Luoyang Brocade Chapter 32: Persuasion (4)
As soon as Mrs. Ling said these words, Ling Jingshu's heart suddenly dropped.
This is the real purpose of her coming to see Mrs. Ling today.
Since Lu Qian begged Mrs. Ling to propose marriage, Mrs. Ling must have whispered in Mrs. Ling’s ears. If you want to completely solve Lu Qian's trouble, it's best to start with Mrs. Ling.
"Thank you, grandma." Ling Jingshu had tears in her eyes, a look of gratitude on her face, and she breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and snuggled next to Old Mrs. Ling.
This look of vulnerability, helplessness, and wholehearted reliance on trust is what wins the favor of Mrs. Ling the most.
Old Mrs. Ling held Ling Jingshu's hand and pondered for a moment.
A girl who has not yet left the government is suffering from this strange disease, and it is really not appropriate to publicize it. Once word spreads, not only will Ling Jingshu's reputation be damaged, but the Ling family's face will also be disgraced.
Ling Jingshu did not dare to tell Lord Ling Wu about this matter, because she was worried that it would reach Mr. Li's ears. Li is a sweet-faced but bitter-hearted master, which shows that he is good at kung fu, but how can he hide what is going on in his bones from her eyes?
If Mr. Li knew about this, he would probably deliberately exaggerate the matter.
Therefore, this matter must not be spread outside.
But, how should Ling and Lu Qian explain it?
"My granddaughter is unfilial and has caused great trouble to my grandmother." Ling Jingshu's voice rang in Old Mrs. Ling's ears.
Old Mrs. Ling came back to her senses and sighed: "Sister Shu, my grandma didn't hide it from you either. Your aunt has already told me about A Qian's admiration for you, and she also wants to propose marriage to A Qian. I was originally worried that A Qian was two years younger than you, so I didn't want to agree to the marriage. But A Qian was stubborn and claimed in front of your aunt that he would not marry anyone but you. Your aunt also told me that she would settle the marriage first and wait for A Qian. You won’t get married until you are sixteen years old."
"Although the Lu family cannot be compared with those noble families in the capital, it is also a famous family. A Qian is the legitimate son of the family and is quite favored by your uncle. When you marry into the Lu family, your biological aunt will be your mother-in-law. She will never Treat you harshly. Speaking of which, it is also a good marriage. So, I have promised your aunt."
Sure enough!
Ling Jingshu sneered in her heart, but her face showed nervousness and panic: "But, I only have a sister-brother relationship with my potential cousin, and I have no other thoughts. Moreover, I have this strange disease now. If I can't Once cured, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married in this life..."
As he spoke, he covered his face with his sleeves and began to sob.
Old Mrs. Ling felt distressed and helpless: "Don't worry yet. I have never heard of such a strange disease. However, there are many famous doctors in the capital, so maybe it can be cured."
If... this disease cannot be cured, it will indeed be a huge worry to get married in the future.
How can I get married and have children if I feel nauseated and vomited even if I touch my fingers?
Forget it, these are things for the future. The top priority is to solve the immediate trouble first.
Fortunately, the Ling family only agreed verbally that day and did not publicize the matter. No one in the Ling family knew about it. Find an opportunity to explain the reason to Ling in private and terminate the oral engagement.
Old Mrs. Ling thought for a moment and said, "I will make it clear to your aunt. You don't have to worry."
Ling Jingshu's crying gradually stopped, and she said with red eyes: "Grandma, my potential cousin is still young, and he is the most stubborn and stubborn. If he knows that this marriage is not going to work, I'm afraid he will make a fuss." Everyone knows that there was a commotion, and both the Lu family and the Ling family are not good-looking. It will also hurt the relationship between our two families."
"It's better to coax him with good words and delay the matter. When A Xiao and I go to the capital together, he won't be able to see me, and the obsession in his heart will gradually fade away. After a while, My aunt took him back to Jizhou and told him the truth. By that time, he would have nothing to do even if he wanted to make a fuss."
Old Mrs. Ling thought about it and thought it was a good idea. It's both tactful and won't hurt each other's feelings.
