After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

"Let's sit down and talk it over. As long as the wife of the in-laws has any suggestions, our Luo family will do everything we can to achieve them. There is no need to take this step..."

Mr. Luo's smile was somewhat forced. What a mess he had every day. He already had enough to worry about in the mansion, and now his eldest daughter-in-law, who was originally virtuous and sensible, was causing trouble again.

"It's only been a short time since our good girl married into the Luo family, and now she's almost lost her life. If she stays here any longer, she might be secretly harmed one day..."

The second wife's anger finally found an outlet. She jumped out immediately, pointed at Mr. Luo and started cursing him.

"Whoever's child it is, I'll love him. As a mother, I want to take him back home to stay for a few days. Do you have any objections?"

Mr. Luo has always been a gentleman, so he is no match for the Second Madam. He was very angry when he was being pointed at and scolded.

"No one has objections, but Xu is marrying into our Luo family, so she is the daughter-in-law of the Luo family..."

He wanted to say that he was a member of the Luo family in life and a ghost of the Luo family in death, but Luo Junxian stopped him.

"Dad, stop talking."

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand again, Luo Junxian quickly pulled Mr. Luo aside and whispered a few words of comfort to him.

He did not say that someone wanted to harm Xu Lewan, but just said that the mother loved her child and wanted to take her home to take good care of her. He would go and bring her back when Xu Lewan felt better.

A group of people were noisily arguing at the gate. Yuxiu supported Cui and stood by, observing the group of people from the Luo family calmly.

The eldest daughter of the Luo family, Luo Shiya, who was seen at Prince Ning’s Mansion last time, did not show up. Instead, the other three illegitimate daughters of the Luo family were squeezing behind the crowd to watch the fun.

In addition to the three girls, Yuxiu also found that there was another girl standing next to Miss Luo Er. She had a delicate oval face, fair skin, and a slender figure. Even in such a cold season, she didn't seem to feel cold. She was wearing very thin clothes, which made her look even more pitiful.

For some unknown reason, Yuxiu frowned when she saw her for the first time.

The girl seemed to be extremely nervous, her small hands tightly grasping Miss Luo's arms, her eyes showing some fear, yet also a hint of excitement, her eyes were always fixed on the carriage that Xu Lewan was riding in.

Miss Luo seemed to be comforting her and gently patted the girl on the back.

Looking at Miss Luo San and Miss Luo Si, they were simply gloating over other people's misfortune, but they dared not show it in public. They just huddled together and discussed something in a low voice.

"Who is that girl? Why didn't she come to attend the flower viewing banquet at Prince Ning's mansion last time?"

Mother Qiu happened to be standing nearby, so Yuxiu asked her.

Mother Qiu followed Yuxiu's line of sight and frowned as well, lowering her voice and saying:

"I have never seen this person before. I will ask someone later."

Mother Qiu acted very quickly. She went to look for no one else but the maidservant Xu Lewan brought with her as a dowry, who was also the one who ran back to Prince Ning's Mansion to deliver the letter today.

"That's Aunt Liu's niece Pei Zhiqiu, who is also Miss Luo's cousin. She would come to stay at the Luo family from time to time over the years. Her living expenses were based on the standards of the Luo family's illegitimate daughters."

Aunt's niece?

Does that mean that Pei Zhiqiu has no blood relationship with the men in the Luo family?

Yuxiu curled her lips and said nothing more. Although there was no evidence, she had a strong premonition based on the TV dramas she had watched in her previous life.

If something happened to Xu Lewan, there is a high possibility that it was related to Pei Zhiqiu.

She planned to wait and see. Luo Junxian seemed quite reliable, but she didn't know if he had the ability to seek justice for his wife and children.

During this period of time, Mr. Luo had been scolded by the Second Madam. Although he was very reluctant, he had no choice but to agree to the request of Prince Ning's Mansion.

So the people of the Luo family could only stand at the door and watch the people from Prince Ning's Mansion leave with Xu Lewan.

Mr. Luo was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Luo's inaction, and in front of everyone in the mansion, he found a reason to scold her severely.

Isn't this woman usually very tough?

How come her daughter-in-law was taken back to her parents' home, but she didn't say a word?

Mr. Luo is a grown man, so it's not appropriate for him to get entangled with a group of women.

"If you can't do the job of being the mistress of the house, then someone else will do it!"

Mrs. Luo remained expressionless and silent, and Mr. Luo was helpless with her. In the end, he could only leave a harsh word and left with his sleeves swung.

In fact, he didn't know that Mrs. Luo also vaguely realized that someone was doing something behind the scenes, so she thought of taking Xu Lewan back to Prince Ning's Mansion to take care of her for a few days.

Recently, her beloved daughter Luo Shiya inexplicably caught a cold. She had consulted many doctors and had her drink bowl after bowl of medicinal soup, but Luo Shiya's condition kept recurring.

Therefore, Mrs. Luo put all her thoughts on her daughter, thinking of others as she would like to be treated. If something really happened to Xu Lewan, what would Second Madam, as her mother, think?

Seeing that everyone in Prince Ning's Mansion had left and no one was visible, Mrs. Luo prepared to go see Luo Shiya again.

As for what Mr. Luo said about changing the mistress of the house, she didn't take it to heart at all.

Change?

But he can't just change it whenever he wants. Besides, is he going to change his weak and fragile concubine Liu?

Or should we change to Aunt Rong who is good at romance, reciting poems and painting?

Or does he want to hand over the power of housekeeper to someone from the second or third wife?

Mrs. Luo curled her lips in disdain. She had been married into the Luo family for decades. Not only did she give birth to three sons and a daughter for the Luo family, she also took care of her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

It's not that easy for Mr. Luo to touch her.

In order to find out the mastermind as soon as possible, Luo Junxian has already started making intensive arrangements.

Cui and Yuxiu also followed Princess Ning and others to the Ning Palace. Xu Lewan was carried to the courtyard where she lived before she got married.

Mother Qiu had made arrangements in advance. The room was already warm and the bedding on the bed had all been replaced with new ones.

Xu Lewan woke up for a while in the middle of the night. Cui checked her pulse again and felt relieved. She wrote a prescription and asked someone to get the medicine and boil it.

"After taking these medicines and recuperating for a few days, she will be able to walk. Don't worry, as long as she is well taken care of, it will not have any impact on future offspring..."
