Chapter 482: Just showing off their power
Song Yanxi looked at Xu Ruyue's figure in the distance and said meaningfully, "If you can stop her, it only means that she didn't want to come in anyway."
Qiu Ling felt that her words were too confusing and couldn't understand them, so she simply stopped thinking about them.
She supported her arm and muttered, "You have to take good care of your nose bleeding. Sister just lost so much blood, she needs to take good care of herself.
Why don't you stay at my house for one night and let my mother make you some chicken soup."
Song Yanxi smiled and asked, "Ling'er, are you not afraid of your uncle anymore?"
Qiu Ling thought about it, shook her head like a rattle and said, "Forget it, let Sister Zhuzhi take care of it."

After washing up in Qiu Ling's room, Song Yanxi changed into the dress she had prepared and was dazed for a moment when she sat down in front of the mirror.
She usually likes to wear plain clothes. The last time she wore a red dress was at Prince Jin's Mansion.
That red dress is still neatly stored deep in the closet.
As for the last time, it should be the wedding dress she wore when she was blind and chose to marry Lin Tingfeng.
The wedding dress was prepared by her mother half a year in advance, and she spent a lot of effort to embroider it stitch by stitch. She was reluctant to burn it together with those unlucky things, so she found a locked box and locked it up.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Qiu Ling couldn't help but arch her eyebrows and said with a smug look, "I knew that Sister would look good in this dress."
Looking at the peony pattern embroidered with gold thread on the skirt, Song Yanxi asked tentatively, "Ling'er, is this the auspicious dress you prepared for your coming-of-age ceremony?"
For any girl in Da'an, the day she comes of age is as important as her wedding day. She will wear auspicious clothes and, in the presence of friends and relatives, her mother will tie her hair up and put a hairpin on it.
When she saw that the dress was bigger than Qiu Ling, she thought it was an old dress of Aunt Qiu. But now she looked at the fabric and stitching, and it was clear that the style was from the past two years.
Qiu Ling smiled and said, "Yes, yes, sister is really smart."
She was laughing, but her face fell, and she pinched her waist, her cheeks puffed out in anger as she said, "When I did it last year, I was thinking I'd grow taller, but I didn't expect last year's clothes to still fit me perfectly this year."
She became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and asked with a look of grievance on her face, "Sister, will I stop growing taller in the future?"
"How could that be? You are still young and have a lot of time to grow."
Song Yanxi comforted him gently, glancing at where Qiu Ling tied her belt from the corner of her eyes. She said confidently, "When you're twenty, you'll definitely be taller than your aunt."
When Qiu Ling heard this, her eyes lit up instantly.
She took Song Yanxi's hand and shook it gently, saying coquettishly: "I knew that my sister must have a magic medicine here!
I want to grow taller, taller than my brother."
Thinking about the fact that Qiu Zongping was only half a head shorter than Mo Jinchuan when leaving the border town, Song Yanxi really couldn't bear to hit her.
It's unlikely that she will grow as tall as her brother.
Understanding something from Song Yanxi's eyes, Qiu Ling pursed her lips and said, "It doesn't matter. My mother said that being a little big and stupid is nothing."
"Did my aunt really say that?"
Song Yanxi expressed doubts about this.
As a mother, how could she bear to say that to her own son?
Besides, although General Qiu was a little stronger due to the training on the battlefield, he had nothing to do with the big fool.
Qiu Ling thought of something and quickly shook her head, "Sister, I didn't say anything, and you didn't hear anything."
Afraid that she would not help to lie, she quickly opened her dressing box and said generously, "Sister, please take whatever you like."
Song Yanxi raised an eyebrow, "Are you so willing to do that?"
Qiu Ling twisted her sleeves with her hands and smiled guiltily, "If the old doesn't go away, the new won't come. My sister took it away, so naturally, mother will buy me a new one."
Although what she said made sense, would she really not be scolded if she did this?
