Chapter 108 Tear off the fig leaf
A beautiful woman with a gentle temperament came out.
"Come out!" There was a commotion among the crowd.
Mrs. Changchun Marquis Yang's face was moderately anxious and dignified, and she saw Luo Sheng at a glance.
Under the sun, the girl's face was expressionless. Her dark eyes and slightly raised white chin made her look radiant from her hair to the corner of her skirt.
"Ms. Yang finally came out." Luo Sheng stared fixedly at the approaching woman, with a faint smile.
Yang was annoyed.
Miss Luo is running on her like this, her intentions are really sinister!
It's hard to be a stepmother, if Miss Luo continues to talk nonsense, her good reputation will be ruined.
"Miss Luo, did Qi'er offend you?" Yang's tone was anxious, full of worries about her stepson.
Luo Sheng hooked his lips, and pointed to the poor nephew who was stepped on by the red beans: "Madam Yang thinks Mr. Xu can offend me?"
Yang's face turned pale: "Since that's the case, why...why does Miss Luo treat Xi'er like this?"
Xu Qi closed his eyes to avoid everything, but his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Is the stepmother concerned about him?
He knew it, and if he really let his family know that he had been wronged, how could he ignore him.
In the past... it's just that he didn't complain.
Luo Sheng didn't answer Yang's words, but told Hong Dou: "Don't trample Mr. Xu on the ground."
"Yes." Hongdou replied, and picked up Xu Qi again.
Luo Sheng then looked at Mrs. Yang, and asked, "Madam Yang, how do you think I treated Mr. Xu? Did I hit him or scold him?"
Ms. Yang was angry in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face. She said calmly, "I heard that Miss Luo is going to take Xi'er away to face her face."
Luo Sheng was surprised: "Who did Madam Yang listen to?"
Yang's stagnation.
She naturally heard what the steward said, and the steward heard it from many people who came to the Hou Mansion to report. Seeing that Xu Qi was carried on the shoulders by a little maid, could it be a misunderstanding?
Luo Sheng shook his head: "Mrs. Yang is a noble lady after all, how can she think so badly about people? Ask these spectators, did I ever tell you to bring Mr. Xu back to the mansion to face him?"
Yang subconsciously looked at the crowd.
People who watched the excitement shouted, "Miss Luo didn't say anything."
Yang clenched her fists hard and looked at Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng raised his lips and smiled, pointing to Xu Qi who was carried by the red beans on his shoulders: "As for me, I sent Mr. Xu home, otherwise why would I go this way? Are you right?"
"Yes!" This excitement was enjoyable to watch, and people were happy to co-operate and boo.
Ms. Yang's face was ugly, and she could not suppress her anger: "Since you are sending Xi'er home, why are you carrying him on your shoulders?"
"Ms. Yang doesn't know?" Luo Sheng was even more surprised, "Because Mr. Xu was beaten by several young masters who don't know which family, and he passed out from the beating. Fortunately, he reported his family name before he passed out, so he knew it was him. The eldest son of your mansion. I have a kind heart, so I sent him here."
Xu Qi, who was being carried by Hongdou, almost jumped up.
She was talking nonsense, she was lying, she—after a moment of excitement, Xu Qi calmed down.
Can't expose her true face, compared to being robbed face to face, at least it is not so embarrassing to be sent home because of a fight and coma.
Xu Qi buried his face on Hongdou's shoulder, hiding his expression tightly.
Among the crowd, several teenagers were even more stunned, looking at the girl with calm brows as if seeing a magical new world.
She, she, how could she speak nonsense so confidently?
Why were they knocked out? It’s because they were afraid of accidents and never used such cruel hands before. It’s really because they were in that alley just now that they were going to be knocked out.
"Do you want to expose her?" The boy who didn't respond very quickly was eager to try.
A teenager gave him a slap in the face: "Expose the fart, if you expose it, you will know that we beat you, are you stupid!"
The beaten boy murmured, "Miss Luo is really smart."
Lying in public but no one can expose it, what a state this is!
"In that case, Miss Luo asks the maid to put Xi'er down." Yang said with a look of relief.
Luo Sheng frowned: "Madam Yang didn't even ask how Mr. Xu's injury is?"
Mr. Yang held her breath quite calmly: "I'll take Xi'er in, and naturally I'll ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment."
"Then does Mrs. Yang know that Mr. Xu is often beaten?"
Mr. Yang glanced at Xu Qi worriedly, full of annoyance: "I don't know, I've never heard of it from Xi'er... How could Xi'er fight with others—"
Luo Sheng interrupted Yang's words unceremoniously: "I didn't fight with others, but was beaten by several people. Mrs. Yang's beloved daughter was only twelve years old and was famous far and wide. It can be seen that Mrs. Yang is also a talented woman. How can she speak?" So inaccurate? Tell me, is fighting with someone the same as being surrounded and beaten?"
"Of course it's different."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Hou Men would also be beaten."
"What's so strange about this, this kind of thing is inevitable everywhere, who told Mr. Xu not to be protected by his mother..."
The crowd said everything, and some of the words were like knives, piercing Yang's heart.
"Why doesn't Mrs. Yang know that Mr. Xu is often bullied?" Luo Sheng asked word by word.
No matter how calm Yang could be, she couldn't stand the countless strange eyes and pointers, and said with a pale face, "Qi'er never mentioned it... besides, this is a family matter of the Marquis of Changchun. Miss Luo, right? Too much control?"
Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows and sneered: "If the road is uneven, someone will shovel it, and if the matter is uneven, someone will take care of it. Mrs. Yang's family matter, is it possible that Mr. Xu will be beaten to death and thrown on the street one day, and no one else will be allowed to talk about it?"
Ignoring Yang's ugly face, Luo Sheng sneered: "Madam Yang, don't take Mr. Xu's failure to mention it as a fig leaf. I asked those who beat him. It was not this time that Mr. Xu was beaten, but It's commonplace. You don't know it once, how many times? You don't know it for a long time? Are you doing nothing in front of Mrs. Hou?"
Luo Sheng asked three questions in a row, making the spectators discuss more heatedly.
"That's right, if the child is often beaten, can the mother not know?"
"Tsk tsk, it wouldn't be surprising if a poor family with a lot of children didn't pay attention to their livelihood, but such a beautiful family has many servants who serve Mr. Xu, how could they not know anything about it?"
"Maybe the eldest son won't let the servants talk about it?"
Someone laughed and said, "If you were serving the servants of Mr. Xu, you would often be beaten when you saw the master, and you knew that the mistress loved the master, what would you do?"
More people shook their heads and sighed.
It will definitely be reported to the mistress.
Once, you may obey the master's order not to speak out. If it happens often, how dare you hide it from the mistress of the Hou Mansion.
Unless the servants know it well, the mistress of the house does not really love the master so much.
Listening to these discussions, Mrs. Yang's eyes darkened: It's over, her good reputation for many years was ruined by Miss Luo's few words!
Looking at the tottering Yang family, Luo Sheng slightly curled the corners of his lips.
This little blow is unbearable, the matter is not over yet.
See you tomorrow.
