Steps to Be Phoenix

"Those who shouldn't give birth to their sons are fortunate." The Old Lady Camel turned to Fourth Aunt and said, "It's fortunate that the concubine was unable to give birth to a son, otherwise, it would have been useless even if you could give birth to a son. While I, this old bastard, am still useful, I can help you a little, in the future … " Everyone in the room knew what would happen in the future.

Fourth Aunt hurriedly answered, and picked up some nice words to say one by one, coaxing Old Lady Camel to the point of beaming with joy.

On the other side, Luo Ming Lei was still provoking Luo Ming Yan and Luo Ming Shi, when Luo Ming Xue arrived late.

When Luo Ming Lei saw his elder sister acting like this, the flames that was extinguished immediately flared up again, "That's right, elder sister you don't know, Second sister being here to pay respects is really too late, she doesn't even put mother in her eyes."

"Good, Luo Ming Shi, you're actually looking down on my mother. Not only is you not filial, you're also disrespectful to my mother," Luo Ming Xue agreed, but in his heart, he also felt that something was wrong, but he still continued to speak, "Our Luo Family having a person like you is really a misfortune of our family, I want to report this to father …"

Before she could even finish speaking, she was interrupted by First Lady, who was extremely displeased to see her own daughter acting in such a manner. She was sharp, harsh, and deliberately made things difficult. This attitude was very similar to those concubines who were secretive. She was full of a petty temper, but she was also one who liked to think she was smart.

When it came to talking about her own daughter's shortcomings, First Lady could speak for two hours without any rest. Then, looking at Luo Ming Shi who was sitting at the other side, holding a teacup with two fingers, and tapping the lid of the cup with her other delicate jade hand, the creamy glaze of the teacup, it seemed that although her two hands looked a little better, the hot air slowly scattered on her pretty and delicate face, making her appear hazy and calm.

He turned a deaf ear to the provocation of the two as if they were nothing at all to him. The noble air he exuded was very similar to that of all the young misses, and he had also thought to himself, "If only Mingshi was his own daughter." This thought flashed through his mind before he quickly threw it away.

Luo Ming Shi really did not take their provocation seriously at all, since she did not want to offend Luo Ming Xue under the First Lady's watch, after all, from today onwards, he would have to put up a good show.

First Lady was furious, and then she thought about the creator of this situation, Old Madam Luo. She then said to the four of them: "It's rare to see all of you come today, as the old lady is the best when she is old. "I should fulfill all the rules of this residence!"

You're not letting me live peacefully, and I'm not letting you live comfortably either. Aren't you using the rules to pressure me?

Luo Ming Shi felt that he could somewhat see through the old lady's thoughts, so he could only smile without uttering a word.

Luo Ming Yan's tiny face revealed a stern expression as he obediently answered yes, but he didn't seem to be happy or angry at all.

Luo Ming Lei felt that the old lady had treated him quite well, and since he had also felt that he had offended the First Lady, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Only Luo Ming Xue had a bitter face. Although she was raised by the Old Mistress, she also knew that the Old Mistress did not like her and would always make things difficult for her. How could someone as arrogant as her, the young miss of the Luo Fu, endure such petty grievances?

But no matter how she thought, First Lady still led a group of people to Nanshan Courtyard. Because Nanshan Courtyard was quiet all year round, only the old lady and Fourth Aunt stayed there.

Because First Lady was accompanied by ancient green lights and buddhas all year round, she was barely able to stand on time. However, the children were a bit fidgety, because this place was truly terrifyingly quiet.

Only Luo Ming Shi stood there silently with his eyes closed, as if he was listening to something, and enjoying it at the same time. What was strange was that a child who was only ten years old would actually be completely at odds with this quiet and distant scene, and his face naturally revealed a hint of serenity and comfort that could not be described with words.

When First Lady saw this scene, she subconsciously thought highly of Luo Ming Xue.

Grandma Chen walked out from beside the old mistress, bowed towards her, and said, "The old mistress has woken up, and said to let you in, please enter." After saying that, he bowed towards First Lady.

First Lady led the way in, and the others followed closely behind.

The old mistress was nowhere to be seen in the hall. Her voice came from behind the blue silk curtain. "Everyone is here."

After that, the First Lady waited silently for a moment before taking the initiative to step forward and greet them, "Today, all these little ones are here to pay respects. I am comforted, they are all filial children and still want to pay respects to the old lady, I secretly thought that this is also in accordance with the rules, but after thinking that the old lady's health is not good, I advised them not to stay too long."

After First Lady finished speaking, Luo Ming Yan immediately responded in a clever manner, "Greetings to Grandmother."

Luo Ming Lei was initially distracted, upon hearing that Luo Ming Yan was ahead of him, he immediately shouted out, "Greetings to Grandmother," and did not finish her sentence, "I have not seen Grandmother for a few days, is Grandmother in good health?"

Luo Ming Shi also replied with a smile, and only after that did Luo Ming Xue unwillingly do the same.

The madame was still speechless, she heard the voice of the Fourth Aunt saying, "Aunt is not very well, a few days ago the Imperial Physician Qian was checking his pulse saying that Aunt is already old, and could not take the toil, and needs to rest in peace." Saying that, everyone only saw Fourth Aunt holding onto the Old Granny's arm walking out, Grandma Chen hurriedly going forward to help pull the curtains.
