Luo Junyao finally comforted his eldest brother. The brother and sister were sitting together having dinner when Lan Zhen came in to report.
Neither Luo Junyao nor Luo Jinyan were surprised by Shen Lingxiang's arrival.
Luo Yun is not at home today, and the relationship between the Su family and Shen Lingxiang is indifferent. If she knew that Shen Lingxiang would do something like this when her daughter was about to leave the cabinet, she would not know how to hate her.
Mrs. Luo is a very talkative person, and she can't rely on her if anything happens.
Mrs. Luo has been unhappy these days because Luo Jinyan disobeyed her and refused to accept Chen Yuer. There is no use in looking for her.
The brother and sister looked at each other, and Luo Jinyan said calmly: "Let her wait for a while."
"Yes." Lan Zhen turned around respectfully and went out to deliver the message.
Not long after, there was noise outside.
The voices of Lan Zhen and Lan Yin were somewhat unhappy: "Miss Shen, the eldest young master and the young lady are having a meal! Please wait a moment!"
"Get out of the way! I have something urgent! I want to see Big Brother and Shake!"
"No! Miss Shen, the eldest master ordered..."
Shen Lingxiang was probably really anxious, because Lan Zhen and Lan Yin didn't stop her.
Before she even stepped through the door, she cried without saying anything, "Shao Yao, please save me!"
Luo Junyao and Luo Jinyan both put down their chopsticks. Luo Jinyan frowned and looked at Luo Junyao and said, "Keep eating, aren't you hungry?"
Luo Junyao quickly refused, "I'm not hungry anymore."
She was really not hungry. She ate a lot of snacks while listening to a play in a teahouse in the evening.
Seeing her insistence, Luo Jinyan didn't force her, got up and walked out.
Luo Junyao also stood up and followed him. Shen Lingxiang, who was standing aside, was at a loss and wanted to speak, but in the end he could only bite the corners of his lips and follow silently.
The three of them arrived at the flower hall. Luo Jinyan and Luo Junyao sat down, but Shen Lingxiang stood there uneasily.
Luo Junyao knew that her fearful look was not just an act, but that she was really scared.
Luo Jinyan said: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Shen Lingxiang dwarfed and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Cousin, please help me!"
Luo Jinyan said calmly and calmly: "Speak clearly."
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Shen Lingxiang's face. She was a woman after all, and it was hard for her to say that she had been caught and raped in bed in front of a handsome man like Luo Jinyan.
Seeing her like this, Luo Jinyan didn't feel any pity for her, "Don't want to say it?"
Shen Lingxiang said with tears and a blushing face: "I...I said."
Shen Lingxiang is a smart man and knows how to weigh things.
No matter how shameful she is, she can't hide something like this. Rather than letting them hear it from other people's mouths, it would be better for her to tell it herself.
From Shen Lingxiang's point of view, she naturally had no intention of marrying Xie Chengyou. Instead, she wanted to end things with Xie Chengyou, and Xie Chengyou impulsively forced her to do so.
Although she struggled hard, she couldn't resist Xie Chengyou's strength, and that's when she made a big mistake.
I have to say that Shen Lingxiang's words are not wrong, but some details were not mentioned.
Luo Junyao looked at the pitiful Shen Lingxiang kneeling on the ground, but she was a little lost. She was thinking about a question - her eldest brother had an extraordinary family background. He had already made great achievements in battle at a young age and was of high rank. He was also handsome and handsome. Shen Lingxiang Why didn't she fall in love with her eldest brother?
After a long while, Luo Junyao could only come up with one answer: Shen Lingxiang fell in love with Xie Chengyou, just like the bastard fell in love with Mung Bean. They were right. The eldest brother and she were not the same people.
After Luo Jinyan listened to Shen Lingxiang's words, he was silent for a moment before asking: "How do you want me to help you?"
Shen Lingxiang looked at Luo Jinyan and hesitated to speak. Luo Jinyan raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, "Think carefully before speaking."
Shen Lingxiang gritted his teeth, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "I beg my uncle and cousin to make the decision for me, I, I want..."
"You want to marry Xie Chengyou as your legitimate wife." Seeing her hesitating and dilly-dallying, Luo Jinyan simply said it for her, "You can't say it because you also know that whether it is Prince Mu's Palace, Prince Chu's Palace, or even Xie Chengyou himself, , will not agree to it.”
Shen Lingxiang remained silent, obviously Luo Jinyan got to the crux of the problem.
"You go back." Luo Jinyan said.
"Cousin?" Shen Lingxiang's watery eyes were wide open, full of prayer.
Luo Jinyan looked down at the girl kneeling on the ground and said indifferently: "Cousin Lingxiang, what did you do to Yaoyao before? You don't think we have forgotten it, do you?"
Shen Lingxiang trembled, "I know I was wrong, cousin, I..."
Luo Jinyan sneered, "So? Because you know you're wrong, you can just pretend that nothing happened?"
"Shake..."
Shen Lingxiang knew that she could not impress Luo Jinyan. She knew from the first time she met the young Luo Jinyan several years ago that this eldest cousin looked gentle and gentle, but those who didn't care about him had a heart as hard as a stone. .
He may not really have any feelings for Su Shi or Luo Mingxiang, let alone her.
Now she could only pray that Luo Junyao would still be as gentle to her as before.
Luo Junyao looked at Shen Lingxiang calmly, his bright eyes were as calm as hers, without the slightest hint of intolerance.
Shen Lingxiang's heart sank, and a feeling of despair came over him.
Shen Lingxiang was filled with panic. She didn't have much time.
