Chapter 653: Family Banquet

Ling Shengzhi watched the third aunt leave.

Jiang's heart was moved, and his eyes were full of affection when he looked at Ling Shengzhi.

She came over and said to him, "Husband is tired, right?" I'll rub your shoulder. ”

Ling Shengzhi did not refuse.

Seeing this, Jiang became even bolder.

Pressing, Ling Shengzhi said: "It seems that you have a good relationship with your second brother and sister. ”

Jiang Shi was stunned for a moment, and the strength in his hand suddenly increased.

Ling Shengzhi frowned.

Jiang Shi hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, husband, did it hurt you?" ”

Ling Shengzhi's expression softened, and he said lightly: "I haven't been so squeamish. ”

"That's good." Jiang exhaled lightly. "But husband, why do you say that?"

"You don't really think that this doctor was arranged by the old lady, do you?" Ling Shengzhi said lightly: "What a stupid girl." The old lady eats fasting and recites Buddha all year round. The last time the second brother was injured like this, she didn't come out of the small Buddha hall. She stayed in the small Buddha hall all day, how could she possibly know what was happening in the house? The other three aunts are good friends with the second siblings. Just now her maidservant was carrying a pastry, and the pastry smelled good. Except for the second brother and sister, who else in the house has such exquisite pastries. So I think it must be the second brother and sister who care about your safety, so they arranged for the doctor to come over. ”

Jiang listened calmly to Ling Shengzhi's words.

"If it's really a brother and sister, I'll thank her another day." But she was not unsympathetic to her.

"Listening to your tone, it seems that there is some misunderstanding about the second brother and sister?" Ling Shengzhi patted the back of her hand. "Alright, don't press it. I'm fine now. ”

Jiang Shi let go and said, "There is no misunderstanding. ”

"Tell me about it." Ling Shengzhi said: "I am your husband. What can you tell me? Maybe I can help you. ”

Ling Shengzhi looked at her lightly.

Jiang opened his mouth, but hesitated when he was about to say it.

She......

Can you really say to him?

He had never asked her about it before, why did he care so much about her now?

"Husband, why do you care so much about me?" Jiang said.

"You and I are one flesh. One is prosperous, and one is lost. Ling Shengzhi said: "So, what can't be said? Is there anyone closer than us? ”

Jiang blushed.

Ling Shengzhi's comfort to her also gave her courage.

"That'...... Can you save my brother? ”

"Your brother?" Ling Shengzhi raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong with my uncle?"

"He ......," Jiang reddened. He got into trouble outside and was arrested by the criminal department. ”

"The Criminal Department? Zhu Hou is now in charge of the Criminal Department. The second brother and sister and Zhu Hou have such a deep understanding, if she says a word, it should be more useful than me. Ling Shengzhi said.

"The second brother and sister are high and bright. How can I bother her with these things? Jiang sarcastic.

"It seems that she begged, but she didn't agree." Ling Shengzhi took her hand. "What a poor girl. Your health has been getting worse and worse during this time, is it because of this incident? ”

"Not really." Jiang was held in Ling Shengzhi's hands, and his heart was pounding. "Many things have to be worried, and as time goes on, we become weaker and weaker."

"Tell me anything in the future. Although I don't have an official position, I still have a few good friends outside. Ling Shengzhi said: "Brother's affairs will be arranged by me." He'll be out tomorrow. ”

"Really?" Jiang Shi looked at Ling Shengzhi in surprise.

"Hmm." The corners of Ling Shengzhi's mouth rose. "Don't worry!"

"Great." Jiang Shi happily hugged Ling Shengzhi. "Thank you, husband."

Ling Shengzhi said 'fool'.

Jiang was so happy that he didn't notice that the maid standing behind Ling Shengzhi showed a look of disdain.

During dinner, Ling Shengzhi and Jiang were summoned by the housekeeper, saying that Ling Guogong had asked them to go to the lobby for a family banquet.

When they arrived, Chu Yuqin and Ling Shengyi also arrived.

Old Madam Ling sat on the top seat. Duke Ling and Duchess Ling sat below the old lady. Immediately after that was the position of Ling Shengzhi and Jiang.

Although Ling Shengyi is the son of the family, he is the second in the family, so he still has to be in the lower position of Ling Shengzhi.

"Didn't I send someone to inform you a long time ago? Why is it so late? Ling Guogong said unhappily.

"Please forgive my father." Ling Shengzhi said lightly: "People with inconvenient legs and feet will inevitably delay a little time. ”

"Alright." The old lady said, "Zhi'er is here. What about Jia'er? Why didn't you see him? ”

Duchess Ling Guo said embarrassedly: "Mother, Jia'er is still in the academy and has not returned. ”

"He is still in the academy or Chunxiang Building, but I am afraid that only he knows. Now the whole capital is talking about him. Old Madam Ling sneered. Even if I eat fasting and chanting Buddha all day long, the news can still reach my ears. ”

"Let my mother worry about it." Ling Guogong said: "If you see that unfilial son another day, you must punish him severely and let him remember it for a long time." ”

"We're going to get married soon. If you care about him in the future, I'm afraid it will make people laugh. I told you a long time ago not to get used to him too much. You will not listen. It's good now. The youngest baby, the son, is such a useless waste. Those old guys in the capital are afraid that they will laugh to death in our Lingguo Mansion. Old Madam Ling said.

"Mother, you can't say that. Jia'er is still a good boy. Those people are talking nonsense. Duchess Ling Guo said: "As for the matter between Jia'er and the Zhao family, it is clear that the girl of the Zhao family has bad intentions. Mother, think about it, the girl of the Zhao family originally wanted to be the concubine of the prince. Later, I must have felt that it was better to be a concubine than a wife. Our Jia'er is simple and easy to deceive. That's why she fell for her plan. ”

"It doesn't matter if what you're saying is true or not. Even if it's true, doesn't a man who has been deceived by a woman think that he is even more stupid? Old Madam Ling said coldly.

"Mother......" Duchess Ling Guo's face was full of embarrassment. You're still young! ”

"When Yi'er was his age, it seemed that he had been reused by the emperor." Old Madam Ling stabbed the knife again. "That's it. Don't talk about that. This has come to this, and it will not help to say any more. Let's talk about kissing! How's the dowry going? ”

Duchess Ling Guo looked at Chu Yuqin: "This is going to ask Yi's daughter-in-law." ”

Chu Yuqin raised his eyes and looked at Duchess Ling Guo: "Mother, daughter-in-law is all up to you!" ”

"Look at me? Didn't I write you the bride price? Duchess Ling Guo said coldly.

"Mother, you wrote me the dowry list. Could I just send the dowry list directly to the Zhao Mansion? I didn't see the dowry, how can I send it? Chu Yuqin looked helpless.

"No dowry?" Old Madam Ling said, "Show me the dowry list." ”

Chu Yuqin had already prepared it. She handed the dowry list to Zhu Xue next to her. Zhu Xue handed it to the old lady beside Mrs. Ling again, and the old lady handed it over to the old lady.
