Chapter 17: Hands
As she walked out of his academy, she saw the doorkeeper leading a handsome, fairy-like girl into his study through the door on the other side.
Ling Wanwan paused, looking a little distracted.
"Miss, are you tired?"
Seeing that she didn't move, Chunying asked her.
She shook her head and turned to leave.
.
After Murong Ye was knocked unconscious by Chunying, it was Su Yunqing who found him.
She hurriedly called her husband, and it didn't take long for Murong Ye to wake up.
"Lord, do you remember what happened?"
Su Yunqing asked knowingly.
"It was Ling Wanwan who did it."
Murong Ye slapped the bed hard.
Su Yunqing stroked his chest and said guiltily: "It's the concubine's fault, she was busy with the birthday banquet, so the guards were relaxed." ”
"Well, you go out first."
Murong Ye turned sideways and urged her to leave.
Su Yunqing was stunned, got up to salute him, and walked out silently with the help of the maid beside her.
"Fujin, today is your birthday, and the prince will not accompany you."
After leaving his yard, Magpie Branch dared to complain.
"Don't talk too much."
Su Yunqing reprimanded her, and couldn't help coughing a few more times.
Magpie didn't dare to say more.
In the evening, someone came to Su Yunqing to send a message, saying that after Ling Wanwan left Ye Wang's Mansion, he went to Zhao Huaiyi's Mansion.
.
After seeing Zhao Huaiyi that day, Ling Wanwan stayed in the house and waited for news.
Zhang Nianqi came back and told them that Ling Jinxiao had passed the second and third trials, and he was beaten all over his body, but he still did not admit his guilt.
Hearing the words 'bruised all over the body', Ling Wanwan's hearts all rose to their throats, but as long as they didn't admit their guilt, it was a good thing.
Ling Wanwan came to Shen Yunzhi's courtyard to calm her emotions.
"You said Jinxiao, can he come back alive..."
Shen Yunzhi looked at Ling Jingyan who was playing in the yard, his face full of worry.
Ling Wanwan held her hand, and found that her hands were cold, and she said firmly: "It must be possible, big brother, he will be fine." ”
Shen Yunzhi lowered his head and wiped away the tears in his eyes.
Ling Jingyan, who was playing, suddenly ran to her side, leaned on her legs and asked, "Why is my mother crying?" ”
Shen Yunzhi raised his head with red eyes and smiled, "My mother didn't cry, it was the sand that got into her eyes." ”
"Yan'er helps her mother blow it."
He sensibly blew the wind into her eyes.
"Okay, my mother is fine."
Ling Wanwan picked him up and coaxed him, "Is it okay to go out with my aunt to fly a kite?" ”
"Good!"
Ling Jingyan's small hand hugged her neck.
Shen Yunzhi watched Ling Wanwan and Ling Jingyan running happily in the garden, and a smile appeared on his face.
At the end of the month, Ling Jinxiao's case finally came to an end.
Ling Wanwan's complaint had an effect on Murong Ye, he couldn't convict Ling Jinxiao, but it didn't make him feel better, and finally managed to sentence him to exile on the frontier for one year.
But he was pardoned and healed from his wounds and then exiled, lest he die in the middle of the road.
When he returns from exile, he can continue to serve in the military department.
This is the best news for the Ling family.
After settling down at home with Shen Yunzhi to take care of him, Ling Wanwan was so tired that he returned to the courtyard and fell asleep.
The next day, I heard a commotion outside.
"What's going on?"
Ling Wanwan wrapped her coat and stood at the door, and saw Chunying blocking Zhang Nianzhu who wanted to enter the house.
She stared at Zhang Nianzhu, she was busy with Ling Jinxiao's affairs these days, but she didn't take care of her.
"Cousin, Zhu'er knows that you are very tired these days, and she made some pastries and wanted to give them to you, but this maid said that she would not let me into the house..."
She was aggrieved and accused Chunying.
"Come in."
It just so happened that she had something to say to her.
Zhang Nianzhu pushed away Chunying's hand and carried the food box into the house.
"Cousin, you taste it."
"It's delicious."
Seeing that she didn't move, Zhang Nianzhu picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to ease the embarrassing atmosphere.
"How is Lu Gongzi?"
Suddenly, she asked.
Zhang Nianzhu almost choked on the pastry she swallowed.
She took a sip of tea and replied, "Zhu'er may not have seen him for a long time." But now you don't have to marry the fourth prince, presumably he is relieved. ”
"Anyway, he helped me, and it stands to reason that I should go and thank him. But my current identity..."Ling Wanwan sighed, turned her eyes to her and asked, "Why don't you go to the Lu family for me tomorrow to see him?" ”
"I'll go, it's not appropriate..."
Ling Wanwan obviously saw the excitement in her eyes, but she was still trying her best to hold back.
Ling Wanwan covered her hand and persuaded her: "We are cousins, what's wrong." ”
"Hmm. That cousin, your relationship with Lu Gongzi..."
It was a long time before she dared to speak.
"By the way, help me ask when Gongzi Lu will come to withdraw my relationship with him, he is a talent, I am already an impure body, and I am really not worthy of him."
She took the initiative to say what Zhang Nianzhu wanted to ask.
Sure enough, Zhang Nianzhu left satisfied.
"Miss, do you really want to withdraw from your relationship with Lu Gongzi?"
As soon as she left, Chun Ying hurriedly put away the pastries.
"Hmm."
Ling Wanwan nodded.
"But the slave looks at Lu Gongzi, it's very good."
Chunying felt that if Ling Wanwan could marry Lu Zhiheng, it would be a good destination.
Ling Wanwan smiled and didn't speak.
On the second day, Zhang Nianzhu deliberately dressed up before going to find Lu Zhiheng.
