Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven
Chapter 248: Splendid Peace and Lu Jiaxue 3
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, pitch black. Suddenly, a group of men in black burst into the Luo Mansion. Their swift and well-trained movements quickly surrounded the entire residence. The leader was none other than Lu Jiaxue, who had come to capture the fugitive.
It turned out that Luo Shenyuan had taken people to the Dali Temple to rescue his senior brother Daoyan. When the servants reported that the people from the Imperial City Division had surrounded the Luo Mansion, Luo Yiyu was shocked and immediately asked the servants to ask her grandmother to come over, while she herself walked outside without hesitation.
When she reached Luo Shenyuan's yard, Luo Yiyu saw Luo Yining standing there. She quickly said to Luo Yining, "Seventh sister, go and ask Second Aunt and Second Uncle to come over!"
Luo Yining looked at Luo Yiyu with a worried look on his face and asked anxiously, "Sister, Third Brother..."
Luo Yiyu patted her hand gently and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will protect him." Then, she walked into the yard resolutely.
At this time, Lu Jiaxue was sending people to arrest Luo Shenyuan, and in order not to reveal his true identity, Luo Shenyuan had no choice but to temporarily succumb to Lu Jiaxue's pressure.
Lu Jiaxue sneered, "Hmph, hurry up and tell me where Daoyan is! If you don't tell me, I'll punish you severely!"
Luo Shenyuan looked at Lu Jiaxue innocently and asked, "Sir, what are you talking about? Shenyuan really doesn't understand!" His expression was sincere and confused, and there was no flaw to be found.
Lu Jiaxue was so angry that he shouted angrily, "Someone come here, beat him up!"
However, at this moment, a clear voice rang out: "No fighting, I want to see who is so bold as to dare to do it!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, beautiful woman walk in. It was Luo Yiyu. Her eyes were cold, full of majesty and domineering.
When Lu Jiaxue saw that it was Luo Yiyu, his eyes lit up immediately and he hurriedly said, "Young lady!"
Luo Yiyu didn't even glance at Lu Jiaxue. He walked straight to Luo Shenyuan and waved his hand to throw the guards who were holding Luo Shenyuan aside. Then he helped Luo Shenyuan up and asked with concern, "Third brother, are you okay?"
Luo Shenyuan shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
Seeing this, Lu Jiaxue was furious. He pointed at Luo Yiyu and shouted, "Miss, do you know the consequences of interfering with the Imperial City Bureau's investigation?"
Luo Yiyu sneered and flashed in front of Lu Jiaxue, a trace of disdain in his eyes. "Lord Lu, why don't you tell me what the consequences will be? I only know that today, your Imperial City Division broke into our Luo family mansion without any evidence and even planned to lynch my third brother... If I go to the Emperor to complain tomorrow, I wonder if Lord Lu will be in trouble?"
Lu Jiaxue's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but he still pretended to be calm and took Luo Yiyu's hand, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Miss, are you threatening me?"
Luo Yiyu smiled faintly and said, "I don't deserve it! But does Lord Lu really intend to do so? You should know that even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered!" Lu Jiaxue smiled slightly and replied, "I wonder if the young lady is the biting rabbit?"
At that moment, Madam Luo arrived hurriedly with her family, shouting, "Marquis Lu, please let go of my granddaughter's hand... Marquis Lu barged into my Luo Mansion today and questioned my grandson without any basis. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to demand an explanation from the Emperor!"
Facing the crowd's questioning and pressure, Lu Jiaxue realized he wouldn't get the answer he wanted today, so he reluctantly let go of Yiyu's hand and led everyone away. The weight of worry in Luo Yiyu's heart finally settled, and she took a deep breath, relaxing her tense nerves.
After seeing Lu Jiaxue and others leave, Luo Yining hurried forward and asked with concern whether Luo Yiyu was okay. Luo Yining asked anxiously: "Sister, are you okay?"
Luo Yiyu patted her hands gently and said comfortingly: "It's okay, grandma, father, mother, you go and rest first. We will discuss what happened today in detail tomorrow. It's getting late now..." After that, everyone left, leaving only Luo Yining, Luo Shenyuan and Luo Yiyu.
Luo Shenyuan thanked Luo Yiyu gratefully: "Thank you, big sister!"
Luo Yiyu said to him earnestly, "You must enter the officialdom as soon as possible and take the imperial examination. My grandmother and I can help you conceal this incident today, but it won't be so easy next time. Besides, the Imperial City Bureau is no pushover. If they become alert, it will be difficult for you to get away with it..."
Luo Shenyuan thanked her respectfully again and expressed his understanding: "Thank you for your guidance, elder sister. Shenyuan understands..."
