In the afternoon, as soon as Luo Junyao arrived home, he heard that there was another commotion in Rongle Hall, because Miss Shen wanted to marry Mr. Xuan Yu as a concubine. The general and his wife asked Mr. Luo and Shen Lingxiang to move out of the Luo Mansion to get married, but the old lady refused.
Luo Junyao couldn't help but be curious as he walked towards Rongle Hall.
Is Shen Lingxiang's marriage finalized just like that?
How could someone as arrogant as her agree to be Xie Chengyou's concubine?
"Did my cousin personally agree?" Shen Lingxiang asked.
Lan Yin whispered: "I heard that Miss Shen was a little unhappy at first, but after Mr. Xuan Yu persuaded her for a few words, she was willing. Many people secretly said that Miss Shen probably just wanted to get Qiao, but she was still willing. Otherwise, what could happen? I agreed after just a few words of advice."
In fact, there are even more unpleasant things to say about Shen Lingxiang and Xie Chengyou in private, but those words are not easy to say to a girl, and they only taint her ears.
The young Lan Zhen murmured in a low voice: "She is hooking up with Mr. Xuan Yu in private. Who else can she marry if she doesn't marry him?"
Lan Zhen and Lan Yin had not been with Luo Junyao for a long time, and they had not been allowed to reuse them before.
They actually didn't know much about Shen Lingxiang and Xie Chengyou's private plans against Luo Junyao. They just knew that the girl's unwillingness to serve him before was because Shen Lingxiang's mother and daughter were instigating them.
But during this period of time following Luo Junyao, I occasionally heard about it.
The two girls are not stupid, so they gradually understood.
The girl is so nice to her cousin, but the cousin secretly hooks up with the man she likes. How shameless!
After Luo Junyao thought about it, he understood a little more. He was afraid that before Shen Lingxiang had time to think of a way to get Xie Chengyou to agree to marry her, Xie Chengyou would directly take the initiative and come to ask Shen Lingxiang to be his concubine.
Shen Lingxiang could naturally refuse, but because of yesterday's incident, she lost first.
As long as Xie Chengyou is more ruthless, Shen Lingxiang has no choice.
If the matter really breaks out, although Xie Chengyou has a bad reputation and it will be difficult to marry a truly noble girl in the future, it will be a disaster for Shen Lingxiang.
Yesterday, Luo Junyao was not optimistic about Shen Lingxiang's idea that he could convince Xie Chengyou.
Time waits for no one. Shen Lingxiang made a stupid move first and was caught. What she lacks most is time.
Before I even entered Rongle Hall, I heard noisy sounds inside, including quarreling, crying, and persuading voices. It was like a noisy vegetable market.
Luo Junyao stopped the girl who wanted to go in to report, and stepped into the lobby.
"Second brother, what are you talking about? I heard your voice outside!" Although the Rongle Hall was very noisy, Luo Jinxing's voice was still uniquely loud.
The originally noisy hall was quiet for a moment, and Mrs. Luo pointed at Luo Junyao and said to Luo Yun: "I know Xiang'er's mother is not your biological sister, and you love Jun girl. But they have also called you big brother for so many years. Uncle, why are you so cruel!"
Luo Junyao blinked, "Grandma, what are you talking about? Daddy made you angry?"
Mrs. Luo choked, seeming to remember something, and held back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Luo Junyao didn't care about her expression. He walked to Luo Yun and then looked at Mrs. Luo and said with a smile, "Aunt, what's going on? If there is any lack of care in our family, just talk about it. Why bother to alarm grandma?"
Madam Luo didn't expect Luo Junyao to fire directly at her as soon as he came in. She was a little at a loss for a moment, "This... I didn't, Yao Yao, listen to me..."
Luo Junyao had always been annoyed by Mrs. Luo who had to take seven or eight breaths to finish a sentence, and it was difficult for the original owner to endure her for so many years with such a short temper.
