Chapter 404: Turmoil (2)

Mrs. Ling gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and she was even more painful to her only beloved daughter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoNow that I suddenly heard that the Lu family was in trouble, I don't know what the emergency will be. Nine times out of ten, they will come to the capital.

Ling Jingshu snorted and didn't say anything.

Jiang Shi was also in the mood to speak, and was relatively speechless for a moment, and then dispersed.

Guozijian is the highest institution of learning in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and most of the people who can study in Guozijian are the children of official eunuchs, and they are well-informed. The news of Lu Ping's imprisonment and the Lu family being escorted to the capital soon reached the ears of Ling Ji and Ling Xiao.

The two brothers were shocked and immediately asked for leave to return home.

When he saw Uncle Ling with a sick face, Ling Ji was shocked and hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed: "Father, why did you suddenly become so sick?" ā€

Where is this pretending to be sick, it is clearly really sick!

Uncle Ling coughed a few times before he whispered, "I took a long vacation to recuperate, of course I have to be really sick." Do you really think that everyone else is stupid? ā€

To do a play, you have to do a full set! He blew the cold wind for several nights before he became this virtuous. In this way, even if someone comes to visit the patient, they can't pick out the thorns.

Ling Ji looked at Uncle Ling, who was sick, and he really didn't feel good in his heart.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "Why does Uncle bother with his body like this. "To put it mildly, Uncle Ling is not too young. If something really goes wrong, it won't be you who will suffer in the future.

Uncle Ling didn't care, pulled the corners of his lips and said, "Okay, I know the intentions of the two of you brothers." These are extraordinary times, and this is the only way to get rid of all suspicions. ā€

"Both of you brothers have also remembered that you must be low-key and cautious in everything in the future. Don't say anything you shouldn't say. If someone deliberately asks about the Lu family, you just don't know what to do. ā€

Ling Ji frowned and said, "Although we are not close to the Lu family, we are serious in-laws. It's impossible to completely dissociate yourself from the relationship. In my opinion, on the cusp of this storm, cousin Xiao and I are better to avoid it. Just on the pretext of my father's illness, my cousin Xiao and I took a long vacation together, and said that we would serve in the house. ā€

Ling Xiao also nodded in agreement: "What my cousin said is true." We brought all the books back and read more books on our own weekdays, so that we would not delay our studies. ā€

Uncle Ling hesitated slightly, then nodded in response.

……

As Uncle Ling expected, since he reported his illness, many people came to visit him. Acquaintances and friends came to visit sincerely, and there were also those with bad intentions who came to Lingfu to inquire about the news under the pretext of visiting the sick.

Fortunately, Uncle Ling is really sick. The sick look on that face can't be pretended. Let those with ill-intentioned intentions go home.

These disturbances did not have much impact on Ling Jingshu's life.

She stayed in the boudoir every day, embroidered some pillows and silk handkerchiefs to make shoes and socks, and waited for marriage with peace of mind.

Ling Xiao was originally a little flustered, but seeing Ling Jingshu so calm, he quickly calmed down. Reading hard in the room every day, there is a bit of a sense of quietness in the middle of the noise.

Half a month later, the Lu family was escorted to the capital.

It was inconvenient for Uncle Ling and the others to come forward, so they quietly sent the steward of the mansion to inquire about the news.

The steward went for most of the day before he came back to report: "There are more than 100 people in the Lu family, to say the least, and after getting off the dock, they were sent to the prison of the Criminal Department in a prisoner car. The old slave didn't dare to get too close, but the aunt and cousin, the young master and the aunt and grandmother were all locked in a prisoner car, and the old slave saw it. The clothes are quite neat, and the spirit is not good, especially the aunt and grandmother, who are thin and almost out of shape. ā€

Uncle Ling's eyes flashed with water, but he didn't say anything, waved his hand silently, and motioned for the steward to step back.

Sun stopped the steward again and commanded in a low voice: "You go to the account room and pay a few hundred taels of silver and send it to the head of the prison of the Criminal Department." Let people take care of their aunt and grandmother's family of three, and don't let them suffer in prison. ā€

The steward hurriedly answered and withdrew.

Seeing Uncle Ling's sad and low face, Sun comforted in a low voice: "Master, don't be too sad. That's all we can do. ā€

After a pause, he said: "Mother-in-law, they came to the capital after receiving the letter, calculate the distance, and now they are almost in the capital." I've had people pack up their accommodation. ā€

This time, the Ling family, young and old, came to the capital. One is for the Lu family, and the other is for Ling Jingshu to marry. At least you have to stay until the end of the year.

Uncle Ling barely cheered up: "I can't afford to be sick, so I have to worry about everything." ā€

Sun sighed: "Don't say that, master. In this situation, I should be busier. ā€

Now, Uncle Ling has to be glad that Ling Jingshu has climbed the door to have a good family affair.

Regarding the in-law relationship between the Ling family and the Lu family, Uncle Ling couldn't speak clearly, and if he couldn't say anything, he had to go to the Criminal Department to "explain".

Now it's just a sickness, and I've avoided the turmoil. For the sake of Empress Wei, everyone showed mercy to the Ling family. It's a blessing in misfortune.

……

Three days later, the Ling family finally arrived in the capital.

Uncle Ling was still lying on the bed. Sun personally led Ling Jingshu and the others to wait at the main entrance. After waiting for about half an hour, I finally saw a long train of carriages returning.

Because the family came, the dowry specially prepared for Ling Jingshu was also transported to the capital, and ten carriages were used. At a glance, the momentum is immense.

In addition to the second master Ling's family, who was still in office, did not come, even the fourth master Ling, who was not very convenient for his legs and feet, also came. Fifth Master Ling personally helped the white-haired and sluggish old lady Ling to get out of the carriage.

It was inconvenient to speak at the door, so Sun led a group of people into the main hall.

When everyone saw each other, they wanted to say hello.

Because of the Lu family's suffering, there is always a bit of panic in this excitement.

Mrs. Ling is over 70 years old, her body can't bear the bumps along the way, and she is worried about her daughter's family, and she doesn't know how many times she cried along the way. His face was wrinkled, he looked very old, and he had completely lost his former spirit.

Li has also lost a lot of weight, and his former beauty and shrewdness have been greatly reduced.

Ling Yu completely injured one of his legs and needed to be supported when walking. At this time, he leaned timidly behind Li, looking timid and silent.

Ling Ting has matured a lot, standing beside Ling Wuye, he is high-spirited, and there is more confidence in his eyebrows that he didn't have before.

Obviously, after Ling Yu injured his leg, Ling Ting, the eldest son, had a different status in the fifth room of the Ling family.

Ling Jingshu's gaze skimmed over Ling Yu's slightly pale and thin face, and her heart was indifferent.

Either way, Ling Yu at least survived. In his previous life, Ling Xiao was so badly harmed by the Li family, and now that Ling Xiao has ended up like this, it is no wonder that others are no wonder. (To be continued.) )
