"You...do you know what you are talking about?" Mrs. Luo was stunned, her eyes widened and she said in disbelief.
Luo Jinyan lowered his eyes and said calmly: "It's just some money and property, and our Luo family doesn't lack this. It's also a good thing for Yao Yao Fengfeng to marry in a glorious way, and the reputation of the Luo family will be good."
Luo Jinyan also knew that talking about loving his sister and granddaughter would not make sense to Mrs. Luo, so she could only talk about the benefits that the Luo family could get.
Mrs. Luo didn't really have no feelings for her granddaughter. If Su had abused Luo Junyao over the years or Luo Junyao had been miserable, she would have stretched out her hand to help her.
But it is absolutely impossible for her to spend such a large amount of money to love her granddaughter.
Mrs. Luo pointed at Luo Jinyan and was speechless for a long time. Who doesn't want a good reputation? But a good reputation must be piled up with white money!
When she thought of the dowry list that she asked Mrs. Su to bring over to her, Mrs. Luo couldn't help but want to raise her hand to rub her heart.
Mrs. Su raised her eyes and advised: "Mother, Jin Yan is right. Our family is more generous when we marry in Shake Yao. Let outsiders know that our family is rich and loves our younger generation without caring about money. We will choose a wife for Jin Yan and Jin Xing in the future."
Son, those families with a good family background and who love their daughters can feel free to marry their girls into our family."
Unfortunately, these words were of no use to Mrs. Luo. She snorted coldly: "You are not the mother of Jin Yan and Jin Xing. Even if the Luo family is vacated, you don't care!"
"mother!"
"grandmother."
Mrs. Luo looked at her son and grandson who had no sympathy with her at all. She felt sad for a moment. She covered her heart and cried loudly, "What evil have I done?"
Luo Yun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Mother, my son said before that you are already old, so you just have to take care of yourself. If you are happy, let the children fulfill their filial piety in front of you. If you don't want to see
When it comes to them, that's it. My wife has to worry about other things, and my daughter-in-law, who is careful about her words and deeds, will also worry about it, so don't bother yourself."
Mrs. Luo choked up her cry and stared at Luo Yun: "You, what do you mean?"
Luo Yun sighed and said: "When you give birth to a son, your son should naturally be filial to you. If you have something to do in the future, just call your son around. But... your son is also a father, whether he is careful in his words or deeds.
Yao, Mingxiang, are all my children. Naturally, I have to think about them, and I ask for your understanding."
This is not the first time Luo Yun has said this to Mrs. Luo, but this is definitely the most serious time.
"you you……"
Luo Yun turned his head and said to Mrs. Su: "The dowry is still being prepared as usual. There is no need for my mother to take a look at it."
Su Shi hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Luo Yun's expression was solemn and did not seem to be out of temper, she nodded slightly.
Luo Yundao said: "You go and do your work first, I'll stay with my wife to talk."
Mrs. Su nodded, stood up and excused herself to Mrs. Luo.
Luo Jinyan frowned slightly, Su shook her head at him, and the two of them turned around and went out together.
Although Luo Jinyan is smart and decisive, he is still a grandson. As his own son, Luo Yun can easily say some things, but Luo Jinyan, a grandson, cannot say it casually.
In the courtyard outside, the maids and ladies of Rongle Hall were standing quietly.
They also heard the angry voice of the old lady inside just now. They knew that the madam and the eldest son might not be in a good mood at this time, and no one dared to come over to touch this bad luck.
Luo Jinyan glanced at them, his cold eyes making many people lower their heads involuntarily.
Luo Jinyan quickly withdrew his eyes and said lightly: "Rong Le Hall does not need people who talk too much. If anyone talks in front of the old lady again in the future, I will chop her alive."
This was said without any anger, but a woman in the crowd was shocked. She suddenly raised her head and met Luo Jinyan's indifferent eyes.
The mother-in-law couldn't help but tremble all over, her feet softened and she knelt on the ground with a plop, "Old, eldest son, it's not...it's not me, I didn't say anything."
