As soon as Jiang Ling finished speaking, there was a noticeable silence at the dinner table.
He Zui's face turned cold in an instant.
She coughed twice and continued, "I have a small courtyard on Wuliu Street in the capital. It's very beautiful, full of flowers and plants. It's quiet there, and it's perfect for you to live there. I can also visit you from time to time."
Although she tried to speak in a playful way, He Zui remained silent.
Zhou Jing'an glanced at Jiang Ling, and seeing the disappointment on her face, he said, "Yes, Doctor He, since you live in the capital, we can visit you often."
Although Jiang Ling had not mentioned to him about taking He Zui back to the capital before coming, he understood that Jiang Ling was worried that He Zui would have no one to take care of him as he got older.
Jiang Ling turned her head to look at him, and the next second her hand was held in his palm.
She smiled and said to He Zui, "This way it will be much more convenient for me to trouble you."
Jiang Ling said this deliberately, "If I'm not feeling well, both me and the baby in my belly will have to trouble you."
Hearing her say this, everyone present frowned.
Zhou Jing'an held her hand even tighter, not wanting to hear her say that.
He Zui snorted lightly, "It's not a problem for me. There are so many capable doctors in the palace, how could it be my turn to save you?"
Jiang Ling tried to persuade him a few more times, but He Zui just wouldn't give in. There was nothing she could do but give in to him.
However, before leaving, Jiang Ling specifically left him the address of the small courtyard on Wuliu Street and told him how to get there, almost drawing a map.
After returning to the capital, she asked Zizhen to go to the courtyard and tell Uncle Wang and Aunt Liu that if He Zui came, they should send someone to inform her immediately, and also told them what He Zui looked like.
It was the hottest afternoon, and He Zui moved the recliner into the house. He lay leisurely on the recliner, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the note Jiang Ling had left for him before she left. On it was the address of her small courtyard.
They had been gone for a while, and the note had been there without him even touching it.
He didn't want to go back to Beijing, it was an inhumane place.
The girl said nice things in every word, saying she would take care of him.
By the time she gave birth to a child, she would be busy managing the house, taking care of the child, and interacting with the wives of officials. How could she care about an old man like him who was not her relative?
She is just sweet-talking and can deceive people.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He grabbed the note and was about to crumple it up.
The piece of paper instantly became wrinkled in his hand, but he stopped, hummed twice, unfolded it and took a look at it, and finally put it into the wooden box and neatly sandwiched it in his medical book.
Then he lay back on the recliner and soon fell asleep.
-
"When did Ling'er own a property on Wuliu Street?"
Zhou Jing'an had never heard her mention it before, so Jiang Ling casually said, "I bought it just because of the trend. I haven't lived in it much, so it's been empty all this time."
She glanced at Zhou Jing'an twice and told him that Wanran had lived there, so as to avoid being instigated by others in the future. If he found out from others or found out accidentally, it would be difficult to explain and easy to be misunderstood.
"When we rescued Wanran, we placed him there. Later, he went to Yunwu Peak for treatment, and it has been empty ever since."
Zhou Jing'an was stunned, and a word suddenly popped up in his mind.
A beautiful woman in a golden house.
The dusty jealousy instantly began to evaporate its sourness, making him feel like his heart was bubbling with sour water.
"Oh, I see."
Although his reaction was calm, the words "I'm jealous" were clearly written on his face.
Jiang Ling laughed, "Are you jealous too?"
"I didn't even know Ling'er had this place, but he had already lived there."
In order to make him feel more balanced, Jiang Ling said, "Not only you, my parents don't know either, and my brother doesn't know either."
But once she said this, it would definitely backfire.
Sure enough, Zhou Jing'an felt even more unbalanced when he heard this.
No one knows that it is Ling'er's secret base.
But Wanran knew that he still lived there!
Zhou Jing'an seemed to be jealous, and the grievance in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.
"...Then he is the only one in the world who knows about Ling'er's courtyard."
......After he said that, it seemed to be true.
"Ahem, well, actually, that little courtyard isn't really a secret. It's nothing special."
Jiang Ling hurried to smooth things over, but seeing that he was still frowning, as if he could pinch a fly to death, she directly ordered Zizhen to show her the way to Wuliu Street.
She raised her hand and poked his puffy cheek, saying with a smile, "You are drinking this kind of aged vinegar too."
Seeing Zhou Jing'an about to turn away, Jiang Ling quickly waved her hands: "Stop talking, stop talking."
"I'll take you there now."
The carriage turned around and drove directly to Wuliu Street.
As Jiang Ling said, there are few people here and it is quiet. There are only a few pedestrians walking here, most of them are farmers from the surrounding area. The scene is peaceful and harmonious.
Zhou Jing'an didn't say anything, but secretly looked at the surrounding environment.
Zizhen took two steps forward and knocked on the door. It was Aunt Liu who opened the door.
"Oh, the young lady is here?"
At this time, Uncle Wang also ran over, poked her, and quietly corrected her, "You should call her Princess."
Aunt Liu reacted and changed her words with a smile: "Yes, Princess, Princess."
Jiang Ling hasn't been here since she was named Princess Yunxi.
She walked in with a smile, "Thank you for taking care of it."
He turned back and pulled Zhou Jingan, "Come in and take a look at my little yard. It's beautiful."
