Although Chun Yu was also scared, after all, she was not in the room just now, and she was not in such close contact with that person, so it was relatively better. He cheered up and kneaded Luo Ran's trembling legs. Neither the master nor the servant spoke anymore.
Luo Ran closed his eyes and thought about what happened these days, and found that things were increasingly different from what he imagined.
She wasn't worried if he found out about Jinxiutang. What worried her most was the man's moody attitude.
Back at the mansion, it was just about noon when Luo Ran remembered that he had ordered the kitchen to stew ginseng soup for his father in the morning, so he asked someone to get it while he went back to the house to bathe and change clothes.
After taking a bath, Luo Ran finally felt much more comfortable all over, and the feeling of being licked by a poisonous snake was much lighter.
Every time she interacts with that person, she doesn't get any benefits, so it's better to stay away from him in the future.
But there's one thing she doesn't understand now: why Princess Fang, the Duke of Jingguo's wife, mentioned the marriage to the Queen Mother.
Is it just to embarrass him?
After all, she knew in her last life that Mrs. Fang simply regarded Fu Jinan as a thorn in her side, even though her son was already the heir apparent. After the death of Duke Jingguo, Fu Shiheng became the Duke of Jingguo as he wished, but Mrs. Fang still tried every means to kill him. , it just fails every time.
He couldn't figure it out, so he put it aside for the time being. Just as Zi Fu came back from the kitchen with ginseng soup, Luo Ran asked: "Do you know if my father is in the house?"
Zifu replied: "I just asked you. The Marquis just came back not long ago and he didn't have lunch."
Luo Ran said: "In that case, let the kitchen send my share to daddy. I will have lunch with daddy today."
Zifu agreed, then suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, miss, when I went to the kitchen to get ginseng soup, I happened to meet Miss Mei."
The girl named Mei in Zifu's mouth is Liu's cousin - Liu Mei. Because everyone didn't know how to call her, they just called her Miss Mei, separate from the other cousins.
Because of his experience in the previous life, Luo Ran naturally knew the plans of his second aunt and his family, so he ordered people to pay attention to Liu Mei's every move. When he heard Zi Fu's words, he knew that she still had something to say.
Sure enough, Zifu continued: "Miss Mei saw the food box in the slave's hand and asked specifically what was inside. The slave only said it was the ginseng soup you drank, miss, and said nothing else."
Luo Ran said: "Well, you did a good job."
After packing up, Luo Ran took Youqing and Zifu to Qionghuayuan. That was the courtyard where my father and mother used to get married, and it was located on the east side of the Hou Mansion.
When Luo Ran arrived, she saw her father standing under the big locust tree and looking up. When he heard the movement, he turned his head and waved to her with surprise: "Ranran, come here quickly. Take a look at this locust flower. Is it right?" Is it going to open?"
Luo Ranming Youqing took the food box into the house, walked up to his father, looked up, and said with a smile: "Dad, it's only late March, and it will take nearly a month to open. What did you see just now?" It’s the leaves.”
Luo Deyun shook his head: "No, no, I can still distinguish leaves and buds. Your mother said that locust flowers only bloom in June, July or even autumn, so it seems that it is not impossible to bloom earlier."
This locust tree was planted by her father and mother when they first got married, and it is now older than her.
Luo Ran looked at his father's profile and whispered: "Dad, do you miss your mother?"
The smile on Luo Deyun's face disappeared little by little.
Luo Ran sighed and saw her father looking at her with a smile again, but this smile was a little heavier than before.
"Ranran, when we went to court in the morning, your uncle told my father about the Yuan family."
Luo Deyun's big hands touched his daughter's delicate bun. He remembered that his wife's hair was also dark and smooth, and his daughter followed her.
Luo Ran held the big hand with both hands, thought for a moment and said, "Dad, don't be afraid, Miss Yuan is very good, you will like her."
A bitter smile flashed across the corner of Luo Deyun's mouth: "You kid, are you treating your father like a child? But my father is already so old and has long since lost his thoughts. As long as she can keep her peace and manage the inner courtyard well, , I will be content if I don’t let my Ran’er work so hard.”
Luo Ran didn't know how to persuade his father, so he could only hope that Yuan Shuyi would please his father.
Luo Deyun continued: "Don't worry about this matter. You don't know what to do. Go talk to your grandmother and dad."
Luo Ran nodded: "Okay. Dad, I asked someone to make ginseng soup specially for you. Let's have dinner together at noon today, okay?"
Luo Deyun was also very happy: "Of course, dad has been busy recently, and I don't even remember how long it has been since I last accompanied my Ranran. In this way, if the weather is good in a few days, dad will take you out for a walk. After you return to Beijing, you haven't done much. Went out."
"Okay! It's a deal! Daddy, don't go back on your word!"
Luo Ran tilted his head and said coquettishly.
Luo Deyun laughed loudly: "You clever guy, when did daddy lie to you?"
The father and daughter were talking and laughing, and Liu Mei stood at the door with eyes full of envy.
"Miss Mei?"
Qingshan, the boy beside Luo Deyun, helped Youqing prepare the food. As soon as he came out, he saw Liu Mei standing at the door of the courtyard and shouted loudly.
Liu Mei wore a cherry pink dress today with a full-moon yellow slanted blouse underneath. Although the material of the dress was just ordinary brocade and the style was from last year, she has the kind of appearance that looks like Xiaojiabiyu. With this The clothes she wears are more like those of ordinary girls, not so gorgeous, but with a different kind of kindness.
Luo Deyun has lived in the court for a long time, and he has never seen anyone. He immediately understood what she meant from her shy and evasive eyes. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a cold and distant voice: "You What are you here for?"
If Liu Mei was initially attracted by Luo Deyun's identity and majestic appearance, then after seeing his other warm face, she couldn't help but fall in love with him.
She blessed her body slightly, revealing a touch of white neck, and said softly: "The slave family heard that the eldest lady is here and knows that the eldest lady has been unwell recently, so they specially prepared some food from home, which will help digestion and improve appetite."
Either way, this Liu Mei is also somewhat smart. If she came directly to deliver things to Luo De, she would definitely be kicked out by Qingshan before she even came in.
But it's different now. She's here to deliver something to the eldest lady, and even the doorman doesn't dare to stop her.
"Daddy."
Seeing his father's hesitation, Luo Ran whispered.
Luo Deyun nodded appeasingly, then raised his head and looked at Liu Mei and said, "I understand your kindness. As for the food, you should take it back."
Although it was a rejection, his tone was much softer than just now.
Liu Mei didn't bother her, and she was blessed again. She handed the food box to the boy guarding the door, and without taking a step forward, she said: "Miss, take a look at it. You can eat what you want. It doesn't matter if you don't want to." , I will not disturb the Marquis and the eldest lady while they are eating."
After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
