Old Mrs Ling was shocked and delighted, and stood up in a hugh manner, “Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly, let someone prepare a carriage to go pick them up”In your mother-in-law’s happiness, have you forgotten that there is a carriage waiting at the pier?”
Li took over the conversation with a smile
Old Mrs Ling was dumbfounded, “Look at me, I’m so happy and confused that I even forgot about this”
Yue Clan, seeing that Li Clan stole all the limelight, was upset and immediately said with a smile, “The pier is half a day’s journey away from our Ling Mansion, just now a steward came back to deliver a letter, it seems that the carriage is already halfway there, maybe it will arrive in a few moments”
Wang also smiled and said, “The guest rooms have long been prepared
Before they arrive, let the maids clean the guest room again
My daughter-in-law remembers that my sister-in-law liked cleanliness the most before she got married”
This last sentence was deeply pleasing to Old Mrs Ling
Old Mrs Ling gave Wang a look of approval, “It’s still you who have thought this through
Lao Si has been in charge of the stores and fields for the past few years, and you’ve learned a lot by following Lao Si’s lead”
Wang pursed her lips and smiled, respectfully responding, “Thank you for your mother-in-law’s praise
Fourth Master always says that it’s his duty as a son to share some of his mother-in-law’s chores
If he knew that granny was praising him like this, he wouldn’t know how happy he would be in his heart”
Yue and Li each laughed coldly in their hearts and unanimously glanced at Wang
This Wang Clan, who did not talk much on weekdays, was no weaker than the two of them in coaxing the old lady
Wang Clan seems not to have noticed Yue Clan and Li Clan’s hidden cynical eyes, and vainly assisted Ling old lady’s arm: “The Lu family will be here soon, why don’t you go back to your bedchamber and rest for a while, change into new clothes, and then freshen up, you’ll look more refreshed as well”
Old Mrs Ling nodded her head happily
Li’s reaction was extremely fast, immediately assisted Ling old lady’s other arm: “Fourth sister-in-law is right, daughter-in-law will wait for mother-in-law to rest”
Yue Clan was unable to grab the opportunity, and missed out on the chance to please her, gritting her teeth in hatred
Ling Jingshu looked at this familiar scene, her heart kindly sneered
The Ling family had never been separated
Apart from the eldest house that had been living in the capital city Luoyang, the rest of the three houses lived in the ancestral mansion
The trivial matters of the house were divided among the sons and daughters-in-law, but the keys to the treasury were all in the hands of Old Mrs Ling
In addition to the fixed monthly allowance for each house, if you want to buy more things or spend extra money, you have to go through Mrs Ling’s approval
Among the several daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law Sun’s famous family, the dowry is quite generous
She also lived with her husband in Luoyang and had a superior status
Yue’s and Wang’s are commoner women, Li’s family is not obvious, the dowry is not rich
Since it is necessary to make every effort to coax the old lady Ling happy, more to compete for some benefits
Unfortunately, although the old lady Ling old lady, but half not confused
Peacefully enjoying the daughters-in-law’s greetings and wait, never easy to promise any benefits
In short, a few daughters-in-law want to play with Ling old lady’s heart and mind, not even close to it!
Yue retracted her gaze with indignation, and met Ling Jingshu’s penetrating eyes squarely
Yue was a bit annoyed and embarrassed at being seen through, but refused to lose her senior’s reserve and coughed, “Sister Shu, today Lu’s family has arrived, and there will definitely be a reception banquet in the evening
Your body is just fine, don’t stand for a long time and hurt your vitality”
Ling Jingxian smiled and interjected, “Cousin Shu, you go back to the Autumn Water Pavilion first and rest, I will go and call you at that time”There’s no need to bother cousin sister Xian”
Ling Jingshu said indifferently, “My body has not yet healed, so I won’t come out for the reception tonight
Lest I disturb the excitement of your guests”
Ling Jingxian’s eyes quickly flashed with a hint of joy and said, “Auntie led her cousins all the way here, how can you not attend this reception banquet
If grandmother knew, she would definitely be unhappy
You might as well brace yourself to show up!”
Mouth is not heart!
Ling Jingshu tugged at the corner of her lips, “If I lose my manners in front of the honored guests, won’t I lose grandmother’s face
Furthermore, with Cousin Xian around, I’m afraid no one will notice if I show up or not”
Horse’s farts don’t wear out a thousand times
Not to mention, such words were coming from Ling Jingshu, who had always been on top of her
A trace of smugness flashed across Ling Jingxian’s face as she smiled hypocritically, “How could this be
Cousin Shu is the most outstanding of all the cousins, and if you were missing from the family banquet, wouldn’t it be a huge loss of color”
Ling Jingshu was not in the mood to maneuver with her, and bowed to their mother and daughter, then retired
Just after returning to the Autumn Water Pavilion, Ling Xiao couldn’t wait to ask, “Ah Shu, auntie’s family is here as guests, why don’t you want to go out and meet them?”
