C92 Pacify
If that was really the case, how could it enter the eyes of a strict Elder Luo? Thinking about that, Luo Mingshi could not help but laugh.
However, the shock had come so suddenly. When they found the Elder Luo, they heard him say: "I asked this kid to come help me in the afternoon, but he went somewhere to be lazy. I still haven't seen him."
Luo Mingshi felt it was strange, and she couldn't help but ask a little more questions. "Hong Yi wouldn't lie, he clearly said that he wanted to help you with something, why would he lie to me?" She asked again, "Has Hongyi ever stolen laziness before?"
Seeing Luo Mingshi's serious look, Elder Luo could not help but hesitate, but thinking about it, he immediately replied: "Never before, every time I called for him to help me with my work, he would readily agree, and would happily come over, promising me that this old man would not come again, and this is actually the first time."
The more he spoke, the more flustered he became. Just what was the matter with Hongyi?
Elder Luo could not sit still no matter how impatient he became. He paced back and forth, suddenly wanting to walk outside, muttering to himself, "That is a silly child, he must have been bullied by someone outside. No way, I have to go look for him."
Of course, Luo Mingshi stopped him. She was also extremely anxious in her heart, but she was still relatively calm.
However, when had she ever seen Elder Luo like this? In her impression, Elder Luo was always sitting steadily, high above, and because of what Luo Hongyi did, she had just seen her side of the situation, and Luo Mingshi was shocked.
Elder Luo didn't have any relatives, the only ones that could be considered relatives were Luo Chengde and Luo Hongyi, the two nominal grandchildren that he adopted.
If one were to say that Luo Chengde was only expected to be his successor, then the pure and kind Luo Hongyi was the one that caused the Elder Luo to treat him like his own grandson.
If the person who went missing at that moment was Luo Chengde, the Elder Luo would probably think that he was busy with matters of the Luo Family.
At this moment, Luo Mingshi's first mission was to pacify the Elder Luo. Not to mention that he was currently the pillar of the Luo Family, just him being an old man and the sky was about to turn dark, it was definitely not safe for him to rush in by himself.
Luo Mingshi held onto the Elder Luo's waist and did her best to pacify his: "Clan Elder, Clan Elder, calm down. Clan Elder, do you believe in me?
When Luo Xingchen saw that Luo Mingshi was about to stop her and wanted to resist, and heard her say that she wanted to make him believe her, what could an eleven year old child do?
That's right, she was not an ordinary little child. Even though she was only eleven years old now, she was a Miss Luo Family whose methods were precise, her actions mature, her mind intelligent, and her way of doing business.
Although she was only eleven years old, she dared to challenge his authority in Luo Family. Within a month, she had finished looking through all of the books in the Luo Family that had amounted to more than ten years, and easily obtained control of the prosperous Western City in Luo Chengde's hands.
Even though she was only eleven years old, the astonishing energy in her body couldn't be underestimated. It would often shock and shock you when you least expected it, but it would also give you the feeling of trusting her that there was nothing impossible for her.
Elder Luo had to admit that it was only at this moment that he realized just how amazing the young miss of the parasitic family whom he had always looked down upon was.
Luo Xingchen could tell that Luo Mingshi was also nervous about Luo Hongyi at the moment, but she was able to calmly think of a way to solve the problem, unlike the usual him who was flustered and disturbed the moment she heard the news. Just based on this point, he was not as calm as her.
Finally, Luo Xingchen chose to compromise, and stopped walking out impulsively, and went back to look for a chair, forcing himself to calm down, and asked anxiously: "Don't delay any longer, tell me everything you know."
Luo Mingshi suddenly said something that confused Luo Xingchen: "Does our Luo Family department have any cats?"
Although Luo Xingchen did not know what Luo Mingshi meant by that, he quickly replied affirmatively: "No."
Luo Mingshi frowned, the ominous premonition in her heart grew stronger. She had long known that Luo Chengde had tricked her, and she had originally wanted to ignore him.
Could it be that Luo Hongyi accidentally went and got into that trap?
That's bad, Luo Chengde hated her for wanting to kill him, if that trap trapped Luo Hongyi, Hong Yi would still be able to live.
Elder Luo remembered this from the side, but Luo Mingshi just frowned and did not say anything. Her heart was burning with anxiety, and she yelled out unceremoniously: "Tell me what you know."
Luo Mingshi also knew that this matter was not a joke, and immediately told her the whole story, as well as the envoy's and Luo Chengde's abnormal behavior.
Seeing Luo Xingchen's doubtful gaze, Luo Mingshi did not get angry.
She said that Luo Chengde had used this tactic on her in order to trick her. How could the scheming Luo Xingchen not think of another level? Could it be that Luo Mingshi had backfired at him?
"There's no need for the two of you to fight each other," Hong Yi said. "He wouldn't fight with you. Why would he let a child go?" It was only because Luo Mingshi was stupid that she could not recognize Luo Mingshi's tone of voice.
However, she was in a rush, so she did not want to argue with Luo Xingchen about this.
"Right now, the most important thing to do is to save Hongyi. As to who is the mastermind behind this, we can wait until Luo Hongyi is safe before we discuss about it. Right now, we still have to trouble Elder Luo to get everyone in Luo Family to cooperate with me.
Seeing that Elder Luo still had a face full of unwillingness, he could not help but take another ruthless medicine:
"The relationship between the elders and Luo Chengde's ancestors for more than ten years has made him suspect me instead. If I were to ask the elder to reconsider, who exactly is the one who has the upper hand between Luo Chengde and I right now? Do I need to take the risk to harm Hongyi and frame Luo Chengde? "
"Or could it be that even after more than ten years have passed, Elder Luo still hasn't seen through the identity of that Luo Chengde person?"
Luo Xingchen, who had his eyes closed tightly, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this.
It was unknown whether it was because of Luo Mingshi's confession or because he clearly knew of Luo Chengde, but in the end, Luo Xingchen nodded his head.
Seeing that Elder Luo had finally let go of him, Luo Mingshi did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered, "If Hongyi is really going to help me find that manor, she must at least take a carriage."
Luo Xingchen immediately added on from the side, "Maybe he doesn't know how to ride a horse."
Luo Mingshi immediately followed up: "That's a carriage. Quickly go and check if any of the carriages are missing."
