To Hold One's Joy Chapter 14-2

 Chapter 14-2: Punishment

Sheng Laotaitai sighed heavily, her face filled with shame: "Sheng'er, we wronged you." Her son-in-law sent his pair of children to the Sheng family to take care of them, but instead, such an embarrassing thing happened.

Luo Sheng slightly bent her knees towards Sheng Laotaitai and said earnestly: "This matter has nothing to do with others. It was Sheng Jialan who harmed me." The young girl who was really harmed by Sheng Jialan was no longer present.

Luo Sheng sighed inwardly and said in her heart: Miss Luo, I have already taken revenge for you, so you can go in peace. I will also clean up and be responsible for the troubles you left behind. And I want to use this body to meet the people I want to see and do my unfinished business.

Luo Sheng's words made Sheng Laotaitai even more apologetic, and she quickly reassured her: "Sheng'er, don't worry, I won't protect Jialan. She will bear the consequences of her wrongdoings." Luo Sheng nodded slightly: "How Waizumu wants to deal with her is entirely up to Waizumu." With that, Sheng Laotaitai ordered Sheng Jialan to be taken away.

A slight cough interrupted the conversation, causing Sheng Laotaitai's heart to tighten again. "Chen'er, how are you feeling?" she asked with concern. Luo Chen moved his hand and smiled, "Waizumu, don't worry. I'm feeling fine, but I'd like to go back and rest." Sheng Laotaitai hurriedly nodded, "I'll have your biaoge take you back to your room."

"I'll take my younger brother back." Luo Sheng interjected. Luo Chen firmly declined: "No need." After considering for a moment, he didn't want Luo Sheng to misunderstand his intentions and hastily added with a serious expression, "I'm just stating the truth, nothing more. Don't read too much into it."

Luo Sheng decided not to argue with Luo Chen, understanding that his words didn't reflect his true feelings. Sheng Dalang stepped forward and offered, "Biaodi, let me take you back." "We'll also accompany Biaodi," added Sheng Erlang and the others.

In a blink of an eye, half of the people in the room had left. Luo Sheng bid farewell to Sheng Laotaitai, saying, "Waizumu, I'll go back as well." "Go ahead. Jiayu, you can also go back," replied Sheng Laotaitai.

After Luo Sheng and Sheng Jiayu departed, Sheng Laotaitai's expression turned cold. She turned to Sheng Dataitai and instructed, "Once Jialan wakes up, send her to the countryside manor. She is not allowed to interact with others for the rest of her life."

As for evading public scrutiny and marrying someone else after some time, it will not happen. She can't marry off a young girl who can kill someone out of jealousy. Such actions would harm other people. To grow old and spend the rest of her life in seclusion in the countryside is Sheng Jialan's fate.

Sheng Dataitai sighed and, after careful consideration, asked, "Should we consult with Husband[1] about the situation?" Sheng Laotaitai responded impatiently, "Just inform him my decision when he returns." "Understood," Sheng Dataitai replied, though her heart was filled with lingering fear.

She had regarded Sheng Jialan as a companion for her daughter, but little did she know that the girl was a venomous snake. A person who dared to kill someone because of jealousy, what if Jiayu lost her life one day because of offending her?

Speaking of which, she owes it to Miss Luo. Sheng Dataitai's impression of Luo Sheng secretly improved a bit.

Sheng Laotaitai issued another instruction, "Aside from the servants in my courtyard who are already aware of today's events, ensure that this incident does not spread outside." Everyone in the hall nodded in agreement, and the ruckus was considered resolved.

Instead of returning to her residence, Luo Sheng went to Luo Chen's residence. She encountered Sheng Dalang and the others preparing to leave at the courtyard gate after escorting Luo Chen back.

"Biaomei came to visit your brother?" Sheng Dalang greeted her first, while Sheng Erlang looked slightly awkward and even forgot to wave his gold-painted folding fan.

Luo Sheng slightly bowed to the four of them and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Biaoge, Biaodi, for sending my brother back." Without pausing, Luo Sheng continued walking past the four of them and made her way directly to the room.

THOJ Chapter 1

 TO HOLD'S ONE JOY  Chapter 1: Devil Incarnate Luo Sheng gazed at the engraved silver incense ball beneath the emerald green curtain. Her eyes, which before had been full of vigor, seemed a little dull now, and the chattering of the little maid in her ears became louder as a result. "Miss, isn't it just a Su Er Gongzi [1] ? If you like him, you could capture him directly, but hanging yourself for him is not worth it, hu hu hu..." Luo Sheng shifted her gaze to the little maid who was crying at the bedside. This little maid's name is Hongdou (red bean), and she can speak and cry at the same time. It's been three days since she heard Hongdou's chatters, and she's gained a general understanding of her situation. Her present body, Luo Sheng, is the daughter of the powerful Commander Luo, the chief commander of Jinlin Guards. She was sent to her maternal ancestral home in Jinsha County, the Sheng family's mansion, where she currently resides, after getti...

THOJ Chapter 2

  Chapter 2: Unsweet Twisted Melon At the Su Mansion, which is only across the street from Sheng Mansion, the atmosphere is very tense. In the room, Sheng Dataitai and Su Taitai were discussing the marriage, while in the courtyard stood several juniors, each with an angry face. "Erge, why don't you go in and talk with Mother? What if she really agrees? A young girl in a green dress looked anxious and tugged on the sleeve of a young man. The young man, about 16 or 17 years old, was Su Yao, Su family ergongzi, who was known throughout Jinsha County and even Jinling Prefecture as a handsome man, comparable to Pan An and Song Yu. Su Yao is supporting the magnolia in the courtyard, which is in full bloom. His eyes are calmly looking toward the room's entrance.  Another girl in a pomegranate skirt snorted and said angrily, " Jiejie , don't talk nonsense; how could Mother agree to someone like Luo Sheng?" Su Daguniang glanced at her younger sister and lowered her vo...

To Hold One's Joy Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Kaiyang Wang's Greetings Luo Sheng returned to the Luo Mansion and went straight to her room, never stepping outside again. Si Nan had been freed, but it left her feeling burdened. After all, her heart wasn't made of iron. Pingli was furious upon learning that Luo Sheng had killed Si Nan. "Didn't Fifth Brother accompany Third Miss? Why did you allow her to lay her hands on the criminal?" he demanded of Yundong. "Third Miss said that she wanted to speak privately with Si Nan... I'm sorry, Eldest Brother, I didn't anticipate that Third Miss would take such action," Yundong apologized, though his heart harbored no remorse. The man was killed in Jinlin Guards Prison, so the news would remain suppressed unless Pingli chose to disclose it. Pingli might have considered leaking the information if Godfather had not regained consciousness. However, now that Godfather was awake, he didn't think Pingli dared to do so. Pingli obviously also un...
