Ling Qingwan could understand that An Yi hated Liu Er. She had always known that An Yi had a crush on Ling Xiao.
If this incident hadn't happened, she would have brought the two together when Ling Xiao came back. But plans couldn't keep up with changes, and let alone bringing Ling Xiao and An Yi together, he didn't even consider Ling Qingwan as a family member.
"Maybe my brother took her out." Ling Qingwan was still speaking for Liu'er.
She really didn't want to believe that the girl who was so innocent and simple when she first met had changed so much in just half a month after arriving in Beijing.
How can the character that has been developed over more than ten years be changed overnight
"It takes two to tango. If she doesn't want to go out, can Ling Xiao put a knife to her neck?" An Yi is not as good-tempered as Ling Qingwan. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. If she hadn't wanted to avoid causing trouble for Ling Qingwan, she would have wanted to stand up and scold Liu'er.
"She grew up in the village. It's normal that she doesn't understand things in the aristocratic circle. It's okay. I'll find time to remind her a few things." Ling Qingwan helped Liu'er explain.
"I hope she's as innocent as you think." An Yi muttered reluctantly. "But I still want to tell you that Liu'er must be careful. After all, Ling Xiao only trusts her now, and whatever she says or does will affect Ling Xiao's behavior."
It was rare for An Yi to speak so seriously, and Ling Qingwan was really reminded by her.
It has only been half a month and such bad rumors have already started to spread in the city. Who knows how much more trouble will arise in the future.
It seems that I really need to remind Liu'er.
After An Yi and Ling Qingwan said goodbye, they did not leave the general's mansion directly, but took a detour and went to the martial arts field.
Shen Chengzhou was handling affairs in the study, and Ling Xiao was the only one training in the martial arts field.
From a distance, An Yi saw Liu Er serving tea to Ling Xiao and wiping his sweat. An Yi was furious.
"Brother Lingxiao~"
A woman's coquettish voice reached their ears, and Ling Xiao and Liu'er looked at An Yi together.
When her eyes rested on An Yi, Liu'er's eyes lit up.
An Yi has a pretty face, is arrogant and ostentatious, and has a noble air about her. One can tell at a glance that she comes from a wealthy family.
"Who are you?" Even so, Ling Xiao didn't care much about An Yi.
While asking the question, Ling Xiao did not forget to take a half step back and move closer to Liu'er.
"I'm An Yi, your good friend since childhood. It doesn't matter if you forgot me, it's good that you know me now." An Yi introduced generously.
"Master, she is a princess." Qingfeng reminded quietly beside him.
Princess?!
Liu'er was shocked to learn An Yi's identity.
"My little girl Liu'er, I am here to see the princess!"
Liu Er knelt down hurriedly and saluted An Yi.
Although she didn't understand much, she had heard of these titles. The status of a princess was no different from that of a prince. Liu'er couldn't afford to offend her.
"Liu'er, why are you kneeling down?" Seeing Liu'er kneeling, Ling Xiao felt distressed and quickly pulled Liu'er up.
Liu'er looked at An Yi timidly and refused to get up.
"Get up." An Yi said softly.
Liu'er stood up and Ling Xiao wiped the dust off her body.
"It's okay, I just came to see you and then come to play with you later." Seeing that Ling Xiao had no interest in her, An Yi didn't get angry. After greeting him a few words, she turned around and left the martial arts arena.
The little maid didn't understand and asked An Yi what she meant in confusion.
"I just came here to see this girl named Liu'er face to face." An Yi snorted coldly. "As expected, she is not a good person."
"What should we do? Is the prince in danger? Should we tell Miss Ling?" The little maid looked worried.
"Wanwan is so smart, she sees things much more clearly than I do. Her biggest shortcoming is that she is soft-hearted. It's obvious that Liu'er is not a good person, I don't believe she didn't see it. But she always thought that Liu'er had saved Ling Xiao, so she kept enduring it. After enduring it over and over again, she still suffered."
An Yi felt very sorry for Ling Qingwan.
"I just deliberately let Liu'er know that Ling Xiao is not only the grandson of the general who guards the country, but also the prince of Dayue. He also has a friend who is a princess. If Liu'er has self-knowledge, she will know how to restrain herself. If not, she will definitely go even further and find a way to catch Ling Xiao. By then, Wanwan will see through Liu'er and she will get rid of Liu'er without our persuasion."
To put it bluntly, An Yi did this to test Liu'er.
If Liu'er was really so innocent and kind, no matter how many prominent people Ling Xiao knew, it would not matter to her.
Ever since An Yi and Ling Qingwan met, she had always seen Ling Qingwan worrying about big and small things, and usually she took care of herself more. This time, An Yi wanted to do something for Ling Qingwan.
When Ling Xiao came to Ling Qingwan's yard and yelled at her, Ling Qingwan was writing to refresh herself.
Hearing the noise outside, she stopped writing and looked towards the door.
"Qiao'er, go and take a look." Ling Qingwan ordered Qiao'er.
"Ling Qingwan, come out!"
"You don't dare to admit what you did, and hide in your room like a coward. What kind of ability is that!"
Ling Xiao roared, his voice was deafening.
"Young Master, please stop making noise." Song Tian came over and wanted to persuade Ling Xiao to stop, but Ling Xiao pushed him hard, pushing him several meters away.
He is the young master of the general's mansion. Without the order from Shen Chengzhou and Ling Qingwan, who would dare to touch Ling Xiao
"Ling Qingwan! If you don't come out I'll rush in!"
Hearing the quarrel outside, Qiao'er didn't dare to open the door. She stood at the door, turned around, looked at Ling Qingwan hesitantly, and waited for Ling Qingwan's decision.
Ling Qingwan stood up and asked Qiao'er to open the door.
"Miss… "
After Ling Qingwan came out, the servants around her saluted and lined up on Ling Qingwan's side.
"Sure enough, they are all your lackeys. They teamed up to bully Liu'er." Ling Xiao looked around and laughed sarcastically.
Ling Qingwan frowned tightly.
"When did I ever bully Liu'er?"
"You didn't bully Liu'er, so why would she go back to Taohua Village for no reason?" Ling Xiao asked Ling Qingwan confidently.
"She is originally from Taohua Village. She can go back if she wants. What does it have to do with you, young lady? What does it mean for you to yell at you, young lady?" Qiao'er couldn't help but speak up for Ling Qingwan.
"Ling Qingwan, when I first came to the capital, I made it clear to you that if I came, Liu'er had to come as well. But you pretended to be kind and listened to me, brought Liu'er here, and then after a while you tried every means to force her to go back. How can you be so scheming as a girl!"
Ling Xiao's words were already very cruel, especially coming from his mouth, which made Ling Qingwan feel extremely uncomfortable.
The people around wanted to speak up for Ling Qingwan, but Ling Qingwan walked down the stairs and came face to face with Ling Xiao.
"I'll say it again, I never forced her to leave." Ling Qingwan looked directly at Ling Xiao. Every word she spoke was powerful.
"Impossible. Liu'er has already told me that she thinks that having you as my sister is enough for me and that I don't need you anymore. How could she have such an idea if no one said anything to her?"