Guessing Song Yanxi's thoughts, Qiu Ling glanced back cautiously and whispered, "My mother is the most hard-mouthed but soft-hearted person. That's why she couldn't bear to hit me."
She couldn't bear to leave, but what about Lord Qiu?
Qiu Ling's smile froze. She took her hand and shook it gently, saying, "Sister, please don't tell my father. He will definitely punish me by making me copy books."
The thought of copying books made her head ache.
I couldn't help but complain quietly, "I wonder if those saints are just too full to eat.
They're just spreading this book around, just trying to show off how great they are."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cold cough suddenly from outside.
Qiu Ling suddenly felt like he was facing a great enemy, yelling "Oh no" and quickly hid behind Song Yanxi.
Qiu Yuanzheng did not enter the house, but only instructed in the courtyard: "Ling'er, there are some miscellaneous matters in the Dali Temple, and your father needs to go back.
You should stay home and entertain the distinguished guests on behalf of your mother, and do not neglect them."
Qiu Ling agreed immediately and urged, "Daddy, go quickly. I'll take care of everything at home."
Hearing this, Qiu Yuanzheng's face darkened.
It was because of her presence that he felt uneasy.
Fortunately, the princess is here today and can give her some advice to prevent her from indulging in her own temper and making Miss Xu laugh.
As Qiu Yuanzheng turned to walk out, he heard his daughter ask, "Daddy, has His Royal Highness Prince Jin left?"
If he were still here, she would have to go out to entertain guests.
Qiu Yuanzheng said, "Someone came from the palace. His Majesty summoned the prince to the palace. He left a quarter of an hour ago."
Hearing this, Song Yanxi couldn't help but frown.
Lord Qiu is on leave today, but Mo Jinchuan went to court as usual.
Even though it was inconvenient to speak in the court, after the court was over, the father and son should finish what they had to say, no matter how much they wanted to say.
It was past dinner time, and he would not announce it at this time just to keep him company on the cross.
It just so happened that at the same time, the Dali Temple also had important matters to attend to, and Lord Qiu, who was on rest at home, had to go there in person.
Such a coincidence made Song Yanxi think too much.
Listening to the footsteps fading away, Qiu Ling winked at her and said with a mischievous smile, "Sister, let's go for a walk outside."
The two of them will go out and leave the guest Xu Ruyue in the mansion to accompany her aunt?
Meeting Song Yanxi's hesitant eyes, Qiu Ling hurriedly said, "Sister, don't worry, Sister Xu should have returned home by now.
She came here for the prince, and now that the prince has left, she will not stay long."
Unable to resist her pestering, Song Yanxi had to agree to accompany her for two hours.
It just so happened that she also had some things to buy.
It’s not a good idea to let the little ones live in the inn all the time. If something happens on a daily basis, we won’t be able to take care of them.
Thinking about going shopping with Song Yanxi, Qiu Ling couldn't stop smiling.
As she walked her out, she kept muttering about the shops they were going to visit next, most of which were clothing and jewelry stores.
Song Yanxi thought the girl was just fickle and was thinking of taking her to her shop to pick out some clothes when she heard her say, "Sister, you usually dress too plainly. You don't look like a princess at all.
I'll go to the street later and pick out some brightly colored dresses for my sister."
As she spoke, she imitated Madam Qiu and said earnestly, "Yan Xi is just too miserable. She is so young but she dresses so old-fashioned all day long.
As soon as I saw her, I wanted to pick up a knife and chop up the ungrateful Lin family."
Her features resembled those of Mrs. Qiu, and she deliberately imitated her demeanor, doing so very well.
Song Yanxi was amused by her playful appearance, reached out and tapped her forehead, and said: "I just don't like these things on weekdays, it's not that I don't have them."
Seeing Qiu Ling's disbelief, she smiled and asked, "Do you really think that the dowry boxes brought into the Lin family were all empty?"
