Wu Ling's eyes were somewhat blurry at this moment.
I feel dizzy and lightheaded.
However, he did not forget to cast his gaze upon the other members of the Bai family.
It was as if if they said no, they would drink themselves to death right there.
Seeing his appearance, Bai Chengye and the others were afraid that they had made the child sick by drinking too much, so they nodded repeatedly.
They all acknowledged Wu Ling's identity!
Actually, this kid doesn't need to go to such lengths; as long as Lin Ru admits it, that's enough.
Although they were elders, they never interfered with the decisions Lin Ru made.
However, I am still very satisfied with Wu Ling's attitude.
This young man did not disregard his relatives just because he had gained the Emperor's favor.
Now it's almost like a son-in-law going to his father-in-law's house!
Seeing them all nod in agreement, Wu Ling immediately broke into a simple, honest smile.
He stood up abruptly and walked step by step toward Lin Ru, murmuring her name.
The love in his eyes was almost tangible.
Lin Ru looked back at him with a smile on her face.
The next second, Wu Ling suddenly collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The Bai family members were so frightened that they all rushed over to check on the situation.
Bai Chengye patted his chest, "Thank goodness, I guess I just drank too much."
Rong Peiyu said with great distress, "You guys are just fooling that silly boy."
“Ru’er has already made up her mind about this person, and you guys are still there making a fortune off him.”
Bai Chengye and the others felt deeply wronged.
Bai rolled up his sleeves and smacked his youngest son on the head.
"You've really got some nerve, daring to get your brother-in-law drunk. Don't you know your brother-in-law never drinks?"
After she finished speaking, she patted her second son.
"And why are you so cunning and wicked, kid?"
After that, she patted her eldest son on the shoulder, and Lin Bai immediately looked aggrieved.
"Mom! I didn't make my brother-in-law drink."
Bai glared at him irritably, "Do I need a reason to hit you?"
Did your brother-in-law drink your glass of wine just now?
Lin Bai said with a wronged expression, "I did drink, but I'm already so old."
"Why do you keep hitting people on the head?"
Bai: "If not the head, are you going to hit the buttocks?"
"You want me to spank you? I won't do it, it stinks."
Lin Qing grunted twice.
"Mother is so biased! My brother-in-law isn't even married yet, and you're already hitting us because of him."
Bai was so angry he laughed.
She no longer cared about maintaining a ladylike image.
Carrying her luxurious dress, she pulled out a kitchen knife from somewhere and chased after Lin Qing, looking like she was about to chop him up!
"You dare to talk back to me, kid? I'm willing to beat you up, so what? Don't think that just because you've been crowned kings you can stop me from beating you up. Let me tell you, if you push me too far, I'll still grab a knife and chop you down."
Lin Qing quickly ran away, asking for help every now and then!
"Sister! Grandfather! Grandmother! Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt, please save me!"
Rong Peiyu smiled and stepped forward to stop him, while Lin Ru had someone help Wu Ling into the inner room, then personally helped him up and fed him a few sips of water.
They also fed him some medicine to strengthen his body.
Only then did they put him down and tuck him in properly.
As he turned to leave, a warm, large hand suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him sharply into his arms. Lin Ru was caught off guard and was pulled into his embrace by the sudden force.
The two were pressed tightly together.
Lin Ru listened to his heart pounding.
I could smell the sharp bamboo scent mixed with the sweet aroma of alcohol emanating from him.
I feel very safe and secure.
"Ru'er! Don't go! Ru'er! Don't go!"
This almost pleading murmur echoed in her ears!
Lin Ru looked up and saw that Wu Ling hadn't even opened his eyes. His face had an abnormal flush, his expression was very sad, and there were even faint tears in the corners of his eyes.
He kept muttering to himself.
"Don't go! Don't leave me!"
Lin Ru smiled and touched his face, whispering a reassurance, "Don't worry, I won't leave."
"I'll come in and keep you company after I finish having dinner with my family."
"You just stay here and rest, I won't leave."
"good!"
Upon hearing Lin Ru's voice, Wu Ling gradually relaxed, but his expression remained one of profound sorrow.
"Don't go..."
"Don't abandon me..."
Lin Ru smiled and touched his face, then leaned down and kissed him on the cheek. "Why have you become so clingy?"
"Don't worry, I won't abandon you. I'm just going out to get something to eat."
"You wouldn't want me to go hungry, would you?"
"Just lie there and rest."
"Let's get up tomorrow and go together to my coronation ceremony."
After she finished speaking, she gently pried Wu Ling's hand off her wrist, and then walked out with a smile.
Lin Qing was still jumping around outside.
The whole place was bustling with activity.
Upon seeing Lin Ru, he immediately ran over and hid behind his older sister, peeking out with a fawning smile on his face. "Mother, please forgive me for my sister's sake. I'll let it go this time."
"After all, my brother-in-law has become like this, and my sister hasn't said anything, has she?"
"I just wanted to test my brother-in-law on behalf of my sister."
"Mother, please don't worry. I promise I will never do it again."
"Let's eat hot pot quickly."
"In a little while, Xiaoyue will eat all our meat!"
Xiaoyue, who was outside, didn't even look up when she heard this. She just felt as if she had a huge pot on her back.
I'm a little tired...
In the end, Lin Qing was hit twice before he obediently started eating.
Everyone gathered around the steaming hot pot, dismissing all the servants. They were treated like ordinary people, and each person could prepare whatever they wanted to eat.
They were chatting and laughing.
Not only has Bai Qiang's wedding date been set, but Lin Ru has also announced that she will completely change her surname to Bai tomorrow!
Hearing her daughter's words, Bai was deeply moved. Her daughter had actually said something similar before, but she hadn't taken it to heart, thinking that her daughter was just saying it to make her happy because she couldn't bear to upset her.
As time passed, she had completely forgotten about the matter. She never expected that her daughter would not only remember it, but also want to announce to the whole world on such an important day as her coronation ceremony that she would change her surname from Lin to Bai!
She fought back tears, "My dear daughter, you really don't have to be like this!"
"Children have always taken their husband's surname!"
"Although that beast has no right to be your father at all."
"But you still have the blood of the Lin family in your veins."
Bai Chengye also felt that something was amiss.
He wasn't concerned about bloodlines; rather, he feared that his descendants might become unfilial and believe that the world was conquered by the Bai family.
