C78

The wind gradually blew away the dark clouds and the white fog. The lightning and the heavy rain left a few puddles in the middle of the yard. Only the corrugated roof was left, and the green leaves that were dancing in the air would occasionally drip a few drops of water.

Above Zi Luo Tang, the sky gradually cleared up.

In the courtyard, there was a group of women kneeling on the ground. Their bodies were all drenched and their clothes had long since become heavy with water, but none of them wanted to leave.

Luo Shang's lips had turned white, cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and even her body was trembling uncontrollably;

"Princess …"

Xiao Zhu, who was kneeling beside her, immediately tensed up when she saw Shen Changqing's personal maidservant bringing a few other servant s over.

Luo Shang and the rest also looked over.

The maidservant walked forward and gave a few light coughs, and then said with reason: "Aunt said, Luo Shang is guilty, so naturally, she cannot be forgiven. If there is someone who wants to be with her, Aunt will not let them off easily either."

Xiao Zhu tightly gripped her sleeves, and all the Southern Garden dancer s lowered their heads. Manager Shen had never liked being threatened by others. This time, the entire Southern Garden would request for orders for Luo Shang, so it was likely that Lord Management would be displeased by it, which was why she gave such an order.

"Did you all hear that clearly? Why are you still kneeling here? Do you really have to make Aunt angry? " Seeing the Southern Garden dancer s not moving, Shen Changqing's personal girls reminded them.

"They were confused for a moment, and did not intentionally disobey Lord Management's orders. They will leave right away, I hope that the young lady will forgive them, and I must make Aunt feel at ease." Luo Shang lifted her head and spoke with great difficulty, her wet hair still dripping with water, sticking closely to her back. Two strands of hair on his chest had already turned into Liu Er.

When her clothes got wet, they stuck even tighter to her body, immediately revealing her enchanting figure, but also constantly revealing her emaciated and frail appearance.

None of the Southern Garden dancer s wanted to leave as they continued to kneel. They declared, "We are willing to bear the burden together with Princess Hua-Yang."

Luo Shang's words, as well as the message that was sent out by the young lady, were all illogical. They truly angered the young lady to the point that she wanted to stomp her feet. You … You guys are really stubborn. If you like to kneel so much, you can just kneel. "

When she turned around, she was startled by the sudden appearance of another wave of people.

The leader led the twenty odd dancer s to kneel down at the same time. "Eastern Courtyard dancer s beg Lord Management s to forgive the wangfei."

"You all …" Before the girl could finish, another group of people walked over.

They also kneeled down and said, "dancer of the Northern Courtyard requests Lord Management to forgive the wangfei."

"Spindler asked Lord Management to forgive Princess Hua-Yang."

"All singers of the Immortal Music Pavilion are begging the Lord Management …"

"…"

maidservant was stunned, the little girl pulled on her sleeves and asked her what to do.

"How should I know what to do? The four of you stay here. The rest of you, follow me back to report to my aunt."

Xiao Zhu raised her head to look at the people kneeling behind him, she was ecstatic, and hot tears filled her eyes. She had said so long ago, of course. Her consort was so kind, someone would see it sooner or later.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Luo Shang, will engrave your kindness onto my heart. From the moment this matter began, I shall bear the responsibility myself. Please go back. " Luo Shang didn't want to have anyone accompany her and she had never thought that there would be so many people who would plead on her behalf.

Everyone kneeled down obediently in the courtyard. There were many people lining up all the way to the entrance of the courtyard; no one was willing to leave.

"Flower Soul Exhibition will arrive in a few days, so Lord Management will definitely consider the big picture and forgive me. Everyone, you don't have to be so careful because of me at this crucial time, please leave." Luo Shang exhorted her once again with painstaking efforts.

"A voice came from the crowd." Since the wangfei is kind and everyone knows that we are sisters with the dancer s of Southern Garden, they naturally would not ignore us. Princess, you mustn't say too much. "

So it turned out that there were actually women with Backyard who were loyal and loyal. Since Luo Shang could not persuade them, she was afraid that it would hurt the heart of the kind, and so she did not reject them.

An hour had passed before Shen Changqing's close maidservant returned. She was panting heavily as she listened to her conversation with the few servant s, it seemed like Miss Cai Er had come over and had a long conversation with her. She had been waiting outside the door the entire time.

"A few days later will be the Flower Soul Exhibition. Considering the seriousness of the matter, Aunt is determined to not pursue the matter and to not pursue the crime of sitting down with you either."

Hearing her say that, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, the burden in their hearts had been lifted, Xiao Zhu began to cry, she had truly scared her, and thought that Manager Shen would definitely not let her off lightly.

"But …"

Everyone looked up in surprise. But what?

"But Luo Shang must move to the West Garden's side courtyard. If there is nothing else, she is not allowed to take even half a step out of the side courtyard."

To put it bluntly, West Garden Courtyard was a courtyard that was as abandoned as a woodshed. Not to mention living, even staying there for a short period of time would not be unbearable. Moreover, without the order of the Patriarch, no one was allowed to take even half a step, what was this?

