Chapter 404
Old Mrs Ling had two sons and a daughter, and her only daughter was like jewelry
Now that she suddenly heard that the Lu family was in trouble, she didn’t know how anxious she would be
Nine times out of ten, she would come to the capital
Ling Jingshu hmmm, did not say anything
Jiang was also not in the mood to talk, and after a few moments of relative speechlessness, they dispersed
The Imperial College is the highest educational institution in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and most of those who can study in the Imperial College are the sons and daughters of officials and eunuchs, so being well-informed is no big deal
The fact that Lu Ping was imprisoned and Lu’s family was escorted to the capital soon reached the ears of Ling Ji and Ling Xiao
The two brothers were shocked and immediately took leave to return home
Upon seeing the sickly looking Master Ling, Ling Ji was shocked and sat down on the edge of the bed in a panic: “Father, why are you suddenly sick like this?”
This was not pretending to be sick, it was clearly really sick!
Grand Master Ling coughed a few times before whispering, “I took a long vacation to recuperate, so of course I had to be really sick
Do you really think everyone else is a fool?”
To put on a show, you have to put on a full show!
He had been blowing cold winds for several nights in a row to make himself look like this
In this way, even if someone came to the door to visit the sick, they wouldn’t be able to pick out the thorns
Ling Ji looked at the sickly Grand Master Ling, and his heart really did not feel good
Ling Xiao also can’t help but sigh, “Why does Eldest Uncle have to toss his body like this”
To put it bluntly, Mr Ling is not young anymore
If he really suffers any problems, he will be the one who suffers in the future
The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty
Now is an extraordinary period, can only do so in order to clear all the suspicion trouble”You two brothers also remember, in the future, everything should be low-key and cautious
Don’t say anything that shouldn’t be said
If someone intentionally asks about the Lu family, you can all just shrug it off as ignorance”
Ling Ji frowned and said, “Although our daily dealings with the Lu family are not close, in the end, they are serious in-laws
Want to completely clear the relationship is impossible
In my opinion, at the tip of this storm, cousin Xiao and I are better off avoiding it
It just so happens that on the grounds of father’s illness, Cousin Xiao and I will take a long vacation together, saying that we will serve the illness in the residence”
Ling Xiao also nods in agreement, “Cousin brother is right
We’ll bring back all the books and read more on our own during the weekdays, so we won’t delay our studies”
After a slight hesitation, Grand Master Ling nodded his head and agreed
Not surprisingly, since he complained about his illness, many people came to visit him
The best friends are the ones who come to visit, but there is no lack of those who have no good intentions and come to Ling Mansion on the pretext of visiting the sick to find out the news
Fortunately, Master Ling is really sick
That face of illness, but can not be faked
It made those with evil intentions return sardonically
These flurry of disturbances did not have much impact on Ling Jingshu’s life
She stayed in her boudoir every day, embroidered some pillow scarves and silk handkerchiefs, made some shoes and socks, and waited for her marriage with peace of mind
Ling Xiao was originally a bit flustered, but when she saw how calm Ling Jingshu was, she quickly calmed down
Every day in the house, he reads hard, and it is quite a bit like a quiet wave in the midst of the chaos
Half a month later, Lu’s family was escorted to the capital
The first time I saw this, I was able to see the man in the house, and I was able to see the man in the house
The steward went for half a day, only to come back to report: “Lu’s family old and young together less than more than a hundred people, down the pier, after the prisoner car was sent to the Ministry of Justice prison
The old slave did not dare to get too close, but the aunt’s cousin young master and aunt’s grandmother were locked in the first prison car, the old slave did see
Clothes are still neat, spirit are not good, especially aunt grandma, thin almost out of shape”
Watery light flashed in Grand Master Ling’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything, waving his hand in silence, signaling the steward to retire
Sun called out to the steward again and instructed in a low voice, “Go to the account office and spend a few hundred taels of silver and send it to the jailer of the Ministry of Penalty’s prison
Have someone take more care of Auntie’s family of three, don’t let them suffer in jail”
The steward busily answered and retreated
Seeing Grand Master Ling’s mournful and downcast face, Sun spoke in a low voice to console him, “Don’t be too upset, Master
Things have come to this, and there is nothing more we can do”
After a pause, he added, “Granny and the others came to the capital when they received the letter, and counting the distance, they are almost there now
I’ve already had someone pack up a place to stay”
This time, the Ling family, both young and old, had come to the capital
One was for the Lu family, and the other was to give Ling Jingshu her marriage
They would have to stay at least until after the New Year before leaving
Grand Master Ling barely managed to muster up some energy, “I’ve been sick for a while now, so I’ll need you to take more care of everything”
Sun sighed, “Don’t say that, Master
In a situation like this now, it’s only right for me to be more busy”
Now, Master Ling had to be glad that Ling Jingshu had climbed into a good marriage
Because of the relationship between the Ling family and the Lu family, Grand Master Ling had to go to the Ministry of Justice to explain herself
Now is just a sick on a, avoiding the stormy wind and rain
The people look at the Empress Wei’s sake, the Ling family mouth mercy
It is really a blessing in misfortune
Three days later, the Ling family’s group finally arrived in the capital
Grand Master Ling was still lying on his bed
Sun personally led Ling Jingshu and the others to wait at the main gate
After waiting for about half an hour, they finally saw a long line of carriages returning
Because the family had come, the dowry specially prepared for Ling Jingshu had also been brought to the capital, and ten carriages had been used
At a glance, it was a magnificent sight
In addition to the second master Ling’s family did not come, even the fourth master Ling’s legs are not very convenient also came
Ling Fifth Master personally assisted the white hair and depressed spirit of Ling old lady off the carriage
The door is not convenient to talk, Sun led a group of people into the main hall
The people see each other, since they have to exchange pleasantries
Because of the Lu family disaster, this lively always seem a little bit anxious
Ling old lady has more than seventy years old, the body can not stand the bumpy ride, but also worried about her daughter’s family, I do not know how many times I cried along the way
Face full of wrinkles, looking particularly old, all without the spirit of the past
Li’s also lost a large circle, the former beauty and shrewdness have been greatly discounted
Ling completely injured a leg, walking need to rely on people to help
At this time, he leaned timidly behind Li, looking timid and silent
Ling Ting has matured quite a bit, standing at the side of Ling Fifth Master, spirited, with more self-confidence between his brows that he didn’t have before
Obviously, after Ling Ling’s leg was injured, the position of Ling Ting, the eldest son of the concubine, in the fifth house of the Ling family was different from the past
Ling Jingshu’s eyes skimmed over Ling Ling’s slightly pale and thin face, and her heart was indifferent
No matter what, Ling Ling at least retained his life
In his previous life, Ling Xiao had been victimized so badly by Li Clan, and now that Ling Ling has ended up in such a situation, there is no one else to blame