Not only Luo Junyao, but also Luo Jinxing next to him couldn't bear it and said: "What do you have? Didn't you complain to your grandmother that your mother was going to kick you and your daughter out? It was your father who said this in front of everyone. Why did you do so in front of your grandmother?" Are you mentioning mother alone? My grandmother scolded my mother just now, but I didn’t see you explaining anything."
Luo Jinxing had always believed that a person should be upright and aboveboard, and he looked down upon Luo's behavior.
If she had complained openly and openly that her father wanted to drive them away, he might not have been so angry.
"Kick her out?" Luo Junyao was puzzled, "Didn't you tell me to let my cousin go home to get married?"
Luo Junyao looked at Mrs. Luo with a smile, "Grandma, my cousin is named Shen after all. If the Shen family doesn't have a house, that's fine. Our family can also allocate a house for my cousin to get married. But since my cousin's family has a house, from now on When a relative gets married, what do outsiders think of my cousin?"
"Shao Yao?" Mrs. Luo looked at Luo Junyao with sad eyes, as if Luo Junyao had done something ungrateful.
Mrs. Luo was also made uncomfortable by Luo Junyao's words.
In fact, Su Shi also said this, but even if Su Shi and Luo Junyao were not liked by Mrs. Luo, their words still sounded different to Mrs. Luo's ears.
When Su said this, Mrs. Luo would only think that Su just wanted to instigate Luo Yun to drive Luo and Shen Lingxiang out.
When Luo Junyao said this, Mrs. Luo still had to think about it. Although after thinking about it, her first reaction was that Luo Junyao was deliberately angry with her.
Mrs. Luo pointed at Mr. Luo and said, "What do you, a little girl, know?!"
Luo Junyao whispered: "I don't understand anything, but doesn't my cousin understand either? Cousin, do you think the girl's family should be in her own family?"
Shen Lingxiang glanced at Luo Junyao, but there was not much resentment in his eyes.
It's not that she doesn't want to marry from the Luo family, but the thought of marrying Xie Chengyou as a concubine is a huge blow to her.
In comparison, not being able to marry from the Luo family seems not a big deal. Anyway, the Luo family will definitely not care about her in the future, and she believes that Xie Chengyou knows it well.
Even if she gets married in the Luo family, can the Luo family still let her go out through the front door beating gongs and drums?
Shen Lingxiang was a little disappointed at first, but after Mr. Luo and Mrs. Luo broke up, she had no energy left.
After a long time, Shen Lingxiang said quietly: "Shao Yao is right."
"You girl!" Mrs. Luo glared at Shen Lingxiang when she heard this, feeling that all her hard work was in vain.
Shen Lingxiang's smile was a little bitter, and he kowtowed three times to Mrs. Luo respectfully, and said: "Lingxiang knows that grandma cares about me. Lingxiang has embarrassed grandma and uncle by failing to live up to expectations. The eldest sister is getting married in a few days. , it’s not good to worry about something like this for me, my mother and I will move out tomorrow.”
"Xiang'er..."
"Mom, stop talking." Shen Lingxiang said, then turned around and kowtowed to Luo Yun and Su Shi, and said: "Lingxiang is ignorant and has caused trouble for his uncle and aunt."
"..." Everyone was a little silent.
Luo Junyao looked at Luo Jinyan who was sitting aside: The blow was too great. Is Shen Lingxiang broken by the stimulation?
Luo Jinyan looked calm and didn't feel weird like others.
Mrs. Luo just felt that she had worked so hard to feed the dog, and she said angrily: "That's it, I, an old woman, have worried about it for nothing. You can go."
"Mother..." Luo Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw the old lady twisting her body and leaning on the soft pillow, covering her face as if she was very sad.
Mrs. Luo snorted softly, "You can leave too."
Luo Yun was helpless and was about to say something when the butler outside the door hurried in and reported: "General, someone is coming from the palace."
Luo Yun was startled when he heard this, "Is there someone coming from the palace?"
Now that the little emperor is only seven years old, he will naturally not send anyone to the Luo family. The people in the palace are either the Empress Dowager or the Queen Mother's people.
