Looking at Ling Feng's serious expression, Ling Qingwan covered her mouth and couldn't help but chuckle.
She had never seen anyone keeping a mistress, bringing the son born to the mistress to his side, treating him a thousand times better than his other children, and still saying so righteously that he was sincere to his wife.
Ling Feng's words did not move Ling Qingwan. Instead, they made Ling Qingwan feel that Ling Feng was treating her like a fool.
"What are you laughing at?" Ling Feng's face changed.
Ever since Ling Qingwan returned to Tokyo, he had looked down on this daughter who grew up in the countryside. Today, being able to bow to Ling Qingwan, in Ling Feng's opinion, he had taken the initiative to lower himself.
"Daddy, you don't have to show your loyalty to my mother in front of me. It's not like I'm blind. I've seen everything you do to my mother." Ling Qingwan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile on her face.
The implication was that Ling Feng should stop pretending. How could Ling Qingwan not know what kind of person he was
Ling Feng looked a little embarrassed.
"Then let's not talk about this matter." He smiled. "I came to you today because I have something important to discuss with you."
really.
Ling Qingwan curled her thin lips slightly, lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
She knew best what kind of person her father was. If Ling Feng couldn't get any benefit from her, how could he talk to her nicely today
The two of them lived under the same roof for a year, but Ling Feng never showed any concern for her. During this time, Ling Qingwan was unwell several times, but Ling Feng, as her father, did not show any concern at all.
Ling Qingwan was clear about all of this.
"As you know, I was demoted after that incident. Now I am an editor in the Hanlin Academy. Not only do I have no power, but I am also often bullied by the superiors."
As he spoke, Ling Feng leaned forward slightly, rubbed his hands, and looked at Ling Qingwan with an expectant expression.
"I thought to myself, you and the Seventh Prince have a deep relationship. If you ever get together in the future, I, as the Seventh Princess's father, would be so humble in the court. It would be a disgrace to you and the Seventh Prince..."
When Ling Feng said this, even if Ling Qingwan was stupid, she could understand what he meant.
"Father, do you want me to find you a new official position?" Ling Qingwan asked.
"Yes! That's what I mean!" Ling Feng nodded immediately, waiting happily for Ling Qingwan's agreement.
"But..." Ling Qingwan frowned, looking embarrassed. "I am just a woman, how can I get involved in the affairs of the court? Besides, you were demoted by the emperor himself. Even if you want to be promoted, it depends on the emperor's opinion. Does father think too highly of me if he lets me influence the emperor's thoughts?"
"You can't do it, but the Seventh Prince can!" Ling Feng blurted out, greed revealed on his face.
Realizing his abruptness, he quickly restrained himself.
"I saw the Seventh Prince send you back home just now. The Seventh Prince cares so much about you, I'm sure he will agree if you ask him." Ling Feng said patiently to Ling Qingwan. "If he doesn't agree, you should just lower your attitude a little."
A hint of coldness flashed across Ling Qingwan's eyes.
It was the first time she met such a shameless person.
"Wan Wan, you have been back home for a year. Ask yourself, have I ever been harsh on you? Now that the power of the Ling Mansion is in your hands, as a father, I have done enough for you, right?"
Seeing that Ling Qingwan didn't say anything, Ling Feng became a little anxious and started to play the emotional card.
"What father said makes sense." Ling Qingwan nodded.
Ling Feng's eyes lit up.
"Well, I'll go back and give it a try and tell the prince. If it works, that would be great. If it doesn't, please don't blame me, father."
Ling Qingwan has agreed to Ling Feng's request.
Ling Feng had heard about how good Wei Xun was to Ling Qingwan. Today, he saw with his own eyes how Wei Xun cared about Ling Qingwan.
You know, Wei Xun has always been known for his apathy towards women and his cold temperament.
Ling Feng seemed to have completely ignored what Ling Qingwan said next. He was in high spirits, as if he had already anticipated that he would be promoted.
Coming out of the study and on the way back to the room, Qiao'er couldn't help but ask Ling Qingwan why she agreed to Ling Feng.
"His affair with Miss Cheng has been made public, and the one he feels most sorry for is Madam. Now he keeps saying that he is sincere to Madam. In fact, Madam is sincere to him. Madam is kind to him and is willing to use her dowry to help him. He really wants to take advantage of Madam."
Qiao'er was so angry that she kicked the gravel on the ground.
"You're still talking about giving you the power, as if it's a hot commodity. If you think it's right, then take it yourself. It's not right to force it on you."
Ling Qingwan thought Qiao'er was cute, so she let her talk.
"Miss, why did you agree to the master's request? I still can't understand."
Qiao'er originally didn't want to ask Ling Qingwan.
She knew that Ling Qingwan must have her own reasons for doing things. She was not thoughtful enough and could not understand what Ling Qingwan did. She just needed to accompany Ling Qingwan.
But Qiao'er couldn't figure this matter out no matter how hard she thought.
Doesn’t Ling Qingwan also hate Ling Feng
After Qiao'er finished speaking, the two of them entered the yard. Ling Qingwan went straight into the room.
"Do you still remember Ye Yun?"
Ling Qingwan raised her eyes and asked Qiao'er.
"I remember." Qiao'er agreed. Ye Yun was the illegitimate son of Ling Feng and Cheng Man, and he had been the housekeeper of the Ling Mansion for several years. How could Qiao'er not remember him
"The enemy is in the dark while I am in the light, which is very disadvantageous to me. You also know that my brother was attacked by an assassin on the way to Suiyang. If I don't take action again, this time my brother will lose his memory. Next time, I am not sure what I can do."
"Although Ye Yun is cold-blooded and ruthless, he has been with Ling Feng for many years, and there are also interests between the two. If there is a chance to meet Ling Feng, I think Ye Yun will not refuse."
Ling Qingwan's eyes were slightly dim.
Ye Yun was extremely ambitious, and Ling Qingwan had discovered this in his previous life. Moreover, he still had a deep hatred for Ye Yun. After all, Ye Yun was a person, and it would be difficult for him to turn things around if he worked hard alone.
Although Ling Feng is now fallen, he was once a marquis. The two of them together are better than Ye Yun fighting alone.
If Ye Yun's whereabouts could not be found, then there was another way, which was to let Ye Yun expose himself in front of her. And getting Ling Feng promoted was the first step of Ling Qingwan's plan.
Late at night, the light in the palace study was still dim.
Liu Yutang applied medicine to Wei Xun and then left. Lai Fu was waiting outside, and Wei Xun was the only one in the room.
The gatekeeper brought a letter.
"Ling Mansion?" Lai Fu looked at the signature on the envelope and wondered. "Why would Ling Mansion write to you at this late hour?"
"Let me see it." Wei Xun became interested.
When mentioning Ling Feng, the first person that came to his mind was Ling Qingwan.
Sure enough, it was written by her.
In the letter, Ling Qingwan asked Wei Xun to help Ling Feng find an official position.
"What a smart girl." Wei Xun couldn't help but sigh.
"I've done Ling Feng a favor and also fulfilled my own wishes. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
