Chapter 496: The Origin of the County Lady
Jiang Hongyu didn't want to tell anyone what happened in the military camp, mainly because he didn't want to make everyone worry.
He laughed and said, "It's just a Tongzhi from the capital. He likes me very much. It's nothing. Don't worry."
Ye Wu: ...Do you want to listen to what you say?
Green Bean frowned and asked seriously, "Brother-in-law, what is Ling Tongzhi's name?"
"Name?" Jiang Hongyu didn't know why Ludou asked that. He thought for a moment before saying uncertainly, "Ling Wu?"
"Ling Yingwu!" Green Bean said again with his eyes wide open.
"Yes, that's the name," Jiang Hongyu looked at Ludou, "How do you know Ling Tongzhi's name? Do you know him?"
Green Bean pursed his lips and frowned, his eyes full of anger.
He finally understood why his mother kept silent every time he asked her how long she would stay there.
He was wondering how Niang and Banxia came all the way from the capital. It turned out that they came with Uncle Ling.
Luodou felt sad. Uncle Ling had been so good to him before, but this time he and his mother hid it from him.
Since Uncle Ling came with my mother, he must know that he was here too. However, so much time has passed and Uncle Ling has never come to see him once, and even made things difficult for Jiang Hongyu.
"Brother-in-law, you, must have been implicated by me." There was a tear in Ludou's voice when he said this. He really didn't want to believe that Uncle Ling, who loved him so much before, had now become a person who couldn't distinguish between public and private.
Since Uncle Ling came here with my mother, he must know that he lives in Jiang Hongyu's house. He targeted Jiang Hongyu to vent my mother's anger.
"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry," Ludou said, feeling guilty. "Brother-in-law, Uncle Ling must be venting his anger on Mom. It's all my fault. Mom asked me to move in, but I didn't agree."
Green Bean's tears have already fallen.
Jiang Hongyu actually didn't understand what Ludou said, but Ye Mingzhu did. However, now is obviously not the time to explain. Moreover, the matter between Mrs. Lu and Ling Tongzhi may not be what they know.
"Ludou, don't cry. These things don't necessarily have anything to do with you. The Uncle Ling you like so much is definitely not someone who can't distinguish between public and private matters."
Ye Mingzhu felt very distressed when she saw Luodou crying so sadly. She wiped his tears and tried to comfort him.
"Green Bean, things may not be what you think," Jiang Hongyu frowned and said seriously, "General Ling is training me, but all this training is for my own good. Have you ever heard of the saying, 'More sweat in leisure, less blood in battle?'"
Green Bean raised her tearful smiling face: "Brother-in-law?"
"I don't know why you think Ling Tongzhi is making things difficult for me because of you, but from what I've observed these past few days, General Ling is a very principled man, and it's not necessarily the case you think."
Jiang Hongyu had a good impression of Ling Tongzhi. He thought that Ling Tongzhi was not the kind of person who would take revenge on personal grudges, and he did not think that he and Ling Tongzhi had any personal grudges.
Luodou didn't know how to tell what happened between his mother and Ling Tongzhi. He stomped his feet and ran out. Ye Yun'an hurriedly chased after him.
Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Mingzhu in confusion: "What does mung bean mean?"
Ye Mingzhu briefly recounted what she knew, and then expressed her own guess.
"I guess Madam Lu didn't tell Lu Dou that she came here with Ling Tongzhi. Madam Lu has always wanted Lu Dou to come and live with her, but Lu Dou refused. Lu Dou must have misunderstood that Ling Tongzhi was venting his anger on Madam Lu's behalf."
"Impossible." Jiang Hongyu looked up. "We saved Lu Dou back then. Anyone with a clear mind would know that we are Lu Dou's benefactors. How could we do such a thing? Besides, Ling Tongzhi is not such a person. I'll go and persuade Lu Dou."
Jiang Hongyu left with a frown. Ye Mingzhu looked at the steaming food on the table and sighed.
Jiang Hongyu came back half an hour later. Ye Mingzhu first brought out the warm food for him to eat before asking about the situation.
"I've been trying to persuade him for a long time, but he doesn't believe me." Jiang Hongyu smiled bitterly. "He said I don't understand, but when I asked him again, he wouldn't tell me. I've already told Yun An to keep an eye on him for the next two days."
Ye Mingzhu didn't have any good solution. Looking at Jiang Hongyu's tired expression, she asked him to sleep first. She would find Luodou to ask about the situation the next day.
The next day, Mrs. Lu sent someone to pick up Lu Dou after breakfast as usual. Lu Dou didn't even see the person, so she asked Lao Hu to tell the person that he had something to do today and would not go.
Ye Mingzhu wanted to find Ludou to talk, but Ludou was practicing boxing seriously. After practicing, he took a shower and wrote, leaving Ye Mingzhu no chance.
On the third day, Mrs. Lu sent someone, but Lu Dou was not there.
On the fourth day, Mrs. Lu sent someone, but Green Bean was still nowhere to be seen.
On the fifth day, Banxia came to see Ye Mingzhu. Although she was smiling, she spoke very rudely: "County Lady, although you saved my young master, my prince also helped you to fight for the position of County Lady. Shouldn't you be content with that? You are still holding on to my young master and won't let go."
Ye Mingzhu's face instantly darkened. She looked at Banxia without a smile on her face. "Since you know I'm a county lady, isn't it disrespectful to talk to me like this?"
Banxia was startled by Ye Mingzhu's sudden momentum, but she still forced herself to say, "I am a maid in Prince Jing's mansion."
Ye Mingzhu sneered: "Why? The maid in Prince Jing's mansion is higher than the county lady conferred by the emperor?"
Originally, she wanted to ask whether Prince Jing was higher than the emperor, but she was worried that if she said it, it would bring trouble to Prince Jing's Mansion, so she swallowed her words in the end.
Banxia was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She stammered, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever say that? Ask the young master to come out. Madam asked me to pick him up."
Green Bean suddenly jumped out of the door and kicked Banxia directly: "You useless slave, who told you to be rude to my sister?"
Banxia groaned instantly, but didn't dare to refute. She only said hesitantly: "Madam asked me to pick up the young master."
Green Bean didn't listen to her at all, just waved his fist at her: "This is not the place for you to act wild, get out."
Banxia staggered to her feet and almost fell, but she didn't dare to stop and ran out the door.
Green Bean turned around and asked worriedly, "Sister, are you okay? She can't speak, I'll teach her a lesson."
Ye Mingzhu stared at him and asked softly, "Ludou, my position as a county lord was won for me by Prince Jing's Mansion."
Green Bean rolled his eyes and wanted to explain, but Ye Mingzhu said again: "Green Bean, I want to hear the truth."
Green Bean said anxiously: "Sister, I wrote a letter to grandfather, but grandfather said that he can't help in this matter, otherwise the emperor will be suspicious. Sister, you have made such great achievements, but you are only given a county lady. You are still at a loss."
