Wei Xun had witnessed Ling Qingwan's abilities since the first time he saw her outside the city.
At that time, she really was just a little girl.
During this year in Tokyo, Ling Qingwan had become a little more pampered, and now looked like a lady from a wealthy family, no longer as dark and thin as before. But what remained unchanged was her calm and reserved personality, as well as her extremely smart mind.
As the saying goes, those who are capable must work harder, and Ling Qingwan has had a very hard time this year.
No matter what happened in the General's Mansion or the Ling Mansion, she seemed to be the first to solve it.
Thinking of this, Wei Xun couldn't help but feel sorry for Ling Qingwan.
Soon, within two or three days, the emperor's decree came down, appointing Ling Feng as the governor of Weizhou, and he set off for Weizhou that day.
"Four consecutive promotions are not common. Lord Ling is capable." The eunuch handed the imperial edict to Ling Feng and said with a smile.
Ling Feng was extremely embarrassed and managed to smile twice. After the eunuch who announced the imperial edict left, Ling Feng could no longer hold back and angrily threw the imperial edict to the ground.
From an editor in the Hanlin Academy to the governor of a state, it seems that Ling Feng got a great advantage, but the former is a Beijing official after all, and the people he meets on a daily basis are all important figures. How can a local official compare to this
Once he went to Weizhou, he would not be able to come back twice a year, which meant that he was out of touch with the capital. In the future, he would probably have to stay in Weizhou.
Ling Feng was extremely angry and immediately summoned Ling Qingwan to his study.
"I heard that the emperor's decree to confer an official title has come down. Daddy called me here in such a hurry, but is it to tell me the good news?" Ling Qingwan chuckled and looked quite happy.
Ling Feng's face was gloomy, and he did not feel happy about the promotion at all.
"Yes, he was promoted to governor of Weizhou."
"From the seventh rank to the third rank, that's four levels in a row, what a great thing!" Ling Qingwan was overjoyed and wanted to applaud to celebrate.
"What good thing? I think this is a terrible thing." Ling Feng was so angry that he was breathing heavily. "From being a Beijing official to a local official, how can I survive in the court if I am not in the capital in the future?"
He doesn't want to stay outside all his life.
"Ling Qingwan, did you do this on purpose? Did you deliberately let the Seventh Prince choose Weizhou for me?"
The more Ling Feng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he pointed the finger at Ling Qingwan.
"Father, I feel really wronged when you say that." Ling Qingwan frowned, revealing a wronged look. "I told you long ago that I can only ask the prince for your help. As for whether you can be promoted or to what position, that is not something I can decide."
"The prince certainly likes me, but he doesn't like me enough to allow me to interfere in state affairs, right?"
Ling Qingwan's words made sense, and Ling Feng couldn't find any words to refute them.
"Besides, why would I do this? There's no benefit."
"As you said, the Seventh Prince likes you. If you are willing, he might really work hard for you. As for why you do this, it's probably because you can't stand me and want me to leave the capital so that you won't see me again." Ling Feng snorted coldly.
The way he now ran to Ling Qingwan with all his confidence to call her to task was completely different from the way he had been two days ago when he asked Ling Qingwan to help her plead with the prince.
"Let me be frank. I haven't seen you many times since I came to Tokyo. Why should I go to the trouble of sending you out of the capital? Besides, if I really wanted you to leave the capital, I could have chosen a place farther away instead of Weizhou."
"Weizhou is adjacent to the capital, and its prosperity is only inferior to that of the capital. You won't be bullied when you go there, and you can come back to visit anytime. If, as you said, I can't stand you, will I let you live such a good life?"
Ling Qingwan spoke calmly, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.
She did influence where Ling Feng would become an official, but it was definitely not her intention to make Ling Feng stay away from her.
Ling Qingwan had a lot of things to do and was too lazy to waste her energy on Ling Feng.
Now, Ling Feng was really speechless.
The imperial edict had already come down, so he had to go. And as Ling Qingwan said, Weizhou was a big city, quite prosperous, and only two or three days away from the capital. Thinking of it this way, it wasn't that hard to accept.
In the evening, Ling Qingwan finished packing and prepared to rest. Mingyue came in and handed Ling Qingwan a box.
"What is this?" Ling Qingwan was puzzled.
The box was not big, only the size of a palm, but when she weighed it, it still had some weight.
"This was sent by Yun Gui." Mingyue told Ling Qingwan.
Ling Qingwan frowned.
"Is he still in Tokyo?"
Ling Qingwan hadn't seen Yun Gui for a long time. If Mingyue hadn't mentioned him, she would have almost forgotten about him.
"I heard him say that he left for a trip, intending to travel around, and he found something you need, so he asked me to bring it to you." Mingyue took out another letter from her pocket. "This is also from him, and it contains an introduction."
Ling Qingwan opened the box out of curiosity.
There was a small blue and white porcelain vase inside.
Then she opened the envelope again and read the contents of the letter to the end.
Ling Qingwan was shocked.
It turned out that the porcelain bottle contained medicine for detoxifying Wei Xun.
Did he find Wynn
At this moment, Ling Qingwan wanted very much to meet Yun Gui and find out what happened.
After Mingyue left, Ling Qingwan called Hongshang over and asked her to help her see what the antidote was made of. With the previous experience as a lesson, and since it was something that was eaten, Ling Qingwan had to be cautious.
Thinking of Yun Gui, Ling Qingwan frowned unconsciously.
She was not a fool and could see that Yun Gui cared about her, but Yun Gui's care was so extreme and blind that Ling Qingwan felt suffocated.
Ling Qingwan didn't like this feeling.
She likes Wei Xun, and she only feels at ease when she stays with Wei Xun.
However, if the medicine that Yun Gui sent could really cure the poison in Wei Xun, then she would owe it to Yun Gui.
Ling Qingwan doesn't like to owe favors to others, especially people she doesn't know well.
That's all.
Thinking about it didn't make her happy, so Ling Qingwan decided not to think about it. After lighting the tranquilizing incense, she went to sleep.
Two days later, Ling Feng left.
Old Madam Ling and her family members came to see them off at the door, and Ling Qingwan was also among them as per the rules.
The carriage drove slowly away from everyone's sight. The ladies from other houses left, and only Old Lady Ling, Ling Chuchu, and Ling Qingwan were left.
Ling Chuchu supported Old Madam Ling and passed by Ling Qingwan.
Facing Ling Qingwan, Madam Ling was not in a good mood. But perhaps because she had something on her, Madam Ling did not want to quarrel with Ling Qingwan, so she just glanced at Ling Qingwan a few times and left.
Ling Qingwan didn't take it seriously and was about to go back when suddenly a maid came running over.
"Miss Ling Er, please stay." the maid called out.
"What's wrong?" Ling Qingwan turned her head and looked up and down at the little maid in front of her.
"My lady would like to invite Miss Ling Er to have tea at Yipinming tomorrow afternoon. Please go there in person, Miss Ling Er." The little maid was quite respectful.
