To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 76 Reciprocity

  At this time, Luo Sheng had already turned around a rockery, and saw the long pavilion that was led to earlier.

  There were many figures in the pavilion, and the voices were chaotic, as if something happened.

  Luo Sheng paused, then walked over quickly.

   "Miss Luo is back!" Between the shadows of her fragrant clothes, an unknown lady called out.

  All the girls looked out together, and the moment they saw Luo Sheng, they had different expressions.

  Luo Sheng glanced at Luo Yue covering her face with anger in her almond eyes, Luo Qing was pale and hugged her, and a maid was kneeling on the ground and trembling.

   "Third Sister—" Seeing Luo Sheng approaching, Luo Yue blurted out, feeling aggrieved for some reason, her angry eyes turned red all of a sudden.

   "Put your hand down." Luo Sheng's tone was light, and he could even vaguely hear a trace of disgust.

  The girls exchanged glances quietly.

  Miss Luo is not easy to mess with. They all know this. They thought that seeing their sisters being bullied would make them stand out even for the sake of face. Now it seems that they are thinking too much.

   Also, Miss Luo is domineering outside, and she is also domineering in the mansion, so how can she protect her sisters?

  Luo Yue bit her lips and put down her hands when she heard this, and lowered her eyes to hide the disappointment and self-mockery in her eyes.

  She must have been stunned just now, seeing Luo Sheng thought she would stand up for her.

  Luo Sheng's eyes fell on Luo Yue's face.

  Luo Yue's right cheek was slightly red, because her skin was delicate and white, and the palm print was very obvious.

  Luo Sheng's eyes turned cold, and he asked calmly, "Who hit you?"

   Naturally, this person cannot be Luo Qing.

   All the girls couldn't help but look at a girl standing not far from Luo Yue.

  The girl was tall and slender, with a haughty look on her face. She met Luo Sheng's eyes and pursed her lips subconsciously.

  Luo Sheng didn't know who the girl was.

   There is no memory of Miss Luo, which is really a headache.

  But a person who sees her pursing her lips subconsciously should not be more noble than the little princess Wei Wen, and it is very likely that she has had trouble with Miss Luo.

  In just a moment, Luo Sheng made these inferences.

   "You hit my fourth sister?" Luo Sheng asked, looking directly at the girl.

  The girl's red lips pursed into a line: "So what?"

   Wei Wen came back one step ahead of Luo Sheng. At this time, as the master, she had no choice but to stand up: "Miss Luo, the situation is like this—"

  Luo Sheng interrupted Wei Wen's words lightly: "The princess is not in a hurry to say."

   Wei Wen frowned and looked at Luo Sheng, not knowing what the other party meant.

   All the girls kept their eyes on Luo Sheng's side, their silent exterior was an excited and beating heart.

  As long as you are not that lively, it is always human nature to watch the excitement, and the noble ladies present are not immune.

  Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Luo Sheng walked up to the girl step by step, raised his hand and slapped her.

  A crisp sound shocked everyone, even the girl who had been slapped didn't react, she covered her face and her eyes were full of shock.

  Luo Sheng seemed to have nothing happened, rubbed his wrists, and then smiled at Wei Wen: "The princess can now talk about what happened."

   Wei Wen came back to her senses, and said with displeasure: "Miss Luo, you are going too far."

  Luo Qing yelled worriedly: "Third Sister—"

  Luo Yue looked at Luo Sheng in a daze and wept, but there was light in her eyes.

  The maid who led Luo Sheng looked at the girl's face with complicated emotions: Miss Luo touched a snake with her hand...

   "I'm just reciprocating the courtesy, first return the gift and then talk about other things." Luo Sheng glanced at the kneeling and trembling maid, with a casual tone, "It seems that the maid caused trouble again."

   Wei Wen's heart skipped a beat, and she had to swallow those accusations.

  Luo Sheng's words sounded casual, but it was not that simple.

  The fact that the maid on the concubine mother's side put the sweet soup on Madam Changchun's face has not yet been reported. If the current incident is led to the maidservant of the palace by Luo Sheng, the reputation of the palace will be damaged.

