Chapter 175 A Visitor from the Duke of Rong's Mansion
Wen Ling understood the Eighth Princess's feelings: "It's easy to understand. You just suffered an unexpected disaster. It's not that you still have feelings for Bai Mo. You just need some time to get over it.
This kind of thing will also damage your vitality, and you need to take care of yourself before you can get better. ”
The Eighth Princess nodded: "That's right. After all, this is just like a serious illness. The illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like pulling a thread."
"By the way," she seemed to have remembered something interesting and asked curiously, "I heard that on the day of my birthday party, you went to the Duke of Rong's Mansion behind my house after the party. You wanted to visit me but were kicked out. Did you find anything special?"
Speaking of this, Wen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly: "It is indeed a bit interesting. I didn't expect that there is such a place in the capital."
"What kind of place is it? Is there any difference between the Duke Rong's Mansion?" The Eighth Princess was interested.
Seeing the gossipy look on the Eighth Princess' face, Wen Ling mercilessly pressed her head and turned her head to the other side: "Your fate was fragile to begin with, and your vitality was severely damaged. That Bai Mo was originally your demise.
Now that you have finally escaped death, the most important thing to do is to be honest. These are not things you should know.
Be careful with your fragile body, you may have nightmares after knowing too many things! “
After hearing this, the Eighth Princess shrank her neck and said nothing more. She felt very weak right now, and these were definitely not something that a fragile person like her should be concerned about.
"Besides," Wen Ling suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door, "Calculating the time, I think the Duke Rong's Mansion will send someone to look for me soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and the Eighth Princess shuddered all over.
The voice of the chief steward of the Wanshiwu came from outside: "Princess Chen, someone from the Rongguo Mansion is outside asking to see you."
The eighth princess suddenly turned her head and looked at Wen Ling, her eyes seemed to say, damn, you are amazing.
At the same time, goose bumps appeared on her back layer by layer.
Wen Ling said to the outside: "Let him in."
She stood up and raised her eyebrows at the Eighth Princess: "Do you still want to follow me to watch the fun?"
The Eighth Princess shook her head subconsciously: "No, no, I still feel a little weak, I'd better go home and have a good rest."
Then the Eighth Princess stuffed the donation receipt in Wen Ling's name into Wen Ling's hand and left as if a dog was chasing her.
The moment the donation receipt was placed in Wen Ling's hand, another ray of golden light penetrated into Wen Ling's forehead.
Wen Ling raised an eyebrow, wondering where the Eighth Princess donated the money to. She gained quite a lot of merit.
Under the guidance of the shopkeeper of Wanshiwu, the people from the Rongguo Mansion came to the inner room and saw Wen Ling sitting in front of the desk.
Wen Ling looked up and was a little surprised. She had thought that the people coming would be some elderly housekeepers or nannies, but she didn't expect that the person who came in would be a young boy of just fifteen or sixteen years old.
The young boy looks fierce, but he does not give people a fierce feeling. He has the appearance of a Rakshasa in the temple, with a cruel face but a kind heart. His fierce appearance is to scare away evil spirits.
The young boy was originally on guard, but the moment he came in and saw Wen Ling, his eyes suddenly froze.
He almost subconsciously muttered to himself: "Such a strong golden light..."
Wen Ling put down the brush she was using to draw the talisman, and looked at the young boy with some interest. She smiled and asked, "Can you see the golden light on me? Are you... born with open eyes?"
The young boy walked straight up to Wen Ling and kowtowed to her.
The hits were so strong that his forehead instantly became red and swollen.
Wen Ling quickly walked around the desk and helped him up: "If you have anything to say, please get up and talk properly. Don't kowtow like that."
The young boy said with red eyes: "My grandfather told me that ordinary people have green light, bad people have red light, evil people have black light, and only capable and kind people have golden light.
I have never seen such a strong golden light on you, Princess. This shows that you must be a very powerful and good person!
Please save our Rongguo Mansion. Our Rongguo Mansion will soon...will soon become a hell on earth! “
Seeing that he refused to get up, Wen Ling said helplessly, "Since I came to your house that day to check it out, it was to solve your problems. I will not ignore it. You get up first and let's have a good chat. I need to understand the situation in your house first."
After hearing what Wen Ling said, the young boy stood up from the ground.
Wen Ling asked him to sit down, but he refused to do so, nor did he drink his tea. He insisted on standing aside as a servant, answering Wen Ling's questions and telling her what he knew about the Rongguo Mansion.
From the questions and answers and the young boy's narration, Wen Ling roughly understood the current situation of the Duke of Rong's Mansion, which was actually not much different from what she had imagined.
It turns out that the young boy is Zhao Lingji. He is the grandson of the old steward Zhao in the Rongguo Mansion. His parents have passed away, and he grew up with his grandfather.
His grandfather had wandered around the world in his early years and learned a lot of strange and unorthodox skills. Once, when he was infected with the plague and waiting to die on the roadside, he was rescued by Duke Rong who was passing by. After he was given herbal medicine to drink and recovered, he worked for Duke Rong and finally became the housekeeper of Zhao.
When Zhao Lingji was born, the Rongguo Mansion had already fallen into decline. His father died of illness before he was born, and his mother suffered a hemorrhage while giving birth to him. She gave birth to Zhao Lingji with her last breath and then passed away on the spot.
He was raised by his grandfather since he was a child. It was also when he was a child that his grandfather discovered that he was different from other children. He had a pair of divine eyes that were more powerful than the Yin-Yang eyes.
His grandfather taught Zhao Lingji all he had learned in his life.
Zhao Lingji also discovered the difference of the Duke of Rong's Mansion since he was a child. In the entire mansion, except for him, no one could step out of the mansion.
There seemed to be an invisible wall in the Duke's Mansion, trapping everyone inside except him.
As he grew up, he even discovered that those people in the Rongguo Mansion who lived like normal people didn't seem to be human either...
Because he grew up in that environment, Zhao Lingji didn't feel scared. After discovering the abnormality, he asked his grandfather.
His grandfather simply covered his mouth, shook his head slightly, and warned him in a very low voice: "Don't say anything, don't say anything, just live a normal life as if you don't know anything. When you grow up, leave here and never come back."
Only then did Zhao Lingji feel a little scared, and he realized that the Rongguo Mansion was different.
