After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

After Ning'er changed her clothes and walked out of the yard, she saw three or two errand boys surrounding Shen Chongyao and gesticulating anxiously.

She lifted her skirt and walked over: "Second Master, what's going on?"

When Shen Chongyao saw her coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief: "The young lady is finally here. The old lady just sent someone to report that Lord Luo suddenly came to visit. They have a room full of female relatives and cannot entertain them, so they asked me to go over quickly."

Ning Er hurriedly quickened her pace upon hearing this, and the two of them walked and talked at the same time: "Master Luo?"

Shen Chongyao replied, "It's Mrs. Luo's brother, Luo Jurui, the eldest son of Minister Luo, who is currently the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Metropolitan Censorate."

When he answered, he did not regard Ning'er as a young lady who had not yet left the boudoir, but as if he was being questioned by his superiors, and he told her everything in detail.

Shen Chongyao thought that nothing in the world could be so coincidental. Just a moment ago, he learned from his aunt that Ning'er's biological mother might be related to the Luo family. In the blink of an eye, God sent Luo Jurui to his doorstep.

Ning Er asked: "Is this official high-ranking? How does he compare to the Second Master?"

Shen Chongyao couldn't help laughing and said, "He's older than me. Not only is he a high-ranking official, but he also holds an important position and has a bright future."

Ning Er comforted him inexplicably: "It doesn't matter, the second master will definitely be a higher official than him in the future."

She couldn't help but wonder, "Come to think of it, how can a relative come to visit at night? What is Lord Luo doing here so late at night?"

Shen Chongyao said, "Lord Luo is well-known in the court and the country for his filial piety to his mother. He came here eagerly, of course, to take Madam Luo back."

Ning Er heard that he seemed to have a hint of disdain for Luo Ju Rui in his words, so she couldn't help but ask, "You don't like this Lord Luo?"

Shen Chongyao was stunned: "It's not that I like him or not, but I always feel a little uncomfortable when I'm with him. Maybe we're not the same kind of people."

The two men entered the flower hall one after the other, and saw a man with long eyebrows and a high nose sitting under the lamp. He was wearing a round-collared silk official uniform, a belt with gold hanging on it, and looked like he had just left the government office.

Shen Chongyao bowed and stepped forward: "Your humble servant greets Lord Luo. Lord Luo is busy with official business, and it is a pity that you have troubled me to come here in person."

Luo Ju Rui returned the greeting: "I haven't congratulated Lord Shen on his promotion. Lord, there is no need to be so polite. Today, we are together to talk about personal relationships, not official duties."

He pointed to his inappropriate official robes and said modestly, "I came here in a hurry and had no time to change clothes. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Shen."

Ning'er looked at him carefully. He looked quite similar to Luo Miaoyun, with a very conspicuous teardrop mole under his eye. Compared with his sister's bright and beautiful appearance, his temperament was more refined. He really had a good appearance that was born to be an official.

With Shen Chongyao present, all the ladies felt much more relaxed. Even though he was a relative of the Shen family, he was still a man from another family, and it was late at night, so they were inevitably a little uncomfortable.

He said politely, "Since we are family, why should we care about these empty formalities? But Brother Luo came in such a hurry, I think he hasn't eaten yet, why don't you go in first."

Luo Jurui's movements were full of the charm of flowing water. He smiled at Shen Chongyao and said casually, "Thank you, Brother Shen. To be honest, my mother didn't come home, and I couldn't sleep all night, and I had no appetite. I came here today uninvited to take my mother back home."

Shen Chongyao knew it must be this. He raised his glass and drank a cup himself, laughing and saying, "Brother Luo is a filial son, and the heavens can bear witness to that. But it is getting late now, why don't you stay with me for one night? Tomorrow morning, Chongyao will personally harness the horse and send the old lady back to the Shangshu Mansion."

Luo Jurui did not comment. He smiled and changed the subject: "I wonder if the Marquis is doing well?"

This was not something that Shen Chongyao should have said. Old Madam Zhu smiled and said, "Thanks to God's grace, Chongyan has gotten much better. I was very happy to see Yao'er Miaoyun today."

Luo Jurui bowed and said, "Logically, I should go to see the Marquis first, but I think the Marquis likes quietness during his illness, so I dare not disturb him rashly."

Madam Zhu smiled and said, "That's right. Chongyan sleeps more often than he wakes up. Even if I want to talk to him occasionally, I have to wait for him to come."

Ning'er listened for a while, then became too lazy to listen carefully and just focused on eating the snacks before starting the case. From time to time, she felt someone's eyes were on her and she couldn't help laughing to herself.

The previous fear on Shen Ruyao's face had not completely disappeared, but now it was replaced by a smug look. She looked down at Ning'er, not knowing what she was laughing at.

Ning'er thought, no matter what Luo Miaoyun and Luo Jurui's backgrounds were, they looked very impressive on the surface. I really don't know how they developed such an unpleasant personality like Shen Ruyao.

If she was the marquis's daughter, she would just endure it, but if she wasn't, she wouldn't even bother to give this person another glance.

But Shen Ruyao looked at her proudly, stood up excitedly, and said in a tender voice: "Uncle, Yao'er toasts you a glass."

Luo Jurui was such a shrewd person that after his eyes moved back and forth between his niece and Ning'er twice, he figured out the ins and outs between the two girls.

He smiled and agreed, "Thank you, Yao'er." After that, he filled the glass with wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Ruyao was proud of her mother's family. Her uncle was not only handsome and capable, but also treated her with great love. This alone was something that the helpless girl could only envy but not achieve.

She was about to admire Ning'er's expression again, but suddenly she saw her uncle looking up at Ning'er and asked in a friendly manner, "This girl looks unfamiliar. I wonder if she is the cousin of the Zhu family from Jiangdu?"

Ning Er herself almost forgot her "identity". When it was suddenly mentioned, she quickly replied, "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for remembering me. It is my daughter."

Luo Jurui smiled and raised the glass with both hands, saying, "My niece has been spoiled by her sister and mother since she was young. With my cousin by her side, I hope she can learn a little bit of the elegance of a lady. I toast to you."

As he said this, he raised his head and drank another full glass.

Shen Ruyao's nose was almost crooked with anger. Was her uncle deliberately playing against her? He actually gave this girl such face!

Ning'er smiled slightly, and she said, no matter what the Luo family is like in their bones, they always put in a good effort to show their abilities.

------

At this time, in Shen Chongyan's room.

He was frowning and concentrating, but had not fallen asleep yet: "Xiang Ming, I faintly heard a noise, what's going on in the mansion tonight?"

After Xiangming cleaned him and changed him into his pajamas, she smiled and said, "My Lord, nothing can be hidden from you. You were asleep earlier and didn't know that a great happy event had happened in our mansion. Master Yao was favored by the emperor and was promoted to the position of Junior Minister of the Imperial Household. The whole mansion is overjoyed."

"Right now, the old lady is holding a family banquet in the flower hall in the front yard. All the masters and ladies in the mansion are there. It's very lively."

Shen Chongyan was silent for a moment, then said, "In that case, you go there for me."
