Chapter 117 Truly Arrogant
Ling Xuerou understood that since her first statement had not come true, her father would not easily believe her.
She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, "Father, Xue'er's dream may not be fully realized."
However, Xue'er also dreamed about the plague in Jiangnan, and the Governor-General of Jiangnan concealed it from the public.
"Privately invite Pei Jishi from Medicine King Valley to come down the mountain. If your daughter can become his disciple, are you still worried that the King of Yue's people won't contact you?"
"You even know Pei Jishi?"
Ling Ruofeng was somewhat surprised, as Pei Jishi had not been to the capital for many years.
How could a five-year-old child know about Pei Jishi, who was far away in Medicine King Valley?
Could it be that what she said is true?
"Of course, in the dream, Pei Jishi had a noble lady from the capital who became his last disciple."
Later she was hailed as the greatest female doctor in the world, and my daughter thinks that this female doctor must be me!
Ling Xuerou slightly raised her chin.
She refused to believe it; if Yun Zhao could do it, she definitely could too!
After hearing this, Lin Shujing smiled and said, "Husband, even if this isn't true, I think..."
We could also let Xue'er become a disciple of Medicine King Valley; our Xue'er is so intelligent.
Given time, he will surely become a legendary healer, and perhaps even inherit the Medicine King Valley!
Medicine King Valley has many talented and extraordinary people. If one can become the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, he will surely be able to help him return to the imperial court one day!
Ling Ruofeng nodded slightly, "Then Xue'er must do her best, Father is looking forward to it!"
Ling Xuerou nodded heavily.
Just watch, in this life, without Yun Zhao in her way, she will definitely become her father and mother's proudest daughter!
When she returns to the capital, she will surely be the most noble lady in the capital!
Just as the family of three was looking forward to the future, there was a knock on the door.
"My lord, Yuan Hongyang, the magistrate of An County, requests an audience."
Marquis Dingyuan has been stripped of his title, and the officials have accepted the money from above, so they are not allowed to be harsh on the Ling family on the way.
They only dared to address him as "noble person".
Ling Ruofeng found the officer's words rather strange.
The magistrate wants to see him?
Ling Ruofeng put his daughter down, put his hands behind his back, and looked superior.
"Let him in."
The escorting officials respectfully pushed open the door, leaving Yuan Hongyang looking completely bewildered.
Why would government officials treat exiled prisoners with such courtesy?
Yuan Hongyang led his advisor inside, and as soon as they entered, they saw Ling Ruofeng standing there arrogantly with his hands behind his back.
He frowned slightly, turned to the side and asked in a low voice, "Master, is this Princess Jinglan?"
The advisor scrutinized him carefully, unable to suppress a frown.
"My lord, this girl looks about 80-90% like Princess Jinglan, only lacking the adornments of silk and satin."
However, these two people don't resemble Prince Jin and Princess Jin at all, in my opinion.
Yuan Hongyang, harboring doubts, asked directly, "Is this Princess Jinglan?"
Princess Jinglan?
Ling Xuerou, being cautious, spoke up before her parents could, "What? Does An County not allow those who have been demoted to live here?"
She neither denied that she was Princess Jinglan, nor did she directly impersonate her.
She simply straightened her back slightly, and her every move exuded the elegance of a noble lady from the capital.
The advisor immediately recognized that arrogant air about him—it was exactly the same as that of Princess Jinglan who had stepped on his back back back then!
"My lord, it's her!"
The advisor's tone became somewhat hurried.
Are you sure?
Yuan Hongyang felt that something was wrong.
"I'm certain that it was about half a year ago when I was offering incense at Huguo Temple and I encountered Princess Jin and the young princess praying for blessings."
It happened to be raining that day, and she secretly ran out to play, only to get trapped in a side hall.
The younger one happened to be passing by, and she arrogantly demanded that he act as a plank bridge for her.
I stepped right over my back! I'll never forget that, even in my dying moments!
Speaking of this matter, the advisor is still holding a grudge.
