Luo Hongxian didn't like this cousin either, but he didn't dare to avoid her hand, so he could only stare at her and eat the cake with his head down.
Luo Ran responded lightly.
Li Xinyue seemed even more enthusiastic, and leaned forward again, saying: "I heard from my uncle last night that the emperor praised Mr. Shen in front of all the officials, and they all said that he was the one who won the first place in the examination this time. "
"Yeah." Luo Ran responded again.
"Then did your grandma's family say when they would treat guests?" Li Xinyue continued to ask.
Luo Ran finally looked up at her and said, "Why do you want to treat us?"
Li Xinyue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Oh! I know, I must wait until Mr. Shen wins the first prize before treating me? Don't forget to send me a message then! I haven't seen the first prize yet!"
Luo Ran said no more.
Luo Rudie whispered something to the side, but no one heard it clearly.
Everyone sat for a while and then all stood up to say goodbye.
As soon as I left the house, I heard the crackling of firecrackers on the street.
Li Xinyue frowned: "What day? Set off firecrackers early in the morning."
Luo Rudie said deliberately: "Oh, are you going to try to release the results?"
Li Xinyue looked at Luo Ran in surprise.
Luo Ran shook his head and said he didn't know.
After a while, Chunyu ran in and said, "Miss, miss, the test results are released! Mr. Biao won the first place!"
Although he had known the result for a long time, Luo Ran couldn't help but be happy. Seeing that Li Xinyue wanted to talk to him, Luo Ran hurried away and said as he walked: "Go and tell someone to tell dad. Also, are you ready with the gift for your cousin..."
The sound gradually disappeared at the door.
Luo Ruxue looked at the red-faced Li Xinyue and said, "Eldest sister's cousin got hit, why is my cousin so happy?"
Li Xinyue said shyly: "We are all relatives, shouldn't we be happy?"
When everyone was gone and only the old lady was left in the room, she looked at Nanny Du calmly and said, "What happened at the door this morning?"
Aunt Du's eyes flashed, and she laughed dryly: "It's nothing, it's just that my cousin wanted to make you a pot of tea, and happened to meet the Marquis on his way out, so we almost bumped into him."
The old lady looked at her for a few breaths. It wasn't until there were beads of sweat on Mammy Du's forehead that she looked away and suddenly asked, "How long have you been with me?"
Grandma Du's heart tightened and she said, "To tell the old lady, it's been almost thirty years."
The old lady nodded: "Yes, it's almost thirty years. How many more thirty years can you and I live? If you don't want to change masters, don't get involved in the big house."
When Aunt Du heard this, she knelt down and cried: "Old Madam..."
The old lady waved her hand: "You don't need to tell me that. I know that the second family has helped you a lot these years, so I turn a blind eye to whatever you do, but I am not blind. The master's business, It’s not your turn as a slave to intervene.”
Aunt Du was trembling all over and didn't dare to argue anymore: "Yes, I know I was wrong."
The old lady said: "Now that you know your mistake, go back and reflect for a few days and think about what to do in the future. Leave everything in your hands to Xia Fang."
"Yes. Old slave, I obey."
Aunt Du glanced at Xia Fang.
Xia Fang lowered her eyes, held the old lady's arm, and said softly: "Old lady, please slow down."
Before Luo Ran could reach his yard, he saw a thin figure standing not far away.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and smiled softly, coming towards her.
"Ran'er!"
Song Qingyou stepped forward and looked at her tenderly.
Luo Ran was a little helpless, thinking about how to explain it to him clearly. The two grew up together, not as siblings but as siblings.
For two lives, Luo Ran knew that he was engaged since he was a child, and Song Qingyou also knew about it. Therefore, the two have always treated each other like brothers and sisters. There are no more rules in Jiangnan than in the capital. In the past, the two of them were young, so the male and female guards didn't care that much.
Later, as they grew older, the two deliberately kept their distance.
Just like in the previous life, except for the thoughts she had in her heart after her accident, they disappeared when she married into the Fu family. So she didn't seem to care that much about whether he believed in her or not.
In this life, when she saw him for the first time, it only reminded her of his words that he wanted to take her away before she died. She suddenly felt a little hope in her heart, but after asking, she gave up.
Song Qingyou didn't know what she was thinking. He only knew that now that she had broken off the engagement and he was in high school again, the distance between them was even closer.
"Ran'er, are you happy for me?"
Song Qingyou asked softly.
Luo Ran nodded: "Congratulations to Mr. Song for high school."
The two people were talking here, and Luo Ruxue saw it at a glance.
Since that day, Fu Shiheng has not contacted her for several days. Even if she asked someone to send him a letter, he wouldn't reply. At first, Luo Ruxue lied to herself that Fu Shiheng was threatened by Duke Jing and his uncle that day, so he did not dare to say that he liked her.
But so many days have passed, Luo Ran's marriage has been cancelled, and he is still hiding from her, so she feels a little flustered.
At this time, I saw that after Luo Ran broke off the engagement, there was still a cousin who was pregnant with Hui Yuan, and now there was a childhood sweetheart from high school, and I suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Sister Li Xinyue happened to be passing by. She stopped the two of them and pointed not far away with her chin: "Did you see it?"
Following her gaze, she saw two people standing under the shadow of the tree. The man was as gentle and gentle as jade, and the woman had an alluring appearance and graceful figure. No matter how you looked at them, they were right.
Li Xinyue suddenly changed the two people in front of her to herself and Mr. Shen. The more she thought about it, the more beautiful she felt, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Luo Ruxue glanced at her nymphomaniac look with disdain and said deliberately: "Hey, big sister, your life is really good."
"Um."
Li Xinyue was still imagining how she and Mr. Shen would look in front of and under the moon, so she responded perfunctorily.
Luo Ruxue looked around and saw no one, so she whispered: "Did you know that my grandmother wants to marry my eldest sister to Mr. Shen, the same Mr. Shen who just won the first prize!"
Li Xinyue finally came to her senses and screamed in a low voice: "Isn't that her cousin?"
Luo Ruxue was surprised: "That's my cousin. Cousin and cousin, what a perfect match."
Li Xinyue said angrily: "Luo Ran broke off the engagement, how can she be worthy of Mr. Shen?"
Luo Ruxue curled her lips: "What are you afraid of when you break off the engagement? We haven't gotten married yet. Even if we get married, if the Shen family is willing and my uncle is willing, who can do anything?"
When Li Xinyue heard this, it turned out that Luo Deyun was using his status as a marquis to force Shen Yuzhi to marry Luo Ran.
"How could they do this? Isn't this bullying others?"
Li Xinyue blushed with anger.
Luo Ruxue deliberately said nonchalantly: "What can you do if you use your power to bully others? This is the capital, and my uncle is deeply trusted by the emperor. Let alone bullying others, he is not afraid of anything no matter how big it is."
Then he looked in the direction of Luo Ran and said, "Hey! Look, even though my eldest sister broke off the engagement, she doesn't feel ashamed at all. There are still so many people who like her!"
Li Xinyue looked at Luo Ran again, as if looking at an enemy: "Who is that person next to her?"
