 Chapter 24-2: Foul Mouth The scandal involving Sheng Erguniang quickly spread throughout Jinsha County, resulting in the members of the Sheng Mansion rarely venturing outside. Luo Sheng remained indifferent to the impact she brought upon the Sheng Mansion. Or rather, in her opinion, it was Sheng Jialan who had caused the problem, and it would be ridiculous if they were to blame the victim (herself) instead. However, not everyone thinks so. Hongdou stepped into the laundry courtyard with a pouch in her sleeve and heard a mouthful of discussion. "Miss Luo is too inconsiderate to the Sheng family, making it difficult for us to hold our heads up in public—" The sound of Hongdou's arrival made several pozi [1] who were hanging the clothes all turn their heads. Their expressions froze when they saw Hongdou's fierce face. After a moment of silence, one of the pozi mustered an awkward smile and said, "Hongdou Dajie, are you here to deliver dirty laundry?" ...

 Chapter 24-1: Foul Mouth "Laotaitai, Hongdou is here to deliver food." Upon hearing Caixia's report, Sheng Laotaitai cleared her throat reservedly: "Let's set the meal." Caixia first laid out the dishes sent by the main kitchen, one by one. Coincidentally, there was also a portion of braised pork among them. Sheng Laotaitai lost her appetite after glancing at it. It wasn't that the dish looked or tasted bad. The cooks in the Sheng mansion were not lacking in skill. But having the same kind of food over the years made it monotonous and unappealing. Noticing Sheng Laotaitai's expression, Caixia swiftly opened the food box that Hongdou had brought and took out a black clay pot. A fragrant aroma filled the air as soon as the lid was lifted. Sheng Laotaitai couldn't help but crane her neck for a better look. Inside the shallow-bottomed black clay pot were neatly arranged pieces of braised pork glistening like amber and sprinkled with finely cho...

 Chapter 23: Return a Favor Luo Sheng returned to the room as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, Sheng Jiayu knelt in front of Sheng Dataitai and wept bitterly. "Mother, it's my fault for not stopping Biaojie...—" As she looked at her daughter, whose eyes were red from crying, Sheng Dataitai felt a mix of distress and frustration. She thought Sheng Jialan's scandal had been suppressed, but now everyone knew about it. Why were these girls so difficult to handle? Feeling a heavy weight in her chest, Sheng Dataitai rose from her seat. "This matter concerns the reputation of the Sheng family. Come with me to your Zumu's place." Sheng Jiayu followed Sheng Dataitai to Funing Hall mindlessly. Sheng Laotaitai, who had grown accustomed to the meals delivered by Luo Sheng over the past two days, was dissatisfied as today's meal had not arrived. Just then, she heard her maid, Caixia, announce the arrival of Sheng Dataitai. Sheng Laotaitai raised her eyel...

 Chapter 22: Scapegoat Luo Sheng's response took Su Daguniang aback, and she froze on the spot momentarily. Su Erguniang, on the other hand, was furious and couldn't hold back her anger. "My sister has already shown you enough courtesy, and yet you still want more?" she retorted, her voice filled with indignation. How can there be such a rude person in this world? Luo Sheng maintained her composed demeanor and met Su Erguniang's fury with a cold gaze. "Isn't it Su Erguniang who initially spoke impolitely? Your sister was humiliated because she apologized to me on your behalf. Still, instead of feeling remorse for your actions, you continue to be this arrogant towards me. Is that not unreasonable?" she replied, her voice firm and unwavering. "You—" Su Erguniang's face flushed with anger as she retorted, "And what you did isn't arrogant? I've never seen anyone so unforgiving, even after receiving an apology!" Luo Sheng...

 Chapter 21-2: I Do Mind "Young master, it's time to eat." Fusong laid out the meals brought from the mansion's kitchen one by one. The meal consists of a bowl of porridge, chicken soup, and two refreshing side dishes suitable for sick patients. Luo Chen frowned: "I'm not hungry yet." He unconsciously glanced towards the door, feeling a little angry. Didn't she say she would send another bowl of porridge? Sure enough, he shouldn't have expected too much from Luo Sheng. Lost in his sulking, Luo Chen was caught off guard by Hongdou's arrival. She greeted him with a smile, "This time, it's fish fillet porridge, and Miss cooked it herself." "I don't like fish," was what Luo Chen said. However, after a while, Fusong fixated his gaze on the shiny bowl and couldn't help but silently grumble to himself. "You said you don't like fish? I was hoping that young master would stop eating so I could have the le...

 Chapter 21-1: I Do Mind On her way out of Luo Chen's residence, Luo Sheng encountered the two doctors, Wang Dafu and Li Dafu. "Wang Dafu, please stay," Luo Sheng called out composedly. Wang Dafu, carrying the medicine box, paused and quickly approached to greet her. Meanwhile, Li Dafu was puzzled by Wang Dafu's reaction. He couldn't help but wonder why Wang Dafu had been so polite to Luo Sheng yesterday, even going so far as to bow deeply to her. He couldn't fathom the reason behind it. Luo Sheng glanced at the medicine box that Wang Dafu was carrying and asked, "Are the two doctors leaving Sheng Mansion?" Wang Dafu hurriedly replied, "The young master's fever has subsided, so we will return to our clinic for now and come back again tomorrow." "Wang Dafu, let's talk," Luo Sheng said, pointing to the pavilion not far away. Wang Dafu followed her to the pavilion, while Li Dafu subconsciously tried to follow but was st...

 Chapter 20-2: Mouth-Watering After exchanging greetings with Sheng Laotaitai, Luo Sheng glanced at Luo Chen several times before asking, "Have you had breakfast?" Luo Chen turned away and replied casually, "I just took my medicine." Luo Sheng smiled gently and said, "Perfect timing then. I made a bowl of porridge for you." The corner of Luo Chen's mouth twitched as he responded coldly, "I don't want to eat it." He ate that bowl of porridge yesterday not for Luo Sheng's sake but merely out of curiosity. "Didn't you eat the porridge that Hongdou delivered last night?" Luo Sheng asked. "It was so terrible." Sensing the tense atmosphere, Sheng Laotaitai cleared her throat and asked, "Sheng'er can still cook porridge?" "Yes." Luo Sheng answered shortly and asked casually, "Has Waizumu had breakfast?" Sheng Laotaitai choked for a while. This question is difficult to answer. Of...
