Ling Xiao's expression changed again and again, and after hearing this, his face was filled with shock and horror.
No wonder Ah Shu doesn't like the Lu brothers at all.
No wonder Ah Shu insisted on coming to the capital.
No wonder Ah Shu avoided the emperor's grandson and King Yan.
It turned out that Ah Shu actually suffered from such a strange disease. He was obviously the person closest to her, yet he was so negligent that he remained completely unaware...
"Ah Shu," Ling Xiao groped and tightened his grip on Ling Jingshu's hand, his voice trembling: "Why have you been hiding such an important matter from me?"
Ling Jingshu sighed softly: "This kind of illness makes it really hard for me to talk about it. If my father hadn't come to the capital, I still wouldn't have said it. Ah Xiao, you don't have to blame yourself. I deliberately wanted to hide it from you, how could you May notice."
Ling Xiao's nose felt sour, and her heart felt sour and sad: "Ah Shu, your life is too bitter."
A girl in a boudoir suffers from such a strange disease. What should she do in the future? Are you going to never marry for the rest of your life
no!
He couldn't just watch Ah Shu in pain.
Ling Xiao's mind started to work quickly: "I have never heard of this strange disease. However, as long as it is a disease, there must be hope of cure. There are many famous doctors in the capital, and there will always be someone who can cure you."
Speaking of this, Ling Xiao became excited again: "I will see Imperial Physician Wei in a few days and beg him to treat you. Imperial Physician Wei is the youngest and most powerful physician in the Imperial Hospital. His medical skills are unparalleled. He I will definitely cure you..."
"There's no need to ask Dr. Wei."
Ling Jingshu calmly interrupted Ling Xiao: "More than a month ago, Imperial Physician Wei discovered my strange disease when he was diagnosing my pulse at Princess Changping's Mansion. He was also helpless."
Ling Xiao was speechless.
"Axiao, this may not be a bad thing for me." Ling Jingshu's voice was still calm as usual, with determination: "I don't want to get married, let alone others to arrange my fate. My illness has not been cured for a day, No one can force me."
My illness is not cured in one day, and no one can force me...
Ling Xiao silently thought about this sentence, and the more he smacked it, the more meaningful it became.
It’s not that Ah Shu’s disease cannot be cured, it’s that she simply doesn’t want to be cured!
Seeing that Ling Xiao had some realization, Ling Jingshu chuckled: "Okay, don't think too much. I know exactly what to do."
After a pause, he said, "I'll take care of my father's side as well. The most important thing for you right now is to rest in peace and recover from your illness. Don't worry about this."
It doesn't matter no matter how stiff or cold the fight between her and Ling Wuye is. But these shouldn't affect Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao responded vaguely, but secretly made up his mind.
If Lord Ling Wu continued to force Ling Jingshu regardless, he would never sit idly by and ignore it. Even if he had to completely break up with his father, he would still stand up in front of Ling Jingshu.
…
In the evening, the Ling Mansion held a family dinner.
The men took one seat, and the women took another seat.
Everyone tacitly ignored the unpleasant scene that happened in the afternoon.
Ling Jingyan curiously asked about Ling Jingshu's trip, and Ling Jingshu talked about it lightly. Empress Xu's troubles and the subsequent appearance of Imperial Physician Wei were ignored.
"Empress Jieyu is so approachable and kind to you!" Ling Jingyan's tone revealed a hint of envy: "Ah Shu, you are really lucky."
Mrs. Jiang also smiled and said: "Yes, Ah Shu has a great fortune and has won the favor of Princess Anya and Empress Jieyu. If these things spread, I don't know how many ladies in the capital will secretly be jealous."
Even Mrs. Sun also said a lot of nice things.
Ling Jingshu smiled lightly and didn't say much. It wasn't until the banquet was about to end that he whispered: "Cousin, Cousin Yan, I have been hiding something from you. I'm really sorry. Today, it's time to tell you the truth."
Sun's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously opened her mouth to stop him: "Ah Shu, we'll talk about this later."
"Auntie, my father came all the way to the capital because of my illness. If I continue to hide it from everyone, I will feel really sorry."
Ling Jingshu's tone was calm and her expression was extremely determined.
Sun opened her mouth, but there was no way to dissuade her. She could only sigh helplessly: "That's all, this is your business after all. Since you don't want to hide it anymore, it's up to you."
Jiang and Ling Jingyan were intrigued and asked in unison: "Ah Shu, what on earth is going on?"
Ling Jingshu lowered her voice and explained her illness in the most concise words.
Ling Jingyan took a breath and looked at Ling Jingshu with eyes filled with astonishment: "How could there be such a strange disease in this world? Ah Shu, you didn't lie to us, did you?"
Ms. Jiang frowned and glanced at Ling Jingyan with a slightly annoyed look: "Why would Ah Shu lie to us about such an important matter?"
Making such a fuss hurt Ling Jingshu's heart too much.
Didn't you see that Mrs. Sun was silent? He had obviously known about this for a long time.
Ling Jingyan knew she had made a mistake and immediately lowered her head to admit her mistake: "Ah Shu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you. I just heard it suddenly and couldn't react at the moment."
Ling Jingshu had long been accustomed to Ling Jingyan's outspoken nature. She smiled faintly when she heard this: "Cousin Yan, I don't blame you. To be honest, if it were someone else who suffered from the strange disease, I would inevitably be surprised when I heard about it. In the past, I didn’t say it because I didn’t know how to say it.”
Ling Jingyan had a look of realization on her face: "No wonder the Emperor's grandson and King Yan showed their kindness to you, but you were unmoved..."
It’s really hard to pick up any pot!
Sun glared at Ling Jingyan.
Ling Jingyan stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to talk any more.
Jiang also figured out the reason and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Ling Jingshu is still so young and has such a strange disease. What will she do in the future
I think so in my heart, but I can't say it in my mouth. Mrs. Jiang said a lot of words of comfort.
Mrs. Sun also opened her mouth to comfort Ling Jingshu: "There is no disease that cannot be cured in this world. There are so many famous doctors in the capital, so we can just quietly invite famous doctors to come to the house to treat you."
Ling Jingshu twitched her lips: "Thank you, auntie. However, there is no need to ask a famous doctor. I have already asked Dr. Wei to treat me."
Sun's eyes lit up and she was filled with joy: "Oh? This is really great! Dr. Wei is best at treating difficult and complicated diseases, and his medical skills are superb and unmatched. It would be great if he is willing to treat you. I will tell your father the good news later, and he will be very happy."
Wei Yan's shield is indeed very useful.
A hint of unknown smile flashed in Ling Jingshu's eyes: "Then Auntie Lao will tell father."
Sun agreed immediately. For a moment, she didn't notice that Ling Jingshu could have told Master Ling about this kind of thing herself, but let her pass on the message. (To be continued)
