As soon as Old Mrs. Ling spoke, Ling Jingshu's heart suddenly dropped.
This was the real purpose of her coming to see Mrs. Ling today.
Since Lu Qian begged Mrs. Ling to propose marriage, Mrs. Ling must have whispered in Mrs. Ling's ears. If you want to completely solve Lu Qian's trouble, it's best to start with Mrs. Ling.
"Thank you, grandma." Ling Jingshu's eyes filled with tears and she looked grateful. She breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and snuggled next to Old Mrs. Ling.
This look of vulnerability, helplessness, and wholehearted reliance on trust is what wins the favor of Mrs. Ling the most.
Mrs. Ling held Ling Jingshu's hand and pondered for a moment.
A young girl who has not yet left the government is suffering from this strange disease, and it is really not appropriate to publicize it. Once word spreads, not only will Ling Jingshu's reputation be damaged, but the Ling family's face will also be disgraced.
Ling Jingshu didn't dare to tell Lord Ling Wu about this, because she was worried that it would reach Li's ears. Li is a sweet-faced but bitter-hearted master, which shows that he is good at kung fu, but how can he hide what is going on in his bones from her eyes
If Mr. Li knew about this, he would probably deliberately exaggerate the matter.
Therefore, this matter must not be spread to outsiders.
But, how should Ling and Lu Qian explain it
"My granddaughter is unfilial and has caused great trouble to my grandmother." Ling Jingshu's voice rang in Old Mrs. Ling's ears.
Old Mrs. Ling came back to her senses and sighed: "Sister Shu, my grandmother didn't hide it from you. Your aunt has already told me about A Qian's admiration for you, and she also thought about proposing a marriage for A Qian. I was originally worried Because A Qian is two years younger than you, I don't want to agree to this marriage. But A Qian is stubborn and claimed in front of your aunt that she would not marry anyone but you. Your aunt also told me that the marriage should be settled first and wait until A Qian turns ten. Don’t get married until you are six years old.”
"Although the Lu family cannot be compared with those noble families in the capital, it is also a famous family. A Qian is the legitimate son of the family, and is quite favored by your uncle. When you marry into the Lu family, your biological aunt will be your mother-in-law, and she will never treat you harshly. Speaking of which, it is also a good marriage. So, I have promised your aunt."
Sure enough!
Ling Jingshu sneered in her heart, but her face showed nervousness and panic: "But, I only have a sister-brother relationship with my potential cousin, and I have no other thoughts. Moreover, I have this strange disease now. If it can't be cured, I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to get married in this life…”
As he spoke, he covered his face with his sleeves and began to sob.
Old Mrs. Ling felt distressed and helpless: "Don't worry yet. I have never heard of such a strange disease. However, there are many famous doctors in the capital, so maybe it can be cured."
If... this disease cannot be cured, it will indeed be a huge worry to get married in the future.
How can I get married and have children if I feel nauseated and vomited even if I touch my fingers
Forget it, these are all things for the future. The top priority is to solve the immediate trouble first.
Fortunately, he only verbally agreed to the Ling family that day and did not publicize the matter. No one in the Ling family knew about it yet. Find an opportunity to explain the reason to Ling in private and terminate the oral engagement.
Mrs. Ling thought for a moment and said, "I will make it clear to your aunt. You don't have to worry."
Ling Jingshu's crying gradually stopped, and she said with red eyes: "Grandma, my potential cousin is still young, and he is at his most stubborn and stubborn. If he knows that this marriage is not going to work, I'm afraid he will make a fuss. Then there will be trouble. Everyone knows that both the Lu family and the Ling family are not good-looking. It will also hurt the relationship between our two families."
"It's better to coax him with good words and delay the matter. When A Xiao and I go to the capital together, he won't be able to see me, and the obsession in his heart will gradually fade away. After a while, my aunt led him He will go back to Jizhou and tell him the truth. By then, he will have nothing to do even if he wants to make trouble."
Mrs. Ling thought about it and thought it was a good idea. It's both tactful and won't hurt each other's feelings.
"Okay, it's up to you." Old Mrs. Ling relaxed her brows and said with a smile: "You girl, after being ill for a while, you have become smarter and smarter than before. You also think about problems much more thoughtfully than before."
