I still remember that not long ago, when Ling Chuchu and Old Madam Ling forced her to hand over the household goods, she was still aggressive. Now looking at Ling Chuchu again, she looked attentive, completely different from before.
If we were to say whose expression changes faster than a book, it would be Ling Chuchu.
"Big sister doesn't often visit me on weekdays. She came here suddenly, so I was naturally curious about the reason. Big sister, there is no need to be restrained in front of me. Just say whatever you want to say. There is no need to beat around the bush with me." Ling Qingwan looked gentle, neither arrogant nor impatient. Just looking at her expression, one could not detect her emotions at all.
Ling Chuchu's lips curled up even more, and her smile became brighter.
"I heard that my brother was injured in Suiyang and has been staying in the general's mansion for treatment and recuperation since he came back. Is that true?"
Ling Qingwan paused while holding the tea.
Instantly, she understood the purpose of Ling Chuchu's visit.
It seems that the news of her meeting with Yun Gui somehow reached Ling Chuchu's ears, and Ling Chuchu is testing her. In addition, she probably wants to pretend in front of Yun Gui.
Ling Qingwan thought for a long time about why Yun Gui had such a big reaction yesterday. Later, she pieced together all the questions Yun Gui asked and roughly understood.
But even so, Ling Qingwan didn't want to have anything to do with Yun Gui.
Yun Gui was indeed not an ordinary person. If the two of them really became enemies, it would be a huge trouble for Ling Qingwan. Her only request to Yun Gui was that they should be neither enemies nor friends, but strangers.
"That's right." Ling Qingwan replied slowly.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much. Why don't you take me with you when you go to the General's Mansion, so that I can have a chance to care about you." Ling Chuchu said. "After all, you and I have known each other since childhood, and we have been siblings for longer than you."
Having said that, Ling Qingwan had no choice but to agree.
If she didn't agree, it would make her look narrow-minded. After all, before she returned to Tokyo City, Ling Xiao and Ling Chuchu's relationship was not that close, but it was definitely not to the point of tit-for-tat.
"It's a good thing that big sister has this intention. How could I not agree?" Ling Qingwan smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth.
Seeing Ling Qingwan nod, Ling Chuchu felt relieved.
After returning to the yard, Qiao'er finally couldn't help but start complaining to Ling Chuchu.
"Look at what she said. She said she and the young master have been siblings longer than you, young lady. It's as if she knows the young master very well."
"She's not wrong to say that." Ling Qingwan smiled.
Compared to Qiao'er, she is much calmer.
"It's been a long time since the young master came back from Suiyang, and I haven't seen her come to visit. Not to mention the eldest young master, when you said that the lady was ill, she didn't care much either. She just wanted to get the seal. I don't know what she is thinking about visiting the eldest young master at this time."
Qiao'er was not convinced and kept muttering in Ling Qingwan's ear for a long time.
"Qiao'er, please talk less and don't disturb the young lady's peace." Luluo couldn't help but remind Qiao'er.
Only then did Qiao'er shut her mouth unhappily.
"It's okay." Ling Qingwan patted Qiao'er's hand and let her support him into the room. "If she wants to pretend, then let her do it. I want to know if it's that easy for her to pretend like this."
"What does Miss mean?" Qiao'er was puzzled and thought Ling Qingwan had a plan in mind.
"My brother's bad temper now is not something Ling Chuchu can bear." Ling Qingwan raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Qiao'er suddenly understood.
They had all seen Ling Xiao's temper, and apart from Shen Chengzhou and Ling Qingwan, who could do anything to him? Ling Chuchu didn't know it was a trap, and jumped down happily, not knowing that all her little tricks were seen by Ling Qingwan.
Inn.
Yun Gui sat in the yard drinking tea.
Sui'an came in, bent down close to Yungui, and said a few words in his ear.
"All retreated?" Yun Gui was surprised.
"Yes, all of them have withdrawn." Sui'an answered firmly.
Yun Gui knew that Ling Qingwan had secretly investigated and monitored him before. Naturally, Ling Qingwan's withdrawal of his men could not be hidden from Yun Gui.
Sui'an told Yungui about this matter as soon as possible.
"Miss Ling, have you realized that you have mistaken her for someone else? You accidentally injured her several times before, so..."
"I don't know." Yun Gui interrupted Sui'an.
These days, whenever he thought about how he had helped Ling Chuchu hurt Ling Qingwan several times before, he felt extremely guilty. As luck would have it, Sui'an's words reminded him again.
He harmed Ling Qingwan and went against Ling Qingwan for Ling Chuchu, but in the end, the person he really wanted to find and the person he should help was Ling Qingwan.
This is truly the funniest joke in the world.
Fortunately, Ling Qingwan was not injured, otherwise he would never be able to forgive his stupidity in his life.
"Ling Qingwan probably means that she doesn't want to have anything to do with me."
Finally, Yun Gui uttered a few words softly.
"What are you going to do next, sir?" Sui An was curious.
Since Ling Qingwan deliberately distanced herself from him, Yun Gui had to listen to Ling Qingwan obediently.
"Just do it like this for now, pretend in front of Ling Chuchu, and let me see what she will do next." Yun Gui told Sui An.
He traveled a long way to Tokyo, but he was not able to get close to the woman of his dreams, and they almost became enemies. How could Yun Gui accept this
The sixth day of October is the death anniversary of General Shen’s wife, Shen Awan.
It was late autumn, the weather was getting colder, and the rain was gradually increasing. It was drizzling when Shen Chengzhou and his party set out to pay tribute to Awan.
The rain was pattering and hitting people's faces, feeling cold.
Ling Qingwan held Ling Shen's arm affectionately, while Madam Pu and Madam Zhou were holding oil-paper umbrellas beside her.
There were already carriages parked in front of the general's mansion. Ling Qingwan was originally going to get into the second carriage, but Ling Xiao jumped in first, covering half of it completely, as if he was guarding against Ling Qingwan.
"Miss." Qingfeng looked embarrassed.
Before he left, he told Ling Xiao not to argue with the young lady. Ling Xiao, on the other hand, treated his words as bullshit and didn't listen to a word he said.
"I'll go to the one behind." Ling Qingwan didn't argue too much, then turned and went to another carriage beside her.
Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt sorry for Ling Qingwan.
"Master, don't blame me for being nosy. You really went too far in this matter."
On the way, Qingfeng talked about this with Lingxiao through a door curtain: "You forgot how well the young lady treated you. I saw it with my own eyes. You are so cold and reject her. Aren't you just cutting a knife into the young lady's heart in vain?"
How much Ling Xiao loved Ling Qingwan before, how cold he is now. With such a huge gap, Qingfeng couldn't imagine how uncomfortable Ling Qingwan must be.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Ling Qingwan. Qingfeng couldn't help but want to beat Ling Xiao up.
Then he spoke a few more words earnestly, but Ling Xiao didn't respond.
Until Qingfeng heard Lingxiao snoring.
