Chapter 220
The next day, it was another day for Ling Xiao to go to the Crown Prince’s Mansion to administer needles
Ling Fifth Master reluctantly asked, “Ah Shu, are you going to the Crown Prince’s Mansion today as well?”
From the bottom of his heart, Ling Fifth Master was not happy that Ling Jingshu and Wei Yan had too much contact
The man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, so Guatian Li Xia should avoid suspicion
Even if it was to cure a disease, there was no need to be alone!
What’s more, it’s still in the Crown Prince’s residence, right under the eyes of the Imperial Grandson
No matter how one thinks about it, it doesn’t feel right
But he, as a father, was losing his nerve against his increasingly assertive daughter, and Ling Xiao was also wholeheartedly protecting Ling Jingshu
His opinion had become irrelevant
Just thinking about all this, Ling Fifth Master felt full of stifled feelings
Ling Jingshu’s response was unexpected, “I won’t go today”
After a pause, she added, “After Dr Wei’s last visit, he told me that I need to take my time to regulate my condition, so I can’t rush it
In the future, I will go to Hui Chun Hall once every half a month
When Ah Xiao goes to the Crown Prince’s residence to administer needles, he will be accompanied by my father, so I don’t have to show my face and go back and forth”
Ling Fifth Master immediately let out a long sigh of relief, stretching his brows and smiling, “That’s fine, since Eunuch Wei said so, you can stay in the boudoir at ease!”
As if she was afraid that Ling Jingshu would back out, she hurriedly led Ling Xiao away
Ling Jingshu quietly looked at the distant figures of Master Ling Fifth and Ling Xiao, her heart was full of thoughts
The words just now were the words that she and Wei Yan had agreed upon long ago
The Prince’s Mansion was crowded, and every move could not be hidden from the Imperial Grandson, nor from Empress Xu in the palace
In order to be cautious, it is better for the two of them not to meet in the Crown Prince’s residence in the future
Hui Chun Tang was established by Wei Yan, and the managers and staff there are all loyal to him
It would be much safer for the two to meet there
Thinking of Wei Yan, Ling Jingshu recalled the meaningful words spoken by the Imperial Grandson yesterday
The questions that had been pressed to the bottom of her heart surged to the surface again
What did Wei Yan say to the Imperial Great-grandson?
What does he want to do?
Somehow, her heart always have some heavy bad feeling
Can’t wait to see Wei Yan, ask a clear understanding
Unfortunately, she had to wait a few days for the fifteenth day
The next few days, Ling Jingshu will be in the mind floating uneasy through
The happy news of the engagement between the Prince’s House and the British Duke’s House soon reached the ears of Ling’s family
Sun had expected this, and was not surprised to hear about it, but only muttered a few words to Master Ling in private: “With the Jiang family’s family lineage, a marriage with the Crown Prince’s residence would be a good match
The Yan King’s wedding will be at the end of the year
It seems that His Royal Highness the grandson’s wedding will be soon”
Master Ling hmmmed, “Today I was in the Ministry of Public Works’ official office and heard from well-informed colleagues that His Highness the Great Sun’s wedding date is set for March next year”I only hope that A Shu’s illness will be cured soon”
Sun subconsciously lowered her voice: “His Royal Highness will get married early next year, so at least he will have to wait for half a year after Consort Taisun passes through the door before accepting a side consort into the house
Calculating like this
There’s still about a year to go”
Grand Master Ling smiled disdainfully, “With Eunuch Wei’s treatment, Ah Shu’s illness will surely be cured soon
Perhaps it won’t take a year at all
By that time, A Shu will also be just past her maturity and will be able to get married”
As the couple was talking, they heard a servant report
Fifth Master Ling had come
Grand Master Ling led Fifth Master Ling to the study to talk
The two men were full brothers from the same mother, although they rarely saw each other over the years, their feelings were also a layer thicker than others
Ling Fifth Master spoke without fear, frowning and whining: “Big brother, didn’t you say that Huang Tai Sun is quite interested in A Shu?
How come the Imperial Great-grandson has settled on a marriage for a grand wedding so quickly?”
Grand Master Ling nonchalantly glanced at Fifth Master Ling and opened his mouth to criticize, “Look at you, you’re in your thirties and you’re still so calm
What kind of status is the Imperial Grandson, he must marry a noble consort
After the main consort passes through the door, can only by their own hearts to marry side consort passes through the door”What is the situation of our Ling family
Is it possible that you are still not clear in your heart?
Don’t be delusional about the dream of a great grandson’s consort, A Shu being able to marry into the Crown Prince’s residence as a great grandson’s side consort is already a great blessing”I’ve already made these things clear in the letter, so don’t be confused
Moreover, this kind of thing should never be mentioned to anyone freely, just know it in your own heart”
Ling Fifth Master nodded with a resentful face
People’s hearts were greedy, how could they ever be contented
Originally, before coming to the capital, he thought that his daughter would already be lucky to be the Taisun’s side consort in the future
After entering the Crown Prince’s residence and being treated by the grandson, the greed and ambition in the heart of the fifth master Ling also grew up secretly
He secretly fantasized that after his daughter became the consort of the grandson, he would be the father-in-law of the grandson
I don’t know how much glory and riches are waiting for me in the future
Unfortunately, the good dream has not waited to do a few days, was mercilessly woken up
Seeing Ling Fifth Master’s unhappy expression, he softened his tone: “Fifth brother, the matter of the great grandson’s wife has already been finalized
You shouldn’t be imagining things
The most important thing now is to cure Ah Shu’s illness first”Only after Ah Shu’s illness is cured will there be any hope of marrying the Crown Prince’s House
Otherwise, everything is just a pipe dream”
Fifth Master Ling tightened his brows in chagrin, “A-shu is my daughter, do you take it that I don’t want her to get better quickly?
A girl with this kind of illness
It’s almost like a monster
If she can’t be cured, this life will be over and she can only be sent to a nunnery to eat fasting and pray to Buddha”
When Master Ling Fifth became agitated, his speech was really not considered good
Master Ling couldn’t stand it anymore, and glared at Master Ling, “Monster or not, how can you just say such things
You’re still A Shu’s own father”
Ling fifth master words, also know that he misspoke, there is no bottom of the argument: “Here and no one else, only the two brothers, I was in a hurry to speak unavoidably a little hasty”
The first thing I did was to ask him, “I don’t want to talk about it anymore, but I’m just going to say it again and again, “In any case, it’s important that you treat A-shu,” he said, “I don’t want to talk about it anymore
In a few days, on the 15th day of the month, you will accompany A Shu to Hui Chun Hall”
Ling Fifth Master also knew that this matter was important, and quickly nodded his head and agreed
Among the crowd, Jiang was the one who was truly happy for this happy news
Jiang came from the Jiang family, and the British Duke’s House was both honored and disgraced
Jiang Shuyue was her cousin, and her relationship was quite close
Now that Jiang Shuyue has settled on such a good marriage, her cousin’s face is also quite honorable
Her mother’s family is very powerful, and her status has risen with it
Sun’s attitude towards her these days has also become more and more cordial
However, these were nothing
What really makes Jiang’s happy is that this month’s monthly letter has been late for half a month
She did not publicize, quietly asked the doctor to diagnose the pulse, and indeed diagnosed a happy pulse
