C59 Burying

When Luo Mingshi heard Uncle Luo's question, she knew that it was from Feng Haoxuan. If she really had to answer, then Feng Haoxuan would hurry up and come over.

Luo Mingshi indifferently glanced at Feng Haoxuan, then ignored him. She then said to Uncle Luo: "Let's set it in the guest room."

Luo Mingshi chose a plot of land on top of the lush green mountain. The scenery there was great, and it was also right on top of spring. The flowers that filled the mountain were all competing to bloom, the air was fresh, the scenery was enchanting, and there was also the stream that flowed down from the top of the mountain with a small stream.

Then, he asked the Uncle Luo to choose a few days before bringing a few servants of the Luo Family to the mountain.

He saw the soil being scooped up and slowly turned into a pit, where his mother would sleep peacefully for a hundred years. Luo Mingshi could not help but recall every single detail about her mother.

She recalled that her mother had personally sewn a cloak to protect her from the cold and had said that she would wear it when she grew up.

She recalled that when her father had scolded her, only her mother had pleaded for mercy.

She thought back to the time when her mother had hurried over, exhausted from all the work she had done in the past few days, and beads of sweat had even begun to form on her forehead in the winter.

She remembered a soft, firm voice saying in her ear, "Auntie will protect you."

She also remembered how her hands had been covered in blood at the last moment.

He suddenly opened his eyes and did not dare to continue thinking about it, just to see Feng Haoxuan, who had followed him here, use his own body to replace the position of a servant of the Luo Family.

Luo Mingshi's eyes were calm as she watched quietly, she did not try to stop them and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Wasn't he supposed to?

After she finished setting up the Madame Li's tombstone, Luo Mingshi personally placed the ashes inside, and then watched as she scooped up the originally excavated dirt and put it back in.

After going around in circles for so long, his mother was finally buried. Although he was unwilling to accept this fact, but now everything had settled down to dust. He didn't even have an excuse to be weak anymore.

When the last pile of dirt fell, everyone saw Luo Mingshi kowtow three more times to the Madame Li, before standing up and bringing everyone down the mountain.

The moment Luo Mingshi returned to his Luo Mansion, she saw Uncle Luo waiting for her at the door. Luo Mingshi stepped forward somewhat helplessly: "Uncle Luo, you don't have to stand at the door and wait for me every time."

Hearing this, Luo Xinghai swallowed back the words he was going to say. He thought to tell the old man to wait, so he only said, "Miss, you're tired too. Let's go into the house and have a cup of tea first."

Luo Mingshi understood the meaning behind Uncle Luo's words, but she had something to say.

After Luo Mingshi rested for a while and drank another cup of tea, Luo Xing Hai said: "A letter came from Luo Family Department just now, asking the young miss to go see him."

Hearing that, Luo Mingshi did not have any change in expression, but instead asked: "Since the Luo Family department has sent people to announce that I will meet, should I go see them?"

Luo Xinghai did not expect Luo Mingshi to say that, and was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized what Luo Mingshi had said, and laughed out loud, as though she could not hold it in any longer, and waited for Luo Mingshi to look over with a suspicious look in her eyes, and restrained herself a little, but she still laughed and said: "Miss, you are right, how honorable is Miss, if you want to meet, it is that old fellow who personally came."

Luo Mingshi did not understand why Uncle Luo would suddenly smile so happily. In fact, she really wanted to say that what she had just said was only a question.

Seeing that Luo Mingshi was still looking at him with a confused expression, she said, "The old fellow I'm talking about is that Luo Family elder."

Luo Mingshi nodded, she had heard of the elder's name before.

Luo Xinghai sighed and continued: "Ever since Master started to busy himself with matters of the imperial court, because the Patriarch was not around, many things needed Luo Xingchen to take care of. Thus, all these years, the economy of the Luo Family was entirely controlled by Luo Xingchen, I saw that Luo Xingchen's power was growing day by day, and no one dared to resist his words, even after he had said them with some guilt," These elders of the Luo Mansion couldn't help but have a little bit of sincerity and respect for him. "

When heard this, he pursed his lips but did not answer. The strong had always been like this for the king, the people within the Luo Mansion still had to rely on the Uncle Luo to lead them and survive. Since the Uncle Luo wanted to survive, of course, they had to lower their heads to the strong.

Just because Uncle Luo saw her happiness and devoted service, he could still be trusted.

Luo Mingshi somewhat understood what her father had said before she came. Just from Uncle Luo's description, the situation was probably worse than his father had expected.

Luo Xinghai continued, "It's just that I didn't expect that now that the Lady has returned, he would actually dare to be so rude to her. Isn't he a little too arrogant?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but regret that he didn't spit at the servant before he came to deliver the message. He didn't tell him to go back and tell the old man that he was coming personally.

He actually also passed the message to Second Miss, luckily Second Miss was sensible, if not he would break the rules and fuel Luo Xingchen's anger. However, even though she thought like that, there were still some who said, "However, if young miss is interested in the next position of the family head, it would be better not to offend that old fellow. After all, most of the family heads' power is grasped within that old man's hands."

Since that was the case, Luo Xingchen anxiously sent someone to proclaim that she did not have any intentions to probe further. He wanted to test if she was the one who would take the seat of the family head, and see if she had the ability to measure up to him.

But Luo Mingshi still had a doubt, "If what you said was true, then Luo Xingchen's authority is like the sun in the sky, why didn't he directly replace my father?"

This was also why he was suspicious. Although Luo Xingchen had become more and more powerful in the recent years, and everyone was waiting for him to give priority to himself, but even after waiting for so many years, there was still no movement.

Luo Xinghai thought to himself, I hope it's because that old guy still has a bit of conscience in his heart, and nothing else.

Luo Mingshi did not know that Luo Xinghai had already thought this much in his heart. She had originally known that the elders of the Luo Family would definitely want to meet them, but seeing as to what was going to happen would not depend on the words of the other party.

Luo Mingshi raised another cup of tea, but did not drink it, lowering her eyes she gently sniffed the tea, and everyone thought that she was sipping the tea, she finally drank the cup of tea, and seeing the happy look on Luo Mingshi's face, everyone guessed, wasn't the tea extremely good?

She smiled as she put down the teacup and said: "Uncle Luo, you're overthinking it. I'm only here to bury my mother under Jiangnan and also to enjoy the scenery of the cruise ship. How can I compete with you for the position of Patriarch?"

The two of them talked for a long time and were just about to return to their room, when the dutiful "bodyguard" saw that Luo Mingshi didn't even look at her before leaving, he felt really depressed. He could only sigh and return back to his room with Uncle Luo, before jumping out the back window of the guest room and headed towards Luo Mingshi's room, finding a place to lie down and take a nap.

In a moment, Feng Haoxuan immediately opened his eyes, and with a tap of his movement technique, he jumped into Luo Mingshi's room, and as expected, someone entered Luo Mingshi's room.