The others couldn't help but quietly move away from her. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
Luo Jinyan didn't speak, but just waved his hand to the side.
Luo Yi and Luo Er stepped forward and picked up the woman on the left and right. Seeing that something was not going well, the woman wanted to shout for help.
Luo Yi's attack was very swift and swift, and he slashed the back of her neck with a knife. The woman passed out without even making a sound.
"Pull it down." Luo Jinyan said indifferently.
Seeing Luo Yi and Luo San dragging the person away, Luo Jinyan said nothing more and just turned sideways and said to Su: "Mother, please."
Mrs. Su nodded and walked out of the gate of Rongle Hall first.
Behind them, all the maids and women in the Rongle Hall were trembling with fear and their faces turned pale.
How could they not know that the eldest son was trying to scare the monkeys to warn them.
After leaving Rongle Hall, Luo Jinyan bowed respectfully to Mrs. Su.
Su Shi naturally understood what he meant, shook her head and said: "The old lady is old, so it is inevitable that she will have some... She actually doesn't have any sinister thoughts. Don't tell Jun Yao about this."
Luo Jinyan said: "Thank you for your hard work, mother."
Su smiled and said: "The Luo family gave me and Xiang'er a place to stay when I was in the most difficult time. After so many years, why is it not hard work? If you really don't want me to work hard, you should marry a capable man earlier.
My wife is back."
Luo Jinyan rarely felt helpless, "Let's just let things happen like this, but now I have to continue to work hard for my mother."
Su Shi was a little surprised. She looked Luo Jinyan around and advised him: "If there is any girl you like in your heart, just tell me. Our Luo family doesn't have to worry about family background and status. I also believe that you have your own sense of proportion. You and me
If you think it's appropriate to act differently, the general and I will have no objections."
Luo Jinyan nodded in agreement, but did not say whether he had someone he liked.
After saying goodbye to the Su family, Luo Jinyan went to Nuanxinyuan again. Luo Junyao was sitting at the table, writing and drawing with a serious look on his face. He didn't know what he was busy with.
Luo Jinyan only glanced at the door, smiled lightly, and turned away without interrupting.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shen Lingxiang waited for two days but did not receive a reply from Luo Jinyan. Not only was there no reply, but the person who was inserted by Luo Jinyan to deliver the message for her also disappeared.
Shen Lingxiang originally wanted to wait, but after waiting for two days and there was no news, he gradually became unable to sit still.
She only has one Luo family to rely on now. If even the Luo family completely gives up on her, then she really has no hope in this life.
In desperation, she could only find an excuse to go back to Luo's house to see her mother, and hurried back to Luo's house.
Today, Shen Lingxiang is no longer the beloved cousin of the Luo family. No one cares whether she comes back or not. When she reaches the door, she can only wait for the concierge to go in and report to the Su family. With Su's permission, she was introduced into the Luo family through a side door. Mansion.
Seeing the steward of the Luo family walking in front of him with a businesslike attitude, Shen Lingxiang felt desolate in his heart.
"This...I, this is not my mother's residence." Shen Lingxiang stood outside the closed door and turned to look at the steward who ushered her in.
The steward said calmly: "My cousin, I don't know something. Mrs. Shen accompanied the old lady to a courtyard outside the city to relax yesterday."
"Then here..." Shen Lingxiang's heart skipped a beat, and the steward smiled and said, "Of course it's the eldest young master. If my cousin doesn't want to see the young master, I can just send the girl out."
Shen Lingxiang said nothing more. Of course she didn't really come back to visit her mother, so how could she really not go to see Luo Jinyan?
He stretched out his hand to open the door and saw Luo Jinyan sitting inside, writing quickly.
When he heard the door open, he just raised his head and glanced at her lightly, without saying anything else.
Shen Lingxiang closed the door with his backhand and stood there feeling a little embarrassed.
I don't know how long it took, but Shen Lingxiang finally couldn't help it and said in a trembling voice: "Big...big cousin..."
Luo Jinyan didn't even raise his head, but simply asked: "Have you figured it out?"
