Qiaoyun was also stunned.
She did not expect that the emperor's grandson would give her deed of betrayal to Ling Jingshu.
Of course she knew what this meant.
Since the emperor's grandson has sent the deed of betrayal, he will definitely not take it back. Her responsibilities as a secret guard can be completely relieved. From today on, she is the maid next to Ling Jingshu.
No more dilemmas, no more secret tangles. Just serve the good lady wholeheartedly.
Qiao Yun reacted quickly, knelt down respectfully, and said categorically: "I am willing to stay with the lady. From now on, I will forget everything in the past and be loyal to the lady."
Ling Jingshu looked at Qiao Yun steadily and asked slowly: "Do you really think so? When I get married, I will live a peaceful life as a husband and a child. If you follow me, you can only be an ordinary housemaid. You can't use all your skills at all. When you think about today's choice in the future, won't you regret it?"
Qiaoyun's expression has calmed down: "I have thought about it clearly and will never regret it in the future."
After a pause, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "If you had a choice, who wouldn't want to live a peaceful and comfortable life. This slave was an orphan. If he hadn't been rescued by the secret guard camp and taught martial arts, he wouldn't be alive today. Master Whatever you are told, I will do it. This is your duty, and it is also the reason why I am alive today."
"To be honest with you, young lady, it is my greatest wish to be able to quit the secret guard camp and live a life of ordinary people. Now His Highness the Grand Sun is particularly gracious and allows me to follow you. I don't know how happy I am in my heart."
"I hope the lady will take this slave in!"
Qiaoyun kowtowed deeply.
Ling Jingshu stood up and walked to Qiaoyun, bent down to help Qiaoyun up, her expression was gentle, and her eyes were full of warmth: "Get up! You will stay by my side forever in the future, don't kneel down every now and then."
The lady accepted her.
Qiao Yun stood up smoothly, and the surprised smile that glowed from the inside out was definitely not fake.
Ling Jingshu was also completely relieved.
To be fair, Qiaoyun is thorough and careful in his work, bold and careful as well as martial arts. She is really indispensable by his side. But Qiaoyun's identity as a secret guard is really a bit of a pain in the ass. Bringing Qiaoyun to the Wei Mansion like this made her feel a little confused. If you want to send Qiao Yun away without a suitable reason, you will also anger the emperor's grandson.
The result now is unexpectedly satisfactory.
Ling Jingshu smiled at Qiaoyun: "Qiaoyun, I have an errand to give you now. You must complete it."
Qiaoyun responded without hesitation: "Please give me your orders, young lady! I will do my best."
Ling Jingshu first put Qiaoyun's deed of sale aside, then sorted out all the land deed banknotes and put them back into the box.
Qiaoyun vaguely guessed something.
Sure enough, Ling Jingshu put the box into Qiaoyun's hand and said calmly: "Return this box to His Highness the Grand Sun for me."
Qiaoyun's expression remained unchanged, but her voice became a little lower: "It's not that I don't obey the order of the young lady. It's just that I'm afraid I won't take back the things that His Highness has given me. Why don't the young lady accept your highness's kindness... "
"Send it back!"
Ling Jingshu interrupted Qiaoyun calmly.
Qiao Yun swallowed back all his words and said yes instead.
…
The next day, the box reappeared in front of the emperor's grandson.
Lu Cai did not dare to raise his head to look at the ugly face of the emperor's grandson, and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, Qiaoyun sent someone back. He also sent a message from Miss Ling back. He said that he was not rewarded for his merits, so he didn't dare to take it seriously. Your Highness is so loving."
The emperor's grandson was silent for a moment before opening the box. There was no shortage of banknotes for the land deed, but Qiaoyun's deed of sale was missing. Should he be glad that she didn't return everything after all
The emperor's grandson twitched the corners of his lips, and a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes.
He actually didn't mean anything else.
He just thought that she was about to get married and he couldn't do anything else for her, so he gave her these to keep for private defense. She refused to accept even such a small offer.
I'm afraid Wei Yan will be jealous!
Wei Yan, you are so virtuous and capable, but you have got her wholeheartedly!
In the future, even if he becomes a prince and conquers the world, even if he continues to marry and attracts many beauties, he still cannot make up for the pain of losing his beloved woman.
Lu Cai waited for a long time, but without waiting for the emperor's grandson's instructions, he quietly raised his head and took a look.
The emperor's grandson had a lonely and painful look on his face, which made Lu Cai also feel sad.
His Highness has such a noble status, but there are things in this world that he cannot ask for.
Lu Cai was eager to protect the Lord and became dissatisfied with Ling Jingshu's ruthless behavior. He boldly said: "Since Your Highness wants to send some cosmetic gifts, why bother to do it secretly? Just let people send them to the Ling Mansion openly. Miss Ling always You can’t send things back.”
After receiving the reward, Ling Mansion had no choice but to kneel down and thank him.
The emperor's grandson glanced at him indifferently: "Are you letting me use my power to bully others?"
Lu Cai: "..."
Lu Cai's face turned red instantly, and he knelt down to apologize: "It was my subordinate who made a mistake. Please atone for your sins, Your Highness."
There was no unnecessary expression on the face of the emperor's grandson: "Because you are loyal to me, let's forget it this time. I know what to do. You should retreat first!"
Lu Cai knelt down and thanked him for the kindness, and then retreated sarcastically. After walking outside the door, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.
Wang Tong, who was not far away, saw this and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He walked up to Lu Cai and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Did you make His Highness angry?"
The emperor's grandson did not have a good temper, but Wang Tong and Lu Cai were both useful people around him and rarely got scolded.
Lu Cai smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it. It's all my talk and saying things I shouldn't have said. His Highness didn't really punish me and just kicked me out. It's already a blessing."
Wang Tong's curiosity aroused and he couldn't help but get to the bottom of it.
Lu Cai hesitated for a moment before telling the whole story in a low voice.
After hearing this, Wang Tong rolled his eyes: "You are such a stick. You dare to talk about such things! You deserve to be scolded!"
you do not say! Lu Cai smiled bitterly to himself.
…
Ling Jingshu waited for two days, but before receiving any reaction from the emperor's grandson, her heart fell back to where it was before.
She would never want those makeup gifts from the emperor's grandson.
No reward for no merit.
She has been duly rewarded for what she did for the emperor's grandson. Lu An and Lu Ping are dead, and the Lu family will be exiled outside the customs in a few days. The relationship between the two of them can be regarded as clear.
What would Wei Yan think if he received such a generous makeup gift
Even if it wasn't directed at Wei Yan, she would never ask for it. If you want to cut off the emperor's grandson's thoughts, you must cut him off completely, leaving no room for it.
Call her cruel or callous.
This is the best outcome for them. (To be continued)
