The people who were called nodded their heads and said 'yes', but no one saw that Ju Hong did not go to the south hall to check on Ji Yu. Instead, she followed Qin San and the others towards the cellar in the backyard.
Leng Hong Xiu waved her hand, indicating for the girls to disperse. She then said to Hong Ye, "Hong Ma, you should go to sleep as well. I've been tired since last night, if there's anything else, I'll take care of it."
"But, Master?"
"No worries, go on!"
After everyone had left, Leng Hong Xiu looked a little tired and supported herself on a chair to sit down. She had a pained expression on her face and both Bu Luo and Lang Ye rushed forward in surprise and worry. Lang Ye also instantly transformed back into a human form and anxiously shouted, "Mother, what's wrong? Which part of your body is not feeling well? "
As soon as he said that, he secretly followed up. It was Concourse of the Underworld who had been hiding in the dark and didn't dare to offer his life. Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore and appeared beside Leng Hong Xiu and hugged her, "Leng Hong Xiu, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? "
Although the pain was not light, Leng Hong Xiu still pinched Sen Luo hard, causing him to grit his teeth in pain, "Do you guys take my words to heart one by one? This little one is like this, the big one is like this too. If you don't cause me any trouble, does it mean that my bones will itch? "
"Leng Hong Xiu, listen to me, I did not plan to make this happen. Luo'er said that she would take care of it and I agreed. How could I have known that he would bring this person to find you?"
Sen Luo was in a hurry to defend himself. In fact, when that darn officer first saw Leng Hong Xiu, Sen Luo already knew that he was doomed and had caused trouble again, but there was no time to stop him. He thought to himself that as long as he did not appear, even if Leng Hong Xiu was angry, she would not be able to deal with him.
"You are usually so cruel and merciless, why do you always keep your tail behind when things happen? You brought that damned thing here, how can I not touch him based on the sins he committed? But do you know how much trouble it would cause if he died in the Red Chamber? " Leng Hong Xiu was really unable to continue scolding him. She did not know what to say about them. He was a child, so there were some things that he did not care about. He was an adult, so why was he always so naive?
"Hong Xiu, are you really afraid of the Nine Nations? Furthermore, your nine clans aren't here. If we leave, who will be able to find us? "
In fact, he already knew that things were not as simple as he said, no matter how much that mayor deserved to die, in the law of the human race, it was definitely not the same thing as having a servant die or a court official die, not to mention that the court officer had been murdered by someone from the brothel, so the plot was definitely not normal. At this moment, he also realized that the official should have brought his men into his yard, which meant that there was nothing he could do now.
When Leng Hong Xiu heard this, she almost fell into a rage, but the sudden sharp pain caused her to be unable to say even louder words, and cold sweat started to pour out of her forehead. Without even needing to ask, she already knew that the pain came for no reason, and it was definitely not from her body, but because of a child in her womb.
"Don't be angry, I was wrong, I was wrong. Lang Ye and I are responsible for erasing the memories of everyone who knew about today's incident, and then we will bring that damned official's corpse to his own house. If this happens, we won't be able to investigate the situation with the red house, okay?"
When Lang Ye heard that he was going to spend a lot of mana to complete this task, he too, couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Sen Luo, but he received a cold and threatening gaze from Sen Luo, as well as a head full of sweat from Leng Hong Xiu. He nodded and agreed, "Yes, young master, you don't have to worry. Lang Ye and Sen Luo will settle this together."
Leng Hong Xiu took a deep breath with great difficulty and was not willing to waste any more time cursing at them. She could only helplessly say: "Originally it was a very simple matter, but you guys insisted on making it so complicated! Forget it, Sen Luo, let me down. I don't want you to hold me. "
At the same time, a fire started burning in his heart, "Red Sleeve, I know that you are not happy, but this is not my fault. We don't have to worry about the money, so it's fine that you came to the Red Chamber, but you don't allow us to follow you, since you are my partner and Luo'er's mother, but you always like to leave us to do your own things, how can we be at ease? You said we weren't allowed to come for three days and weren't even going home. Did you know that thieves entered our house yesterday, and because I listened to you and didn't easily kill the humans, I let those three thieves run away and brought back a group of people? I didn't kill that group of thieves because of your words, which is why I summoned that damn city official. Do you know all of this? You care about this crappy red house, the place you bought is more important, or me and Luo'er are more important? You humans often say that couples have to take care of each other. Why don't you think about me and Luo'er? Being scolded by you and beaten by you, Luo'er and I have never complained or fought back before. Leng Hong Xiu, you tell me, what else do you want? "
"Say that I'm willful, say that I'm immature, say that I don't think about the consequences of things, you're because the people I think about are all you, everything about you is the center of gravity in my mind, why should I think about other people who are concerned with me? I am a demoness, not a human, even if I look like a human, I am still a demoness, you can't always ask me to be like a puppet, not caring about anything, just be obedient, and more so, you can't just let me understand and guess what your human actions mean, right? Leng Hong Xiu, that's impossible, just understanding you, being alone, being with you alone, loving you alone, I feel very busy and too late, what do you want me to do? "
Sen Luo almost shouted the last sentence. Finally, he ignored Leng Hong Xiu's pale face and disappeared from where he stood. Leng Hong Xiu, on the other hand, sat on the chair absent-mindedly.
