To Hold One's Joy Chapter 15-1

 Chapter 15-1: Fell Ill

Luo Sheng walked away gracefully, leaving the four men looking at each other in dismay, feeling embarrassed. Sheng Erlang unhappily commented, "Did you hear what she said? Thank you, Biaoge, Biaodi, for bringing my brother back. Hah, it is clear that we have a closer relationship with Biaodi, why do her words sound so unpleasant to my ear?"

Sheng Dalang disagreed and glanced at Sheng Erlang: "There's nothing wrong with Biaomei's words, Erdi. You're just being picky." Sheng Erlang raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled meaningfully, "Dage, you used to refer Luo Biaomei with her surname. Why do you sound so familiar now, calling her with biaomei only?"

Sheng Dalang's expression darkened: "Erdi, don't talk nonsense. And shouldn't you apologize to Biaomei?"

"What do I need to apologize for?" Sheng Erlang flicked the folding fan to divert his uneasiness. Sheng Sanlang kindly reminded: "Erge, you used to misunderstand that Luo biaomei had harmed Ermei."

When Sheng Jialan was mentioned, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. Sheng Silang asked in a low voice: "Dage, how do you think Zumu will punish Erjie?" The Sheng family is simple and harmonious. Although the four brothers have not spent much time with Sheng Jialan, they still share a good relationship.

Sheng Dalang remained silent for a long time, then patted his younger brother's head: "We shouldn't pry too much into the elders' affairs" As he spoke, his gaze then shifted to the other brothers, and he said seriously: "Let this serve as a warning to us so that we don't make the same mistakes as Ermei in the future."

"Yes." The three said in unison. Sheng Dalang noticed that Luo Chen's servants in the courtyard were already looking out curiously, he put his fist to his lips and cleared his throat: "Let's go." If they stayed here any longer, people might misunderstand and think they were reluctant to leave after seeing Luo Biaomei. For Sheng Dalang, Luo Sheng's behavior today had changed his impression of her, and he was somewhat impressed. However, he had no intention of becoming Zumu's grandson-in-law. 

The four brothers walked away instantly, and the servant guarding the courtyard turned his eyes and pondered: The four young masters seemed different today. Could it be because they met Miss Luo? Speaking of Miss Luo, although she was notorious for her fierceness, she was undeniably beautiful. The servant's gaze drifted toward the room's entrance as he silently contemplated.

The room was filled with a faint medicinal smell, a smell familiar to Luo Chen. "Young master, Miss Luo is here." Upon hearing this, Luo Chen frowned. He had already told her that she didn't need to see him off, so why was she here?

Observing Luo Chen's silence, the servant quickly asked, "Shall I ask her to leave?" Luo Chen looked displeased at the servant and replied, "Who gave you the authority to make your own decisions? Invite her in."

The servant, failing to flatter his master, responded bitterly with a "yes" and quickly invited Luo Sheng inside. The bamboo curtain rustled, and Luo Sheng entered, accompanied by Hongdou.

"What are you doing here?" Luo Chen asked, his expression serious. Luo Sheng's lips curved slightly as she replied, "I came to see if you're feeling better." Luo Chen turned his face away: "You're not a doctor, so what's the point of visiting me?"

Seeing that Luo Chen's spirit was still high, Luo Sheng didn't plan to stay long. "Then rest well. I'll come to see you again tomorrow," she said, preparing to take her leave. The corner of Luo Chen's mouth trembled. Is this the attitude of visiting sick people? There is no sincerity at all. 

As he saw Luo Sheng turning to leave,  Luo Chen shouted: "Wait." Luo Sheng halted: "Is there something else, Xiaodi[1]?" The word "xiaodi" made Luo Chen quite uncomfortable, he frowned before saying to Hongdou and the servant in the room: "Both of you, leave the room." 

Hongdou glanced at Luo Sheng, saw her nodding slightly, turned around, and went out, not forgetting to drag the servant out, too: "Can't you follow your master's orders? How tactless." This kind of slow-witted servant is not even worthy of carrying Miss' shoes, let alone competing for a spot to stroll the streets with Miss, that is to say, there is no competitiveness here in Jinsha. 

The little maid standing under the veranda thought melancholy and missed the prosperity and wantonness of the capital.

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

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

To Hold One's Joy Chapter 57-1

 Chapter 57-1: Divine Doctor's Visit The echo of footsteps resonated as an elderly man emerged from behind the screen, causing Luo Sheng's eyelashes to quiver. In comparison to a decade ago, Divine Doctor Li had scarcely changed. His hair remained silver without a hint of other colors, and his eyes shone with more vitality than those of young people. Time seems to have forgotten this old man, leaving his unaltered appearance to evoke a sense of familiarity in Luo Sheng. However, the same couldn't be said for Divine Doctor Li. He stared at the unfamiliar young girl before him with a grim expression and addressed her sternly, "Where's the Yangyuan Pill?" Luo Sheng handed him a small box. Upon opening it and seeing the pills inside, Divine Doctor Li's eyes shrank. He brought the box close to his nose, took a sniff, and his expression soured. "Where did you get this pill?" he asked. Luo Sheng blinked. Her bright eyes showed surprise. "Yo
