Now that Ling Qingwan has become the princess, it will be harder than ascending to heaven for Old Madam Ling to make a comeback.
Ling Chuchu was very disdainful of this.
She had known long ago that the Ling family was unreliable, otherwise she would not have been begging for a position next to Song Zhicheng.
Only by climbing up the high branches step by step, will Ling Chuchu have the chance to step on Ling Qingwan.
After comforting Madam Ling for a while, Ling Chuchu got tired of it. She found a random excuse and left the room.
"Miss."
Before they reached Plum Garden, Zhiqi suddenly came hurriedly over, as if something important had happened.
"What happened? Why is there so much noise?" Ling Chuchu looked around and made sure there was no one around before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhiqi looked like she was in trouble. Ling Chuchu didn't want to be caught by someone with ulterior motives.
"Miss, they are here." Zhiqi told Ling Chuchu.
After hearing this, Ling Chuchu was shocked.
"So where are they now?"
"I have some change on hand. Give it to them and tell them to go first." Zhiqi said cautiously to Ling Chuchu.
Ling Chuchu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Next time they come, just ignore them. They won't really cause trouble, at most they'll just scare me." Ling Chuchu's expression was cold, and her words were full of disgust.
"I understand." Zhiqi nodded in agreement.
"Really? Do they know my current situation? They thought the Ling Mansion was the same as before." Ling Chuchu snorted. "I am not as good as a maid like you as a young lady."
Zhiqi dare not say much.
She was afraid that someone would really cause trouble in Ling's house and Ling Chuchu would blame her, so she took out her savings for emergency. After all, having no money is better than having no life. Zhiqi thought of it as losing money to avoid disaster.
Soon, Luluo went to the general's mansion and told Ling Qingwan about this matter.
"You mean, Ling Chuchu's uncle and aunt came to see her?" Ling Qingwan was surprised after hearing this.
Ling Chuchu's mother died young, and Ling Shen had raised her since she was old enough to understand. As for whether she had any relatives on her biological mother's side, Ling Qingwan had never heard of it.
Even in her previous life, when Ling Chuchu became the Crown Princess and even the Queen, her uncle and aunt never showed up. Therefore, Ling Qingwan always believed that Ling Chuchu had no other relatives except the Ling family.
"Yes." Green Radish responded.
"Can this be confirmed?" Ling Qingwan asked again.
She believed in Luluo's ability to do things, but it was indeed a bit strange that Ling Chuchu suddenly had an uncle and aunt.
"It can be confirmed." Luoluo answered decisively. "Yesterday, I saw with my own eyes a couple coming to the gate of Ling Mansion, wanting to see Ling Chuchu. It was only after Zhiqi gave them money that they went back."
"I was afraid that this matter was suspicious and might be useful to you, so I went to investigate. I learned that the couple who came to see the young lady during the day were her uncle and aunt."
Ling Qingwan couldn't help but feel confused.
It was strange that Ling Chuchu suddenly showed up as her uncle and aunt, and she seemed unwilling to let the Ling family know. This made Ling Qingwan feel that there was something hidden.
Logically speaking, although Ling Chuchu's mother died young, it was not unusual for her to have relatives at home, and it was not something that could not be seen by others. Ling Chuchu should not have kept it secret.
Besides, Madam Ling doted on her so much. With an uncle still alive, Madam Ling would not neglect Ling Chuchu.
"Go and investigate in more detail, especially why her uncle and aunt came to see her. You must find out clearly." Ling Qingwan ordered in a stern voice.
Green Radish agreed solemnly.
Since Shen Chengzhou and Ling Xiao came back, Ling Qingwan suddenly had a lot more things on her hands. A Northern Zhou prince and a Northern Zhou princess, these two people have already given Ling Qingwan a headache, she almost forgot that there is also Ling Chuchu in the Ling Mansion who has a lot of things to do.
It seems that Ling Chuchu has to be on guard.
Nightfall.
Ling Qingwan finished washing up and prepared to rest.
Hong Chang stood motionless outside the door, silently protecting Ling Qingwan.
Before Madam Pu returned to Ling Shen's side two days ago, she repeatedly told Hong Chang to protect Ling Qing Wan, especially at night, because Wei Xun usually liked to visit Ling Qing Wan at night.
Although Hongchang didn't understand what Nanny Pu meant, Nanny Pu was the oldest among them and spoke with the most authority, so Hongchang understood what she meant.
At this time, Ling Qingwan had no idea what Hong Chang was thinking, and she went into bed comfortably.
"Your Majesty."
As expected, what you fear will come true.
Hong Chang was wondering why Nanny Park asked her to be on guard against Wei Xun and not let him stay alone with Ling Qingwan for too long. At the same time, she was keeping a close eye on her surroundings, not allowing any suspicious people to approach.
Unexpectedly, the suspicious person was not seen, but Hong Chang waited for Wei Xun.
No, Wei Xun is the biggest suspicious person.
"Is the young lady in there?" Wei Xun asked casually.
"Yes." Hong Chang answered truthfully.
After saying that, Wei Xun turned sideways and tried to go in.
Hong Chang almost subconsciously took a step to the side and stopped Wei Xun firmly.
Wei Xun frowned.
"The young lady...she has already fallen asleep." Hong Chang quickly found an excuse to prevaricate.
"Who is it? Who's outside?"
As soon as Hong Chang finished speaking, Ling Qingwan's voice rang out.
"Hong Shang? Who are you talking to?"
Hong Chang stroked her forehead.
Ling Qingwan hadn't spoken earlier or later, but she spoke at this moment.
This time, she couldn't stop Wei Xun at all.
The door was pushed open from the outside, Wei Xun came in and walked straight to the bed.
"Why didn't you climb through the window today?" Ling Qingwan wondered.
She glanced at the window carelessly, then remembered that because it was too cold at night, Ling Qingwan temporarily closed the doors and windows. The windows were even fastened with a screw.
"Don't you want me to come?" Wei Xun asked Ling Qingwan with a smile.
"No! Not at all!" Ling Qingwan retorted hurriedly, fearing that Wei Xun would think too much.
Wei Xun looked at Ling Qingwan's anxious look and couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" Ling Qingwan frowned, looking puzzled.
"I am happy that my wife cares about me and my feelings." Wei Xun still had a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of doting when he looked at Wei Xun.
Ling Qingwan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Wei Xun was taking advantage of her.
"I have not yet married you, I am not your wife yet."
"It will happen sooner or later." Wei Xuncai didn't listen to Ling Qingwan. "I will call you Madam, Madam, Madam, Madam right now."
Every word of "Madam" was extremely gentle.
Ling Qingwan was embarrassed and her cheeks flushed with shame.
She pretended to stand up and cover Wei Xun's mouth, but Wei Xun suddenly leaned back. Ling Qingwan was afraid of falling, so she subconsciously hung on Wei Xun.
Wei Xun then naturally picked up Ling Qingwan.
"Put me down!" Ling Qingwan felt her cheeks burning hot and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
She knew that she couldn't beat Wei Xun.
"Then kiss me." Wei Xun discussed the conditions with Ling Qingwan.
