On the other side of the Luo Mansion, Luo Junyao, who had returned from the palace, had not fallen asleep yet.
Carrying the sobering soup, I walked outside Luo Yun's study and happened to see Mrs. Luo who was stopped outside by the guards.
"Aunt, what are you doing here so late?" Luo Junyao asked aloud.
His eyes fell on Mrs. Luo's hand. She was also holding a plain porcelain cup, which was probably for sobering up soup.
Mrs. Luo saw a moment of panic and surprise flash through Luo Junyao's eyes, "Yaoyao? What are you..."
Luo Junyao moved the things in his hand forward and said with a smile: "Mom said that dad drank a lot of wine tonight, but still stayed up late in the study, so she asked me to bring some sobering soup."
Of course, Mrs. Su didn't ask her to deliver the soup, but she took the job of delivering the soup herself.
Mr. Luo tried his best to smile and said: "So that's it. Yaoyao is really filial and sensible."
Luo Junyao looked at her doubtfully, and Mrs. Luo quickly said: "I also heard from Xiang'er that my eldest brother drank a lot of wine, so I thought of sending some sobering soup over. I didn't want to..." The guards outside Luo Yun's study refused to let her go at all.
When I went in, I didn't even give a warning.
Luo Junyao looked back at the two guards, "Is dad busy?"
The guard said respectfully, "The general is dealing with some trivial matters, please come in, girl."
Luo Junyao smiled sweetly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Then he smiled at Mrs. Luo and said, "Thank you for your hard work, aunt. I already have a share here. Aunt, please go back and rest early."
Naturally, Mrs. Luo couldn't say anything, so she turned around and went back.
When Luo Junyao entered the study, Luo Yun was sitting behind the desk reading. Apparently, he didn't have any trivial matters to deal with.
"Dad, why don't you rest up so late?"
Luo Yun put down the book, looked at his daughter who walked in with a loving expression and said with a smile: "I suddenly felt free after returning to Beijing, and I don't feel sleepy anymore. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Luo Junyao smiled and placed the sobering soup in front of Luo Yun and said, "Mother asked someone to deliver the sobering soup to dad. I specially stole this job from others."
Luo Yun smiled and patted his daughter's little head, picked up the hangover soup and took a sip before saying, "Is there something you want to tell daddy?"
Luo Junyao said: "I specially brought soup to dad, and I wanted to tell dad something by the way."
Luo Yun smiled and said: "Okay, by the way. Let's talk, daddy listen."
Luo Junyao told Luo Yun exactly what happened at Chenyou Palace that night.
The situation in the court was complicated and ever-changing. No matter how much she liked Xie Yan or what kind of friendship they had, she always remembered that she was from the Luo family.
These things will never be hidden from Luo Yun.
Xie Yan didn't say much at the time, so he probably couldn't guess what she would do.
After listening to Luo Junyao's words, even Luo Yun was speechless for a while.
Luo Junyao was a little worried, "Dad, is this troublesome?"
Luo Yun came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head and said: "It's nothing serious, don't worry."
"Really?" Luo Junyao was a little unconvinced, "It was obvious that someone wanted to lure me there tonight. If it didn't work the first time, a second arrangement was immediately made."
Luo Yundao said: "Since there is no big fuss, it will be fine. The most I can do is tell the Queen Mother that you were in Chenyou Palace at that time."
"Wouldn't this get you into trouble?"
Luo Yun rubbed her little head and smiled a little carelessly, "What trouble can there be? If the Queen Mother really wants Xie Yan to separate from His Majesty, it will be a big trouble. Our Luo family...compared with Xie Yan's situation,
much better."
The Luo family is isolated from all parties. No one will really want to offend Luo Yun until the decisive battle.
Luo Junyao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I've been worried about getting dad into trouble."
Luo Yun smiled and said: "Even if there is really trouble, dad can solve it. Yao Yao doesn't have to worry about anything. Yao Yao did a good job tonight and brought a lot of face to dad! When he left the palace, Lu Guogong was still with dad.
He said that if he gave birth to a son, it would be better for our family to make a living."
Of course Luo Junyao knew that Luo Yun was comforting her and making her happy, so he cooperated and laughed and acted coquettishly with Luo Yun.
There was cheerful laughter in the study late at night, and the guards guarding outside the study couldn't help but smile.
They are all the confidants who follow the general, so they naturally know how much the general worries about his girl.
Now it seems that my girl is well-behaved and sensible, and the general must be much more comfortable.
There was no need to go to the academy for a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I slept too late the night before and was not woken up until Luo Junyao at sunrise the next day.
"Girl, wake up!" Lan Yin anxiously shook Luo Junyao, who was sitting on the bed looking like he was in a daze.
Luo Jun shook his head, which was still a little dizzy, and looked at Lan Yin with empty eyes, "What's the matter? Didn't you say you won't have breakfast today?"
She came back from the palace very late last night, and she went to the study to talk to her father for a long time. She still had some insomnia and didn't fall asleep until the second watch.
Lan Yin was also helpless, but had to stop Luo Junyao's intention to continue sleeping, "The old lady is coming soon. Madam asked you to pack up quickly and prepare to welcome the old lady back home."
Luo Junyao sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then responded a little dullly: "Oh, why so early?"
Lan Yin shook her head, "I heard that the old lady wanted to come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it was too late. She left the capital not far last night."
When Luo Jun got up and washed and dressed up, the girl from the outer courtyard came to report that the old lady had entered the city and asked the second girl to meet the old lady at the gate of the house.
When Luo Junyao took Lan Yin Lanzhen to the gate, Luo Yun and Su Shi were already waiting at the gate with others.
The Luo family is not large, and none of them has two or three bedrooms. Apart from their family of six, there are only two mothers and daughters, Luo and Shen Lingxiang.