   Among other things, the reputation of a poor servant is not good.

   Wei Wen looked at Luo Sheng.

  The pair of autumn water-like eyes are calm and deep, making it hard to see the depth.

  Luo Sheng even dared to slap the prime minister's granddaughter, what else would he not dare to do.

  The girl who was beaten in front of her was Chen Ruoning, the granddaughter of Chen Gelao.

   To be honest, there is a big difference between the cabinet ministers and the former prime ministers, but it is still customary among the people to call them cabinet elders or prime ministers.

  Thinking about this, Wei Wen had to slow down her tone, and said softly: "I only came a little earlier than Miss Luo, please let the sisters present talk about the details."

   There was silence in the booth.

   It is good to watch the excitement, but it is not wise to get involved in the excitement.

   Wei Wen raised her eyebrows.

  She actually knew what happened, but some words were inappropriate for her master.

   After thinking about it for a while, Wei Wen nodded slightly to Zhu Hanshuang: "Hanshuang, why don't you talk about it."

Zhu Hanshuang and Luo Sheng didn't deal with it at all, but they didn't care too much, and said: "Everyone was eating tea earlier, and this maidservant brought a plate of melons and fruits to the second girl Luo, but she slipped under her feet and took off the fruit plate. Fourth girl Luo wanted to protect her. The second girl Luo threw the fruit plate out, and all the melons and fruits fell on Miss Chen."

  When Zhu Hanshuang said this, he subconsciously bent his lips: "The melon and fruit hit Miss Chen all over her body, but Fourth Miss Luo didn't apologize. Miss Chen slapped Fourth Miss Luo in a hurry, and that's how it is."

  Luo Sheng sneered in his heart after hearing Zhu Hanshuang's ins and outs.

  Zhu Hanshuang's words sounded fine, but in fact, he led the fault to Luo Yue.

   Accidentally hitting Miss Chen but not apologizing, no matter how it sounds, Luo Yue doesn't make sense.

  In contrast, Miss Chen's eagerness to fight back became justifiable.

  Luo Sheng guessed Miss Chen's identity at this time.

  The surname is Chen, and she dares to slap the girl in the governor's mansion. This should be Chen Ruoning, the eldest granddaughter of Chen Gelao, the second assistant of the dynasty.

  She heard Hongdou mention that Miss Luo beat Miss Chen, the daughter of the prime minister, before.

  Why did Hongdou bring it up, because this maid helped her own girl to beat her up at the time, so of course she had to mention it from time to time as a glorious achievement.

  After listening quietly, Luo Sheng didn't follow Zhu Hanshuang's words, but turned his attention to the kneeling maid.

   "Slip on your feet? The last fruit plate could slip on your feet. Is this maid trained by the same batch as the maid who put sweet soup on Madam Changchun's face?"

  As soon as these words came out, all the girls were surprised, and whispered to the people on the left and right.

   Wei Wen's eyes flashed with anger, and she winked at Zhu Hanshuang.

  Zhu Hanshuang hurriedly said: "I really can't blame the maidservant, the ground is too slippery with wine spilled, she stepped on it unintentionally."

  Luo Sheng glanced at the ground, and sure enough, he saw the wet stone slabs, as well as the broken porcelain that hadn't been cleaned up, and the melons and fruits covered with dust.

   "Uh, it turned out to be an accident." Luo Sheng commented casually, but Wei Wen was even more annoyed.

  Since it was said to be an accident, why did you mention it repeatedly? This does not mean emphasizing that there is something wrong with the palace maid.

  Luo Sheng glanced at Wei Wen, then looked at Luo Yue: "Why didn't the fourth sister apologize to Miss Chen?"

  Luo Yue was angry as soon as she opened her mouth: "I—"

  Luo Sheng waved his hand: "Talk slowly. The facts are here, and it won't change if you say it faster or slower."

  Thanks to Mei Lingsu for the 50,000 coins rewarded, and to the book friends who voted for the reward. See you tomorrow.
