Chapter 256 I liked Third Sister
Luo Baiqiong wanted to say sothing, but the words wouldn’t co out of her mouth. Sun iniang ca up and moved away the hands of the two servants who were holding her daughter. While untying Luo Baiqiong, she pointed with her polished fair finger at the two servants and the woman servant who beat Luo Baiqiong, and scread, “You are blind. How dare you be disrespectful to the Miss? Do you want to live or not? Co on, drag them out and throw the book at them!”
The servants were scared and knelt down to beg for rcy. One of them kowtowed and said, “Second Mistress Luo, forgive us. We are all directly under Bao Qin Ge. We have always been diligent and conscientious, and we never made any mistakes. We are innocent! Just now, Administrator Ding ran away and asked us to rush to the ancestral hall. He said that if we see a suspicious woman, we should imdiately gag her and pinned her on the spot, so we co here and asked the guardian of the ancestral hall. He said that only Third Miss had been in there before, so we rushed in and got her down. We are just innocent!”
Another servant also pleaded, “Forgive us! We did nothing disrespectful to Second Miss, except for covering her mouth.”
Ding Rong’s wife rushed over, with a bunch of brass keys in her hand. She threw the keys at the two servants’ heads and faces, cursing in hatred, “You do the great wrong thing and want to deny it? There are lanterns everywhere in the ancestral hall. How can you not recognize Second Miss? How can you mistake the identity?” She hit them even harder when she spoke.
Seeing that the two servants were bloody, the woman servant was so scared that she scread and slapped herself. At the sa ti, she defended, “Second Mistress Luo, you just said to enforce the family discipline. I follow your order and slap myself thirty tis. But even you didn’t recognize Second Miss. How can I see her clearly? Please forgive !”
Madam Luo was disturbed by their words, so she stopped them, “Enough! Where is the guardian of the ancestral hall? What the hell is going on?”
So servants who knew the specific situation saw that there was a big trouble, so naturally, they refused to go up to be in trouble. They hesitated, and no one went up to reply Madam Luo. Seeing that, Madam Luo was angry and shouted, “Co on, everyone. Calm down.” On the third day of the new year, other families would stay together in happiness and peacefulness, but the Luo’s Family was in chaotic. They even aired the dirty laundry in public. Madam Luo wondered if the marriage would be successful.
Sun iniang held her daughter’s swollen face, and repeatedly asked her about her condition, but she couldn’t get a reply. She thought it was the wrong of the servant woman who slapped her daughter, so she imdiately pointed to the servant woman and said against the Madam Luo’s words, “Go on! Slap her mouth!”
When the servant woman slapped herself, Ding Rong’s wife swung a bunch of keys, attacking the heads of the two strong servants. For all this, they didn’t an to evade. After all, the punishnt was much lighter than the family discipline. Madam Luo’s lips trembled with anger, but Luo Baiqian, who was possessed by Qi Chuan, suddenly burst into laughter. Luo Baiji frowned and asked him, “Elder brother, why are you laughing? What is wrong with you?” Others thought that Luo Baiqian was attacked by insanity, and Luo Baiji also thought so.
Qi Chuan imitated Ding Rong’s wife’s movent of waving keys with both hands, and said with a smile, “She can play kung fu! Look, she seems to be playing a teor hamr and a nine-section whip.”
Feng Yang also laughed, “She’s really good at it. Luo’s Family is full of talents!” After that, he skillfully changed the subject, and questioned from a fair standpoint, “Second Mistress Luo, you said that they are disrespectful to the Miss, so they have to be punished severely. But just now, when you recognized Second Miss as Third Sister, your movents were not rciful at all. Second Miss is the master, so what about Third Sister?”
Sun iniang held her daughter’s swollen face, and she was wrathful, “He Danggui set fire! He Danggui curse people with witchcraft! Of course, He Danggui should be beaten fiercely! Our family affairs in Luo’s Mansion are none of your business!”
ng Ying organized the silk ribbon hanging down from the topknot, and said with a vague smile, “Brother Feng, Brother Ning, since the master is unhappy, let’s not make trouble here. I heard that fireworks on Yueyang Tower are very beautiful. Why don’t we see it together?” Ning Yuan nodded when he heard that.
Madam Luo hurriedly kept guests, “It’s rainy outside and it’s after midnight. If you three guests leave like this, our Luo’s Family will be a joke for not treating guests well.” Then she turned her head and scolded Sun iniang, “Apologize to the guests quickly! Is your eccentric disease not healed yet!”
Luo Baiji was also outraged after hearing Sun iniang’s words, “Second Aunt, don’t slander others! We all know well about the temper of Third Sister and you. Yesterday, I went to visit Third Sister. She has not recovered from the ill until now. How could she run out and set fire? She is the most cautious, most loyal and most harmless person in the family. If she really did what you said, I would not write in the future.”
Sun iniang was struggling whether to obey Madam Luo’s words and apologize to Feng Yang. When she heard that Luo Baiji defended He Danggui, she shouted at him, “Baiji, your mother died on the third day of the new year. It’s her death anniversary. You don’t go ho to offer sacrifices to her, but ss with us here. As your aunt, I persuade you to go back to your yard and turn over the ground. Maybe there are so evil things buried in your yard that delude you to go to Tao Yao Yard every day.”
Madam Luo was so angry that she wanted to hit the wall. She thought it was terrible. Sun iniang actually said such silly words in front of the person who proposed the marriage. This marriage would be over! As expected, she saw Ning Yuan’s sullen look, and Ning Yuan looked at Luo Baiji with a vague expression.
