Mrs. Ling originally wanted to leave Bao Qi to eat at the house, but Bao Qi politely refused, and met Ling Ji who came in a hurry before going out, Ling Ji seemed to have something urgent, and saw Bao Qi breathe a sigh of relief, her fair face was slightly red, and she took half a step back and bowed her hand to ask for a gift.

"When the young lady visited, Pin Ze didn't know and took the liberty. ”

Bao Qi pursed his lips and bowed, and said a few words of invitation, and left with Helan.

Because Ling Ji came alone, there was no one around, and when he looked up again, there was only a back left in front of him, and he couldn't help but freeze for a moment, and then heard a gentle call from inside the house, "Yu'er is here, come in and say something, don't stand outside." ”

Ling Yu came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly walked into the house, his face was also as usual, and he was not reddened by the rush just now, so he gave Mrs. Ling a salute very respectfully, and provoked Mrs. Ling to resentment and love, "You kid, just our mother, where are there so many courtesies, what's the urgency to hurry over?"

Mrs. Ling's words made Ling Yu slightly stunned, and she touched her cheek embarrassedly, only feeling that it was still a little hot, but she didn't know that the red had dispersed, and she secretly said in her heart that it hadn't fallen yet, and her mother saw it, so she had to bow respectfully again, "Ji'er went out early today, and she couldn't greet her mother, so she hurried over after returning home, and asked her mother to forgive me." ”

When Mrs. Ling heard him say this, she was angry and laughed, and finally sighed with disgust, "You kid, everything is fine, but you are too disciplined and polite, our family, what is the big deal." It's also worth running over like this, if I have a grandson in the future, let his father be erudite and talented, I don't dare to let him teach. ”

Ling Yu was laughed at by Mrs. Ling, and when she saw her talk about marrying a wife and having children, her heart relaxed slightly, and she understood that Mrs. Ling had turned this page, so she had to stand there and listen carefully, and chatted with Mrs. Ling for a few words.

Speaking of the back, Mrs. Ling thought of Ling Lang. After all, his two sons and daughters. The gap is really too big, so I don't want to worry about it, I sighed in my heart, and then I looked at Ling Ji and asked, "In the last few days." Lang'er didn't go home either. It looks like it's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's hard to have a case to do, no matter how busy you are, it's a daughter's house, so it's good to go home and see more. ”

Ling Yu knew that Mrs. Ling was also helpless. Although he supported his sister in his heart, he was not easy to talk back to his parents, and at this time, he listened to Mrs. Ling's words, so he had to open his mouth to persuade him, "Lang'er is also for the safety of the people in the city, I remember that before Lang'er left, he told me that he seemed to have gone to Luozhou, but he has been gone for two or three days, and he must be able to come back soon, after all, he has not heard of any major cases in the capital recently, so my mother can rest assured." ”

Speaking of her own daughter, Mrs. Ling has a belly to say, in the past, in front of outsiders, she could only be dignified and steady, but now in the face of Ling Yu, she is no longer willing to pretend to be reluctant, for so many years, she has long lost the resistance and anger at the beginning, and has long become a mother's biggest compromise and only expectation,

"I don't ask her to be like an ordinary daughter, as long as she pays more attention to safety when handling cases, and can come back more when she has time, I am a mother, and I am relieved, alas, I think Feng Ze's child is also a good one, as long as they are willing, Lang'er is happy herself, and I will be satisfied as a mother." ”

Ling Yu listened to Mrs. Ling talk about Feng Ze again, her heart moved slightly, and she was a little helpless, how could he intervene in emotional matters, his younger sister, since she was a child, was different from other women, and her bravery and freedom regardless of the world was what he, a scholarly brother, envied and admired the most.

Ling Yu listened to Mrs. Ling talk about Ling Lang for a while, and then talked about the Mid-Autumn Festival for a while, and then made a salute and retired.

After Ling Ji went down for a while, Mrs. Ling summoned a family member, thought about Bao Qi, who had just left, and whispered so many orders, the man obeyed the order and went down with a stern face.

Thinking of Fang Cai's instructions, the sorrow between Mrs. Ling's eyebrows deepened, and her thoughts drifted to a long time ago, today she seemed to sigh too much, but she still couldn't help but sigh again.

It didn't take long for the servant to come back and report the situation to Mrs. Ling in detail, and Mrs. Ling was shocked when she heard it, and her tone was very surprised, "What? The plague? All burned to death? How could this be, it turns out that the plague a few days ago is actually related to them......

Mrs. Ling's voice gradually became smaller, and finally it was so faint that she couldn't hear clearly, and she glanced at the servants below, and then waved her hand and said, "You go down first, don't mention it to anyone at this time, it's okay in the future, and don't come over again." ”

Although the servant was not outstanding, he was very cautious and capable, and he lowered his head and said yes, and left without saying a word.

Seeing Mrs. Ling's face abnormal, Fuqiu knew that what happened was not simple, and silently dismissed the people in the outhouse, so she carefully stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Ling, and waited silently.

Mrs. Ling didn't know if she had noticed Fu Qiu, she only looked at the air in front of her with a slight pause, as if she had seen something through the air that others couldn't see, and said in a low voice as if talking to herself, "Destiny...... Mandate of Heaven...... It seems that God still doesn't want me to find it, and even this last clue has been cut off early......"

Fuqiu rarely saw Mrs. Ling like this, she has followed Mrs. Ling for a lot of years, she fled from other countries, if it wasn't for Mrs. Ling to rescue, she would have been a dead person now, where is there such a chance to survive, because she is also very loyal to Mrs. Ling, seeing that Mrs. Ling is unstable, she also frowned and greeted softly,

"Ma'am, what bothers you need the help of the slave?"

Mrs. Ling withdrew some of her gaze at this time, glanced at Fuqiu beside her, and her eyebrows tightened, "Could it be that my clan really can't escape the punishment of heaven......

……

On the way back to Qi Mansion, Bao Qi kept thinking about all of Mrs. Ling's words in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the stronger the intuition became, and the deeper the worry in his heart...... She seems to have felt that once she takes that step, there will be a more terrible scene than the abyss ahead, and all her life will be annihilated.

After returning to Qi Mansion, Bao Qi was keenly aware of the strangeness of the atmosphere, although all he saw along the way was only a maid, but this weirdness could not be waved away, but Bao Qi only thought about the Ling Mansion in his heart, and hurried back to ask Qi Rong about something, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
