To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 248 Unique

   "The governor, the third girl has returned home!" A servant came to report.

   "How is the young master?"

   "Little son is being carried on his back, and he seems to be in good spirits."

  The governor Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "The third girl didn't send a letter?"

"No."

   Governor Luo got up helplessly.

   It seems that Sheng'er is going to hide it.

   Was it because he was afraid that he would blame her for knowing that Chen'er was injured?

   Seeing Governor Luo standing up, the servants hurriedly said: "The third girl is coming this way."

  Governor Luo sat back and said with a dark face, "Get out!"

   Seeing that the servant hadn't moved yet, Governor Luo stared: "Huh?"

   "Reporting to the governor, the third girl also brought a food box."

   Governor Luo's eyes lit up, and he tried his best to control the sudden excitement, and said lightly: "Go out."

  The servant looked respectful but went out calmly.

   Then he knew that the governor could not be angry when he heard that the third girl had brought food.

  The door closed, and Governor Luo suddenly felt that the time was a bit difficult.

  He picked up the book and flipped through it casually. After turning two pages, he put the book down, got up and paced back and forth.

   Calculate the distance, it should be here.

   Was it delayed by someone saluting on the way, or was the food box too heavy?

   Governor Luo pricked up his ears, and finally heard the movement outside the door, and hurriedly sat down and picked up the scroll again.

  After Luo Sheng entered the door, what he saw was the appearance of Governor Luo sitting and reading a book.

   "The restaurant is closed." Governor Luo smiled at his daughter.

  Luo Sheng came forward with a food box: "I have something to report to you."

   "What's the matter?" Governor Luo put down the scroll and motioned Luo Sheng to sit down.

   "Xiao Qi climbed a persimmon tree and fell down, Luo Chen reached out to catch him and was knocked unconscious—"

   "Did you faint?" Governor Luo's complexion changed slightly.

   Didn’t you say that the problem is not serious, why are you still in a coma?

   "Already awake, but suffered a little skin trauma."

   Governor Luo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Where is the injury? Have you taken any medicine?"

  Luo Sheng paid attention to Governor Luo's expression calmly, and said: "The wound has been treated, it's on the butt."

   Governor Luo's pupils opened slightly, and he blurted out, "Who treated Chen'er's wound?"

  Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows.

   It turned out that the chief inspector Luo was most concerned about who treated Luo Chen's wound?

  This is a bit strange.

  The wound was treated by either a doctor or someone close to him. What should we pay attention to?

   Even if you ask Luo Chen whether the wound on his buttocks is deep or not, and whether there will be scars, it is more worthy of attention than this question.

unless-

  Luo Sheng's eyes darkened.

   Unless this question is very important... Is it because you are afraid that people will see the scar on Luo Chen's butt?

  Luo Sheng decided to try again.

   "Xiao Qi took the initiative to ask Ying to treat Luo Chen's wound."

   "Uh." Thinking of that foolish black boy, Governor Luo couldn't see the slightest abnormality on his face.

   "Xiao Qi told me that Luo Chen has a scar on his butt." Luo Sheng was curious, "Father, how did Luo Chen get hurt there?"

  Governor Luo's expression froze, and he smiled after a while: "It happened many years ago, and I can't remember it for a while as a father."

  Luo Sheng was surprised: "You can't remember why Luo Chen was injured?"

   Governor Luo suffocated for breath.

  Why does Sheng'er seem to be very irresponsible when he asks such a question?

   "Ahem." Governor Luo cleared his throat, "I remembered again."

   "Then tell me."

   "It's just that when Chen'er was still very young, he was burned by the smoked cage..."

  Luo Sheng looked shocked: "You will be burned by the smoke cage? What are the maids, mothers-in-law and nurses doing?"

   "It's an accident that happened under the carelessness of those bastards."

  Luo Sheng frowned: "Such servants are too sloppy."

   Chief Superintendent Luo nodded: "So I killed those **** for my father."

  Luo Sheng fell silent.

   In this way, there is no way to verify this matter other than believing what Luo Dadu said.

  Luo Sheng thought of Sheng Shi, the wife of Governor Luo.

  If the Sheng family is still there, maybe I can verify it from her.

   It's a pity to hear from Hongdou that Sheng's family suffered from postpartum wind, and the child died before the full moon.

   If you ask more, Hongdou can't say anything.

   It is said that Governor Luo did not want to hear about his dead wife. As time went on, no one in the mansion dared to mention it, so it was naturally unclear for Hongdou's age.

   "Sheng'er, why are you suddenly curious about this?" Superintendent Luo glanced at the food box that Luo Sheng put on the table.

  Luo Sheng smiled: "I'm just such a biological brother, so naturally I should care more."

  Luo Dadu looked relieved: "Sheng'er is really sensible."

   Knowing how to care about his only younger brother, no wonder he brought a food box to see him.

  His father is also the only one.

  Luo Sheng seemed to understand what Governor Luo was thinking, and asked, "Has father had dinner?"

   "Not yet!" Chief Governor Luo blurted out, coughing reservedly, "I want to finish the matter at hand before eating."

   "That's just right. I brought you back the puff pastry, which should still be warm." Luo Sheng opened the food box, and took out the puff pastry wrapped in oil paper from the food box interlayered with thermal insulation cotton.

  When I touched the oiled paper, it was still warm.

  Governor Luo took it immediately: "It doesn't matter whether it's hot or cold, as long as you bring it from the wine shop."

  Luo Sheng smiled: "Then you eat first, I'm going back."

   "Go back and have a rest, I will visit Chen'er for my father later."

  Luo Sheng slightly bent his knees and left the study.

   Stepping into the courtyard, the night is dark and the sky is full of stars.

  Luo Sheng looked up, then looked back in the direction of the study.

  The lights in the study are bright, and a silhouette is reflected on the window.

   That is the Governor Luo.

  At this moment, Luo Sheng's mood was a little complicated, and more of it was the confusion caused by the unconfirmed guess.

  She carefully recalled what Luo Chen looked like, what her parents looked like, and what she used to look like.

  Luo Chen and his concubine... seem to have some resemblance.

   But is this feeling real, or is it an illusion created by preconceived ideas?

  If Luo Chen is Bao'er, why would Governor Luo do this?

   Hong Dou, who was waiting in the yard, saw Luo Sheng stop in a daze, and called out, "Girl?"

  Luo Sheng came back to his senses, glanced at Hongdou and Kouer, and said lightly: "Let's go."

  Walking on the way back to Xianyunyuan, two little maids whispered behind them.

  The accident that happened today, because Luo Chen was fine, became an interesting topic of conversation instead.

  Luo Sheng slowed down, and seemed to ask casually: "Have you heard of the servants who were close to my mother when she was still alive?"

  Keer hurriedly said: "My servant has heard of it!"

  Hong Dou silently rolled his eyes.

   What are you rushing to answer, as if she could answer it later.

  Bah, she is not as gossipy as Kouer's little hoof!

   "Tell me." Luo Sheng seemed to be careless.

   "I don't know the servants who are close to Madam, but I heard that there is an aunt who is very important to Madam."

   There will be another update.
