To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 61 Father and Daughter

   "Sheng'er, is this your new face?" Governor Luo subconsciously blurted out, his voice hoarse and deep.

  Sheng Saburo's excited "uncle" got stuck in his throat, and doubts arose in his heart.

  My cousins ​​and aunts guessed this way before, and now my uncle also said so. Could it be that he is much more handsome in the eyes of others than the face I saw when I looked in the mirror?

  Luo Sheng glanced at Sheng Sanlang, and introduced in a flat tone: "This is my third cousin."

  Saburo Sheng quickly smiled: "Uncle, I am Saburo Sheng."

   "Saburo of the Sheng family?" Chief Governor Luo gradually regained consciousness after being in a coma for a long time, "I didn't expect you to be so old. The last time I saw you was a child."

   "Uncle hasn't been back for a long time."

   "Yes—" Governor Luo was about to fall into memory when he caught a glimpse of Luo Sheng out of the corner of his eye.

  The daughter stands on the bedside like a poplar, with a calmness and tranquility that I have never seen before.

  The governor Luo was completely awake: "Sheng'er, aren't you at your grandfather's house?"

  As soon as these words came out, the room fell into a strange silence, and all eyes fell on Luo Sheng.

  All the aunts: Oh, the girl really sneaked back! Just say you can't offend the girl, even the master can't control the girl...

  Luo Yue was a little relieved at first.

  Father woke up, let's see how Third Sister explained about sneaking back to Beijing.

  But then the little girl hesitated again: If the third sister doesn't come back, father won't wake up until now, maybe...

  When they could only watch their father unconscious and helpless brothers, the feeling was too depressing and hopeless.

  In this way, it is a good thing that the third sister sneaked back—Luo Yue suddenly thought of the scene of Luo Sheng slapping his whip in front of the gatekeeper boy.

  Actually, the third sister is a bit heroic in whipping people.

  Luo Yue was immediately confused.

  Hmph, anyway, she doesn't intercede, at most she will wait for the third sister to be punished and kneel down in the ancestral hall to send some melons and fruits.

   Sheng Saburo was purely worried at this time.

  Uncle will not punish cousin, right?

  But my cousin traveled thousands of miles to go home, and the journey was very hard.

  Sheng Saburo thought of Jiaohua elbow, simmered noodles, gourd chicken... woo woo woo, it would be too hard to eat after eating these, and I couldn't figure out how my cousin endured it.

   "I was at my grandfather's house, but now I'm back." Luo Sheng replied without changing his expression.

   Governor Luo's face sank: "You sneaked back?"

  This girl is really lawless, it breaks my heart!

  Dudu Luo was in a hurry, and his head throbbed.

Under the eyes of everyone, the calm and indifferent girl Luo suddenly raised her sleeves to cover her face, choked up and said: "A month ago I suddenly dreamed that something happened to my father, and when I woke up, the dream scene was vivid in my mind, as if it had really happened. I couldn't feel at ease, so I came back, I didn't expect that something happened to my father..."

  Luo Sheng cried for a while and put down his sleeves. He looked at Governor Luo with reddish eyes: "My daughter didn't come back by sneaking away. God couldn't bear to see her father have an accident, but she didn't know anything. She came back after being inspired."

   Dudu Luo's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he said in a trembling voice: "This is the heart between father and daughter. My son has worked hard all the way."

  Everyone: "..."

   "You have just woken up, and your body is still very weak. Let's rest first." Luo Sheng said.

   Governor Luo really couldn't stand it anymore.

  Been in a coma for over a month, and the knife wound has not completely healed, and there is no comfortable place in the whole body, and I am out of breath after just saying these few words.

   "Ping Li."

   "The baby is here."

   "You go to the palace for me and report the news of my awakening to the emperor."

"yes."

  Governor Luo's eyes slowly swept across the adopted sons and daughters, and he fell asleep with his eyes closed.

  Leaving the two aunts to wait on Governor Luo, the rest of the room withdrew.

   "Brother, please stop." Luo Sheng shouted.

  Pingli, who was walking in front, stopped and turned to look at her: "What's the matter with the third girl?"

   "I want to know the details of my father's assassination."

  It was imminent to save Governor Luo before, so I didn't have time to pay attention to these things, so it's time to figure it out now.

   Hiraguri seemed a little embarrassed, and looked at Sister Luo Ying.

Luo Qing said: "Father was drinking in the pavilion that day, and Si Nan passed by, saying that the third sister had left something for him to hand over to his father. Father carelessly let Si Nan get close to him, and the brocade box presented by Si Nan There was a jade hairpin, and while his father picked up the jade hairpin to look at it, he stabbed his father with the dagger hidden under the brocade box..."

   "Jade hairpin?"

  Luo Qing looked slightly surprised: "Third sister doesn't know? That jade hairpin was worn by my mother when she was not out of the cabinet, and she left it to you. That day is my mother's memorial day..."

   "I don't know why that jade hairpin is in Si Nan's hands." Luo Sheng answered Luo Qing's question skillfully.

   "The **** gangster must have stolen Third Sister's jade hairpin!" Luo Yue scolded through gritted teeth.

  Luo Sheng looked at Pingli: "How to deal with Si Nan?"

   "I was sent to Jinlin Guard Prison."

   "Have you found out the reason for assassinating my father?"

  Pingli smiled: "Third Miss, don't worry about this, we will interrogate well and report to foster father when the time comes."

   This is the meaning of not wanting to say more to Luo Sheng.

   "But I want to know." Luo Sheng said confidently.

  Ms. Luo snatched Mr. Luo home from the street, but in the end, she waited for the best time to assassinate Governor Luo.

Ping Li was silent for a moment, and said: "According to the interrogation, Si Nan's father was arrested by the Jinlin Guards more than ten years ago and his family was ruined, leaving only the young Si Nan and a servant. The thought of revenge happened to be brought back to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion by the third girl two years ago..."

   "Then go get busy, brother, I'll go see him."

   "Why should the third girl go to a place like imperial prison to dirty her eyes?"

  Luo Sheng sneered: "He stabbed my father and tricked me around. He can't be so cheap."

  Pingli's complexion changed slightly, and he persuaded: "After our interrogation of Si Nan is over, he will definitely make his life worse than death. There is no need for the third girl to do it herself."

  A mockery flashed in Luo Sheng's eyes.

  She didn't believe the reason Hiruri gave.

Jin Linwei is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and has the right to inspect and arrest. I don't know how many officials have lost their families because of being arrested by Jin Linwei over the years. She hit Si Nan on impulse?

  Ping Li is coaxing her into being the former Luo girl.

   "Okay then." Luo Sheng spat out these three words, and sure enough, he saw that Pingli's expression was slightly relaxed.

  She bent the corners of her lips: "I promise not to do anything, and then I will let the fifth brother accompany me, so the eldest brother should agree, right?"

   Hiraguri had no choice but to nod.

  When the adoptive father woke up, the righteous sister spoke with a different weight. If she didn't agree to this point, she might lose her face.

   "Fourth brother, fifth brother, you go with the third girl." Ping Li gave Qi Si a wink.

Good morning.
