Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 256 I liked Third Sister

Luo Baiqiong wanted to say something, but the words wouldn’t come out of her mouth. Sun Meiniang came up and moved away the hands of the two servants who were holding her daughter. While untying Luo Baiqiong, she pointed with her polished fair finger at the two servants and the woman servant who beat Luo Baiqiong, and screamed, “You are blind. How dare you be disrespectful to the Miss? Do you want to live or not? Come on, drag them out and throw the book at them!”

The servants were scared and knelt down to beg for mercy. One of them kowtowed and said, “Second Mistress Luo, forgive us. We are all directly under Bao Qin Ge. We have always been diligent and conscientious, and we never made any mistakes. We are innocent! Just now, Administrator Ding ran away and asked us to rush to the ancestral hall. He said that if we see a suspicious woman, we should immediately gag her and pinned her on the spot, so we come here and asked the guardian of the ancestral hall. He said that only Third Miss had been in there before, so we rushed in and got her down. We are just innocent!”

Another servant also pleaded, “Forgive us! We did nothing disrespectful to Second Miss, except for covering her mouth.”

Ding Rong’s wife rushed over, with a bunch of brass keys in her hand. She threw the keys at the two servants’ heads and faces, cursing in hatred, “You do the great wrong thing and want to deny it? There are lanterns everywhere in the ancestral hall. How can you not recognize Second Miss? How can you mistake the identity?” She hit them even harder when she spoke.

Seeing that the two servants were bloody, the woman servant was so scared that she screamed and slapped herself. At the same time, she defended, “Second Mistress Luo, you just said to enforce the family discipline. I follow your order and slap myself thirty times. But even you didn’t recognize Second Miss. How can I see her clearly? Please forgive me!”

Madam Luo was disturbed by their words, so she stopped them, “Enough! Where is the guardian of the ancestral hall? What the hell is going on?”

Some servants who knew the specific situation saw that there was a big trouble, so naturally, they refused to go up to be in trouble. They hesitated, and no one went up to reply Madam Luo. Seeing that, Madam Luo was angry and shouted, “Come on, everyone. Calm down.” On the third day of the new year, other families would stay together in happiness and peacefulness, but the Luo’s Family was in chaotic. They even aired the dirty laundry in public. Madam Luo wondered if the marriage would be successful.

Sun Meiniang held her daughter’s swollen face, and repeatedly asked her about her condition, but she couldn’t get a reply. She thought it was the wrong of the servant woman who slapped her daughter, so she immediately pointed to the servant woman and said against the Madam Luo’s words, “Go on! Slap her mouth!”

When the servant woman slapped herself, Ding Rong’s wife swung a bunch of keys, attacking the heads of the two strong servants. For all this, they didn’t mean to evade. After all, the punishment was much lighter than the family discipline. Madam Luo’s lips trembled with anger, but Luo Baiqian, who was possessed by Qi Chuan, suddenly burst into laughter. Luo Baiji frowned and asked him, “Elder brother, why are you laughing? What is wrong with you?” Others thought that Luo Baiqian was attacked by insanity, and Luo Baiji also thought so.

Qi Chuan imitated Ding Rong’s wife’s movement of waving keys with both hands, and said with a smile, “She can play kung fu! Look, she seems to be playing a meteor hammer and a nine-section whip.”

Feng Yang also laughed, “She’s really good at it. Luo’s Family is full of talents!” After that, he skillfully changed the subject, and questioned from a fair standpoint, “Second Mistress Luo, you said that they are disrespectful to the Miss, so they have to be punished severely. But just now, when you recognized Second Miss as Third Sister, your movements were not merciful at all. Second Miss is the master, so what about Third Sister?”

Sun Meiniang held her daughter’s swollen face, and she was wrathful, “He Danggui set fire! He Danggui curse people with witchcraft! Of course, He Danggui should be beaten fiercely! Our family affairs in Luo’s Mansion are none of your business!”

Meng Ying organized the silk ribbon hanging down from the topknot, and said with a vague smile, “Brother Feng, Brother Ning, since the master is unhappy, let’s not make trouble here. I heard that fireworks on Yueyang Tower are very beautiful. Why don’t we see it together?” Ning Yuan nodded when he heard that.

Madam Luo hurriedly kept guests, “It’s rainy outside and it’s after midnight. If you three guests leave like this, our Luo’s Family will be a joke for not treating guests well.” Then she turned her head and scolded Sun Meiniang, “Apologize to the guests quickly! Is your eccentric disease not healed yet!”

Luo Baiji was also outraged after hearing Sun Meiniang’s words, “Second Aunt, don’t slander others! We all know well about the temper of Third Sister and you. Yesterday, I went to visit Third Sister. She has not recovered from the ill until now. How could she run out and set fire? She is the most cautious, most loyal and most harmless person in the family. If she really did what you said, I would not write in the future.”

Sun Meiniang was struggling whether to obey Madam Luo’s words and apologize to Feng Yang. When she heard that Luo Baiji defended He Danggui, she shouted at him, “Baiji, your mother died on the third day of the new year. It’s her death anniversary. You don’t go home to offer sacrifices to her, but mess with us here. As your aunt, I persuade you to go back to your yard and turn over the ground. Maybe there are some evil things buried in your yard that delude you to go to Tao Yao Yard every day.”

Madam Luo was so angry that she wanted to hit the wall. She thought it was terrible. Sun Meiniang actually said such silly words in front of the person who proposed the marriage. This marriage would be over! As expected, she saw Ning Yuan’s sullen look, and Ning Yuan looked at Luo Baiji with a vague expression.

