Chapter 11 I Testify

Luo Qingnian looked at Liu Luoying in a mixed mood: "Yes, Ying'er and your mother are really like her, and she made her misjudged the person for a while."

"Ying'er has only seen a portrait of her mother. If her grandfather doesn't dislike her, can she tell Ying'er about her mother's story?"

Hearing this, the old man's heart seemed to be stabbed into a sharp blade, and it hurt a lot. He suddenly remembered that his lonely granddaughter was the truly pitiful child. He had lost his mother since he was a child and was helpless in that family.

He felt loving and his attitude towards Liu Luoying also changed. He smiled kindly for the first time and his voice was even gentle: "Okay, when my grandfather dealt with this dirty thing, I will tell you."

After saying that, Luo Qingnian turned his eyes to Luo Ting, suddenly turned his face coldly, and scolded: "You rebellious son, go to the snow to kneel down and think about where this dirty thing came from! If you still don't give honest advice, I'll ask someone to take you to the yamen!"

Luo Ting remained silent, just lowered his head to pick up the dagger in front of him, but was stepped on by the old lady next to Aunt Chun.

"I still want to take away the dirt? It's true that I'm just like your embarrassing mother, a naughty embryo!"

Logically speaking, when his son was scolded by the servant, Luo Gufeng, as his father, should be furious, but he had no expression on his face, as if he had nothing to do with him, drinking tea and eating pastries on his own.

At this moment, Liu Luoying realized how difficult Luo Ting's life in the Luo family was, and even a slave dared to insult him.

She felt sympathy and thought about how to help. Yu Guang saw the dagger picked up by the woman and couldn't help but be stunned: Isn't that the one that was mortgaged in the inn?

"That's my thing, I should give it back to me!" As the girl in pink coat and cotton-padded jacket spoke, the old woman hurriedly squeezed out a flattering smile on her face, holding a dagger in both hands and handing it to her.

Luo Qingqing, the orphan of the three families of the Luo family, and the only daughter of the whole family.

Unlike Liu Luoying, she is full of love. To put it bluntly, in the Luo family, except for the old man, she is the biggest, so she has developed her arrogant and domineering personality.

Liu Luoying and this cousin, who is only three months apart, seem to be in a desperate situation. No one looks down on each other and will be pinched as soon as they meet.

The difference is that Luo Qingqing is very good at speaking, while Liu Luoying has always been a gentleman who does not speak, so she has been punished to kneel on the ancestral hall for this reason.

"The thief who steals things, I'm gonna be!" Luo Qingqing held the dagger proudly and spat at Luo Ting when she passed by him.

Seeing this scene, a nameless fire suddenly rose in Liu Luoying's heart. I don't know where the courage came from, but in front of everyone, he stepped forward a few steps and grabbed Luo Qingqing's arm holding the dagger.

"Liu Luoying! What are you doing? You're going to grab it openly!"

"You said this is your thing?"

A panic flashed in Luo Qingqing's eyes, but she quickly calmed down, raised her head and said, "It's my thing, why do you want it?"

"Haha, this dagger is clearly a thank you gift from Ying'er to her second cousin. When will it become a cousin's thing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their eyes to Luo Qingqing, which made her forehead feel cold sweat.

Luo Qing frowned and asked, "Ying'er, you said that this dagger was given to Luo Ting, is there any evidence?"

"Maternal grandfather, if you don't believe me, you can call my personal maid Yingchun to ask questions, and she is outside the door." After that, before Luo Qingnian could speak, Liu Luoying strode out of the tent and pulled the little maid in.

"Yingchun, please testify with me. Did I buy that dagger for thirty taels of silver in Nanling City?"

Yingchun looked along the direction of the lady's finger, nodded, and said with confusion: "Yes, did the second lady say that Mr. Luo had knocked off the jade pendant in order to buy medicine for you, so you want to thank him?"

Hearing this, Luo Qingnian's face became even more gloomy. His eyes looked at Luo Qingqing, and he also showed dissatisfaction and blame.

"Maternal grandfather, you have heard it too. If you don't believe it, you can go to the owner of Nanlingcheng Inn to inquire. Ying'er bought it from him."

Now it is the time to escape, and no one will really investigate. Besides, everyone has already understood Luo Qingqing's guilty expression.

However, even though they knew the truth, no one stood up to apologize for Luo Ting, but they all looked indifferent.

It’s like when I was eating, I bite a pepper to break. Even if the mouth is numb, it doesn’t hurt or itchy, just pick it out.

Luo Gufeng stood up, yawned lazily, and whispered slightly to Luo Qingnian: "Father, my son didn't sleep well last night, so I'll go back to make up for it."

"Master, wait for me!" Seeing that something was wrong, Aunt Chun took a small step and followed closely behind.

As the few people left, the rest of the people watching the fun in the house also found a reason and walked out of the tent calmly.

Luo Qingqing had relieved her emotions at this moment, and there was no guilt on her face. Instead, she pulled a smug smile on her lips and walked to Liu Luoying with mocking words: "Hehe, for such a cheap person, I spent thirty taels of silver, and my cousin was really generous."

"I am willing to give all my money to my second cousin. I feel sorry for a villain like you who even spends a penny."

The two of them spoke very little, but Luo Ting was only one meter away from them, and he could not stop talking.

The heart that had been frozen was gradually warming, and a layer of joy surged in his low eyes - she, really, is very good!

At the high position, Luo Qingqing sighed, pointed at Luo Qingqing, and scolded: "Qing'er, you have never had enough food and clothing at home, so why should you do this? If you like it, please tell your grandfather that I will buy it for you."

"Grandfather, Qing'er knew she was wrong." Luo Qingqing blinked aggrievedly and admitted her mistake obediently.

This move is very difficult. No matter how big the disaster she causes, she can easily avoid punishment.

"Well, go back and think about your mistakes."

"Yes, grandfather."

Luo Qingqing turned around and raised her eyebrows provocatively at Liu Luoying, as if she was saying, "Let's see what you can do to me."

"My grandfather, if the matter is done, it will only encourage her cousin's arrogance in the future and make her more disrespectful to etiquette. If something happens outside, who can end it for her?" Liu Luoying suddenly knelt on the ground and looked directly at Luo Qingnian without fear.

This courage, if she had never done before, would have never been able to do it.

I don’t know what happened today, but she has such courage.

"Cousin, I'm just having fun with my second brother, why do you have to be so serious? Besides, the elders have nothing to say. Why are you a foreigner here to point fingers?"

"Fun? If I hadn't accidentally met you today and testified for my second cousin, how would you treat him? Even if I am a foreigner, I always have to be conscientious. Is my cousin so casually and robbed him, wouldn't he feel any guilt?"

Luo Qingqing opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself, but was slapped on the table by Luo Qingnian and was so scared that she immediately shut her mouth.

"Qing'er, I just thought you had some enlightenment and asked you to go back and repent. But now it seems that I have indeed been arrogant and made you so lawless, and even dared to be so disrespectful to your cousin. Do you still have the etiquette and etiquette in your eyes?"

"Grandfather, Qing'er didn't mean that."
