But it's useless for them to say it. As long as Ling Xiao can't remember the past, he will never be able to return to his previous state.
The next day, Ling Xiao became even more aggressive and directly clamored to ride in a carriage with Liu'er.
"Miss, otherwise I will bring the young master back." Luoluo suggested.
Ling Qingwan glanced at the carriage behind, smiled helplessly, and shook her head.
"By the way, my brother and Liu'er are sitting together, but what about Hu Zi? Where is he?" Ling Qingwan thought of Hu Zi.
Ling Xiao was always clinging to Liu Er, and seeing the two of them being so close, Hu Zi must be feeling very uncomfortable, Ling Qing Wan thought.
"Hu Zi and Commander Song are together. Look." Luoluo pointed to a place not far away.
Ling Qingwan looked over and saw Hu Zi carrying the luggage and coming out of the back door of the post station with Song Tian.
That was fine. Ling Qingwan felt relieved and bent down to get on the carriage.
Shangjing was a prosperous city. As soon as the carriage entered the city gate, the sounds of vendors hawking their wares could be heard all around, mixed with the laughter and chatter of the people, making it very lively.
Liu'er was so curious that she opened the curtain and looked out.
Until the carriage stopped at the gate of the general's mansion, Liu'er got off the carriage. Seeing such a majestic and solemn gate, her legs went weak for a moment and she almost fell to the ground.
"Awan, is this your previous home?" Liu'er excitedly shook Ling Xiao's arm.
"I don't know either." Ling Xiao raised his head and glanced at the plaque on the door. The three characters "General's Mansion" were so powerful that they made his eyes hurt.
Ling Xiao had never expected that his family background would be so impressive.
"Never mind, this will be your home in the future anyway." Unable to remember, Ling Xiao simply stopped thinking about it. He smiled at Liu'er, his eyes full of doting.
Ling Qingwan heard the entire conversation between the two.
Knowing that Ling Xiao and Ling Qingwan were coming back today, Nanny Pu had been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as she saw the carriage stop, she hurried to greet Ling Qingwan.
"Miss!" Madam Park looked Ling Qingwan up and down, tears welling up in her eyes. "You've lost weight again."
Ling Qingwan had already lost a lot of weight due to overwork, and after staying in Suiyang for a while, she became even thinner. She was in worse shape than when she first returned to the capital.
"The food outside is no match for the food at home. I'll gain weight in a few days." Ling Qingwan smiled gently.
After not seeing each other for a month or two, Ling Qingwan also missed Madam Pu a little. The two stood there and exchanged greetings for a long time.
Fortunately, Ling Shenshi was able to get away with it, and she was only suspicious so far. Seeing Ling Qingwan, she could also feel at ease. Shen Chengzhou and Nanny Park had both read the letter sent by Wei Xun and knew Ling Xiao's current situation. Ling Qingwan didn't need to explain any more.
In order to help Ling Xiao recover his memory faster, Shen Chengzhou took him to the martial arts training ground every day. Ling Qingwan had a rare chance to rest, so she took two or three days off. During these two or three days, she spent most of her time with Ling Shenshi.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and Ling Xiao still couldn't remember anything about the past.
Ling Qingwan couldn't help but start to worry again.
"Is there really no other way to restore his memory except to wait?"
Ling Qingwan invited a famous doctor in the capital and secretly asked him if he had any ideas to help Ling Xiao.
Otherwise, if we just wait like this, we don’t know how long we will have to wait. One month, two months is fine, but what if it takes one year, two years, or ten years…
Ling Qingwan didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"There's really no other way." The doctor thought for a moment, and finally shook his head. "I wonder if anyone around the young lady has amnesia? How about I go and see it myself, diagnose it, and then make a decision?"
"No need, I'm just a servant." Ling Qingwan lowered her eyes and politely declined the doctor.
The prince had lost his memory, and if the news got out, it would definitely cause a sensation. At this critical juncture, Ling Qingwan didn't want to cause more trouble for herself and the general's mansion.
After seeing the doctor off, Ling Qingwan fell into deep thought.
These days, Tan Hongbo also came over. After trying all the ideas, Ling Xiao just couldn't remember. He almost got into a fight with Tan Hongbo. Shen Chengzhou trained him every day, but it didn't work at all.
"Miss." Qiaoer poured a cup of tea and placed it on the table.
Mingyue and the others had already told her about Ling Xiao. The girls were of similar age and served Ling Qingwan, so they became familiar with each other without realizing it.
Now they had another topic to talk about, which was to complain about Liu'er. Not only Mingyue and Hongshang and Luluo, but even the usually good-tempered Qiao'er didn't like Liu'er.
"I feel that General Shen has been training the young master all day, but the young master just can't remember. Liu'er is actually messing around." Qiao'er couldn't help but tell Ling Qingwan what she was thinking.
"You didn't see that Liu'er now follows the young master to the martial arts arena every day, staying there all day, and showing her courtesy all the time. It seems that she has nothing else to do except sticking to the young master. Hu Zi is a good person, working with Commander Song all day, and he is also honest. He is much better than Liu'er."
Speaking of Liu'er, Qiao'er just had a lot of anger to vent.
"Liu'er has done my brother a favor, and it was I who asked her to come to the capital. She can't be blamed for this." Ling Qingwan said softly.
Having said that, Ling Qingwan took note of it in her heart.
Qiao'er and Mingyue are not the kind of people who like to gossip behind others' backs. There is no smoke without fire. I think there is a reason why they hate Liu'er.
Prejudice is secondary. What Liu'er did herself was also inappropriate.
I am afraid that the flowers are so beautiful that they dazzle my eyes. Liu Er has just arrived in Beijing and is easily attracted by the prosperity and wealth in front of her. It is normal for her to be confused.
Ling Qingwan prayed silently that the truth would not be as she imagined.
But soon, troubles began to arise.
After Ling Xiao got familiar with Shangjing, he often took Liu'er out to play. Shangjing was not small, nor was it big. Ling Xiao grew up in Shangjing, so he could meet someone who knew him at every turn. Gradually, rumors about Ling Xiao and Liu'er began to spread in the city.
It’s just that Ling Xiao went out and brought back a wife.
If An Yi hadn't been unable to contain herself and rushed to the general's mansion, Ling Qingwan would not have known about this matter.
"You mean, Ling Xiao has lost his memory? That girl named Liu'er is Ling Xiao's savior?" An Yi was shocked after hearing the whole story.
"Yes." Ling Qingwan nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me such a big thing earlier?" An Yi was very worried.
"I don't understand state affairs, I only know that my brother is the crown prince. What if the news of his amnesia gets out and becomes a big deal, posing a danger to my grandfather and my brother? What should I do?"
An Yi doesn't need to think so much, but Ling Qingwan doesn't. Ling Qingwan has to be careful with every step she takes, because every step she takes is related to everyone around her.
"I understand." After hearing Ling Qingwan's words, An Yi finally understood her good intentions.
When her anxiety passed, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Ling Qingwan.
"What does Liu'er mean by that? She knows this is not good for Ling Xiao, but she still drags him out every day."
