"Well, I'm really fine! It's you, I obviously asked Ah Qi to invite grandma over, why did my father-in-law and Jinrong also come? ”

Ling Ling diverted the topic as he pulled the three of them to the tea table and sat down.

"After receiving Miss's letter, Jinrong also missed Miss very much, so she instructed Mingcheng to take care of the affairs of Mingcheng and quietly came to Night City with Grandma."

Jin Rong looked at Ling Ling with some grievances, obviously promised the deceased old lady to take good care of their young lady, but since three years ago, the time for them to get together is simply numbered.

"Good Jinrong, I miss you too! It's been a really hard time for you these days. Ling Ling patted Jinrong's shoulder comfortingly, "It's not very peaceful in Overnight City now, I'm afraid you won't be able to go outside when you come back this time." ”

Jinrong immediately shook her head, "I'm just here to see Miss." It's okay if you don't go out! ”

Seeing her sincere appearance, Ling Ling's heart warmed, yes, there are so many people around her who are good to her, why should she cling to those who don't belong to her?

"What about the father-in-law?" She turned her eyes to look at Huo Yun, "This time I came to Night City, but what's the matter?" ”

"What happened during the time you came back? Does the emperor or anyone else in the palace embarrass you? Fang had just heard Ah Qi tell him about what happened after Ling Ling came back, and he was a little worried.

Ling Ling shook his head, "It's not a big deal, it's just that someone who has seen Xiahou Ling before wants to confirm my identity." Her tone was flat, and she said it lightly.

Huo Yun always felt that things were not as simple as she said. But Ling Ling's appearance in front of him was very calm, and he had to wonder if he was thinking too much, he shook his head,

"Well, if there's anything, tell me."

Ling Ling nodded, and he said again,

"This time I came back, it is the annual autumn hunt of the White Seal Kingdom, and as a guest secretary, I have to come back every year to participate."

Ling Ling's gaze froze, "Autumn hunting? ”

She searched for Xiahou Ling's memories in her mind, and she seemed to remember that every September, Xiahou and his wife would take her out once, but she always stayed in the tent and never paid attention to what was happening around her.

"Well, this is the tradition of the White Seal Country, and all the officials from all over the country will be invited to the hunting ground ten miles outside the city. Go on a three-day hunt. ”

"Will the concubines in the palace go with them?"

Huo Yun thought for a while, "Every time, the emperor will bring two concubines to go forward together. ”

Then the concubine who is just being favored will definitely go along. Thinking of this, Ling Ling's gaze became deep,

"Father-in-law, if I say I'm going to do something during the hunt, and this matter won't implicate Longyunmen, can my father-in-law allow me to do it?"

After all, she was labeled as Long Yunmen, and Huo Yun treated her like a father, and she wanted to get his consent.

Hearing her say this, she was even more sure that something must have happened to her in the past few days when Ling Ling came back, her lips were pursed into a line under the mustache, and her deep and slightly wrinkled eyes looked at Ling Ling,

"Can you tell me what you're going to do?"

Ling Ling looked at the rice paper on the desk on the side where the ink had dried, and said softly,

"It's not a big deal, it's just that someone wants to get me in trouble, and I need to strike first."

The atmosphere in the room fell silent, Luo Rujin remained silent, sat casually on the side, and looked at Ling Ling thoughtfully with lazy phoenix eyes.

Huo Yun looked at the expressions of everyone in the room, thinking that Ling Ling's call to Luo Yijin to Night City must have something to do with what she said, she didn't want to tell him, and she didn't want to involve him, he collected his thoughts, got up and said,

"You are the young master of Longyun Gate, just do whatever you want, remember safety first in everything, if something happens, your father-in-law will bear it for you!"

Looking at the serious look on Huo Yun's face, his eyes were full of unconcealable love, Ling Ling's eyes were a little red, and a warmth welled up in his heart, he stepped forward and hugged him, a tear seeped into the clothes on Huo Yun's shoulder, only to hear her,

"Thank you, Dad."

Huo Yun, who was called "Dad", was happy in his heart, he had heard her call him "Dad" in Longyunmen before, although he felt that this title was a little strange, but it sounded more pleasant and cordial than his father-in-law, and at this moment, he couldn't tell what it felt like, so he felt that it was very kind.

The dark clouds in his heart caused by Ling Ling's concealment of him instantly dispersed. The corners of his mouth under his mustache twinked, his deep and shrewd eyes bent into a crescent moon with wrinkles, and he gently patted Ling Ling's back,

"Daddy sounds good! In the future, you are not allowed to call your father-in-law, just call me dad, haha. ”

Ling Ling left Huo Yun's shoulder, sniffed, and looked at his father's smile in his eyes, and sneered,

"Yes, Dad."

The more Huo Yun listened, the more pleasant he became, and he noticed that Luo Bijin and Jinrong on the side were looking at him with a smile, he cleared his throat, put away his smile, and said seriously,

"The autumn hunt starts the day after tomorrow, and if there is anything, we will arrange it as soon as possible. Dad, I'll go and see what's going on in the store, so I won't bother you. ”

After that, he nodded to Jinrong and Luo Bijin, turned around and smiled, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and pushed the door to leave.

"Spirit girl. You're a bit of a godfather. ”

Luo Yijin looked out the door and quipped.

Ling Ling shook his head with a smile and closed the door.

She walked to the desk and handed the rice paper with the three big characters "Murong Xue" written on it to Jinrong and Luo Rujin, she raised her eyes lightly, her gaze was cold, and she went straight to the point,

"The autumn hunt is less than two days away, and the time is pressing, I want to ask my grandma to guide me more accurately than three years ago, I wonder if grandma is willing?"

Luo Rujinfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, in fact, when Ming Cheng learned that Ling Ling asked her to quietly return to Night City, she probably guessed that it might be related to Murong Xue, but she didn't expect that Murong Xue would still have trouble with Ling Ling today, both sides had feelings for her, and she fell into deep thought for a while.

"Grandma, I know you are very entangled, but do you know what, she once sent someone to forcibly take me into the palace late at night, and stunned me with incense, just to confirm my true identity, if someone hadn't arrived in time to save me, I didn't dare to think about what would happen after that. I'm only doing this for my own safety. I hope you understand, I promise, that it won't hurt her. ”

Ling Ling didn't want to talk about these things, but to deal with the current Murong Xue in Night City, she had no other way than to use the grandmother who knew her best, even if it would put her in a dilemma.

When Jinrong heard this, she suddenly felt a chill on her body, and she didn't dare to think that what Ling Ling said had really happened. Luo Rujin was no exception, her phoenix eyes widened, and she looked at Ling Ling with a serious face with some surprise.

"That's it," she sighed softly, "don't tell me what you're going to do, girl, I'm just teaching you a lesson." ”

There are some things that she can't control, but she can change, since she can't stop it, and she can't bear it, then let it be fate!

The corners of Ling Ling's lips hooked, "Thank you, grandma." ”

……

On the day of departure, Huo Yun and his party sat in the carriage arranged by Bai Yixiu early in the morning, and followed the royal team to the hunting ground outside the city.

Ling Ling took Jinrong to sit in a carriage with Han Tian, bored on the road, she was leisurely eating pastries, her eyes casually looked at Han Tian who was sitting opposite her and beside him, who looked mediocre and submissive, and glanced at her little entourage from time to time.

"Why did you have time to play in Night City this time?" She asked casually.