The housekeeper glanced at Luo Junyao and said in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager has been feeling better in the past two days. She said that the palace was deserted and wanted to have more young girls lively. Therefore, she wanted to invite some noble ladies from the imperial city to play in the palace.
, our second girl is one of them."
Luo Yun frowned slightly and asked: "The person who delivered the order has left?"
The housekeeper shook his head and said, "Not really. I'm just waiting for the general and his wife to reply."
Although he said that he was waiting for a reply, unless there was really some serious reason for the summons from the Empress Dowager, he would not be able to refuse at will.
Luo Yun glanced at Luo Junyao and saw a bit of curiosity and doubt in her eyes.
Su whispered: "General, the messenger from the palace is still waiting."
Luo Yun nodded, "That's alright. My son will retire first, and my mother will have a good rest. You take good care of the old lady."
After saying this, Luo Yun led everyone to bow to Mrs. Luo and leave, without noticing that Mrs. Luo was angry.
The group left Rongle Hall, Luo Yun and Su Shi went to see the messenger from the palace, and Shen Lingxiang mother and daughter returned to Yuziyuan sadly.
Luo Mingxiang invited Luo Junyao to have dinner in his courtyard. Luo Junyao thought that he still had something to ask Luo Jinyan, so he had to decline.
After Luo Mingxiang also left with his people, only the third brother and sister Luo Junyao was left and asked: "Brother, is my cousin really going to marry Xie Chengyou?"
Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows and said, "We will be passing through in three days, what do you think?"
Luo Junyao shrugged and said, "Well, I'm just not used to it. She gave in so easily..." Although she didn't actually have much contact with Shen Lingxiang, she could feel what Shen Lingxiang was from her original memory.
Such a person.
In fact, if Shen Lingxiang had always been Luo Junyao's good cousin, even though the top family background would not suit her, it would not be difficult to marry into a first-class wealthy family and become the daughter-in-law of the second daughter-in-law, or to become a clan daughter-in-law of a lower class family.
But what she took a fancy to at first sight was Xie Chengyou, the eldest grandson of King Mu and the eldest son of the Prince Regent. For this reason, she even risked falling out with the Luo family on which she relied for survival to plot against Luo Junyao.
And now it has overturned and lived up to expectations.
If Shen Lingxiang can make such a determination, even if he really has feelings for Xie Chengyou, he will never just want to be a concubine.
Luo Jinyan said calmly: "Now that the matter has come to this, she can't help but not want to."
Luo Junyao tilted his head and stared at Luo Jinyan, who looked down at her and said with a smile: "What are you looking at?"
Luo Jinyan whispered: "Why do I think, brother, you really want your cousin to marry Xie Chengyou?"
Hearing this, Luo Jinxing also remembered what happened before and immediately looked at his elder brother.
He also signaled to him with his eyes that he must give himself an explanation.
Luo Jinyan chuckled and said, "It's nothing, I just think...cousin Lingxiang is cruel enough. Marrying Xie Chengyou may bring you unexpected gains."
"..." Luo Jinxing looked confused.
"..." Luo Junyao's expression changed. In an instant, he imagined countless scenes of falling in love and killing each other in his mind.
Luo Jinyan raised his hand and knocked her on the head, "Okay, stop thinking about what you have and what you don't have, and go back quickly."
Luo Junyao immediately shook his head, "No! Brother, have you captured him? You haven't told me the result yet."
Luo Jinyan said: "I think you should be more worried about entering the palace tomorrow."
Luo Junyao didn't care, "What's there to worry about? Aren't you just going to see the Empress Dowager? It's not like you haven't been there before." She hadn't been there, but the original owner had been.
Luo Jinyan sighed, "I thought you had become smarter, but you are still a stupid girl. Why don't you think about it... The Empress Dowager is so ill, why do you summon a noble lady to see her at this time?"
"Entering the palace to attend to illness?" Luo Junyao asked.
Luo Jinyan sighed, "Just take it as such."
"..." You have said so, how can I still not know that it is not the case?
