Chapter 11: The Victim
There is a lot of water in the south, although Luo Chen was raised in his grandfather's house due to his frailty, he has four cousins, and he has the opportunity to go into the water.
To say that you are proficient in water, there is none.
Immersed in the lake water of early spring, Luo Chen felt a sense of despair, powerless to stop his body from sinking.
The sudden thrust made him subconsciously open his eyes, and the girl's porcelain-white face loomed in the mist.
Luo Chen wanted to say something, but his lips moved and he choked on a mouthful of water, and when he was dragged ashore by the red beans, he was already weak and coughed earth-shatteringly.
Soon Luo Sheng and Sheng Jialan were rescued one after another.
Luo Sheng was rescued by a woman with a long face, and it was Sheng Saburo who rescued Sheng Jialan.
After Sheng Saburo dragged Sheng Jialan ashore, he saw that she was fine, so he immediately handed over the person to the maid on the side, and instructed the people who surrounded the lake: "Quickly send the second girl and the cousin back to the house to change clothes, and ask the doctor to come to the cousin's room!" β
After saying this, he bent down and picked up Luo Chen, who was coughing, and ran away without a trace.
The movement of Luo Sheng and Sheng Jialan falling into the water soon spread throughout the Sheng Mansion.
A maid wearing a cyan armor walked into Sheng Jiayu's boudoir quickly, and said urgently: "Big girl, the second girl and the cousin girl have fallen into the water!" β
Sheng Jiayu was bored embroidering because she didn't make an appointment with Sheng Jialan to visit the fat powder shop today, and when she heard the words, she threw away the embroidered bandage and got up: "What about them?" β
The girl in Tsing Yi replied: "After the two girls changed their clothes, they were called to Funing Hall by the old ladyββ"
Sheng Jiayu couldn't listen to it, and rushed to Funing Hall with the corner of her skirt.
In the courtyard of Funing Hall, the four Sheng Dalang brothers arrived one step ahead of Sheng Jiayu and were standing next to the orange tree and whispering.
"As soon as I heard that the second sister and Cousin Luo fell into the lake, they were in a hurry, and when I saw that my cousin had jumped down to save Cousin Luo, I hurriedly rescued the second sister." Sheng Saburo talked about the thrill just now, and his face was a little ugly.
Sheng Erlang frowned: "So, the second sister and Cousin Luo were already in the lake when you arrived?" β
"yes."
Sheng Erlang glanced at the door of the house and sneered: "The second sister is really unfavorable. β
Sheng Saburo didn't understand too much, and wiped his face: "What does this mean by second brother?" β
On the side, Sheng Dalang disagreed: "Second brother, second sister and Cousin Luo are being questioned by grandmother, and the matter has not been clarified yet, don't talk nonsense." β
Sheng Erlang pursed his lips: "Whether it's nonsense or not, I'll know soon." β
Sheng Saburo reacted in hindsight and said in a lost voice: "Second brother, do you mean that the second sister was pushed down by Cousin Luo?" β
"Are you stupid?" Sheng Erlang knocked Sheng Saburo's head with a folding fan, and said angrily, "I don't know what it means, I have to shout." Let me ask you, if your cousin hadn't saved Cousin Luo at that time, which one would you save first after you jumped? β
Sheng Saburo was asked.
Sheng Erlang's question aroused the strong curiosity of Sheng Dalang and Sheng Shilang, and the three of them stared intently at Sheng Saburo and waited for the answer.
Sheng Saburo only felt the pressure like a mountain, and said, "I don't know ......"
"Don't know?" Sheng Erlang's voice raised slightly.
Sheng Saburo felt the contempt from his brother, and hurriedly explained: "A cousin, a cousin, this is not easy to choose, when I finish struggling, I will drown, I think which one is close to save it." β
Sheng Saburo felt that this answer was perfect, but he didn't expect to be hit by another folding fan.