"Okay, it's up to you." Old Mrs. Ling stretched her brows and said with a smile: "You girl, after being ill for a while, you have become smarter and smarter than before. You are also thinking about problems much more thoughtfully than before. ."
Ling Jingshu wiped her tears with her sleeves and responded obediently: "My granddaughter can always learn a thing or two from watching her grandmother speak and act."
This flattery was a bit explicit, and Mrs. Ling found it very pleasing to her ears. Thinking again that Ling Jingshu was in the prime of her youth, but suffered from such a strange disease that was not curable, she felt even more pity in her heart: "When you go out and seek medical advice, you have to bring more with you. Money for self-defense. In the past few days, you first order people to pack your luggage secretly, and come to grandma before leaving. Grandma will prepare everything for you."
Ling Jingshu thanked her with tears of gratitude: "Grandma, you are so kind to me. I really don't know what to say."
"Silly girl, aren't you too outrageous to tell grandma these things?" Old Mrs. Ling said with a smile: "Grandma only hopes that you and A Xiao will be well. This time I go to the capital, if A Xiao can be cured Eyes, your strange disease can be cured, and grandma will have no regrets."
"As for the marriage..." Mrs. Ling paused, and then continued: "You are still young, so you are not in a hurry to talk about marriage. When you recover from your illness and return to Dingzhou, I will choose a good marriage for you."
Old Mrs. Ling still doesn’t know that she left Dingzhou this time and has no intention of coming back.
Ling Jingshu responded softly.
The two grandmothers chatted some more, and then Ling Jingshu resigned.
......
After spending so much effort, convincing Fifth Master Ling and Mrs. Ling, and arranging everything properly, the tight strings in Ling Jingshu's mind finally relaxed a little.
Lu Qian's temper is so paranoid that it is useless to refuse him head-on. Walking away like this may not be a permanent solution. However, one can always overcome the current difficulty first.
Ling Jingshu did not mention any of these things in front of Ling Xiao: "...A Xiao, I have asked my father and grandmother for permission today. They have agreed that I will accompany you to the capital for treatment. ”
Ling Xiao was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Both father and grandmother agreed?"
"Well, father will tell the uncle personally that we will go to the capital with them. Grandma also said that she will prepare more money for us to defend ourselves." Ling Jingshu held Ling Xiao's hand and said softly: " However, before we leave, we have to keep this news secret. Except for my father, grandmother, you and me, no one else knows."
Ling Xiao was stunned: "Can't my mother and eldest brother also tell me?"
Ling Jingshu's eyes flashed with a chill, and her voice lowered: "You can't say it, especially you can't let your mother know. She will never be happy to see you heal your eyes and return to normal, so be careful not to interfere with it. ~IndoMTL.com ~ Ling Xiao was stunned again, feeling a chill in his heart: "A Shu, why did you suddenly say that? Although my mother is a little cold towards the two of us, she won't hurt me! ”
Ling Jingshu didn't answer but asked: "Axiao, do you really think that your blindness was just an accident?"
Ling Xiao's whole body trembled, and his beautiful and misty eyes were full of shock: "Ah Shu... you mean, my mother secretly ordered someone to kill me back then? But she was always in the yard back then. Aunt Xia was in charge of the affairs in the yard, and the servants who served me were also chosen by Aunt Xia. Later, I fell into a coma and couldn't see when I woke up. She was more anxious than anyone else. She invited famous doctors everywhere to diagnose and treat me. ....."
Ling Jingshu interrupted Ling Xiao calmly: "It is precisely because she is so good at showing off that no one has ever suspected her."
You are so sure, did you find some evidence?
The words were already on his lips, and Ling Xiao swallowed them back silently.
In terms of closeness and distance, it is difficult for Li to impress Ling Jingshu. Ling Jingshu was only thinking about him. If he kept asking questions, wouldn't it hurt Ling Jingshu's heart?
Ling Jingshu seemed to have read through Ling Xiao's thoughts, and said softly: "This is just my guess. I really have no evidence to prove that she was secretly responsible for what happened back then. However, it is not a bad thing to be more careful. Keep it secret first. It won’t be too late to let her know in a few days before we leave.”
At that time, even if Li was not angry, she would have no time to do anything.
