Not counting everyone in the Su family, the four members of the Xiao family who walked out of the Su Mansion after bidding farewell to the Su family were not in a good mood or look. After getting on the carriage, the atmosphere was still a little solemn.
Mr. Xiao looked at his second son with an indifferent expression. Mrs. Xiao looked at her husband and then at her younger son. Finally, she could only sigh and look at her eldest son for help.
Xiao Chan smiled helplessly in his heart, and had no choice but to say: "Father, the matter with the Su family is finished, will you and your mother visit your old hometown in the capital tomorrow?"
Mr. Xiao snorted coldly and said: "How can I have the dignity to visit my old friend? Tomorrow your mother and I will take him back to Yangxin and pretend that we have never been to Shangyong!"
Mrs. Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, wouldn't this be bad?"
Although Xiao Hong is the only one in the Xiao family who is an official in the court, there are still many relatives and friends. It is rare for them to come here, so it would be rude not to visit them.
Mr. Xiao said: "It doesn't matter. Ah Cheng will come and apologize to us later. I think everyone will understand."
It is indeed understandable, after all, such a shameful thing happened to the Xiao family, and no one would blame the Xiao family for such a trivial matter.
Thinking of this, Mr. Xiao's face became even more ugly, and he glared at his second son fiercely.
If he could, he really wanted to kill this evil obstacle!
Xiao Chen also had a headache, but he couldn't say much in front of Xiao Hong. He just wanted to discuss it with his parents in private after returning to the Xiao family's residence in Shangyong.
Xiao Hong sat in the carriage with his head lowered and said nothing, as if he had not heard the conversation between his parents.
No one could see his downcast eyes, the surging resentment and hatred.
Luo Junyao heard the news that Su Rui and the Xiao family had broken off their engagement, and immediately returned to the Luo Mansion.
Luo Mingxiang had already returned to Uncle Chun'an's Mansion. Mrs. Su was in a very good mood because her daughter was pregnant. Seeing Luo Junyao come in, she quickly waved to her and said with a smile: "Yaoyao is back, come and sit down quickly."
Luo Junyao sat down next to Su, looked at the busy things in Su's hands and asked curiously: "Is mother preparing something for the baby?"
Su smiled and said: "No, there are still things your eldest sister needs during pregnancy. Although Chun'an's house is not short of these, I always have to prepare something with my own hands so that I can rest assured."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Mrs. Chun'an and his wife are also very kind to my eldest sister. Mother doesn't have to worry."
Su smiled and said: "Indeed, there are many people in Chun'an Bo's house, so I'm not worried about your eldest sister. But you..."
Luo Junyao's heart skipped a beat, and he sighed to himself that he shouldn't have come to his mother's place to kill time just because his eldest brother was not at home, "What's wrong with me?"
Su sighed and said: "There are no elder female relatives in the Regent's Palace. Although it is more comfortable, if you really need something, no one will help you. If anything happens in the future, just send someone back to let you know. Don't be embarrassed.
No matter how kind the regent is to you, he is a man after all, and there will always be things you can't think of."
"Oh." Luo Junyao nodded repeatedly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that children would be great, she doesn't want to have children now.
Su glanced sideways at her, "Don't take it to heart, you have been married to the regent for some time. If you look back..."
"Ahem." Luo Jun shook his eyes and quickly interrupted Su's words, "Did that mother, brother...have you ever told you anything?"
Su Shi didn't know that she was changing the subject, so she followed her advice and smiled: "Your elder brother didn't say anything to me, but the general told me something."
"ah?"
Su Shi chuckled: "Jinyan is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? The girl from the Su family has just broken off the engagement, so it would be a bit embarrassing for us to come to propose marriage. At least we have to wait until the Su family officially announces the matter. I
We also need to inquire with Mrs. Su about the Su family’s thoughts first, it’s not good to have wishful thinking.”
Speaking of this, Su Shi thought for a moment and said, "The Su family shouldn't look down on Jin Yan, right?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said: It's hard to say whether the Su family can like the eldest brother, but it's possible that Sister Su doesn't like the eldest brother.
"It seems that I have to help you, big brother." Luo Junyao said.
Su said: "Don't be ridiculous. Don't rush to visit us these two days. Let's talk in a few days. Do you understand? It's only natural that we wait until the Su family announces the news before we visit again."
Luo Junyao nodded obediently, "Don't worry, mother, I will only ask and say a few nice words to my eldest brother privately, and I won't let others know."
Mrs. Su nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Shao Yao is really sensible. Since Jin Yan doesn't have to worry about me, it's time to worry about Jin Yan's marriage. But it's best to wait until Jin Yan's marriage is settled.
Look at each other and act with caution."
Originally, she thought that if Jinyan couldn't decide for a while, it wouldn't hurt to decide on Jinxing first. But now that Jinyan has someone he likes, it's naturally the best thing.
