Chapter 6

The carriage moved forward slowly, the horse's hooves buckled on the bluestone slab and made a clear rattling sound, and the cold spring breeze came in through the window, which made her shiver involuntarily.

Ah Meng hugged her coat tightly, pursed her lips and sat against the wall of the car, her baby's face was indifferent.

"Miss..." Zhichun handed her a hand stove, hesitated to speak, and finally could only say: "Warm your hands first."

Wrapping her hands around the small heater, the warm touch spread from her fingertips to her heart, which made her chaotic mind a little clearer.

She felt that she had a demonic disease, and she was afraid of a man who was supposed to be a stranger. Even if they should have had some intersection, but after more than ten years, when they met again, he was already a famous general in the world, and she was still a... The imperial censor's daughter whose biological mother died young is not worth mentioning. There are so many women from aristocratic families in the capital waiting in line to marry him. This kind of person has nothing to do with her. He will notice himself, probably because of his childhood affection That's all.

only……

The right hand caressed the left arm involuntarily, there was a wound that could not be healed, even after more than ten years, it still remained there.Thinking of the strange voice of the man saying: "Ameng, is the scar on your right arm still there? It must have hurt at the beginning, right? It's a pity I haven't seen it healed..." I couldn't help but shudder , feeling inexplicably, maybe... I really can't get rid of that devilish man in the future.

Together with this thought, a chill shot up from the bottom of her heart, making her suddenly feel that life is really dark.

She has obviously traveled through time, why is she living such a useless life, and even messed with a man with a bad nature?
Zhichun huddled in the corner, biting her nails and looking at her lady's increasingly indifferent face. It was supposed to be a cute and cute baby face, but her lady's empress didn't like to smile very much, and her face was mostly face. The lack of expression makes this cuteness discounted.Just like at this time, this indifferent expression and the lingering gloomy look made her, who was already timid, dare not move.

After an unknown amount of time, the coachman let out a cry, and then the carriage stopped.

Luo Mansion has arrived.

Zhichun got out of the carriage first, then stood respectfully beside the carriage, moved a small stool, and greeted his young lady to get off the carriage and return home.

Ah Meng helped Zhichun's men get out of the car, then turned around and thanked Yao's coachman before walking towards Luo's mansion.

After knocking on the door, the door opened quickly. The servant who opened the door was an old man. When he saw Ah Meng, he bowed respectfully and called "Miss".

Ah Meng nodded her head as a response. After walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Uncle Nan, is my father back yet?"

"Miss Hui, the master hasn't come back yet."

After hearing this, Ah Meng felt a little disappointed, but she didn't say any more.

Walking through the main hall, I heard a burst of clear and delicate laughter from a distance, and the corner of Ah Meng's mouth curled into a faint smile, needless to say, the only one who could laugh so wantonly in Luo's mansion was her step-sister Luo Who else is Yusha.

Ah Meng helped Zhichun into the hall, and saw her stepmother Xingshi and stepsister Luo Yusha sitting together in the hall, the mother and daughter were commenting on something in front of an embroidery shed.

The Xing family was the wife chosen by the old lady of the Luo family for her father after her mother passed away, and her stepmother soon gave birth to a daughter and a son for her father.The Xing family is just a small family in the capital, and the background is not deep, but because the brothers of the Xing family are officials in the court, they are selected by the old lady because they see a good future.As for the Xing family, Ah Meng always felt that she was too petty, and she always held on to a dead person, and the children she gave birth to were also petty.

"Mother, sister, I'm back." Ah Meng stepped forward to greet her stepmother, then sat aside with a smile, waiting for her sister to greet her.

When the mother and daughter saw her appear, the smiles on their faces froze quickly. After hearing her greeting, Xing called out stiffly, and Luo Yusha reluctantly came over to greet her.

Among the aristocratic families, the rules are the strictest.No matter how jealous Luo Yusha was of her elder sister, she had to respectfully go up to say hello and call her "sister" when they met each other on weekdays.

"Yo, it's our eldest lady who has returned." Xing covered his lips with a handkerchief, glanced at her, and said, "Sister Yin looks unhappy, but is she sick?"

Ah Meng smiled dignifiedly, "I worried my mother, it's just that the wind was strong on the road, and I accidentally blew some cold wind."

"Is the wind very strong?" Luo Yusha asked with wide eyes, "Could it be that my sister accidentally hurt something again? My sister is always so careless and makes my father worry about you, which is not filial."

Xingshi lowered his eyes, as if he didn't hear his daughter's words.

Ah Meng is still smiling, with that baby face, she is very delicate and cute, but there is an indelible coldness lingering between her brows, "Look at what my sister said, what I know is that my sister cares about my sister, and what I don't know is that my sister cares about my sister." People thought that my sister was cursing my sister and my father. Oh, I forgot to say, my sister has a good temperament, but you have to speak according to the occasion, otherwise you will say the wrong thing like last time and make your father angry Woolen cloth."