"Of course it's to save the second sister!" Sheng Erlang taught his brother a tone of hatred that iron is not made of steel, "So many people rushed over and still let people drown?" If you pick up Cousin Luo in public, then your grandmother will find her grandson-in-law! β
Sheng Saburo opened his mouth wide: "Also, can it still be like this?" β
Sheng Erlang snorted coldly: "Maybe this is Cousin Luo's plan-"
Sheng Dalang frowned and interrupted Sheng Erlang's words: "Second brother, this is a bit excessive. β
Sheng Jiayu rushed into the courtyard like a gust of wind: "Big brother, second sister, are they inside?" β
Seeing Sheng Dalang and the others nodding, Sheng Jiayu hurriedly went up the steps and pushed the door in.
Sheng Shilang was young after all, and when he saw Sheng Jiayu entering, he couldn't help it, and whispered, "I'll go and hear what grandmother is talking about." β
Seeing that Sheng Shiro also ran away, Sheng Erlang said with a serious face: "How can a man listen to the wall, it's really not like words!" The eldest brother and the third brother will wait a minute, and I will bring the fourth brother back. β
Sheng Saburo looked at Sheng Erlang's back and touched his chin, and muttered, "I always feel that something is wrong......
Sheng Dalang shook his head and smiled, standing quietly beside the orange tree.
In the house, Hongdou pinched his waist with one hand, and was hurting Chen Shengjialan's crime: "Our girl told me to go back to the room to get some melon seeds, but I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived at the garden with melon seeds, I saw the second cousin girl pushing our girl down...... Mrs. Sheng, if you don't make the decision for our girl in this matter today, then I, I, I will pack up my baggage and go back to Beijing to tell the Metropolitan Governor! β
The little maid spoke quickly, and her words made Mrs. Sheng and the others cloudy.
Luo Sheng lowered his eyes and stood up, and sighed in his heart: The little girl is still simpler, how can she look like a bitter master if she is so fierce.
ButβLuo Sheng thought of himself and hooked the corners of his lips.
She is not the kind of person who cries and begs for sympathy when she is wronged, so it seems that their master and servant are quite compatible.
Under the intimidation of the red beans, Mrs. Sheng frowned and looked at Sheng Jialan.
Sheng Jialan, who had changed into a moon-white dress, had half wet black hair, and a few strands of green silk fell down against her cheeks, making her face more and more pale.
Sheng Jialan knelt down without waiting for Mrs. Sheng to speak, and said in a trembling voice: "It's all the granddaughter's fault, please punish your grandmother." β
Other than that, she didn't say a word, and trembled lightly with her forehead on the ground.
Hongdou raised his foot and kicked Sheng Jialan over, and said: "I'm sorry, what kind of weak and delicate flower are you pretending, watch me tear your mouth!" β
The little maid is not a person who just talks but doesn't do it, so she immediately rolled up her sleeves to tear the stunned Sheng Jialan.
Mrs. Sheng had never seen such a maid, and she didn't react for a while.
Luo Sheng pursed his thin lips lightly, with no intention of stopping it.
In the face of the victim, she doesn't mind charging some interest first.
"Stop!" A coquettish sound came, Sheng Jiayu rushed into the house and dragged away the red beans who unilaterally beat Sheng Jialan, pointed at Luo Sheng and scolded, "Luo Sheng, you have to put my second sister to death, right?" I've never seen anyone as vicious as you! β
Hongdou followed the previous Luo girl and even beat the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could she be afraid of Sheng Jiayu, and immediately picked up her fists and prepared to clean up this stronger cousin girl first.
Luo Sheng motioned for Hongdou to stop, and looked at Sheng Jiayu calmly: "Cousin didn't hear Hongdou's words?" It was Sheng Jialan who wanted to put people to death. β
Sheng Jiayu sneered: "Hongdou is your maid, naturally you can let her say whatever you want!" β
When Mrs. Sheng heard this, her eyes flashed.
Thinking about what her granddaughter did after she came to the Sheng family, I have to say that the eldest granddaughter's words still make some sense.
Compared with Sheng Jiayu's anger, Luo Sheng still looked calm, and asked lightly: "Then cousin is not curious why Sheng Jialan appeared by the lake?" β
