After sending away the Marquis of Wenchang who read the imperial edict and the accompanying eunuchs, the Luo family returned to their former atmosphere.
The old lady was helped up. She also had her own orders. The maid served tea to the masters. When they came down, everyone's face was bright, and they each found their place. The old lady and Luo Renshou sat on the main seat. Liu The clan sat under Luo Renshou, and the other juniors found their own seats to sit down.
As a son, Luo Shuyu didn't get much affection from Luo Renshou, and he was even a little alienated. His attitude also affected how much the old lady cared for him.
In the last life, Luo Shuyu may have cared too much about family affection, and would always make excuses for Luo Renshou's estrangement from him. Only when he needed him would Luo Renshou show a kind father and pretend to care about him a few words. Now think about it, It's more that he wants to use him to get news of the Third Prince's Mansion.
In the early years, Luo Shuyu wanted to get closer to Luo Renshou. After all, he was his biological father and the only person in the world he could rely on. But after going through all these things, Luo Shuyu looked back at Luo Renshou again. He was just a villain who was oblivious to his own interests. He had no love for his mother, but only covetted the benefits that his mother's family could bring to him. When he was a mother, he was only a rank six petty official, and to a large extent he has come to this position because of the light of his mother's family. Not only did he forget about profit, but he also avoided it after the accident in his mother's family. It is no wonder that their Luo family never had contact with the Chen family over the years. Luo Renshou really showed his selfishness and demolition of bridges incisively and vividly.
Looking at these people he once regarded as his relatives, all of them seemed to be kind and gentle like a bodhisattva, but in fact they were all hideous, and Luo Shuyu only felt chills.
He now clearly remembers that after he and the third prince were imprisoned, Luo Renshou never looked at him in the prison. He used a piece of jade left by his mother to find the biological father to save his child's life. However, Luo Renshou left him only one sentence: life and death have destiny, wealth and honor are in the sky, there are times in life, and there is no need to force in life.
A pun, he didn't save anyone, self-protection was more important, maybe it wasn't self-protection, and maybe he even presented fabricated evidence with both hands.
Luo Shuyu really hates this father who is known as "gentle and humble". The imperial decree he is holding at the moment is no longer heavy. , is the guarantee of his future.
In his last life, he really believed too much in his beastly father, and never doubted whether he had a father-son relationship with him.
The more he thought about it, the more stupid he felt. His father occasionally gave him a little father-son affection, and he disclosed to him one by one his affairs in the Third Prince’s Mansion. Now I have to suspect that the Third Prince’s collaborating with the enemy has a great relationship with his father. .
Thinking of this, Luo Renshou just raised his smile to Luo Shuyu's loving father: "Shu Yu, from now on, you have been preparing for your marriage in the yard recently, don't worry about anything else, there is a father for you. Master."
Luo Shuyu thought to himself how could he not see his father's indifference towards him? If he still had a little bit of father-son affection for him, how could he ignore him? It's better to have a young son who has the support of his aunt, not to mention a son from the Liu family, who wants nothing.
He only hates himself for being stupid and ridiculous, this is the family love he insists on, it's just a joke.
Luo Shuyu endured the nausea and gave Luo Renshou a straight punch: "Father, since I want to marry the third prince, I can't let the prince lose face, and I don't think about anything else, so I just want to count my mother. I also hope that my father can hand over the keys to my mother’s dowry storeroom in time.”
His mother married Luo Renshou with ten miles of red makeup back then. Mrs. Chen was an official lady in the capital, and she was also a talented girl who was competing with young talents in the capital. Later, the Chen family fell down due to an incident. He passed away due to illness, and no one mentioned the dowry again. In his last life, he married into the royal family. Luo Renshou did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He never mentioned it to him. Once at a banquet, he saw his married fourth brother wearing a sable robe and being raped. He praised him very much and was very showy. A woman sitting beside him mentioned his mother, saying that she also had such a robe back then, and he realized that there was something strange, but unfortunately his mind was not clear at the time and didn't delve into it.