Then, Luo Yiyu turned to look at Luo Yining and instructed, "Remember to tell Second Aunt later to adopt Shen Yuan as her adopted son. That way, when Shen Yuan passes the imperial examination, the emperor will grant him a higher official position!"
Luo Yining nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your advice, sister!" Then, Luo Yiyu returned to her yard to rest.
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. Yi Ning, dressed in a light blue dress, walked gracefully into Lin Ruhai's courtyard. Her face was filled with determination and anticipation, and her heart was filled with love and hope for her third brother.
Arriving before Lin Ruhai, Yi Ning softly said, "Mother, I have a favor to ask. Could you please adopt my third brother as your son? That way, he could take the imperial examinations as the legitimate son of the Luo family and showcase his talent."
Lin Ruhai was slightly stunned, his eyes fell on Yining, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Why do you want me to adopt him?"
Yi Ning gently embraced Lin Ruhai's arm, a resolute light flashing in her eyes as she explained, "Third brother has always been very hardworking and has a pure character. He longs to realize his ambitions through the imperial examinations, but his status as a concubine's son restricts him. If you can adopt him as your son, it will not only help Third brother realize his dreams, but also allow him to receive a better education and training. Moreover, in this way, you, mother, will also have a son to rely on. You know that Third brother is diligent and studious, with good character. After having a son, Aunt Qiao will no longer dare to act recklessly and bully you just because you don't have a son!"
Lin Ruhai was deeply moved as she listened to Yi Ning's words. She knew Yi Ning's concern for her third brother and her filial piety towards her. However, adoption was not a decision to be made lightly and required careful consideration.
Yi Ning watched Lin Ruhai lost in thought and continued, "Mother, this is a rare opportunity for my third brother. You can provide him with better learning conditions and guide him on the path to a career in government. At the same time, you will also gain an outstanding son who will honor and care for you. This is a good thing for our entire family."
Lin Ruhai quietly considered Yi Ning's suggestion, weighing the pros and cons in her mind. She understood Yi Ning's intentions were good, hoping for a better future for her third brother. Finally, he nodded, indicating his willingness to consider the matter and promising to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
Yi Ning heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Ruhai's answer. He said gratefully, "Thank you, mother! I believe my third brother will cherish this opportunity, work hard, and become a son you'll be proud of."
Lin Ruhai had a faint smile on his face. He gently touched Yining's head and said softly, "Okay, I will consider this matter carefully. Don't worry, I will think carefully and make the most appropriate decision."
Before leaving, Lin Ruhai said, "Let your third brother come to see me later!" Luo Yining smiled happily and said excitedly, "Thank you, mother!" Then, Lin Ruhai found Luo's grandmother and reported the matter to her.
Old Madam Luo nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on her face as she commented, "That child is not only loyal but also very vindictive. He's a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, as can be seen from his attitude towards the Seventh Girl. Adopting him as a son would be a good thing for both you and our Luo family. However, the Second Son has always been resentful of the Third Son's biological mother, so I'm afraid he might not agree!"
Lin Ruhai said nonchalantly, "So what if he doesn't want to? As long as I want to, that's all! I haven't had any children in all these years, so I just adopted him as my son to keep him in my memory!"
So, Madam Luo summoned Luo Shenyuan over. After some probing, she called Second Master Luo and said, "Second Master, Ruhai has been childless for so many years and feels very bad. She wants to adopt the third boy as her son. What do you think?"
When Luo Chengzhang heard this, he quickly shook his head and refused, "How can this be? I don't agree!"
Lin Ruhai smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "Okay, in that case, from today on, all expenses of the second house will be borne by you, Master. However, I must adopt Shen Yuan as my son anyway!"
Luo Chengzhang suddenly became anxious and wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Lin Ruhai said coldly, "What do you mean by 'you'? You eat my food, drink my drinks, and live in my house. Now I want to adopt Shen Yuan as my son, and you dare to object?"
Seeing the two arguing, Luo's mother smiled and said, "Alright, second brother, stop arguing. Let's make it this way. Three days from now is a good day. We'll choose that day to open the ancestral hall and let Shenyuan recognize his ancestral roots. We'll officially write his name in the family tree, under Ruhai's name. This way, we'll have fulfilled Ruhai's wish."
Luo Yuanzhang nodded helplessly and replied: "Yes, mother..."
Mother Luo sat in a chair, took a sip from her teacup, and then turned her gaze to her second son. She said earnestly, "Second son, please don't feel wronged. Shen Yuan's character is much better than Aunt Qiao's Xuan'er. In a few days, I plan to hold a Seven Feast for Shen Yuan..."
Luo Yuanzhang listened to his mother's words, and although he felt a little reluctant, he still whispered, "Yes..." He knew that he couldn't go against his mother's wishes. After all, in this family, his mother was very wise, and the decisions she made were all for the good of everyone!
