Luoyang Brocade Chapter 31: Persuasion (3)

As they passed each other, Ling Jingxian glared at Ling Jingshu angrily.

Ling Jingshu was so worried that she had no time to deal with Ling Jingxian's inexplicable provocation. She quickly entered the Lama Temple and paid her respects to Mrs. Ling.

Old Mrs. Ling just felt sulky and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Sister Shu, what's the important thing for you to come here?"

Ling Jingshu sensitively caught the word "again", and then thought of the disgraced look of Mrs. Yue and Ling Jingxian, and guessed a little bit about the situation just now: "Did the second aunt and cousin Xian say something just now? Are you upset with grandma?"

Old Mrs. Ling snorted, her tone full of displeasure: "It's not a big deal. The two of them want to go to work with your second uncle. As long as the two of them open their mouths to plead, I won't say anything about this small matter. Making things difficult. You just beat around the bush and played tricks in front of me. You really thought I was an old fool!"

As the oldest, highest-ranking person in the Ling family, Old Mrs. Ling’s temper is naturally not that bad. Even though he is usually kind and amiable, once he gets really angry, all the sons and daughters-in-law will have to listen to him with trepidation.

Ling Jingshu came to Mrs. Ling today to ask for something very important. Only when Mrs. Ling nodded could what she had in mind become a reality. Naturally wanting to make Mrs. Di Ling happy, she immediately responded: "Second Aunt is acting so unorganized. Grandma has always been kind-hearted. As long as she sincerely asks for it, there is absolutely no reason not to agree."

This is much more pleasant to hear.

Old Mrs. Ling felt much calmer and her tone was much gentler: "That's all, let's not talk about these troublesome things. Sister Shu, you came to me to say something?"

Ling Jingshu did not beat around the bush and answered honestly: "Yes, my granddaughter has something very important to say to her grandmother, and these words can only be heard by her grandmother. Can she please ask Mo Kui and the others to step aside first?"

My family members should be straightforward when speaking!

Old Mrs. Ling nodded happily and ordered Mo Kui and others to retreat.

......

Only Mrs. Ling and Ling Jingshu were left in the huge Yonghe Hall.

Old Mrs. Ling smiled and said: "If there is anything important, you can always tell me now!"

"I came today because of Ah Xiao's affairs..." Ling Jingshu repeated what she had said to Master Ling Wu before.

Old Mrs. Ling smiled at first, but gradually her expression became serious. When she heard about Dr. Wei in the capital who was good at treating difficult and complicated diseases, she couldn't help but be moved: "Sister Shu, are you telling the truth? Then Is it possible for a Wei imperial physician to cure Ah Xiao’s eyes?"

"Whether it can be cured or not, I can't make a conclusion yet. However, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I want to take Ah Xiao to give it a try." Ling Jingshu's eyes flashed with determination: "I have asked my father for permission. , I will go to the capital with my uncle and his family in a few days. I hope my grandmother will approve."

Old Mrs. Ling thought for a while and said slowly: "If we can cure A Xiao's eyes and let him see the light again, it will naturally be a great joy. However, I really don't want you to accompany A Xiao to the capital. I'm worried. You are a weak woman who has never traveled far. It is always inconvenient to travel long distances to show up. It is better to let your father lead Ah Xiao there, and you can stay with your grandmother with peace of mind."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Jingshu knelt down with a plop: "My grandmother is so considerate of me, I am really touched. But, I have a reason to go."

The reason why you have to go?

Old Mrs. Ling was startled at first, then quickly said: "If you have any embarrassing issues, just tell grandma, no need to kneel down."

At this time, Mrs. Ling is still the kind and amiable grandmother in front of the younger generation. She also felt a bit pity for Ling Jingshu.

Only when the family's survival is threatened, his ruthless and hard-hearted face will be revealed.

Ling Jingshu sneered in her heart, but there was a sad look on her face: "Grandma, I have a strange disease. I want to accompany A Xiao to the capital, not only to treat his eyes, but also to secretly cure my disease. ."

Old Mrs. Ling was so frightened that she forgot to ask Ling Jingshu to get up: "What did you say? What strange disease do you have?"

