Chapter 12: The Truth
Sheng Jiayu was stunned by the question, and couldn't help but look at Sheng Jialan, and doubts appeared in her heart.
Yes, the second sister obviously said that she had a headache and wanted to go back to the room to sleep, so she also pushed the invitation to visit the fat powder shop, why did she appear by the lake?
Luo Sheng said calmly: "Cousin, do you think that someone in the mansion can drag Sheng Jialan to the lake?" β
Sheng Jiayu was stunned.
The morning light outside the window is beautiful, it is the most lively time in the house, how can it be possible to drag people all the way to the lake without being noticed?
What's more, it was not an ordinary little girl, but the second girl in the house.
Sheng Jiayu's doubts deepened, and she looked at Sheng Jialan and shouted "Second Sister".
Sheng Jialanwu, who had just been torn by red beans, had scattered hair and a pale face, like scattered flowers that had been raging by the wind, pitiful and embarrassed.
But despite the embarrassment, she still knelt straight and said softly: "I wanted to take a break after separating from my eldest sister, but I suddenly found that a pearl earring was missing, so I hurriedly came back along the road to find it, and then I saw my cousin still sitting by the lakeββ"
The more Sheng Jialan spoke, the lower her voice became.
The people in the room couldn't help but look into her ears, and saw that a pearl pendant strung in the shape of a gourd hung from her left earlobe, and her right earlobe was empty.
Feeling the gaze of everyone, Sheng Jialan bit her lip lightly: "This pair of earrings was left to me by my aunt, I, I don't want to lose ......"
Old Mrs. Sheng glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law.
The eldest lady held the teacup, and her expression did not change.
She and her husband are the kind of husband and wife who respect each other like guests, and after giving birth to their eldest son, they opened their faces to a maid, which gave birth to Sheng Jialan.
Although she has not treated the biological mother of her concubine harshly, it is impossible to be happy when she sees it, but it is regarded as a dispensable ornament.
I didn't think it was a thin life, and I died of illness when my concubine was nine years old.
The concubine has been sensible since she was a child, and growing up with Jiayu is also a companion.
For Sheng Jialan, the eldest lady has a little love, but when it comes to the headache cousin, it is not easy to express her position.
Sheng Jiayu suddenly realized: "No wonder the second sister is in a hurry to come back and find it, can she find it?" β
Sheng Jiayu has always treated Sheng Jialan as her sister-in-law, and when she heard her say this, she forgot about those doubts for a while, and became worried.
Sheng Jialan showed a sad look and shook her head lightly: "I haven't found it yet." β
At this time, Caixia, the eldest maid who was waiting for Mrs. Sheng, came in and reported: "Old lady, just now Zhu'er handed over an earring to the maid, saying that she picked it up by the stone steps at the door. β
Caixia was holding a delicate pearl earring in her palm, and everyone looked at it, which was no different from the one Sheng Jialan was still wearing.
Sheng Jialan's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "This is it!" β
"It's great to be able to find it." Sheng Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief for her sister, suddenly thought of something, turned her head and sneered at Luo Sheng, "Luo Sheng, you see, my second sister came back to find earrings, but I didn't expect to be killed by you!" β
"Whew!" The red bean jumped three feet high, and the shallot-like fingers almost pointed to the tip of Sheng Jiayu's nose, "Obviously, the second girl ran to the lake to harm our girl, I saw it with my own eyes." Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey, and you want to excuse a harmful spirit? β
How could there have been such an arrogant and rude maid in the house, Sheng Jiayu was immediately so angry that her face turned pale: "If there is a servant, there must be a master." Grandmother, do you believe what such a rude little maid says? β
"Who's rude, who's rude?" Hongdou crossed his hands on his hips and asked, almost making Luo Sheng laugh.
Luo Sheng curtled his knees at Mrs. Sheng: "Grandmother, you don't have to think about whether you should believe the words of a little maid, but whether you should believe me." β
Mrs. Sheng was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl's calm eyebrows, and a strange look appeared in her heart.
Yes, Hongdou said that Jialan pushed Luo Sheng into the lake, and Luo Sheng did not object from beginning to end, so the choice she had to make was to believe that the second granddaughter or the granddaughter had nothing to do with a little maid.
Mrs. Sheng looked at Luo Sheng, and then at Sheng Jialan, and sighed in her heart: Which one to believe, this is really a headache.
In fact, she believes in the well-behaved second granddaughter, but if she really treats her granddaughter like this, she may not take a break, and she may not make trouble with her son-in-law.
Let's not mention the identity of the son-in-law, just watch people send their daughters to the Sheng family, which is a bit inappropriate.
That's it, let's grieve Jialan, appease my granddaughter first, and go back to compensate my granddaughter in private.
As soon as Mrs. Sheng made a decision, she heard the young man's panting voice at the door: "Grandmother, I saw it." β
Then Sheng Saburo's voice came: "Cousin, you are not resting in the house, why did you come here?" β
Luo Chen held the door with one hand, his chest rose and fell slightly because he was in a hurry, and his cheeks were flushed with an abnormal flush.
Listening to Sheng Saburo's words, he tightened his hand to hold the door, and said to Mrs. Sheng: "I have something to say to my grandmother." β
Luo Chen was already weak, and he almost drained all his strength by diving to save people just now, and he couldn't help but feel weaker and weaker at this time.
Sheng Saburo was a little anxious: "You can't wait until you raise it." β
Luo Chen shook his head: "I have to say it now." β
"What does Chen'er want to say to her grandmother?" Luo Chen's appearance undoubtedly surprised Mrs. Sheng.
Hearing that her grandson went into the water to save her granddaughter shocked her, and when the doctor replied that she might be infected with the cold, she still has a heart still tugging at it.
Luo Chen glanced at Luo Sheng and said word for word: "I saw Sheng Jialan push my sister into the lake with my own eyes. β
As soon as these words came out of the house, there was silence, and then Sheng Jiayu's exclamation sounded: "Impossible! β
Luo Chen glanced at Sheng Jiayu and asked, "Cousin doesn't believe my sister's words, and doesn't believe me?" β
Sheng Jiayu was asked.
My cousin has always been very sensible, it's impossible to lie, but it's impossible for the second sister to do such a thing-
Sheng Jiayu looked at Sheng Jialan, bit her lip and asked, "Second sister, what's going on?" β
Sheng Jialan's face was as pale as snow, and she trembled all over.
Old Mrs. Sheng opened her mouth: "Chen'er, you can tell your grandmother carefully." β
"Yes." Luo Chen coughed lightly and said slowly, "At that time, I was walking in the garden, and when I walked to the lake, I found my sister sitting there, and I was hesitating to leave, but I didn't expect Sheng Jialan to walk over......"
Everyone had already heard that Luo Chen's attitude towards Sheng Jialan had changed a lot.
In the past, Luo Chen called Sheng Jialan's second cousin, but now he is called by one name.
Everyone remembered that Luo Sheng was also called that just now, and subconsciously looked at her.
Luo Sheng's face was still calm, but there was a little warmth in his heart because of Luo Chen's words.
She believed that Luo Chen, who witnessed the truth, would testify for her, but she didn't expect Luo Chen to go into the water to save people, let alone Luo Chen would rush to clarify as soon as possible, regardless of his body.
Although Luo Chen cares about the real sister, but she has become Miss Luo, so she has to receive this love.
Butβlooking at the thin and pale boy, Luo Sheng rarely bent his lips.
This kid is also very clever, obviously he went to the lake when he met red beans, but he avoided mentioning it at the moment.
