Seeing that Yan Qingge no longer mentioned the matter of entering the palace immediately, Yan Xiuyu finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Yan Qingge's heart was heavy, and at this time, the parrot brother outside the door walked in and said, "Niangniang, the carriage is ready." ”

Yan Xiuyu glanced at Brother Parrot, and Brother Parrot immediately shrank his neck, and realized that he had done something wrong.

This carriage was originally intended for Yan Qingge to use in the palace, but now that Yan Qingge is not in the palace, he naturally can't use it. Yan Xiuyu persuaded for so long before Yan Qingge entered the palace, Ruyi mentioned this matter at this time, no wonder Yan Xiuyu was unhappy.

Yan Qingge has been married for so long, of course he knows Yan Xiuyu's temper, and for the people in the family, when he is in a good mood, he is naturally kind and pleasant, and if he provokes him, it will be terrible.

Brother Parrot, this girl, is really beautiful, she doesn't need to dress up, just standing there, she can look pleasing to the eye. The disadvantage is that she is too honest, not as spiritual as the maids in other houses, but she really responds to her name, like Brother Parrot, she can only talk to people, and she has no ideas.

Originally, she was not qualified to serve Yan Qingge closely, but Yan Qingge only saw her beauty, and Brother Parrot did not covet Yan Xiuyu, so he kept using her.

Seeing that Yan Xiuyu seemed unhappy, Yan Qingge persuaded: "Okay, I said that I wouldn't enter the palace, so naturally I wouldn't enter the palace." However, I have to look at Ling Xiao, this carriage is just right. ”

During this time, Ling Xiao was strictly watched by her family, not only did she not ask people to go out, but there were also restrictions on letters, and it took almost ten days for Yan Qingge to receive a letter from Ling Xiao. Probably because the Ling family didn't want Ling Xiao to worry too much, so many things were hidden from her, and Ling Xiao probably didn't know more than Yan Qingge now.

Yan Xiuyu heard that Yan Qingge was going to Lingzhu Mansion, and immediately said, "I'll go with you." ”

The husband and wife cleaned up and went out.

It was almost noon, and the two arrived in front of the gate of Ling's house.

Yanwangfu has always been good friends with the Ling family, Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao have been confidants and friends since childhood, and the Ling family saw that it was Yan Xiuyu and Yan Qingge who came, and the report was announced, welcoming people and taking them home.

"Where's your young lady?" Yan Qingge asked.

Although in addition to Ling Xiao, there are several concubines in the Ling Mansion, but those subordinates know that what Yan Qingge said must be Ling Xiao, the serious lady of the Ling Mansion.

"Miss is in her own courtyard, I'll take my mother back." The subordinates of the Ling Mansion said respectfully.

Yan Xiuyu, as a foreign man, was inconvenient to enter the inner courtyard, so after instructing Yan Qingge a few words, he was taken away and went to see Ling Xiao's father and brother in front.

Yan Qingge had only been to the Ling family a few times before, and he didn't know much about the situation of the Ling family, and the impression he left before was that the Ling family did not have many houses, but a large area of land was vacated and used as a martial arts arena.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard where Ling Xiao used to live, Yan Qingge hadn't even entered, but he saw two girls playing with the railing on the embroidery floor, and there was a waiting maid standing behind him, who was obviously also a young lady from Ling's mansion.

The subordinates who followed Yan Qingge hurriedly explained: "After Miss Yan got married, this courtyard was empty, and there were a few young ladies in our house who were older, and the lord was in charge, so he asked them to move over." ”

Yan Qingge frowned slightly, walked in, but didn't see Ling Xiao's figure, but the two women on the embroidery floor whispered and pointed at Yan Qingge, until Yan Qingge glanced at them, they stopped, turned around and went back to the house.

With a temporary glance, Yan Qingge took a look at the appearance of the two girls. They are probably fourteen or fifteen years old, delicate and beautiful, they belong to real beauty embryos, and their mother's appearance must not be bad.

Ling Xiao lived in a single-family east house next to the embroidery building, and I didn't know whether it was used as a warehouse or a subordinate house. What made Yan Qingge most indignant was that there were two two thick maids guarding Ling Xiao's door, and he knew that he was not a good person to get along with just by looking at his face.

Hearing that there was a guest visiting, and that the capable housekeeper of the Ling Mansion personally sent someone here, the two maids let Yan Qingge in with suspicion.

After entering the door, I saw that the furniture in the house was made of rosewood, with an atmospheric style, exquisite workmanship, and a layer of perfect pulp on the surface. The table is arranged, the wall is hung, all of them are fine, the air exudes a faint fragrance of smoke, there are fresh melons and fruits with dew on the table, and the curtain is made of small white pearls......

There is even a small round jar carved from a whole piece of transparent crystal, about the size of an adult man's fist, and there are a few small red and blue fish in it, which are lively back and forth in the water, filling this silent house with a bit of popularity.

Obviously, Ling Xiao was not doing well at home, but Yan Qingge clearly felt very uncomfortable.