At this moment, when Liu Shi heard the word dowry, his eyes swept directly to Luo Renshou.
Luo Renshou was also stunned for a moment on the spot. He was shocked. He didn't understand why Luo Shuyu suddenly mentioned the dowry of his deceased wife, how could he think of it.
Luo Renshou thought that Luo Shuyu was still unborn before, and he was very good at coaxing. He wanted to draw some affection from his father. With a smile on his face, he wanted to take the initiative in his own hands and said, "Your mother's dowry is natural. It's good, why did I start thinking about it before I got married, and I'm going to be the third emperor's concubine in the future. When people hear it, they will say that I have no way to teach my son. Have a belly."
Luo Shuyu has experienced life and death, but he is not afraid of Luo Renshou's moral suppression. He remembers that Shen Mingyun said in the book that this is called moral kidnapping. Now that he thinks about it, he is right. These four characters are tailor-made by Luo Renshou.
Luo Renshou taught him? Luo Shuyu even wanted to sneer in front of him and slap him.
How could the Lord Shangshu, who has been in the court all the year round, have no understanding of the conduct of the third prince. As a father, watching his child enter the Longtan Tiger's Den, he actually smiled like this, without the slightest worry.
How generous is he? Will you hand over your life again? Go to the Third Prince's Mansion as spies for them, so as to pave the way for the Luo family
This is Luo Renshou, a "kind father" who has exhausted his waste.
Now, for Luo Shuyu, the mansion of the Three Princes is not a tiger's den, but a safe haven for him in the future. Retrieving his mother's dowry is just his first step to take shelter from the wind. He needs to prepare for the future, no matter whether he will experience it again in this life or not. Before death, he would try to change his and Li Mingjin's fate, and his child's fate.
"Father, things like general knowledge and belly weight have nothing to do with me bringing my mother's dowry into the Prince's Mansion. I remember my mother's last wish, one of which was that her dowry would be fully inherited by me, and now I am about to enter the third prince's residence. Mansion, the dowry is the strength of our Luo family, and we can’t afford to be humbled by the royal family. I’m not doing well, and our family can’t raise their heads. Maybe people outside will say that you have an opinion on the marriage that the Holy One refers to.” It is better to use the emperor to oppress him directly than to oppress people with Luo Renshou's bad treatment of him. Luo Renshou cares about being disrespectful to the emperor, but he is just treating him with his own way.
Luo Shuyu, who has always been obedient and well-behaved, and who almost never made any resistance to Luo Renshou's words, suddenly became tough, which made Luo Renshou very uncomfortable. The smile on his gentle face gradually faded.
Luo Renshou did not know who instigated Luo Shuyu to say these words, but he really had to take care of his own face. Who the hell was whispering in his ear, every word was accusing him of embezzling his deceased wife's dowry, and his son always said that he couldn't hear a single echo of his three sentences, when did he become so eloquent.
In order not to be criticized, Luo Renshou could only promise him temporarily: "I will let someone count your mother's dowry, and then I will give you a list to add makeup to you."
If Luo Shuyu didn't mention it today, he naturally wouldn't mention it, but since it's for this reason, he has no reason to lose his place in front of the juniors. The whole family is listening here. He doubted whether Luo Shuyu did it on purpose, which made him feel uncomfortable. .
Of course, Luo Shuyu did it on purpose. Looking for Luo Renshou in private, he guessed that he would be sent away in a few words, or he would refuse to see him, and he would only speak in front of everyone and agree to his request.
Liu Shi's mouth moved, wanting to say something, but the old lady who had been enjoying her maid's shoulders suddenly said: "Shu Yu, you are going to marry the Prince's Mansion, don't be so petty, too tough and unlikable , will your father swallow your mother's dowry and fail to make it, do you speak like words?" She tossed the Buddha beads in her hands, but the words she said were contrary to the Buddha's intention, and they were bitter and mean, which she told him not to. Take his mother's dowry and continue to let Liu splurge.
