That's right!
This dagger does belong to Ling Jingshu.
When the gangsters forced her to leave, she put the dagger against her neck. But... Why is this dagger in the gangster's chest
Ling Ji's mind was in confusion, and he stared at the blood-stained dagger as if he had seen a ghost.
Wang Tong looked at Ling Ji's dumbfounded look, tugged the corner of his lips and said: "You heard it right, and you didn't think it wrong either. This gang leader died in the hands of the kind, delicate and bloodless Miss Ling Jiu. What happened just now It's critical. The leader of the gangster who held her hostage has been injured. If he catches her again, he may catch Miss Lingjiu on her back before she dies. Miss Lingjiu is quite decisive and rushes to kill him first."
After a pause, he said: "This kind of thing should not be publicized, otherwise it will damage Miss Lingjiu's reputation. I will tell the East Palace guards to keep it secret. As for the guards of your house and the boatmen on the ship, the young master has to come forward. ”
With that said, he put the dagger into Ling Ji's hand.
Ling Ji lowered his head and looked at the dagger, feeling heavy in his hand and even heavier in his heart.
If it wasn't for the sake of saving everyone's lives, Ling Jingshu wouldn't have stepped forward resolutely. Even though he knew that the road ahead was dangerous, he still took the initiative to leave with the gangsters.
If Ling Jingshu really had a problem, how could the Ling parents have the face to return to the Ling family's old house, and how could they have the face to face everyone in the fifth room
Ling Jingshu was forced to kill someone. It's really admirable that such a weak woman can be so smart and decisive. This made him, a dignified man of seven feet, even more ashamed.
This kind of thing must not be spread!
Once word spreads, not only will the Ling family's face be damaged, but Ling Jingshu will also become an alien in the eyes of others...
Ling Ji quickly made up his mind, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Commander Wang, for reminding me. I know what to do."
... ...
"Dad, the eldest brother and Ah Xiao have gone to the deck of the boat, and there is no more fighting outside. Are we safe?" Ling Jingyan, who had been frightened and crying for a long time, her voice was hoarse, and she squeezed out a few trembling words. sentence.
Uncle Ling listened for a while and said uncertainly: "There is indeed nothing unusual happening outside. All those gangsters should have been beheaded."
Mrs. Sun's voice was also hoarse: "Come, please light the candlestick first."
The maids who were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground finally reacted, struggled to stand up, and groped to light the candlestick.
There was finally light in the cabin.
Jiang's expression suddenly changed, and she said tremblingly: "There are footsteps outside."
Everyone's expressions changed.
The footsteps were not heavy and they arrived outside the door very quickly. The door was pushed open with a squeak.
Ling Jingyan had already closed her eyes and screamed. Uncle Ling and Mrs. Sun's faces turned pale.
"Don't be afraid, it's me and Ah Xiao." Those who appeared at the door were indeed Ling Jingshu and her brother. Ling Jingshu's voice was a little tired.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
Ling Jingyan, who was still screaming, immediately stopped. She got the strength from nowhere, quickly got up and rushed over, hugged Ling Jingshu and started crying: "Cousin Shu, fortunately you came back safely. Just now. When you followed the gangsters away, I was so scared that I didn’t dare to say anything to ask you to stay... I’m sorry... "
Uncle Ling and Mrs. Sun both felt guilty. They looked at each other and silently turned their heads to the side.
Just now they watched Ling Jingshu follow the gangsters away, and no one dared to say a word. Now that I think about it, I was too cowardly and timid...
"Cousin Yan, you don't have to blame yourself."
Ling Jingshu's soft and calm voice reached everyone's ears: "In that situation, it was lucky to be able to save everyone's lives. Besides, they came for me. If I didn't take the initiative to follow them , and they will never let me go."
"Uncle and aunt stayed silent. They must have been thinking about preserving their strength and secretly waiting for an opportunity to rescue me. How could I not know about all this painstaking effort."
Uncle Ling and Mrs. Sun's faces felt a little hot, knowing that this was Ling Jingshu's thoughtful excuse to excuse them...
What a good girl who is reasonable and considerate!
Uncle Ling cleared his throat and said, "Ah Shu, thank you for your hard work this time. You must have been quite frightened. Come in and talk quickly."
"Yes, Ah Shu, come in quickly." Mrs. Sun also changed her words and was very friendly.
Ling Jingshu's voice was a little bitter: "I have a lot of blood splattered on my body, I'm afraid it will scare you. I'll go back and change into clean clothes first, and then come here to talk."
It wasn't until this moment that Ling Jingyan smelled the bloody smell on Ling Jingshu's body.
Normally, Ling Jingyan would have been so frightened that her legs would become weak.
However, I have experienced so many dangers today. At this time, everyone is safe and sound, which is a blessing to heaven. Who cares about such details
Ling Jingyan dragged Ling Jingshu into the house and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of with some blood stains, as long as everyone is safe."
That's what it says. Under the light, Ling Jingyan was shocked when she saw the mottled blood stains on Ling Jingshu's dress, and blurted out: "Ah Shu, where did you get so much blood stains on your body?"
It's like the blood stained by killing someone up close...
Ling Jingyan was startled by the thought that flashed through her mind. She quickly put the terrible thought away and found a reasonable explanation self-righteously: "I know. The people who came to rescue must have killed the person who held you hostage. Gangster, you are too close, blood is splattered on you."
Ling Jingshu remained silent and allowed Ling Jingyan and others to misunderstand.
Yes, no one would have thought that she killed the gangster with her own hands!
Even she couldn't imagine that she would have the courage to kill someone.
At such a critical moment, the body's reaction was even faster than the brain's.
The feeling of killing is not wonderful, even a little disgusting. However, she has no regrets. If it happened again, she would do the same thing.
The only thing that made her anxious was that there were too many people present. This matter cannot be concealed at all. The Ling family will know the truth soon... I'm afraid they will regard her as an alien.
If it is publicized in the future, it will be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the capital.
This is Ling Jingshu's real worry.
Jiang opened her mouth and asked: "Ah Shu, who saved us today?"
Ling Jingshu's mind flashed through the handsome and indifferent face of the young man in black clothes: "It's the emperor's grandson who led the East Palace guards to come to the rescue."
The emperor's grandson
Mrs. Jiang was startled at first, and then quickly breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out to be His Highness the Grand Sun."
According to blood relationship, she and the emperor's grandson are cousins who have not been out of the fifth server. However, since the other party has a distinguished status, she would not just call him cousin casually.
Uncle Ling perked up and said immediately: "You all go back to your room, freshen up and change clothes. When daybreak, I will take you to thank you." (To be continued)