This is not to show favoritism to anyone, as the eldest daughter-in-law is a clan wife and needs to be cautious. This world also pays attention to the order of elders and younger ones, so it is naturally best if the elder brother gets married first.
Luo Junyao said: "Thank you for your hard work, mother. I'll go back and ask my second brother what kind of girl he likes. I'll watch it with my mother!"
While Luo Junyao was chatting with Su, Luo Jinyan was not idle either.
Luo Jinyan is now one of the chief generals of the Armed Guards. Now that the Armed Guards are being reorganized, they have a lot of official duties every day. Besides official duties, Luo Jinyan also has a lot of private matters.
In the evening, Luo Jinyan came back from outside the city. Luo Yi and Luo Er, who rode beside him, reported to him what happened in the city that day as they walked.
"At noon, the Xiao family came to discuss the engagement with the Su family. All the powerful people in the city must have known about it by now. The two families should announce it to the public tomorrow," Luo Yi said quickly.
Luo Jinyan nodded slightly and said, "How is Xiao Hong?"
Luo Erdao: "I was brought back to Xiao Chen's mansion in the capital by the Xiao family. There was no movement."
Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Keep staring. No matter what he does, he can't relax, even if he is eating or sleeping."

Luo Jinyan said: "They won't leave immediately."
Luo Er said: "But... the Xiao family seems to be preparing to leave. It is said that it will be either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Such a fastidious family like the Xiao family has lost such a big face all of a sudden. It is no wonder that Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao don't want to stay in Shangyong.
Luo Jinyan glanced at him sideways and said, "You might as well see if they can leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Keep an eye on them. If there is any negligence..."
"Yes, Young Master." Luo Er always believed in Luo Jinyan's judgment. Since Young Master said so, they naturally had no choice but to obey.
"Has the whereabouts of Khenpo La been found?" Luo Jinyan continued to ask.
Luo Daodao said: "Back to the young master, the Regent's Palace sent someone to deliver the news, saying that Khenbu La is now living in a private residence in Beicheng. The house is listed on the Yamen deed as a Central Plains person, and Khenbu La has been living in seclusion, so he did not go out.
People have noticed. Should we send someone to arrest them?”
Luo Jinyan glanced back at him and asked, "What are you arresting? What crime has he committed?"
Luo Yi was speechless. Selling a few poisonous insects to Xiao Hong didn't seem to be a crime. Xiao Hong didn't even use those things to harm anyone.
"Send someone to deliver a message. I will visit you tomorrow afternoon," Luo Jinyan said.
"yes."
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the gate of Luo Mansion.
When he dismounted, Luo Jinyan asked, "What else can I do?"
Luo Daodao said: "Also, Taifu Su said that he would like to invite the young master to tea."
Luo Jinyan stood next to the horse, his hand still holding the reins paused, and he looked back at Luo Yi, "When?"
"Tomorrow afternoon." Luo Yiyi felt a bit cold on his neck.
Luo Jinyan was silent for a moment and said, "Change the time to see Khenbura to the morning of the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, sir."
In the Su family on the other side of the capital, the eldest son of the Su family stood respectfully in front of his father. After looking at his father's expression, he said cautiously: "Father, over there with the Luo family... what do you think?"
Old Mrs. Su said calmly: "What do you think of? I am an old man who has nothing to do and invites someone to have a cup of tea. What can I think of?"
"..." Mr. Su was speechless. Father, would you please come up with a justifiable reason to fool your son? Ari has just broken off the engagement, so please invite the eldest son of the Luo family to tea...
Old Taifu Su said: "You just think too much and have not made any progress in your knowledge for so many years."
Mr. Su asked: "Does it really have nothing to do with Ari?"
Old Taifu Su said: "Not now. Can't you tell what your daughter is thinking?"
Mr. Su sighed and said, "It's just that I can see it, so my son is worried." He naturally loves his daughter, and he is not unaware of her rejection of marriage. But what can he do?
Even if he is willing to keep his daughter at home for the rest of his life, will his daughter really not regret those rumors in the future?
It was fine when she and her husband were alive. But if her elders are gone in the future, who can guarantee that her brother and sister-in-law will treat her well? Even if their brother-sister-in-law and sister-in-law have a good relationship, what about the next generation? The nephews and nieces who are growing up are happy to see an old man.
Has aunt always stayed at home?
Seeing his son's sad face, Mrs. Su said with disdain: "Okay, don't worry about Ari's matter, I know it well."
Mr. Su looked at his father apologetically and said, "Father, what do you think?"
Old Mrs. Su didn't answer, but waved her hand to indicate that he could leave.
Mr. Su didn't care either. He really didn't know what to do except worry. Since his father said this, he must have already had an idea. His father always loves A Rui and A Xun the most and will definitely plan for his daughter.
Thinking of this, Mr. Su felt a little guilty.
This should have been his responsibility, but he threw it all on his old father, who was over seventy years old.
Mr. Su bowed deeply to his father respectfully and retreated silently.
