Luo Ran didn't know when the person outside the door left. When she remembered, he had already disappeared. This person always came and went without a trace, and she was used to it, so she didn't take it seriously.
Luo Ran was really startled when he saw Aunt Shi coming in with something, and looked at Yuan Shuyi in surprise: "This, this is..."
Yuan Shuyi felt a little uncomfortable on his face, and commanded Aunt Shi as if to avoid her: "Go and put your things in the east wing. I'll sleep with Qing Ning these days."
Luo Ran didn't stop him, and motioned with his eyes to Youqing to help.
After everyone went out, Luo Ran took her hand and sat down, asking with concern: "But my father made you angry?"
Obviously favoring Yuan Shuyi.
Yuan Shuyi felt warm in his heart, but he was like a child who had done something wrong. He lowered his head in frustration and twisted the handkerchief in his hand, and whispered: "It was me, I scolded Mr. Hou."
"What?"
Luo Ran almost thought there was something wrong with his ears, so he asked again uncertainly.
Yuan Shuyi frowned even more tightly, closed his eyes and said, "Yes, I scolded Mr. Hou."
"you you……"
Luo Ran was speechless.
It wasn't that she was worried about her father, but she really didn't expect that Yuan Shuyi, who had always been so gentle, would actually curse? Although I have seen her confronting the old lady for her own sake, it can't be said to be scolding.
What's more, her father looks very fierce. Although Yuan Shuyi usually tries to pretend to be calm, every time she is with her father, Luo Ran will find that Yuan Shuyi is actually very nervous, and her eyes are always observing her father's expression unconsciously.
Yuan Shuyi looked at Luo Ran's surprised expression before he could put it away, turned around and held Luo Ran's hand, his voice almost crying: "I, I didn't mean it. I left you just now, and the more I think about it, the more angry I am. It's good that the Li family is the old lady's natal family, but we can't bully you like this. So, I couldn't control it for a moment..."
"You just scolded my father?"
Luo Ran continued.
Yuan Shuyi closed his eyes and nodded.
"Pfft! Cluck, cluck..."
Luo Ran finally couldn't help it, covered his mouth and laughed out loud.
Yuan Shuyi looked at Luo Ran who almost fell down from laughter with a grimace. Suddenly he started laughing too, and said angrily, "I don't care, now I see your father's legs are weak, you must take me in these days!"
It has to be said that just a few months after she married into the Luo family, she didn't know whether it was because of the support of a man behind her, or because she was always with Luo Ran, and she became more and more lively.
"Okay, okay, you can stay as long as you want!"
After laughing enough, Luo Ran replied. She didn't believe her father could bear it!
Sure enough, during dinner, Yuan Shuyi and Luo Ran were having dinner when they heard the voice of greeting at the door.
Yuan Shuyi was so frightened that he almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand.
Luo Ran hurriedly patted her hand to comfort her: "Don't be afraid."
As soon as he stood up, Luo Deyun strode in with his hands behind his back. When he saw the table full of delicacies, his eyebrows moved, but because there was another person behind him, he did not speak.
Luo Ran smiled and saluted: "Dad, little uncle."
As expected, Yuan Zhengbai blushed when he heard the words "little uncle", but when he saw his eldest sister, he sighed maturely and said with a serious and still childish face: "Niece, you don't have to be polite."
Then a pair of eyes stared at Yuan Shuyi.
Yuan Shuyi originally felt guilty when he saw Luo Deyun coming in. When he saw his brother's eyes, he was a little unhappy and raised his chin as if to show off: "Why is Zheng Bai here again? Didn't you say something happened in the academy?"
During the day, Yuan Zhengbai left after the 100-day ceremony, so he didn't know what happened next. He heard his father mention it after returning home and felt worried, so he found an excuse to come and take a look.
Yuan Zhengbai glanced at Luo Deyun and said, "Well, the matter is done. I came in a hurry during the day and left some gifts behind. I brought them to Qingning and Jing Xing now."
