After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 195 Madam Luo's Puzzling Thoughts

Ever since Jiang Mianmian criticized him for not being smart enough and having low emotional intelligence, Luo Yuheng's heart has been in turmoil.

He clenched his fists and silently vowed that from now on, even if he was angry, he would never call Jiang Mianmian "Old Madam" again.

After all, no matter which angle you looked at the woman, she didn't show any signs of aging.

Especially when he started calling her "Madam Shen," he inexplicably felt that Jiang Mianmian's complexion was noticeably better than when she was called "Old Madam."

Luo Yuheng wondered to herself, could it be because her husband's surname was Shen that she was so happy when she heard her call her Madam Shen?

If Jiang Mianmian knew what he was thinking, she'd be ready to spit in his face, saying, "You shameless bastard, you're the one who doesn't care about Shen Hanjiang!"

Luo Yuheng's once clear and bright eyes turned bloodshot as he stared intently at Madam Luo.

He gritted his teeth, forcing out each word through the gaps, demanding, "Mother, did you do that?"

Faced with her son's sudden and inexplicable question, Madam Luo was immediately bewildered and replied in confusion:

"Wha...what is it? My son, don't scare your mother, please explain yourself clearly!"

However, Luo Yuheng wouldn't listen to his mother's explanations at all; he was convinced that this matter must be related to his mother.

"Hmph! Even now, you still want to hide it from me. You were the one who instructed her to do this. Otherwise, why would Madam Shen say such things to me?"

She said that if it weren't for you protecting me, I probably would have been sold to human traffickers by my older brother long ago!

And then there was that time when I accidentally fell into the pond and almost drowned. It wasn't as simple as just because I accidentally slipped into the pond.

Instead, my older brother deliberately smeared oil on the ground, saying he intentionally wanted to kill me…”

Luo Yuheng grew increasingly angry as he spoke, his chest heaving violently.

Upon hearing this, Madam Luo was taken aback. Her gentle expression instantly turned serious, and she frowned deeply, pressing for an answer:

"Did you hear this from Madam Shen...? Which Madam Shen are you referring to?"

Because she knew several ladies with the surname Shen in the capital, she genuinely didn't know which one her son was referring to.

"Hmph, who else could it be but Shen Xiuyu's mother?" Luo Yuheng replied angrily.

At the same time, he glared at Madam Luo and continued, "Mother, stop pretending to be confused. If you hadn't asked her for help, how could she have said such things to me?"

Don't deny it, I'm not stupid, I know you don't like Big Brother..."

"Shut up! Luo Yuheng, you... you actually doubt Mother, and even think that I made her say those things, that I didn't even know about it myself..."

At this point, Madam Luo paused, and the memory of Luo Yuheng falling into the pond immediately came to mind.

At that time, she really didn't know that Luo Yuchuan was behind it, or that there were any so-called human traffickers. She truly had no idea at all.

If she hadn't heard Luo Yuheng say it, she probably would never have known that Luo Yuchuan was behind her accidental fall into the pond!

This truth shocked her. How old was Luo Yuchuan back then?

He's terrifying!

Back then, she was even grateful to Luo Yuchuan for jumping into the pond to save her son!

So much so that when he later returned to the Luo family, she turned a blind eye to his various behaviors, choosing tolerance and forbearance.

Luo Yuheng, still furious, questioned, "If it wasn't you who said it, then who else could it be? Even the matter of the division commander's daughter that I like, apart from you and my elder brother, no one else knows anything about it."

Now that your brother is in jail, you can't possibly say he told the truth himself, can you? Don't you find that absurd?

Luo Yuheng sneered, then said indignantly, "What's even more outrageous is yet to come! She actually made up the ridiculous story that my eldest brother would use witchcraft on our family in an attempt to harm the whole family."

"Hmph! Does she really think our capital is some kind of desolate wasteland? Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe that, yet they dare to try and fool me with this. Do they really think I'm that stupid?"

And so, Luo Yuheng launched into another long speech, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

Madam Luo stood aside, listening quietly to his incessant complaints. She didn't rush to refute him, but occasionally asked him questions to corroborate her suspicions.

However, from her son's rambling, Madam Luo still managed to glean some crucial information. This discovery made it impossible for her to remain in the mansion any longer.

So, after Luo Yuheng finished her tantrum and left, she anxiously ordered the steward to quickly prepare the necessary gifts, then immediately got into her carriage and sped off towards the Xuanhua Marquis's residence.

"Hmph, God, what kind of ridiculous joke are you playing?" Madam Luo muttered indignantly.

You should know that even she, as the mother, knew nothing about these things, yet Jiang Mianmian, this "outsider," knew them all so clearly!

