Chapter 151: Honor in troubled times 119
Mrs. Luo sent money home a few days ago and asked the doctor, and knew that Mr. Yang was in a bad health these days.
She was always unable to concentrate when cooking for the old man at the Xiao family these two days. She always thought about her father-in-law and daughter. She was afraid that her father-in-law would have something to do, and that her daughter would be bullied at home without anyone taking care of her.
However, there was nowhere to express these thoughts in her mind.
In addition to worrying, she also had to endure the old man's harassment from time to time. In addition to making food for the old man, she also had to warm the bed for him, which made Luo's life very painful every day.
On that day, Mr. Luo said to the old man, saying that he wanted to go out to buy something and bring some fresh fruits and other things.
The old man gave Luo some money and asked her to bring some pickles when she came back, and asked Luo to buy two beautiful clothes, buy pullovers and other things.
Luo did not refuse.
She needs money in particular now.
She took the money and left.
After coming out of the mansion here, I thought about going home to see my daughter.
Before I could go far, I was stopped.
"Our wife is welcome."
The two tall and strong men blocked Luo's family. The two men had murderous aura on their bodies. They saw that they had killed people at first sight, which scared Luo.
"I, what lady, I don't recognize it."
Luo turned around and wanted to run away.
One of the men stopped her, the other man covered Luo's mouth and nose with a handkerchief, carried her directly into an alley.
When Mrs. Luo woke up again, she saw a woman sitting not far away in front of her who was dressed simply but looked majestic and beautiful, unlike a mortal.
"Who are you?"
She was scared and forced herself to sit down and ask the woman opposite her.
Sitting opposite Roche is An Ning.
An Ning put down the teacup in her hand and smiled at Luo: "Don't be afraid, I asked you to come."
Mrs. Luo smiled bitterly: "Madam is really good at joking. Is that a request?"
"I was frightened."
An Ning raised his hand and a girl brought the food over.
An Ning said, "If you are hungry, eat something first and put it on your feet. After eating, let's talk."
Luo was really hungry now. She looked at the food on the table and it was very suitable for her taste.
She thought that the lady in front of her would not poison the food. If the lady wanted to kill her, she would not have let her come over, and she would have killed her halfway.
She picked up the bowl and ate.
After dinner, Luo looked at An Ning vigilantly: "What are you looking for me?"
An Ning asked someone to take down the food and send some fruits.
"I'm going to come here, so of course I have something to say."
An Ning was not sitting properly and her posture was very casual, but she felt an indescribable feeling of freedom.
"You don't recognize me, so I'll introduce myself. My surname is Liu, my husband's surname is Xiao, and the one you serve is from my husband's family."
Her words made Luo know who she was.
Luo knew that the old man who served him was His Majesty's elder. An Ning said that the old man was from her husband's family, that is, An Ning was the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. Among all the female relatives of the Xiao family known to Luo, the only one with the surname Liu in his maiden family was named Liu.
"I've seen the Empress."
Luo was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The civilian woman didn't know it was you, so she offended her for a moment, and the civilian woman was sentenced to death."
She was so scared that she couldn't help but bent her head, her face looked very ugly, and her whole body was trembling in fear.
This woman is not a brave woman.
An Ning reached out and helped her up: "Sit."
Mrs. Luo didn't dare to sit, and An Ning didn't have to let her sit down: "I came to you because I knew about you and the old man. This matter is because our family is sorry for you."
An Ning's words made Luo lower his head and cry in his eyes.
She was afraid just now, just because An Ning was here to cure her.
But An Ning said she was sorry for her, which made Luo feel a little more comfortable, and at the same time, she also felt like she was being cared for.
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "This is my fault, why did the Empress apologize to me?"
An Ning waved her hand: "Listen to me."
Mrs. Luo didn't dare to speak anymore.
An Ning waited for a while and said, "I know the situation of your family, and I know what kind of person the old man is. To put it bluntly, he is becoming more and more confused now. I don't know about your affairs, so I can't continue like this. I invite you to ask what you mean. If you don't want to serve him anymore, I will also give you some compensation to let you go home and live a stable life."
Luo lowered his head and said nothing.
An Ning continued: "If you want to continue serving him, I will also give you some benefits, such as letting the imperial physician treat your old man. In the future, your daughter will get married, and I will ask Princess Fengyang to give her a dowry."
Mrs. Luo was shocked when he heard this: "What do the Empress want me to do?"
An Ning knew what Luo’s meaning was.
Mrs. Luo should be thinking that she is already unclean, so what can she do if she goes back? It would be better to follow the old man to earn more money.
She is in great difficulty at home now and needs her to get the money back.
She cooked for the old man at the Xiao family, and paid a lot of wages. In addition, the old man often subsidized a little, so she could use the money to support her family. If she didn't stay in the Xiao family and wanted to find such a job, it would probably be impossible.
"You get the salary, and I will give you another portion. As long as you keep an eye on the old man, don't let him do something foolish again. You report to me whatever he wants. As long as you can make him not cause trouble and let him stay in the mansion, even if you have the most achievements, are you willing?"
An Ning asked Luo in a deep voice.
Luo thought for a while and she felt that this could be done.
Anyway, she has already done this, so it would be better to just give it a try and earn more money.
Luo's money matters are still behind. The key is that as long as she promises An Ning, her father-in-law can get good treatment. Her daughter may find a good family in the future, which is what makes her most moved.
"I do."
Luo gritted his teeth and agreed cruelly: "Don't worry, Empress, I will definitely be optimistic about the old man and not let him seek trouble."
An Ning nodded with a smile.
This Luo is not very brave, but he is also a smart person.
"That's good. I'll feel at ease with you."
An Ning stood up and walked out: "I'll have someone take you back later."
Mrs. Luo quickly knelt down and greeted An Ning.
When An Ning walked to the door, she didn't reply: "The embroidery work of Honghua is very good. I like it very much. When I got free, I asked her to make some small items for me."
Luo was happy: "This is her blessing."
An Ning then hurriedly left with the girls.
Luo saw An Ning leave before he carefully stood up.
She breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat beads from her forehead with a handkerchief, and then she wanted to drink a sip of water when she saw a little girl coming out to take her away.
Mrs. Luo came out of this alley and walked home while recalling what An Ning said to her. As she thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh.
She thought, this was the luck of Honghua.
The Queen asked the Red Flowers to do embroidery work, which was obviously to lift the Red Flowers. With the Queen, the life of the Red Flowers would be much better in the future.
Also, as long as she does what the Queen has assigned, there may be benefits in the future.
Luo did not think about herself. She just thought that she could earn more money, save more dowry for Honghua, and buy more good tonics for Mr. Yang.
