Chapter 415: Chapter 414 Going with the Flow

Family Head Luo genuinely felt that his granddaughter, Luo Ning, lacked discipline and guidance.

This time, he determined to bring her back to the Luo Family and grind down her sharp edges, possessing various methods to make her behave.

Initially, he and the elders had already planned how to forcefully take Luo Ning away.

However, upon hearing that the Sikong Family had invited Luo Ning as a guest, he inexplicably had a bad feeling.

He didn’t mention this to anyone, feeling that Luo Ning should not be allowed to leave; otherwise, it might spell trouble for the Luo Family.

At the same time, he regretted having used the wrong methods on Luo Ning before; he should have brought her back to the Luo Family sooner.

Thinking about the son still confined in the Forbidden Land who refused to be disciplined and could potentially explode at any time, his headache grew worse.

The elders, upon hearing Family Head Luo’s words, were also plagued with headaches.

How could the Luo Family have produced such a problem child, making even capturing a person so troublesome?

An elder asked, "Shall we change the plan then?"

Family Head Luo pondered for a moment, "If the Sikong Family intervenes tomorrow, let the clan elders take action."

The elders paused, "Is it necessary to involve the clan elders?"

This time, unbeknownst to the other families, a clan elder had secretly accompanied them.

Normally, without any major incident, clan elders wouldn’t take any action.

Family Head Luo closed his eyes briefly, and when he reopened them, his expression had turned more resolute, "I hope it won’t be necessary, but we must be cautious; we have to bring Luo Ning back this time."

He didn’t want to break his own granddaughter’s wings, but Luo Ning was just too unruly.

Not only was her Talent monstrous, but her intelligence and actions were also far from simple; for the future of the Luo Family, he had no choice.

Seeing how seriously the Family Head took this, the elders paid even more attention, "Yes!"

An elder asked, "What about Lou Yinghua? Should we bring her back for interrogation?"

To them, Lou Yinghua’s issue was even more severe than Luo Ning’s.

Had the Luo Family recently offended something, attracting all these troubles at once?

Speaking of Lou Yinghua, Family Head Luo’s eyes turned cryptic and deep, "Go take a look now."

That woman had hidden herself too deeply over the years. If not for the incident caused by Luo Ning and Lei Lifei at the conference, they wouldn’t even have known there was a problem with Lou Yinghua.

Hidden for so many years, her motives were definitely not minor; this made Family Head Luo somewhat fearful.

The elders took the issue with Lou Yinghua even more seriously, promptly standing to say, "Right, let’s go take a look, see if we can find anything."

Led by Family Head Luo, a group of them went to the courtyard where Lou Yinghua was detained.

"Greetings, Family Head, elders!" the guards of the courtyard immediately saluted.

Family Head Luo instructed, "Open the door; let us go in and see Lou Yinghua."

"Yes!"

The guard immediately unlocked the door, and Family Head Luo and others entered.

Seeing Lou Yinghua collapsed on the table, Family Head Luo felt an ill omen.

He quickly went over and pushed her.

Subsequently, Lou Yinghua toppled onto the floor, her complexion deathly pale and even her breathing seemed absent.

The elders were startled, "What’s happened, has Lou Yinghua committed suicide?"

They hurriedly knelt down to check her breath and pulse.

"She’s dead," they concluded.

Their faces turned terribly grim; how could Lou Yinghua have died like this?

They hadn’t found any clues yet; her dying like this would surely complicate matters further.

Family Head Luo furrowed his brows deeply, stepping forward to take a closer look at the body on the ground.

Then he ordered, "Go, call Lady Luo here."

The guard at the door immediately left to invite Lady Luo.

The elders did not know why the Family Head wanted the lady to come over but they guessed there must be a reason.

Soon, Lady Luo, looking somewhat pale, walked in.

When she saw Lou Yinghua lying lifeless on the ground, she was stunned at first, then her expression turned even uglier.

She frowned and asked, "How did she die?"

Family Head Luo stood up and gently supported her, "She was brought here by you and raised, I want you to take a close look to see if this is indeed Lou Yinghua."

Lady Luo pursed her lips and after a long pause, she said to the elders, "I need to examine her body, please step out for a moment."

The elders, naturally not wanting to watch this, immediately left, thoughtfully closing the door behind them.

Lady Luo slowly crouched down, only reaching to pull open the clothes of the person on the ground after Family Head Luo had turned away, looking at the back.

She quickly pulled the clothes back up, stood, and said, "It’s not her."

Family Head Luo turned around, his face revealing an ’as expected’ expression, "Are you certain?"

Lady Luo nodded, "When she was a child, just after arriving at the Luo Family, I bathed her twice because I was afraid she would be scared. I noticed a small red mole on her back."

"But I never mentioned it to her, she probably doesn’t even know about it."

A small red mole was not an obvious birthmark, generally unnoticeable to most people.

The person lying here did not have one on her back.

Lady Luo’s face turned somewhat pale, her body going limp against Family Head Luo, "I really didn’t expect her to be such a person."

All the years spent nurturing Lou Yinghua were wasted.

Family Head Luo squinted his eyes, "I’m not sure if she had been impersonated during the previous meeting or was switched after being detained here."

Either way, there was a serious problem.

Upon hearing this, Lady Luo thought for a moment, then crouched down again, carefully smelling, "This person was probably switched here."

"The scent on her body is not Lou Yinghua’s."

During the meeting, she was certain the person she came with was Lou Yinghua.

She also came from a Fengshui aristocratic family, although her Feng Shui Mystical Technique abilities were average, she had a special talent, which was being extremely sensitive to scents.

She could distinguish people and confirm identities by smell.

However, she had only revealed this ability to her husband, Lou Yinghua did not know about it.

Family Head Luo knew about his wife’s special talent, which was why he had asked for her.

He held Lady Luo’s hand, "Thank you for your efforts, my lady."

Lady Luo asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"Shouldn’t we just leave it as is," her husband suggested, "announce that Lou Yinghua committed suicide, and let this matter rest."

How much she had once adored Lou Yinghua as her daughter-in-law was now how much she detested her.

And because Luo Ning and Lei Lifei had been misleading, she now felt that her daughter-in-law had always been subtly seducing her husband.

Though she also acknowledged it might be psychological, it irked her severely.

She did not want to bring up Lou Yinghua’s name or see that person again.

Announcing a suicide would end the shame and issues that had arisen along with the despised woman’s death.

Family Head Luo could guess his wife’s thoughts, knowing she wanted self-deception due to her disgust.

But having doted on her for so many years, he still wanted to indulge her.

He pulled Lady Luo into his arms to comfort her, "Alright, I’ll do as you wish, and announce soon that this is Lou Yinghua. She couldn’t face anyone and committed suicide."

Going along could be a good move; unlike his wife, he wasn’t disgusted but rather wanted to use Lou Yinghua’s death as an opportunity to investigate thoroughly. Since the person was gone, following their plan could allow them to be caught off guard.

He would absolutely not allow any threat to the Luo Family to linger; Lou Yinghua and the people behind her had to be unearthed.