At this moment, Guan Ling Shuang was still lingering in the Xuanhua Marquis's residence. She had just been talking to Li Ting Xue about Luo Yuheng, since Luo Yuheng's reaction that morning had indeed been somewhat strange.

The two of them were still secretly wondering if Luo Yuheng had inadvertently overheard some unspeakable "inner thoughts".

For this reason, Li Tingxue specifically instructed the steward that if the Luo family came to the Marquis's residence again in the future, they must inform her in advance.

Sure enough, around noon, the butler rushed in to report: "Young Madam, Luo Yuheng's mother, Madam Luo, who came this morning, has arrived now!"

Upon hearing the housekeeper's words, Li Tingxue and Guan Lingshuang exchanged glances and meaningful looks.

After greeting Shen Xiuyan and Gu Yunchen who were present, the two of them began to split up and act in perfect unison.

As per the pre-arranged plan, Li Tingxue, who had become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Xuanhua's household, was responsible for stopping the hurriedly arriving Madam Luo.

Therefore, when Madam Luo walked over carrying her things, before she even reached the gate of the Marquis's mansion, she encountered Li Tingxue, who was rushing over.

At the main gate of the Marquis's residence, Madam Luo had just stepped down from her carriage, followed by several servants carrying large and small bags of gifts.

She hurried toward the gate of the Marquis's mansion, but just as she reached the gate, she bumped into Li Tingxue who was coming from the opposite direction.

"Madam Luo, please wait a moment! I presume you've come here for your son, Luo Yuheng?" Li Tingxue quickly said.

"That's right. I'm really sorry that I didn't send a formal invitation to inform Madam Hou beforehand, and that I've come to bother you so abruptly."

"It's really about my son's matter today that I have many questions I'd like to discuss with Madam Hou, so..." Madam Luo replied apologetically.

It should be noted that Madam Luo, who is over forty years old, would not normally be so polite to a younger person like Li Tingxue, given her status and position.

However, since there was a reason for this, and he needed something from the other party, he naturally behaved with extra humility and politeness.

Upon seeing this, Li Tingxue quickly returned the courtesy, and then cautiously inquired, "Oh, I understand! It's like this, Madam Luo, I wonder what your son has told you?"

I know a little about some of the details; if it's convenient, I can tell you about them first.

When Madam Luo heard Li Tingxue's words, she was slightly puzzled, but seeing that Li Tingxue had brought it up herself, she guessed that there might be some things that were inconvenient to say openly.

So she nodded, indicating that she was willing to listen to what Li Tingxue had to say first.

Furthermore, even Jiang Mianmian herself, a mother, was unaware of what she was saying, which shows just how "secret" this matter was.

Madam Luo secretly speculated that the Shen family probably learned about this by accident.

Thinking of this, Madam Luo couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She had rushed over so hastily that people might have misunderstood her intentions. Perhaps the people from the Marquis's mansion would even think that she had come specifically to cause trouble.

Therefore, Madam Luo hurriedly explained her purpose to Li Tingxue, and repeatedly stated that she was not there to cause trouble, but simply wanted to find out what was going on.

If Luo Yuchuan has repeatedly harmed her son without her knowledge, then she will definitely not let him off the hook.

Li Tingxue has now confirmed that Luo Yuheng can indeed "hear" his mother-in-law's thoughts. She just doesn't know if the Madam Luo in front of her can hear her mother-in-law's thoughts in the same way.

Out of caution, Li Tingxue, relying on the Emperor's authority, had Madam Luo sign a so-called "confidentiality agreement" before allowing her to enter the Marquis's residence to see her mother-in-law.

At this moment, Madam Luo looked bewildered and dazed, muttering to herself:

"This is really strange. I just came to find out what was going on, so why did I end up signing this confidentiality agreement?"

And besides, it's just such a trivial matter, how could it be inexplicably connected to the Emperor?!

This is incredible!

After all, Luo Yuchuan's matter is an internal affair of our Luo family!

Or perhaps Luo Yuchuan did something wrong in secret, which alarmed the Emperor?

Thinking of this, Madam Luo couldn't help but gasp, feeling her legs go weak, as if all the strength in her body had been instantly drained away.

If it weren't for the quick-thinking servants who steadied her in time, she would probably have already fallen to the ground in a disheveled state.

After she calmed down a bit, Mrs. Luo suddenly realized that the matter was far more serious than she had initially imagined.

Fortunately, Luo Yuchuan was just an illegitimate child who couldn't be brought into the light; almost no one outside knew that he was actually the son of the Luo family.

If his crimes were truly exposed, wouldn't the entire Luo family face annihilation? They might not even have a way to survive...
