Chapter 186: Breaking the Mind
The main table used by Ling Shandao was a large round table large enough to sit more than ten people, and the people in the seats, Gong Bai and Zhang's three families were all there, and the rest were close relatives of the Ling family.
Ling Yiyi toasted the elders at the table, said a few more polite words, and was about to leave, but was stopped by his second uncle Ling Shanzhi.
I don't know if Ling Shanzhi pretended not to understand or really didn't understand, Ling Yi's family affairs can be described as a taboo topic in the Ling Mansion, but he didn't take it seriously, so he casually brought it up, and said that there were one or two men who were optimistic.
Ling Shandao's face was displeased, and before he could blacken his face, Ling Yi laughed, not feeling embarrassed and shy at Ling Shanzhi's question, but calmly admitted that he had an idea in his heart.
These words provoked everyone at the table to look at her curiously.
Gong Xiru's heart shrank slightly, and he looked at Ling Yi intently, even he didn't notice it, his breathing was already unconsciously slight.
Ling Shandao couldn't care about Ling Shanzhi's anger, and asked tentatively, "Fusheng-you really have an idea?" β
Ling Yi nodded affirmatively: "Well, this is not a difficult matter, in my opinion, among these sons present today, Bai Gongzi is the most gentle and elegant, Bai Gongzi is talented and intelligent, I am very happy." β
Ling Shandao was stunned for a moment, looking a little shocked, a little happy, he was also optimistic about Bai Lang, if Fusheng really liked this kid, then Ling Mansion and Bai Mansion were not going to marry their children.
Bai Shuheng didn't expect it, and laughed: "Uncle Zhong, you girl is a powerful character, just with today's courage, it is not something that ordinary daughters can have."
If we save the brocade, we can be looked at by the floating beings. That's naturally the best, and in the future, the two of us will have to communicate more. β
A seemingly random sentence. In fact, it is necessary to settle the situation, Ling Shandao secretly kept this matter in his heart.
It's just that it's not appropriate to talk about it at the moment, so he said with a haha: "Make it, anyway, this matter is not in a hurry, come on, come on, you can come to celebrate the little girl's birthday today, it really gives me face in Lingfu." I'll do it first for respect. β
Gong Xiru silently stared at the dish in front of him, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Bai Lang was even more stunned, looking at Ling Yi speechless.
Ling Yi smiled sweetly at him. Fu turned and left.
The second monk of Bai Langzhang was puzzled, what kind of idea did Ling Yi have?
If it was someone else, he wouldn't think much about it, but the person who confessed was Ling Yi. He had to think about the implications. At least he wouldn't be sentimental about whether Ling Yi liked him or not.
The news spread like this, and the eldest lady of the Ling Mansion confessed to the eldest son of the Bai family in public, and it seemed that the two families must be about to have a good thing.
When the news reached the backyard, the Lan family was chatting with several other old ladies about Ling Yi, and when she heard such news, she thought it was a random rumor, so she immediately called Ling Yi in front of her to ask in person.
After getting Ling Yi's affirmative answer. Not only did the Lan family not think Ling Yi was too bold, but happily took the latter's hand and asked, "Do you really like that kid in Cunjin?" β
Ling Yi seemed to be smiling. If you don't answer or deny it, it looks like you really have some thoughts.
When she was embarrassed to answer, Lan let her go and chatted with Mrs. Zhao instead.
Ling Yi sat down at the table and only ate two bites of food before she felt her cuffs being torn apart.
She looked back, but it was Bai Miaoqi, and she wondered, "Where are you going if you don't eat?" β
"Come here, come here, I have something to say." Bai Miaojian pulled again.
Ling Yi saw that the Lan family was chatting with Old Madam Zhao, so she didn't say anything, and got off the table directly.
Bai Miaoqi walked in front, and walked around the corridor before coming to the outer courtyard before stopping.
Secluded and deserted here, Ling Yi asked, "Is there anything you can't say inside?" β
Bai Miaoqi looked at her quietly, her eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows were all delicate and beautiful, and it was the first time she had seriously observed Ling Yi, but she felt that it was extremely beautiful.
Such a woman is really worthy of her eldest brother.
"I know everything you said in the front yard." Her face was a little gloomy that she didn't even know.
Ling Yi smiled: "That's not a secret, you know it, I don't plan to hide it, didn't I just say it that day, I want to be your sister-in-law." β
Bai Miao's face turned slightly pale, her hands clenched unconsciously, and her eyes locked tightly on Ling Yi: "Are you serious?" I just thought you were joking that day and didn't take it to heart.
Haven't you always liked big brother very much? Why did you suddenly change your mind? β
Ling Yi was puzzled: "When did I dislike your eldest brother." β
Bai Miaojian hung her head, and her voice became lower and lower: "I don't know, I always feel that every time you see the eldest brother, the eldest brother is nervous, and even wants to avoid you. β
She raised her head and looked at Ling Yi earnestly, with expectation and fear in her eyes.