No matter how comfortable the room is, it is also under house arrest, and the room where she lived before was occupied by her sister-in-law, and she can only live in a house that she can't step in before, this breath, not to mention that Ling Xiao absolutely can't swallow it, even if it is put on Yan Qingge's head, she can't accept it.

Lifting the bead curtain, Yan Qingge saw Chunni moving the embroidery pier and sitting in front of the window, doing needlework.

Chunni caught a glimpse of someone coming, and when she saw that it was Yan Qingge, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute and whispered: "I saw the princess Niangniang, and our young lady fell asleep." ”

Before the words fell, there was a rustling voice on the bed, and a somewhat weak female voice said, "Who is it?" ”

Hearing that weak voice, Yan Qingge's nose couldn't help but be sour, cleared his throat, and said, "It's me!" Ling Xiao, you go back to sleep. ”

The voice on the bed immediately became louder, Chunni and Yan Qingge walked quickly to the bed, Chunni stepped forward and hugged Ling Xiao, who was struggling to get up, and said distressedly: "Miss, you slow down!" ”

Ling Xiao didn't lose weight, but the color of his face was terrible, his whole face was swollen, and he looked like he had gained a lot of weight, and his bright eyebrows were tortured by the sick appearance.

Yan Qingge was startled and held Ling Xiao's hand: "What's wrong with you?" Why bother tossing your body so much. She couldn't hold back, and tears flowed down her face.

"Don't cry! Hey, I haven't even cried yet, what are you crying about? Ling Xiao sighed and said to Yan Qingge: "You have only been out of the moon for a long time, so you don't have a good rest, you want to come to me, and carefully pass the illness for you." ”

Obviously, Yan Qingge came to persuade Ling Xiao to open something, but now it has become Ling Xiao persuading Yan Qingge.

"Miss Four, Miss Six. Second Miss has a guest here, please go back. The two wooden maids came from the door.

A beautiful and graceful female voice pleaded: "The second sister is sick now, and it is not easy to entertain guests, and the two of us are also kind enough to help the second sister." ”

"No need, the second lady should be able to do it herself." The two maids at the door were unmoved.

Yan Qingge remembered the two twittering girls he saw on the show floor just now, and asked, "Those two outside are your sisters-in-law?" ”

Ling Xiao nodded weakly: "Yes!" These two sisters-in-law were born to my seventh aunt and ninth aunt, and they are of the same age, and the relationship has been good since childhood. ”

"Why don't you tell your father and brother to tell them to move out? Could it be that they had a place to live for more than ten years ago, but now they have no place to live? Yan Qingge said. Thinking about it, she is absolutely unwilling to put her sister-in-law and herself in the same courtyard to live.

"I don't want to cause trouble for my mother. My dad is surrounded by those aunts now, and sometimes he talks better than I do. Moreover, if I upset my father, it will not be good for my brother. Ling Xiao said vaguely.

Yan Qingge immediately understood, Yan Qingge had heard Ling Xiao say before, most of the aunts in the Ling Mansion were not fuel-efficient lamps, and even if they gave birth to concubines from the outside of the nest, they still fought fiercely with each other. Ling Xiao's mother has a big heart, relying on her high status and strong family, she doesn't take these goblins in her eyes at all, and only takes care of her daughters one by one.

But now, Ling Xiao's mother is seriously ill, and seeing that she has a lot of gas and a little air intake, she can stay up for one more day, and those concubines, concubines and aunts are all making a fuss.

This can't all be blamed on Ling Xiao's father, among those concubines, there are really a few more outstanding, plus the pillow wind of those aunts, now Ling Xiao and Ling Lie's day is not so easy.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Yan Qingge sighed for a while, and held Ling Xiao's hand: "Don't worry, everything will pass." ”

Ling Xiao smiled at Yan Qingge: "I know! When I'm well, everything will be fine. ”

Yan Qingge looked at Ling Xiao's expression, and seemed to vaguely remember the intention of returning to the Zhongwang Mansion, and asked tentatively: "Ling Xiao, how did your family get the matter of you and leave now?" ”

Ling Xiao's face froze: "There is still no quasi-letter." Water Muge ...... Brother Shuimu, he doesn't want to leave, and I don't want to. ”

Looking at Ling Xiao's pitiful look, Yan Qingge didn't know how to say it at all.

Shui Mu hurt her again and again, but after sleeping, Ling Xiao completely forgot about the cruel things this man had done to her, which made Yan Qingge want to wake up Ling Xiao with a bang.

In this case, Yan Qingge really had no other way but to tell the truth about what he knew before, and said, "Ling Xiao, do you know? Your Brother Shui Mu is now very capable, and together with the Four Emperors, he wants to promote Yuan Jin as the emperor's grandson. ”

Ling Xiao's face was stunned: "Really? But...... But my father and brother didn't tell me. ”

Just when Yan Qingge was about to say something, a soft female voice came from the window: "Second sister, my brother and father haven't told you, but everyone else in the family knows." You just have a good time and don't cause any more trouble at home, okay? ”
