Ling Qingwan applied medicine to Ling Xiao while listening to him talk. The medicine was sprinkled on the bloody wound, and even if Ling Qingwan was gentle, it must have hurt a lot. But Ling Xiao didn't even scream, and was still telling Ling Qingwan about He An's miserable appearance.
Ling Qingwan knew clearly that Ling Xiao didn't want her to worry about him, so he tried all kinds of ways to make her happy.
"To be honest, He An really deserves to be beaten. If I knew kung fu, I would have beaten him too." Ling Qingwan said with a smile.
It has come to this point. Scolding Ling Xiao again will only make Ling Xiao feel sad. It is better to go along with him and let him know that he has done something to make Ling Qingwan happy.
"That kid He An is no good at all. Even though he is young and not much different from you, he is a well-known little bully in Tokyo City." Ling Xiao curled his lips and showed great contempt for He An when he mentioned him.
"By the way, Wanwan, please don't tell anyone else about the fact that I took off my clothes in front of you today, especially don't tell An Yi..."
"Why can't An Yi know?" Ling Qingwan grasped the key point immediately. She looked at Ling Xiao with interest, smiling.
"I told you not to tell anyone else, including An Yi." Ling Xiao hurriedly explained.
"Then why did you mention An Yi alone?" Ling Qingwan's smile widened. She was going to get to the bottom of this matter today, just in time to see if her brother's iron tree had blossomed secretly.
"Because... because An Yi talks the most. If she knew, she would definitely laugh at me and spread it everywhere." Ling Xiao said to Ling Qingwan, with a hint of panic in his words.
Ling Qingwan couldn't help laughing.
If she wanted to ask, she would probably make Ling Xiao speechless. Everyone knew that she and Ling Xiao were siblings, and she was just helping to apply medicine. No matter how ignorant An Yi was, she would not laugh at Ling Xiao for such a thing. Ling Xiao's explanation was full of loopholes, which could only mean that he was lying.
As for why Ling Xiao specifically mentioned An Yi and why he lied when she asked, Ling Qingwan already knew it.
She had always thought that An Yi would like a man like Tan Hongbo, until she knew about Xiang Si Ning's existence. Thinking about it carefully, Ling Qingwan felt that An Yi was a little strange towards Ling Xiao. Thinking about it in her previous life, Ling Xiao was old enough to get married, but he refused to marry. At that time, he must have had someone in his heart.
Anyway, Ling Xiao and An Yi are almost certain.
"Wanwan, what are you thinking about?" Ling Qingwan was slow to speak. Ling Xiao felt a little chilly on his back and couldn't help asking.
"I was thinking about how I should explain to my grandfather what happened today when I get to him later." Ling Qingwan changed the topic.
It was time to think about this problem. According to Shen Chengzhou's temper, he had always disliked Ling Feng, and now that Ling Feng had bullied his two most precious grandchildren, he would definitely jump up in anger.
"But Nanny Pu probably didn't have the time to tell grandpa what exactly happened. We will just have to deal with it improvisationally later." Ling Qingwan said to Ling Xiao.
The two hit it off and decided not to tell Shen Chengzhou about this for the time being.
But the two of them said they would not tell, which did not mean that Shen Chengzhou could not see it. In fact, Shen Chengzhou found something wrong the first time he saw Ling Xiao.
"I heard from Nanny Pu that something happened to you two, but Ling Feng and the old lady are making things difficult for you again?" Shen Chengzhou asked with concern.
"No, grandpa, it's because I often go out recently. My father thinks it's not proper for me to run out every few days since I'm not married yet, so he locked me up at home. I couldn't stand it, so I asked Nanny Pu to tell you, and I sneaked out to get some fresh air under the pretext of coming to see you." Ling Qingwan found an excuse to evade Shen Chengzhou.
Shen Chengzhou pulled Ling Xiao in and put his hand on his back. Ling Xiao and Ling Qingwan frowned at the same time.
"You still say it's okay!" Shen Chengzhou's voice was clear, loud and powerful.
Ling Xiao and Ling Qingwan were startled and didn't know what to do.
"I have seen many wounded soldiers in my life, and I have also been injured a lot. Xiao'er is in trouble, and I can tell at a glance." Shen Chengzhou glanced at the two helplessly and sat down on the chair. "You two still want to deceive me? It's impossible!"
"Grandfather, we didn't mean it..." Ling Xiao said cautiously.
After saying that, he turned his head and met Ling Qingwan's eyes.
"Yes, grandpa, we didn't want to hide it from you because we were afraid that you would worry." Ling Qingwan echoed.
The two of them were sincere in their attitudes and looked as well-behaved as possible.
How could Shen Chengzhou bear to be angry with both of them? He was angry, but he was angry with Ling Feng.
"I haven't yet settled the score with Ling Feng for the mess he had with his mistress and the fact that she had a child. Now he actually dares to bully my grandson." As he said that, Shen Chengzhou stood up, rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the Ling Mansion.
Ling Qingwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly stopped Shen Chengzhou.
"Brother, you beat up Uncle He in public. No matter how you look at it, you are in the wrong. It is reasonable for father to teach you a lesson. If you go, you will not be in the right and you might get lectured by Ling Feng instead. And if it gets out, outsiders will say that you have a long hand and have even reached out to the Ling Mansion. It will give others a handle for nothing."
Shen Chengzhou and Ling Xiao, the grandfather and grandson, are cut from the same cloth. They both like to fight and fight at every turn. Wei Xun and Tan Hongbo are the same. When they encounter a conflict, they just fight. No wonder the three of them have such a good relationship. Among them, Ling Qingwan is the one who thinks the most.
After hearing what Ling Qingwan said, Shen Chengzhou thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he had to give up.
The Ministry of Justice had just invited him to drink tea, so Shen Chengzhou was more cautious now, afraid of going in again. It wasn't that he couldn't stand this grievance, after all, he was a general guarding the country, and Bai Xu would not dare to neglect him no matter what, at most he would lock him up and not let him go out. What Shen Chengzhou was most afraid of was to implicate Ling Qingwan and Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao took medicine at the General's Mansion and returned to the Ling Mansion a day later. This matter was not reported to Ling Shenshi to avoid her worrying.
Ling Qingwan continued to follow Ye Yun's whereabouts. On the surface, she ate and slept all day, looking very leisurely. In fact, she was preoccupied with serious matters. She hadn't gone out for several days until the palace sent a letter inviting her to dinner at Zuixiaolou.
Ling Qingwan went there. She wanted to see what Wei Xun was going to do.
At the gate of Zuixiaolou, a carriage stopped and a figure leaned out from inside. Ling Qingwan was beautiful and tender, and could not help but attract attention. Almost everyone present was attracted by her.
Ling Qingwan entered Zuixiao Tower in full view of everyone.
Second floor.
"Ms. Ling, this way."
The servant moved aside, pushed the door open, and made way for Ling Qingwan to enter the private room.
"You've been waiting for a long time." Ling Qingwan glanced at the teacup in front of Wei Xun. He had already drunk half of it, and there was no steam coming out of it. Ling Qingwan estimated that Wei Xun had been waiting here for a while.
