To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 48 seen

  The girl in blue clothes looks about fourteen or fifteen years old. Based on her words and deeds, Luo Sheng speculates that she should be the fourth girl, Luo Yue.

  There are four girls in the Luo Mansion, the eldest girl Luo Ying, the second girl Luo Qing, and the fourth girl Luo Yue are all concubines, and only Luo Sheng is a descendant.

Before Luo Sheng could speak, Hongdou erupted with the astonishing aura of a maid. Liu Mei sneered and said: "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings. Our girl has only been out for a few days, and she dares to raise eyebrows at our girl." Fourth girl, do you want to go to heaven?"

  Luo Yue's pretty face flushed red, she subconsciously wanted to hide from Luo Sheng's calm gaze, but in the end she was unwilling to show weakness and stared back: "I'm not afraid of you, do you think it's the same as before—"

   "Fourth sister, don't make trouble—" Two girls rushed over, grabbing Luo Yue's arms from left to right.

   Among them, the tall and slender purple-clothed girl looked anxious, and smiled apologetically at Luo Sheng: "Third sister, fourth sister feels uncomfortable seeing her father like this, don't worry about her."

  Another slender girl in a green skirt said softly to Luo Yue: "Fourth sister, why don't you apologize to the third sister."

  Luo Sheng pursed his lips and remained silent.

  She doesn't know anything about Luo Mansion, so it's better to listen to what others have to say.

  For example, at the moment, Luo Ying and Luo Qing seem to be polite to her, but in fact they are sincerely protecting the fourth girl Luo Yue.

   This is not surprising. It is not difficult to know from Hongdou that Miss Luo used to be a domineering girl in front of her sisters.

   Therefore, although the three sisters were not born by the same aunt, they are united and friendly like a rope.

   "Eldest sister, second sister, why are you still humiliating in front of her?" Luo Yue pointed at Luo Sheng, feeling rather agitated.

  Perhaps it was the eruption under long-term oppression that made people have the ruthlessness to smash a jar. Luo Ying and Luo Qing couldn't drag Luo Yue who was out of control at all, so they could only listen in horror to her endless reprimand to Luo Sheng.

"Do you think you can still be a lawless and proud daughter of heaven? Wake up, if your father is gone, you are nothing like us. Not only that, those who have been bullied by you in the past will definitely come to you to settle accounts, If I trample you into a puddle of mud, I might bring the Luo family into bad luck..."

  Luo Sheng walked up to Luo Yue step by step, and raised his hand.

  Luo Yue subconsciously took half a step back, and then blushed because of her conditioned timidity.

  Luo Ying has already stretched out her hand to block it: "Third Sister, calm down—"

  Luo Sheng raised his hand and patted Luo Ying's arm. While he was in a daze, he pointed at Luo Yue's skirt, and said calmly, "Tie your belt up before you talk."

  Luo Yue suddenly lowered her head, only to find that one of her belts was unraveled.

  She just remembered that when she was in the room, she was shocked when she heard Luo Sheng come back. She casually grabbed the coat that was hanging on the screen, put it on in a hurry, and ran out.

   This belt may have come loose during the run, or it may have simply been forgotten...

  Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Luo Yue's ears were flushed with shame, and the momentum of angrily scolding Luo Sheng had long since disappeared without a trace.

  The scene was suddenly quiet because of Luo Sheng's light words.

  Luo Sheng waited for Luo Yue to tidy up his clothes in a panic before he said calmly: "Now can you tell me why my father was assassinated lying on the bed, and why it is related to me?"

  Seeing that Luo Yue raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry again, Luo Sheng frowned: "If cursing can solve the problem, it's your turn to scold?"

  One sentence made Luo Yue choke so much that he forgot what to scold.

  Luo Sheng looked at the girl in purple: "Since the fourth sister is so irrational, please tell me."

  Luo Yue's eyes widened in annoyance.

  Is she irrational? How could Luo Sheng, who couldn't help but tease him when he saw a handsome man, have the face to say such a thing?

  And Luo Ying and Luo Qing looked at each other, feeling strange in their hearts.

  Third Sister seems to be a little different.

   "Sister?"

  Luo Ying came back to her senses, forced a smile to Luo Sheng: "Do you still remember Young Master Si?"

  Luo Sheng nodded calmly: "En."

  Of course she remembered that the so-called Mr. Si was the face that Miss Luo snatched back in the street.

  Luo Ying had hatred in her eyes, and her tone subconsciously cooled down: "He was the one who stabbed father!"

  Luo Sheng was silent.

  She only knew that a girl who likes to raise her face can cause trouble, but she didn't expect to cause such a big trouble!

  Of course, anyone in this world can accuse Miss Luo, but she cannot.

  This body belongs to Miss Luo, and based on this alone, she is not worthy of the favor.

   After being silent for a while, Luo Sheng turned around and said, "I'll go see my father first."

  Luo Yue bit her lip facing Luo Sheng's back: "Eldest sister, second sister, look, she also knows that she has no face to say—"

   "Okay, fourth sister, don't say a few words. The third sister has already gone in to see her father, so let's go too." Luo Ying patted Luo Yue's arm and pulled her inside.

  A row of aunts standing under the corridor stepped aside one after another, allowing Luo Sheng to push the door and enter.

  When Luo Ying and the others walked in, the eyes of a group of aunts naturally fell on Sheng Sanlang.

  Sheng Saburo had never seen a scene where a great lady came back from a long trip and greeted another lady with a yelling scolding, so that she hadn't recovered yet, and she was supposed to go in with Luo Sheng to see his uncle, but he forgot.

  The young man who had forgotten his business felt pressured by the sizing up of a group of women, and subconsciously showed a shy smile.

   This laugh broke the silence of the auntie.

   "God, is this the noodle brought back by the girl?"

   "Impossible, isn't the girl sent to her grandfather's house by the master? I heard that Jinsha Sheng's family is a scholarly family, so can I sit and watch the girl raise her face?"

  An aunt in a lilac-colored beanie flicked her handkerchief, and said in a revealing tone: "Why can't it be, our master can't control the girl's face-raising, but the Sheng family can?"

  All the aunts thought about it, and nodded together: "Sixth sister (sixth sister), what you said makes sense!"

  Sheng Sanlang has good hearing, and even if his hearing is average, it is impossible for a group of women to not hear such a discussion.

  The noodle brought back? Does this mean him?

  Looking at the non-existent Xiuyue, Sheng Saburo felt that he hadn't misunderstood.

   It must be him, it can't be Xiu Gu!

   Still makes sense, makes sense shit!

   It was a matter of fame, Sheng Sanlang couldn't keep silent anymore, he coughed heavily to stop the women's discussion.

   "I'm Luo Sheng's third cousin. Everyone, please step aside. I'll go in and see my uncle."

  All the aunts silently moved out of the way, seeing Sheng Sanlang enter the door, they quickly exchanged glances with each other.

  A aunt lowered her voice and said, "I didn't expect the girl to bring her cousin home without a name..."

  Sheng Sanlang, who heard the words verbatim, staggered and almost fell down.

  He sent his cousin to Beijing just for one bite, and he never thought of putting his innocence on it—at least he can’t be anonymous!

  Compared to the commotion outside, the house fell into a suffocating silence.

  Luo Sheng stared straight at the middle-aged man lying on the bed, feeling cold in his heart.

   She has seen this face before.

  This is a difficult update, to celebrate its release, and to express our gratitude to everyone who subscribed, rewarded, and voted. By the way, ask for votes!
