The Zhang family's speed was unexpectedly fast.
On the morning of the second day after Ji Tingyou taught Zhang Shisheng a lesson, Zhang Ying and his wife went to the residence of Li Daxueshi to apologize with various valuable gifts.
In the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, the old lady continued, "The Zhang family said they were unaware of Zhang Shisheng's homosexuality, and that Zhang Shisheng suddenly admitted it yesterday. They feel deeply guilty for almost ruining Li Linglong's life, and in addition to the gifts they brought, they also paid tens of thousands of silver notes as compensation... However, Linglong suggested returning the notes..."
Su Li did not comment on this.
In the original novel, Zhang Ying and his wife already knew that Zhang Shisheng was a homosexual when he was fifteen years old. Now they said this, probably to reduce the anger of Li Daxueshi's mansion.
Fortunately, Li Linglong was not really harmed, so Su Li made a big deal out of it and did not intend to expose the matter.
Ji Tingyou, however, was still furious: "Why do you want to return the banknote? My cousin is too kind. Humph! From now on, if Zhang Shisheng still wants to conceal the truth and propose marriage to someone else, I will disrupt him every time I see him!"
He still remembers how sad his cousin was when he went to tell his great aunt that day.
Whenever he thought of his cousin's tearful face and her expression that she never wanted to get married, he felt extremely uncomfortable. Even today, he still felt depressed.
Su Li glanced at him and couldn't help but feel gossipy in her heart.
Tsk tsk! Has Ji Tingyou finally come to his senses? Could something be going on between him and Li Linglong? Otherwise, why would he be so angry? He wouldn't be like this towards Pei Mingyue.
The old lady looked at Ji Tingyou in surprise. Her grandson was not the kind of person who would hold on to things, and the matter had already been resolved, so why was he still brooding over it?
After thinking about it, she had to attribute this to the fact that Linglong was his cousin. After all, he and Linglong had a good relationship since childhood.
She said with a smile, "You don't have to be like this. After all, Linglong didn't get engaged to him, so she didn't lose anything."
"That's all because of Sister Su. If Sister Su hadn't discovered that something was wrong with Zhang Shisheng, my cousin would have been tricked into jumping into the fire pit."
“…” The old lady was stunned and didn’t know what to say. After all, what he said did make sense.
"Grandma, Sister Su, you two can chat while I go to my aunt's house."
"What are you going to do?"
Ji Tingyou walked towards the door and said, "Let's go see how my cousin is doing."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.
"This child," the old lady said with a helpless smile, "has had a good relationship with Linglong since childhood, hehe..."
Su Li didn't say much, just laughed along.
At the same time, in the residence of Grand Secretary Li.
Li Linglong sat at the desk reading a book, but she didn't notice that she was chuckling from time to time and didn't concentrate on the content of the book at all.
"Girl, is there something funny in the book? Why are you laughing all the time?"
The maid couldn't help but ask curiously.
This morning, the girl was sometimes dazed while reading, and sometimes giggled secretly. She seemed to be in a good mood, just like yesterday.
Li Linglong was stunned for a moment, then she remembered Ji Tingyou's bewildered look when he tried to comfort her, and she couldn't help but laugh again: "Yeah, very funny..."
When she learned that Zhang Shisheng was a homosexual and that there was no possibility of engagement between them, she was originally in a very good mood. After all, in the eyes of her parents, Zhang Shisheng, known as a talented man, was a perfect match for her. But in her heart, she did not like him at all, and she was extremely happy that they could not be engaged.
In fact, she originally wanted to confess to her parents, but she didn't expect that such a thing would happen before she could do so.
Ji Tingyou came to see her later, looking worried. At that moment, she suddenly had a plan in mind and pretended to be sad and cried...
Maybe he has her in his heart? Even just a little bit...
The maid blinked her eyes. It seemed that the girl was not unhappy about the incident with the young master of the Zhang family. "But young lady, you have been looking at that page all morning."
Is that page really that funny? Can it make you laugh for that long?
Li Linglong looked at the book in her hand without turning a page and couldn't help laughing. She closed the book, prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone to practice calligraphy.
"Miss," another maid came in from outside, "your cousin is here to see you."
Li Linglong's eyes lit up: "But Tingyou?"
"It's Master Tingyou."
"Let him in quickly..."
When he entered the study and saw Li Linglong looking at him with a smile, Ji Tingyou was a little overwhelmed.
My cousin seemed to be in a much better mood, and she looked really pretty when she smiled.
His mood also improved, and the feeling of anger and annoyance in his heart disappeared. He smiled and said, "Cousin, what are you doing?"
"Prepare to practice calligraphy."
"I'll accompany you."
"Don't you like reading and writing?"
Ji Tingyou raised his chin: "Who said I want to practice calligraphy?"
"Um?"
"Let me grind ink for you. How does that saying go? Uh, red sleeves add fragrance! Oh, no, I'm a man, so it should be blue sleeves adding fragrance."
“…”
"good……"
