To Hold One’s Joy

Chapter 310: Retire

  Chapter 310 Withdrawal

  As the night deepened, the huge Kaiyang Palace seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and it was very quiet.

  In a study room, a lone lamp was still on, reflecting the dim halo from the inside to the outside, becoming a rare warm color in this winter night.

   Wei Han in a snow-white undershirt was quietly reading a book under the lamp, with black hair in snow clothes, he looked a little more deserted than in the daytime.

  Boom boom boom.

   There was a soft knock on the door outside the study.

"Come in."

  A young man pushed the door open and entered, cupped his fists and said, "Master, there is news from the Luo residence that the dinner used by Governor Luo is poisonous."

   Wei Han put the scroll down casually, his eyes changed slightly: "Tell me about the specific situation."

   "It is said that the soup in the dinner sent by Miss Luo was overturned by mice and robbed, and the mice were poisoned to death..."

   "Really?" Wei Han seemed to have some kind of light in his eyes, and his tone was gentle, "Zhao Shangshu entered the palace to report to the emperor?"

  Young people should be.

   Wei Han held the corner of his lips, and his tone became more gentle: "Back off."

  The young man bowed and stepped back.

  As the door was gently closed, the cold wind brought in by the young man dissipated, and the room was as warm as before.

  The candle flickered, and the solitary lamp seemed to light up, illuminating the man's eyebrows and eyes more clearly.

  There was a deep smile hidden in his eyes, and what appeared in his mind was the plain figure in the lobby of the wine shop filled with the smell of wine.

   That was the girl he knew so well that even if he closed his eyes and only listened to the sound of footsteps, he could tell it was her.

  She said she came to buy time, and she did.

   Wei Han couldn't help smiling, but he didn't understand where this feeling of pride came from.

   Candle tears filled the candlesticks, and the night deepened.

  He got up and blew out the weak candle, and simply rested directly on the low couch in the study room. While tossing and turning, he had a more urgent thought: Tomorrow, he would go to a restaurant for dinner early.

  In Luo's mansion shrouded in darkness, there were also people waiting for Luo Sheng.

   "What are you doing standing here?" Luo Sheng asked with a smile when he saw the boy waiting on the stone steps.

  Luo Chen hesitated for a moment before saying: "You came back later today than usual, did you encounter something when you went to the yamen?"

  The reason for hesitation is that the situation is already bad enough and I don't want to hear worse things.

  But even Luo Sheng, a girl, is fearless to face, how can he escape.

  He is not only Luo Sheng's younger brother, but also the young master of Luo Mansion.

   "Let's talk while walking."

  Luo Sheng walked forward, while Luo Chen silently walked by his side.

   "The food sent to my father was poisoned."

  Luo Chen paused, his eyes darkened: "Is father okay?"

   "It's all right, the poisonous soup happened to be overturned by mice and eaten by mice."

   "Uh." Luo Chen frowned and walked forward, walked a few steps and asked softly, "Isn't father going to be convicted soon?"

  Luo Sheng looked sideways at him.

  Thirteen-year-old boy, his face is still young, but his eyes are deep and bright.

  Luo Sheng bent his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Yes, adults must always check carefully."

  Luo Chen walked with his head depressed, and when he was about to reach a fork in the road, he asked in a low voice: "Can adults really find out?"

  The man who poisoned—

  He took a deep look at the girl beside him, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

  Others don't think about Luo Sheng, but he does.

  There are too many unexpected facts that Luo Sheng has done.

  In the night, the girl looked calm and said in a light tone: "Maybe it can, maybe it can't, we don't have to worry about it."

  All she wants is to delay time, and she doesn't care whether the truth will be seen through.

  She is the jewel in the palm of Governor Luo, and she is famous for her willfulness in the capital because she has a good father. Even if Lin Teng suspects her, she can't be arrested without evidence.

  As long as the person who can drag Kaiyang King rescues the guard's wife and child to the capital, and clears the charge of Luo Dadu, she will still be a lawless Miss Luo from now on.

  If Governor Luo cannot be cleared of the charges, what difference does it make if she does one more thing or one less thing?

  At the fork in the road, Luo Sheng stopped: "I'm going back to Xianyun Garden, you should go back and rest too."

  Looking at the well-behaved boy nodding, she raised her hand and rubbed his head: "Think too much, you won't grow tall."

  Luo Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, and said angrily: "Don't worry about it. My father is so tall, I won't be short."

  Luo Sheng took a fixed look at the boy, sighed, turned and left.

  Luo Chen faintly felt a little strange, more inexplicable, and went back to his residence with a straight face.

  Early the next morning, Luo Sheng went to the Yamen of the Criminal Ministry to inquire about the situation.

   "Master Shangshu, Miss Luo is here."

   Zhao Shangshu hesitated for a moment, motioning to bring him in.

  Looking at the girl who came in empty-handed, Zhao Shangshu was suddenly lost, and quickly corrected this wrong idea with reason.

  The accident happened only yesterday, so of course Miss Luo couldn't bring him a meal.

   "Master Shangshu, I don't know what happened to my father, have you found out the person who wanted to kill him?"

   "It hasn't been found out yet."

  Seeing that the girl was about to cry, Zhao Shangshu hurriedly said: "Be careful! This kind of thing can't be found out in a short while. We have to be responsible to the emperor and the governor. Miss Luo, don't you?"

  Luo Sheng nodded: "Master Shangshu is right, you have to be cautious. Then I won't bother you to investigate the case. When there is progress, please send someone to Luo's mansion or a wine shop to talk about it."

  Getting Zhao Shangshu's nod, Luo Sheng left the yamen and went to the restaurant.

  The restaurant is deserted.

  The female shopkeeper looked at the ledger over and over again, with a worried expression on her face.

  Xiao Qi, whose injury was almost healed, still went to the school, but changed to another school.

  The bearded man and the strong man squatted at the base of the wall and threw dice.

  Luo Sheng stepped into the courtyard.

   Seeing Luo Sheng approaching, the two hurriedly hid the dice and stood up, smiling and saying hello: "Master."

   "Have you heard about my family?"

  The two nodded hesitantly.

   "Once my father is convicted, it is likely to be implicated in the wine shop. While it is still calm, the two of you might as well find another way out—"

   "My boss, what are you talking about!" The bearded face turned black, "I have an aunt, and I will be there wherever my aunt is. Brother Lu must be the same as me."

  The strong man nodded again and again, with a serious expression on his face: "That's right, what Brother Du said is what I want to say, boss, please don't drive us away."

   "As long as you don't regret it." Seeing what they said, Luo Sheng didn't force him, and turned around to see the female shopkeeper standing at the door.

The female shopkeeper pursed her lips and smiled: "We are the shopkeeper. If the owner opens a cosmetics shop, we are the shopkeeper of the cosmetics shop. If the owner opens a wine shop, we will be the shopkeeper of the restaurant. As long as the shop is here, the little lady will be here. The master takes care of the family affairs, don't worry about the little lady."

  Luo Sheng bent his lips: "Then let's open the restaurant well and strive to become a time-honored brand."

  The three female shopkeepers all laughed.

  At this time, someone from Luo's residence rushed to report: "Miss, the young master told you to go back, and someone from the Tao family wants to divorce the eldest girl!"

   Keep everyone waiting for a long time. I recommend Snow Fairy 01's "Farm Food Daily". Introduction: This is a story about a fat woman eating all kinds of farm food in the countryside.
