In fact, Yuan Shuyi would think of herself every time she saw Luo Ran, but she also felt that Ranran was luckier than herself. At least she had a father who loved her so much.
Therefore, even for that man's kindness to her, she was willing to protect his daughter like him. What's more, this girl's life was worse than her own.
When the old lady heard that Yuan Shuyi didn't even call her mother, but directly called the old lady, she became even more angry: "Okay, okay, are you going to rebel one by one?"
Luo Ran didn't want Yuan Shuyi to gain a reputation as unfilial just a few days after she got married.
Standing straight in front of the old lady, he bowed and said sonorously: "Grandma, I have decided to adopt two children. No matter what anyone says, I will not change it. If you really think that I have brought shame to the Hou family, At worst, I’ll take the kids and move out!”
"Who dares!"
Luo Deyun came in with a solemn expression and said in a loud voice: "I want to see who dares to let my Ranran move out today!"
"you you……"
The old lady was also a little scared when she saw Luo Deyun's expression as if he was about to kill someone.
"Daddy!"
Just as Luo Ran was about to speak, Luo Deyun patted her on the shoulder, but saw her blink unconsciously.
Luo Deyun's eyes darkened and he whispered: "If you have anything to say, tell me later."
Then he turned around and said to Qingshan: "Go and call everyone in the mansion to receive the order."
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
The two brothers Luo Dewen and Luo Decheng also ran back panting. It was such a cold winter and they were sweating on their foreheads. As soon as they came back, they couldn't care less and asked, "What's going on? What's the imperial edict?"
Both of them were still in the Yamen when someone came and told them to come back to receive the imperial edict. They were so frightened that they didn't dare to delay and hurried back without stopping.
Upon hearing the imperial edict, everyone in the room was stunned.
The old lady didn't care that she had just been shocked by her eldest son's eyes, and asked in confusion: "Imperial decree?"
He didn't know whether Luo Deyun had no time to explain or simply didn't want to talk to them. He only glanced at his daughter worriedly.
Luo Ran understood his father's worry and said hurriedly: "Dad, I'm fine. Thanks to my mother."
Still added.
Yuan Shuyi felt even more guilty and knew that this was not the time to be polite, so he came up and took Luo Ran's arm and said, "Please bear with me for now. The doctor is waiting in the yard. We will go back after receiving the order."
Luo Deyun then turned around and went out. The two Luo Dewen brothers each looked at their wives and followed them out.
Mrs. Li was also curious, but due to the rules, she could only come over and help Mrs. Cao to the yard together.
After coming out, Luo Ran realized that there was another figure in the yard, and he frowned unconsciously.
Fu Jinan also pretended not to see her and lowered his head to adjust his official uniform.
The long shadow on the side couldn't help but look at the sky: Sir, can you stop pretending! Who is it, who broke into the palace early in the morning, relying on the emperor's favor, before the palace doors were opened, and suffered thirty blows, just to ask for such an imperial edict?
He even insisted on coming to announce the decree in person, regardless of his own injuries.
Why! They say women are always telling the truth, and they adults are even worse!
Except for Luo Deyun, everyone else was so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe when they saw that it was not the palace servant who came to announce the decree, but the commander.
There is a rumor in Beijing: I would rather have the God of Plague come to my house as a guest than Master Fu to come to announce the good news.
Jinyiwei, who has been involved in the crime, will lose his official position at the slightest, and will confiscate his family and exterminate his clan at the worst.
The house of the Champion Marquis is not a bad thing. The Champion Marquis got married a few days ago, and the commanding officer came to congratulate her, which shocked a group of people's jaws.
When the Luo Dewen brothers went to the Yamen in the past few days, they could feel that everyone wanted to walk around them. Now that they came to announce the order, Luo Dewen's legs were weak and he knelt down before anyone could tell him to start.
"father!"
Entering the twelfth lunar month, the academy had a holiday. Luo Hongjun was too cold and didn't want to come to say hello, so he hid in the yard and pretended to be sick. Unexpectedly, he was picked up before he even woke up. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw his father kneeling down first, and he couldn't help but call out.
Luo Dewen pulled him over and shouted: "Kneel down!"
Luo Hongjun looked at his uncle and the commander, and shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.
Luo Deyun ignored him. When he saw that the people had almost arrived and the incense table was set up, he said, "Master Fu, you can start."
Fu Jinan looked at Luo Ran for the first time since he came in, with a proud smile on his lips. He turned around and took the Minghuang imperial edict that Changying held in his arms, preparing to declare it.
When Luo Ran saw his smile, he somehow thought of the two children, and thought of the figure walking away with his sleeves last night, and his heart beat loudly.
Suddenly she felt a little regretful: Could this person really use the imperial edict to snatch the child from her?
Without giving her a chance to think too much, everyone had already knelt down and Luo Ran had no choice but to follow suit, but his eyes were fixed on the figure in front of him.
Feeling Luo Ran's gaze, Fu Jin'an became more unhurried and unrolled the scroll bit by bit. He read it once before turning to ask Luo Deyun, who was already kneeling and ready: "Master Hou, can we start?"
Luo Deyun: Didn't you see how long I have been kneeling?
But he still nodded: "Well, Mr. Fu, let's declare the decree."
Fu Jinan: "Okay then. Ahem..."
Luo Ran's heart was in his throat and he was ready when he saw the man coughing non-stop.
The long shadow on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and he nodded apologetically to Luo Deyun: "Don't blame me, Lord Marquis. Your Excellency has been busy these days and hasn't had a good rest, and he's a bit infected with the cold."
Luo Deyun nodded and motioned to Qingshan.
Soon Qingshan brought a cup of tea, Fu Jinan took a sip and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Everyone was helpless.
There must be no one in the world except the person in front of me who dares to be so casual when announcing the decree.
Finally, Fu Jin'an was almost done, and then he spoke slowly: "By God's decree, the emperor decreed that there is a daughter of the Luo family, Ran, who is beautiful and intelligent, who cares about the people of the Jin Dynasty, who can abandon her own interests and raise the orphans of soldiers, etc. Such an act of righteousness is truly rare, and I am very pleased. I specially made him the county lord, with the title of Shanning, and a settlement of 500 households. I admire this!"
It wasn't until the top of his head was covered by shadows and the bright yellow imperial edict fell solidly into his hands that Luo Ran came back to his senses, slowly raised his head and stared blankly at the man in front of him.
Fu Jin'an bent over, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or not. When handing over the imperial edict, he accidentally touched Luo Ran's hand. He shook it weakly and reminded him with a smile in his eyes: "Master Shanning, take the imperial edict, but Don’t drop it.”
Luo Ran looked at him, then looked down at the imperial edict, feeling as if he was in a dream.
Can she really raise two children openly?
No need to be pointed at or hidden?
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Luo Deyun was the first to react and led everyone to thank him in unison.
The sound that echoed throughout the Hou Mansion finally brought Luo Ran back to his senses, and his eyes became moist unconsciously.
Seeing her cute and cute look, Fu Jinan felt extremely comfortable. If he hadn't taken into account the inappropriate situation, he would have pressed the person into his arms and got close to her.
Luo Ran was immersed in joy when he heard a whisper in his ear: "How can I be willing to let you and your child be in disgrace?"
