"How can I, Ling Sheng, be the kind of person who would harm others! Tomorrow I will take the initiative to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to cancel the engagement..."
Ling Sheng did not treat Concubine Hui as an outsider, and he did not intend to hide what she said or thought from her.
"Alas," Concubine Hui sighed, "Those girls are too ignorant. It's okay to have a little fight, but this is too ignorant of the seriousness of the matter!"
Ling Sheng pursed his sharp thin lips into a firm arc and said nothing.
Thinking of everything that happened in the mansion that afternoon, the dull pain in his heart did not ease at all.
Concubine Hui paused before speaking again, "Brother, the fifth girl has broken off the engagement. If you agree, I will make the decision and let Jue'er take her as a concubine..."
Facing the look Ling Sheng gave her, her eyes were a little red, and she looked like she was completely thinking about her brother Ling Sheng and his child.
"What else can we do? Brother? The fifth girl is already Jue'er's. If Jue'er doesn't marry her, and the Prime Minister's Mansion cancels the engagement, wouldn't that force the fifth girl to death? Fortunately, we are all family. If she follows Jue'er, I can still watch over her, and Jue'er won't treat her badly..."
The corners of Ling Sheng's lips trembled slightly, and after a long while, he spoke with difficulty, "Thank you, Madam."
Concubine Hui sighed again, "Brother, you are talking nonsense again." Then she changed the subject, "With what happened in the mansion, brother must not have had dinner yet. I'll have someone serve the food..."
"No, I have to get back."
Concubine Hui also knew that there was still a lot of mess in his house, so she didn't stay and just sent Ling Sheng out with red eyes.
As soon as Ling Sheng was sent out, Concubine Hui turned around and her expression changed completely.
She knew her brother very well, so there were only two reasons why he came to the palace to ask for an audience late at night. One was that he felt guilty for beating Jue'er without any reason, and the other was that he wanted to plead for Ling Yanran, the daughter who had plotted against Jue'er.
And now.
Hehe, she took the initiative to say that she had married Ling Yanran. Although Ling Sheng didn't say much, his relieved expression in his heart couldn't deceive her eyes.
My brother’s weakness is indeed his daughters!
Now, she and Jue'er have already firmly grasped one of his daughters in their hands!
Next, it's Ling Jing's turn as that ungrateful little bitch...
Speaking of Ling Jing, this ungrateful person, I'm sure my brother is afraid that she will punish her, but Concubine Hui was smart enough not to mention it. After all, she "shouldn't" know so much about what happened in Ling's house that afternoon. After all, the guards withdrew with Jue'er before the truth was revealed...
Only then did Chang Sun Jue come out from the inner room.
Concubine Hui sighed and sneered, "My brother is good at everything. He is invincible on the battlefield and can command thousands of troops without any omissions. But, no one is perfect. As long as it comes to family-related matters, his mind and heart will be confused. Many things are emotional, so he can't analyze the situation so rationally and calmly..."
Then he smiled again, "But this is also good, because I can calculate and control him completely. You see, your relationship with Ling Yanran is a done deal, and I am very grateful in my heart..."
"Mother is wise."
Concubine Hui just curled her lips and smiled again, and her mood finally improved.
Baili Feiyue and Su Yi had dinner outside and returned to Ling Mansion. Su Yi was still hesitant and hesitant, "Miss, do you really want to kneel in the ancestral hall? It's still very cold at night, and the ancestral hall is deserted. It's always gloomy all year round..."
"Kneel. Of course I have to kneel." The grace of giving birth and raising must be repaid!
"Miss……"
Before Su Yi could say anything, she heard a maid's panicked cry, "Madam Liu...Madam Liu is dead...She died suddenly!!"
The servants of the Ling Mansion, who had just suffered a great fright in the afternoon, had not yet recovered from their shock. When they heard this shout, their scalps went numb and they almost jumped up.
Madam Liu... is dead?
How many days had Mrs. Liu been promoted to a co-wife? How could she suddenly die of a disease? This, this...
