"Miss, you are here."
Qingshan, the boy beside Luo Deyun, saw her coming and hurriedly saluted and said hello.
Luo Ran nodded and glanced at the closed door: "Is daddy busy?"
Just as Qingshan was about to reply, the door opened from the inside, and Luo Deyun came out with a gloomy face.
He was holding a fine silk handkerchief and wiping his fingers little by little. There were blood stains on them.
Luo Ran's heart tightened and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Dad, what's wrong with your hand?"
Luo Deyun hid for a moment, frowned and said, "Don't touch it, it's dirty."
He looked at Qingshan again: "Pack away those things inside. Remember, say hello to the old lady before throwing them away."
Qingshan responded and turned around to enter the study.
Luo Ran poked his head to look: "Dad, what is it?"
After finishing her words, before Luo Deyun could cover her eyes, she saw Qingshan dragging a person out like a dog to death.
When going down the steps, the covering on the man's face was suddenly blown off by the wind, revealing a swollen face.
Even with just one glance, Luo Ran recognized it: Xiangmei!
"She..." Luo Ran covered her mouth in horror, why was Xiangmei here with her father?
Luo Deyun glanced at Qingshan dissatisfied.
Qingshan hurriedly covered the man again, carried him on his shoulders, jumped up the wall in a few steps, and disappeared.
Luo Deyun glanced at his daughter worriedly, and saw only surprise in her eyes, not fear or dissatisfaction with him. He nodded secretly and said, "Come in with me."
Only then did Luo Ran realize that Xiangmei had really fallen into Fu Jinan's hands. After being tortured, he returned her, along with Xiangmei's confession.
Out of caution, Luo Deyun also interrogated him again. It was no different from what was stated on the paper, so he took action to deal with Xiangmei.
Then he explained to Luo Ran: "No matter who instructs her, she can't keep the things she betrayed. Just like you said, your second aunt won't admit it with just a few words. It's better to deal with it and let your grandmother know at the same time. , which will save her from getting into trouble with you because of this maid in the future."
Luo Ran smiled, turned around and walked to the basin to wet the handkerchief, wiped the stains on his father's hands with his own hands, and whispered: "Dad, thank you."
Thank you for thinking of everything for your daughter.
She is not afraid that her grandmother will have a problem with her, and she doesn't care about her second wife. She just wants her father to live a good life.
Luo Deyun raised his hand and wanted to touch his daughter's head, but when he saw his hand stopped again, he smiled and said, "Silly boy, I am your father. How can I say thank you?"
Luo Ran ignored his father's dodge, took his hand, put it on his face, and rubbed it gently: "Dad, please marry me a stepmother."
Luo Deyun frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about! Did someone tell you what you said? Ran'er, you..."
Luo Ran shook his head: "Dad, listen to me. I didn't listen to what others said. I thought about it myself."
She wanted her father to come back after a hard day's work, to have someone in the room who wanted to help her, and to have someone succeed her, instead of letting her father earn the title he had worked so hard for and end up taking advantage of others.
Luo Deyun nodded happily: "Okay, daddy knows. Don't think so much now. Just settle down and wait for the marriage. We can talk about the rest later."
Luo Ran lowered her eyebrows. She didn't say that she didn't plan to marry anyone in her life, especially the Fu family!
Since that day, Mr. Li has become ill, and so has the old lady.
Mr. Li felt sorry for Yinzi's disease, and the old lady was really frightened by Qingshan.
Neither of them could tell the public about their illness, so they could only say that they were infected with cold.
The first month had not yet come out, and there was no one in the house to take charge, so we had to invite the third lady who was about to give birth. Luo Ran assisted, and finally the first month was fooled.
The next day is February 2nd. After February 2nd, this year will be completely over.
Luo Ran helped the third aunt to go to the kitchen and told them about the food to be prepared tomorrow, and also told the nuns what they should pay attention to. When he felt that there was nothing left behind, he turned around and came out.
Not far away, he saw Luo Ruxue, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten days, standing on the garden path, obviously waiting for him.
Luo Ran walked over with a normal expression, but when he was about to pass Luo Ruxue, he was stopped.
She looked at the hand holding her arm, then looked up at the face, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but my second sister's face has improved a lot."
Luo Ruxue touched her face, took her arm affectionately, and shook it coquettishly: "Sister, you are so cruel. You haven't come to see me for so long. Xue'er thought you didn't like me anymore!"
Luo Ran smiled and said deliberately: "How could it be? My sister is so cute, who wouldn't like her?"
Luo Ruxue pretended not to hear the meaning of her words, and remained as close as before: "Good sister, I'm here to ask. Next month is my hair extension ceremony, so sister, please do your best!"
Luo Ran slowly pulled his arm back and said calmly: "My sister is worrying too much. My grandmother and my second aunt are almost in good health. My sister's gift of hair extensions is naturally accompanied by my second aunt. How can others rest assured?"
Luo Ruxue was stunned: "It's better to have my mother here, so that my sister doesn't have to be so tired."
Luo Ran nodded: "Since my sister is fine, I will go back first."
"elder sister!"
Luo Ruxue stopped her again and stopped talking.
Luo Ran didn't ask, just looked at her quietly.
In the end, Luo Ruxue had no choice but to say: "Sister, I think the ruby gold hairpin you wore during the Chinese New Year is very beautiful. Can you give it to me as a hairpin gift?"
"No! It was a gift from the emperor and cannot be given away casually."
Luo Ran simply refused.
Luo Ruxue obviously didn't expect that she was so disrespectful and was rejected in public, and she looked a little bad for a moment.
"Didn't my sister give me the emperor's reward before? Why not this time?"
"You also said that was before. I was young and ignorant before. Now that I have grown up, since my sister mentioned it, then give me everything back."
Luo Ran looked at Luo Ruxue with tears in her eyes. Sure enough, she looked at her from the previous life. Whenever something didn't suit her, she would be like this now, whether to cry or not, as if she was the most wronged person in the world.
Looking at it now, Luo Ran felt a sense of relief in his heart: "Youqing, you can go with the second lady later and get everything back."
"Don't spread it out then and say that my sister is short-sighted and keeps looking at her things."
Luo Ran turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ruxue suddenly rushed up from behind, grabbed Luo Ran's wrist, and shouted incoherently: "Sister, I am doing this for your own good, why don't you listen to my advice!"
Luo Ran frowned and felt a heartbreaking pain in his wrist. He had no time to think so much and instinctively waved away: "Let go! I don't know what you are talking about!"
Then I heard Luo Ruxue scream, her whole body was like a butterfly, her arms drew a graceful arc in the air, and then she fell to the ground. Regardless of the embarrassment on her body, she was still trying to persuade her in pain: "Sister, I really want to do this for you." hello!"
Luo Ran's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, there was a rush of footsteps behind her, and a tall figure passed by her and rushed to Luo Ruxue.
"Xue'er, how are you? Let me see!"
"Xue'er! You're bleeding!"
Her voice was trembling because of worry.
Luo Ran, who was on the side, was accidentally bumped by the man as he passed by. If it weren't for the big hand that appeared on her waist in time, she would have fallen into a bush full of thorns. She was scared just thinking about it.