Bai Yu was also puzzled
Although the young lady’s body was weaker, she still had the strength to show her face at the reception banquet, and her words just now sounded like a pretext
Ling Jingshu was silent for a moment before she said gently, “When my body is completely well, it’s not too late to see them again”
In her previous life, Ling returned to her home and stayed in the Ling family for three whole months
It was impossible for her to keep avoiding them
However, she was not ready to face the Lu family right now
In her current state, when she met her enemies from her previous life, she was only afraid that her mind would be unstable and she would not be able to control her emotions at all, and she would reveal her footsteps to cause suspicion
Not waiting for Ling Xiao to ask, Ling Jingshu changed her tone to a soft pleading one: ”Ah Xiao, if grandmother asks me about me, can you explain a few words for me?
Otherwise, grandmother will definitely be angry with me”
Ling Xiao immediately softens his heart, and no longer pursues the root of the matter, nodding his head and answering, “Then you rest well, and I’ll come back to accompany you when I’m free”
The maid Jingyu standing at the side walks over and carefully assists Ling Xiao to leave
Bai Yu quietly walks up and softly says, “Miss, your body is not yet healed, it is not advisable to exert yourself, it is better to lie down on the bed and rest!”
Since she was unwilling to go out on the grounds that she was sick and weak, she simply put on a full show
Ling Jingshu nodded
At the stroke of midnight, Lu’s family finally arrived at the Ling MansionWhen Auntie got married back then, the slave girl was just born and had never seen Auntie
However, I’ve heard the housekeeping moms mention it quite a few times
The old lady gave birth to Auntie after forty years, and loved her like a pearl in the palm of her hand
It’s a pity that she married far away in Jizhou and hasn’t been back to her mother’s house for so many years
The old lady and aunt granny are reunited as mother and daughter, not to mention how excited they are”
The little maid Xuan Cao stood by the side of the couch and reported the news with a fluttering brow, “The slave girl didn’t dare to come up and take a closer look, but only stole a few glances from afar
These are all from what the other maids said”The situation at that time was really exciting
The old madam and auntie cried and laughed, the fourth master and fifth master shed tears, and a few of the wives, all cried their eyes red
The young masters and young ladies also each wiped their tears and cried into a pot of porridge”
Xuan Cao is only twelve years old, smart mouth cleverness, usually specialize in doing some errands messenger things
Today was entrusted with the “important task”, Xuan Cao heart leaping with joy, running up the leg to spy up news to also extra hard
Ling Jingshu sat on the bed, covered with a soft silk quilt, leaning against a thick cushion, listening carelessly
It was nearly evening, and the candlestick had yet to be lit in the room, so the light was a bit dim and uncertain
Ling Jingshu’s delicate and flawless face seemed to be covered with a light veil, obviously close at hand, but also some strange and distant
Bai Yu quietly surveyed her own master, secretly pondering in her heart
Miss woke up today, seems to be different from the past days!
When she was ten years old, she was sold into the Ling Mansion
Warily standing with the other little maids, she was so nervous that she couldn’t even speak properly
At the tender age of six, the young lady picked her out and gave her the name Bai Yu
From that moment on, her fate was closely linked to Miss
The maids’ deeds of sale are all in the hands of their masters, and when they encounter a bad-tempered master, being scolded and beaten is a common occurrence
The most fearful thing is that the master will arbitrarily betroth himself out, or be sold out of the house, down to the dirty place to go
As a slave girl, fate is in the master’s thoughts
Master and servant together for eight years, Miss treat her generous and forgiving
In her heart, she has long regarded Miss as the closest and most important person
Regardless of what the young lady has become, she will faithfully follow as always
Xuan Cao continued to say with great interest: ”Later on, when the Lu family’s subordinates were busy settling down by moving their luggage, Auntie led the two cousin young masters to Yonghe Hall
The slave girl was too short and couldn’t see the appearance of the cousin young masters even when she stood on her tiptoes
Only heard that there is a cousin young master born face like a crown jade looks like Pan An handsome and suave, but unfortunately the slave servant did not have the opportunity to take a look with his own eyes” “Xuan Cao,” Ling Jingshu suddenly opened her mouth to interrupt Xuan Cao’s gushing, “You’ve done well
Now go to Yonghe Hall again, and if there is any latest news, come back to me at any time”
Daylily got praised, the heart of the beautiful, crispy should be, exuberant retreat
Face like a crown jade looks like Pan An handsome and suave Lu family cousin
Ling Jingshu sneered and pulled the corner of her lips
In her previous life, she had fallen in love at first sight and sworn an oath to the sea, and she had tied the knot and promised her life to each other!
No one was more familiar with his appearance than she was!
She once thought that he would be her lifelong reliance and future
But the ruthless reality gave her a fatal blow
After two short years of love and sweetness, he traveled to Luoyang to take the imperial examination
After the news of the high school scholar, she was so happy that she did not sleep for a few nights
To her two-month-old son, she recited: “Your father has won the Scholarship and will stay in the capital as an official
He will soon come back and pick up our mother and son to go to Luoyang together” However, several years after that, he never came back
Handsome and versatile, he was young and ambitious, and won the favor of the most noble princess of the Great Zhou
He wanted to climb the dragon and phoenix to enjoy a lifetime of wealth, so he abandoned his wife and children far away in Jizhou, who were looking forward to his return
He threw her in the filthy Lu family suffered a lot of humiliation and died of hatred
Until the moment she closed her eyes full of resentment, unwillingness and pain, she had never seen him again
