Chapter 78

Chengguofu.

In the east courtyard hall, several plates of exquisite dishes have been placed on the table.

There are more dishes already cooking in the back kitchen.

Because of the cold weather, the guests haven't arrived yet, so for the time being, they are kept warm in another large pot nearby, waiting to be served at any time.

The hall was empty, no one was there.

Under the eaves outside, Luo Yu was wearing a white robe, standing there with her hands behind her back, silently looking at the snowy scene outside, her expression blank, not knowing what she was thinking.

At this time, the sound of footsteps stepping on the snow came from outside the door.

The maids held umbrellas and walked in from the gate surrounded by Mrs. Wang.

Luo Yu came back to her senses, with a gentle smile on her face, and walked up to greet her: "Mom, why are you here?"

Madam Wang glanced at her son, walked into the room without saying a word.

Looking at the dishes on the table, she was silent for a long time, then Fang whispered: "Yu'er, is it worth wasting your time on this?"

Luo Yu also looked at the dishes on the table, still with a gentle smile on his face: "Nothing else, I haven't seen Qingzhou for a long time, I just want to have a meal and chat."

Wang looked at him with the doting in her eyes that only a mother can have: "Yu'er, he is not qualified."

After a pause, he said softly: "Of course, if you like it, no one will say anything."

Luo Yu avoided her gaze and looked at the falling snowflakes outside.

Wang turned around and stood side by side with him. She also looked outside. After being silent for a while, Fang whispered: "Yu'er, I'm sorry...Mother knows about that...but don't worry, a person from You are just a lowly thing that crawled out of the mud, and you are not qualified to enjoy what originally belongs to you..."

The gentle smile on Luo Yu's face disappeared without knowing when: "Mom, he has already enjoyed it."

The muscles in the corner of Wang's eyes twitched, and she slowly raised her hand, wanting to touch Mo Mo's face or touch Mo Mo's back like she did when she was a child.

When he was wronged when he was a child, she would always caress him gently and comfort him like this.

But at this moment, her raised hand lowered it after hesitating for a moment.

She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of her, remained silent for a moment, and whispered: "Yu'er, don't worry, no one can take away what belongs to you...My mother will definitely make the decision for you, just like when I was a child. ..."

Luo Yu looked outside and said nothing.

Mrs. Wang stood for a while longer, then turned to look at the maid next to her. Her expression returned to calmness: "Go and call the Second Madam."

"Yes, ma'am."

The maid left in a hurry.

Silence returned to the room.

Neither mother nor son spoke anymore.

Not long after, the second lady Yang, who was wearing a purple skirt and had a graceful figure, hurried over. First she called "Second Young Master" with a smile on her face, then she called "Madam" flatteringly, and said: "Mrs. What are your orders for a slave?"

In front of the servants, she is the second wife.

But in front of Wang, she was just a servant.

Wang stared at her pretty face expressionlessly for a while, then Fang said lightly: "You should also know that he will come over later. You stay here and talk to him for a while. .

After a pause, he narrowed his eyes again and said, "Let him say everything he needs to say, do you understand?"

Yang quickly lowered his head and smiled: "Madam, don't worry, I understand. I will definitely let that little thing tell you everything that happened in the Qin Mansion later."

Wang stared at her for a while, then suddenly said: "Where is Xiaolou? Why haven't you seen her for a long time?"

Yang lowered her head even lower and said with a smile on her face: "That girl spends the whole day hiding in the house reading and painting, and doesn't come out often."

Wang thought for a moment: "Calculating his age, Xiaolou is already eleven or twelve years old, right?"

Yang smiled and said: "This year's Chinese New Year, I am exactly twelve years old."

Wang nodded slightly, was silent for a moment, looked at her and said, "I remember that Xiaolou used to have a very good relationship with him. Ever since he entered the house, Xiaolou especially liked to play with him, right?"

Yang's face changed and she said hurriedly: "Madam, you misunderstood. Xiaolou actually hates that little thing. Every time we meet, he scolds him and even throws stones at him. He doesn't like to play with that little thing. He just thinks that The little thing is cheap and easy to bully, so I just treat him as a toy."

Her voice was beginning to tremble.