When Yuan Shuyi heard this, he immediately walked out and said as he walked: "What gift? I will take you to give it to Ning'er to see if she likes it."
When he passed by Luo Deyun, his arm was suddenly pulled, but he let go in just a moment. He heard a voice above his head: "Don't worry, Zhengbai hasn't eaten yet, and there are no outsiders. Let's come together."
Yuan Shuyi looked at Luo Ran as if asking for help.
Luo Ran pretended not to see it. She specially ordered the kitchen to prepare two more dishes tonight, and she guessed that her father would definitely come, and sure enough.
I just didn't expect Yuan Zhengbai to come too, so he asked Youqing to add two more dishes, and then called everyone to sit down: "Dad, uncle, please sit down. Mother, let's finish the meal first and then look at what uncle brought. Give it a gift.”
Yuan Shuyi had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down.
Luo Deyun sat in the main seat, with Yuan Shuyi and Luo Ran on both sides, and Yuan Zhengbai sat opposite.
This was the first time Luo Ran had dinner with Yuan Zhengbai, because he always regarded him as his little brother. Although he called him uncle, he looked at him the same as Jing Xing.
Yuan Zhengbai was the same. He regarded Luo Ran as his niece in his heart, and because she was the county head, he kept close to her while deliberately keeping a distance.
On the other hand, Yuan Shuyi was the most uncomfortable person on the table.
Because today is the 100-day banquet for the young lady and the young master, many dishes are well prepared in the kitchen, and the food will be served soon.
Luo Deyun said: "Let's eat."
Yuan Shuyi immediately picked up the bowl and wanted to finish it as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, a bowl of soup suddenly appeared in front of him. He raised his head and saw Luo Deyun looking at her with a smile: "Two juniors are here. Look at you, why are you in such a hurry? Look, let’s drink some soup first to warm our stomach.”
"Cough, cough, cough cough cough..."
In the past, when the two of them ate, Yuan Shuyi would wait on him. Most of the time, they would eat their own food in silence. After the meal, they would chat more symbolically, which was nothing more than matters in the house and matters related to Luo Ran. With two children, we rarely get so close.
But just as he said, Luo Ran and Zheng Bai were still watching. Yuan Shuyi could not stand the fright and kept coughing.
Luo Deyun acted as if nothing was wrong. He patted her back gently with his big hand and said dotingly: "You are such a big person, why are you so careless? Lu Rong, give Madam a glass of warm water!"
After drinking water, Yuan Shuyi felt much better.
Luo Ran watched the two of them get along and felt happy for his father. After all these years, he finally saw his father acting like a normal person. He was not only a Marquis and a father, but also a husband.
After dinner, Yuan Shuyi was pulled aside by Yuan Zhengbai for an excuse to talk.
Luo Ran and Luo Deyun stood in the house, looking at their siblings standing under the tree through the window lattice.
Yuan Zhengbai had a serious face, frowning and didn't know what he was talking about, while Yuan Shuyi lowered his head and looked like he was listening humbly. Compared with before, the two siblings were completely different.
Luo Ran turned around and saw that his father was still looking outside, and said with a smile: "I heard that dad was scolded today?"
Luo Deyun withdrew his gaze and looked at his daughter. Seeing that there was nothing in her eyes but a smile, he also smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sometimes she is extremely timid, and sometimes she is extremely courageous."
Luo Ran tilted his head and asked, "Does Daddy like it?"
Luo Deyun smiled: "Whatever you like or dislike, just live a comfortable life as two people."
Comfort, isn't it just that we like each other but don't know it?
That night, Yuan Shuyi did not rest in Ningxiang Garden. She was scolded by her younger brother. She also watched helplessly as Lord Destiny moved her things back, so she had no choice but to follow behind him, as if she was being scolded by her parents after making a mistake. Bring home the kids.