Ling Jingshu didn’t have to pretend, but she also showed a bitter look on her face: "Except for Ah Xiao, I can’t get close to any man. If I touch my fingers, I will have a strange reaction, with convulsions all over my body and nausea and vomiting."

Old Mrs. Ling: "..."

What kind of strange disease is this? What do you mean you can't get close to any man?

Old Mrs. Ling looked stunned and asked in disbelief: "Is everything you said true? When did this happen?"

Ling Jingshu bit her lip, her eyes filled with a little glimmer of water, and her voice was slightly choked: "My granddaughter dare not hide it from my grandmother. It's a strange disease that was discovered a few days ago."

"You girl, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Old Mrs. Ling frowned: "Hurry up and tell me in detail, don't hide anything."

Ling Jingshu looked like she didn't know how to open her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Ling guessed the reason why Ling Jingshu was reluctant to speak: "You are ashamed to open your mouth, is it because a man has touched your hand?"

It is inappropriate for a girl who has not left the court to be alone with a man in private, and such an intimate gesture as shaking hands is even more outrageous.

Ling Jingshu’s eyes were red and she nodded.

Old Mrs. Ling is so shrewd that she guessed who the other party was almost immediately: "It must be Lu Hong!"

Ling Jingshu lowered her head as if ashamed, and muttered: "It's not just him, there is also a potential cousin."

Old Mrs. Ling: "..."

Old Mrs. Ling seemed to be choking on something, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a few words: "There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it with confidence. Don't worry, this matter will never spread to anyone. Anyone's ears."

......

This is what I was waiting for!

Ling Jingshu wiped her tears with her sleeves and confided the truth in a low voice: "On the day of my grandmother's birthday, Ah Xiao asked me to go back to Qiushui Pavilion. After I went back, I found that Cousin Lu was also there. Under the melons and plums, I should avoid suspicion. I I felt something was wrong with Cousin Lu, so I wanted him to leave. But not only did he refuse to leave, he also said some...nonsense words to me. I was shocked and scared at the time, and sternly told him to leave. He was so excited that , rushed forward and held my hand. I felt sick to my stomach and vomited it out on the spot."

"Cousin Lu was probably frightened by my reaction and left quickly. After that, he didn't reveal the matter to anyone. I was too shy to publicize it, thinking that it was probably just an occasional incident. I don’t take it particularly to heart.”

"Unexpectedly, cousin Qian came to Qiushui Pavilion again yesterday..."

The next words seem really hard to say.

Ling Jingshu bit her lip ~IndoMTL.com~ Her pretty face turned red.

But Mrs. Ling's heart sank, and she quickly guessed what happened: "Did Ah Qian say that he was devoted to you, and also said that he wanted your aunt to propose marriage to the Ling family?"

Ling Jingshu was silent.

Old Mrs. Ling knew what the outcome would be, but she still couldn’t help but ask: "What happened next?"

"I am two years older than my potential cousin. I have always regarded him as a child and only have the affection for him as a cousin, so I rejected him." Ling Jingshu sighed softly: "I didn't expect that he would react so violently. He came close to me and kept saying that he must marry me. My whole body was shaking, my stomach was churning, and I vomited it out again."

"It was a coincidence once, but it was definitely not a coincidence twice. I was panicked and scared, but I didn't dare to tell anyone about it. I just met my father, and I didn't have the courage to say it. Everyone in this house is the most painful person. My person is my grandmother. So, I mustered up the courage to find my grandmother..."

Ling Jingshu’s eyes turned red again as she spoke, and she raised her head and looked at Old Mrs. Ling, her eyes full of trust and prayer: “Grandma, you will keep it a secret for me, right? You will help me, right?”

Even a stone-hearted person will be melted by such eyes.

What's more, Ling Jingshu grew up beside Mrs. Ling, and she was also the most popular with Mrs. Ling. Seeing Ling Jingshu so helpless, pity suddenly arose in her heart.

"Good child, I can't blame you for this, and you don't have to feel guilty and blame yourself." Old Mrs. Ling sighed and gently stroked Ling Jingshu's head: "Stop kneeling now, stand up and speak. Grandma will help you with everything." You decide."
