Chapter 21 Too Unruly
How could Ruan Yiyu, Ling Xueyao and Ling Xuehui not know what Ling Yu said.
But... Ling Chan's fiancé is King Huai.
If Ling Chan married at this time, she could only marry King Huai.
This is not what they want to see.
"Alright, stop giving me advice." Ruan Yiyu tapped Ling Yu on the head. "I see you're quite energetic now, so why do you get a headache just talking about studying?"
"Your father is back. I can't control you. Let's see how your father controls you."
Ling Yu shrank his neck, "Mom, then I will go to school tomorrow. You, don't tell Dad."
He is currently studying at the Imperial Academy, and his classmates are all children of ministers who hold similar official positions to Ling Rui.
Even though Ling Yu is the most popular young master in the mansion, he is not well-received in the Imperial Academy.
Because Ling Rui was away from the capital for most of the year and had not won any battles in recent years, he was not favored by the emperor.
Those ministers' sons and daughters, which one of them is not a shrewd person? Each one of them knows how to judge people and treat them in a certain way.
Therefore, Ling Yu did not like going to the Imperial College and often used being unwell as an excuse to not study.
Ruan Yiyu sincerely hopes that Ling Yu can study hard and pursue his own career in the future.
But every time her son cried and begged, she couldn't help but soften her heart.
"Mom, I..." Ling Yu rubbed his head and used the same trick again, "I have a headache..."
"Last time I accidentally fell into the water, it was so cold... Mom..."
Ruan Yiyu glanced at him.
"It was that damn girl Ling Chan who pushed me." Ling Yu quickly changed his words.
"Okay, your father needs to rest for a while, so let's not disturb him here." Ruan Yiyu took the children out.
"Qu Lian, go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare a few more of the general's favorite dishes. Today we will dine together as a family as usual."
"Also go and inform Ling Chan and ask her to dine with you."
"Mom, why let her join us?" Ling Xueyao was the first to object. "We've always eaten together as a family."
"It's your father's idea."
When Qu Lian came to inform Ling Chan, Ling Chan was also quite surprised.
He just got humiliated by her, and yet he invited her to dinner with him. Wouldn't they feel uncomfortable?
Of course she was happy to go, since she wasn't the one who was annoyed.
"Okay, go tell my stepmother that I will definitely go, but don't forget to cook a few more dishes that I like."
"If the dishes don't suit my taste, I'll get angry."
Qu Lian smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I will definitely tell Madam."
After hearing Qu Lian's retelling, Ruan Yiyu was so angry that she smashed the teacup.
But he could only ask the kitchen to add a few more dishes that Ling Chan liked.
It was soon lunch time, and Ling Chan checked the surveillance cameras in the city before leaving.
She saw Hongdou was already on her way back, followed by Lowe, two women, and several servants.
"Miss, do you want us to accompany you?" Gong Lan and Gong Yu were worried about her going alone.
Ling Chan waved her hand, "No, I can handle it."
These days, when she has nothing to do, she goes into the equipment warehouse to improve her equipment.
The thing she was wearing at the moment... not only ensured her safety, but also allowed her to kill without being noticed...
So what is she afraid of?
"Anko will be back soon. When she gets back, go to the kitchen and get lunch."
After Ling Chan finished her instructions, she slowly walked towards Ruan Yiyu's yard.
When she arrived, Ling Rui, Ruan Yiyu and their three children were already seated.
Ling Rui sat in the main seat, next to him was Ruan Yiyu, and on the other side was Ling Yu.
Next to Ruan Yiyu is Ling Xueyao, and next to Ling Yu is Ling Xuehui.
There was another seat that happened to be facing Ling Rui, so Ling Chan sat down directly.
"How rude." Ling Xueyao muttered softly.
Ling Chan turned her head to look at her, "You want to tell me the rules?"
Ling Xueyao looked at Ling Rui, "Father and mother are here, and you just sit down without even being polite. Isn't that rude?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Rui looked at Ling Chan with dissatisfaction.
Ling Chan didn't even glance at him. She simply gathered her sleeves and snorted disdainfully, "Courtesy... If you say so, then there are some formalities you have to follow."
"This lady... seems to have the title of Princess..."
"What? A third-rank general... and his female relatives... don't have to salute the princess?"
"Isn't this too rude?" Ling Chan looked at Ling Xueyao meaningfully.
Ling Xueyao's face froze...
The others were also stunned.
The late emperor personally conferred the title of Princess Wanyue on Ling Chan, and set her rank as the first rank, the same as that of the princesses of the royal family. Ling Rui's military rank of General Pingbei was the third rank.
According to this logic, he really needs to salute Ling Chan.
In fact, even a first-rank minister in the court would politely salute when meeting a first-rank princess.
Because the princess has a royal family behind her.
For example, Princess Anping Xiao Lingqiu, the daughter of Prince Duan Xiao Yan, and Princess Anhe Xiao Wan, the daughter of Prince Cheng Xiao Ping.
"Come on." Ling Chan raised her hand to signal them to quickly pay their respects. "Hurry up and finish your respects so we can eat. This princess is hungry."
Just now I was calling myself this young lady, but now I’ve changed my name to this princess...
Ling Chan also admired herself for being able to change roles so quickly.
"Ling Chan!" Ling Rui's expression changed with anger, "This is the Ling Mansion!"
Ling Chan pretended not to understand, "Oh? In the Ling Mansion... the princess is no longer a princess?"
"Then if the emperor comes, he will have to pay his respects to you, the master of the Ling Mansion, right?"
"Does the Emperor know about this?"
Ling Rui was stunned. Is this what he meant?
Ling Chan pointed at Ling Xueyao and said, "Ling Rui, I didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose."
"It's your good daughter who started the trouble. If you want to blame someone, just blame her."
Ling Xueyao looked at Ling Chan in astonishment. She didn't expect that she would dare to speak to Ling Rui like that. This... this was too outrageous.
Ling Chan slapped the table after she finished speaking, "Hurry up! This princess's patience is running out."
Seeing her so arrogant, Ling Rui immediately became furious. He picked up the bowl on the table and threw it at Ling Chan.
He is a man and a general who has fought on the battlefield for many years, so his strength is obvious.
The empty bowl came flying towards Ling Chan's face, and it seemed that she couldn't avoid it.
But in the blink of an eye, Ling Chan took action.
She bent two fingers, actually hiding the laser ring under her thumb, and lightly flicked her fingers towards the empty bowl coming towards her, taking the opportunity to shoot out the laser. The empty bowl shattered into more than a dozen pieces and fell on the empty table in front of Ling Chan with a clang.
Ling Xueyao and Ling Xuehui were so scared that they stood up and took a few steps back.
Ling Rui also looked at Ling Chan in disbelief, "You, you know Kung Fu?"
When Ruan Yiyu asked him before, he swore that Ling Chan didn't know kung fu. Unexpectedly, not only did she know it, but it seemed that she was quite skilled!
"Did they teach you Kung Fu?!"