Before Madam Luo said anything, Luo Baiji flushed and admitted in public, “I like Third Sister and appreciate her temperament. She is different from you. She is the one I admire most in this family.” After he spoke, there seemed to be a weight in his heart that was relieved. This morning, when he heard that Madam Luo called Feng Yang and the others to enter the inner hall to talk about Third Sister’s marriage, he felt sad, fearing that it would be too late to show his love to Third Sister.

At this time, everyone was there. Madam Luo always loved him. Even if she didn’t immediately agree to betroth Third Sister to him, she would seriously consider his opinions and postpone the matchmaking of Third Sister. He knew that Third Sister didn’t like Madam Luo to mess with her marriage. Every time Madam Luo arranged a match for her, Third Sister seemed to be preoccupied. And after a few days, the marriage would be failed. He probably knew that she was playing tricks on it, and he secretly admired her and rejoiced. But he also blamed himself for not being able to help her. He couldn’t solve problems for her.

“Ha!” Sun Meiniang patted his thigh happily, “Did you hear him, Madam? Your good granddaughter is so young, but she has learned to seduce men. She even picked her own elder brother!”

Madam Luo gasped with anger after hearing Sun Meiniang’s words, not because her grandson fell in love with her granddaughter, but because Sun Meiniang was disrupting Yi’s marriage on purpose. Luo Baiji didn’t expect that his words would have such a counter-effect, and he didn’t expect Second Aunt to be so vicious. Suddenly, he didn’t know what to say.

Then Qi Chuan said, “The lady who can seduce men is here. Sister Qingyi will not be able to compete with her even after ten years of practice.” Except for the three guests, everyone present knew who he was talking about.

Luo Baiqiong pulled away from Sun Meiniang when she heard Qi Chuan’s words. She ran over to scratch Qi Chuan’s face. Qi Chuan was also a swordsman when he lived, but now he couldn’t manipulate Luo Baiqian’s body freely. He couldn’t even walk smoothly, and sometimes he would fall. At this moment, Luo Baiqiong suddenly came to him, so he had no time to dodge her. Surely, Luo Baiqian’s face was scratched. Qi Chuan pulled Ning Yuan over him as a shield. Ning Yuan didn’t move, building a wall of Zhenqi that separated Luo Baiqiong and caused her to retreat three steps.

Luo Baiqiong backed up uncertainly, and then rushed towards Luo Baiji. She spoke, “Second Brother! Do you know who is your family? Why did you defend a foreigner?” Luo Baiqiong and First Mistress Luo, Mrs. Zhao, liked to call He Danggui as “foreigner”. Once Liao Qing’er heard it and chuckled, saying that Xiaoyi was a pretty foreigner.

Luo Baiji evaded Luo Baiqiong sideways. Luo Baiqiong couldn’t stop and slammed into the arms of her father Luo Chuangu. Her father was trying to suppress the discomfort in his throat, but under the impact, he felt sick and vomited. The filth fell on Luo Baiqiong’s hairpin, and then dripped further down. Luo Baiqiong cried out loudly. Her father and mother surrounded her to apologize and comfort her.

On the other side, the corporal punishment of the two servants and the servant woman not ended. The three people wailed and begged for forgiveness. Feng Yang couldn’t stand it, and said in a deep voice, “What wrong did they commit? They have become totally unrecognizable but cannot pay off? Why offending Third Sister is a matter of course, and offending Second Miss is a great crime? We just found Second Miss in the ancestral hall, and a servant woman reported that the smoke billowed in the direction of the ancestral hall. Second Mistress Luo, why did you insist that it was Third Sister who set the fire?”

Sun Meiniang swore something, but it was prevailed by Qi Chuan’s loud cry, “Ah! I’m disfigured! Is Luo Baiqiong’s hand poisonous? Ah-ah-ah…”

The rain floating in the sky suddenly turned into large drops of ice water droplets, pouring down towards everyone. Madam Luo also said something, but the howling of the servants and Qi Chuan’s cry were too loud, so others couldn’t hear her. On the other side, Ning Yuan greeted Meng Ying and Feng Yang. Then they turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall.

Madam Luo looked anxious. She turned around to grab the glazed lantern in Pu Gongying’s hand and slammed it on the ground. She shouted, like firecrackers exploded from her lungs, “I’m not dead yet, but you start wailing! Sun Meiniang, how dare you make a show of authority? I entertained the distinguished guests all day, but you offended them with a few words! You teach the servants in front of the whole family. What do you mean?”

Madam Luo’s stringency instantly shocked everyone, and the three people who were about to walk out of the ancestral hall also stopped. Feng Yang turned around and smiled, “Madam Luo, don’t worry. We are just looking for a place to shelter from the rain.”

“Open the middle door of the ancestral hall!” Madam Luo hurriedly ordered the servants, “Who has the key to the ancestral hall? Open the door lock of the ancestral hall and invite three distinguished guests to go into it! Come on! Everyone, let’s go. In the face of our ancestors, we settle the deal of Luo’s Family.”

A fat middle-aged man ran up with the key, shouting, “Here… Here is the person who set the fire!”

Following him, some people escorted a tied girl in blue clothes. Everyone could not see the girl’s face clearly because of the lighting and angle, but Sun Meiniang laughed proudly, “Slap her thirty times to teach her a lesson! Set fire? Huh, people who set fire in ancient times would be stripped and paraded!”

Pu Gongying behind Madam Luo suddenly rushed over to stand in front of the girl with open arms, and cried, “Madam Luo, help! Second Mistress Luo, please spare her, for the sake of the dead Gan Cao!”