For the first time, a faint smile appeared on Mrs. Wang's face: "Ping'er, I don't mean anything else. I just think that since he finally came back, he should naturally find a few people who can talk to him to accompany him. Otherwise, wouldn’t it appear that I, the Chengguo Mansion, are not treating guests well? Go ahead and call Xiaolou over to accompany him.”

Yang's face turned pale and she said in a trembling voice: "Madam, Xiaolou...she is studying..."

Mrs. Wang turned her head, looked at the maid next to her and said, "Go and bring Xiaolou here."

"Yes, ma'am."

The maid hurried away.

Yang lowered his head, looked ugly, and did not dare to say a word.

Wang turned around and looked at the heavy snowflakes starting to fall outside, and said no more.

After a while.

Luo Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Mom, do you think he came alone this time?"

Mrs. Wang was silent for a moment and said, "I'm just a lowly son-in-law. At most, I have the maid to accompany me."

At this time, a servant hurried in and reported: "Madam, Second Young Master, the carriage has arrived at the door."

Wang's face was calm: "Is he alone?"

The servant bowed and said, "And that...the maid who killed Wang Huyuan last time."

Wang's eyelids twitched a few times, then she said slowly: "I understand."

The servants retreated.

The room fell silent.

After a while, Wang Shifang said softly: "Yu'er, mother is leaving first. Later, mother will ask Uncle Zhang and others to come over and watch from the courtyard."

Luo Yu shook her head: "No, it's not necessary."

Wang looked at him, her lips moved, and she hesitated to speak, but in the end she said nothing more, nodded slightly, and left surrounded by her servants.

When she disappeared from the main door outside, Yang, who was bowing his head, slowly raised his head, his face turned slightly pale.

Not long after, the maid led a young girl in red into the small courtyard.

The girl has a petite body and a pretty appearance. Her eyes are particularly big, watery, smart and cute.

After she saw Yang, she immediately happily passed the maid and ran in. Her young face was full of excitement: "Mother, I heard from Sister Dong'er that Brother Qingzhou is coming back, right? Last time Qingzhou When my brother came back, you didn’t let me go out and I didn’t even see him. This time I can finally see him!”

Yang's expression changed, she glanced at the second young master next to her, and quickly reprimanded him with a straight face: "Brother Qingzhou? How many times have I told you, that's a bitch, a lowly thing, not your brother! I won't do it again in the future. Scream at me and tear your mouth apart!"

Then he pointed at Luo Yu next to him and said with a smile on his face: "This is your real brother, please call me second brother."

The excited smile on Luo Xiaolou's face disappeared, he frowned, stopped, stood in front of Luo Yu, bowed his head, and called out timidly: "Second brother."

A gentle smile appeared on Luo Yu's face, and she looked at her and said, "Xiaolou is innocent, and she is right. Er Niang, don't reprimand her like this next time."

Yang laughed along and said: "Second Young Master, please don't spoil this girl. This girl is just stupid and can't bend her way around. She should be taught a lesson regularly. That lowly little thing calls him by his name because he thinks highly of him. How can he deserve to be called?" His brother, I feel disgusted just looking at his stinky face! I'm neither old nor young, I don't understand the rules, I've been married for so many days, and I don't know how to take the initiative to come back to greet the master and his wife, as well as the second young master, and actually ask the second young master to send someone to greet you personally, huh, I can't say good things today. Teach that ungrateful white-eyed wolf a lesson!"

Luo Xiaolou stood aside with his head lowered, not daring to say a word anymore. The excitement he felt when he arrived instantly turned to ice.

Luo Yu had a smile on her face and said no more.

Not long after.

There was a sound of footsteps outside.

The maid led a young man in through the gate.

Behind the young man was a pretty girl holding a sword.

As soon as the girl appeared, the wind and snow outside seemed to get colder.

Luo Yu felt an itch on her neck unconsciously.

Looking at the girl holding the sword, looking at her pretty and cold appearance, thinking about the sword sealing her throat that day, and thinking about that beautiful figure like a fairy, his heart, which had already regained its calmness, suddenly felt... It tightened, and it stung like a needle.

These originally belonged to him.
