Chapter 405: Protection
Seeing that Old Lady Ling had a tired face, Sun Shi hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law has worked hard all the way, let's settle down and rest first!" ”
Old Lady Ling was full of anxiety, how could she have the mind to rest, and insisted: "I'll go to see the boss first." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The Sun family couldn't resist Mrs. Ling, so they had to respond.
Old Lady Ling was going to visit Uncle Ling, and everyone else had to follow. The group almost filled the room, and all the servants were sent out.
Old Mrs. Ling looked at Uncle Ling, who couldn't hide his illness, and suddenly felt sad, and then thought of her daughter who was locked up in prison and whose life and death were unknown, and she burst into tears: "My son! How did you get sick like this? And my poor daughter! God is really unfair enough to let my children suffer like this. This is ripping out my wife's heart alive! ”
When Mrs. Ling cried, everyone in the room also shed tears.
Uncle Ling also burst into tears instantly, and when he called out to his mother, he couldn't cry.
In the midst of the crying, Ling Jingshu's calmness was particularly eye-catching.
Li habitually wanted to find fault and pick thorns, and while wiping his tears with a handkerchief, he said: "Ashu, you girl, why are you so hard-hearted." Your aunt's family is in trouble, aren't you sad at all? ”
When Li opened his mouth, Ling Wuye subconsciously looked at it. Seeing that Ling Jingshu's expression was really calm, she didn't shed any tears, and she was really annoyed: "Ashu! Didn't you hear your mother say what you said? ”
"I'm not deaf, how can I not hear."
Ling Jingshu pushed back without softness or hardness: "However, the matter has come to this point, and no one can save my aunt's family." What's the use of crying here! It's better to think about how to make them eat and live better in prison. ”
Ling Wuye was choked and almost couldn't get up: "You...... You disobedient and unfilial thing! How dare you talk to me like that! If you climb up to a good family, your waist will be stiff, and you won't put my father in your eyes, right? I will never spare you today! ”
Ling Xiao stepped forward without thinking, stood in front of Ling Jingshu, and said in a deep voice: "What Ah Shu said just now is not wrong at all. The father only listened to his mother's words, and then came to blame Auntie, which is inappropriate. ”
Ling Xiao had grown into a young man, half a head taller than Ling Jingshu. It is like a budding tree, sheltering those behind it from the wind and rain.
Ling Jingshu's heart warmed, and she said in a low voice: "Ah Xiao, you don't have to worry about me. I asked myself if I had done anything wrong, and I was not afraid of my father's rebuke. Get out of the way, I'll say to my father. ”
Ling Xiao didn't move, and said without looking back: "You are standing behind me." With me today, no one wants to bully you! ”
Then, he looked up at Ling Wuye, his eyes were clear and firm: "Father, the Ministry of Rites sent an auspicious day two days ago, and Ah Shu will get married on November 20." Counting, but there are still two months left, and she is about to get married. These two months were also the last period of time she spent at her parents' house. ”
"I hope that Ah Shu will happily get married, and no one will block her at this time. If my father insists on punishing me without asking any questions, he will punish me. ”
"Anyway, since childhood, our two sisters and brothers have depended on each other, except for the love of our grandmother, I never know what it is like for our parents to cherish them."
Ling Wuye: "......"
The last sentence was like a slap in the face, slapping Ling Wuye hard.
Over the years, he has indeed been a little negligent with these children. However, he is a man, so he can't stay in the inner house all day to take care of his children! The affairs of the inner house should all be handed over to the Li family......
"Father must have felt that it should be my stepmother's business to take care of us."
Ling Xiao no longer called her mother, but used the word "stepmother" unceremoniously: "Stepmother looks good on the surface, but she ignores our sister and brother in private." I am blind and need to be cared for. Only Ah Shu loves me, and my grandmother takes care of me. Otherwise, I, the serious sister-in-law of the Ling family, will become a pitiful worm that no one cares about. ”
"When I came to the capital to treat eye diseases, I was also accompanied by Ashu. My father had to stay in Dingzhou to take care of my grandmother, and he couldn't accompany my son. As a son of man, I will not and dare not complain. ”
"Now that my eyes are cured, I am studying diligently in the national prison, hoping to earn a future for myself in the future. It can also become Ashu's dependence. Father never thought about doing anything for Auntie. I was probably thinking about whether I could get some practical benefits from this family business. ”
"As for the stepmother, seeing that Ah Shu has such a good family business, I am afraid that I will be unhappy in every way. That's when the egg picks a bone and deliberately instigates it. I wish my father would lose Ashu's face fiercely! ”
"I really don't know if my father is really confused, or if he is pretending to be confused. Can't you see something so obvious? Or do you want to push the boat down the river and take this opportunity to take care of Auntie, so that you can instruct Auntie to contribute to her mother's family in the future? ”
"If it is the former, I advise my father to keep his eyes open in the future and not to be easily deceived by others. After hearing a few rhetorical words, he angrily scolded us, which cooled the hearts of our children. ”
"If it's the latter, then it's even more unnecessary. Ah Shu has endured a lot of hardships in the past few years, and after getting married, she has lived a peaceful and comfortable life. If my father wants to take a career and gain a foothold in the capital, it is better to plan for himself. Don't count on your own daughter. ”
Ling Wuye's face turned red and white.
Li Shi also looked embarrassed.
The long-standing fig leaf was uncovered so mercilessly. She, the stepmother, was powerless in the face of the accusations of the original concubine.
Ling Jingshu's eyes were already blurred with tears.
The cowardly boy who used to hide behind her has grown into a man who stands up to the sky.
It used to be her who took good care of him. Now, it was his turn to stand in front of her, to cry out for her, to shield her from all the wind and rain.
With this moment, it is worth it no matter how much she pays.
Ling Xiao's words clearly reached everyone's ears. For a moment, everyone stopped crying.
Even Old Lady Ling wiped her tears and opened her mouth before Fifth Master Ling became angry: "Old Five, you shut up for me." ”
"What time is it? Family things are one after another, and our family should be huddled together, with our hearts in one place, and our strength in one place. Don't be fooled at this time. Don't say that it cools the child's heart, even I, an old woman, am not happy to hear it. ”
Fifth Master Ling snorted stupidly.
Old Lady Ling glared at Li again and scolded, "You can also give me some peace and quiet." As soon as he arrived in the capital, he instigated the fifth child and his children to make trouble. If that's the case, you'll roll me back to Dingzhou. You will never be allowed to come to the capital again. ”
Li's scolded face was dusty, and he lowered his head gloomily, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore. (To be continued.) )
