Chapter 223
Without waiting for the sourness in Wei Yan’s heart to float out, she heard Ling Jingshu ask softly again, “Wei Yan, there’s something I want to ask you
Can you tell me the truth?”
Wei Yan’s floating and uneasy heart immediately calmed down and asked without answering, “What is it that you want to ask me?”
His reaction like this more and more verified the suspicion in Ling Jingshu’s heart
He must be hiding something important from her!Did you go to the Imperial Grandson?”
Ling Jingshu gazed at Wei Yan with both eyes, paying close attention to the change in his demeanor, “What did you say to him?”
Unfortunately, Wei Yan’s demeanor was unchanged and unusually frank, unable to see the slightest hint of abnormality, “How do you know that I went to see the Imperial Great-grandson?”
Ling Jingshu was a bit dissatisfied, “You’re avoiding the issue again
I asked the question first, and you haven’t answered me yet!”
There was a hint of unconscious pout in her tone
That was the look that would only come out when she had dropped her defenses and wariness and was speaking to someone familiar and close to her
Wei Yan sighed with a helpless face, “Alright, don’t be angry, it’s my fault
I’ll answer your question first, yes, I did go to the Imperial Grandson
And, also told him about your illness”Don’t get angry first
I naturally have my reasons for doing so
You kept your illness from everyone before, and the Imperial Great-grandson and King Yan each had their hearts set on you, but of the two of them, neither one of them would marry you as the rightful consort
With your pride, you would not want to be a concubine either
Therefore, I think it would be better to take advantage of this time to secretly inform the Imperial Great-grandson of your illness, to put an end to his thoughts and spare him the worry”As for King Yan’s side, with Empress Xu around, there’s no need to worry”
He certainly had selfish motives for doing so
As long as she was not cured, she could not get married
Even though the Imperial Grandson and Yan Wang were powerful
They couldn’t force a young girl who couldn’t get close to a man!
This also bought him a lot of time
This time was also enough for him to do a lot of things Alright, now it’s your turn to answer my question
How did you know about the fact that I went to look for the Imperial Grandson?”
Wei Yan looked relaxed, but he secretly raised a heart
What that one **** and the imperial tai shun said in the secret room, the imperial tai shun shouldn’t have told Ling Jingshu everything!
No, this would never be possible!
Men know men’s minds best
This kind of thing for others to do graft
The Imperial Great-grandson would never do it
A series of thoughts flashed through Wei Yan’s mind
On his face, he did not show the slightest bit of color
Ling Jingshu gazed at Wei Yan and faintly replied, “On the day that Third Miss Jiang reached her maturity, I went to observe the ceremony along with my great aunt and the others
The Imperial Great-grandson ordered someone to find me
He said some inappropriate words”
What do you mean by “inappropriate”?
What do you mean by “inappropriate”?
What did the Imperial Great-grandson say to her?
Wei Yan unconsciously wrinkled his brows and asked tentatively, “What did he say to you?”
Ling Jingshu’s eyes flickered, “Everything that needed to be said was said
I was very shocked in my heart after hearing it, it was unbelievable
That’s why when I saw you today, I purposely asked about it”
If Huang Taisun really told her everything
She would have only hidden it in her heart and not told it to her mouth
Now, opening her mouth to ask in such a serious manner, but instead, she revealed a bluff to cover up the situation
She was swindling him!
Wei Yan’s raised heart gently fell back to its original position
He sighed in a difficult manner, ”Since Huang Taisun has told you everything, I won’t hide it from you
What the imperial taisun said is all true”
Ling Jingshu: ” “Damn the cunning Wei Yan who plays dumb!
Ling Jingshu stared at a pair of watery eyes, two tiny flames jumping out from the bottom of her eyes
Wei Yan stared back with an innocent face
Only after a long time did Ling Jingshu indignantly spit out a few words, “Wei Yan
Don’t you play dumb”
Wei Yan looked at her angry red face and somehow had the urge to laugh
He stiffly squeezed out a look of bewilderment, “What do you mean by that?
Why am I playing dumb?”
Ling Jingshu was somehow extraordinarily annoyed, flattening her mouth and humming
She turned her head to the side as if she was gambling, “That’s just it!
I won’t ask if you don’t want to talk about it
It’s none of my business, so count me as nosy”
She was worried about him
That’s why she’s getting to the bottom of it!
Wei Yan looked at Ling Jingshu, who had a taut face, and a certain place in his heart suddenly became soft and warm, his voice also lowered and softened, “Ah Shu, I know you care about me
So after hearing just a few words, my heart was in a state of confusion, so I came to ask me specifically”Who cares about you!”
Ling Jingshu hadn’t yet fitted over her head, her voice muffled, “I’m just asking casually because I’m so idle”Yes, yes, yes, in short, it’s all my fault”
Wei Yan responded good-naturedly, “I shouldn’t have made you angry just now
However, what I said to the Imperial Great-grandson is a matter of great importance, and at every turn, there is the danger of killing one’s body and destroying one’s family
I didn’t tell you because I don’t want you to worry about it all day long
You are still a maiden, you should lead a leisurely and peaceful life”
His voice was low and gentle, like he was coaxing a child who had a temper tantrum
Ling Jingshu calmed down a little and suddenly realized that she was being awkward
Although she and Wei Yan had familiarized themselves a bit, they weren’t familiar enough to the point where they could throw tantrums at each other at will
What’s more, Wei Yan had been kind to both their siblings
How could she be so capricious based on his accommodations?
Ling Jingshu took a deep breath, turned her head, and smiled apologetically at Wei Yan, “I’m sorry, just now it was my impulsive impulse
I’m sorry that I was so impulsive just now, and I’ve dragged you down with me
I apologize to you, don’t take it to heart”
The smile was sincere and genuine, with apologies in his eyes
The young girl who had just revealed her true nature had put on her usual mask again in a short moment, rusty in her politeness
The previous harmony and concord seemed to be just an illusion
Wei Yan secretly sighed in his heart, and also collected the gentle accommodation on his face, replacing it with a bland and gentle expression: ”I don’t mind
You also don’t get hung up on this matter”
In the end, he still didn’t tell the truth of the matter
It was she who thought too highly of herself and mistakenly thought that she was special in his heart, which gave birth to the idea of getting an inch, presumptuously wanting to pry into his hidden secrets
Ling Jingshu couldn’t say whether she was disappointed or relieved, reaching out to take the prescription that had long since dried, she said with a smile, “I’ve been here for so long, there are still a bunch of patients outside waiting for you to see them, so I won’t waste any time”
Wei Yan nodded with a smile and urged, “Don’t forget to come back to Hui Chun Hall by the first day of next month”
Ling Jingshu answered, then turned to leave
Witnessing Ling Jingshu’s figure out the door until it disappeared
The smile on Wei Yan’s face also gradually faded away, and all the complex emotions condensed under his eyes
After a long time, it turned into a sigh
She did not say in her mouth, her heart must be very disappointed!
However, he would rather she be disappointed at this time, than worry about her day and night
