At that time, Luo Chengzhang considered that the family scandal should not be publicized, so he temporarily announced that the family would leave.Luo Yining returned to the yard sadly, and soon after, Luo Chengzhang asked her to go to the ancestral hall.Luo Shenyuan realized that the matter was not simple, so he personally went to the mountain to ask Mrs. Luo to take charge of the overall situation.
After Luo Yining arrived at the ancestral hall, he found that Luo Chengzhang, Lin Yueru, Chen Lan and his uncle Luo Chengwen were all present.Chen Lan took out the love letter Luo Chengwen wrote to Luo Yining's mother. It turned out that Luo Chengwen had always admired Luo Yining's mother.Now, these old events were revealed by Chen Lan. Luo Chengwen explained that he just had a secret love. He grew up with Minglan and Luo Chengzhang. Later, Mrs. Luo betrothed Minglan to Luo Chengzhang, and he gave up thinking about it., and even swore an oath for it.
At the same time, Luo Shenyuan had found Mrs. Luo and brought the old lady who helped Minglan deliver the baby.Late at night, Mrs. Luo asked her grandma in detail about Minglan's child.The old grandma recalled that Luo Chengzhang and Minglan had already written a letter of separation at that time, and Minglan lived alone in another courtyard.Once, several soldiers broke into the courtyard and kidnapped Minglan, saying they wanted to take care of an injured general.
Later, Minglan returned home safely, and everyone gradually forgot about the incident.But a few months later, Minglan developed symptoms of nausea, and then Luo Yining was born.Now, Luo Yining's biological father only knows that he is a general, and nothing else is known.Mrs. Luo was shocked when she heard these truths for the first time.Luo Shenyuan, who was in the dark, also heard the whole story. In fact, he had already suspected it, but now that Chen Lan was throwing dirty water on Luo Yining, he must keep this secret strictly.
After Mrs. Luo asked her to go back, she called Luo Shenyuan and made him swear to protect Luo Yining forever in his life.Luo Shenyuan knew what this meant, so he swore the oath resolutely.
That night, Luo Shenyuan rushed back to Luofu overnight and came to the ancestral hall. When he saw Minglan's portrait, he knew that Luo Yining was about to face a storm and silently prayed in his heart that Minglan's spirit in heaven could protect her.
During the day, Luo Chengzhang interrogated the old woman about what happened back then. The old woman insisted that Minglan was innocent and that Luo Yining was the seventh girl of the Luo family.But Chen Lan had bribed another old servant in advance, so Luo Chengzhang firmly believed that Luo Yining was not his biological child.Luo Yining couldn't bear to see her elderly grandmother being beaten, so she took the initiative to go back to the woodshed to receive punishment.
After being severely beaten, the old woman was imprisoned in the woodshed and her life was in danger.On her deathbed, she told Luo Yining that Minglan loved her very much and gave her a pendant given to Minglan by her biological father.After saying this, the old woman fell into a coma.
At the same time, Luo Shenyuan launched an investigation near the other courtyard described by the old grandmother.Some residents nearby still remembered the incident of the refugees, so Luo Shenyuan targeted Taoyuan Villa.A general did live there once, but he later left because of the tight fighting on the front line.
In order to prevent Chen Lan from stirring up trouble again, Mrs. Luo personally reported to the official.Chen Lan angrily accused the old lady of favoring the second bedroom, but Mrs. Luo reminded her that Luo Mansion still has her three children.As for whether the Luo family's scandal should be spread everywhere, Mrs. Luo didn't think it was important.Old Mrs. Luo caught Chen Lan's weakness. Chen Lan regretted it when she saw several children outside the door who were waiting to be married or to obtain academic honors.
Luo Shenyuan finally found Luo Yining's biological father, the British father.The British gentleman had never had a wife or concubine until he reached middle age. It turned out that he had always been thinking about Minglan in his heart.Luo Shenyuan immediately came to the British Duke's Mansion with Minglan's portrait. After seeing the portrait, the British Duke understood what happened and immediately followed Luo Shenyuan to the Luo Mansion.
At this time, Luo Yilian finally found an opportunity for revenge.She specially went to her father to complain in a more embellished manner, saying that it would be better to drive Luo Yining out as soon as possible while Mrs. Luo was suffering from a headache and couldn't care about it.As a result, Luo Chengzhang really had people take Luo Yining away overnight, and ordered him to be beaten twenty times and then expelled from Luo Mansion.
Luo Yining was so beaten that he fainted and died. At this time, the British Duke arrived.He quickly surrounded the entire ancestral hall and ordered to stop using the stick.The British Duke saw Luo Yining's jade pendant dropped on the ground and immediately recognized it as his daughter.Then, he reminded Luo Chengzhang that Minglan already had a harmonious identity back then, so there was no problem of disturbing customs.Now, Luo Yining is his legitimate daughter, and no one is allowed to hurt her.
