C28 Cooperation
When Luo Mingshi heard it, she wanted to say that it was an accident. She thought that even if she said that the First Madame would not believe him, so she gave up and said, "I do not want to do anything to the Fourth Concubine. Mother sought me out to cooperate, and found the wrong person."
Luo Mingshi decided not to pretend and directly told her what she thought.
When First Madame heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Luo Mingshi in surprise.
As if she had truly realised that what Luo Mingshi said was the truth, she started to get restless. She had initially thought that Luo Mingshi was very considerate, and even though she had gotten rid of Luo Minglei to help him obtain his Luo Family, there was an additional stumbling block for Luo Mingyan at the Fourth Concubine.
Furthermore, when First Madame saw that Luo Mingshi was still young, she still despised him a little in her heart. She had never thought that Luo Mingshi would reject him. But now, the First Madame had already revealed her thoughts to Luo Mingshi. If the two of them did not cooperate, wouldn't that mean that they would expose him before they even started fighting?
Thinking like this, she had to pull Luo Mingshi along no matter what.
"Think again, is there really nothing to ask for? If I help you fulfill your wish, how about you help me achieve my wish as well? " Now it was time for the temptation, but there was a hint of impatience in her tone.
Of course, Luo Mingshi could hear it, and in her heart she knew that this collaboration was impossible to escape from. First Madame's intentions were already known to her, she could either turn him into one of her own or treat him as an enemy.
Moreover, when she thought about First Madame's question: Do you really not have anything else you want?
He thought of the Madame Li who would easily cry in weakness, his young brother who had no ability to protect himself, and his pure face.
Luo Mingshi muttered to herself for a long time before replying once again. She agreed to First Madame's suggestion, and said: "I actually want something that I can take care of. I want Madam to ensure my younger brother's safety, as well as Second Aunt's safety."
First Madame did not expect that what Luo Mingshi wanted was this, after being stunned for a moment, she reacted, and said somewhat angrily, "You think too much, I'll protect you three together, and then I'll help you remove the fetus from Fourth Concubine's stomach, then Luo Mingyan will take the seat of Patriarch of Luo Family, and all the benefits will be yours."
Luo Mingshi heard and sighed, "Madam said that she would help me get what I wanted, and as I said, since Madam wants to go back on her words, I can't see the sincerity in you, so I am not willing to cooperate with you." With that, she stood up and prepared to leave.
In an instant, Grandma Chen's disgusted face flashed past First Madame's mind. First Madame immediately said: "Wait a moment," her voice suddenly sounded a little disappointed: "I'll help you."
She did not know why First Madame wanted to eliminate the child of the Fourth Concubine. If one were to say that it was because the First Madame could not tolerate the sons of the other aunts in the household, then Mingyan had definitely been taken care of by her. At the very least, she had never done anything to harm Mingyan before.
Whether or not Mother is able to help me, I am not too satisfied. I can only say that Mother is very certain, and my heart is a bit more at ease. After all, Mother is the second most respected person in Luo Mansion.
Seeing that First Madame was still indifferent, Luo Mingshi thought for a moment and pretended to be grateful that First Madame had never thought of harming them before. She added on, "When Ming Yan was only six years old, he was already very filial and polite, and knew how to repay kindness and kindness. It was when he was four years old and the gatekeeper gave him a piece of candy to eat, he remembered that gatekeeper's good memory until now, and would always take a look at that gatekeeper to greet him."
"Mother said she was helping me, but wasn't that helping herself as well? If Luo Mingyan is really going to become the Luo Family Patriarch in the future, based on the fact that you are his mother, what can he do to you?"
The First Madame heard Luo Mingshi's words and seemed to understand something. It was only when she was awakened by Luo Mingshi's last sentence, that she was still looking at the tea leaves floating in the middle of the tea cup, not looking at Luo Mingshi.
After saying that, Luo Mingshi felt that she had talked too much today, she did not want to say more, so she turned and left after saying goodbye to the First Madame.
Only then did First Madame raise her head, and looked at Luo Mingshi's back, and sighed secretly.
So it was me.
Ju Xiang took a step forward with some worry, "Madam?"
First Madame retracted her gaze and looked at the withered and yellow lotus leaf in the lake once again. The lake water was like still water without the slightest ripple, and she sighed and said, "If there's nothing, let's go back to the room."
Inside the room, Luo Mingshi was flipping through the poems that Luo Mingyan had written.
When Luo Mingyan walked in, followed by Qingzhu, he was also surprised to see Luo Mingshi, and immediately said happily: "Why has big sister come." As he said that, he walked towards Luo Mingshi.
Luo Mingshi saw that although Luo Mingyan was happy, she did not reveal it on her face, and only said: "Although your calligraphy is good, but you do not have enough spiritual energy, so you should practice more."
Luo Mingyan blushed, but still obediently answered: "Teacher also said that, I know, I will practice my words properly."
Luo Mingshi responded as she saw Luo Mingyan, "Look at what you wrote. Do you know what that means? "
Luo Mingyan's face became even redder, and said: "I don't know." With that, she looked at Luo Mingshi timidly.
Luo Mingshi did not appear angry, she only put down the manuscript in her hand and walked in front of Luo Mingyan, then lowered her head and looked at him.
Luo Mingyan didn't know what his sister wanted to do, and only raised his head to look at her in confusion.
Luo Mingshi asked, "Mingyan, do you want to be the Clan Master of the Luo Family?" Luo Mingshi had thought about it in private about why so many people thought that she wanted Ming Yan to become her Patriarch. Since everyone was thinking the same thing, then what about Mingyan, was she thinking the same thing?
Hearing Luo Mingshi suddenly ask about this, Luo Mingyan was startled, as though she had never thought about it before. After a long while, she finally replied: "I think so."
Looking at the determination on her brother's face, Luo Mingshi felt a complex feeling in her heart.
Luo Mingyan was still guessing at why his sister suddenly brought up this topic, but he didn't expect to hear something that shocked him quite a bit.
"If you want to become the Clan Master of Luo Family, you need to rely on your own abilities. If you have the ability, even if you are not the Clan Master of Luo Family, you can still break through your own limits. If you are not capable, even if you become the Clan Master, you won't be able to do it for long. Remember, I'm not going to help you with anything, and no one is going to help you, you know? "
Luo Mingyan was greatly shocked upon hearing this, as though he had felt something, but was unable to fathom it. "But big sister also said last time that you are the smart one, knowing how to borrow someone else's power."
Luo Mingshi frowned. "In a nutshell, a gentleman's caution is like a rock, and he treats all things with indulgence. He says' no matter how you look at things, 'but he's actually telling you not to stick to the pattern. On the other hand, if you're a piece of mud that can't support a wall, no matter how you look at things, it's useless.
Although Luo Mingshi's words were for Luo Mingyan's own good, it was still a little excessive. On the way back, Wang Chun mumbled to herself a few times, but Luo Mingshi did not see anything wrong with her words.
In the end, Wang Chun couldn't help but ask: "Young miss and Second Young Master have always had a good relationship, today young miss's words are really too harsh, aren't you afraid of hurting Second Young Master's heart?"
Luo Mingshi said calmly: "If he was an idiot, he would have bothered to quibble with me. Moreover, "thinking about how Luo Mingyan was so angry that he didn't want to look at her, the more she felt that it was shameful, so she continued to speak while smiling," Furthermore, Ming Yan is smart. Most likely, they all understand this in their hearts. "