Before Madam Luo said anything, Luo Baiji flushed and admitted in public, “I like Third Sister and appreciate her temperant. She is different from you. She is the one I admire most in this family.” After he spoke, there seed to be a weight in his heart that was relieved. This morning, when he heard that Madam Luo called Feng Yang and the others to enter the inner hall to talk about Third Sister’s marriage, he felt sad, fearing that it would be too late to show his love to Third Sister.
At this ti, everyone was there. Madam Luo always loved him. Even if she didn’t imdiately agree to betroth Third Sister to him, she would seriously consider his opinions and postpone the matchmaking of Third Sister. He knew that Third Sister didn’t like Madam Luo to ss with her marriage. Every ti Madam Luo arranged a match for her, Third Sister seed to be preoccupied. And after a few days, the marriage would be failed. He probably knew that she was playing tricks on it, and he secretly admired her and rejoiced. But he also blad himself for not being able to help her. He couldn’t solve problems for her.
“Ha!” Sun iniang patted his thigh happily, “Did you hear him, Madam? Your good granddaughter is so young, but she has learned to seduce n. She even picked her own elder brother!”
Madam Luo gasped with anger after hearing Sun iniang’s words, not because her grandson fell in love with her granddaughter, but because Sun iniang was disrupting Yi’s marriage on purpose. Luo Baiji didn’t expect that his words would have such a counter-effect, and he didn’t expect Second Aunt to be so vicious. Suddenly, he didn’t know what to say.
Then Qi Chuan said, “The lady who can seduce n is here. Sister Qingyi will not be able to compete with her even after ten years of practice.” Except for the three guests, everyone present knew who he was talking about.
Luo Baiqiong pulled away from Sun iniang when she heard Qi Chuan’s words. She ran over to scratch Qi Chuan’s face. Qi Chuan was also a swordsman when he lived, but now he couldn’t manipulate Luo Baiqian’s body freely. He couldn’t even walk smoothly, and sotis he would fall. At this mont, Luo Baiqiong suddenly ca to him, so he had no ti to dodge her. Surely, Luo Baiqian’s face was scratched. Qi Chuan pulled Ning Yuan over him as a shield. Ning Yuan didn’t move, building a wall of Zhenqi that separated Luo Baiqiong and caused her to retreat three steps.
Luo Baiqiong backed up uncertainly, and then rushed towards Luo Baiji. She spoke, “Second Brother! Do you know who is your family? Why did you defend a foreigner?” Luo Baiqiong and First Mistress Luo, Mrs. Zhao, liked to call He Danggui as “foreigner”. Once Liao Qing’er heard it and chuckled, saying that Xiaoyi was a pretty foreigner.
Luo Baiji evaded Luo Baiqiong sideways. Luo Baiqiong couldn’t stop and slamd into the arms of her father Luo Chuangu. Her father was trying to suppress the discomfort in his throat, but under the impact, he felt sick and vomited. The filth fell on Luo Baiqiong’s hairpin, and then dripped further down. Luo Baiqiong cried out loudly. Her father and mother surrounded her to apologize and comfort her.
On the other side, the corporal punishnt of the two servants and the servant woman not ended. The three people wailed and begged for forgiveness. Feng Yang couldn’t stand it, and said in a deep voice, “What wrong did they commit? They have beco totally unrecognizable but cannot pay off? Why offending Third Sister is a matter of course, and offending Second Miss is a great cri? We just found Second Miss in the ancestral hall, and a servant woman reported that the smoke billowed in the direction of the ancestral hall. Second Mistress Luo, why did you insist that it was Third Sister who set the fire?”
Sun iniang swore sothing, but it was prevailed by Qi Chuan’s loud cry, “Ah! I’m disfigured! Is Luo Baiqiong’s hand poisonous? Ah-ah-ah…”
The rain floating in the sky suddenly turned into large drops of ice water droplets, pouring down towards everyone. Madam Luo also said sothing, but the howling of the servants and Qi Chuan’s cry were too loud, so others couldn’t hear her. On the other side, Ning Yuan greeted ng Ying and Feng Yang. Then they turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall.
Madam Luo looked anxious. She turned around to grab the glazed lantern in Pu Gongying’s hand and slamd it on the ground. She shouted, like firecrackers exploded from her lungs, “I’m not dead yet, but you start wailing! Sun iniang, how dare you make a show of authority? I entertained the distinguished guests all day, but you offended them with a few words! You teach the servants in front of the whole family. What do you an?”
Madam Luo’s stringency instantly shocked everyone, and the three people who were about to walk out of the ancestral hall also stopped. Feng Yang turned around and smiled, “Madam Luo, don’t worry. We are just looking for a place to shelter from the rain.”
“Open the middle door of the ancestral hall!” Madam Luo hurriedly ordered the servants, “Who has the key to the ancestral hall? Open the door lock of the ancestral hall and invite three distinguished guests to go into it! Co on! Everyone, let’s go. In the face of our ancestors, we settle the deal of Luo’s Family.”
A fat middle-aged man ran up with the key, shouting, “Here… Here is the person who set the fire!”
Following him, so people escorted a tied girl in blue clothes. Everyone could not see the girl’s face clearly because of the lighting and angle, but Sun iniang laughed proudly, “Slap her thirty tis to teach her a lesson! Set fire? Huh, people who set fire in ancient tis would be stripped and paraded!”
Pu Gongying behind Madam Luo suddenly rushed over to stand in front of the girl with open arms, and cried, “Madam Luo, help! Second Mistress Luo, please spare her, for the sake of the dead Gan Cao!”
