Chapter 55
That’s right!
This dagger was indeed Ling Jingshu’s At that time, when the bandits forced her to leave, she used this dagger against her neck
But why was this dagger on the bandit’s chest?
Ling Ji’s mind was in turmoil as he stared at the bloodstained dagger as if he had seen a ghost
Wang Tong looked at Ling Ji’s jaw-dropping stupidity and tugged at the corner of his lips, ”You didn’t hear it wrong, nor did you think it wrong
This bandit leader, is dead in the hands of that kind and delicate Miss Ling Jiu who cannot see blood
Just now the situation was critical, the bandit leader who was holding her hostage was already injured, if he was caught again, I’m afraid that before he died, he also wanted to grab on to Miss Ling Jiu’s back
Miss Ling Jiu was quite resolute, grabbing her hands and killing him first”
After a pause, he said, “This kind of thing should not be publicized, otherwise the reputation of Miss Ling’s daughter will be damaged
East Palace guards this side I will order down to keep it secret
As for the guards of your house and the boatman on the boat, it will be up to your son to step in”
With that, he shoved the dagger into Ling Ji’s hand
Ling Ji lowered his head and looked at the dagger, only to feel that it was heavy in his hand and even heavier in his heart
If it wasn’t for the sake of preserving everyone’s lives, Ling Jingshu wouldn’t have resolutely stepped forward
Knowing that the road ahead was dangerous, she still took the initiative to leave with the bandits
If Ling Jingshu had really suffered, how would the Ling family have the face to go back to the Ling family’s old mansion, and how would they face the people of the fifth house?
Ling Jingshu was forced to kill someone
So a weak girl, but so sensitive and resolute, really admirable
He was even more ashamed to be a seven-foot man
This kind of thing must not spread!
Once it spreads
Not only would the face of the Ling family be damaged, but Ling Jingshu would become an anomaly in the eyes of others Ling Ji quickly made up his mind and took a deep breath as he responded, “Thank you for reminding me, Commander Wang
I know what to do”Father
Big brother and Ah Xiao have both gone to the ship’s board, and there’s no more fighting or killing going on outside
Are we safe?”
Ling Jingyan, who had cried for half a day in both shock and clarity, her voice was already hoarse, and she squeezed out a few sentences with a trembling voice
Master Ling listened sideways for a while and said with little certainty, “There is indeed no unusual movement outside, and those bandits should have all been awarded their heads”
Sun’s voice was also a bit hoarse, “Someone come, light the candlestick first”
The maids who were paralyzed with fear finally reacted
Struggling to stand up, they fumbled to light the candlestick
There was finally bright light in the cabin
Jiang’s face suddenly changed as she trembled and said, “There are footsteps outside”
Everyone’s face changed
Those footsteps were not too heavy
It soon reached the door
The door was pushed open with a babble
Ling Jingyan had already screamed with her eyes closed
Grand Master Ling and Sun’s faces swished whiteDon’t be afraid, it’s me and Ah Xiao”
Those who appeared at the doorway were indeed Ling Jingshu’s siblings
There was some fatigue in Ling Jingshu’s voice
Only then did the crowd let out a long sigh of relief
Ling Jingyan, who was still screaming endlessly, immediately stopped talking, not knowing where the strength came from
She quickly got up and rushed over
She hugged Ling Jingshu and cried, “Cousin Shu, fortunately you came back safe and sound
Just now, when you left with the bandits, I was so scared, and I didn’t dare to make a sound to let you stay “Master Ling and Sun felt guilty in their hearts, and glanced at each other, silently turning their heads to the side
Just now, they watched Ling Jingshu leave with the bandits, and no one dared to say anything
Thinking about it now, it was just too cowardly and timid “Cousin Yan
You don’t have to blame yourself”
Ling Jingshu’s soft and calm voice came into everyone’s ears, “At that time, it was already fortunate to be able to save everyone’s lives
Furthermore
They were originally aiming at me
If I don’t take the initiative to follow them, they will never let me go”For the great uncles to not say anything, they must be thinking of preserving their strength and secretly waiting for an opportunity to save me back
This piece of hard work, how could I not know”
Eldest Master Ling and Sun’s face heated up a bit, knowing that this was Ling Jingshu’s thoughtful excuse for them to find an excuse really a reasonable and understanding good girl!
Master Ling cleared his throat and said, “Ah Shu, it’s been hard on you this time, you must have suffered a lot of shock
Come in quickly and talk”Yes, Ah Shu, come in quickly”
Sun also changed her tone, very intimate
There was some bitterness in Ling Jingshu’s voice: “I have a lot of blood splattered on me, I’m afraid I’ll scare you all
I’ll go back first to change into clean clothes before I come over to talk”
It was only at this moment that Ling Jingyan could smell the bloody odor on Ling Jingshu’s body
In normal times, Ling Jingyan would have been scared and her legs would have gone weak
However, today, she had experienced so many dangers
At this time, all of them were safe and sound, which was already a blessing from heaven
Who cares about this detail
Ling Jingyan tugged Ling Jingshu into the house, saying under her breath, “What’s there to be afraid of with some blood, as long as everyone is safe”
That was what she said
Under the light, when she saw the blood stains on Ling Jingshu’s dress, Ling Jingyan was still shocked and blurted out, “Ah Shu, where did you get so much blood on you?”
It was almost as if the blood was stained from killing someone up close Ling Jingyan was startled by the thought that flashed through her mind, and hurriedly waved the horrifying thought away, smugly looking for a reasonable explanation, “I know
It must be that the people who came to rescue you killed the bandits who were holding you hostage, and you were too close, and all the blood splattered down on you”
Ling Jingshu was silent, allowing Ling Jingyan and the others to misunderstand
Yes, no one would have thought that she was the one who killed that bandit with her own hands!
Even she wouldn’t have thought that she would have the courage to kill someone with her hands
At that critical juncture, the body’s reaction was even a step faster than the brain
The feeling of killing wasn’t wonderful, it was even a bit disgusting
However, she did not regret it
If things were to happen again, she would still make the same move
The only thing that made her anxious was that there were too many people present
This matter could not be concealed at all
Ling’s family would soon learn the truth only to see her as a deviant
If it was publicized in the future, it would be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the capital
This was Ling Jingshu’s real worry
Jiang opened her mouth and asked, “Ah Shu, who really saved us today?”
Ling Jingshu’s mind swept over the handsome and cold face of the young man in Xuan Clothes: “It was the Emperor Taisun who led the East Palace guards to come to our rescue”
The Imperial Great-grandson?
Jiang was first stunned, then quickly sighed in relief, “So it’s His Imperial Highness the Great Sun”
According to the blood relationship, she and the Imperial Tai Sun were cousins who had not left the five suits
However, the other party’s status was honorable, so she would not casually call out her cousin
Master Ling’s spirit was revitalized, immediately said, “You each go back to your room, freshen up and change your clothes, wait for dawn, I will lead you to thank you for your kindness”
