C22 Probing(2)
The First Madame's words scattered some of the tension in the hall.
Luo Mingyan didn't want to say that Luo Minglei had pushed him down the river, but he couldn't not answer First Madame's question. There was still hesitation on his face, and he didn't know what to say.
On the other hand, Luo Minglei was worried that Luo Mingyan would say what he had done directly, so he was shocked and spoke first, "Mother, save me." He bent his legs and knelt in front of First Madame.
As the mother of a family, she needed to manage the matters in the backyard. How could she not have a few hidden spies and what happened last night, Master did not plan to hide it from her in the first place, it was just that it was late at night.
Today, he would probably inform her and the old lady that he had punished Concubine Cui and wanted to let Luo Minglei out of River Town. However, she did not want to interfere, so she pretended not to know, otherwise, she would have been able to rush over last night when the Master was punishing Luo Minglei.
There was no need to wait for Luo Minglei to personally come over and make love.
"Save you? Why did I save you? What's the matter with you? " Luo Mingxue asked in surprise. Her body was leaning slightly forward as she looked straight at Luo Minglei, her two eyes filled with curiosity.
That's right, if there was anyone who did not know of yesterday's matter, it would be Luo Mingxue and Luo Mingyan. Luo Mingyan only knew half of it, but although she had his doubts, she did not show them on her face. She only sat properly and quietly listened to the conversation between First Madame and Luo Minglei. Luo Mingxue did not know a thing, and did not know her limits.
Luo Minglei pleaded from the First Madame, but he did not dare not answer Luo Mingxue's question. Instead, his words flashed, "Because I angered father, father wanted to kick me out, no, let me go train outside," As he said that, he took two steps forward on his knees, closer to the First Madame. "Mother, save me.
When she finished, she looked at First Madame with a pleading look, and all the gazes in the hall were gathered on First Madame, she used her handkerchief to test the corners of her mouth, and maybe it was because of the morning tea that some of the tea was stained on the corner of her mouth, as she casually started to speak.
"Say, are you going to save or not? You're the young master of Luo Mansion, would Master still harm you?" If word of this gets out, people will think that our Master is a sinner that harmed his son, and that would not be good. " As he spoke, he gave a meaningful glance at Luo Minglei who was kneeling down, causing Luo Minglei's body to tremble as well.
First Madame continued to speak, "You are a good child, Master had placed great hopes on you by allowing you to travel and expand your horizons. You should not disappoint the painstaking effort your father has put in for you."
His originally straight and upright back instantly hunched down, and his ears even heard the First Madame's voice, "Call your errand boy to go with Ju Xiang to the warehouse and pick out a few things that look good, just treat it as a present from your mother. Don't push it away anymore."
After he finished speaking, the First Madame no longer bothered with him. He looked at everyone else, and when his gaze swept past Luo Mingshi, his eyes turned dark and unclear, and Luo Mingshi only smiled in return. Withdrawing his eyes, First Madame said, "Greetings to the both of you. If there is nothing else, then all of you can leave." Thinking for a moment, she said, "If you have free time, you can go and talk to your grandmother. I'm sure she is willing, but don't trouble her."
Luo Mingshi's eyes darkened, upon hearing what First Madame said, Luo Minglei who was kneeling on the ground seemed to have understood something, her originally gloomy eyes became alive again.
On the way back to the Quiet House, Wang Chun could not help but ask suspiciously, "Does young miss see through First Madame's intentions, is she actually helping the young miss, or is she making her an enemy?"
Luo Mingshi laughed, and a dimple immediately appeared on her white and tender face, only to hear her gentle voice, "Mother isn't taking the initiative to help Luo Minglei, even if she doesn't want to be our enemy anymore, she's reminding us that she doesn't care, and that doesn't mean grandmother doesn't care either. She can still sell good things to Luo Minglei, so that Luo Minglei won't hate her, and what's left isn't related to her."
Wang Chun was not stupid, upon hearing Luo Mingshi's words, she immediately understood, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone, "So it turns out that First Madame is still worried about Second Young Master."
Luo Mingshi laughed again, "I can't even be at ease with something that's my own child. If it isn't, how can I be at ease?"
The two of them walked in a line, and at the same time, they heard the voice of the person behind them, "Second Miss, wait a moment, our Young Master wishes to see you." It was the voice of the bamboo.
Luo Mingshi turned around and looked at Luo Mingyan who was hiding behind Qing Zhu. She could not help but smile playfully as she took the initiative to start the conversation, "What's wrong? It's not that your family's master isn't willing to see me, right? " Although her eyes were looking at Luo Mingyan, her words were directed at the green bamboo.
Green Bamboo stammered, not knowing how to reply. After all, when he saw this Second Miss, he was instinctively afraid.
At this time, Luo Mingyan who was hiding behind his, stood out and shouted out: "Big sister." Then, he looked at Luo Mingshi with hope.
Seeing Luo Mingyan's awkward expression, Luo Mingshi wanted to continue teasing him, but now that he heard him call her big sister so calmly, her heart couldn't help but hurt and immediately became soft.
"Is the wound on your face still painful?"
Upon hearing his sister's concern for him, the awkwardness in his heart immediately vanished. He smiled and replied, "It doesn't hurt anymore." In an instant, the brother and sister became as good as new.
Although it was only Luo Mingyan's unilateral thought so, Luo Mingshi still did not really blame Luo Mingyan after all.
Luo Mingyan came closer again and whispered, "Big sister, father came to me yesterday night to ask how his face is injured."
Luo Mingshi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her father had already begun to suspect Second Brother? She didn't show it on the surface, but said gently, "Follow me back and apply the medicine."
Luo Mingyan saw that Luo Mingshi did not take his words to heart, and treated it as nothing major, and threw the pages to the side, then sweetly agreed, and obediently followed behind her sister.
"Yesterday, I said that you shouldn't have, yet you were still angry at me. Today, you can tell me what you are thinking right?"
Luo Mingshi brought Luo Mingyan into the house and asked.
However, Luo Mingyan thought that his sister would not bring it up again, and when he brought it up again, the happiness in his surroundings slowly disappeared, and he could only ponder deeply about the meaning behind it.
After a while, Luo Mingshi said seriously, "I should not have lied to my sister."
After Luo Mingshi heard this, her hands did not stop moving, "What else?" As she spoke, she dipped her finger into the exquisite jade dew ointment, gesturing his younger brother to come closer, and began to gently rub the forehead of his younger brother.
