You don't have to think too much to know that Liu'er only agreed obediently on the surface, but when she was in front of Ling Xiao, she changed her words.
Ling Qingwan was in deep thought and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Miss, in my opinion, Liu'er is a girl that cannot be kept. She has only been in the General's Mansion for less than a month, and she has already instigated the prince to scold you. Who knows how much trouble she will cause in the future. In short, as long as the prince still can't remember the past, Liu'er has the ability to instigate him."
Moreover, Ling Xiao is a very important person to Shen Chengzhou and Ling Qingwan. Liu Er and Ling Qingwan have no relationship, but she only needs Ling Xiao to listen to her, and Ling Qingwan can't do anything to her.
After going through all these things, it was hard for Nanny Park not to wonder what Liu'er would instigate Ling Xiao to do next.
"If she leaves, my brother will blame me even more." Ling Qingwan said indifferently.
It's not that she doesn't care, she's just used to it. Ever since she found Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao has never treated her as his own sister.
"What should we do? Now Hu Zi can't convince her, which proves that she is determined to take root in the capital. Liu'er is a little girl with no power and no backing. If she wants to make it in the capital, her only way now is to get close to the prince..."
The more Nanny Park spoke, the scarier it became, until she was so frightened that she dared not to continue.
"If she behaves honestly, I will help her if she wants to settle down in the capital because she is my brother's savior. If she is not honest and does evil things behind the scenes and does not use her brain to be on the right track, I will not be lenient with her." Ling Qingwan seemed calm, but there was an inexplicable sense of majesty in her words.
When Nanny Park heard Ling Qingwan's tone, she felt relieved.
My young lady is different from other girls. Although Ling Qingwan is kind, she is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied.
Gradually it was evening and the sky was getting dark. Seeing that it was getting late, Ling Qingwan asked Hong Chang to unblock Ling Xiao's acupuncture points.
Sure enough, as soon as Ling Xiao was able to move, he started yelling and cursing again.
Ling Qingwan heard what happened next from Hong Chang. When Ling Xiao woke up, Shen Chengzhou had just finished his dinner and without waiting for Ling Xiao to rest, Shen Chengzhou dragged him to the martial arts arena.
It's so late, and the lights are still on in the martial arts arena. It must be Shen Chengzhou training Ling Xiao.
"Miss, do you want to go and persuade General Shen?" Hong Shang asked cautiously.
Ling Qingwan felt so sorry for Ling Xiao. Seeing Ling Xiao still practicing so late at night, she must be reluctant to let him go.
"No need." Ling Qingwan rejected Hong Chang.
Hong Chang was surprised.
"I feel sorry for my brother, and my grandfather also feels sorry for me seeing me being scolded for no reason. He took my brother to the martial arts field to practice just to vent his anger, it's no big deal. My brother grew up with my grandfather, and my grandfather loves my brother more than anyone else. Even if it's a lesson, he won't be harsh." Ling Qingwan saw Hong Chang's thoughts and explained patiently.
"I understand!" Hong Chang was terrified and quickly bent down to respond.
At this time, Qiao'er also came back.
Seeing her depressed look, Ling Qingwan and Hong Shang looked at each other.
"What's wrong?" Ling Qingwan asked with concern.
"Hu Zi is really stubborn, no wonder he is named Hu Zi, he is not human at all. This servant and Commander Song have tried their best to persuade him, but Hu Zi just won't listen. No matter what we say, he wants to go back, and we can't stop him."
Qiao'er pouted and answered Ling Qingwan's words angrily.
Ling Qingwan smiled helplessly. Thinking that Qiao'er had been persuading him from the afternoon till the evening, she probably hadn't eaten yet, so she asked Hongshang to bring Qiao'er some food.
"I'm sorry, Miss." Qiao'er apologized to Ling Qingwan. "I just complained to you."
"What's the big deal?" Ling Qingwan chuckled.
"I just feel uncomfortable. It is clearly Liu'er's fault. It is Liu'er who should go back to Taohua Village. Why should Huzi leave?" Qiao'er still felt very aggrieved for Huzi.
"But not everyone in this world thinks that being associated with the General's Mansion is a good thing. Maybe Hu Zi's wish is to live in the village and live out his life in peace." Ling Qingwan spoke gently to Qiao'er.
Everyone has their own aspirations, which is why Ling Qingwan did not force Hu Zi.
Hu Zi is practical, capable, loyal, kind, and righteous. These qualities alone are already very rare. Ling Qingwan was reluctant to let Hu Zi leave.
“But…” Qiao’er was very emotional. She was about to reply to Ling Qingwan, but because she was in the wrong, she couldn’t find any words to refute.
She had no choice but to lower her head reluctantly.
"Qiao'er." Ling Qingwan had a faint smile on her face, and her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a gentle aura.
"I'm here." Qiao'er responded.
"Do you like Hu Zi?" Ling Qingwan asked straight to the point.
Qiao'er didn't expect Ling Qingwan to ask this. Her cheeks suddenly turned red and she retorted subconsciously.
"How could this maidservant like Hu Zi? Hu Zi and I have never spoken to each other."
"Since you are not familiar with each other, why did you try to persuade Hu Zi to stay when he wanted to leave?" Ling Qingwan's smile became even brighter.
"I am here because..."
Qiao'er suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Ling Qingwan, and saw that Ling Qingwan's eyes were full of cunning, as if he saw through her.
She knew that Ling Qingwan was so smart that she couldn't hide it from her.
"I don't know whether this is called love or not." Qiao'er lowered her head again and muttered softly.
"Then it means you like her." Ling Qingwan confirmed for Qiao'er.
"But he's already engaged to Liu'er... and he's leaving soon." Qiao'er couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of this.
Ling Qingwan just made Qiao'er's feelings clear, but Huzi insisted on returning to Taohua Village, and Ling Qingwan had no choice. She patted Qiao'er on the shoulder and let Qiao'er eat something to fill her stomach first.
There is nothing shameful about liking someone. Although Hu Zi is engaged, Qiao Er has not overstepped the boundaries. It is estimated that Hu Zi forgot who Qiao Er was as soon as he left the General's Mansion.
It is a blessing to be able to like someone openly, and it is the greatest blessing to be able to stay with the person you love.
Seeing Qiao'er depressed because of love, Ling Qingwan couldn't help but think of Wei Xun, and her thoughts drifted to the northern border.
I don’t know how he is doing now.
Although it is almost summer, the weather in northern Xinjiang is bad, with a big temperature difference between day and night. It is extremely hot during the day, and extremely cold at night.
“Ahem.”
There was only a flickering candle in the dilapidated house. Wei Xun sat at his desk, concentrating on handling government affairs.
"Your Highness." Wei Yi was worried that Wei Xun would catch a cold, so he put another piece of clothing on him.
But Wei Xun was still cold.
Especially when the wind is blowing, even if the doors and windows are closed, the wind will still come in through the gaps and hit people, making them feel bone-chillingly cold.
"It's okay." Wei Xun said in a muffled voice.
Seeing that there was no ink left on the inkstone, he put down his brush and closed the document on the table.
It was cold and there was no heater in the room, and there was no ink to write with. When had Wei Xun ever lived such a hard life
