Delivering news to the palace was not an easy task.
Fortunately, Ling Jingshu and Wei Yan had already made an agreement. If there is something urgent, have someone deliver the letter to Tai Hospital. Tiandong would go back to Tai Hospital every day so he could bring the letter to Wei Yan.
Ling Jingshu wrote the letter that day, and Wei Yan received it the next day.
Two days later, Wei Yan came to Ling Mansion.
Mrs. Ling was waiting anxiously. When she heard that Wei Yan was coming, she personally came out to greet him.
Wei Yan came to Ling Mansion for the first time today as his future uncle, so he couldn't wear half-worn civilian clothes, nor should he wear official uniforms. He specially wore an azure brocade robe, and tied his hair with a white jade crown. He had a handsome appearance and outstanding temperament. Once you stand there, your extraordinary magnanimity is already impressive.
"This must be Imperial Physician Wei!" Old Mrs. Ling said with a kind smile on her face: "Sure enough, he is a talented person with extraordinary bearing. I have opened my eyes today."
Wei Yan hurriedly smiled and held his hands in front of her, and respectfully saluted as a junior: "Wei Yan has met Mrs. Ling."
Old Mrs. Ling smiled affectionately and said, "In a few days, you should change your name to grandma. As a family, you don't have to be so reserved."
At the same time, he sent the maid to invite Ling Jingshu: "Go and ask the young master to come over. Just tell them that Imperial Doctor Wei is here and ask them to come out and see him."
The attitude couldn't be more enthusiastic.
Logically speaking, unmarried couples should not see each other again before getting married. Even if Wei Yan comes to visit, the Ling family should keep Ling Jingshu away.
Old Mrs. Ling ignored all this and just let Ling Jingshu come out to see Wei Yan. This also shows how eager he is to win over Wei Yan.
Wei Yan already knew the whole story from the letter, and felt quite disgusted with Mrs. Ling. Although he wanted to see Ling Jingshu very much, Mrs. Ling was too rude to do this.
If word spreads, Ling Jingshu's reputation will inevitably be damaged.
"Please wait a moment." Wei Yan stopped the maid who was delivering messages and running errands: "Just ask Ling Xiao to come over. Ah Shu doesn't have to come out."
The maid was startled and looked at Mrs. Ling reflexively.
Mrs. Ling was also stunned. But Wei Yan politely explained: "According to customs, it is unlucky for unmarried couples to meet before they get married. Please forgive me for being rude."
Mrs. Ling's face turned red. When Wei Yan said this, he was secretly accusing her, an elder, of being rude.
Fortunately, Mrs. Ling was getting older and her face was thicker and thicker. She blushed and said with a nonchalant smile: "It's because I didn't think well. That's all, let Ah Shu stay in the room." Wait, let Ah Xiao come over."
Wei Yan smiled and said no more.
…
This little episode quickly reached Ling Jingshu's ears.
Ling Jingshu couldn't help but smile, feeling a touch of sweetness in her heart.
Only when you truly care about someone can you think so carefully and thoughtfully. I would rather endure the pain of lovesickness than fall into the trap of others.
yes! They will get married soon, and will spend a lot of time together in the future. What's the harm in seeing each other more often and less often at this time
Bai Yu volunteered: "Miss, please go to the front hall and have a look. If anything happens, I can let the lady know in time."
Ling Jingshu smiled and hummed.
Bai Yu had been there for about half an hour before he turned back and reported: "My servant was outside and didn't hear the old lady talking to my uncle. However, I heard that the old lady specially left my uncle's lunch."
It seemed that Wei Yan had perfunctoryly dealt with Old Mrs. Ling according to her wishes.
Ling Jingshu raised the corners of her lips and casually ordered: "I'm hungry too, go and set the food!"
Bai Yu responded with a smile, and she and Qiao Yun were busy setting up the meal.
Although they couldn't meet each other, knowing that Wei Yan was not far away, Ling Jingshu was in a particularly happy mood. She ate one more bowl than usual before putting down her chopsticks.
…
At the same moment, Mrs. Li in another courtyard had a gloomy and twisted face, and her eyes were full of anger.
Ling Huan sat aside and whispered: "Mom, why don't you eat?"
"Eat, eat, eat! What else do you know besides eating all day long?" Li immediately yelled at Ling Huo.
Ling Huo burst into tears after being scolded, lowered his head and started crying.
Mrs. Li scolded her son and cried, feeling a little distressed. I want to coax a few words, but I really am not in the mood!
changed! Ever since Ling Huo injured his leg, everything has changed.
Ling Huo was originally quite smart and very popular with Master Ling. But now, Ling Huan has completely become a useless person and has no future.
While Fifth Master Ling was disappointed with his youngest son, he was much kinder to his eldest son, Ling Ting.
Li was unhappy and anxious. Ling Xiao cured his eyes, and Ling Jingshu was pointed out by Queen Wei to have such a good marriage. From now on, won't these five houses become the world owned by the Ling Xiao siblings
Therefore, as soon as she arrived in the capital, she couldn't wait to give Ling Jingshu a showdown!
Unexpectedly, his attempt to show off his power failed, and instead he caused embarrassment to himself. He was scolded severely by Mrs. Ling without saying a word, and was scolded again by Fifth Master Ling when he came back. Later, in order to plead for mercy and save the Ling family, Mrs. Ling agreed to the conditions proposed by Ling Jingshu.
When Mrs. Li found out, she was so stunned that she almost vomited blood.
Ling Jingshu asked for so much dowry. Originally, those were all the property that should be divided among the five families. Now that he has become her dowry, what will Ling Huo do in the future? What's even more annoying is that Mrs. Ling also promised to let Ling Xiao live in the Wei family. How will she control Ling Xiao in the future
Her stepmother was completely shameless.
Today Wei Yan came to visit, but Ling Wuye didn't even let her go out to greet the guests.
She is the serious mistress of the fifth house and Ling Jingshu's stepmother. Now that my face has been slapped one after another, how can I have the dignity to be in charge of the fifth house in the future
Ling Huo's cries could be heard from time to time in her ears. Li Shi barely suppressed the gloom and depression in her heart and coaxed Ling Huo for a while: "Okay, stop crying. Mom didn't mean to scold you, she was in a bad mood just now. .”
Ling Huo cried for a long time, and then her crying gradually stopped.
An hour later, Fifth Master Ling came back.
Mrs. Li hurriedly forced out a smile and greeted her: "Why are you back so soon? Could it be that my uncle has already left?"
Ling Wuye said humbly: "The emperor is ill and cannot be away from him for a moment. It is not easy for him to find time to come to Ling Mansion. He really has no time to stay longer."
In his tone, he was obviously very satisfied with Wei Yan as his son-in-law.
It's true that I can't find any dissatisfaction at all.
In terms of looks, character, and family background, Wei Yan is unique in everything. Although it is not as good as the emperor's grandson, it is still an excellent marriage.
Seeing Mr. Ling Wu's smiling face, Mrs. Li became more and more jealous and annoyed. She intentionally or unintentionally provoked a few words: "Does he really have the ability to save people? Don't brag and do nothing. We will suffer by then. Well, we lost gold and silver, but no one was rescued." (To be continued)
