Chapter 5: The Old Lady's Calculations
Ling Luo hooked his lips and sneered, didn't speak, and took a book in his hand and read it at a glance. It was impossible for the little study to lock her up, and she didn't leave because these were exactly what she needed.
This is simply a library, with all kinds of astronomical and geographical history, not only the royal family's banned books, but also the villain books that are forbidden to spread on the market, not to mention those medical books and martial arts cheats.
Ling Luo is like a sponge, desperately absorbing everything, and when he is tired, he meditates on continuous internal exercises.
Mama Wu brought food in from the small door lattice, and even the wall where the gong bucket was placed had only a small hole, which was easy to clean.
No matter what the old lady's purpose was, she accepted it all.
After a few days like this, Ling Luo closed the last book, walked to the bookcase, looked at the dozen or so solitary books on the table, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
At a glance and ten lines, when the sun was setting, Mama Wu brought food as usual. There was wine today, Ling Luo drank it happily, and asked Mama Wu to let her out.
"Miss, but you've finished reading it?" The old lady estimated that it was almost the same today, and now she was still surprised to hear her say this, there are a lot of books in this room, how can others read them in a few years?
"Naturally!" Looking at the sunset outside, the corners of Ling Luo's mouth hooked up a shallow smile.
"The old lady ordered the old slave to prepare hot water in the next room, and asked the eldest lady to bathe and change her clothes." Mama Wu's face was a little more respectful.
"Hmm." Ling Luo's expression on his face remained unchanged, but there were still ripples in his heart. The old lady was so well calculated, she was really scary to think about it.
Although it was winter, she hadn't bathed for several days, and it was a little uncomfortable, so Ling Luo went with her to bathe and change clothes. cleaned and changed into a white skirt, at this moment she is beautiful and peerless.
"Miss, the old lady is waiting for you in the inner hall." As soon as the maid put her hair in a bun, Mama Wu said outside the door, Ling Luo's eyes flashed slightly, and she walked away in response.
She's going to meet this old lady and see what she wants to play.
The old lady is still so graceful and luxurious, her face is full of charity, but there is a hint of shrewdness in her eyes. Seeing Ling Luo walk in, his eyes were full of smiles.
"Sure enough, it's the blood of the Ling family, it's extraordinary." The old lady's voice was loud and proud.
Ling Luo snorted coldly in his heart, girl, is there such a thing as putting gold on his face? Why didn't that fool see her ask half a sentence before?
"If nothing else happens to my grandmother, I'll go back." Ling Luo said coldly, now it seems that this old lady has an extremely not simple purpose, and she has no interest in participating in her plan.
"Tomorrow, there will be a banquet in the mansion to wait for Dingbeihou, you can also participate."
Dingbei Hou? It seems that the second lady really didn't want her to have a good time, so she moved in with her mother's family. The old lady originally protected her with the intention of letting her deal with the second lady and the Marquis of Dingbei, and if she won, the old lady benefited. Lost, she suffered. It's really calculating.
"There is no shortage of people in the house to entertain, and I am not bad. Besides, Dingbei Hou is the father of the second lady, and he naturally came to the house to talk to the second lady, so I won't disturb the quiet. "The whole of Kyoto knows the favorite daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei, if it wasn't for the second lady forcing each other to die, how could the Marquis of Dingbei let the second lady become a concubine. When I come to Fuzhong tomorrow, I will naturally come for her.
"Now that trouble is coming, what's the use of hiding?"
"It's really funny that the huge Shoufu Mansion would let people enter the mansion at will to ask for their crimes." Ling Luo sneered, his eyes full of coldness.
"It's getting late, go back and rest, tomorrow won't be as useless as before." The old lady waved her hand, unwilling to say more.
Ling Luo quietly returned to Luoyanju, Xuanzhu was guarding the door of the room, seeing her come back, her eyes were full of tears, chattering behind her, and her words were full of worry.
"As you can see, I'm fine, go to sleep, I'm tired."
This night, Ling Luo slept very sweetly, and didn't wake up until there was a noise outside the hospital. Ling Luo frowned, lifted the corners of the quilt, and before his feet landed, he heard a squeak, Xuanzhu pushed the door and entered, followed by a rough girl with a copper basin.
"Miss, the slave maid is waiting for you to wash." Xuanzhu said crisply, and quickly wrung out the handkerchief and handed it over.
Ling Luo raised his eyebrows and said nothing, indifferently took the hairkerchief and wiped his face. The original owner was stupid and obsessed with medical drugs, but he didn't leave too many memories of the people around him. This Xuanzhu turned out to be a practitioner, her steps were light, her breath was steady and faint and not easy to notice.
Just now, she just lifted the corner of the quilt and fell into her ears with such a slight move, and pushed the door in time to enter. If she were just a simple maid, if there was any other purpose, she wouldn't mind killing her with her own hands.
The noise outside the courtyard became louder and louder, making Ling Luo a little displeased, and asked coldly, "Xuanzhu, who is making a noise?" ”
"Miss Hui, it's the second miss's maid Cui Ping and Man Gui Manfu who are arguing." Xuanzhu took a clean skirt from the closet and said in a steady voice.
"What's going on?" This Ling Chu Nian is really haunted.
"The second lady came early in the morning, saying that she wanted to see the young lady. When the slave saw that the young lady did not get up, she asked Man Fu Mangui to stop her. ”
"Ling Luo, get out of here." But at this moment, Ling Chunian shouted extremely arrogantly.
"Hmph, dare to do whatever you want by relying on Dingbei Hou?" Ling Luo snorted coldly and said, without waiting for Xuanzhu to comb her hair, she took a hairpin and held all the three thousand green silks behind her head, and strode out.
In front of his eyes, it was Ling Chunian's smug smiling face. The long whip in her hand was dark and shiny,
There was a flapping in his hand.
"Ling Luo, if you disfigure yourself today and let me whip you, I will let my grandfather surround your life."
"Your face doesn't hurt anymore?" Ling Luo sneered, and his fluttering words made Ling Chunian suddenly explode, and he threw a whip at Ling Luo's face.
"Ling Luo, don't you think you'll be fine with the old lady's protection? In front of my grandfather, the old demon woman and the entire Ling Mansion had to be a little shorter. ”
Ling Luo's eyes sank, and he snatched the long whip and threw it to Xuanzhu: "Ruined!" ”
Xuanzhu took the long whip in a daze, gathered internal force in his hand, and the long whip was broken into several sections.
"Ling Luo, you dare to destroy my long whip, I will fight with you."
"Come on, take down the second lady." Ling took a step back and scolded.
Man Fu Mangui answered, and escorted Ling Chunnian to Ling Luo's front with one left and one right.
"Xuanzhu, give me thirty slaps." Ling Luo staggered to avoid it and said coldly.
"Miss?" Xuanzhu was stunned and didn't dare to make a move.
"Hit!" The cold voice is not a little warm.
"You dare!" Ling Chunian struggled and yelled viciously.
Xuanzhu gritted his teeth and slapped Ling Chunian in the face, and before the second slap fell, there was a loud shout at the gate of the courtyard.
"Stop!"
When Ling Chu heard this, he stomped his feet and shouted, "Grandfather, save me." ”