Soon, the news will spread throughout Shangyong. No, maybe it has already begun to spread. Those people have a grudge against Xie Chengyou and will never keep secrets for them.
Just thinking about how those people talked about her, Shen Lingxiang couldn't help but tremble.
At this moment, Shen Lingxiang also felt a bit of hatred towards Xie Chengyou.
He actually only left a few words and left with Xie Yuan. He didn't even think about what kind of situation she would face when she returned to the Luo family!
What's even more sad is that at this point, she can only hold on to Xie Chengyou tightly.
Shen Lingxiang raised his head in despair and said, "Brother, what do you need to do to help me?"
A gentle smile appeared on Luo Jinyan's lips, seeming to be very satisfied with Shen Lingxiang's success.
That smile only left a chill in Shen Lingxiang's eyes.
Luo Jinyan said: "I want the identities of the people behind you and Xie Chengyou."
Shen Lingxiang said: "I, I don't know."
Luo Jinyan said: "Then go check it out."
Shen Lingxiang was stunned, and Luo Jinyan narrowed his eyes slightly and reminded: "For example, start from the person you met this morning."
Shen Lingxiang shrank under his indifferent gaze and whispered: "But, my matter..." Even if she is willing to check it, it will take time, but her matter cannot wait for time.
Luo Jinyan said: "Then we can only see if my cousin has anything else of value to give me."
Shen Lingxiang was silent, and Luo Jinyan was not in a hurry, sitting calmly with his eyes downcast.
Luo Junyao also leaned in his chair and looked at Shen Lingxiang. She had obviously changed her clothes after she came back, and there was nothing wrong that could be seen from the outside.
But at this moment, Luo Junyao was sitting while Shen Lingxiang was kneeling. As long as he lowered his head, he could see an ambiguous trace under her collar that she had specially pulled up.
Shen Lingxiang lowered his eyes and stared at the floor in front of him, but his eyelids kept trembling, obviously he was engaged in some fierce ideological struggle.
Luo Junyao understood that Shen Lingxiang did keep some secrets that could be exchanged.
Time passed little by little, and Luo Junyao and Luo Jinyan's expressions remained the same, and they could even chat a few words from time to time.
Shen Lingxiang's face became paler and paler. It was clear that the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, but a little sweat gradually broke out on her forehead.
"Young Master, Miss." Lan Yin, who had been sent out by Luo Jinyan before, reported at the door, "Mrs. Luo is here, saying she is here to see Miss Shen."
Luo Jinyan lowered his head and looked at Shen Lingxiang, "Maybe my cousin needs to go back and think about it again?"
Shen Lingxiang's body was a little shaky. When she heard that Mrs. Luo was coming, her expression changed again, and she looked at Luo Jinyan eagerly, "Big cousin!"
Luo Jinyan ignored her and said, "Please come in, aunt."
Lan Yin was about to respond when she heard Shen Lingxiang yell angrily: "Wait!"
Lan Yin looked at Luo Jinyan hesitantly, only to hear Shen Lingxiang say hurriedly: "I say! I can tell you everything I know, and you let my mother go back first!"
Luo Jinyan said: "Even if you say it, if I think it's worthless, I still won't help you."
Shen Lingxiang was finally unable to hold on and fell to the ground. He said miserably: "I know...how dare I expect my cousin to help me unconditionally."
Luo Jinyan said calmly: "If you had understood this truth earlier, you might not have to go to this step."
If Shen Lingxiang had understood earlier that the Luo family was not born to be kind to her, even if the Luo family was willing to raise their mother and daughter for nothing, they would not touch the bottom line of the Luo family.
If she had understood this truth earlier, maybe she could have married in glory as the niece of the Luo family.
The Luo family can raise idlers, but they cannot raise white-eyed wolves.
Shen Lingxiang lowered her eyes and said nothing. At this moment, she finally understood what it felt like to feel despair. No matter what Luo Jinyan said, she was unable to react.
Luo Jinyan said to Lan Yin: "Tell Mrs. Luo that I will have a few words with my cousin Yaoyoliu and ask her to go back first."
Lan Yin glanced at Shen Lingxiang on the ground with a strange look, nodded respectfully and left.
"Get up, sit down and talk." Luo Jinyan said.
Shen Lingxiang didn't dare to say anything and stood up with force.
After thinking for a moment, he lowered his head and took out something from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Luo Jinyan with both hands.
Luo Jinyan took it in his hand, took a look at it, and handed it to Luo Junyao, who was watching eagerly next to him. He asked, 'What does this mean?"
It was an old pendant, neither in terms of appearance nor material, anything special.
This kind of thing, when Luo Jinyan was choosing accessories for his sister, he wouldn't even look at it twice.
Shen Lingxiang whispered: "This... the man gave it to me. He said... as long as I show it to my mother, my mother will help me convince my grandmother to let me marry Mr. Xuan Yu."
Luo Junyao played with the old pendant and said, "In that case, why do you still come to me and my eldest brother?"
Shen Lingxiang looked at Luo Junyao and did not answer the question.
Luo Jinyan was more interested in another question, "Auntie promised to help you?"
"Answer, agreed." Shen Lingxiang whispered.
Luo Jinyan narrowed his eyes slightly, reached out and took the pendant back from Luo Junyao's hand, and looked at it carefully again, but still didn't see anything special.
Luo Junyao said: "Brother, there is no special mark or mechanism. This is just an ordinary pendant."
Since there is nothing special about this thing itself, it means that it has special meaning to some people.
Luo Junyao and Luo Jinyan looked at each other. Luo Jinyan turned his head and looked at Shen Lingxiang, "Do you think this is enough?"
