C45 Uncover
At this moment, Luo Minglei no longer dared to look at Luoan'S Time. It was already his limit to be able to directly look this Luoan'S Time in the eye as he called out his uncle's name.
At this moment, Luo Minglei appeared to be a child. He lowered his head in fear, his voice still trembling, but he insisted, "I should call you uncle, I am actually not your biological son."
Luoan'S Time closed his eyes, his voice was still indifferent, but it made people feel cold hearing it: "It's not my child, don't tell me that you are the son of the one kneeling in front of me."
Hearing that, Luo Minglei also looked towards Luo Anxu, but he did not see his own father's excitement or enthusiasm, there was only disgust and coldness, with just a glance, he was unwilling to look.
He quickly knelt down at the Luoan'S Time, "I am indeed the child born of the secret relationship between Concubine Cui and Luo Anxu, I am sorry."
Luoan'S Time didn't really want to speak anymore at this point. He just leaned back tiredly, and for a moment, the ancestral hall fell into silence once more.
When First Madame saw this, she stroked Luoan'S Time's hands in relief. Although he had used him, she was still a husband and wife who had respected each other for so many years.
He asked the question that Luoan'S Time had been unable to answer for him: "When did you find out about this? What is your purpose in saying it now?"
"I learned this from Concubine Cui four years ago, before I was kicked out of the Luo Mansion. It's just that I don't want to continue hiding it from you now, I don't have any other purpose."
First Madame did not know how to continue asking, but the kid had become a little too fast, as if it was still the day before. As the great Young Master of Luo Mansion, Luo Minglei was just a little fatty who had his head held high and chest puffed up, pretending to teach his younger brother a lesson, making him look funny. At this moment, he was still a child who was not even ten years old, but he had already written about the vicissitudes of life on his face.
Then, Luo Mingshi opened her mouth, only to hear her gentle and calm, warm yet cold voice saying: "You could have kept this matter a secret, no one would have known." Originally, in this place, as a member of the younger generation, she was not qualified to speak. However, no one blamed her, because she had spoken out the thoughts of the crowd.
Luo Minglei only replied, "Someone will eventually find out."
Luo Mingshi understood, was it afraid that she could not overcome the hurdle in her heart? When humans were born, they were naturally kind. Because of these words, she wanted to let Luo Minglei go, but because of this, Luo Minglei also wanted to tell her everything.
The Luoan'S Time also spoke, but his voice was filled with fatigue, "Let's drink a cup of Jiu Jiu, and send the three feet of white silk to the Concubine Cui in the hut at the back of the mountain."
Unexpectedly, Luo Minglei kowtowed once again, and his nervousness was revealed in his voice: "Before I came, I had already let Concubine Cui go."
Luoan'S Time got up, walked to the kneeling Luo Minglei, looked down at him, and coldly said: "Then how do you want me to punish you?"
In that moment, Luo Minglei thought about many different scenes of him being punished, and even thought about death. At that moment, he seemed to have suddenly gained enlightenment, and replied casually, "I should not have been born, nor did I live in this world. To be able to live under the title of Eldest Young Master for so many years, it is already worth it.
After the Luoan'S Time heard this, he looked deeply at the child, then raised his head and instructed: "Do as the ancestors say, kill this person randomly, and let the women and children avoid him. Luo Minglei, watch the punishment."
For a child, letting him personally witness his own father being executed was undoubtedly extremely cruel ?
It was just that there was fear on Luo Minglei's face, fear, and other complicated expressions, but he did not regret it at all. Thinking about it now, before Luo Minglei revealed his identity, he might have thought that he would cause Luo Anxu's death.
Luo Minglei didn't understand what role he was playing at the moment.
"Wang Chun, the Concubine Cui has run away, do we not have another chance?" Luo Mingshi had mixed feelings. She originally wanted to show her good intentions to let Luo Minglei go, but he jumped out and explained everything to her. She helped her put Luo Anxu to death and also let his go.
Wang Chun wanted to console her, but she did not know how to begin: "The Great Zhou Dynasty is so big, and outside of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was another time. The Concubine Cui ran out, how could the young miss know how far she ran, and where she went."
Wang Chun continued to speak, but seeing that Luo Mingshi had stopped talking, she did not have any intention to continue any further, and only advised in a small voice: "Miss, it is better if you do not take Concubine Cui seriously, no matter how far she goes, she will not be able to run," After thinking for a bit, you continued, "Miss, I said that Concubine Cui will have retribution, do not take it to heart anymore."
"Wang Chun, don't say anymore. I understand." Luo Mingshi looked at the mud beneath her feet, and thought, so what if Concubine Cui ran, it was as Wang Chun had said, a person with ulterior motives would never be able to outrun her, nor could she outrun her.
Seeing that she had hurriedly held up an umbrella for Luo Mingshi, Wang Chun pulled Luo Mingshi to the side, as there was less dirt than the ground beneath his feet, before she said: "Miss, do not step on that place, in case your feet get dirty."
Hearing Wang Chun's words, Luo Mingshi suddenly laughed, and said: "Wang Chun, time to go back to your room."
It was probably the early morning of the next day when they received the news that the two had been buried and not buried in the mausoleum.
Another message came in, but Master did not say that he wanted to take Luo Minglei seriously, instead, Luo Minglei took the initiative and returned to Yu He Town. Master agreed, and took off the name of Young Master Luo Minglei, only instructing him to add a lot of wealth to Luo Minglei's carriage.
It had only been a day's work, but the master of Luo Mansion and his counting half master had been reduced by half. The enormous Luo Mansion seemed to be even more empty and desolate, and even the Spring Festival, which should have been bustling with noise and excitement, had been hastily passed.
The person with the most authority in the backyard had also become the First Madame. Luoan'S Time had played and requested a leave of absence for three days, but in the end, after receiving the orders from his comrades, he started to head to court. Even the rumors about the Luo Mansion had spread, but after it got heated up, they also changed the topic.
Luo Mingshi went to pay respects to the First Madame as usual. Seeing the current First Madame, she could clearly feel that the First Madame was in high spirits compared to before, the aura of the person in charge from her body was stronger. It was probably because after this battle, she had completely defeated the old lady.
Even so, he treated her like usual, keeping her here from time to time, teaching her more things in the name of drinking tea, even how to be a butler, how to be a powerhouse, he had dabbled in these things, including Luo Mingshi's chess and tea skills.
