Mrs. Li was a little exhausted from having been guarding all night, so Ling Yanran helped her go back to rest.
Returning to his place, Li pressed his temples, "Headache."
Ling Yanran took the opportunity to massage her temples, "Mom is just getting better now. She must be uncomfortable after not sleeping all night."
"As long as the master can completely get rid of Ling Jing, that little bitch, everything will be worth it." He added, "By the way, I haven't had a chance to ask you how the spring hunt will go?"
Ling Yanran lowered her eyes, her eyes full of hatred, "She was lucky. The Regent showed up out of nowhere, and Her Royal Highness the Princess just happened to say something outrageous, which angered the Regent. The Regent cut off Her Royal Highness the Princess's tongue..."
"What!" Li was shocked. "What's going on?"
Ling Yanran just repeated the important points.
Li frowned, "Are you sure that the Regent took action because the Princess angered him? He didn't do it on purpose to help that little bitch Ling Jing?"
Ling Yanran sneered disdainfully, "Mother, you think too highly of Ling Jing. Who is she? How did she get to know the regent who few people have seen? Princess Ningyang is so favored, and as a royal princess, she also met the regent for the first time yesterday!"
She laughed sarcastically again, "Ling Jing, why? You must say that the Regent has a relationship with Ling Jing. I guess the Regent has also heard about Ling Jing's relationship with the Divine Doctor of Futu Pavilion and wants to follow her path. Even if Ling Jing helps, how can Ling Jing get away with getting involved with such a cruel and ruthless person? In short, mother doesn't have to worry about this at all."
Li nodded, "I feel relieved now."
"The only thing that my daughter couldn't think of during this spring hunting was that I had originally planned to bring Ling Jing to show up, so that those who couldn't get medical treatment would hate her and Princess Ningyang would also become her enemy. With our subsequent arrangements, we could put her to death in front of Dad. But the unexpected appearance of the Regent completely disrupted my plan! And I also lost Princess Ningyang, the chess piece that I had finally caught!"
Li comforted her, "Forget it, as long as everything goes well, that little bitch won't be able to turn things around!"
At this time, an old lady came in.
He lowered his head and replied, "Madam, as you expected, the master went to Qingfeng Pavilion. I couldn't follow him in, and I don't know what they talked about. I only saw the master came out after a while, and his face didn't look good."
"Got it. Let's go down."
After the old nanny left, Li looked at Ling Yanran, "Yan'er, you calculated it exactly."
Ling Yanran's fingers did not stop massaging Li, with a hint of madness in her eyes, "Dad will definitely go. However, Ling Jing will definitely refuse to help find the divine doctor from Futu Pavilion."
The mother and daughter were talking when, after a while, a nanny brought Aunt Lan in.
Before Aunt Lan could speak, Li frowned and asked, "Why are you here at this time when you are not in your own yard guarding Xue'er?"
Aunt Lan's eyes were still a little red and swollen, "Madam, the master has already gone to find Ling Jing. Looking at the master's attitude, Ling Jing also refused to help. Can we..."
"Can't."
"Madam?" Aunt Lan's eyes turned red again, "We have achieved our goal. I really can't bear to see Xue'er continue to suffer."
"It's not enough." Li said expressionlessly.
"But Xue'er..."
"The master has returned home and will not leave for a short time. Lan Mei, you are still very young. If you can give birth to a son for the master..."
Aunt Lan was not a stupid person. When she realized what was happening, her pupils widened and her lips trembled.
"Madam, what do you mean..."
"Do I need to explain? Lan Mei, you shouldn't be the kind of fool who needs to explain everything. This matter is not bad for you. As long as you grasp it properly, it will be easy to keep the master with you. What? Are you hesitating? Lan Mei, don't forget that your entire mother's family needs your identity as the concubine of the general's mansion to support you. If you lose this identity..."
Aunt Lan began to tremble all over.
Why didn't she think...
Why didn’t she think of it!!!
Li is going to give up her Xue'er from the very beginning!
Two days passed in a flash, and Ling Xueer's deadline, as predicted by the imperial physician, was getting closer and closer.
In the past two days, all the famous doctors in Kyoto have been consulted, but no one can help.
In just two days, Ling Xueer almost turned into a skeleton!
On the third day, even if he didn't say it on the surface, Ling Sheng knew in his heart that his daughter could not be saved.
Just like his children who died in the womb or shortly after birth due to various illnesses.
Aunt Lan stayed with Ling Xueer like a zombie for two days and two nights without saying a word.
On the third morning, she said to the maid who was on night watch outside, "Go and ask Madam to come over. Tell her that I have something important to tell you."
After the maid took the order and left, she called another maid and gave her some instructions.
Half a minute later, Li came in. "Where are the people in your room? There's no one guarding outside?"
"I have something to tell you, Madam. I will send all the servants away." Aunt Lan said in a haggard voice.
Li sat down on the chair and glanced at the ghostly Aunt Lan. "Go ahead."
Aunt Lan moved her lips, as if in her final struggle, "Madam, is there really no way to have the best of both worlds?"
Li sneered, "You've lived such a long time, there are not so many good things in this world that can be achieved at the same time."
