As he spoke, Ling Xiao had already clenched his hands into fists.
As they were good friends who grew up together, Ling Xiao was naturally very familiar with Wei Xun's temperament. If Ling Qingwan really married Wei Xun, Ling Xiao was afraid that his sister would be bullied.
It is impossible for Wei Xun to be bullied in this world.
"Take good care of her. I'll go to the study first. When she wakes up, you can send her back." Wei Xun patted Ling Xiao's shoulder, gave him some instructions, and then left the yard.
Ling Qingwan was stubborn and had been brooding over the fact that he had lied to her these days. If Ling Qingwan woke up and saw him first, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. Wei Xun was relieved after confirming that Ling Qingwan was fine.
Ling Xiao stayed with Ling Qingwan until nearly three hours later when Ling Qingwan finally woke up.
When the two returned to the mansion, it was already getting dark. Ling Qingwan was still a little dizzy, so she opened the curtains and let in the cool wind for a while before she felt better.
"Wan Wan, I'm sorry for you. A lot of things happened these days, and you had to handle them all. I'm incompetent, and not only did I fail to help, I only made things worse."
Ling Xiao held it in for a long time, feeling uncomfortable, and couldn't help but say it out loud.
Seeing Ling Xiao's red cheeks and head down, like a child who had done something wrong, Ling Qingwan thought it was cute, but also a little sad.
"A lot of things have happened these days, and you've been busy too, as has my grandfather. I can't solve it alone, and the three of us are indispensable." Ling Qingwan raised the corners of her mouth and chuckled.
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion for more than half a year, Ling Qingwan's body has become much more delicate. At this moment, her face was pale and she looked very tired. But even so, Ling Qingwan still patiently comforted Ling Xiao.
It's not like she doesn't understand Ling Xiao. If this matter is not explained in time, Ling Xiao will always feel guilty towards her.
Ling Qingwan works so hard not to put pressure on the people around her.
"We are siblings, not strangers. If something goes wrong, we should shoulder it together. This is what we should do. You don't have to be so cautious in front of me, and you don't have to feel ashamed of me."
After hearing Ling Qingwan's words, Ling Xiao felt much better. However, he secretly admired Ling Qingwan a little more.
In the evening, Mingyue got the news. Tan Hongbo went to the palace in a rage. When he came out, he covered the wound at the corner of his mouth, and his face was bruised. It seemed that he had a fight with Wei Xun.
"Wei Xun has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. My brother can't get any better in a fight with him, let alone my second brother." Although it was not genuine, Ling Qingwan couldn't help laughing.
Ling Qingwan had heard about the relationship between Wei Xun, Ling Xiao and Tan Hongbo in her previous life. The three of them could not be separated. Ling Xiao and Wei Xun had fought several times, but they would get together again every two days. Therefore, Ling Qingwan was not too worried about what happened during the day. She was just afraid that Tan Hongbo and she would have a rift because of this.
"I think Young Master Tan misunderstood the Seventh Prince because of Second Miss Tan's injury. What if..." Mingyue hesitated and stopped talking halfway.
Mingyue knew very well that Ling Qingwan had only been on good terms with those few people since she returned to Beijing, and she could count them on five fingers. If she had a conflict with Tan Hongbo, Ling Qingwan would definitely not feel good.
She is so sentimental...
"It's not enough to just sit here and think about this matter. We have to wait until we meet another day to talk it out with him." Ling Qingwan understood Mingyue's meaning. "In two days, I will go to the Taifu Mansion in two days and visit Miss Tan Er."
In addition to Tan Hongbo, there are also some things between her and Tan Jiao that need to be clarified.
The doctor told Ling Qingwan not to work hard these days, and Ling Xiao kept it in mind and almost never let her go out. But he also knew that staying in the mansion was boring, so he would take time out every day to take Ling Qingwan out for fun. Only when he saw it with his own eyes, Ling Xiao would feel at ease.
Not only that, Ling Xiao also set up a special kitchen and invited people from Zuixiaolou to prepare nutritious food for Ling Qingwan in different ways every day.
Ling Qingwan knew her own body very well. Being taken care of by Ling Xiao, she was happy and at ease. After a leisurely three or five days, the Ling Mansion received two invitations, one for Ling Chuchu and one for Iris Pavilion.
"Xiang Sining?" Ling Qingwan looked at the signature on the invitation and felt vaguely familiar.
Suddenly, she thought of it. Ling Qingwan had met Xiang Si Ning when the Queen held a flower-viewing banquet in the palace. She remembered it so clearly because she noticed that Tan Hongbo looked at Si Ning several times. Ling Qingwan was naturally perceptive and always felt that there was something abnormal between the two of them.
If Ling Qingwan guessed correctly, Tan Hongbo probably had a crush on Xiang Sining. But as a famous playboy in Tokyo, it was not surprising that he had a crush on someone. I'm afraid Xiang Sining didn't take it seriously.
In the evening, Ling Qingwan confirmed her thoughts from Ling Xiao.
"Speaking of which, Miss Xiang has a gentle temperament, is well-educated and well-mannered, and is truly a breath of fresh air among the noble ladies in the capital." Having been accustomed to seeing people like Ling Chuchu, Ling Xiao naturally felt that Xiang Sining was rare.
But she is kindhearted and worthy of praise wherever she goes. Although Ling Qingwan doesn't know Xiang Sining, she must be a good girl since she has been obsessed with Tan Hongbo for many years.
"She has a gentle personality, is well-educated and sensible. No matter how you look at it, she doesn't seem to be a good match for my second brother!" Ling Qingwan laughed.
She had always thought that if Tan Hongbo really wanted to find someone, it would be a girl as fun as him. Well... An Yi was suitable.
"What can we do? Tan Hongbo has seen so many girls, but he doesn't like any of them. But he just likes the young lady from the Xiang family. She's pretty in every way. Maybe this is love." Ling Xiao shook his head and talked about love affairs with great eloquence.
"I see that you know so much, so tell me, do you have a girl you like?" Ling Qingwan looked curious and leaned over to look at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao almost choked when he was halfway through drinking his tea, and he coughed several times.
"No, it's still early." Ling Xiao pretended to be calm and responded with his neck straight.
Ling Qingwan saw that his face was flushed red, shook her head, and smiled without saying anything.
Is it too early? Actually, it’s not too early. But if you can’t find someone you really like, it’s okay to live alone for the rest of your life. It’s better than two people torturing each other.
Realizing that she was thinking about the bad things that happened with Song Zhiqing in her previous life, Ling Qingwan quickly pulled her thoughts back.
Xiang Sining's coming-of-age ceremony was held in the Shangshu Mansion, and many dignitaries in the capital were invited to attend.
Ling Qingwan and Ling Chuchu's carriages stopped at the gate of Shangshu Mansion at the same time. Ling Chuchu got off the carriage first, ignored Ling Qingwan, and went straight into the gate.
"I think the eldest daughter is trying to steal the limelight. It's obviously the coming-of-age ceremony for Miss Xiang, but she wants to wear the best clothes in her wardrobe. Miss, do you see that rose gold jade hairpin on her head? It was given to her by the old lady. She usually doesn't want to wear it. Today the sun is rising from the west."
