Chapter 87
This Listening Bamboo Xuan had an excellent view, sitting by the window, one could take in the scene in front of Ding Xiang Lou and on the street
King Yan’s gaze fell somewhere, a glint of amusement flashing through his eyes
Only the guards standing at the side of King Yan caught a glimpse of what he was looking at
A coachman drove the carriage in a different direction, and a line of women who wore curtains and hats and whose faces could not be seen were boarding the carriage
King Yan’s gaze clearly landed on the young girl wearing azure-colored dress
Without being able to see her face, just by looking at her slender and attractive back, he was able to guess that this was a rare beauty
It seemed that this was the Miss Ling Jiu that Eunuch Xi was talking about
That Miss Ling Jiu was quite perceptive, seemingly noticing that someone was staring at her figure, she quickly turned her head to look over
Through a layer of light veil, she was in distant contact with King Yan’s gaze
His Highness King Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled
Miss Ling Jiu was unresponsive as she quickly turned around and boarded the carriage
Then, without stopping for a moment, the Ling family carriage quickly departed
The obstinate and stubborn yet intelligent and resourceful nature of Miss Ling Nine, His Majesty King Yan’s narrow eyes narrowed slightly as a hint of inexplicable smirk swept across the corners of his lips
Eunuch Xi notices that King Yan is distracted, and instead of panicking, he is secretly happy
It seemed that King Yan was only planning to punish him a little, and had not made up his mind to take his lifeThe slave is loyal to the Lord, please spare the slave’s life, and allow the slave to work well in the future to repay his master’s kindness!”
Eunuch Xi’s cry of loyalty was quite emotional
Yan Wang pulled the corner of his lips: “You do the chamberlain is a pity for your talent, if it is to go to the pear orchard to do theater
It would have become a famous actor red corner”
The tone was teasing
That is to say, the matter of deception just now, is considered to be over
Eunuch Xi was overjoyed in his heart
Squeezing out a fawning smile, “Thank you for your highness’ compliments
However, the slave will be serving Your Highness for the rest of his life, and this Pear Garden will not be able to go”
Yan Wang frowned in disgust, “Go and wash the blood and tears from your face before you come over, it’s really diaphragm-inducing to look at”
Eunuch Xi replied in a chorus, busily getting up and retreating
After Eunuch Xi left, Yan Wang instructed the guards around him, “Li Jun, order someone to go and check out the Ministry of Public Works Department’s Langzhi Yuan
Find out everyone in his residence”
Especially this Miss Ling Jiu
This last sentence
There was no need to say it out loud, Li Jun naturally understood it and immediately led the order, “Underling obeys”
Ling Jingshu sat on the carriage
She looked calm and collected, but in her heart, she secretly recalled the shocking glimpse she had received before getting on the carriage
It was a quick glance, and against the light, so she couldn’t really see it
However
She clearly knows
The person sitting by the window looking at her was Yan Wang
In her previous life, she was under house arrest in the Lu family, and had a vague impression of what was going on outside, only knowing that the person who eventually sat on the throne was King Yan
She had no idea about the Yan King’s temperament
This time they met, but only for a short moment, said a few words
With these, one can only get a shallow and superficial impression
This Yan Wang’s behavior style, quite a bit of capriciousness and wantonness
It is very different from the royal grandson who always keeps a cold face and does not distinguish between anger and joy
Yan Wang’s real face and temperament is unknown
Silence all the way
When they returned to the Ling family, it was already shenzhen time
Everyone went to see Sun first
Sun saw that everyone was not in high spirits
Somewhat surprised, she smiled and asked: ”What’s wrong with you guys
After going out to play for most of the day, why aren’t you happy, instead, you all came back with drooping faces
Is something wrong?”Nothing’s wrong”
The crowd replied in unison
The answers were too neat and consistent
It was almost as if they had discussed it Sun’s heart grew doubtful, and without looking at Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingshu’s siblings, she only asked Jiang, “Yuniang, is there really nothing going on today?”
Being pressed like this by her mother-in-law, Jiang was quite calm and replied with a smile, “We went to Huechun Hall first, and the name card has already been given to the steward, and we have also memorized cousin Xiao’s name
On the morning of the fifteenth day, if we go there earlier, we will be able to see Dr Wei
Later on, I went to Ding Xiang Lou for lunch”Ding Xiang Lou’s reputation is big and business is booming, today there is only one elegant room left
After we entered the elegant room, the guests who had originally booked the elegant room came again
As a result, there were a few verbal arguments and sulking
Fortunately, the empty elegant room was vacated again later, so we ate and returned”Speaking of which, it’s just a small matter, just a little depressed in my heart, so I’m not in high spirits
Instead, I made Granny worry”
Not half a lie, yet skillfully avoiding all the key points
In the future, if the matter is exposed, Jiang will not fall into the trap of deceiving the elders
She was really thorough and meticulous in what she said
Ling Jingshu couldn’t help but admire Jiang secretly
Sun’s suspicions were really gone, smiling and said: “It’s just a small matter, no need to take it to heart
You guys are tired after running around for half a day, so go back and rest first
I’ll have someone call you at dinner time”
Since leaving Ding Xiang Lou, Ling Jing Yan had not said anything sullenly, nor had she looked at Ling Jingshu again
Living in the same Lixia Courtyard, it was inevitable that they would travel together all the way
Ling Jingyan kept her head down and did not speak to Ling Jingshu the whole way
Ling Jingshu also did not go up to make a fool of herself, pulling Ling Xiao’s hand to walk forward slowly
In her heart, she thought that when Ling Jingyan’s anger was over, she would talk to her and coax her a little As she thought, Ling Jingyan, who had already stepped into the Sunset Cloud Courtyard, suddenly turned around with a taut face: ”Cousin Shu, you follow me
I have something to say to you”
The originally intimate Ah Shu had become Cousin Shu again
The tone of her voice was also taut, completely missing her usual playfulness and vivacity
Ling Jingshu secretly sighed in her heart, but on her face she smiled as usual: “Okay, I’ll send A Xiao back to his room first and then I’ll come back to you”
After sending Ling Xiao back to her room, Ling Xiao tugged on Jingshu’s sleeve to stop her from going, “Shu, listening to Cousin Yan’s tone, she seems to be having a disagreement
Don’t go, lest you get into a verbal argument with her”Now that we are living in Great Uncle’s house, if you and Cousin Yan fall out, no matter who is right or who is wrong, Great Auntie and Great Uncle will definitely protect Cousin Yan
It’s always you who will suffer at that time”
Looking at Ling Xiao’s serious and worried face, Ling Jingshu’s heart warmed, “Ah Xiao, your worries are not unreasonable
However, since you know Cousin Yan’s nature, you should know that I have to go and explain the misunderstanding
Otherwise, if the two of them leave this lump in their hearts, it will be even worse in the future
Besides, we still don’t know how long we’ll be staying in the capital, and we can’t keep avoiding her!”
Ling Xiao is silent for a moment before reluctantly letting go, “I can’t always talk past you”
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled, patting Ling Xiao’s shoulder in a relaxed tone, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon”
