Chapter 22: The Guarded
The Wei family, the Wei family again! Even if she is no longer Wei Lingjue, she Li Xiao will not marry the Wei family again.
Their ambition to defend the family is unknown to others, but Li Xiao does know it. Could it be that because she killed Wei Lingjue, they would give up.
Abandon? Of course not.
The current marriage proposal is the best proof of this. They still want to go the same way as marrying the princess. Potential capital, a certain official position, for the future of the internal and external cooperation, a good foreshadowing.
Li Xiao's stiff fingers moved.
She wiped away the hatred in her eyes, lowered her head slightly, and pretended to be aggrieved.
"Father, daughter doesn't want to marry!"
Li Xiao's expression made Li Kun's pity even worse.
"Xiao'er, as my father just said, as royal children, we have too many bodies that can't help ourselves!" There was a hint of helplessness in his words. "The emperor's grandfather gave you a marriage to the Wei family, it's better than kissing!"
After a pause, Li Kun continued: "Let's talk about the eldest son of the Wei family, Ling Jue ......."
For a while, the word Ling Jue, like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, suddenly exploded in Li Xiao's ears.
Lingjue, Lingjue!
"You say, what is the name of the eldest son of the Wei family?" Compared with the abnormality just now, Li Xiao at this moment was much calmer, and she asked as if she was verifying, although her expression was a little stunned.
"Wei Lingjue!"
Sure enough, it was him, it turned out to be him.
So five years ago, he didn't die! It's so big, you can't die like that! Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
She feigned composure, not even knowing that her face was already pale as paper.
When all this fell into Li Kun's eyes, he finally noticed something was wrong.
"Xiao'er? Do you know Ling Jue? His question made Li Xiao's face even paler.
I saw her nod slightly: "I'm ...... with him"
Before Li Xiao's words could be spoken, she saw that her body was weak, and the whole person fell towards Li Kun in a daze.
"Xiao'er!"
Li Kun hugged Li Xiao, who had lost consciousness, only to realize that her body was hot.
"Come on, call the Imperial Doctor!"
In less than half a day, the Prince's Mansion was noisy again.
And in a house hundreds of miles away from them.
A lady dressed in fine clothes and with a graceful temperament was sighing while wandering in front of a house.
In the distance, the sun was setting in the west, and the faint halo of light was spread out at her feet.
Mixed with the sound of the wind, a tall figure came against the light.
Before he could get close to the lady, his voice was already a step ahead: "Why is Mother outside the door now?" These people don't know the rules too much! ”
The voice like the sound of the piano carries a thick rebuke.
"It has nothing to do with them, I'm waiting for you here!" Lady, she hurriedly spoke.
"Mother is in a hurry?" He grabbed his mother, and as he asked, he pushed the door open and went in with her.
"Son, why did you agree?"
"What if you agree, it's just to marry the county lord!" He replied easily, as if what his mother said was not a big deal!
"But you've worked hard for so many years, and it's finally going to get rid of this..., so isn't all the previous efforts in vain?"
The mother said distressedly, her eyes were full of pity for her son.
Hearing this, the son smiled brightly: "However, there are some things that still have to be guarded, especially those given by the mother, how can you let others snatch them for nothing?" ”