"Madam, Xue'er is still so young, she is only fifteen years old... I really can't bear it..."
"How short-sighted! She is just a little girl. Her death can win the master's pity for you for a lifetime! I also said that if you work harder and give birth to the only boy for this general's mansion, you will be able to get whatever you want by then! By then, your status will not be what this little girl can bring you!"
"Madam... She, she is my own flesh and blood after all!!"
"Hehe, are you playing with family affection at this time? You're pregnant with more than one child. You were too weak to keep the other one before, and you even used his death to the fullest?" Seeing that she was stubborn, Li didn't hesitate.
In her eyes, Lan was just a dog who dared not disobey his master. She did not need to consider the feelings of a dog who came up to please her.
Aunt Lan's already pale face was even more bloodless, "Madam, that thing back then...but, but it was also your order!"
"You are happy about it, aren't you? You hated that Gu, your aunt, always put you first in everything, so you put the blame for the miscarriage on her. Didn't you achieve your goal? Think about it, you lost a child that you couldn't keep and would have miscarried sooner or later. You got rid of Gu, the thorn in your side, and got the master's pity, and now you have Ling Xue'er! Think about it carefully!"
"Madam, you can't leave Xue'er behind no matter what..."
Li couldn't bear to see Aunt Lan's sudden soft-heartedness, and said scornfully, "I'm not afraid to tell you directly that the medicine I gave you has no antidote at all. The imperial physician was right about this, Ling Xue'er won't survive today!" She added coldly, "Fortunately, I guessed early on that at the last moment, your ridiculous feelings of being a mother might emerge, and I cut off your retreat from the beginning. Useless thing!"
This news made Aunt Lan almost unable to stand, and she staggered and bumped into the bedpost behind her.
"Madam...you...you are so cruel..."
"Don't make yourself sound so innocent. I gave you the medicine, but you fed it to her, didn't you? That's enough! Someone might come to your place any moment, so there's no need to say any more! I'm leaving, just accompany her for the last time..."
Aunt Lan suddenly burst into laughter, which was a look of despair and hopelessness.
Li frowned, "What's wrong?"
"Yes, ma'am, I'm crazy... You want to kill my daughter! You want to kill her!" He laughed, "Ma'am, you can't leave... Hehehe, you can't leave..."
A murderous look flashed across Li's eyes. "It seems like you don't want to live anymore. You're talking nonsense!"
"Hahahahaha~! Li, look who they are!"
Aunt Lan frantically pulled open the heavy screen. Behind the screen...
There stood Ling Sheng, who was as powerful as thunder and lightning, and Baili Feiyue, who had a calm expression on her face!
At that moment, Li's mind was blank, roaring, and there was nothing.
She couldn't hear herself making a sound, or maybe she did, "Master..."
"Poisonous woman!"
Ling Sheng doesn't hit ordinary women, but the bitch in front of him is no ordinary woman at all! !
Li was kicked and flew away, hitting the wall with a bang, and fell down again, vomiting blood immediately.
Ling Sheng's eyes were bloodshot and he was filled with murderous intent.
His fingers were shaking with anger. He had never expected that such a horrific thing and such a cruel and vicious person would happen in his house!
I thought it was just a little jealousy among women!
But his hands were already stained with blood, and the person he murdered was Ling Sheng's own flesh and blood! !
He walked towards Li, and every step he took was like a death knell on Li!
Looking down at her from a high position, even a glance at her makes her eyes dirty!
Li's mind was numb. She couldn't say anything and couldn't do anything. She seemed not to notice the pain from being kicked.
Ling Sheng drew out his sword, his eyes were cold and murderous, "Poisonous woman, today I will use your blood to sacrifice to my son!"
"father!"
Ling Yanran, who seemed to be visiting the patient, rushed in and stretched out her hand to grab the sword that Ling Sheng was about to swing down. Blood immediately flowed from her palm.
"Dad, what are you going to do?" She opened her eyes wide in horror, not caring about her injured hand, and seemed in disbelief.
"Ask her! Ask this vicious woman what she did!"
Ling Sheng did not withdraw his sword because Ling Yanran was holding it, so he did not use any more force.
Ling Yanran turned to Li and asked anxiously, "Mom, what happened? Please speak up! Did you do something wrong to make Dad angry? Mom!"
Reaching out a hand to push Li, Ling Yanran burst into tears, "Mom!! Dad has already used a knife, what did you do, tell me!! Mom!!"
Where Ling Sheng couldn't see, he pinched Li hard.
Li, who had just lost all his mind due to the sudden appearance of Ling Sheng and Baili Feiyue, was pinched back to his senses.
…He looked blankly into Ling Yanran’s tearful eyes. Yes, yes.
She also has two wonderful daughters!!
Master can't take her life!!
Ling Sheng didn't see it, but Baili Feiyue, who had been standing aside and watching the show silently, saw it.
Speaking of poison, Ling Yanran is the real poison.
If she said that she, the fifth sister, had no knowledge of this matter and had no involvement, she would not believe it even if she was beaten to death. But just now, Ling Yanran kept saying "Mom, what did you do?"
Tsk tsk…
