To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 3 A dream for twelve years

  The second girl Su had a dull expression, and pinched Su Xiaodi: "Isn't it a dream?"

  Brother Su let out a scream: "It hurts—"

  The second girl Su breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just that it hurts, it's really not a dream. Second brother, you escaped unharmed!"

  Mrs. Su came back to her senses at this moment, seeing Fengshen's handsome son bursting into tears, but they were tears of joy.

  The son really escaped, if it wasn't for the young and old of the Su family, how could she endure the nausea and listen to Mrs. Shengda say those words!

  Su Yao stepped forward and patted Mrs. Su's arm: "It's because my son is not good. I'm tired of you."

  He turned his eyes to the door, thinking of Luo Sheng's performance which was very different from the past, he was a bit puzzled.

  Will Luo Sheng let him go?

  Miss Su commanded the servant girl to sweep the inside and outside of the house, her voice was brisk: "Everyone should move quickly, and sweep away the bad luck!"

  The maidservants laughed crisply: "Miss, don't worry, the servant girls will clean up well."

  The whole family of the Sheng family who left from the Su Mansion felt much heavier.

  Sheng Jiayu approached Luo Sheng, gritted her teeth and asked, "Luo Sheng, what tricks are you playing?"

  Mrs. Shengda glanced at her daughter, and said with a warning: "Jiayu, is there any rule, call me cousin."

   "Mother—" Sheng Jiayu stomped her feet unconvinced.

  She is a few months younger than Luo Sheng, so she should be called "cousin", but Luo Sheng doesn't look like a cousin at all, so she can't say it.

  Mrs. Shengda didn't understand her daughter's mood. After pretending to reprimand her, she asked Luo Sheng: "Why is Cousin so unwilling all of a sudden?"

  If one of the second sons of the Su family is sacrificed, so that the Sheng and Su families and even the entire Jinsha County can live in peace, it is actually okay.

  Luo Sheng frowned slightly: "Auntie hopes that my marriage with Second Young Master Su will be successful?"

   These words almost scared Sheng Jiayu to death, and she yanked Mrs. Shengda's sleeve.

  Mrs. Sheng Da didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

  The two families of Sheng and Su are not far from each other. The group quickly returned to Sheng's mansion and went straight to Funing Hall to see Mrs. Sheng.

  Old lady Sheng's heart was fluttering, and when she saw Luo Sheng came back, she hurriedly asked why.

  Luo Sheng was blessed, and said lightly: "Perhaps my grandmother misunderstood, I never thought of getting engaged to Second Young Master Su. Sheng'er is not feeling well, so I'm going back to my room first."

  As soon as Luo Sheng left, Old Madam Sheng couldn't hold back anymore, and asked Luo Chen worriedly: "Chen'er, is your sister looking at someone else again?"

  Luo Chen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he tried to defend himself: "Sister is not someone who is so quick to change her mind..."

  He has to watch carefully this time, if Luo Sheng dares to act recklessly, he will beat her to death!

  Sheng Jiayu patted Luo Chen on the shoulder with a serious face: "Cousin, you must not know your sister."

  The old lady Sheng sighed and signaled the two to step back, leaving the two daughters-in-law to discuss countermeasures.

   "Since Governor Luo entrusted Sheng'er's marriage to my grandmother, I think the sooner Sheng'er's marriage is settled, the better."

   If this continues, the Sheng family will offend all the people in Jinsha County.

  The eldest wife and the second wife agreed: "What the old lady said is very true."

  Old lady Sheng raised her hand and rubbed her temples, with a regretful expression on her face: "But that girl doesn't want to marry the Su family anymore, which one do you think is suitable?"

  The eldest wife laughed dryly: "The cousin girl has high vision, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable one for a while."

   "Yes, looking at Jinsha, there are not many young men who can be worthy of a cousin girl." The second wife followed.

  She heard that several families have sent their handsome sons to study and travel, just to escape from the claws of the cousin girl.

  This is really embarrassing!

  Old lady Sheng glanced at the two daughters-in-law, and said what she planned in her heart: "Sheng'er has three cousins ​​and a cousin, all of the same age, why not choose one of them."

  The Sheng family has been kind to others for many years. They are kind people. Instead of letting that girl harm others, it is better to stay at home. After all, she was that girl's grandmother, and there would be no big trouble with her.

  Old lady Sheng's words were like a thunderbolt that almost killed the two daughter-in-laws.

  The eldest wife stood up abruptly, holding her forehead and shaking her head: "My daughter-in-law has heart palpitations again, and I want to go back to the room and take a baoxin pill..."

  The second wife hurriedly supported the eldest wife: "My daughter-in-law sends my sister-in-law back to her room."

   In the blink of an eye, none of the two daughters-in-law were left, leaving only the old lady sullen.

  Is there no one who is generally willing to sacrifice? She really missed it!

  Luo Sheng had just entered the room when Hong Dou leaned over and asked with a smile: "Miss, have you fallen in love with another young master again? Who do you think it is, I'll get it back for you."

  Luo Sheng poured himself a cup of tea, took two sips, and stared at the floating green buds in the teacup.

  Hongdou has never seen her girl so quiet, she felt a little strange for a while, and asked cautiously: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

  Luo Sheng looked up at Hongdou.

  Although the words uttered by the little maid were so ridiculous, the worry on her face was real.

  Luo Sheng held the teacup slightly harder with his fingertips, and asked the words that had been hovering in his mind since he woke up: "Hongdou, do you know the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"

  She is not Luo Sheng, the beloved daughter of Governor Luo, but Princess Qingyang of Zhennan Palace!

She died and woke up again, her soul was trapped in someone else's body, but she didn't know anything about this person's situation, so she had to use all her strength to control the overwhelming hatred and pain before she died, and calmly understand the current situation .

   "Zhennan Prince's Mansion?" Hong Dou thought about it seriously, with a blank expression, "I haven't heard of it."

  Luo Sheng's heart sank, and the knuckles holding the teacup were faintly white.

  Her father is the only king with a different surname in Dazhou. Although Jinsha County is not under the jurisdiction of King Zhennan, how many people in Dazhou don’t know about it?

  Luo Sheng calmed down, and asked again: "Then what about Pingnan Palace?"

   I don’t know about the Zhennan Palace, and I’m afraid the Pingnan Palace doesn’t know either.

Unexpectedly, Hongdou laughed after being stunned: "Miss, are you taking the school maidservant exam? Who doesn't know Pingnan Wangfu? The son of Pingnan Wang adopted the emperor's name seven years ago and became a prince. The whole Pingnan Wangfu You moved to the capital, and you have met the prince..."

  The blood on Luo Sheng's face faded completely, and he couldn't hear a word behind Hongdou.

  She suppressed the thunderous heartbeat, and asked tremblingly, "What year is it now?"

   "Seventeen years of Yong'an." Hongdou replied without thinking.

   With a bang, the teacup in Luo Sheng's hand fell and shattered.

  Seventeen years of Yong'an—she died and then woke up, twelve years have passed?

  What happened in the past twelve years, why is what Hongdou said so ridiculous?

  Hong Dou was startled, and hurriedly squatted down to clean up the broken porcelain on the floor: "Girl, you pricked your foot—hey, what is this?"

  The little maid took out a white silk from the gap between the curtain and the screen, stared at it for a moment, seemed to remember something, and quickly threw the white silk in her hand: "Bah, bah, what a bad luck!"

  Thank you for your rewards, investments and votes.
