Chapter 416: Chapter 415: What a Pity

Lady Luo felt much better after hearing her husband’s words.

She knew her husband wouldn’t get involved with Lou Yinghua, as he despised that despicable woman.

The thought of someone coveting her man made her feel extremely discomforted.

"Let’s go back to the island right after the conference ends tomorrow."

She leaned against Family Head Luo and continued, "I won’t be attending the conference tomorrow."

Thinking about the strange looks she received from the people there made her feel deeply embarrassed.

Family Head Luo tenderly said, "Alright, you rest at home."

Lady Luo pondered and then asked, "As for Luo Ning, have you decided how to deal with her?"

She really couldn’t bring herself to like her granddaughter Luo Ning.

Not only was she sharp-tongued, but she also specifically trampled on the reputation of Luo Family and her marriage, which she found intolerable.

She desired grandchildren who were polite, well-behaved, and sensible, showing respect and obedience to elders like her.

Luo Ning, from head to toe, did not meet her expectations for a granddaughter.

Especially at today’s conference, if it weren’t for Luo Ning, Lou Yinghua’s scandal wouldn’t have been exposed, and the Lou Family wouldn’t have been so humiliated.

She didn’t want to admit she had misjudged someone.

Luo Ning continued to make sarcastic remarks and publicly aired the "Inheriting Two Branches" matter.

She didn’t have to be there to guess that the other ladies were certainly mocking her behind her back, discussing how her younger son had to marry a tainted woman, even suggesting the mixing of the Luo Family’s bloodline.

She didn’t believe it was her fault but that Lou Yinghua had hidden her true nature too well, always deceiving her.

The matter of the "Inheriting Two Branches" indeed involved Lou Yinghua subtly brainwashing her; she was merely deceived.

She couldn’t afford to lose face. She didn’t want to socialize, didn’t want to go out, all because of her granddaughter Luo Ning.

Thus, aside from resenting Lou Yinghua, she also fully transferred her anger onto Luo Ning, the main culprit.

This granddaughter must be disciplined, or she wouldn’t be able to swallow this indignity.

Family Head Luo knew his wife would react this way, but he could understand; his wife had always valued her reputation above all.

This time, having been embarrassed by Luo Ning, his wife wouldn’t go outside for a while and would face mockery from other ladies; how could she accept that?

He sighed and said, "The elders and I have already decided, once the conference ends tomorrow, we’ll forcefully bring Luo Ning back home for strict discipline."

Lady Luo then nodded in satisfaction, "She indeed needs a good lesson."

"When the time comes, I, as her grandmother, won’t sit idly by; she must learn to respect her elders and not tarnish our family’s reputation," she said, narrowing her eyes.

Once Luo Ning was brought back to the Luo Family, she also needed to be strictly punished to vent the frustration within her heart.

As for killing her, that would not happen,

otherwise, what would people outside think of them, given she is their own granddaughter.

Moreover, a lesson or punishment is one thing, but if Luo Ning were to be missing limbs or die, her son—who was always disobedient and rebellious—would turn the world upside down after his return.

Family Head Luo, caring for his wife, nodded again, "First, you’ll discipline her, then I’ll send her to the Cold Courtyard to properly temper her nature."

"Mm, you always think things through," said Lady Luo, leaning softly against him.

The couple didn’t say much more; after opening the door, Family Head Luo announced that Lou Yinghua had committed suicide.

This news was not kept within the family, and soon, other families knew as well.

In the Sikong Family, a group was finishing their meal and sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.

Soon, the Sikong Family Patriarch received the message.

He put down his cell phone and looked at Luo Ning, "A message from the Luo Family has come, Lou Yinghua has committed suicide."

Luo Ning was initially surprised, then shook her head, "Impossible."

"A person like her wouldn’t commit suicide."

Having endured for so many years and stirred up quite a few incidents, and with a mysterious force behind her, Lou Yinghua couldn’t possibly be so mentally fragile as to commit suicide.

The Sikong Family Patriarch nodded, "I also don’t believe Lou Yinghua would commit suicide."

He continued, "That leaves two possibilities, one is homicide, the other is that the dead person is fake."

Luo Ning thought the same, "I lean more towards the latter."

Lou Yinghua and the force behind her must be deeply entangled, having endured so many years, the things she controlled must be substantial.

The force behind her would likely not want this woman to die, so swapping her out would be the best option.

It could also confuse the Luo Family and other families.

The Sikong Family Patriarch sipped his tea, "It seems that Madam Luo’s identity is very questionable, with complex motives and objectives."

"I’m not sure if it’s just aimed at the Luo Family or if they have their sights set on the Six Great Families," he thought further.

These years, as the Sikong Family had stayed hidden, keeping their members in and conducting strict internal checks, they hadn’t stirred up any trouble.

But in the last two to three decades, other families had seen various issues, even harboring dangers that could potentially destroy them.

Although it seemed completely unrelated to Lou Yinghua, he always felt she was involved.

It was fortunate that Luo Ning had exposed Lou Yinghua, or else they wouldn’t have known how deeply Madam Luo had concealed herself.

And because of this, he began to deeply consider the issues of the major families, the more he thought, the more alarmed he became.

Luo Ning shrugged, "It’s hard to say. After all, we aren’t people from Ancient Families and don’t know the Six Great Families well enough to make a definitive judgment."

She added, "But since there are serious issues with Lou Yinghua, Uncle Sikong, you should keep a close eye, being cautious will prevent greater dangers."

The Sikong Family Patriarch nodded, "Yes, we can’t just stand by idly."

He cautioned, "You need to be careful too. You’ve not only offended the Luo Family, but today you’ve also revealed problems with Lou Yinghua. If she’s not dead, she definitely won’t let you go."

Luo Ning smiled, "By exposing this, I was prepared for the revenge."

She was actually hoping Lou Yinghua and the forces behind her would cause trouble; otherwise, how could she completely unravel everything?

Since they dared plot against her father and wanted to ruin her family life, they should be prepared for her revenge.

The Sikong Family Patriarch could tell Luo Ning was no pushover. To have such mental agility and calm at her age was truly rare.

As long as she didn’t die young, her future was immeasurable.

The Sikong Family Patriarch said, "It’s good that you’re aware. Don’t linger tomorrow, leave with Lu Xun after the conference ends."

He then looked towards Luo Ranran, "Are you planning not to return to the Lou Family?"

Luo Ranran nodded, "Not returning. Tomorrow, I’m leaving the island and returning to the country with Luo Ning."

The Sikong Family Patriarch thought for a moment then warned, "I’ve received news that the Lou Family will lay a trap to capture you and take you back tomorrow."

"The same goes for the Luo Family towards Luo Ning."

He then pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over, "This is the route they will use to capture you."

He disclosed this information as a favor to his future niece-in-law.

It seemed Luo Ranran had decided to closely align with Luo Ning.

After all, Luo Ranran was talented; it would be a pity if the Lou Family managed to capture her and take her back.
