For several days, the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion was very lively, and the relatives and friends who walked around a lot on weekdays, or did not have much contact with each other on weekdays, all came to visit the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. It seems that the rumors have become a fact, and they have confirmed the identity of Ling Xiao, the ruler of the country.

Of course, Ling Xiao was not idle, he took care of the Ling clan up and down, and he also sent someone to his hometown to pick up Uncle Ling to come to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, seeing that Leng Qiuye became Ping's wife, it was done.

And Ling Xi hadn't been out of the room for several days, except for Ginkgo, she didn't see anyone, and stayed in the room all day. The food that Ginkgo biloba delivered to her room every day, she only tasted a few bites, and the whole person lost a lot of weight.

"Miss, you are talking, you are like this, I look so worried." Ginkgo said distressedly.

Ling Xi still looked out the window and didn't say a word. She watched the birds flying in the sky...... It's just a pity that she's not a bird.

"Go out for a walk, you haven't left your room in days."

One of Ling Zhu's feet had already stepped into the house.

Ling Xi looked at Ling Zhu and said weakly: "There are so many people coming and going in the Hou Mansion these days, it is annoying to watch, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine." ”

After speaking, Ling Xi leaned against the window and continued to look at the sky, how many people knew on her seemingly calm face that she was trying her best to hide her entanglement and uneasiness.

Ling Zhu slowly came to Ling Xi's side, helped her up from the window, and then said softly, "Then let's go to the outside of the mansion and see the bigger sky." ”

Ling Xi's carriage stopped in front of a teahouse in Yicheng, she slowly got off the carriage and followed Ling Zhu into a private room on the second floor. Ling Xi looked at the stage, wasn't this the play she was dragged by Ling Zhu and pulled to watch on the night of the Shangyuan Festival?

Ling Xi looked at Ling Zhu who was listening to the play intently, she couldn't help but sneer, it turned out that it was fake to come out to breathe, and it was real to bring her to the teahouse to watch the play, but why was it this play?

"My brother really has a heart, I know that I haven't finished watching this play that night, so I specially brought me to take a look, I don't know, I still think my brother is trying to hint at me?"

Ling Xi deliberately tested Ling Zhu, she thought it should not be a coincidence.

"On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, you left early, you didn't finish watching this play, this play is a total of two folds, the upper fold is about the rich girl and the young master eloped for love, but the next play is about the rich girl and the young master elopement, their love was not recognized by the young master's family, the young master's family even said "hire for the wife and run for the concubine" to humiliate the rich girl, but the rich girl would rather become the concubine of the young master for love, but their love was only difficult to maintain for a few years, After that, the young master cruelly abandoned the rich girl and married the daughter of a high-ranking official. The rich girl can no longer go back to her parents' house, and her husband's family is gone, and she is lonely. Ling Zhu watched the opera downstairs and talked to Ling Xi seriously.

An indescribable sense of disgust arose in Ling Xi's heart, and she looked directly at Ling Zhu.

"This is what my mother asked you to tell me, is it because I am afraid that I will follow the example of that rich girl, and go over the wall in the middle of the night to run to my lover, and lose the face of the Hou Mansion, right?"

Ling Zhu was silent, he kept looking at the stage downstairs, as if he had no intention of answering Ling Xi's words head-on.

Ling Xi was completely angry, she walked towards the door excitedly, she didn't want to stay here for a moment, she didn't know the person in front of her, it was so strange that it made her feel terrible.

"Those are what my mother wants me to tell you just now, and what I want to tell you today is that I will ask Dr. Yan to recommend me to join the army on the Xihua border, if I can make good achievements on the battlefield, I believe that Your Majesty will be wise and martial and will not treat me lightly, even if the third sister becomes the queen and has the heart to embarrass us, I can also earn a stable environment for my mother and fourth sister, Mengqi and you."

Ling Zhu's words were like nails, nailed to Ling Xi's heart word by word......

"It is fate for a military general to go to the battlefield after that, and it is also a glory for the horse leather shroud, which is my glory. I haven't been able to go to the battlefield before, it's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, I'm just worried that if there is an accident, my mother and you will be helpless in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion. The glory of the family should not be exchanged for a woman's marriage, if the fate of the family must be a trade-off between you and me, I hope it is I who stand up...... And not the second sister you. ”
