Chapter 498 Is it inconvenient?
Ling Tongzhi waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'll go find Doudou in a couple of days and tell him."
Mrs. Lu was relieved to see that he insisted on going to find Lu Dou. The two talked for a while before Ling Tongzhi left.
In fact, Ling Tongzhi was not as confident as he said, but he had to go see Ludou.
When Prince Jing handed Madam Lu to him, he made it very clear that they must get Lu Dou's consent before they could truly be together, and after Lu Dou agreed, he would hold a funeral for Madam Lu. From then on, there would only be Prince Jing and Lu Dou in Prince Jing's Mansion.
Ling Tongzhi has feelings for Madam Lu, so he naturally wants to get Lu Dou's advice. Therefore, he must go to see Lu Dou, but he has to think about how to meet him.
A few days later, when Jiang Hongyu was about to go home, he was stopped by Ling Tongzhi.
"Captain Jiang, are you going home?"
"Yes." Jiang Hongyu took a step back and became defensive.
Ling Tongzhi acted as if he hadn't noticed and continued, "Captain Jiang, I haven't been around here since I came to Linchang. I wonder if Captain Jiang would be so kind as to take me for a walk."
Jiang Hongyu said it was inconvenient in his heart, but he had to force a smile on his face: "I have only been in Linchang for a short time and have not been around Linchang yet."
"It doesn't matter. Since we are both not familiar with Linchang, we can just go for a walk and find out." After saying this, Ling Tongzhi strode out, and Jiang Hongyu had to follow him.
Ye Wu saw Jiang Hongyu from afar and wanted to come over to say hello, but when he saw them walking away together, he stopped.
After the two walked away, he heard from others that Ling Tongzhi and Jiang Hongyu were going to visit Linchang together. He thought that Ling Tongzhi must have come up with some new idea to torture Jiang Hongyu, so he hurriedly followed.
Ling Tongzhi and Jiang Hongyu entered the city. Not long after they left, Ling Tongzhi felt his stomach and looked at the sky. "It's almost dinner time. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to go to Captain Jiang's house for dinner."
Jiang Hongyu didn't expect Ling Tongzhi's purpose was to go to his house. He glanced at Ling Tongzhi subtly, and then said embarrassedly: "I didn't tell my family that I was going back for dinner today. I don't know if they will prepare my meal."
This is almost like saying it directly: I don’t have any food prepared at home, so it’s not convenient for you to go.
But Ling Tongzhi laughed as if he didn't understand. "What's the big deal? I'll have someone go to the restaurant and order a banquet to your house."
Without waiting for Jiang Hongyu to speak, he said to the attendants behind him, "Go to the largest restaurant and order a banquet. Have them send it to Captain Jiang's house."
Jiang Hongyu was now certain that Ling Tongzhi would definitely go to his house today, but he didn't know why.
Although he was very reluctant, Jiang Hongyu still took Ling Tongzhi to his home.
Ye Wu, who had been following behind several people, saw Ling Tongzhi's entourage walking in another direction. After a moment's thought, he followed them, pretending to meet them by chance, and put his arm around their shoulder. "Hey, Brother Tong, why are you here? Are you buying something for Ling Tongzhi?"
Tong Yi pointed to a restaurant not far away and said, "The Tongzhi asked me to order a banquet and send it to Captain Jiang's house."
Ye Wu was a little surprised: "Why did Ling Tongzhi think of going to Captain Jiang's house? It would be much more convenient to go directly to the restaurant to eat."
Tong Yi shook his head: "How would we know what's going on between adults? I won't say anymore. I'm going to go get some wine and food."
Ye Wu smiled and sent Tong Yi back to the restaurant before running home. He wanted to tell Ye Mingzhu that Ling Tongzhi was coming.
When Ye Mingzhu heard that Ling Tongzhi was coming, she subconsciously glanced at Luodou who was reading next to her.
Green Bean was also stunned. He frowned and asked, "Why did Ling Tongzhi think of coming home?"
Ye Wu couldn't figure this out, but he still reminded Ye Mingzhu that although Ling Tongzhi had ordered wine and food, the family couldn't just not prepare anything.
Ye Mingzhu also reacted. She called Yunniang and asked her to go to the kitchen to inform them to prepare more food for tonight and eat later.
When the food from the restaurant was delivered, Ye Mingzhu and her friends' dinner was also served.
Ye Mingzhu did not go to see Ling Tongzhi, but only asked Ye Wu to take Ye Yunan and Ludou to pay their respects.
When Luodou saw that Ling Tongzhi was indeed Uncle Ling, his face became tense.
Ling Tongzhi didn't pretend not to know him. Instead, he wanted to hug Ludou: "Doudou, do you still remember Uncle Ling?"
Ludou took a step back, dodging Ling Tongzhi's hand, and said coldly, "Meet General Ling."
Ling Tongzhi laughed out loud: "Hahaha, I'm not a general anymore, I'm Tongzhi now, but I will always be your Uncle Ling."
Luodou just nodded at Ling Tongzhi and didn't say much.
This reaction was beyond Ling Tongzhi's expectations. He thought that Lu Dou would be excited and angry, but he didn't expect Lu Dou's attitude to be cold.
"Xiaodouzi, have you forgotten Uncle Ling?" Ling Tongzhi remembered that Luodou hated being called Xiaodouzi the most. He would definitely get angry if he heard someone calling him that.
"Ling Tongzhi, I've grown up now. It's not appropriate for you to call me Little Bean anymore. You can call me Green Bean. Everyone calls me that." Green Bean acted very calmly, which made Ling Tongzhi feel uneasy.
The reason why he told Mrs. Lu that he wanted to see Ludou was because he felt that Ludou was easy to talk to and he could definitely coax Ludou. When Ludou was a child, he would go to see Ludou every time he went to the capital. Ludou especially loved listening to his stories about the border.
Why did Green Bean act so calm during this meeting?
At this moment, Ling Tongzhi believed what Mrs. Lu said. Green Bean had changed and grown a lot.
"Doudou, no matter how old you are, in Uncle Ling's eyes, you are still a child." Ling Tongzhi said this kindly, but Ludou didn't think so.
Jiang Hongyu felt that Lu Dou's attitude was problematic, but he felt sorry for Lu Dou and didn't want to get involved. He simply pulled Ye Yun'an, who wanted to watch the fun, over and said to Ling Tongzhi, "Ling Tongzhi, my brother-in-law and I will go get a jar of wine. You sit here for a while."
Ludou didn't want to be alone with Ling Tongzhi, so he walked over and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm going too."
Jiang Hongyu patted Ludou's head and said, "You stay here and talk to Ling Tongzhi. Yun An and I will be back soon."
Ling Tongzhi discovered another change in Ludou. He used to hate people touching his head the most, saying it was like touching a dog. But now, when Jiang Hongyu touched his head, he didn't show any sign of annoyance.
"Mung Bean, you have really changed." Ling Tongzhi couldn't help but sigh after Jiang Hongyu and Ye Yun'an left.
"I've grown up." Green Bean said lightly.
"Now that you've grown up, let's talk about our true feelings like two men." Ling Tongzhi straightened his attitude, causing a serious expression on Ludou's face.
"Green Bean, your mother has been very unhappy these years, did you know that?"
