Chapter 30
After the father and daughter had finished their business, they didn’t know what to say for a moment, looking at each other without words, somewhat inexplicably awkward
Ling Fifth Master coughed, breaking the silence, “Ah Shu, you are fourteen this year!”
At this age, it was the right time to talk about marriage
Ling’s words of temptation that day still ringing in our ears, Ling Fifth Master has thought carefully behind his back, and the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks it’s a good marriage
Ling Jingshu heard what Ling’s fifth master was saying, and immediately responded: “Father, I’m thinking about curing A Xiao’s illness, and I don’t have the heart to think about anything else
The major lifelong matter, it’s better to wait until A Xiao and I return from the capital!”
Looking at Ling Jingshu, who was calm and composed, a strange feeling rose in Master Ling’s heart
Shouldn’t a young girl be shy and bashful at the mention of marriage?
Ling Jingshu is also too calm and peaceful
Ling Jingshu raised her eyes, a hint of pleading surfaced in her beautiful and bright eyes, “This is something that concerns my happiness for the rest of my life
My daughter implores father, no matter who opens their mouth to father and mentions the marriage, don’t easily agree to it and wait for me to return before making a decision”
Although it was said that a child’s or daughter’s marriage should be at the mercy of their parents
However, parents who cherished their children always had to ask their children’s hearts before making a decision
Ling Jingshu’s request didn’t sound too much, and after a moment’s thought, Ling Fifth Master nodded and agreed
At this time, Mr Ling would never have thought that Ling Jingshu, who led Ling Xiao to leave Dingzhou for the capital, had already set her mind on never returning
As they were talking, the door was knocked on
Ling Fifth Master, who never liked to be disturbed in his study, asked in a deep voice, “Who is it?”
Li’s smiling voice sounded outside the door, “Master, it’s concubine and Ah Chuan”
It was Li’s mother and son who had arrived
Master Ling Fifth’s expression immediately softened by a few points and ordered Ling Jingshu to open the door
When Li saw Ling Jingshu come to open the door, she didn’t feel surprised and called out with a smile, “So Sister Shu is also here
Why didn’t you let someone tell you that you’re here?”
It was clear that she knew she was coming, so she deliberately led Ling Jingshu to stir up trouble
Over the years, Li had been responsible for the fossilized and cold relationship between her and the Fifth Master Ling
Ling Jingshu tugged at the corners of her lips and responded, ”I wanted to say something private to father, which is why I quietly came over
I didn’t expect to startle mother”
Li was choked for a moment, and was secretly annoyed in her heart
However, in front of Master Ling Fifth, she was absolutely unwilling to tear her face off with Ling Jingshu
This was precisely where Li’s brilliance lay
Li immediately changed the topic and said to Master Ling Fifth with a smile, ”Because of the old lady’s birthday, the family school had a seven day vacation
However, Ah Yan didn’t want to be idle for a single day, and early in the morning, he was clamoring to read
My concubine thought that since Master has nothing to do in the residence, why don’t you bring Ah Lin here and Master will personally teach him to read and write”
Although Ling Ling was small, he inherited Li’s eloquence and obedience, and walked forward in a serious manner, bowing and saluting to Master Ling Fifth: “I beg father for more guidance”
A six year old child, making such adult gestures, was both cute and pleasing
What’s more, Ling Ling is the youngest son of the Fifth Master Ling, and men are usually strict with their eldest son, and always dote a little more on their youngest son
Ling Fifth Master was dumbfounded and responded without thinking
Li’s eyes flashed with joy and pride, and she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Ling Jingshu
So what if Ling Xiao was even more intelligent back then?
