Both incidents happened yesterday, in Huajianlou, so it's hard not to suspect that there's a connection between the two.
After being reminded by Mingyue, Qiaoer suddenly realized.
"Could it be that the matter of the prince's personal servant was planned by Yun Gui?" Mingyue made a guess.
But on second thought, Changan and Yungui had no grudges against each other, so why would he frame Changan? Mingyue was puzzled.
"It's possible." Ling Qingwan responded.
Mingyue and Qiao'er were both surprised and looked at Ling Qingwan with wide eyes.
"As for what Yun Gui wants to do, we will know in two days." Ling Qingwan's eyes were slightly dim, and a deep meaning flashed in them.
At this time, Ling Mansion.
The news that Chang'an and Mei Han from Yanyu Pavilion were having fun in Huajian Tower was a hot topic, and naturally it soon reached Ling Chuchu's ears.
After hearing what Zhiqin said, Ling Chuchu snorted coldly.
"It's a good thing I didn't go, otherwise I would be the one being laughed at by the public today."
She had suspected that Yun Gui had some ulterior motive for suddenly asking her out the day before yesterday. To be on the safe side, Ling Chuchu asked Zhiqin to take her clothes to Yanyu Pavilion to ask Mei Han for help.
Mei Han and Ling Chuchu had some friendship, and Ling Chuchu was generous, so it was natural for her to accept this favor.
Unexpectedly, she really guessed it right. Yun Gui really had a crush on her and wanted to harm her. The more Ling Chuchu thought about it, the angrier she became, and her expression became more gloomy.
"Miss, you are blessed by heaven. You have escaped a disaster today, and you will surely have great fortune in the future." Zhiqin echoed Ling Chuchu and spoke well of her.
"As long as Ling Qingwan is around, even if I am blessed, she will wear me down." Ling Chuchu became angry whenever she mentioned Ling Qingwan.
Even Yun Gui suddenly changed his behavior after meeting Ling Qingwan and started to plot against her.
Ling Chuchu has not forgotten how Yun Gui had taken great pains to help her.
"It's a pity. Yun Gui is quite capable." Ling Chuchu sighed lightly.
Although she has completely disliked Yun Gui now, no matter what, Yun Gui once treated her sincerely, and Ling Chuchu was somewhat moved by Yun Gui.
Yun Gui was very handsome, and in her heart he was as good as Wei Xun. When Ling Chuchu first saw Yun Gui, her heart skipped a beat. Moreover, Yun Gui was very gentle to her from the beginning, so gentle that when she frowned a little, Yun Gui would feel distressed for a long time, fearing that she was wronged.
After teaching Ling Qingwan a lesson, Ling Chuchu also witnessed Yun Gui's ability with her own eyes. If he had not met Ling Qingwan alone that day, perhaps he would still be the same as before...
What a pity.
Ling Chuchu quickly withdrew her thoughts.
Even if she had liked Yun Gui before, so what? Since Yun Gui had bad intentions towards her, he was her enemy.
In the evening, Shen Chengzhou returned from the palace with the latest developments. Chang'an was executed for his bad character and disgrace to the East Palace.
"Who made the decision?" Ling Qingwan asked.
"It should be the prince. Chang'an is the prince's man. If he does something wrong, it should be the prince who decides how to punish him." Shen Chengzhou said, and hurriedly took another bite of rice.
"By the way, Wanwan, I have received accurate information. The Seventh Prince will arrive in the capital tomorrow."
"It will arrive tomorrow." Ling Qingwan was shocked.
This is a bit too fast.
Ling Xiao was concentrating on eating when Ling Qingwan suddenly raised her voice, startling him so much that he raised his head and looked straight at Ling Qingwan.
"Who's arriving tomorrow? Where?"
In my impression, Ling Qingwan is always depressed. She has never been so excited.
"Seventh Prince, return to the capital." Shen Chengzhou replied impatiently. "Are you really listening to me?"
"You told me to concentrate on eating, but now you blame me for not listening to you. What should I do?" Ling Xiao felt inexplicably aggrieved when being accused by Shen Chengzhou.
"You use your mouth to eat, and you use your ears to listen to me. What's the connection between the two?" Shen Chengzhou was also a person who refused to admit defeat, and he immediately argued with Ling Xiao.
"I… "
"Twenty horse stances."
As soon as Ling Xiao opened his mouth, Shen Chengzhou said something lightly, instantly telling him to shut up.
Ling Qingwan watched from the side, grinning from ear to ear.
After laughing, Ling Qingwan began to worry.
She thought it would take half a month from Mobei to Dongjing City, and with the packing, it would take several more days to reach the capital. Suddenly knowing that Wei Xun would arrive tomorrow, Ling Qingwan was a little overwhelmed.
Back in the room, she started weaving the pendant without stopping.
The pendant was almost finished, with only some edges and corners left. Ling Qingwan worked very carefully, so naturally her speed was slow. Even with these few stitches, it might not be finished by tomorrow.
"Miss, please go slower and don't tire yourself out." Nanny Park came in with a cup of tea in her hands. Seeing Ling Qingwan still knitting, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
Her young lady is a royal daughter, so why would Ling Qingwan need to do these rough jobs herself
Ling Qingwan didn't know how to weave, so she asked Madam Pu a lot at first. Madam Pu couldn't bear it and wanted to help Ling Qingwan weave, but Ling Qingwan refused and insisted on doing it herself.
Nanny Park watched Ling Qingwan make this pendant step by step.
"I'm fine." Ling Qingwan said, but her hands never stopped moving.
"Mammy, what do you know? The young lady is knitting for the Seventh Prince. Even if you let her not eat or drink for 81 days, she won't get tired."
Qiao'er had just walked in when she heard what Nanny Pu had just said, and she smiled and teased her.
“It’s not like I don’t know that the young lady is knitting for the Seventh Prince.” Nanny Park sighed helplessly.
The problem is not who she is knitting for, but that Ling Qingwan simply doesn't know how to rest.
"That's all. He's tired anyway. When the Seventh Prince comes back tomorrow, he will coax our young lady." Qiao'er had an expression that said "she knows everything".
Ling Qingwan was immediately embarrassed by their conversation and her cheeks flushed.
"Okay you two, stop talking about this."
"It's not hot today, why is your face blushing?" Qiao'er smiled, her eyes curved into crescents.
"Qiao'er!" Ling Qingwan pouted and yelled at Qiao'er.
Although she said it was a roar, her tone was still soft. Ling Qingwan was not angry with Qiao'er at all.
"Mammy, I have a task for you. Take Qiao'er downstairs to do something and give her a good lesson." Ling Qingwan instructed Mammy Park.
In this way, both Nanny Pu and Qiao'er were sent away, and she could continue with her needlework.
Thinking that Wei Xun would return to Beijing tomorrow, Ling Qingwan felt indescribably happy.
What happened at Tingxue Villa exhausted her, she just didn't say it, but every time she recalled the tragic scene when the Zhao couple died, Ling Qingwan still felt very uncomfortable.
If Wei Xun was by her side, maybe she would feel better, Ling Qingwan thought.
On the day Wei Xun came back, Ling Qingwan didn't get to wait for him, but she waited for Ling Xiao.
As soon as he entered the room, Ling Xiao's eyes were fixed on the pendant on the table.
Most pendants were made of jade, and their shapes and embroidery were similar, nothing special. But Ling Qingwan's was different.
She knitted a small doll with a tiger pattern by herself.
“It’s pretty cute.”
