To Hold One's Joy Chapter 52-2

 Chapter 52-2: Keep Calm Typically, there were numerous individuals seeking medical treatment, which led the barren area in front of Divine Doctor's residence to transform into a makeshift tea stand and even host a food stall. However, even on those occasions, the crowd hadn't been as substantial as it was today. After all, getting an audience with Divine Doctor was no easy feat, and he only attended to a maximum of three patients in a single day. The young gatekeeper cast a suspicious gaze outside. His intuition was correct; the tea stalls were brimming with customers, and many had brought their own small mats. As the gatekeeper boy tried to make sense of the situation, the crowd outside began to grow restless. Impatient murmurs rippled through the gathered individuals, their heads frequently swiveling as they scanned their surroundings. Wasn't it rumored that Commander Luo's legitimate daughter was supposed to arrive today to pressure Divine Doctor Li? So, why h...

 Chapter 52-1: Keep Calm "Is it true that Miss Luo intends to force Divine Doctor Li to treat Commander Luo tomorrow?" "Tsk tsk, having such a troublesome daughter is quite unfortunate." "I doubt this Miss Luo's audacity will last for long." "Absolutely. This young lady has done little to no good for years and managed to offend numerous people." Conversations like these circulated through countless households in the Capital. With Luo Sheng's return, the attention of the entire Capital had effortlessly shifted from Commander Luo to her. In the Duke An Mansion's garden pavilion, a girl with an oval face sneered repeatedly, "As expected of Miss Luo. She always finds a way to grab attention." Among the four Misses in the Luo Family, whenever someone mentioned "Miss Luo," it was universally understood that they were referring to Luo Sheng. The girl seated opposite her offered a faint smile and commented no...

 Chapter 51-2: A Joke Seeing the two maids causing a commotion, Xiuyue, who silently trailed behind Luo Sheng, was dumbfounded. She thought that maids like Hongdou were already rare, yet there was another one like Kou'er... Xiuyue discreetly glanced at Luo Sheng, her emotions tangled. From this perspective, Miss Luo was nothing like their Princess. Thinking of Shufeng, Chaohua, and Jiangxue – all of them were remarkable and skilled individuals, even the unremarkable her still had decent cooking skills. Turning her gaze back to Miss Luo's first-rank maids – looking at the lively faces of the two young maids, Xiuyue's eyes dimmed. What was wrong with leading an ordinary life, as long as it was a happy one? Unlike Jiangxue and the others who were no longer alive. In the third month, the garden at Luo Mansion was ablaze with blossoms, and the incessant chatter of the two young maids grew livelier. Strolling through this lively ambiance, Luo Sheng found herself involuntarily smi...

 Chapter 51-1: A Joke Sheng Sanlang was pulled out of the room by Luo Sheng in a daze. He suddenly snapped back to reality as he glimpsed a line of concubines standing in the corridor. "Biaomei--" he began, but Luo Sheng reassuringly smiled at him and turned to address one of the concubines, "Dayiniang [1] —" The eldest woman in the group quickly stood up, asking, "Miss, what's the matter?" Only now did Luo Sheng have a chance to look closely at Dayiniang. The woman had taken good care of herself, appearing in her early thirties, though her actual age was likely slightly older. Her hair was elegantly arranged in a bun. She gives off the feeling of someone who knows her place. "Please arrange accommodations for my Biaoge and the guards he brought," Luo Sheng said. Turning to Xiuyue, she introduced, "This is Xiugu, whom I brought back from the south. From now on, she will be working in my courtyard and receive the same monthly sala...

To Hold One's Joy Chapter 50

 Chapter 50: Divine Doctor Luo Sheng's eyes lit up: "Divine Doctor Li? Are you talking about the one who can bring life back to the dead and flesh to the bones?" Luo Yue couldn't resist letting out a soft snort: "You don't even know who Divine Doctor Li is, yet you're asking so many questions." Suddenly, Luo Sheng turned to look at her sternly: "Adults are talking, don't interrupt! " Unconvinced, Luo Yue muttered: "You're only one year older than me—" "I have already come of age, but you haven't," Luo Sheng coldly pointed out, hitting the nail on the head. Luo Yue found herself unable to retort, and a sense of despair clouded her eyes. It wasn't her imagination; Luo Sheng had indeed changed, becoming eloquent, shrewd, and fierce. How could she live in the future? Ignoring Luo Yue's distress, Luo Sheng turned her attention back to Pingli, who confirmed, "Yes, we are indeed talking abou...

Chapter 49-2: I Am Different With the tension somewhat diffused, Luo Sheng decided to refocus the conversation on more pressing matters. "Furthermore, rather than wasting time arguing with me, shouldn't we prioritize finding ways to wake Father up?" Luo Yue bit her lips and muttered: "That's easy for you to say. Numerous imperial doctors have examined Father. If there was a way to wake him up, wouldn't it have happened by now?" Her voice was barely audible. Obviously, she didn't dare to confront Luo Sheng for now. Observing the young girl's submissive stance, Luo Sheng, being a kind person, didn't plan to press her further. Instead, she turned to Yundong with a serious expression. "Have all the imperial doctors been unable to help?" she inquired. Yundong nodded gravely. At that moment, the door swung open, and two individuals entered one after the other. Leading the way was a handsome young man, followed closely by an elderl...

 Chapter 49-1: I Am Different Upon hearing Luo Sheng's acquiescent response, Luo Yue's delicate eyebrows arched in surprise. "You really came back on your own accord?!" Luo Sheng raised her eyebrows: "So what if I did? Are you going to beat me on Father's behalf?" That sharp retort left Luo Yue momentarily stunned. Of course, she didn't have the guts to do such a thing. Being the sole legitimate daughter of the Luo Family and Father's most beloved daughter, Luo Sheng's authority in the Luo Mansion was unshakable. Her return meant that her word now held sway over the entire household. Thinking of this, Luo Yue felt extremely aggrieved. She managed to stammer, "If Father wakes up—" Luo Sheng looked at Luo Yue with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if Father wakes up?" "You—" Luo Yue was left speechless once again, her lips trembling in frustration. Luo Sheng had changed! In...
