Luo Qingnian looked at Liu Luoying with mixed feelings: "Yes, Ying'er and your mother are really too similar, so that my grandfather looked at the wrong person for a while." ”

"Sakura has only seen the portrait of her mother, if her grandfather doesn't dislike it, can you tell Sakura the story of her mother?"

Hearing this, the old man's heart was like being pierced into a sharp blade, and he suddenly remembered that his lonely granddaughter was a really poor child, who had no mother since he was a child, and he was helpless in that family.

He felt love and pity, and his attitude towards Liu Luoying also changed, and he smiled at him for the first time, and his voice was even softer: "Okay, when my grandfather takes care of this dirty matter, I will tell you." ”

After the words fell, Luo Qingnian turned his gaze to Luo Ting, suddenly turned cold, and scolded: "You rebel, go and kneel in the snow, think about where this dirty thing came from!" If you don't explain honestly, let people take you to the yamen! ”

Luo Ting was silent, just lowered his head to pick up the dagger in front of him, but was trampled by the mother-in-law beside Aunt Chun.

"Still want to take away the dirt? Sure enough, it's the same as your embarrassing mother, a cheap embryo! ”

It stands to reason that his son was so counted by the servants, and Luo Gufeng, as a father, should be furious, but he was expressionless, as if he had nothing to do with him, drinking tea and eating pastries by himself.

At this moment, Liu Luoying realized how difficult Luo Ting's life in the Luo family was, and he dared to insult him even as a slave.

She felt sympathy and thought about how to help, and when she caught a glimpse of the dagger picked up by the woman, she couldn't help but be stunned: wasn't that the one that was mortgaged in the inn?

"That's mine, it should be given back!" As she stood aside, the girl in a pink cotton jacket opened her mouth, and the old woman hurriedly squeezed out a flattering smile, holding a dagger in both hands and handing it to her.

Luo Qingqing, the orphan of the Luo family's third room, is the only daughter of the family.

is different from Liu Luoying, she is a collection of thousands of pets. To put it more bluntly, in the Luo family, except for the old man, she is the biggest, so she has developed her arrogant and domineering character.

Liu Luoying and this cousin, who are only three months apart, seem to be hit by a crime, and no one looks down on anyone, and they pinch as soon as they meet.

The difference is that Luo Qingqing is very good at her mouth, and she Liu Luoying has always been a gentleman who does not move her mouth, so she has been punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall.

"Thief, phew!" Luo Qingqing proudly held the dagger, and when she passed by Luo Ting's side, she also spat at it arrogantly.

Seeing this picture, a nameless fire instantly rose in Liu Luoying's heart, and I don't know where the courage came from, she stepped forward in front of everyone and grabbed Luo Qingqing's arm holding the dagger.

"Willow Sakura! Y-What are you doing? Loot it! ”

"You say it's your stuff?"

A flash of panic flashed in Luo Qingqing's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, and said with her head held high: "It's my thing, what, you want it?" ”

"Heh, this dagger is clearly a thank you gift from Sakura to her second cousin, when did it become my cousin's thing?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their eyes to Luo Qingqing, and saw that layers of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Luo Qing frowned and asked, "Ying'er, you said that you gave this dagger to Luo Ting, is there any evidence?" ”

"Grandfather, if you don't believe me, you can call my personal maid Yingchun for questioning, she is outside the door." After that, without waiting for Luo Qingnian to speak, Liu Luoying strode out of the camp and pulled the little maid in.

"Yingchun, you testify with me, did I buy that dagger in Nanling City for thirty taels of silver?"

Yingchun looked in the direction of Miss's finger, nodded, and said with a puzzled expression: "Yes, didn't Miss say that Second Prince Luo lost the jade pendant in order to buy medicine for you, so you have to compensate him?" ”

Hearing this, Luo Qingnian's face became a little more gloomy, and his eyes looked at Luo Qingqing, which was also full of dissatisfaction and blame.

"Grandfather, you also heard it, if you still don't believe it, you can go to the owner of the Nanling City Inn to inquire, Sakura bought it from him."

Now is the time to flee, no one will really investigate, and from Luo Qingqing's expression of being a thief, everyone already knows it.

It's just that even if they know the truth, no one stands up to apologize for Luo Ting, but everyone looks indifferent.

It's like when you eat, you bite a pepper, even if you numb your mouth, it doesn't hurt or itch, just pick it out.

Luo Gufeng got up, yawned lazily, and arched his hand slightly at Luo Qingnian: "Father, my son didn't sleep well last night, so I'll go back to make up for sleep first." ”

"Master, you wait for the concubine!" Aunt Chun saw that it was not good, and took small steps and followed closely.

With the departure of several people, the rest of the people in the house who watched the excitement also found a reason and calmly walked out of the tent.

Luo Qingqing had eased her mood at the moment, and she didn't see the weakness on her face at all, but a smug smile pulled up at the corner of her mouth, and she walked to Liu Luoying's side, her words were full of ridicule: "Heh, for such a cheap seed, spend thirty taels of silver, and my cousin is really generous." ”

"Do everything for my second cousin, I am also willing, for a villain like you who lies a lot, I feel distressed even if I spend a penny."

The voices of the two of them were very small, but Luo Ting was only one meter away from them, and he could hear them word for word.

The heart, which had long been frozen, gradually gained temperature, and a layer of joy surged up in his lowered eyes-she, she is really good!

In the high position, Luo Qingqing sighed, pointed at Luo Qingqing, and reproached: "Qing'er, you have never been short of food and clothing at home, why should you be like this?" If you like it, you can tell your grandfather, I'll let someone buy it for you. ”

"Grandfather, Qing'er knows that she is wrong." Luo Qingqing blinked her eyes aggrievedly and obediently admitted her mistake.

This trick is unpleasant, no matter how big the disaster is, she can easily use this trick to avoid punishment.

"Well, go back and think about it."

"Yes, grandfather."

Luo Qingqing turned around and raised her eyebrows provocatively at Liu Luoying, like that, as if to say, see what you can do to me.

"Grandfather, if you do something hastily, it will only fuel your cousin's arrogance in the future, making her more and more disrespectful of etiquette and law, if she causes trouble outside, who can end up for her?" Liu Luoying suddenly knelt on the ground and looked directly at Luo Qingnian without fear.

This guts, in the past, she would definitely not be able to do it.

I don't know what happened today to make her so courageous.

"Cousin, I'm just playing around with my second brother, why are you so serious? Besides, the elders are not reasonable, you are a person with a foreign surname, why are you pointing fingers here? ”

"Jokes? If it weren't for me not to inadvertently bump into my second cousin today, what would you do to him? Even if I am a person with a foreign surname, I always have to speak of conscience. Isn't there a little guilt that my cousin framed and robbed so casually? ”

Luo Qingqing opened her mouth and wanted to justify, but Luo Qingnian slapped the table and was so frightened that she immediately shut up.

"Qing'er, the old man just thought that you had come to your senses and asked you to go back and repent. But now it seems that the old man has indeed indulged you, making you so lawless, and even daring to be so disrespectful to your cousin, do you still have respect and humility in your eyes? ”

"Grandfather, Qing'er didn't mean that."

"What do you mean by a person with a foreign surname? Sakura is your cousin, your aunt's biological daughter, and a member of our Luo family. Shouldn't she be preaching to you if you've done something wrong? ”