Lang Ye was hesitating on whether he should go find Sen Luo, but this was the first time Lang Ye had seen his father so stern and rude. The way he talked to his mother was mostly worried about his mother's reaction, after all, he and his father were both very clear on her cold and stubborn temper. What should he do if he decided not to bother with his father in the future?
However, Leng Hong Xiu did not jump up and down in anger like the others had feared, nor did she laugh coldly. She only sat there quietly, but her face was a little paler.
She already knew that Sen Luo's good nature and tolerance for her was not innate and that she would erupt one day. However, she didn't expect it to come so fast and to be so ruthless.
Was it because she was asking too much of him? Or did she really think too little of him? Unfortunately, before she even stepped into the hall, her innocence had already been nipped. When she met Sen Luo, she had already completely lost all sense of cleanliness in her soul, and never thought that she would have a relationship with Sen Luo. Once they had a relationship, she made another mistake, thinking that once they had a relationship, there would be no conflicts between them.
It was clear that some of his dissatisfaction with her had not been for a day or two. He was just patient, telling himself that she was the woman he loved deeply and that he should tolerate her as much as he could.
And she herself was also enduring it. Before one child could take care of her, there was another stomach. No matter how much she told herself that everything was gradually entering a better situation, the fear in her heart still existed. She was not a meticulous person, so she was not able to keenly sense her uneasiness, thus after her uneasiness accumulated, Leng Hong Xiu felt that her temper was a little irritable.
Coming to the Red Chamber was not because Sen Luo thought she didn't care about him and her son; she just wanted to give herself a chance to breathe in this insignificant place. Being together all day long, she was afraid that she would soon get tired of it, and as they got along, she always felt that she was missing something, but she couldn't say exactly what it was that she was missing. The child was already born, Sen Luo said he loved her, and she also liked him, so what was lacking?
As such, Leng Hong Xiu felt that she was making trouble for herself, causing trouble for no reason. Actually, was it really necessary for her to be angry at Luo'er and Sen Luo for not listening to her words and staying in the house?
However, this was not the first time she felt this sense of deficiency.
Now that Sen Luo had left in anger, she felt even more depressed and uncomfortable in her heart. Compared to when he left, she didn't feel the pain in her stomach anymore. She rubbed Luo'er's little head and said softly, "Luo'er, I'm sorry. I was the one who vented my anger on you and Sen Luo."
"Mother? What's the matter with you? Luo'er did not listen to her mother's words and stayed home obediently. Luo'er even caused trouble for your mother, mother, don't be angry, Luo'er will definitely be obedient from now on, and you shouldn't be angry at father, because Luo'er also angered father yesterday! "
Bu Luo looked at Leng Hong Xiu in shock. He was so anxious that he even panicked when he spoke. His mother actually said sorry. He was really not used to this.
Leng Hong Xiu shook her head at him, "It's alright. Sen Luo won't blame you. He's easier to coax than you, so why would he be angry at you?"
"Mother, are you angry with daddy? He spoke to you so fiercely just now? " However, at the moment, he was more worried about Leng Hong Xiu being angry at him than at himself.
Leng Hong Xiu shook her head again, "I made him angry, so why would I blame him? I'll take care of the things here and come back immediately. From now on, I won't come back here anymore. Luo'er, go back and tell your dad, remember? "
"Mother, Luo'er will remember this!" Bu Luo immediately nodded.
"Lang Ye, bring Luo'er back. There is no need to erase that memory anymore. I will deal with it!" Leng Hong Xiu's expression could not conceal her fatigue. Lang Ye knew that Sen Luo's words had given Leng Hong Xiu quite a shock. He did not say anything further and just silently hugged her, disappearing from where he stood.
In the wide hall, only Leng Hong Xiu was left sitting on a chair. One of her hands was still resting on her forehead tiredly as she closed her eyes to adjust her body that had been tormented by the intense pain.
Before he had even closed the cup of tea, Lan Hong and Hong Fu's figures were already running over. Leng Hong Xiu heard the sound and immediately raised her head, but in that instant, there was no sign of fatigue on her face. She asked, "What's the matter?"
"Master, Ju Hong, she …"
"What happened to Ju Hong?" Leng Hong Xiu had a bad feeling in her heart. Previously, Ju Hong had so much hatred towards the city official. Now that Lan Hong and the rest have this kind of expression, there's a high chance that lass has done something stupid.
"She, she took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, and killed the City Official and his guards. The words' The mayor is my murderer 'were written on the ground in blood! "Ju Hong, she, she …" She could not finish her words. Her tears were already raging as she sobbed.
Leng Hong Xiu's heart was once again shaken. She understood that Ju Hong did not want to implicate the other people in the Red Chamber of Commerce to choose such a method. It was just that did this girl know that she had died in vain? Did she think that by writing that line of blood, Red Chamber would be able to survive? Stupid!
Since she was dead, she had to do a good job with the aftermath of the crime and not bring disaster to the entire Red Chamber of Commerce. After all, since Red Chamber was already of this scale and had so many people under her protection, she should let it continue to exist. She did not do many good deeds in her life and this Red Chamber was going to end up doing good deeds.
