－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
The memories hidden deep in my mind came with a sharp roar, ruthlessly tearing apart the scars in my heart, revealing the **** pain.
Ling Jingshu’s eyes flashed with deep self-mockery and pain, and her chest seemed to be pressed by a boulder, making her feel so dull that she was almost suffocating.
Bai Yu is the most attentive and sensitive person. He has already noticed something strange about Ling Jingshu and asked with concern: “Miss, what’s wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?”
Ling Jingshu stretched out her hand tremblingly: “Bai Yu, let me lean against you for a while.”
She hugged Bai Yu, buried her head in Bai Yu’s warm chest, and shrugged her shoulders slightly.
Her mother died young, and her twin brother is blind and needs someone to take care of her. As the eldest sister, she has to protect her younger brother, do her best to compete for her grandmother’s favor, and stand firm in the eyes of her stepmother, aunt, and cousins.
She worked hard and carefully, not daring to make mistakes. When encountering grievances and sad things, there is no one to talk to, so you can only lean into Bai Yu’s arms and cry quietly for a while.
Bai Yu subconsciously hugged the delicate body in her arms tightly.
Listening to Ling Jingshu’s suppressed sobs, Bai Yu’s heart was tightened, and he comforted her softly: “Miss, what’s going on? If you have anything to do, you might as well tell me. Although I can’t help you, I can’t help you. Sharing worries, but I can always share some worries for the young lady.”
The gentle whisper in the ear is as warm as the memory.
Ling Jingshu’s crying gradually stopped, she sat up straight, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and said slowly: “I’m fine, I just feel uncomfortable. I’ll be fine if I cry for a while.”
The biggest advantage of Bai Yu is that he never talks too much. If Ling Jingshu didn’t want to talk about something, she wouldn’t ask any more questions. She followed Ling Jingshu’s words and said, “It’s okay. Miss, have a good rest. I’ll go to the kitchen and cook some porridge.”
The meals for the masters of the Ling Mansion are all prepared and delivered from the big kitchen. There is a small kitchen in each yard, which is convenient for boiling hot water and making snacks. You can start a group alone, but you have to bear the responsibility once you use it.
Ling Jingshu is weak and should not eat greasy and meaty food. It is best to drink light porridge.
Ling Jingshu also felt hungry and nodded with a smile.
After Bai Yu left, Ling Jingshu stopped her smile and said silently to herself: Ling Jingshu, tears are of no use except making those who love you anxious and worried.
From now on, she will no longer cry weakly and helplessly, but will be strong to face everything that is coming.
……
Ling Jingshu “recuperated” in Qiushui Pavilion and lay on the bed for three days.
The population of Wufang is not small. The fifth master, Ling, has four children. The eldest son, Ling Ting, is the daughter of his concubine, Aunt Xia. Ling Jingshu and his sister are the direct descendants of his original wife, the Yao family. Ling Huan, who is the daughter of the Li family, is only six years old this year.
Ling Wuye is a romantic celebrity. He drinks wine, writes poems, and hangs out with his friends all day long, without even asking about her health. Stepmother Li came here once because of her appearance. He only sat there for a moment, said a few words indifferently and then left.
Ling Ting and Ling Huo were busy studying every day, so naturally they had no time to see her.
Only Ling Xiao came to see her three times a day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening. He came even more punctually than for dinner.
The difference between closeness and distance can be seen at a glance.
Ling Jingshu didn’t feel disappointed or sad either. If someone treats her sincerely, she will treat him sincerely in return. If she doesn’t care about her people, why should she care about their words and deeds?
Old Mrs. Ling also sent Mo Kui here twice.
Mo Kui spoke rather tactfully, implicitly hinting that Ling Jingshu should get well soon.
There are distinguished guests in the house, so it would be impolite for Ling Jingshu to avoid showing up. Mrs. Ling didn’t say anything, but she was already a little unhappy in her heart.
Ling Jingshu did not pretend not to understand Mo Kui’s hint, and said with a smile: “Thank you sister Mo Kui for the reminder. Speaking of which, my body is really not up to par. I have been lying on the bed to rest for the past few days, so that my grandmother also I’m worried now. Please go back and report to my grandmother, Sister Mo Kui, and I’ll go pay my respects to my grandmother tomorrow morning.”
As he spoke, he winked at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu immediately stuffed the prepared purse into Mo Kui’s hand and whispered affectionately: “Please, Miss Mo Kui, please say a few kind words to our lady in front of the old lady.”
Mo Kui pretended to refuse a few words before accepting.
After Mo Kui left, Bai Yu sighed worriedly: “Miss, what Mo Kui just said is very clear. You have been avoiding showing up, and the old lady is unhappy.”
In this Ling Mansion, Mrs. Ling is the sky above everyone’s heads. If you want to live a good life in the house, you must not make Mrs. Ling unhappy.
Ling Jingshu knew this truth without Bai Yu’s reminder. No matter how much she resented Mrs. Ling’s coldness and ruthlessness in her heart, she would never let it show even a little bit. She must try her best to please Mrs. Ling as usual.
Otherwise, she would be in real trouble.
“I know what to do.” Ling Jingshu smiled at Bai Yu, with confidence in her eyebrows: “You can rest assured.”
Looking at Ling Jingshu’s confident smile, Bai Yu’s anxious heart calmed down.