Ling Jingshu wiped her tears with her sleeves and responded obediently: "My granddaughter can always learn a thing or two from watching her grandmother speak and act."
This flattery was a bit explicit, and it was very pleasant to Old Madam Ling's ears. Thinking again that Ling Jingshu was in the prime of her youth, but suffered from such a strange disease that was not curable, she felt even more pity in her heart: "When you go out and seek medical advice, you have to bring more with you. Money for self-defense. In the past few days, please order people to pack your luggage secretly. Come to grandma before leaving, and grandma will prepare everything for you."
Ling Jingshu thanked you with tears in her eyes: "Grandma, you are so kind to me. I really don't know what to say."
"Silly girl, isn't it too strange to tell grandma these things?" Old Mrs. Ling said with a smile: "Grandma only hopes that you and A Xiao will be well. This time I go to the capital, if A Xiao's eyes can be cured, Your strange disease can also be cured, and grandma will have no regrets.”
"As for the marriage..." Old Mrs. Ling paused, and then continued: "You are still young, so you are not in a hurry to talk about marriage. When you recover from your illness and return to Dingzhou, I will arrange it for you." You choose a good marriage."
Old Mrs. Ling still doesn't know that she left Dingzhou this time and has no intention of coming back.
Ling Jingshu responded softly.
The two grandmothers chatted some more, and then Ling Jingshu resigned.
... ...
After spending so much effort, convincing Fifth Master Ling and Mrs. Ling, and arranging everything properly, the tight strings in Ling Jingshu's mind finally relaxed a little.
Lu Qian's temper was so paranoid that it was useless to refuse him head-on. Just leaving like this may not be a permanent solution. However, one can always overcome the current difficulty first.
Ling Jingshu didn't mention any of these things in front of Ling Xiao: "...A Xiao, I have asked my father and grandmother for permission today. They have agreed that I will accompany you to the capital for treatment."
Ling Xiao was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Both father and grandmother agree?"
"Well, father will tell the uncle personally that we will go to the capital with them. Grandma also said that she will prepare more money for us to defend ourselves." Ling Jingshu held Ling Xiao's hand and said softly: "But, in Before we leave, we have to keep this news a secret. Except for my father, grandmother, you and me, no one else knows."
Ling Xiao was stunned: "Can't my mother and eldest brother also tell me?"
A coldness flashed in Ling Jingshu's eyes, and her voice lowered: "You can't say it, especially you can't let your mother know. She will never be happy to see you heal your eyes and return to normal. You have to prevent her from getting in the way."
Ling Xiao was stunned again, and felt a chill in his heart: "Ah Shu, why did you suddenly say that? Although my mother is a little cold towards the two of us, she won't hurt me!"
Ling Jingshu didn't answer and asked instead: "Axiao, do you really think that your blindness from wrestling was just an accident?"
Ling Xiao's whole body trembled, and his beautiful and misty eyes were full of shock: "Ah Shu... you mean, my mother secretly ordered someone to kill me back then? But she had been raising her fetus in the yard back then. Aunt Xia was in charge of the affairs in the yard, and the servants who served me were also chosen by Aunt Xia. Later, I fell into a coma and couldn't see when I woke up. She was more anxious than anyone else. I invited famous doctors everywhere to diagnose and treat me... . ..”
Ling Jingshu interrupted Ling Xiao calmly: "It is precisely because she is so good at showing off that no one has ever suspected her."
You are so sure. Did you find some evidence
The words had already reached his lips, and Ling Xiao swallowed them back silently.
In terms of closeness and distance, it is difficult for Li to impress Ling Jingshu. Ling Jingshu was only thinking about him. If he kept asking questions, wouldn't it hurt Ling Jingshu's heart
Ling Jingshu seemed to have read through Ling Xiao's thoughts and softened her voice and said: "This is just my guess. I really have no evidence to prove that she was secretly responsible for what happened back then. However, it is not a bad thing to be more careful. Keep it a secret for a few days. , it won’t be too late to let her know before we leave.”
By that time, even if Li was still angry, she would have no time to do anything.