However, that was not all. There was a commotion here, with people shouting that Madam Liu had suddenly died. The maid in Ling Yanran's yard also ran out in panic, "The Fifth Miss hanged herself!!"
Ling Sheng had just returned home from the palace when he was greeted by two huge "surprises".
Naturally, he didn't have time to go to the ancestral hall to see Baili Feiyue who was kneeling there.
Baili Feiyue is not very familiar with his own ancestral hall.
Except for the time when Ling Sheng was at home, she came with him to burn incense during festivals, but she basically never came. The main reason was that Li felt that she, a concubine's daughter, was not qualified to come. As long as Ling Sheng was not at home, even during the New Year's ancestor worship, Li could pretend to forget her existence.
Almost all the people in the mansion were from the Li family, so of course no one dared to gossip.
Those servants were eager to kill her and her mother, the two people whom the mistress of the house disliked, so as to please Li.
Now, Baili Feiyue was kneeling on the cold stone floor of the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall had been closed all year round and gave off a musty and cold stench. Baili Feiyue frowned. Sure enough, the ancestral hall was not a good place and she didn't like it at all.
Outside, you could hear the entire Ling Mansion was filled with noise, which didn't stop until midnight, and even continued in waves.
The specific location of Baili Feiyue's ancestral hall is too remote, so I didn't hear it clearly.
In short, the entire Ling Mansion was very noisy, except for her place, which was quiet and cold.
More than five years ago, her body suffered such a great injury. Even if her master's medical skills were superb, her body was still seriously injured. No matter how she tried to remedy it, she couldn't go back to the original state. She couldn't stand the cold. That was why she went to Qingfeng Mountain Hot Spring every seven days.
Now, Baili Feiyue felt a little cold.
As the night deepened, even the setting moon seemed to bring a bone-chilling chill.
But my mind was extremely clear.
The corners of Baili Feiyue's lips curled up in a disdainful arc.
Just kneel down.
When her knees began to ache from the cold, and the tendons in her limbs that had been severed and reconnected began to ache as if she had rheumatism when the weather changed, Baili Feiyue heard the sound of slow footsteps.
After a while, the heavy, musty door of the ancestral hall was pushed open. Baili Feiyue turned her head and saw Ling Duannian, dressed in lotus-colored clothes, standing in the moonlight, smiling at her with his eyes slightly narrowed.
The silver moonlight enveloped him, and his body was covered with the moonlight's brightness, giving his entire body a hazy glow.
Exquisite facial features, otherworldly, clear and beautiful.
As the night wind blew, he coughed twice, stepped in, and squatted down next to Baili Feiyue.
She stretched out her beautiful hand, held Baili Feiyue's wrist and rubbed it, "Sister's hands are so cold."
Baili Feiyue raised an eyebrow, "Why did you get out of bed? Are you looking for death by standing outside in the wind at this time?"
Ling Duannian raised his eyes to look at her, and suddenly smiled again, revealing two shallow and stunning dimples, as proud and cunning as a kitten, "You are still kneeling in the ancestral hall, and you are controlling me." He snorted, "Sister, aren't you very capable? Why, do you still have to kneel here obediently as punishment?"
"Do you want me to kill my father?"
Ling Duannian never let go of Baili Feiyue's hands. He rubbed her knees one by one with both hands, and said without raising his head, "You will be killing your father if you kneel down." The father-daughter relationship will be destroyed by this kneeling.
Baili Feiyue laughed softly and didn't respond to him.
Ling Duannian rubbed her knees and warmed her hands. He didn't say anything else. To be honest, Ling Duannian was not in good health, so her body was not warm. Although she was not cold, her temperature was lower than that of ordinary people.
After a busy period, Ling Duannian simply pulled a cushion and sat next to Baili Feiyue, still holding her hand. Although Baili Feiyue was his sister, she was a woman after all, and her hand could be completely held by Ling Duannian.
This way you can keep your hands warm without letting go of the temperature.
It was still very tempting and nostalgic, but Baili Feiyue pulled his hand back immediately.
He smiled faintly, "That's enough. If you don't do this, I will also treat you. No matter what happens in Ling Mansion, I will cure you."
