"Uncle, Ling Si."
Changsun Lingyue's voice suddenly rang out, easing the tense atmosphere a little.
"Aren't you asking what Lingyue experienced in Hanshan Temple?" Changsun Lingsi walked to Changsun Lingyue and took her hand without saying a word.
When everyone saw her hands wrapped like rice dumplings, they looked at her in different ways.
Changsun Lingyue pulled her hand away with all her strength and covered it with her sleeve. "Lingsi insisted on taking me back, and I didn't want to make a scene at Hanshan Temple. I know none of you want to see me, so I will go to the ancestral hall and reflect on my mistakes."
After saying that, she stood up and was about to leave.
The wrist was grabbed again, and the next second, the wrapped cloth was torn off.
Changsun Lingyue's hands were exposed to everyone.
The once slender hands are now covered with blisters.
Even though she made Changsun Wuji sick with anger and deliberately framed Qu Li, causing Changsun Wuji to suffer a second stroke, she was still loved and cared for by the entire family.
Everyone's faces fell when they saw her hand.
"What exactly happened? Why are there so many blisters on Lingyue's hands?" Changsun Li's voice choked.
"Ling Yue, what's going on?" Chang Sun Wu also asked with concern.
Changsun Lingyue bit her lip and said nothing, her eyes growing redder and redder.
They couldn't get a definite answer and could only look at Caiyue.
Caiyue pursed her lips and whispered everything that had happened during their time at Hanshan Temple.
Although she did not mention anyone by name, everyone thought that the person who was making things difficult for Changsun Lingyue was Qu Li.
Changsun Lingrui was the first to object: "If my cousin really wanted to teach Lingyue a lesson, how could she let my second uncle send Lingyue to Hanshan Temple?"
Changsun Lingsi snorted: "Would you trust a man who has lived with us for more than ten years, or a woman who came back with the high priest?"
After this question was asked, the entire front hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Changsun Lingyue raised her chin slightly, trying to hold back the tears.
"Lingyue, do you think so too?" Changsun Li asked.
"Dad, it doesn't really matter what happened. I'm going to the ancestral hall first." She wiped away the tears from her eyes and said to Caiyue in a hoarse voice, "Caiyue, let's go."
Caiyue nodded and followed Changsun Lingyue out of the front hall.
In the front hall, no one spoke for a long time.
Changsun Lingsi was the first to break the silence. "Before going to Hanshan Temple, I made some inquiries. The high priest has been suppressing the Changsun clan severely over the years. The Changsun clan has always supported the emperor and is loyal to him. How could the high priest possibly have found the daughter of the Changsun clan and brought her back to him?"
"Ling Si, what do you want to express? Do you think your grandfather's eyesight is blurry and he might recognize the wrong person?" Chang Sun Wu's tone was calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Changsun Lingsi shifted his gaze to his face, "Dad, the high priest has always been treacherous. It's not that I don't trust grandfather, I just don't trust the high priest!"
Chang Sun Wu was so angry that he laughed.
Doesn't not trusting the high priest mean doubting Qu Li's identity?
"The Changsun clan never forces others to agree with their views. Since you have doubts, then go and investigate for yourself! If the results are as you said, we will definitely apologize to Ling Yue! If what you find is completely different from what you expected, you..."
Before Chang Sun Wu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chang Sun Lingsi: "I will take the initiative to apologize to her!"
"Okay, then there's no need to dwell on this!" Chang Sun Wu turned his eyes to look at Chang Sun Li again: "Second brother, you don't need to feel sorry. We will all grow old eventually, and we must always give the younger generation a chance to grow."
Changsun Li sighed.
Chang Sun Chi clenched his fists, not quite understanding how things had turned out like this.
After hearing about this, Qu Li just smiled faintly.
"Cousin, don't take Ling Si seriously. He's just like that. He always likes to go against us since he was a kid."
Qu Li stared at Changsun Lingrui with a half-smile: "I don't think he is so hostile to me just because he wants to go against you this time."
Changsun Lingrui laughed awkwardly twice.
"Okay, I get it, don't worry! By the way, please tell my third cousin that if Ling Si goes too far, I don't mind teaching him a lesson on how to identify a bitch!"
"What are you judging?"
Qu Li dipped his finger in the tea and wrote the words "Jian Biao" with amusement.
Even though Changsun Lingrui was well-educated and knew that these two words definitely did not have a good intention, he still showed a puzzled look.
"Women with bad intentions, who love to gossip and pretend to be innocent, are called white lotuses by some and green tea bitches by others. These women always act weak and innocent, specifically to deceive straight men.
No matter what they say or do, in the eyes of straight men, it is all correct and has no purpose!
Even if their schemes are exposed, they only need to shed a few tears, and straight men will feel pity for them and completely forget all the evil they have done before.
Changsun Lingrui: "..."
My cousin’s summary is so sharp and hits the nail on the head!
"Then what kind of person is Ling Yue, who was provoked by others? Which category should she be classified as?"
After all, they are a family. Changsun Lingrui is indeed disappointed with Changsun Lingyue, but he always feels that she is not a bad person.
Qu Li picked up the teapot, poured another cup of tea, and drank it slowly.
"No brains!"
The corners of Changsun Lingrui's eyes twitched again, "My cousin is really humorous."