Ling Yi said blankly: "Why? You don't like me marrying your big brother? Why? Your eldest brother has also reached the age of marrying a wife, and I will be able to marry next year, do you really want me to never marry for the rest of my life? β
"I'm notβno, I don't mean that." Bai Miaoqi was anxious.
Ling Yixiao bent over: "Look at you, I'm kidding." β
Bai Miaojian frowned, "Don't make such jokes anymore, I asked you for a marriage blessing bag, just hoping that you can find a good marriage." β
Ling Yi nodded and said gratefully: "I know, the marriage is predestined, if God really arranges it for me, then when the matter comes, I will still follow my fate." β
"Heyβ" Bai Miaoqi sighed and sat down on the edge of the porch, looking very unhappy.
Ling Yi also sat down next to her and asked, "What's wrong?" Are you still worried about your family? β
"I don't know, I'm just panicking." Bai Miaojian gently rested her head on Ling Yi's shoulder, staring at a certain place in a daze.
A trace of sadness flashed in Ling Yi's eyes, but he smiled: "If I don't marry your eldest brother, what do you think?" β
Bai Miao raised her head and asked her in disbelief, "Really?" So what did you mean in front of everyone? β
Ling Yi didn't ignore the joy in her eyes, feeling more and more sad in her heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Miao Hairpin, you must know that even if it is not me, your eldest brother will still marry a wife after all, and that person will neverβneverβbe you." β
Bai Miaoqi looked at her blankly, and for a while, as if she had heard a big joke, she laughed and said, "What are you talking about, he is my eldest brother, how can you say such a thing." β
"If I don't say it, you won't think like this in your heart, you don't know, you like your eldest brother." Ling Yi added another fire.
Bai Miaojia's face was red and then white, and she was stunned for a while, before she stood up and said angrily: "Fusheng, how can you talk like this, I like my eldest brother, that's because he is my eldest brother, will he still hate his eldest brother as a younger sister?"
You misunderstood what I meant, okay, I won't say it, if you really like big brother, then I bless you. β
She hurried away after saying that, not wanting to stay any longer.
Ling Yi looked at Bai Miaoqi's back and was fascinated.
Zhi Yu said softly: "Miss, let's go back quickly, I'm afraid the old lady will find it after a long time." β
Ling Yi said gloomily: "In her heart, how panicked and embarrassed she should be, I'm afraid that she will be like her eldest brother in the future, and she won't want to talk to me more." β
Zhi Yu was distressed: "Don't blame yourself, Miss, it's none of your business."
If Miss Bai Er didn't know her own thoughts, then how tormented she would be in the face of her sister-in-law in the future, she had nowhere to say, how could she stand it in her heart, and her hard work would be exhausted sooner or later. β
"Say, am I doing this for her good? If this layer of paper has not been pierced by me, then she can at least live in self-deception. Seeing Bai Miaoqi's panic and anger, she suddenly felt a little unconvinced.
"The eldest lady has her own ideas about what she does, as long as you think it is right, the maid will recognize you.
Although the maid is not as smart as the eldest lady, the maid knows one thing, the eldest lady, you have never done anything wrong. β
From knowing Ling Yi to the present, Zhi Yu has really never seen Ling Yi do anything wrong. It was as if everything was planned, and sometimes it was so subtle that it made her heart tremble.
"I don't live carefully, one thing, one thought, I have to let myself come up with a few more, I, ah, I don't want to do this." Ling Yi let out a long breath and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Weaving Yu persuaded her: "Second Miss Bai will understand your distress Miss." β
Back in the inner courtyard, he didn't see Bai Miaoqi, so Ling Yi asked Wang.
Wang said that Bai Miaoqi was unwell, so he went back first.
Ling Yi knew that Bai Miaoqi was deliberately avoiding her, and although she was sad in her heart, she didn't move a little on her face.
There are some things that will always have a price to do, for example, she used Bai Lang to test Bai Miaoqi's mind, and secondly, to block those relatives who want to talk about it today.
But in the same way, she lost Bai Miaoqi's trust in herself, and at the same time had to deal with the pressure from her family and the outside world.
Ling Yi didn't have much appetite to eat, so he just asked Zhi Yu to take a plate of pastries and confess to the Lan family, saying that he was not feeling well, so he would go back to the Lan Pavilion first.
Zhi Yu touched Ling Yi's hand, it was very cold, so he asked people to install a hand stove and put a pot of charcoal fire in the house before stopping.
Ling Yi ate the pastry without a bite, not knowing what she was thinking in her head, and she was stunned.
There was a knock outside the door, and Zhi Yu glanced at Ling Yi, who didn't know it, she hurriedly went out to open the door.
"Lady is busy right now?" It was Suoli who came.
"Haven't Miss Bai Er gone back yet, why are you still here?" Oriha asked.
Suo Li glanced into the room and made sure that Ling Yi was not lying down on the bed, so he said in a low voice: "I have to ask my sister for a favor, after the second lady left Ling's mansion, she walked alone on the street, and she didn't let me follow."
I think that now I am afraid that only Miss Ling can help persuade her.
The second lady is really in a bad mood, I am very worried, and I ask my sister to help report it quickly. βββ
