Chapter 2349 - 23051: People Must See the Situation Clearly

There’s no denying that Yang Chuxia’s words struck a chord with Luo Linfei.

If she were still a virtuous young lady, she would never consider becoming a nun. It could be said that her desire to become a noblewoman of the imperial family has never changed; her previous compromises were merely out of necessity.

If Yueluo is truly a place that doesn’t care about her past, then there’s no reason not to go.

Moreover, Yueluo is a small country, unlike Great Qi, and would hesitate to wage war against Great Zhou, so she should be quite safe in Yueluo.

And as long as Great Zhou remains powerful, she will continue to be respected by Yueluo.

"Although what you say is true, I won’t be grateful to you." Luo Linhao raised his eyes and said, "I know you’re not doing this for me."

"Indeed, you’re right." Yang Chuxia nodded, "My family, Ye Zi’an, asked for the decree with the intention of sending the Prince of Yueluo back early, so that Linyu and my brother could get married smoothly. So, you really don’t need to thank me."

"Well, I knew you weren’t up to any good," Luo Linfei had no feelings about it, but First Madam Luo was immediately agitated.

However, just after saying a couple of sentences, she was stopped by Luo Linfei.

"Luo Linyu really has good fortune." Luo Linfei sneered, "A child of a concubine, yet living better than the legitimate offspring. So many people are planning for her."

"You got one thing wrong!" Yang Chuxia declared firmly, "Such identities as concubine-born and legitimate child have never been a constraint for capable people. The reason Linyu is better off than you is that she has a capable father and brother who see the situation clearly."

"By all rights, Old Master Luo should have had more advantages than Linhao and them. But why did he end up like this? Firstly, because he couldn’t see the situation clearly, and secondly, because he wanted too much and didn’t know when to stop, nor understood familial bonds. Don’t think I’m mocking you; I’m only telling you that understanding the situation will help you fare well in Yueluo."

"Be careful not to think you’re at the top one day, and then, recalling past injustices, act irrationally. Even if you don’t like Linhao and my uncle, you must understand that Great Zhou and they are your reliance in Yueluo. As long as they are there, you’ll have good days. Without them, your good days will end."

Luo Linfei was momentarily stunned, then nodded, "Rest assured, I’m not that foolish!"

Yang Chuxia’s words were merely to prevent her from, in the future, using power to harm Luo Linhao once she gained influence. She’s not foolish and naturally understands the significance of Luo Linhao and others.

After leaving the State Duke of Defense’s residence, First Madam Luo complained, "Fei’er, why did you stop me? That little wench is up to no good. Don’t listen to her words."

Luo Linfei stopped and looked at her mother for a long time before saying, "Mother, she was right about one thing: our first branch’s downfall to the present state is entirely because my grandmother and father couldn’t see the situation clearly. If my grandmother had been content to stand firmly behind the Emperor, even if we couldn’t gain the title of State Duke, we could have at least secured an earldom."

"Fei’er, don’t listen to her nonsense. Your father and grandmother also did it for the good of our family."

Luo Linfei retorted sharply, "Mother, if the nanny serving you were to serve Second Aunt after attending to you, would you be happy?"

"I definitely wouldn’t be happy!"

"Exactly. My grandmother acting like this, siding with one person at one moment and another the next, would the Emperor be pleased?"

First Madam Luo was also stunned. Yes, the principle was very simple, yet Old Madam Luo prided herself on her wit but never understood.
