Luoyang Brocade Chapter 167: Countermeasures
"No matter how domineering King Yan is, he cannot forcefully marry a daughter of the Ling family."
Uncle Ling stroked his beard and a glint flashed in his eyes: "The Empress has been busy choosing a concubine for King Yan recently. With the family background of our Ling family, the Empress will never consider letting Ah Shu be the main concubine. At least. We have to wait until King Yan gets married before he agrees to accept Ah Shu into the palace."
"After all, we still have enough time to plan and deal with this matter!"
As Uncle Ling spoke, he stood up and paced: "First of all, we must send the letter to Dingzhou as soon as possible. Mother is too old to travel around, so let the fifth brother come to the capital. As long as the fifth brother is here, we can We decided to marry Ah Shu in an upright and justifiable manner."
"Then, secretly go to see His Highness Taisun. Reveal His Highness King Yan's interest in Ah Shu. As long as His Highness Taisun is interested in Ah Shu, he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. As long as he takes the lead and talks to Taisun Your Highness has decided to get married. No matter how domineering and arrogant King Yan is, there is nothing he can do about it."
At the end of the day, Uncle Ling was already very proud and confident.
Sun’s tightly frowned brows relaxed, and she praised with a smile: "Master is wise! After I found out about this, I was at a loss for a long time. When I heard what Master said, I suddenly felt confident again."
Uncle Ling smiled proudly: "You are a housewife, and you can't help but panic when things happen. Okay, let's talk about the gossip later. I will go to the study now and write a family letter to my fifth brother."
He said he was relaxed, but in fact, Uncle Ling was very anxious in his heart.
Ms. Sun immediately said: "I will give you my body to grind ink for you."
……
Uncle Ling and the Sun family stayed up all night discussing countermeasures.
Ling Jingshu, who always remained calm in front of others, was actually full of worries.
After dinner, I gave Ah Xiao some medicine and re-applied ointment on his eyes. After finishing all this work, Ling Jingshu urged Ling Xiao to rest early.
"Ah Shu, what should I do if King Yan keeps pestering you?"
Ling Xiao was thinking about what happened during the day and said with a worried look on his face: "This King Yan seems to be easy-going and approachable, but in fact he is very domineering. You can see it from the fact that he invited us to be guests of King Yan's Mansion today. If not We were made drunk by Dr. Wei, and I'm afraid we won't be able to escape easily today."
A Xiao has really grown up!
He was not fooled by King Yan's appearance, but was also keenly aware of King Yan's shrewdness.
Ling Jingshu didn’t want Ling Xiao to worry about herself, so she deliberately responded lightly: “Don’t worry. I can handle it.”
Ling Xiao frowned: "Ah Shu, this is not a trivial matter. It concerns your reputation and your life. If King Yan takes advantage of his power and wants to marry you by force, all he needs is a decree from the Queen granting marriage. , when the time comes, I won’t be able to escape even if I want to..."
Yes!
In her previous life, Queen Xu issued a secret decree to kill her. Given Queen Xu's love for King Yan, if King Yan insists on marrying her, she will marry her. It is not difficult to ask for a phoenix decree.
The emperor's grandson is proud by nature and disdains forcing others to make things difficult for him. King Yan is different...
"Axiao, I have thought of what you said." Ling Jingshu whispered: "Today I asked my cousin to tell my eldest aunt about King Yan, just because I was waiting for my eldest uncle and aunt to come up with countermeasures for me. ."
Uncle Ling is devoted to the East Palace and never wants anything to do with the Ling family and King Yan. We will definitely try our best to resolve this matter.
Ling Xiao thought for a while. Finally he felt relieved: "I hope uncle can come up with a good idea."
After a pause, he sighed again: "In the final analysis, it was me who got you into trouble. If you hadn't accompanied me to the capital, you wouldn't have encountered so much trouble."
Ling Jingshu twitched the corners of her lips and said pointedly: "Maybe. If I stay in Dingzhou, there will be more trouble."
Ling Xiao was stunned. Before he could think about the meaning of this sentence, Ling Jingshu stood up: "It's been a busy day today, so you should go to bed early! I'm also sleepy and tired, so I have to go back to the house to rest. Got off."
There was a strong sense of weariness in his voice.
Ling Xiao was heartbroken and said hurriedly: "Go back and rest quickly. It's not too late to talk to you tomorrow if you have anything to say."
The weather was hot and dry, and after taking a shower, I finally felt a little cooler.
Ling Jingshu was used to going to bed early and getting up early on weekdays, but she was lying in bed today, but she was not sleepy at all.
What happened during the day passed through my mind one by one. The emperor's grandson's implicit confession, her tactful rejection, and her subsequent surrender. I wonder if the emperor's grandson is willing to accept it... King Yan's sudden appearance and strong invitation make his intentions clear. We must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible...
There is also Imperial Physician Wei.
The subtlety between the four eyes, the seeming protection...
She must be overthinking everything! Dr. Wei is not a womanizer. She suffers from a strange disease and has no plans to marry again in her life. The two of them should not have any interaction except for treating Ah Xiao.
Ling Jingshu stared at the tent ceiling silently, her heart rising and falling and unable to calm down for a long time.
Turn over, shake off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and force himself to sleep.
I don’t know how long it took before I fell asleep.
……
The next day, at dawn, a servant of the Ling Mansion hurried out of the side door.
This servant was ordered by Uncle Ling to deliver family letters to Dingzhou as soon as possible. Uncle Ling also specifically ordered that the family letter must be handed over to Mrs. Ling in person, and that the letter must be brought back to the capital.
The Sun family kept the matter secret for the time being and did not tell the Ling Jingshu siblings about sending home letters back to Dingzhou.
Just two days after the servant who delivered the letter left, Mrs. Sun received a letter from Dingzhou.
Sun was startled at first, but quickly reacted. It will take at least ten days for the latest letter from home to be sent to Dingzhou. This should be the reply to the last letter from home.
Unable to control her anxiety, Mrs. Sun opened the family letter and started reading it before Uncle Ling returned home.
After taking a quick look, Sun's face quietly darkened.
Old Mrs. Ling did not say much in the letter, but only vaguely hinted that Ling Jingshu was suffering from a strange disease~IndoMTL.com~ and could not get close to any man. Until the disease is cured, let’s put the marriage aside for the time being...
Old Mrs. Ling's reaction was not unexpected by Sun.
But now things have changed, and there is an incident involving King Yan. This trouble must be solved as soon as possible. I only hope that after receiving the latest letter from home, Mrs. Ling can figure this out and let Fifth Master Ling come to the capital as soon as possible...
"Mrs. Qi, Miss Jiu and Master Xiao are here to say hello."
The maid's report interrupted Sun's thoughts.
Sun hurriedly folded the letter and stuffed it into the envelope. In a hurry, she couldn't think of where to hide it, so she simply stood up, placed the envelope on the chair, and then sat on it.
As soon as we sat down, sister and brother Ling Jingshu came.
The two siblings paid their respects to Mrs. Sun as usual.
Ms. Sun sat in her chair without moving, but her smile was particularly cordial: "Why don't you two, sister and brother, get a little sleep and come so early?" (To be continued.)