"You..." Luo Yusha was so angry that her chest was bulging, her eyes were burning with fire, as if she wanted to pounce on her and scratch her face.

"Yusha, don't be rude." Mrs. Xing hurriedly restrained her daughter, lest her daughter lose control of her temper and be seen by others, and she would not be the one to suffer.In fact, she was also very angry, but she couldn't blame Miss Luo's family for no reason.It is often said that a stepmother is hard to do, especially the late Mrs. Luo Yao Shi is a woman with high wrists. When she is compared everywhere, she even hates the daughter she left behind.

Forced to smile, Mrs. Xing asked, "How is Sister Yin at the Yao Mansion today? Didn't anything happen when I celebrated Mrs. Yao's birthday?"

"No, the old lady is kind and friendly to others." Ah Meng raised her chin slightly, smiling dignifiedly and proudly.

Seeing her like this, the mother and daughter of the Xing family felt very responsive, but they couldn't do anything, lest they deal with this eldest lady and be inexplicably unlucky.This is a summary of their experience over the past ten years. They always feel that evil is tight, and every time they want to find fault with this young lady, they will always end up inexplicably unlucky, which makes them have to be more cautious before acting.

After repeating the polite words again, Ah Meng went back to rest because she was not feeling well.Mrs. Xing didn't stop her either, seeing Ah Meng's bloody white face, she knew that Ah Meng was really unwell at the moment, she didn't want to stop the Miss Luo Mansion by herself, the master came back and scolded her in distress.

After Ah Meng's master and servant left, Luo Yusha finally couldn't help but burst out, "Mother, look at her! She didn't pay attention to your mother at all, what is she? She's an old girl, and she hasn't married yet." People still laugh at her to death! Even when I went out, when they heard that I was a lady from the Luo family, they were laughed at by those noble ladies, saying that the daughter of our Luo family cannot get married..." Saying this, Master Luo loved her There was a burst of bitterness, tears rolled in my eyes, and I felt extremely wronged.

Mrs. Xing frowned, and said with some annoyance: "Don't cry, I also want to marry her off quickly, so that I don't feel uncomfortable seeing her every day, and it will affect the reputation of you and Yi'er. There's nothing she can do about picking someone to marry."

For this matter, she was also called to scold by the old lady for a while, thinking that she was an unvirtuous mother and did not consider her daughter's marriage.God knows that the old matriarch doesn't like Ah Meng, but seeing that Ah Meng is an old girl and still living in her boudoir, which affects the reputation of the Luo family, she asked her to find a way to marry Ah Meng as soon as possible.

Why doesn't she want to marry Ah Meng?But her master didn't say anything, and every time she mentioned it, she would be scolded. As time passed, she understood what the master meant, and never mentioned it again.

"What does father mean? Why hasn't she been engaged?" Luo Yusha asked curiously. She had been wondering about this for a long time. Ever since Ah Meng was 15 years old, she had never seen her father rush to make an engagement for her. After a year has passed, others are going to gossip, but he still pretends not to know, and remains the same.

"It seems... She has already made a marriage arrangement since she was a child, but because of the man's problems, she has not been able to get married. I don't know if the man regretted the marriage or some accident happened. What your father means is that you have to wait The man came to propose marriage..." Xing said with some uncertainty.

"Could it be that something happened to that man, so he can't marry her?" Luo Yusha said happily, "Then she's going to be a sister-in-law in the temple from now on?"

"I don't know, it depends on what your father wants."

"Oh..." Luo Yusha was short of breath when she didn't get an affirmative answer.

Not long after, the servants came to tell the master that he was back, and Mrs. Xing hurriedly straightened her hair and took her daughter to meet him.

There was also a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy who came back with Luo Hongchang, the owner of the Luo Mansion.This is Luo Hongchang's legitimate son - Luo Yi, the second child of the Xing family.

"Master, Yi'er, you are back." As he spoke, he personally took a hot towel to wipe their faces.

Luo Hongchang looked at it and asked, "Where is Ah Meng? Why don't you see her?" In the past, when his father came back, Ah Meng would come to greet him if he had nothing to do, and then the family would sit together for dinner.

The smile on Xing's face stiffened, and he said: "She is not feeling well, and my concubine asked her to go back and rest."

Luo Hongchang looked over with concern, and asked nervously, "What's wrong with Ah Meng? But did you invite the doctor to come and see?"

Seeing her husband's tense expression, Xing was even more bitter, but she still replied softly: "She said that she doesn't need to call a doctor, just rest for a while."

Luo Hongchang was still a little worried, so he said: "I'll go and see her, you guys eat first, don't wait for me."

After all, he ignored Xing's mother and son, lifted his robe and went to Lingxiyuan where the eldest daughter lived.
