Chapter 192
Ling Jingshu’s expectations were half right
-That afternoon, the Ling family’s steward led Qiaoyun back to her second uncle’s house, stating that he wanted to buy Qiaoyun as a maid
Qiaoyun’s uncles and aunts, seeing that the amount of money for selling her body was more than selling it in a kiln, immediately signed the contract of sale
After returning to the house, the steward respectfully gave the contract of sale to Ling Jingshu
As a result, a maid named Qiaoyun was silently added to Ling Jingshu’s side
Other than Bai Yu, who knew the inside story and was full of grievances, no one was suspicious of Qiaoyun’s origins
When Ling Xiao learned of this, he did not think much of it and only laughed, ”Ah Shu, you are truly born with a good heart
After going out for a single trip, you saved a person and came back
This is good, you’ll also have another person available by your side”
Ling Jingshu smiled a little and casually responded, “Yes, I saved Qiaoyun’s life, and she will be loyal to me in the future”
Bai Yu hung her head, secretly worried in her heart
Why would the Imperial Great-grandson send an informant to the young lady’s side for good reason?
The young lady was not the least bit anxious and just accepted Qiaoyun
In the future, please don’t cause any trouble Ah Xiao, I went to Hui Chun Tang today and fetched a new ointment for you”
Ling Jingshu quickly pulled away, “Come over here, I’ll reapply the medicine for you and see how it works”
Ling Xiao happily agrees
-Using a soft gauze, dipped in warm water, Ling Xiao’s eyes are wiped clean all around, and a new ointment is gently applied
Wrap it again with a clean and soft white cotton clothHow do you feel now?”
Ling Jingshu asked with a smile
Ling Xiao smiles and replies, “Cool and refreshing, very comfortable”
And then he excitedly whispers, “Ah Shu, just now I opened my eyes while you were wiping my eyes
Hazily, I saw white light”
Ling Jingshu was first stunned, but then she was overjoyed and fiercely clutched Ling Xiao’s hand, “Ah Xiao, is what you said true?”
Even if she didn’t know anything about medicine, she could still hear that this was a good sign
Ling Xiao grinned, “How could I lie to you about something so important
In the past, when I opened my eyes, they were also gray in front of me
Couldn’t see anything
Now that I can see light blurrily, it seems that in a few months, my eyes will really be fine ” “Ah Xiao
I’m also looking forward to this day coming soon”
Watery light flashed in Ling Jingshu’s eyes as she gently wrapped her arms around Ling Xiao
Ling Xiao’s tender face steeply reddened as he was hugged like this
He was so old and was still being embraced as a child, it was really a bit embarrassing
However, he couldn’t bear to struggle
He was so awkwardly red-faced
Fortunately, Ling Jingshu quickly calmed down and let go of Ling Xiao, smiling and encouragingly said: ”Ah Xiao, administering the needle treatment hurts a bit, but it does have an effect
-You bear with it a bit more and obediently listen to Eunuch Wei’s words”
Ling Xiao laughs, “I’m not a child anymore, would I not understand this point”
After a pause, he added admiringly, “Imperial Doctor Wei’s medical skills are really brilliant, and he is gentle and patient
It’s just a pity that I’m a bit old, otherwise, I really want to shamelessly worship Dr Wei as a teacher to learn the art of medicine!”
The tone of his voice exuded strong respect and admiration
The moment Wei Yan was mentioned
Ling Jingshu was inexplicably a little uncomfortable in her heart and coughed, “Let’s wait for your eyes to be completely cured before saying anything
It’s getting late, let’s go have dinner together”
After dinner, Ling Jingshu returned to her boudoir
Bai Yu was preoccupied and frowned without saying anything
Ling Jingshu glanced at Bai Yu and asked half-jokingly, “Bai Yu, what’s wrong with you?
A look of sadness”
Bai Yu rounded her eyes, “Miss, somehow a Qiaoyun came out, and I don’t know what the Imperial Great-grandson’s intentions are
Aren’t you worried at all?”
Ling Jingshu thought briefly and decided to tell Bai Yu part of the truth: “Actually
I’m happy in my heart that the Imperial Great-grandson is willing to send his eyes to my side”
Bai Yu: “” “Bai Yu, you are the closest person to me, there are some things I can hide from others
But I can’t hide them from you”
Ling Jingshu slowly said, “I don’t want to hide it from you either
I came to the capital not only to cure Ah Xiao, but there is also a more important matter”However, this matter is too difficult to do with my strength alone
The Imperial Grandson is interested in me and had shown his feelings for me
But
I was unwilling to marry him as a side consort and refused at that time
I would rather defect to the Imperial Great-grandson, willingly become the eyes and ears of the Crown Prince’s House and work for it, and then use the power of the Crown Prince’s House to accomplish this matter”The Imperial Great-grandson must be infuriated in his heart after being rejected by me
He may not be willing to accept my defection
These days, I waited and waited, thinking that this matter was completely hopeless
Unexpectedly, Qiaoyun unexpectedly appeared today
I am both surprised and fortunate”
Speaking here, Ling Jingshu raised the corners of her lips and smiled, “So, you don’t have to worry”
Bai Yu collected her surprise and slowly calmed down
Although Miss did not say what that “more important thing” was, it was obviously a very important thing
It was naturally a good thing to be able to get the Royal Grandson’s help
Thinking about it, she didn’t need to be too afraid of Qiaoyun
Bai Yu thought for a moment and asked: ”If this is the case, then in the future, the slave girl will let Qiaoyun serve at Miss’s side more often
In the future, when Miss goes out of the house, she will also bring her along
This will also show His Highness the Taisun that Miss is sincere”
Bai Yu was indeed smart and understood the situation at a single point
Ling Jingshu nodded approvingly, “It’s good that you have it in your mind
You go and call Qiaoyun now, I still have some things to ask her”
Qiaoyun soon came
Qiaoyun took a bath and changed into the green cloth dress of the Ling Mansion’s maids, and bowed respectfully, “Slave servant Qiaoyun, greetings to miss”
The performance was moderate, just like an ordinary maid
Ling Jingshu made a wink at Bai Yu, who immediately retreated and closed the door behind herIt’s just you and me here, there’s no harm in saying what you have to say”
Ling Jingshu said indifferently, “His Highness Taisun sent you to my side, I think you always have some outstanding qualities!”
This was to interrogate her about her bottom line
Qiaoyun stood up slightly straight and answered, “The slave girl has learned some kung fu, and is more than capable of dealing with three or five ordinary men
What she is best at is light body work and hiding tracks, and her ears and eyesight are also sharp”
Ling Jingshu’s heart was suddenly clear: “That is to say, what you are best at is peeking and eavesdropping?”
This was the most important skill one should have as an eye insider
Qiaoyun didn’t feel embarrassed and responded with a sharp yes
Ling Jingshu thought for a moment and then asked, “Are all your origins true?
It won’t be revealed and cause suspicion, right?”
Qiaoyun smiled, “Qiaoyun is indeed a real person, the slave girl is just impersonating her
Please rest assured miss, the slave girl will not reveal her cloven foot”
