Chapter 499 Still Needs to Think
Of course Green Bean knew it, but everyone in Prince Jing's Mansion was in trouble, so Green Bean didn't say anything for a while.
Ling Tongzhi continued to speak to himself, "Your mother is still young. She used to be a woman who could ride a horse and gallop across the frontier, but now, she can only be trapped in the backyard, enduring day by day, and she doesn't even have anyone to talk to."
Ludou looked at Ling Tongzhi quietly, asking him to swallow the next words.
"Ludou, your mother is still young. I have already mentioned this to Prince Jing, and he agreed, but we still want to ask for your opinion. Don't worry, not only will your mother love you in the future, but I will love you even more."
Ling Tongzhi looked at Lu Dou nervously and licked his dry lips. "Dou Dou, do you agree?"
"Did my grandfather agree?" This was the first thing Green Bean asked.
"Prince Jing asked me to ask for your opinion." Ling Tongzhi hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
"Does my opinion matter?" Green Bean had an expression on his face that looked like he was about to cry but not cry.
"Important, of course it's important!" Ling Tongzhi nodded heavily. "Originally, I agreed with your mother that I would discuss this with you when I arrived in Linchang, but your mother has been here for so long and has been reluctant to tell you. Your mother cares about you very much."
Green Bean lowered his head, his voice a little muffled: "If my mother marries you, will I be motherless?"
"No, if your mother marries me, your mother and I will love you together." Ling Tongzhi said loudly.
"No," Luodou raised his head suddenly, "I know that if my mother marries you, the wife of the prince in Prince Jing's mansion will die of illness."
When Luodou said this, tears fell from his eyes. He felt sorry for his mother, but he didn't want to be a motherless child.
"I'm sorry," Ling Tongzhi said. There was nothing he could do to change this matter. The emperor certainly couldn't have a wife who remarried. "But your mother and I will do our best to treat you well. I applied to be transferred to Linchang when I knew you were there. If nothing unexpected happens, your mother and I will stay in Linchang and accompany you as you grow up."
Green Bean remained silent. Ling Tongzhi didn't force him. He said with some difficulty, "Doudou, if you don't want to, then wait a little longer. Think about it first."
Only then did Ludou look at Ling Tongzhi seriously, wanting to know whether he was sincere or not.
But Ling Tongzhi just looked at him calmly, with a serious look on his face.
"Will you have a wedding with my mother?" Green Bean suddenly said.
Ling Tongzhi was delighted, but his expression remained unchanged. He shook his head and said, "I asked your mother, and she felt that with her status, she didn't need a wedding, but I still want to give her a wedding."
Green Bean felt sorry for her mother. When she got married for the first time, her husband was in poor health, so some steps were omitted. When she got married again, she had to keep it simple because of her status.
"Don't worry, Doudou. No matter what happens, I will always be good to your mother." Ling Tongzhi said as if he was swearing.
"Let me think about it." Luodou still couldn't bring himself to agree to his mother remarrying. He was afraid that if he said it, he would be without a mother.
Ling Tongzhi didn't embarrass him, but instead changed the subject and asked about his boxing skills and whether he practiced every day.
"Of course, I practice every day. My sister said that Uncle Yan will come back in a while and he will definitely check on me." Green Bean's eyes became more lively when he said this.
Ling Tongzhi pinched Ludou's arm and said with a smile, "You look a little stronger than before. I'll get you a medicinal bath recipe tomorrow. You can soak in it every time after practicing boxing. It's very good for your health."
Ling Tongzhi is also from a family of martial arts, and these recipes are not passed on to outsiders. He now almost treats Lu Dou as his own son and is willing to give them out.
Luodou also knew what was right and wrong, so he stood up and thanked Ling Tongzhi.
At this time, Jiang Hongyu brought Ye Yunan in from outside. Ling Tongzhi paused and changed the subject.
The wine that Jiang Hongyu brought was drunk by Jiang Hongyu and Ling Tongzhi. Ye Yunan and Luodou wanted to mix a bowl of wine, but were rejected.
Green Bean secretly took Jiang Hongyu's wine glass and took a sip. The spicy taste made his whole body shiver. Jiang Hongyu snatched the glass back: "You are still young. Wait a few years before drinking."
Ling Tongzhi also started to tease Ludou. For a while, the dinner table was filled with laughter and no one asked Ling Tongzhi the purpose of his visit.
After drinking, Ling Tongzhi was sent back to the military camp by Ye Wu. Jiang Hongyu returned to the backyard drunk. He went to wash up before returning to his room.
Ye Mingzhu smelled the faint smell of alcohol in the damp air and poured him a glass of water: "Drink a cup of hot water first. I'll ask the kitchen to make some hangover soup and bring you a bowl."
Jiang Hongyu shook his head and said no, he didn’t drink much. In fact, he didn’t like the taste of the hangover soup.
Ye Mingzhu saw through his thoughts immediately. She smiled and said, "Although this hangover soup that Mom made doesn't taste very good, it's very effective. You can't not drink it."
Isn't that a good thing? It's so strong that even the most drunken feeling disappears after drinking it.
Jiang Hongyu knew that Ye Mingzhu meant well, and although he didn't want to drink it, he still gritted his teeth and drank it.
"What on earth is Ling Tongzhi doing here today?" Ye Mingzhu waited until Jiang Hongyu was a little more sober before asking.
"Ling Tongzhi wants to marry Ludou's mother and comes to ask Ludou's opinion."
"What? How old is Luodou? Why is Ling Tongzhi asking Luodou these questions?" Ye Mingzhu felt a little sorry for Luodou and wanted to go and see how he was doing.
"Ludou and Yun'an have gone to bed. You don't have to go. I'll talk to Ludou tomorrow." Jiang Hongyu held Ye Mingzhu and rubbed her head. "Ling Tongzhi said that Ludou's mother had a hard life. I think Ludou agrees."
"Ludou had no intention of opposing them, but it's a bit too much for them to ask a child these things." Ye Mingzhu said dissatisfiedly.
"I heard from Ling Tongzhi that this should be Prince Jing's intention. Ling Tongzhi wants to marry Lu Dou's mother, so he must seek Lu Dou's consent."
Just now when Ling Tongzhi and Ludou were talking in the house, Jiang Hongyu was listening outside because he was not sure whether Ling Tongzhi would hurt Ludou.
Ye Mingzhu sighed and said nothing more. She was not in a position to comment on Prince Jing's decision.
"Don't worry about Ludou. I'll go talk to him tomorrow. He'll be fine. I heard him talking to Ling Tongzhi. They must have known each other for many years." Jiang Hongyu stared at the dark sky outside and sighed.
"Tongzhi Ling is right. Life is hard for a widow."
Ye Mingzhu then realized that Jiang Hongyu must have been thinking of Aunt Qing. For so many years, Aunt Qing had been living with Jiang Hongyu. Although Uncle Yan was quite caring towards them, it was not a legitimate relationship after all, and their lives before were not so easy.
"I wonder if Mom received the letter we wrote to her before?" Ye Mingzhu really missed Aunt Qing for a moment.
"I left a letter for Pinggu Town. My mother and others will be able to see it when they go back." Jiang Hongyu seemed to have made arrangements in advance.
