C31 Softening of heart

Finally, Luo Minglei removed the bamboo shoot by its roots and handed it over to Luo Dong who was holding a basket by the side while poking at the excess soil on the bamboo shoot. "You need to make this bamboo shoot by cooking it in the kitchen as soon as possible.

As he said that, he saw Luo Mingshi staring at his dirty hands. Luo Mingshi blushed and hid his hands behind her back, then stopped talking. It was winter and the weather was very cold. Even though his hands were covered with mud, it was obvious that his hands were red and swollen.

At this moment, Luo Mingshi's heart was in a mess, she was unable to accept it. She was originally the son of her enemy, but from the beginning, she had always been opposing sides.

It's just that at this moment, the people who were originally opposing you, displayed a kind, gentle, and even had a sense of kindness in their hearts. After all, Luo Minglei was only a ten-year old child.

Wang Chun saw that his young miss had been staring at the lit candle on the table in a daze ever since she came back, so she walked forward and spoke slowly: "Miss, be careful not to hurt your eyes."

Hearing that, Luo Mingshi blinked her eyes, then lowered her gaze and stared at the letter on the table, as though she was not willing to speak. When Wang Chun saw that it was the letter written with the young master's background again, she sighed in her heart, as long as the young miss felt sad, she would love to compete with him.

Just as she was about to add more carbon to the brazier to make the room warmer, she heard the young miss say, "Wang Chun, you said 'human nature is good in the beginning of life' right?"

Wang Chun did not immediately answer, but secretly guessed at what was in Young Miss's heart, and then opened her mouth and said: "Young Miss is softhearted."

Luo Mingshi did not deny or admit it. After a long time, the black charcoal that was placed inside started to burn, and she said, "Let's keep it first."

He had never told his father about Luo Minglei not being his father's biological child. In the beginning, he had carefully planned and planned, and only stayed until the best opportunity to get the most out of it. Then, he took care of his father, and this time, he was concerned about another child.

In any case, since this letter could not kill her enemy in one blow, why did she need to use it to harm the innocent? Then it was better to just keep it, as a way to keep the truth.

Seeing that Luo Mingshi had made her decision, Wang Chun advised: "Miss, it's getting late, and normally, you would have already gone to sleep.

Hearing that, Luo Mingshi agreed and continued fiddling around. Just as she laid on the bed, a light breathing sound came out.

Seeing that, Wang Chun was relieved, and left to do her own thing.

The next day, inside Peony Court, First Madame was sitting at the head of the table with a straight face. When Luo Mingshi walked in, he saw him immediately, and she felt a little strange.

In truth, ever since she had established a cooperative relationship with First Madame, she felt that he had become more spirited by the day, especially when they got closer to each other, and it was not strange for her to see his amiable expression. It was just that now, it seemed like it had happened a long time ago.

Seeing the dark and gloomy expression on First Madame's face, Luo Mingshi was unable to guess the reason, so she decided not to guess.

Luo Minglei and Luo Mingyan had long since seen her, so they both sat on the left side. When Luo Mingyan saw her, he even winked at her, but in Luo Mingshi's heart, he found it funny.

Luo Mingshi saw that the First Madame was staring straight at the door, as though she was waiting for someone.

When Luo Mingxue came in, First Madame withdrew her gaze and looked at the door.

Seemingly because she was scolded by the First Madame the last time, Luo Mingxue obediently greeted him today. She did not act like usual and immediately find trouble with others the moment she walked in.

First Madame only said lightly, "Don't come late in the future."

How early would that be? Luo Mingshi thought, could it be that First Madame was making things difficult for Luo Mingxue again?

At this time, he heard First Madame say: "The old madam has sent some news, saying that it's been a long time since we last met, and is slightly reminiscing about you. Today, all of you should go and pay respects." Then he turned to Luo Mingyan and said, "I've already sent someone to deliver a message to Teacher, saying that you will be late today."

Luo Mingyan stood up and bowed, "Thank you mother for thinking this way."

First Madame's face softened as she said simply: "Nothing." Then she said, "If that's the case, then let's go now."

No one had any objections. The group majestically passed through several corridors, Flaming Maple Pavilion, and large and small gardens. They finally arrived at the old lady's South Mountain Courtyard after passing through a forest of plum blossoms.

At that time, the old lady had purposely made things difficult for the First Madame, and even the First Madame had probably thought about it, which made her unhappy. It was just that, the old lady did not enjoy and miss them as much as she said she did, so why did she call them to see her this time?

Was it for Second Uncle again? Thinking about it, Luo Mingshi's gaze immediately became cold.

No matter how long the journey was, there was still an end. The signboard of the Southern Hill Estate was already right in front of their eyes.

By the time everyone entered, the old lady was already seated and waiting. She did not linger behind the curtain like last time.

Seeing them arrive, her face lit up. In other words, the happiness on the old lady's face had appeared before they had entered the room. It was likely that she had not stopped there.

First Madame led the crowd to bow and pay their respects to the Old Mistress. The Old Mistress also laughed and said, "Everyone, get up."

Only, with her sharp eyes, Luo Mingshi noticed that when the old lady saw Luo Minglei, her expression froze, and a complicated look flashed across her face. That's right, Luo Mingshi had almost forgotten that the letter was passed down between Concubine Cui and Second Uncle. Concubine Cui had even helped the old lady and Second Uncle with the letter, I think the old lady already knew about that matter.

No one knew what the old lady was up to today, so they could only deal with it carefully. Most likely, it was the old lady who asked the questions, and the juniors only answered if they didn't offend her. A doorman walked in and reported, "Madam, second master is back."

The old mistress stood up abruptly and said with a laugh, "Finally back."

Seeing that the Old Mistress had stood up, no one dared to sit. With a quiver, everyone stood up, even Fourth Concubine stood up with the support of the people around him.

Actually, Fourth Concubine, who was only at most three months old, did not show it. She merely asked someone to support her on purpose, and used her hand to softly stroke her stomach. This was too much of an act, causing First Madame to glance at her stomach meaningfully.

The madame's intentions were too obvious. Luo Mingshi became even more unhappy and thought that if she were to go against Second Uncle in the future, the madame would probably be the first to disagree.

In the end, they did not reach the entrance. When they arrived near the Fire Maple Pavilion, they met Second Uncle.

How could a large group of people move so quickly?

When Luo Anxu saw the old lady, he immediately kneeled down. With tears in his eyes, he sobbed: "Mother." However, he did not know how much of it was fake.
