To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 13 Reasons

  Many coincidences in this world that seem at first glance are actually inevitable. Of course, Luo Chen did not go to the lake for no reason, but met Hongdou.

  At that time, Hongdou hurriedly walked, with a fierce look on her face, Luo Chen was so frightened that this little maid went to the streets to **** men for her master again, so she stopped Hongdou to ask.

   Hearing that Hongdou said that he was going back to the house to get melon seeds, the girl was still waiting by the lake, Luo Chen felt unreliable no matter what he thought, so his legs went uncontrollably to the lake.

  He saw Luo Sheng who was dozing off by the lake, he was relieved and prepared to turn around and leave.

  He doesn't care about Luo Sheng, as long as he doesn't cause trouble and embarrass him.

   But at that moment, Luo Chen saw Sheng Jialan walking towards the lake, and then saw Luo Sheng who was dozing off being pushed down by Sheng Jialan.

  After Luo Chen finished speaking, a needle could be heard in the room, and it was only a moment later that Sheng Jiayu broke the suffocating silence.

  She stared at Sheng Jialan with wide eyes, with an expression of disbelief on her face: "Second sister, it was really you who pushed Luo Sheng into the lake?"

  Sheng Jialan didn't answer, just covered her mouth and shook her head while weeping. The solitary pearl earring swayed back and forth with the shaking of her head, gently patting her pale cheek.

  Sheng Jiayu seemed to have thought of something, and raised her voice, "No!"

  She pointed at Sheng Jialan, and her voice was urgent: "Second sister came back to find the lost earring. If she had the intention of harming Luo Sheng, how could there be such a coincidence?"

  Luo Chen frowned, his eyes showed the vigor of a young man: "Cousin doesn't believe me?"

  Sheng Jiayu bit her lips in embarrassment: "It's not that I don't believe in my cousin, it's just that things are obviously weird, I have to figure it out before I say—"

Hongdou sneered: "Miss Big Cousin said she wanted to find out now, but just now she rushed in without asking anything and said that it was our girl who pushed your sister into the lake. Could it be that your sister is a baby sister, and other people's sisters are not." Baby sister?"

  Luo Chen's face darkened when he heard this, and he felt angry.

  Whose baby sister? This little maid is talking nonsense!

  A slightly cold voice sounded: "Cousin wants to make it clear, then I will make it clear."

  Luo Sheng approached Sheng Jiayu step by step, and stopped in front of her.

  Sheng Jiayu took half a step back subconsciously: "What do you want to say?"

Luo Sheng stretched out two fingers, and spoke softly: "There are two kinds of harm, one is a sudden intention, and the other is a long-planned plan. Maybe Sheng Jialan really lost her earring and came back to look for it. Seeing me sitting by the lake and falling asleep, she woke up for a while. Evil thoughts pushed me into the lake. In this case, it is not a coincidence that she came back to find the earrings. Cousin thinks I am right?"

Although Sheng Jiayu was very unwilling to give Luo Sheng face, she reluctantly nodded and asked unwillingly: "Then what has been planned for a long time? The second sister lost her earrings at her grandmother's place. When she lost the earrings, she didn't know you would be in the lake. dozed off."

  Luo Sheng smiled slightly.

  Sheng Jiayu couldn't help being stunned.

   I don't know if it's an illusion, but in her impression, Luo Sheng hasn't laughed for a long time.

   While Sheng Jiayu was in a daze, Luo Sheng raised his hand and reached out to her ear.

   "What are you doing?" Sheng Jiayu stepped back and asked sternly, her heart still beating.

  Given Luo Sheng's nonchalant temperament, he probably wanted to scratch her face, right?

  Luo Sheng's actions undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention. They saw that she spread her hand, and the palm of her hand was a red coral bead earring.

  Sheng Shiro called out: "Elder sister, you are missing an earring!"

  Sheng Jiayu subconsciously raised her hand to touch it, and sure enough, one earlobe was empty.

   "You, what are you doing?" Sheng Jiayu was puzzled and furious.

  Luo Sheng didn't answer her, but threw the red coral bead earring casually.

  The small earrings drew an arc in the air and landed at the foot of the screen embroidered with Songhe Yannian.

  Old lady Sheng said: "Sheng'er, what are you doing?"

   Standing by the door, Sheng Dalang's eyes flickered slightly, and he took a deep look at Luo Sheng.

  He probably guessed what Cousin Luo meant. This cousin Luo seemed to be far smarter than he remembered.

   Sheng Dalang, who guessed what Luo Sheng was thinking, remained calm, but looked at Sheng Jialan with disappointment and pain in his eyes.

Luo Sheng pointed to the earrings at the foot of the screen, and said calmly: "Sheng Jialan's earrings were lost in Funing Hall, but how can my cousin be sure that she accidentally lost them when she left with you after paying her respects to her grandmother? Or did you throw it on purpose when you were called here with me just now?"

  Sheng Jiayu was completely questioned, and slowly turned to look at Sheng Jialan.

  Luo Sheng has explained her confusion clearly, and with the evidence of her cousin and Hongdou, then the second sister—

   "Jia Lan, why did you hurt your cousin?" Old Madam Sheng slapped the table with a stern tone.

  Sheng Jialan bowed her head and knelt without saying a word.

  Hong Dou slapped his forehead: "I thought about it, a few days ago our girl didn't commit suicide at all, but was killed by the second cousin girl!"

   "What?" Hong Dou's words shocked everyone.

  The old lady Sheng's tone became more severe: "Hongdou, speak clearly!"

  Hong Dou spat on Sheng Jialan, and then said: "The girl confiscated the white silk because she was too flustered when the accident happened, but I found it later, and hung it on the beam to find that the height was wrong..."

  Hong Dou Yi Hulu Hua Piao said what Luo Sheng said, but replaced the person who discovered this with himself.

   And these, of course, were ordered by Luo Sheng.

  Everyone listened attentively, but one person squeezed the teacup slightly tightly.

   That person is the eldest wife.

  The words of the maidservant Shuangye on the day of the family banquet echoed in the ears of the eldest wife: "A white silk is hanging in front of the eyes of the servant girl, so scared that the heart of the servant girl is about to jump out..."

   So, the cousin girl who was bumped into by Shuangye didn't make a fuss about hanging herself again, but realized something was wrong?

  The eldest lady glanced at Luo Sheng unobtrusively, and thought slightly: This cousin girl is not that simple!

  She couldn't believe that it was the little girl named Hongdou who noticed something was wrong.

  After listening to Hongdou's narration, Old Madam Sheng's face was clouded, and she threw a teacup beside Sheng Jialan tremblingly: "You girl is really a demon, why did you hurt your cousin again and again?"

  The tea Gu was shattered beside Sheng Jialan, and the broken porcelain on the ground was shocking.

  Sheng Jialan still didn't speak, letting old lady Sheng and others question her in turn.

  In the end, Sheng Jiayu was heartbroken, stomped her feet and said, "Second sister, you really let me down!"

  Disappointed?

  Sheng Jialan twitched her eyelashes and pursed her lips tightly.

  The matter has been exposed, and now she has nothing to say, and she can't say it.

  A pair of shoes embroidered with begonia flowers appeared in front of her.

  Sheng Jialan slowly raised her head and met Luo Sheng's sight.

  Luo Sheng leaned slightly, stared into Sheng Jialan's eyes, and said word by word: "You are for Su Yao."

  Sheng Jialan only felt a bang in the head as if being blasted by thunder, and her mind went blank for a moment, only one sentence echoed over and over again.

  You are for Su Yao.