The old lady has no culture. There are two things she values most in her life. One is Luo Renshou, the most promising son she gave birth to, and the other is money. The son is shameless in front of his grandson, and she thinks about her dead daughter-in-law's dowry. , she naturally wanted to teach Luo Shuyu a few words.
Why should his mother's dowry support these savage things
I was very disdainful of the old lady in my heart, Luo Shuyu said lightly: "What grandma said may need to be considered, I haven't heard my father mention my mother's dowry until now, I just reminded him, and I hope some people will return the things they shouldn't take. ."
He is a person who has died once, and he is still afraid of the Luo family
Liu Shi was insinuated by Luo Shuyu and wanted to say a few words, but the old lady obviously didn't want her to speak: "Prepare the child well for marriage, don't lose face of our family." This was said to Liu Shi, and she didn't want to get involved. And these things, waved his hands and left, "Okay, there is nothing else, I will go back first." She was very happy, after all, they will also be royal relatives in the future. As for the character of the third prince, it is not her. Within the scope of her consideration, she has never been close to Luo Shuyu, but the sudden need for a dowry by Shu Yu has ruined her interest.
"Yes, mother." Liu shi lowered his head and led the old lady to the door.
Luo Renshou looked at Luo Shuyu's dissatisfaction and found a reason to leave. Before leaving, he called his two eldest sons to the study to talk about things.
Liu Shi glanced at Luo Shuyu, but didn't explain anything. She walked away with a maid with a painful look on her face, and nearly half of the room was gone.
In the rest of his junior life, he looked at Luo Shuyu, who was holding the imperial edict in his hand, with envy, jealousy, numbness, and of course disdain in his eyes.
Disdain is naturally Luo Shuyu, who is accustomed to being spoiled by the Liu family.
Luo Shuyu held his newly hung jade pendant and said, "Third brother, you haven't married the third prince yet, so you put it up. Those who didn't know it thought you were already the third prince."
"It's never my turn to judge." Luo Shuyu patted his sleeve and looked at the auspicious cloud cuffs without raising his eyelids.
With such a casual appearance, Luo Shuyu felt offended, thinking of something, he leaned over to Luo Shuyu: "Third brother, you probably don't know what kind of person the third prince is, I heard that he kills like a man. Ma, the corpse of the maid is often transported out of the room, as long as it is not pleasing to the eye, I will whip it over, and I will be happy only if the human skin is ripped apart, and you will have to ask for more for yourself in the future."
"Then I really don't know as much as you, fifth brother. Your unmarried son actually knows about the affairs of other men's houses. I don't know how my father will feel when he finds out. If it spreads to your future husband in the future, I don't know if it's me. It’s better for you to seek more happiness for yourself.” Luo Shuyu responded lightly, it is very important for a woman to have a good reputation, and so does the son.
Luo Shuyu was caught off guard by Luo Shuyu's counterattack. He really didn't expect Luo Shuyu's sudden eloquence, which stuck in his throat. With the back of Luo Shuyu leaving in a chic manner.
"Fourth Sister, why don't you help me!" Luo Shuyu complained to the girl sitting demurely next to her.
Luo Shuyue smiled softly, and said lightly and comfortably: "What's the hurry, there will be a good show after he gets married, if the Third Prince's Mansion is so good, can it still be his turn?"
Luo Shuyu was comforted by her, snorted lightly, thinking in her heart, why not wait and see Luo Shuyu's joke.
When he returned to Ruyi Courtyard, Luo Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief. His father's attitude only made him feel chills and would not affect him any more.
The grievances and grievances between Luo Shuyu and others are nothing more than whose fabric is better, and whose appearance is better. He has never cared about this. What he really has to face is the protagonist of the book that can affect his fate— Shen Mingyun.
In the book, from Shen Mingyun's point of view, it is mentioned that the third prince's favorite person is Shen Mingyun, but later this matter was disturbed by Shen Mingyun himself, and the emperor suddenly stepped in and pointed Luo Shuyu to him.
Luo Shuyu looked at the imperial edict in his hand and sighed softly.