Now that he’s blind, he’s just an invalid
Even though fifth master Ling had some pity for Ling Xiao, his favorite was his youngest son
Ling Jingshu secretly sneered in her heart
For the time being, she would let Li be pleased with herself
Soon she would give Li a taste of pain
Originally, Ling had always stayed in Yonghe Hall, but since Lu An came, she had to take care of her husband’s food and clothing, so she spent much less time in Yonghe Hall
However, old Mrs Ling has never been short of people to accompany her
Sons and daughters-in-law, grandsons and granddaughters-in-law, each scrambling to serve at the side of Ling old lady
Today, Yue led Ling Jingxian to come
Yue’s red eyes with an aggrieved face complained: ”
The second master brought the concubine and concubine son back, daughter-in-law did not treat harshly
But yesterday said a few words, the second master will not be happy, rushed daughter-in-law a temper
The first time I saw her, I was so happy to see her, and I was so happy to see her, I was so happy to see her
Poor Xianxian hadn’t seen her father for several years and was looking forward to his return day and night, but she never expected to see him like this
Granny can be for us mother and daughter to do ah ” With that, she covered her face with a handkerchief and cried
Ling Jingxian also red eyes, choked and shouted grandmother
Looking closely, the delicate and pretty face was indeed a bit red and swollen
It can be seen that under the anger of the second master Ling, used not a small amount of force
Ling old lady is not willing to ask about the concubine son’s room
Yue’s cynicism is heavy, and speak harshly, see the second master Ling brought concubines and concubine son back, which will not make a fuss
If Second Master Ling hadn’t been so angry, he wouldn’t have lost his temper
However, Ling Jingxian’s face fingerprints have not faded tears stained appearance is really pitiful
Old Mrs Ling sighed and comforted, ”Alright, you mother and daughter both stop crying
Tomorrow when Lao Er comes, I will say a few words to him
No matter how much anger you have, you shouldn’t take it out on Sister Xian’er
A girl’s cheeks are the most tender, how can she withstand such a strong hand”
Yue wiped her tears with a handkerchief and thanked her
Ling Jingxian begged, “Grandmother, father treats mother and I coldly, and it’s also because we’re not together much
In a few days, father will be leaving Dingzhou, I beg grandmother to let us mother and daughter go along with father ” “Shut up!”
Yue sharply interrupted Ling Jingxian, “It’s all nonsense
If we all leave with your father, won’t we not be able to fulfill our filial duties by your grandmother’s side?
Don’t ever say this again”
Ling Jingxian was too aggrieved to say anything
Yue looked apologetically at Old Mrs Ling again, “Sister Xian’er is still young, and her words are often not well thought out, so don’t take it to heart”
Ling old lady has lived for seventy years, has long been old and refined, would not be able to see Yue’s mother and daughter’s little trick, said faintly: “Xian sister’s words are also reasonable
Husband and wife living in different places is not a long-term solution after all
Tomorrow I will have a good talk with Lao Er and let him bring you mother and daughter together to go to the appointment”
Yue’s heart was delighted, but her mouth said, “How can this be
The second master has been on the move all the time, and it is only right that my daughter-in-law should let the second master stay in the old mansion to serve you
If she says she wants to leave, the second master will be the first to be unhappy”
Ling Jingxian also wasted no time in whispering, “Mother, isn’t it true that great-auntie hasn’t stayed in the old mansion either?”
Her voice was not loud, just loud enough for Old Mrs Ling to hear
Old Mrs Ling was a little unhappy in her heart
Listening to these words, it would be strange if they weren’t discussed before
It seems that Yue’s already had this in mind
I’m not sure how much I’m going to be able to do this, but I’m sure I’ll be able to do it
The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a good deal of money, and then you’ll be able to get your hands on a good deal of money, and then you’ll be able to get your hands on a good deal of money
The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and you’ll be able to do it all in one place
The fourth master of the Ling is only a district magistrate, there are concubines around is enough
Yue’s wife, to stay in the old house to serve her mother-in-law is the right thing to do
If Yue really wanted to go, she could have said so, and if Mrs Ling was unhappy, she wouldn’t have stopped her
But Yue’s behavior is so tricky that it makes people unhappy
Ling old lady sunk face, voice through some cold: “You mother and daughter want to go along with the oldest two is also common sense, I do not intend to stop you
I have no intention of stopping you, but what is the purpose of bringing up the eldest house?
If such words were to spread, wouldn’t it make people think that this old woman of mine has treated your second house harshly over the past few years?”
Old Madam Ling had been in charge for many years and was extremely dignified, at this time, her face was without a smile, Yue’s mother and daughter were immediately frightened in their hearts
Yue’s and Ling Jingxian coincidentally opened their mouths, “Granny (grandmother) please calm your anger ” Old Mrs Ling was in no mood to listen to their mother and daughter’s nagging, and waved her hand impatiently, “I’m a bit tired, you two retire first!”
Yue could only helplessly lead Ling Jingxian to leave
Before the two of them could walk out of the inner hall, they saw Mo Kwai smiling and coming in to report, “Reporting to the old lady, Miss Nine has something to ask for”
Old Mrs Ling, who claimed to be “a little tired”, immediately said, “Quickly let Sister Shu come in”
Yue’s mother and daughter: “”