Although he failed to pass the imperial examination with flying colors, he was still a scholar.
He will never forget being humiliated like a slave!
The daughter of the Prince of Jin is so arrogant and haughty.
It seems that the name of the Prince of Jin, Na Xianwang, is nothing more than a misconception.
Yuan Hongyang automatically mistook Ling Ruofeng for the Prince of Jin, and the disdain on his face became particularly obvious.
Ling Ruofeng sensed something was amiss in his daughter's words, so he didn't refute her.
Seeing Yuan Hongyang's changing expression, Ling Xuerou decided to strike first.
"Have you reported the plague to the imperial court?"
Yuan Hongyang had been doubting, but upon hearing her say that, his doubts were immediately dispelled.
"I've heard that Princess Jinglan is a disciple of Medicine King Valley. Our county only has a few medicinal herbs available right now. I wonder if Medicine King Valley has any way to procure more?"
What disciple?
At this time, Yun Zhao shouldn't have met Pei Jishi yet!
Could they have already arrived in Jiangnan? Or perhaps they just happened to run into each other there?!
"Princess?"
Seeing Ling Xuerou's horrified expression, Yuan Hongyang was momentarily at a loss for words.
Ling Xuerou suppressed her surprise and said with a serious face, "Everyone knows that Medicine King Valley has no medicine shops."
Don't you do your research before asking for help? What medicinal herbs do you have on hand? Let me take a look.
Yuan Hongyang was testing her, and seeing that she was only five years old but could talk about the situation of Medicine King Valley, his doubts about her lessened a bit.
"Please wait a moment, Your Highness, I will send someone to deliver it immediately."
"Okay, after you deliver it, you can go back first. I'll check on the condition of these medicinal herbs."
Ling Xuerou calmly directed him, and no matter how unhappy Yuan Hongyang was, he naturally withdrew obediently because he needed her help.
"My lord, you see, just as I said, this princess is truly arrogant and disdainful of everyone!"
The advisor, harboring resentment, spoke hastily shortly after leaving the house.
Yuan Hongyang said with a gloomy expression, "If it weren't for Medicine King Valley, why would I be so respectful to an exiled brat!"
"Go, bring the medicinal herbs over here, and tell her to finish reading them quickly and deliver the message to Yaowang Valley!"
"Yes, sir!"
Meanwhile, inside the second-class room.
Ling Ruofeng stood by the door, listening intently to the sounds outside.
Only after they had gone far away did Ling Ruofeng walk to Ling Xuerou's side.
"Xue'er, what happened?"
Ling Xuerou and Yun Zhao have switched identities. Now, Princess Jinglan should be Yun Zhao. Why would she assume that she is Princess Jinglan?
"Father, have the exile team get ready immediately. Once Yuan Hongyang brings the medicinal herbs, we'll leave right away!"
Ling Ruofeng immediately understood.
She's trying to take these medicinal herbs away!
"You're such a good daughter, so smart!"
Ling Ruofeng happily lifted her up, momentarily forgetting that Princess Jinglan was a disciple of Medicine King Valley.
After he left in a hurry, the smile on Ling Xuerou's face slowly disappeared.
Seeing this, Lin Shujing asked with concern, "What's wrong with Xue'er?"
"Mother, did you hear that person say that Princess Jinglan has become a disciple of Medicine King Valley?"
You said that Yun Zhao has already gone to Jiangnan and preemptively become a disciple?
Ling Xuerou knew that Ling Ruofeng was materialistic and concerned with his image, while Lin Shujing was all talk and no action but little brains.
In Lin Shujing's heart, Yun Zhao had a mother-daughter relationship to some extent.
If Yun Zhao really does meet Pei Jishi first in Jiangnan, then she'll have to put a lot of pressure on Lin Shujing.
We absolutely cannot let Yun Zhao stick to their family again!
She buried her face in Lin Shujing's arms and began to cry sadly.
"Mother, shouldn't Xue'er have acknowledged her family? Why does my sister always try to take things from me? Waaaaah!"