Shen Lingxiang's smile was a little stiff and he whispered: "I...I thought we had already negotiated before I got married."
Luo Jinyan sneered and said calmly: "So, less than a month has passed and you dare to play tricks on me again?"
Shen Lingxiang's heart skipped a beat and he said quickly: "I don't understand what your cousin means. I have done everything you asked me."
"Did you do it?" Luo Jinyan put down his pen and nodded calmly: "You did do everything I asked you to do, but... you also did what I didn't ask you to do."
Shen Lingxiang shook his head and said, "I didn't! Cousin, you...you misunderstood me!"
Luo Jinyan didn't want to hear her explanation and said calmly: "Two days before the regent proposed marriage to the Luo family, someone came to see you, but... you didn't tell me."
Shen Lingxiang's face turned pale and he said, "I didn't say anything, and I didn't...promise them anything."
Luo Jinyan nodded, "Because you are not sure what they can give you, and you are even less sure whether they are opponents of the Luo family and the Regent's Palace. It's not that you don't want to, but you don't dare. You even think you can take this matter. Are you using me as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with me? Tell me, what are they doing to come to you?"
Facing his eyes that seemed to see through everything, Shen Lingxiang couldn't help but take two steps back and leaned against the door. Having support behind her made her feel a little more secure.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Lingxiang said in a hoarse voice: "They, they told me that Yaoyao... might marry into the Regent's Palace, and asked me... to find a way to destroy this marriage. I... I didn't really believe it at the time..."
This news was more like a ridiculous joke to her. Her first reaction at the time was that it was impossible! However... reality hit her hard in the face.
Fortunately, she didn't agree to anything rashly at that time. She didn't expect that the regent would act so quickly. In the blink of an eye, the marriage was arranged and she and Xie Chengyou were kicked out of the regent's palace.
In fact, even if she agreed at the time, she probably wouldn't have had time to do anything.
Luo Jinyan snorted softly and said: "Since you dare to negotiate a deal with me, you must still have some chips in your hands. Let's talk about it."
Shen Lingxiang moved the corners of his lips but did not utter a word. Luo Jinyan looked indifferent, with a bit of hateful condescension, "I don't want to hear you negotiate terms, Ling Xiang... you don't have as many chips as you think." .”
Shen Lingxiang felt weak in his heart and gritted his teeth: "Cousin, are you really so cruel?! Do you have to force me to have no way out?"
Luo Jinyan said: "What did you do to Shake Yao? Do you need me to remind you? My previous promise is still valid. I can guarantee that you will become Xie Chengyou's wife or escape unscathed. But... you can only take what I give you. I If not, you'd better not reach out. Otherwise... Ling Xiang, next time, don't blame your cousin for chopping off your hand."
Shen Lingxiang couldn't help trembling, and asked with trembling lips: "Why should I believe you?"
Luo Jinyan said: "You can turn around and go out. You don't have to come back again."
Shen Lingxiang closed his eyes and finally turned around and left.
She looked at the young man in front of her who lowered his head to write again, his eyes changing, and it was obvious that he was also struggling fiercely in his heart.
Luo Jinyan ignored her and looked calm, as if her decision was of no importance to him.
The study was quiet, but time was passing by.
After a long time, Shen Lingxiang's hoarse voice sounded in the study again.
This time her voice was full of desolation and exhaustion, "I found that person when I went shopping a few days ago. She was a woman. Although... I didn't see her appearance clearly, but... she shouldn't be from the Qi tribe. "
Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you say that?"
Shen Lingxiang said: "Because... I smelled the incense on her body, which is the smell of Jinhua incense that is only found in the palace. My cousin may also know that I have quite a lot of research on these... I will never smell it. Wrong, that person definitely came from the palace."
Jinhua incense is not a spice used directly on people, but a kind of incense placed in an incense burner.
Only if you stay in that environment for a long time can you get that kind of fragrance.
One tael of Jinhua incense is worth hundreds of taels, and ordinary women of powerful families are not qualified to use it at will.
