Harem: Luo Chen's Resentment

The man with his back to Luo Ning slowly turned his head. He was dressed in all white, and had a pair of beautiful eyes that did not contain any impurities, which were crystal clear yet bottomless, as he looked at Luo Ning with a bland smile. His skin was as translucent as jade, and his long, dark black hair hung down from his shoulders, suffused with a dim light. His figure was tall, straight, and beautiful. Standing in front of his, it was hard to describe his elegance! Luo Ning searched through his memories to find someone he knew, but he didn't know who this person was.

"Excuse me, benefactor, your …" Luo Ning asked, he wanted Master Zhang to thank him.

"Cousin, we don't know each other anymore?" A man dressed in armor appeared out of nowhere and patted Luo Ning's shoulders fiercely. Luo Ning looked at this person's black skin and square face, which was far from that person's. Luo Ning secretly compared the both of them.

When Mrs. Love got off the carriage, she heard their conversation. "Is it Mu Yan and Heng'er?" Mrs. Love looked at the two dashing men. They were too similar to his appearance.

"Mu Yan, Heng'er, pay respects to Aunt," The two men kneeled on the ground as Mrs. Love quickly supported the two men and introduced Luo Ning to them.

Luo Ning stood where he was in a daze. When he was young, he asked his sister about his grandfather's family, and his mother kept crying. After that, he never asked her about it again.

Mrs. Love saw that Luo Ning was standing there in a daze, so he called him over to meet his two cousins.

"Luo Ning pays his respects to his two cousins. Thank you for helping us earlier." Luo Ning sincerely gave them his regards. If not for them, his mother would have been in trouble.

Shangguan Muyan helped Luo Ning up, and said: "We're family, why are you being so polite?" Luo Ning gave him a friendly smile, then looked at his other cousin. Shangguan Heng also smiled at him, but Luo Ning felt that his smile was mixed with something else.

Luo Ning ordered for the corpses of the black clothed men to be brought back as he attempted to assassinate the family members of the imperial court.

"Cousin, how come you're here?" Luo Ning asked while riding on his horse.

"That's …"

"We are here for business," Shangguan Heng stopped his cousin Shangguan Muyan as he spoke, giving him a stern warning. A few days ago, they received a letter saying that their aunt, Shangguan Rou, had returned to the house and would be in danger on the way back. When his grandparents saw him, they ordered him to stay with his big brother on the road, which happened to save them today. But who was the messenger? Why did he tell them this? One of his cousins was now a queen, the Shangguan family had unintentionally gotten too close to the Luo family, that person's suspicion was too great.

Shangguan Muyan was stared at by his own brother, but when he remembered his grandfather's warning, he quickly shut his mouth and started to chat with Luo Ning.

The two Mrs. Love s from Shangguan were escorting them all the way to the capital city. "Aunt, would you like to come with us to the Manor?" asked. His grandparents always wanted to meet their aunt.

Mrs. Love shook her head while holding back her tears. She was an unfilial daughter, and was not worthy to see her parents, "Aunty, I will not go. I will go when I have the chance."

Hearing his aunt's words, the two Shangguan family members left with their people. Shangguan Muyan and Luo Ning waved goodbye. Along the way, he chatted with Luo Ning, but he found that Luo Ning suited his taste. When Luo Ning heard that his mother did not go to the government, he was disappointed. His mother had actually always wanted to go see her grandparents. However, he did not know what had happened between these adults.

When Mrs. Love returned to her residence, she washed Red Aunt and personally helped her put on her birthday clothes. She did not set up a memorial hall for Red Aunt and only ordered for him to be buried well. The coronation ceremony and the little prince's full moon wine were about to be held. When Luo Tan returned home, he was shocked to see a corpse laid out in the courtyard. Calling Luo Ning over to ask if they were injured, Luo Ning told his father everything that had happened. Luo Tan was very surprised, the ones who saved them were the Shangguan Family.

Luo Tan recalled what happened back then. At that time, he was a poor student who studied diligently. Afterwards, the emperor did not disappoint those who wanted to be ranked as the top official, holding a small position in the imperial court. At a banquet held by Shangguan Chui, he accidentally lost his way and wandered around in search of a way out. He turned to see a woman dancing in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. She was dressed in red, dancing to the instrument. A gentle breeze blew away the veil covering the woman's face, revealing her delicate face. It could really be said that there was a beauty in the north who was peerless and independent. With a single glance, she could overthrow a city and overturn a kingdom! Luo Tan's heart was beating very fast, as if it was going to rush out from his chest.

"Quick, come, miss has fallen into the water …" A scream came back to Luo Tan's senses, and the woman fell into the water. With a leap, Luo Tan saved her.

The servants of the Shangguan family quickly escorted the young miss back to her room and invited the old master over. Luo Tan was brought to the guest room and changed into a new set of clothes. Then, he was invited to the study room. Entering the room, he saw Sir Shangguan and two young men sitting on chairs, staring at him. They told Luo Tan that the one who fell into the water was Shangguan Rou, the young miss of the Shangguan family. They hoped that Luo Tan would forget about this matter and that the Shangguan family would help him out.

Luo Tan was also well aware that the Shangguan Family would not allow his young miss to marry him, so he agreed, but he rejected their help. Luo Tan returned home disappointed, and drank alone until daybreak. The woman was like a bright moon in the sky, untouchable. However, Shangguan Rou had fallen for Luo Tan and desperately wanted to marry him. In the end, Shangguan Rou married Luo Tan and cut off all relations with her family. The Shangguan family also announced that there would never be a Shangguan Rou in the future.

"Forget it, I'm already old. Why would I be reminded of the past?" Luo Tan spoke alone.

Luo Tan ordered Luo Ning to report this matter to the officials, this matter was intolerable, they had gone too far! After Luo Tan finished arranging everything, he went to his room. Standing at the door, he heard his wife's suppressed cries. "Ahong, I've let you down. Father, mother, it's Rou-Er's fault. Wuu …"

Luo Tan immediately shed two streams of old tears. It was he who had let his wife down. He lightly pushed the door open and entered, gently embracing her in his arms, he looked at his wife who was crying merrily, Luo Tan felt his heart ache: "Rou Er, let's go see father?"

"Master," Mrs. Love raised her head in shock. Her father had sent people to suppress him in the government before, making it harder for him to walk on the official road than others. She was even released for seven years, "There's no need. Mrs. Love was always smart since she was young, she knew a little about the government. This time, Luo Er being conferred the title of Empress was definitely related to her mother being weak. If there was a strong relationship with the Shangguan Family, it would not be good for Luo Er, nor would it be good for the Shangguan Family.

The two brothers also returned home and explained their aunt's situation to their family. When Old Mrs. Shangguan heard that her daughter was still unwilling to return home, she secretly wiped her tears away and glared at her master.