All in all, there are less than ten masters in the entire mansion.
The whole family was waiting at the gate, and soon they saw a group of people coming slowly from a distance. The carriage at the front hung the emblem of the Luo family.
The carriage slowly stopped at the gate, and Luo Yun hurried forward to greet her and said respectfully: "Son, I would like to welcome my mother back. You have worked hard all the way."
The two girls got out of the carriage and carefully helped Mrs. Luo out.
Luo Yun also hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help Mrs. Luo get out of the car.
Mrs. Luo is already seventy-two this year, and she is truly old at this age.
She was born in a rural area and suffered a lot when she was young. She had not been able to support her previous children, and she only had one biological son, Luo Yun.
Even though I have been pampered all these years, I can still see the ups and downs I have experienced.
But because she was born in a rural area, she is actually in good health. Otherwise, the Su family would not dare to let her go all the way back to her hometown to worship her ancestors and pray for blessings at such a young age.
She has white hair and wrinkles on her face, perhaps because she has always been angry with others. The corners of her mouth are always slightly drooped, making her look a bit unapproachable.
Seeing her son, her expression softened a little, and she stretched out her hand to let Luo Yun support her, saying: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back. You don't know that you have been fighting outside all these years, and my mother can't eat well or sleep well."
I can’t sleep well. You won’t go out in the future, will you?”
Luo Yundao said: "Mother is worried, I will stay in Shangyong for a while when I come back this time."
Mrs. Luo said happily: "That's good."
After talking to his son, he looked at the others again.
Everyone stepped forward to say hello to the old lady. Madam Luo glanced across Su's face and stretched out her hand to Luo Jinyan, "Be careful in your words and actions. Come here and let grandma take a look."
The Luo Jinyan brothers came forward and called their grandmother. Mrs. Luo was obviously very happy.
He asked Luo and Shen Lingxiang again, and then Luo Junyao. As for Luo Mingxiang, he just ignored them.
Luo Junyao stood beside Luo Mingxiang, quietly reaching out and holding her hand.
Luo Mingxiang turned his head and smiled at his sister, indicating that he didn't care.
She is getting married soon, so what should she care about?
Even her mother doesn't have to worry. Her mother is in charge of the Luo family, so she can't stand the anger anyway.
To be disrespectful, how many years can Mrs. Luo live?
Luo Yun and Luo Jinyan helped Old Mrs. Luo walk in, and the others naturally followed. The family stepped through the door and entered the Rongle Hall where the old lady lived. They asked Ancai again before taking their seats.
"Ayu, come here and give your cousin a present." After sitting down and exchanging greetings, Mrs. Luo said to a young girl standing behind her.
Only then did everyone notice the appearance of the girl. She was a delicate girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. Her appearance could only be called delicate, and her complexion was not as fair and delicate as the noble ladies of Shangyong. She had a slim figure and perfect curves.
She was dressed soberly, and she was standing with a group of girls around the old lady. No wonder everyone didn't pay attention and just thought she was the girl beside the old lady.
The girl was obviously a little restrained, so she carefully took two steps forward and stood in front of the old lady.
Old Mrs. Luo took her hand and said to Luo Yun: "This is your third uncle's granddaughter, her name is Chen Yu'er. This time when I returned to my hometown, she has always been by my side to honor me. When I come back this time, I will give her
I also brought it with me."
Hearing this, Luo Yun frowned slightly, and brought a girl of this age to the capital, even taking care of her wedding.
Luo Yun felt that something was wrong. He had no good impression of his uncle's family, who wanted to drive them far away when the Luo family was in decline. When they became rich, they stayed close to each other and were quite good at pushing the envelope.
But he would not show off to a girl who was only in her teens for the first time. The old lady had already taken her out, and even if she regretted it now, she would not be able to put him back.
Luo Yun nodded slightly to Chen Yu'er and said, "If you stay with the old lady from now on, if there is anything missing, just tell the people around you."
Chen Yu'er quickly made a less than standard salute. Apparently someone had taught her this during this period, "Yes, Yu'er... thank you cousin."
Mr. Luo sat down at the bottom and looked at Chen Yu'er who was standing in the hall at a loss, and then at Shen Lingxiang who was sitting next to her. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
Mrs. Luo obviously liked her niece very much. She pulled her to her with a smile and said to everyone: "Yu'er just came to our house, you are not allowed to bully her."
When he said this, his eyes fell on Luo Junyao.
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes, very innocently.
When did she bully others? Why singled her out for a warning?
Before Luo Junyao could say anything, Luo Jinxing, who was sitting next to Luo Junyao, leaned forward slightly, just enough to block the old lady's sight of Luo Junyao.
"Grandma, Mingxiang is about to leave the government, and Yaoyao is also a good boy. Who would bully the Chen family's cousin? Grandma is not talking about me and my eldest brother, right?"
Luo Jinyan glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about? Grandma just told me casually, but you have always been irritable, so don't rush into the Chen family's cousin."
Luo Jinxing was not angry even after being scolded by his eldest brother in front of so many people. He had always obeyed his eldest brother, Luo Jinyan, and knew that his eldest brother was telling him to stay away from his cousin.
Luo Jinxing touched his nose and said, "I know, I just said it casually, cousin Chen, please don't mind."
Chen Yuer nodded somewhat reluctantly.
Su Shi said warmly: "Mother is tired all the way back. Food, food and hot water have been prepared long ago. Do you want mother to wash up, rest and eat something first?"
Old Mrs. Luo said calmly: "How can money be so valuable? I am an old woman who was used to hardships when she was young. What does this little road mean? I have something else I want to ask you."
Luo Junyao, who was sitting next to him, raised his head and was keenly aware of the coldness in the old lady's words.
Is this... ready to find trouble as soon as you come back and sit down?
