The weird dream that night still had a little impact on Luo Junyao, so much so that he felt uncomfortable when he saw Qin Ning in the academy the next day.
Qin Ning sat at Luo Junyao's table, holding her chin with one hand and looking at Luo Junyao curiously, "Shaoyao, did you not sleep well last night?"
Luo Jun said: "No, I slept very well!"
Qin Ning smiled and said, "But you look like you haven't slept well."
Luo Jun said: "This is haggard makeup."
"Really?" Qin Ning obviously didn't believe it, "But..."
"Besides, I regretted it!" Luo Junyao said, "The bet does not count."
"No!" Qin Ning said immediately: "I just won't say it."
Among the girls in the martial arts academy, Luo Junyao is the most capable. If she refuses to accompany him to spar, life will definitely be boring.
Luo Junyao snorted lightly and put the open book on his face to express that he didn't want to pay attention to Qin Ning.
How could she say that she stayed awake in the middle of the night last night?
Qin Xiaoning is so annoying!
"Luo Junyao!" Xie Yuan rushed into the room with several people angrily, and rushed directly to Luo Junyao regardless of the surprised looks of others.
Luo Junyao looked at the aggressive Xie Yuan strangely, "Is something wrong?"
Xie Yuan said: "Ling Xiang didn't come to the academy today. Did you do something to her?"
Luo Junyao stood up, slapped his hands on the table, and asked, "Are you mentally ill?"
"What?" Xie Yuan was stunned by her calmness.
Luo Junyao said: "Shen Lingxiang didn't come to the academy. First, you should ask the gentleman at the academy if she took leave. Second, you should go to the Luo family in person and ask why she didn't come, instead of coming here to question me inexplicably. Look.
For the sake of you being a woman, I will not beat you today. Please get out of here."
"Luo Junyao!" Xie Yuan said confidently: "She took a leave of absence. If you hadn't bullied Ling Xiang, why wouldn't she have come to the academy?!"
Luo Junyao sneered, ignored Xie Yuan, left his seat, grabbed Xie Yuan's lapel, and dragged him out.
Even though Xie Yuan is arrogant, she is still just a weak girl. Even if she is taller than Luo Junyao, she is still no match for her.
Luo Junyao had no sympathy for her, and he just grabbed Xie Yuan by the collar and dragged him out.
She was shorter than Xie Yuan, so Xie Yuan could only be dragged out of the room in an extremely awkward manner.
Luo Junyao stood under the eaves and threw Xie Yuan unceremoniously into the yard.
Xie Yuan fell to the ground in embarrassment and said angrily: "Luo Junyao! I won't let you go!"
"Who are you not going to let go?" A cold female voice sounded. Zhang Jingyu, the dean of the martial arts academy and a riding and archery teacher, stood not far behind him, looking coldly at Xie Yuan on the ground.
Zhang Jingyu is not only a gentleman in the academy, but also the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager. No matter how arrogant Xie Yuan is, he still has some scruples about her.
Luo Junyao immediately said: "Sir, she came to trouble me! I was afraid that she would disturb everyone's class, so I was about to throw her out."
Zhang Jingyu nodded, and although he didn't look good, he said: "Then hurry up, don't blame me for being rude if you are late!"
"Yes, sir!" Luo Jun replied crisply, walking towards Xie Yuan on the ground with a sunny face.
He grabbed Xie Yuan's collar again and continued to drag him out without mercy, "Let's go quickly, don't be late. I heard that the rules of your Linglong class are very strict. If you are late, you will be punished, right?"
"You...let me go! Let me go!" Xie Yuan was dragged to the point of being embarrassed by her, struggling and shouting.
Luo Junyao looked back at her and smiled: "No."
Shen Lingxiang neither went to Anlan Academy nor was he at home today.
She went out early in the morning as usual, but her destination was not Anlan Academy.
Now that she doesn't go to school with Luo Junyao, it's not without benefits. For example, she has much more freedom to go wherever she wants.
After the carriage left Luo Mansion, it went to a remote alley in the city. After Shen Lingxiang got off the car, he told the driver and the girl to stay in the car and then turned and walked towards the alley.
The driver and the girl didn't ask any questions, and looked as if they were used to it. It was obvious that Shen Lingxiang was not visiting this place for the first time.
Standing in front of an inconspicuous door at the end of the alley, Shen Lingxiang knocked lightly, and soon someone opened the door.
Stepping into the courtyard, Shen Lingxiang still frowned habitually, with a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.
The person who opened the door was a simple and honest young man named Zhang Xiang, who was fifteen or sixteen years old. He smiled happily when he saw Shen Lingxiang and said, "Sister Shen, my adoptive father is in the house."
Shen Lingxiang glanced at him coldly and said, "I know, I'll go in by myself, and you just stay here."
"Oh." The young man scratched his head and nodded obediently.
The yard was very dilapidated and small, so the inside of the house was naturally not much better.