“Miss,” Hemerocallis came in and reported, “Miss Eight is here to see you.”
……
Ling Jingxian walked in with brisk steps and called her cousin Shu with a smile.
Today, Ling Jingxian is wearing a goose-yellow dress, with a thin layer of makeup on her face, her face is radiant and pretty. A pair of eyes, shining with a strange look.
A sarcastic smile flashed across Ling Jingshu’s eyes.
When a girl first fell in love, her joy was almost written on her face…she must have looked this stupid back then!
Ling Jingxian and her have never been on good terms, so he came here to “visit” her today, obviously with ulterior motives.
As expected, after Ling Jingxian chatted for a few times, she quickly brought the topic to the Lu family’s cousin: “…Cousin Shu, you have been staying behind closed doors these past few days. You haven’t met Cousin Hong yet!”
Cousin Hong… what he calls is really affectionate.
Ling Jingshu twitched the corners of her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes. She responded casually: “Why do you need to ask about such an obvious thing? I’ve never seen it before. Why did cousin Xian suddenly mention this? Could it be? Is there anything wrong with this cousin?”
Ling Jingxian bit her lip, and a blush appeared on her face: “There’s nothing wrong. It’s just…just…”
Even for a long time, he still didn’t say the following words.
Ling Jingshu looked at Ling Jingxian pretending with cold eyes.
When the Lu family came to the Ling family in the previous life, she greeted them along with everyone else. Then, she and Lu Hong fell in love at first sight. Lu Hong only has eyes for her and can no longer tolerate anyone else. Although Ling Jingxian fell in love with Lu Hong, it was a pity that Luohua was ruthless. He could only watch helplessly as she and Lu Honghua fell in love before and under the moon.
Lu Hong asked Ling to propose marriage for him. As a stepmother, Ling’s relationship with Lu Hong has always been lukewarm. Lu Hong fell in love with her maternal niece, so Ling was naturally happy to see this happen, and quickly proposed marriage to Mrs. Ling.
Old Mrs. Ling agreed without much hesitation.
The Lu family is a famous family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the Ling family is not bad, compared with the Lu family, it is far behind. When Ling married into the Lu family, she was just a stepmother. Now that the legitimate eldest son of the Lu family wants to marry the granddaughter of the Ling family, how could the Ling family not agree?
What’s more, Lu Hong is young, handsome, personable, and knowledgeable. Standing together with Ling Jingshu, they were like a match made in heaven, and they would never humiliate Ling Jingshu. Furthermore, Ling Jingshu married into the Lu family, and her mother-in-law was her biological aunt, so she would not treat her harshly.
Old Mrs. Ling also has some selfish motives that are not shared by outsiders. The Ling family married far away and was a step-brother. Her relationship with her step-son was cold, which was always a hidden danger. The niece of her mother’s family has become a daughter-in-law, and she will definitely be on Ling’s side in the future. Ling’s control of the middle feed can also be smoother and easier.
Old Mrs. Ling made the decision to make the marriage. Fifth Master Ling was quite satisfied with the Lu family’s family background, and he also admired Lu Hong’s literary talent and style, and was happy to see the marriage come to fruition.
At that time, who could have thought that this “good relationship” that everyone praised would end up like that?
……
My mind wanders and I think a little too far.
Just for now. In this life, she has been avoiding showing up. Lu Hong hasn’t met her yet, so naturally there is no story about love at first sight. The person who met Lu Hong first was Ling Jingxian!
She thought that she might have guessed Ling Jingxian’s purpose…
Ling Jingxian felt coy for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to say, “Cousin Shu, I have something important to say to you.”
Ling Jingshu glanced at Ling Jingxian with a half-smile, her insightful look ~IndoMTL.com~ made Ling Jingxian feel guilty and lowered her head subconsciously.
“Bai Yu, you guys get out of here first. You are not allowed to come in without my instructions.” Ling Jingshu ordered lightly.
The maids quickly withdrew.
Only Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingxian were left in the room.
Ling Jingshu looked at Ling Jingxian and said calmly: “Cousin Xian, if you have anything to say, you can finally say it now!”
Ling Jingxian blushed and whispered: “Cousin Shu, I will be old enough in May.”
After getting haircut, it’s time to talk about marriage.
Ling Jingshu’s eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly said: “Cousin Xian, have you fallen in love with that cousin Hong?”
Ling Jingxian: “…”
Ling Jingxian was suddenly told something that was on her mind. No matter how scheming she was, she was still a young girl waiting to be married, and her pretty face suddenly turned red. But he didn’t deny it.
After a long while, Ling Jingxian whispered: “Cousin Shu, I am not afraid that you will laugh at me. In the past two years, I have been traveling with my mother as a guest, and I have met some young men of the same age. But I have never moved. Don’t worry about it. Three days ago, when I saw Cousin Hong from the first moment, I fell in love with him.”
“He was as handsome as jade, just like the bright moon in the sky. When he smiled at me, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. In the past few days, I felt like I was possessed by a demon. Always thinking about him…”
Listening to Ling Jingxian’s emotional confession of her feelings, she seemed to see her innocent and foolish self back then.
Ling Jingshu felt a little unstable and interrupted Ling Jingxian impatiently: “Cousin Xian likes cousin Hong. You should tell your mother quietly and try to find a way to facilitate the marriage. Tell me what to do?”