Xiao Zhu clenched her fist. She originally wanted to argue a bit with the maidservant, but was stopped by Luo Shang. She shook her head and said: "Many thanks Aunt."

"In that case, go back and pack your clothes, then move in." After maidservant finished speaking, she glanced at her, flicked her sleeves and left.

"Princess, we'll go and plead for you. We won't let you suffer any grievances by staying there." The Southern Garden dancer s said solemnly.

Luo Shang immediately opened her mouth and said: "It's alright. Furthermore, I do not feel that I have been wronged.

Luo Shang laughed, and with Xiao Zhu's support, she disappeared from everyone's line of sight.

She knew that the reason Shen Changqing told her to move to another place was to give herself a way out of this predicament. Otherwise, how would she be able to intimidate others? Secondly, it was also to protect her life. After all, staying in the West Garden was not something Qing Ning would let go of.

Backyard —

"Sister Qing Ning, Lou... Luo Shang is back. " A dancer stood at the door and watched for a long time, only to see a human figure walking over, and she quickly told Qing Ning.

Qing Ning put down the teacup in her hand and immediately stood up, her expression sunk and she slammed the table. She did not expect Luo Shang to return here alive, was Shen Shou really going to let her go so easily?

It was really strange, Manager Shen had never allowed anyone to talk to her about breaking into her room, furthermore, there were so many people requesting orders for Luo Shang. Shen Changqing had always hated people threatening her, the two Luo Shang s both stood together, why would they let this matter pass so peacefully.

She also walked towards the door, and from afar, she saw Luo Shang walking over, and she really did return.

Leaning on the railing next to the door, Qing Ning walked up the steps as she raised her finger, and mockingly said, "Oh, I am so happy for you to be able to come back alive."

"How can you say that?" Xiao Zhu felt a burst of unhappiness in her heart. She originally wanted to retort at her words, but was stopped by Luo Shang.

Luo Shang did not speak, under Xiao Zhu's support, she walked straight into the room and packed up her things. With one look at the creases on her clothes, it was obvious that they had been deliberately kneaded by someone, she searched through the chuang head, the cabinet, and the drawers, but she could not find the item.

"Bring it here."

Both of Qing Ning's hands were wrapped around her shoulders, her deep red lips pursed as she coldly laughed, and confidently said: "What?"

"Phoenix-Tail Pearl."

She had always regarded that phoenix flawless pearl hairpin as a very important thing that Nalan Rongya had given her on the day of her marriage. She had kept it in the box and even after searching through every nook and cranny she could find, she still could not find it.

Other than the lady in the room, other than Qing Ning, who else would take this item?

"What a joke. Why would you ask me for something you lost? I'm a young lady from the prefectural city of Zhi, not to mention a phoenix blemish bead, even if you gave me ten, I would still not be interested." Qing Ning spoke frankly, she did not look guilty at all.

"That batch of phoenix flawless pearls tribute from the Western Regions was passed down from the Nalan Clan, the State Duke of the dynasty. Please give it back to me. "

Let alone ten, even a single phoenix blemish bead was not something that a small county like her could boast about. Just the Nalan Clan's name alone was already priceless.

"I told you, it's not here." Qing Ning pushed Luo Shang away, but was pulled back by her arms.

"The Nalan Clan's Feng Shuang Pearl is shaped like a colorful pearl, there is only one Mei in this world. Since Miss Qing Ning has stated that it has nothing to do with you, can you allow me to inspect it?"

Qing Ning shook off Luo Shang's hand that was pulling her arm, and with a pleased smile in his eyes, she said: "Bright gold, you really can speak lies with your eyes open."

After she finished speaking, she did not forget to lift her face up and smile complacently.

The dancer standing beside her all lowered their heads and coughed lightly. Qing Ning pondered for a while before finally reacting, it turned out that this damnable woman was trying to trick him.

On Luo Shang's nose, her beautiful eyes casually blinked.

"Give it back to me."

Qing Ning also knew that she had accidentally revealed the hairpin in her hand, causing her to be unable to continue acting. I took it, so what? "

As she spoke, she took a step forward and stared at Luo Shang. You want me to return it to you? "I can …"

She slowly took out a beautiful hairpin filled with shining golden beads from her sleeve and purposely waved it in front of Luo Shang with a sinister smile on her lips.

"Don't …"

After Luo Shang stopped her, the hairpin also fell onto the ground, producing a 'bang' sound.

"Aiyo, I'm really sorry, I couldn't hold it steady. What a pity, tsk tsk …" Qing Ning looked at Luo Shang's dazed look, at the moment when she bent down and picked up the golden hairpin that had been cut into two, her expression was filled with sorrow.

Luo Shang picked up the hairpin and placed it on her palm. She looked at it and held it tightly.

"Princess …" Xiao Zhu glared at Qing Ning, and called him over. She only felt that it must be hard on Concubine Wangfei in her heart, but she only heard Luo Shang sigh lightly, and said: "Let's go."

Xiao Zhu followed behind her and left the West Garden with her.

It's fine if it's broken, but even the heart isn't complete, let alone this hairpin …
