Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 407 - 406: Wishful Thinking (1)
Luo Mansion
"Crash——"
The sound of shattered porcelain echoed in Luo Tu’s study.
Following it was Luo Tu’s angry curses.
The people guarding outside the door were all a bit uneasy, especially Luo Shengjie’s birth mother, the eldest mistress of the Luo Mansion.
Luo Zilin, supporting Duan Qingluo, stood at a distance with the people from Qingluo’s courtyard, watching indifferently.
After returning from the Qin Pavilion, Luo Tu had been looking for Luo Shengjie. Not finding him, he vented his anger on the eldest mistress.
The eldest mistress felt both aggrieved and bewildered by the scolding.
When Luo Shengjie returned, without a word, he was dragged into the study by Luo Tu’s people.
"Young Master, what happened?"
Mu Wen, whose face still looked pale, asked curiously.
Luo Zilin shook his head, "I don’t know either."
He only came over with his mother after hearing the commotion, so how could he know what had happened?
However, Luo Tu had always been indulgent towards Luo Shengjie, almost to the point of granting every request. He was quite surprised by the sudden outburst of anger today.
"You’d better bring the person back tonight, or you’ll stay at home forever."
Luo Shengjie’s face changed drastically upon learning that his actions had been exposed.
"Father, what should I do then?"
"What to do?" Luo Tu snorted coldly, "Just send the person back from wherever you locked them up, otherwise Duan Yunfei will definitely follow through."
Although he disliked Duan Nian and Yongning Manor, he couldn’t deny that he was afraid of Yongning Manor. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought about using Haoyue Manor to deal with Yongning Manor.
Seeing his son still not responding, Luo Tu couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
He raised his voice, "You didn’t kill the person, did you?"
"No, no!" Luo Shengjie shook his head quickly, "The person isn’t dead, it’s just that the old man tried to escape a few days ago and accidentally broke one leg."
Hearing this, Luo Tu breathed a sigh of relief, "Since he’s not dead, just send the person back."
Luo Shengjie, kneeling on the ground, cried, "Father, you must come with me!"
"Now you’re afraid?" Luo Tu snorted coldly, "Where was your fear when you were taking money?"
Luo Shengjie cried silently without speaking.
Luo Tu closed his eyes helplessly, "Fine, fine, pack up quickly, I’ll persuade your mother in a while to accompany you on this trip."
After all, Duan Qingluo is Duan Yunfei’s aunt, if she steps in, Duan Yunfei might not make things too difficult for Luo Shengjie.
He waved his hand, "You go out first and call your mother in."
Hearing this, Luo Shengjie quickly wiped away his tears and went out.
"Son, are you alright?"
The eldest mistress hurried forward with tears when she saw her son coming out. She examined him, and only after seeing that apart from slightly red eyes, he was unharmed, did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Luo Shengjie gently pushed her away and walked towards Duan Qingluo and the others.
Seeing Luo Shengjie walking towards them, Luo Zilin looked at him defensively.
But he approached and forced a smile, "Mother, Father is calling you in."
Mother?
Duan Qingluo was surprised, while Luo Zilin could not help but sneer.
Luo Shengjie used to call Duan Qingluo a "Duan old hag" every time, when had he ever been this polite?
He mockingly said, "Don’t tell me you left another mess for my mother to clean up, right?"
Luo Zilin’s expression stiffened, but he had no words to retort.
Seeing his unusual expression, Luo Zilin squinted his eyes and said to Duan Qingluo, "Mother, don’t help just anyone clean up their mess, alright!"
"I know!"
Duan Qingluo smiled gently at him, then cast a cold glance at Luo Shengjie before heading towards the study.
