Chapter 61
The Ling family’s official ship followed closely behind the royal grandson’s group of official ships
The shadow of the bandits’ night attack still loomed over the hearts of all the people, as if they were birds of prey, the slightest breeze would cause panic
Tailed in the royal grandson’s flotilla, to be considered peace of mind
They sailed together, traveled together, and anchored together to rest
At the time of rest, Master Ling really led Ling Ji to go to the Emperor’s grandson’s ship to ask for peace
As for a group of women, since it is inconvenient to accompany
Ling Xiao’s blindness makes it difficult for him to move, so he is unwilling to follow, sitting in Ling Jingshu’s house, stunned and silent, not knowing what he is thinking aboutAh Xiao, what’s wrong with you?”
Ling Jingshu asked with concern
This day was so busy that her mind was fluttering, and in the afternoon, she spent half a day at Ling Jingyan’s place, and for a while, she didn’t care about Ling Xiao
It was not until this moment that she noticed Ling Xiao’s abnormality
Ling Xiao squeezes out a smile, “Nothing, I’m fine”
The smile is forced and ugly
This is not nothing, it is clearly a heavy heart
Because of his blindness, Ling Xiao seldom comes into contact with outsiders, and his mind is extraordinarily sharp and delicate
Ling Jingshu softly said, “Are you still thinking about last night?”
Ling Xiao did not want to admit it, but he never lied in front of Ling Jingshu, and only after a long time did he give a low hmmm
He had always grown up in the inner mansion, how had he ever experienced a scene as dangerous and frightening as last night’s?
Ling Jingshu looked at such a Ling Xiao, her heart was clenched, she couldn’t help but walk up and embrace Ling Xiao’s thin body, “Everything is in the past, you don’t have to think nonsense anymore”
Ling Xiao’s muffled voice sounded, “Ah Shu, I’m too useless
Encountered bandits
Couldn’t protect you at all and became a drag, I’m so useless”
When Ling Jingshu resolutely followed the bandits
He was saddened
And had never hated his blindness and weak uselessness so much!
If he could see, he could at least stand in front of Ah Shu!
At least he wouldn’t have watched Shu being held hostage and taken away
At least he would have been able to chase after her like Bai Yu did, and share her life and death with her
But he couldn’t do anything, tripped and fell on the cold boards of the ship, listening to A Shu’s footsteps going away, weak and helpless, crying he was useless!
He is a waste!
Tears slipped from the corner of Ling Xiao’s eyes
They dripped onto the back of Ling Jingshu’s hand, a slight chillHow can you be a drag”
Ling Jingshu’s heart was both sour and heartbroken, so she was busy softly comforting, “Ah Xiao
In my heart, you are the best and most outstanding teenager in the world, as well as the most gentle and considerate good brother”
Ling Xiao didn’t say anything, his shoulders shrugged slightly
From time to time, intermittent sobbing sounds came out
Ling Jingshu sighed softly
She doesn’t say anything either and only gently pats Ling Xiao’s back
He was in a gloomy mood, and it was good that he was willing to talk and cry, better than being depressed in his heart
I don’t know how long it took for Ling Xiao’s crying to gradually stop
Ling Jingshu wiped his tears with a handkerchief, “Are you in a better mood now?”
Ling Xiao gave a somewhat embarrassed hmmm
He is such a big man, but he still cries and wipes his tears, even in front of his closest friend, Ling Jingshu, he still blushes a littleNo one expected such an accident to happen
Now that everything has been resolved peacefully, things have completely passed
Just stop thinking about it”
Ling Jingshu said in a low voice, “You can’t see with your eyes and have many inconveniences
Wait until your eyes are cured in the future
It’s not too late to come back to protect me”
Ling Xiao nods vigorously, “Ah Shu, I really want to immediately go to the capital, immediately meet that Imperial Doctor Wei, and immediately beg him to cure my eyes”
Three immediately in a row, amusing Ling Jingshu
Ling Jingshu laughed softly and agreed in a child-like tone, “Yes, yes, yes, we’ll be in the capital soon
Then we’ll go to Hui Chun Hall and beg Eunuch Wei to treat you, as long as we can cure your eyes, it’s worth spending even more silver”
Ling Xiao protests a little unhappily, “Ah Shu, I’m only a few hours younger than you, and I’m the same age as you
Don’t you always treat me like a child, okay!”
Look at this temper, clearly a child who hasn’t grown up yet!
Ling Jingshu guffawed and continued to coax, “Fine, fine, it’s all my fault, I should have treated you as an adult long ago
You are already fourteen years old, in a year or two you should have gotten married and had children, where you are still a child”
Ling Xiao: “”The pretty white little face instantly turns red
Ling Jingshu couldn’t help but laugh, but secretly sighs in her heart
In his previous life, Ling Xiao was betrothed, but before he was married, Li poisoned Ling Xiao
Poor Ling Xiao, before he had the chance to get married and have children, he fell in his best years
What she just said was half a joke, but the other half was a heartfelt sigh
She has no intention of marrying again and having children in her life
She only hoped that Ling Xiao would be able to marry and have children like normal people and grow old happily
Ling Xiao held his tongue for a long time, ”I don’t want to get married early
After I have cured my eyes, I still have to study and get my degree
In the future, I will pick a good husband for you, and when you get married, I will get married again”
Ling Jingshu said half-heartedly, “I will never marry in my life, so you don’t have to worry about me”
Ling Xiao’s reaction, however, was unexpectedly sharp and immediately frowned, “Ah Shu, are you hiding something from me?”Of course not”
Ling Jingshu denied without thinking
Her retort was too quick!
Instead, it showed a desire to cover up
Ling Xiao’s gaze was blank and unfocused, but accurate, “Ah Shu, we are siblings from the same mother
You pity and heartache me and take care of me in every way
My feelings are the same as yours
I also wish to be your reliance, perhaps I can’t do anything right now, but at least I can share some of your heartache”You don’t always treat me like a child, I’ve grown up
You should stop hiding everything from me”
Ling Jingshu hid her heartache extremely well, and Ling Jingyan and the others who were with her night and day were all hidden from her
But how could they be hidden from Ling Xiao, who had a heart-to-heart with her?
Ling Xiao has not been pursued, but also his thoughtfulness and tolerance
Ling Jingshu looked at the face that resembled her own, and a sudden impulse arose in her heart
To tell Ling Xiao everything!
Even though so many people had failed and betrayed and hurt her
But Ling Xiao would never turn his back on her
Carrying a heavy and dark past and hatred was like a huge stone weighing heavily on her heart
Like a fish in her throat, it is difficult to sleep or eat, and she thinks about it day and night
If someone can share her worries, perhaps she can also be more relaxed words to the edge of the mouth, but turned into a perfunctory as if nothing had happened: “Ah Xiao, how can I have something to hide from you”
The pain that tore her heart and lungs apart like that, it was better for her to carry it alone!
A flash of disappointment flew across Ling Xiao’s face, but he did not pursue the matter
Ah Shu had secrets that she refused to tell him, she must be afraid that he would follow her with worry!
He had to grow up and be strong as soon as possible in order to become A Shu’s reliance
