Steps to Be Phoenix

When Luo Ming Shi saw that Lober was asking about Feng Haoxuan, and if he really wanted to answer, Feng Haoxuan would quickly rush over and say with his lackey's legs: "I am Miss's bodyguard."

Luo Ming Shi chose a plot of land on top of the lush green mountain. The scenery there was great, and it was also right on top of spring. The flowers that filled the mountain were all competing to bloom, the air was fresh, the scenery was enchanting, and there was also the stream that flowed down from the top of the mountain with a small stream.

She recalled that her mother had personally sewn a cloak to protect her from the cold and had said that she would wear it when she grew up.

She thought back to the time when her mother had hurried over, exhausted from all the work she had done in the past few days, and beads of sweat had even begun to form on her forehead in the winter.

She remembered a soft, firm voice saying in her ear, "Auntie will protect you."

She also remembered how her hands had been covered in blood at the last moment.

??? ???.

He suddenly opened his eyes and did not dare to continue thinking about it. The Feng Haoxuan that had followed him here had replaced him as a servant of the Luo Family.

Luo Ming Shi's eyes were calm as he watched quietly, he did not try to stop them and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Wasn't he supposed to?

After he finished setting up the Lee's's tombstone, Luo Ming Shi personally placed the ashes inside, and then watched as he scooped up the originally excavated dirt and put it back in.

After going around in circles for so long, his mother was finally buried. Although he was unwilling to accept this fact, but now everything had settled down to dust. He didn't even have an excuse to be weak anymore.

When the last pile of dirt fell, everyone saw Luo Ming Shi kowtow three more times to the Lee's, before standing up and bringing everyone down the mountain.

When Luo Ming Shi returned to the Luo Fu, he saw the Lober waiting for her at the door. Luo Ming Shi stepped forward and said helplessly: "Lober, you don't have to stand at the door and wait for me every time."

Luo Xing Hai wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words back. He thought to tell the old fellow to wait, so he said: "Young miss, you're tired too, let's go inside the house to have a cup of tea first."

Luo Ming Shi understood the meaning behind Lober's words, but he had something to say.

After waiting for Luo Ming Shi to rest for a while, and drinking another cup of tea, Luo Xing Hai said: "A letter came from the Luo Family Department just now, I want young miss to go see you."

Hearing that, Luo Ming Shi did not have any change in expression, but asked: "If the people from Luo Family Department announce that I'm going to meet them, then I should go see them?"

Luo Xing Hai did not expect Luo Ming Shi to say something like that, and was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized what Luo Ming Shi had said, and laughed out loud, as though he could not hold it in any longer, and waited for Luo Ming Shi to look over with a suspicious look in his eyes, and restrained himself, but he still laughed and said: "Young miss is right, young miss is very noble, if you want to meet, that old fellow personally came to see you."

Luo Ming Shi did not understand why Lober would suddenly smile so happily. In fact, she really wanted to say that what he had just said was only a question.

Seeing that Luo Ming Shi was still looking at him with a confused expression, he said: "The old fellow I'm talking about is that Luo Family Elder."

Luo Ming Shi nodded, he had heard of the elder's name before.

then sighed and continued: "Ever since Master began to busy himself with matters of the imperial court, because the Patriarch is not here, many things need Luo Xing Chen to take care of. As a result, all these years, the economy of the Luo Family is entirely under Luo Xing Chen's control, and I saw that Luo Xing Chen's power is growing day by day. Whatever he said, no one dared to resist him, and even after saying it, the elders of the Luo Fu can't help but give him a little bit of respect, even if it's him."

When heard this, he pursed his lips but did not answer, the strong had always been like this for the king, the people in Luo Fu still had to rely on the Lober to lead their lives, if the Lober wanted to survive, of course they had to lower their heads to the strong, this was also not something to be blamed.

Just because Lober saw her happiness and devoted service, he could still be trusted.

Luo Ming Shi somewhat understood what her father had said before she came. Just from Lober's description, the situation was probably worse than his father had expected.

Luo Xing Hai continued to speak: "It's just that I never expected that young miss would return, he actually dares to be so rude to young miss, he seems to be thinking too highly of himself."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but regret that he didn't spit at the servant before he came to deliver the message. He didn't tell him to go back and tell the old man that he was coming personally.

He actually also passed the message to Second Miss, luckily Second Miss was sensible, if not he would break the rules and fuel Luo Xing Chen's anger. However, even though she thought like that, there were still some who said, "However, if young miss is interested in the next position of the family head, it would be better not to offend that old fellow. After all, most of the family heads' power is grasped within that old man's hands."

Since that was the case, Luo Xing Chen anxiously sent someone to proclaim that she did not have any intentions to probe further. He wanted to test if she was the one who would take the seat of the family head, and see if she had the ability to measure up to him.

But Luo Ming Shi still had a doubt, "If what you said was true, then Luo Xing Chen's authority is like the sun in the sky, why didn't he directly replace my father?"

Luo Xing Hai, who had been blabbering nonstop all these years, was now silent only because he was suspicious. Even though Luo Xing Chen had become more and more powerful over the years, and everyone was waiting for him to become the next person to take charge, but even after waiting for so many years, there was still no movement.

Luo Xing Hai thought in his heart. Hopefully, it was because that old fellow still had a bit of conscience in his heart, and it wasn't anything else.

Luo Ming Shi didn't know how much Luo Xing Hai was thinking, she had originally known that the elders of the Luo Family s would definitely want to meet, but seeing as it was, it couldn't be decided by the words of the other party.

Luo Ming Shi raised another cup of tea, but did not drink it, lowering his eyes he gently sniffed the tea, and everyone thought that he was sipping the tea, she finally drank the cup of tea, and seeing the happy look on Luo Ming Shi's face, everyone guessed, wasn't the tea extremely good?

She smiled as she put down the teacup and said, "Lober, you're overthinking it. I'm only here to bury my mother and also to enjoy the scenery of the cruise ship. How can I compete with you for the position of Patriarch?"

The two of them talked for a long time and were just about to return to their room, when the dutiful "bodyguard" saw that Luo Ming Shi didn't even look at her before leaving, he felt really depressed. He could only sigh and return back to his room with Lober, before jumping out the back window of the guest room and headed towards Luo Ming Shi's room, finding a place to lie down and take a nap.

After a moment, the Feng Haoxuan immediately opened his eyes, and with a tap of his finger, he jumped into Luo Ming Shi's room, and as expected, someone entered his room.
