Chapter 406

After this not-so-pleasant episode, all of them were no longer interested in talking and went back to their respective courtyards to settle down and rest

Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao still lived in the same courtyard

Ling Xiao silently followed Ling Jingshu into the boudoir, Bai Yu and Qiaoyun knew that the two siblings had some private things to say, and retreated wiselyAh Shu, today you have been wronged again”

Ling Xiao is the first to break the silence, “Father is biased and listens to that Li’s all day long

I don’t know how much pillow talk Li has blown in his ear, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, he came to find trouble with you”

Ling Jingshu gazed at Ling Xiao and smiled faintly, “I’m not afraid of them finding trouble with me

Moreover, with you protecting me today, I’m not half aggrieved, I only feel pleasure in my heart

A Xiao, you have really grown up

In the future, when I get married, you will be the only one of my mother’s family that I can rely on”

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and puffed out his chest with vigor, “That’s for sure

If Wei Yan treats you badly or bullies you, I won’t let him off the hook”

Ling Jingshu raised the corners of her lips and nodded vigorously, “Good, in the future, I will definitely tell him these words as they are

Let him know that I have the backing of my compatriot brother”

Ling Xiao grinned, his smile clean and clear, with a bit of childishness and silliness

In fact, he knew in his heart that Wei Yan was sincere to Ling Jingshu, and after going through all the trouble to finally be able to marry her back, how could he treat her badly?

He said this because he genuinely wanted to support Ling Jingshu

Secondly, it was also a trace of inexplicable cynicism in his heart

In the past, he was the most important person in Ling Jingshu’s heart

After she got married, Ling Jingshu would have to take her husband as her husband

He, the younger brother, would have to take a back seat

It was like his sister had been snatched away from him, and his heart always felt a little bad

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and then said: ”If Li dares to pick a fight again, you don’t have to pay attention to it

You still have two months to get married, focus on embroidering some dowry is

Don’t pay attention to this kind of small person who makes a big deal out of nothing, so as not to spoil your mood

Leave everything to me”

Ling Jingshu’s heart warmed and she answered softly

Ling Xiao’s unprecedented toughness clearly shook both Master Ling Fifth and Li

Coupled with Old Madam Ling’s stern beating, in the next few days, both Master Ling Fifth and Li were very subdued and did not come to actively provoke Ling Jingshu

Ling Jingshu was also happy to be free

In addition to her daily morning and evening duties, she stayed in her boudoir to embroider her dowry

She was a girl who was about to get married, and it was only right that she was focused on getting married

Mrs Ling does not want to watch the Lu family fall apart, and spends all day thinking about how to spend money to save people

After learning about it, Master Ling smiled bitterly, “Mother, the Lu family is not guilty of ordinary trivialities, it is the felony of conspiracy to commit treason

The Emperor is the one who decreed that the Lu family should be decapitated, and no one would dare to plead for the Lu family

We are now avoiding suspicion is too late

You still want to rush forward, isn’t this pushing the Ling family into the fire pit?”

Such a shallow reasoning, Old Mrs Ling was not an old fool, how could she not understand?I know all of what you said

But you only have one sister, and I only have one daughter

Now that she’s in trouble, am I just going to stand by and watch her die?”

Old Mrs Ling said, her eyes already red, tears falling down

Looking at the old mother crying and weeping, Master Ling heart is also quite bad taste, low voice sighed: “If there is a way to save people, I would have contributed to save

I wouldn’t have had to toss myself sick and lie on my bed all day to avoid suspicion

Mother, this matter, we really can’t help, and we don’t have half a solution”

Old Mrs Ling cried for a while, then suddenly asked, “We are out of options, what about that Wei Yan?

He is Empress Wei’s sibling, a state uncle

If he is willing to plead for the Lu family in front of the Emperor, perhaps there is still a silver lining”

Wei Yan would soon be the Ling family’s auntie, it was only right to run errands for the Ling family

Master Ling let out a bitter laugh, “Do you think I haven’t thought about it?

But Imperial Doctor Wei is in the palace all day, it’s really not easy for us to see him”Then let Ah Shu send him a message and ask him to take the time to come to the Ling Mansion for a visit”

Old Mrs Ling said without thinking

Obviously, this thought had turned around in her mind more than once: “No matter how busy he is, it’s not so bad that he won’t even come to the door!”

Master Ling was still hesitant: “I’m just afraid Wei Yan is keeping his head in the sand and refuses to wade into this muddy water”

He is a good uncle of state, honored and in the ascendancy

Why would he want to do such a thankless task?

Old Mrs Ling’s thinking was too much of a matter of course

Old Mrs Ling gritted her teeth and said, ”No matter what, we have to give it a try

When he comes to the door of the Ling family, I’ll give up my old face and beg him

Let’s see how he refuses!”

This was an attempt to force the issue

Grand Master Ling subconsciously frowned

He wanted to stop him, but Old Mrs Ling had already ordered someone to go and ask Ling Jingshu to come over

Ling Jingshu entered the house and gave a blessing, “Ah Shu greets grandmother, greets elder uncle”

Old Mrs Ling had already wiped her tears, her eyes were still red, she forced a smile and said, “Ah Shu, come here, grandmother has something to say to you”

Old Mrs Ling was bent on having her way, and Grand Master Ling couldn’t stop her, so she had to keep her mouth shut

Ling Jingshu was so attentive and sensitive that when she saw how solicitous and polite old lady Ling was, she vaguely guessed a few points, and walked up as she was told, “I don’t know what my grandmother is asking me to do?”

Ling old lady is able to bend and stretch, in the past high and mighty, today in order to beg her granddaughter to help save people, give up this old face: “A Shu, your aunt has been robbed, now, only you can save her”

It was really for Ling’s sake

Ling Jingshu secretly sneered in her heart

In her previous life, she had escaped from the Lu Family and fled back to the Ling Family, full of hope that Old Madam Ling would take her in and protect her

As a result, Mrs Ling did not care about her grandchildren and sent her back to the Lu family’s fire pit

Now she was willing to bow down for Ling’s sakeGrandmother said this, but you’re really putting me down”

Ling Jingshu pretended to be flustered, “Such a big deal, I’m a lady of the court, how can I help”

Old Madam Ling clutched Ling Jingshu’s hand tightly, just like a person falling into the water grasping for the last straw: “Of course you can save her

Even if you can’t save her, Wei Yan can always save her”Wei Yan is the uncle of the state and has a voice in front of the Emperor

As long as he is willing to open his mouth and beg for mercy, perhaps the Emperor will be lenient and spare your aunt’s life”

Old Mrs Ling wasn’t confused to the point of knowing that the Lu family wouldn’t be able to escape this

Now she only begged Ling to liveAh Shu, it’s considered that I, as a grandmother, am begging you”

Old Mrs Ling cried as she said, “Write a letter to Wei Yan and ask him to come to the Ling residence

I will personally open my mouth to beg Wei Yan”
