To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 497 Prepare for a rainy day

  There are not many things that can really be done for these women. It is nothing more than arranging for someone to quietly remind that there are many human traffickers recently, and many women have disappeared. Let these women and their families pay attention.

  The deep-minded emperor wanted both face and face, and didn't want to arouse public anger. In this way, Jin Linwei would never directly break down the door to arrest people. As long as those women hid at home or took refuge in other places, they might be able to escape under the deliberate release of Luo Dadu.

   As for whether these women and their families will believe them and avoid them, it depends on God's will.

   Do your best to obey the destiny, that's the only way.

  When Lin Teng left Youjian Restaurant, his heart was heavy.

  The heaviness is not only because of these more than a hundred young women, but also the powerless anger.

  After Luo Dadu returned to the Yamen, he thought for a long time and made a decision.

   "Father wants me to leave the capital?" After receiving the letter, Luo Sheng, who returned to the Governor's Mansion early, was surprised when he heard what the Governor Luo said.

"That's right. It just so happens that your uncle and cousin have been in the capital for a long time, so let's leave the capital first in the name of your grandmother missing them and your siblings." Governor Luo said what he had planned, "I've thought about it for my father. , we must plan ahead in this matter. In case that monster talks nonsense again and endangers your safety, then it will be too late to leave."

  Luo Sheng was silent.

   "Why isn't Sheng'er talking?"

  Luo Sheng raised his eyes and looked at Governor Luo: "What about the elder sister and the others?"

  Luo Dadu hesitated, and said lightly: "Of course they have no reason to leave."

   "If I leave, the national teacher really encourages the emperor to attack a woman who was born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the Wuchen year, and if I know my birth date, how will I treat my father?" Luo Sheng asked again.

  Luo Dadu's face darkened slightly: "Father can solve these problems. If you obediently take Chen'er and leave with your second uncle and the others, it will save me worry."

  Luo Sheng shook his head: "I won't go."

   "Shenger!"

Luo Sheng and Governor Luo looked at each other, and said seriously: "You have been with the emperor for many years, you should know that the emperor is a suspicious person. If I leave the capital suddenly at this time, the suspicion that I didn't have for my father will also arise. Father, I told you earlier that it might be my turn, but I just made a hypothesis, and I can't put hundreds of people in our whole house in danger because of a hypothesis."

  Fourteen years ago, she left the court that day, and when she hurried back, her parents and relatives were already in a sea of ​​blood, and she was unable to climb into the house until she died.

   It was a nightmare she could never forget, and she didn't want it to happen again.

   This is Miss Luo's home, and she is Miss Luo now.

   "But this hypothesis has the potential to be true!"

  Luo Sheng looked directly into Governor Luo's eyes, and said firmly, "Then I won't leave, unless our family can leave."

   "Sheng'er—" Governor Luo wanted to reprimand his daughter for being wayward, but he couldn't say the rest.

Luo Sheng thought for a while, and said: "Let my brother go, in the name of visiting my grandmother as my father said. My brother grew up in Jinsha since he was a child, and this reason is valid. Besides, he is a boy, so it is okay to leave at this time." will not arouse suspicion.”

  She didn't leave because she was afraid of bringing disaster to the Luo family, and Luo Chen's departure would not cause any impact.

   "Have you figured it out?" Governor Luo asked in a deep voice.

  He wanted to be tough and assertive, but he knew this girl's stubbornness better than anyone else.

   What is even more troublesome is that this stubborn girl grew up and began to know how to persuade him with reason.

  He can only choose to respect her ideas.

  Luo Sheng nodded vigorously: "Thought it out."

  Looking at Governor Luo's heavy face, Luo Sheng sighed inwardly.

  If she took Luo Chen away at this time, on the day when the emperor despises Governor Luo, Governor Luo might honestly let others slaughter him. But she insisted on staying, and because of Governor Luo's love for his daughter, he would consider the future.

   "Okay, I'll talk to your second uncle tomorrow."

  Luo Sheng smiled: "Father told uncle earlier."

   "You girl." Governor Luo shook his head with a smile, and the smile disappeared from his lips in an instant.

  Early the next morning, Governor Luo met with Second Uncle Sheng. After some secret talks, Second Uncle Sheng summoned Sheng Dalang, Sheng Erlang, Sheng Sanlang, and Luo Chen to a restaurant.

   "Father, what's the matter? Why did you call the eldest brother and the second brother here at this time?" Sheng Sanlang looked puzzled.

  The eldest brother and the second brother should still be on errands.

  Sheng Dalang and Sheng Erlang were also puzzled.

  Luo Chen frowned: "Second uncle, could it be that a letter came from the south?"

  Second Uncle Sheng raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, choked up and said, "Chen'er is still smart... I just received a letter from home saying that your grandmother is sick—"

   "What, grandma is sick?"

  When Second Uncle Sheng said this, several people changed their colors one after another.

  Second Uncle Sheng burst into tears: "Yeah, it was so sudden, I can't accept it until now, woo woo woo..."

  Governor Luo was stunned.

  Uncle's acting skills are really good!

  Second Uncle Sheng glanced at Governor Luo from Yu Guangfei, thinking that his brother-in-law was worried that he would not be able to coax a few boys, how could it be possible.

   As long as he thought of leaving his niece and a restaurant, his heart would break!

  Second Uncle Sheng is a big man crying with sincerity, and the young people naturally believe it.

  Sheng Sanlang, who was quite round again, said urgently: "Father, don't cry, grandma is sick, so let's pack up and go back."

  Second Uncle Sheng wiped away his tears, and said heavily, "I have to go back, why don't I call you guys to discuss it?"

  Sheng Dalang said: "Second uncle, there is nothing to discuss, my second brother and I will go back to the yamen and ask Shangfeng for leave."

   Sheng Erlang echoed.

  Seeing that the two nephews with serious errands expressed their opinions, Sheng Erlang looked at Luo Chen: "Chen'er, the letter said that your grandmother misses you very much—"

  Luo Chen said without hesitation: "I will go back to Jinsha with my uncle."

   "Brother-in-law, look—"

  Luo Dadu hurriedly said: "Uncle, there is nothing to say, Chen'er has been loved by the old lady since he was a child, and he must go back at this time."

   "Thank you brother-in-law for your understanding."

   "Uncle is gone now."

  Seeing the two of you coming and me being polite, Sheng Sanlang coughed: "That... isn't my cousin together?"

  Governor Luo and Second Uncle Sheng looked at Sheng Sanlang at the same time.

  Sheng Saburo didn't know what he said wrong, but at that moment he clearly felt the killing intent.

  He shrank his neck and quickly explained: "Grandmother must miss my cousin very much. If grandma can eat the meal cooked by her cousin, she will get better soon..."

  The corners of Governor Luo's mouth twitched slightly.

   Saburo came up with this reason, which makes it impossible to refute.

  Second Uncle Sheng looked at Sheng Sanlang, and had only one thought in his mind: How could his son be so good just to eat?

   Things went well. Because of his son's troubles, Second Uncle Sheng suppressed the urge to raise a fire stick to teach his unfilial son a lesson, and said seriously: "It's not convenient for your cousin to travel far at this time."

   "Why?" Sheng Sanlang glanced at the girl who was sitting quietly, and scratched his head.
