Chapter 207
That night, Master Ling Fifth was very drunk
The maid Chuntao helped him back to the house to rest
The next day, Ling Jingshu heard the happy news that Chuntao had been taken in by the fifth master
When she heard about this, Ling Jingshu was not surprised, but only sneered and laughed
Ling fifth master is a celebrity, in Dingzhou often and “like-minded” friends to go to the green house boat drinking pleasure, “confidant” do not know how many
Li’s heart is narrow and cynical, can not control Ling fifth master in the outside of the affair, but refused to Ling fifth master concubines into the door
If Li had known that Master Ling had hired a maid right after he arrived in the capital, she would have been furious
Sun, as the eldest sister-in-law, was not in a position to ask about these affairs of the fifth master Ling, and only laughed casually, “All men are like this, where there are fewer people around to serve”
When Chuntao shyly came to ask for peace, Sun was also generous enough to reward a pair of gold bracelets
Probably because of the new favorite, the next two days, Ling fifth master’s mood is quite good
Ling Jingshu was no longer concerned about the bad language she used that day
He specially called Ling Jingshu to the study to talkA-shu, tomorrow A-Xiao is going to the Crown Prince’s residence to administer needles, I will just accompany A-Xiao”
Ling Fifth Master said in a pleasant manner, “You’re a maiden of the boudoir, it’s not appropriate to show your face, so you don’t need to follow along”
Ling Jingshu faintly replied, “Thank you for your compassion, father
It’s just that Eunuch Wei is usually on duty in the palace, and the opportunities to go out of the palace are few and far between
The only way for me to request Eunuch Wei to treat my illness is to take advantage of the day that A Xiao is administering the needles, or to go to Hui Chun Hall”
Ling Fifth Master immediately changed his mind, “If that’s the case, then we’ll go together”
After a moment’s pause, he laughed again, “These days, you siblings often go in and out of the Crown Prince’s Mansion, causing a lot of trouble for His Royal Highness the Great Sun
Tomorrow I can thank His Highness the Great Sun in person for his kindness”
The words were spoken in a dignified manner
Unfortunately, the gleam in his eyes betrayed the real mood of Ling Fifth Master at this time
Thanking you for your favor is just an excuse, taking the opportunity to get close to the Imperial Grandson is the real thing, isn’t it?
Ling Jingshu looked coldly at the greedy and snobbish face of Ling Fifth Master, and coldly reminded, “There’s no harm in father wanting to thank you for your kindness, but it’s better to say less than what you shouldn’t say”
Ling Fifth Master looked unhappy and glared at Ling Jingshu, “What words can be said
What can’t be said, is it not clear in my heart?”
Even if he wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix, he still had to take Ling Jingshu’s illness into consideration
Otherwise, he would not be able to make a marriage, but would instead make a grudge
Ling Jingshu understood Ling Fifth Master’s mind
She tugged at the corner of her lips and said, “It’s good that father is clear in his mind”
The fire in Ling fifth master’s heart whooshed upward, really wanting to scold this disobedient and unfilial daughter
On second thought, the glory and wealth of the Ling family and his bright future probably depended on Ling Jingshu, so he had to bear it again
Ling Fifth Master pressed down the anger in his heart and tried to put on a gentle and loving fatherly look: ”That’s right
There’s one more thing I didn’t have time to tell you
I came to the capital, your aunt and uncle also got the news
Especially let someone send a letter to me, want to let Lu Hong also follow me together to the capital to “Lu Hong?
What is he doing in the capital?
Once Lu Hong came, Lu Qian only refused to stop
Ling Jingshu frowned, no joy in her expression
The current situation was already chaotic enough, but with two more Lu Hong and Lu Qian brothers, wouldn’t it be even more of a headacheI was in a hurry to get to the capital, so I departed and moved first
Lu Hong left a few days later from Ji Zhou, and counting the days, he’s almost to the capital”
Ling Fifth Master saw that Ling Jingshu looked unhappy
He quickly guessed the reason and coughed, “Lu Hong’s second uncle is serving in the capital, when Lu Hong arrives in the capital, he will stay in Lu Ping’s residence and will not come to the Ling residence
You don’t have to worry”
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips, and coldness permeated her voice, “I’m not worried
I just don’t want to see him and Cousin Qian”
Ling Fifth Master was a bit stunned, “Your aunt only said that Lu Hong wanted to come to the capital to see the city, but she never mentioned that Lu Qian would also come”
Ling Jingshu did not want to discuss the Lu brothers and kept her mouth shut
Ling Fifth Master was also a person with a clear mind and quickly reacted, “You mean, Lu Qian will make a fuss and follow him to the capital?”
Ling Jingshu lowered her eyes
Hiding the coldness under her eyes, “I’m just guessing”
As for the reason why Lu Qian would make a scene and follow him to the capital, it didn’t take much thought to guess
Ling fifth master finally felt some tricky headache at this time, frowning for a long time before saying, “If their brothers come to the capital, they will inevitably have to come to Ling House to walk around
When the time comes, I will deal with them
You just avoid them”
If it wasn’t for the two Lu Hong brothers, how could Ling Jingshu have suffered from this strange disease!
Thinking about this, Ling Fifth Master was also filled with unhappiness
In the past, he had seen Lu Hong as a good choice for a son-in-law because of his talent and appearance, and of course he was happy to see it happen
But now, there is a better choice in the form of the Imperial Grandson
Lu Hong immediately became dull
Ling Jingshu couldn’t wait to never see the Lu brothers again, and Master Ling’s stance was just what she wanted: “Then thank you father”
The next morning, Ling fifth master led Ling Jingshu and her siblings to the Crown Prince’s Mansion
It had been too long since he had spent time alone with this pair of children
Fifth Master Ling had the intention to show some fatherly love, but he was at a loss as to what to say for a moment
Fifth Master Ling thought for a moment and squeezed out a gentle smile, “Ah Xiao, does it hurt every time you apply the needles?”
Ling Xiao is all sulky towards Master Ling Fifth, and doesn’t want to talk to him at all, and briefly responds, “It doesn’t hurt”
Ling Fifth Master bumped into a soft nail, he was a bit annoyed in his heart and wanted to put on a stern face to reprimand Ling Xiao for a few moments
Ling Xiao had already turned his head and whispered to Ling Jingshu
Ling Fifth Master stifled a cold snort and turned his head to the side with a heart full of unhappiness
Somehow, he was now a little frightened of Ling Jingshu
Under those bright eyes that looked like they knew everything, there were always a few unspeakable moments of weakness
This can’t go on like this!
He didn’t come to the capital to swim in the mountains
He wanted to find a doctor as soon as possible to cure Ling Jingshu’s strange disease, and then plan a good marriage for her
He was Ling Jingshu’s real father, so he should be the one to decide on her marriage
Furthermore, from what Mr and Mrs Ling said, putting aside his honorable status, the Imperial Grandson is also an extremely outstanding young man
Being able to marry the royal grandson was a blessing that she had cultivated over several lifetimes
What is there for her to be dissatisfied with?
What is there not to be happy about?
Her only regret was that she couldn’t be a proper consort
Although the Ling family is also considered to be a prestigious family, but over the years but declining, the most promising master Ling also only do the Ministry of Public Works of the fourth-grade officials
The Ling family’s daughter is not qualified to be the granduncle’s consort
However, these are not important
The important thing is to win the Emperor’s great-grandson’s favor
As long as there is the Emperor’s great-grandson’s favor, the position is solid, and then give birth to a son early, there may be a greater creation in the future
Ling Fifth Master’s brows stretched as he thought of his complacency