Shen Lingxiang just walked in from the sunny courtyard and frowned because of the dim light in the room.
Sitting in a dark and simple room was a man with a somewhat stooped figure. His voice was old and somewhat sinister, as if his infinite malice could be sensed just from his words.
"Why are you here at this time? Didn't I tell you to be careful?"
Shen Lingxiang couldn't help but take a step back, but thought of what he wanted and endured it.
The man said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? Just tell me."
Shen Lingxiang whispered: "The Luo family...the previous plan may not work."
The man was stunned, "What's going on?"
Shen Lingxiang frowned, "Haven't you heard what happened in the imperial city during this period? That idiot of the Luo family has changed. It is impossible for the Luo family and Young Master Xuan Yu to get married again. If Junyao Luo doesn't marry Young Master Xuan Yu, what will happen to me? manage? "
The man seemed to really not know about this and stood up suddenly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
As soon as he stood up, it was obvious that one of his legs was twisted in a weird way. When he stood up, his shoulders were higher and lower, as if he was half-bending to the left.
Shen Lingxiang gritted his teeth and said, "You told me not to run here all the time for fear of being seen! I asked people to look for you twice, but there was no one here at all!"
If she hadn't really been unable to wait any longer, she wouldn't have come to such a dirty and dark slum herself.
The man was silent for a moment and said hoarsely: "I went out of town to do some errands a few days ago."
Shen Lingxiang didn't care what he did, he just said anxiously: "Then what should I do now?"
The man was silent, and Shen Lingxiang said: "I am already seventeen. After Luo Mingxiang's marriage, the Luo family will start organizing the marriage for that idiot Luo Junyao. Others may say that they are partial, and they will definitely choose a house for me at will. !At that time...what hope can I have?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Lingxiang became even more anxious, "Didn't you say you would definitely help me?"
After a long while, the man said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you must marry that Xie Chengyou?"
Shen Lingxiang nodded quickly and said: "Yes, he is the best candidate I can choose. And... I know that Mr. Xuan Yu also has my heart in his heart." At this point, Shen Lingxiang felt a little sweet in his heart.
She did like that Xie Chengyou had a better status and family background, but she was also a young girl, so naturally she also had girlish feelings.
Xie Chengyou was the best person in appearance and ability among the people she could get to know, so she had no reason not to like him.
"Okay." The man said, "Go back to your mother, tell her that you want to marry Xie Chengyou, and ask her to ask the old lady of the Luo family."
"How is this possible?" Shen Lingxiang couldn't help but question.
If it was that simple to achieve what she wanted, she would have asked the old lady for help, why bother to put in so much effort?
The man chuckled and said: "Of course your mother has a way to persuade Mrs. Luo. If she refuses, just show this to her."
A little light flashed in the dark night, and Shen Lingxiang stretched out his hand to catch the thing thrown by the man.
In the dim light, Shen Lingxiang saw clearly that there was a pendant in his palm.
The appearance and workmanship are ordinary, and there really is nothing special about them.
"Is this... really useful? Will my mother help me when she sees this?" Growing up, she knew very well what kind of person her biological mother was.
She would help her do some things without leaving a trace, and she might know some of the things she did but pretend not to know. It was obvious that she had spoiled Luo Junyao from the beginning, but she always looked like she was sincerely doing Luo Junyao's good.
Shen Lingxiang initially hated Luo Junyao because she felt that her mother treated her better than she did.
Shen Lingxiang knew that he was not a good person, and he did not hesitate to admit it.
But her mother always believed that she was a good person.
She would not do something that obviously required her to stand up against the Luo family.
She would only advise her to please her grandmother, listen to her uncle, and please her two cousins so that she can marry into a good family in the future.
It's like, she knew that she also liked Xie Chengyou, but she always tried to persuade her not to steal things from Luo Junyao.
As if she was really kind and innocent, could it be that Luo Junyao was raised by Shen Lingxiang because of her previous uneducated appearance?
The man said: "Would you know if you try it?"
Shen Lingxiang looked at the man and held the pendant tightly in his hand. After a moment of hesitation, he whispered: "Before, the person who drugged Mr. Luo at the Luo family, do you know who he was?"
The man's eyes flashed, "Why do you ask this?"
Shen Lingxiang said: "No, I'm just a little curious. Mr. Xuanyu said that he didn't know who it was. But...since it wasn't done by Prince Mu's house, who would be so bored as to give Mr. Luo the medicine?"
The man said: "This has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to worry about it. Since you really want to marry Xie Chengyou, just worry more about your own affairs and stop meddling in other people's business!"
Shen Lingxiang was surprised: "Do you really know?!"
The man sneered, "Let's go."
Shen Lingxiang felt a little disappointed when she couldn't get an answer from the man.
But seeing the man sitting back again, refusing to communicate, she didn't dare to ask any more questions and had to retreat silently.
