Chapter 132 A child without a mother is like grass
The matter was not exposed, and Lingchan felt at ease. She was not sick in the first place, and she "recovered" after drinking the bee water.
Lingli refused to give up and asked what happened just now.
Lingchan said calmly, "I don't know where the jade pendant my mother left me was lost. I asked her to look for it, but she couldn't find it. The jade pendant is thousands of years old. My mother left a handwritten note asking me to
Wear it close to your body and never leave it. Unexpectedly...I can't help my mother..."
After saying that, she began to cry, thinking that she had never met her mother, and that the most beloved person left her only a letter and property... Thinking of the sadness, she cried even more.
Liu Wanting was warm-hearted and loved to fight against injustice. She deliberately asked, "Ah? I know your jade cicada, it is a great thing. So, were you still wearing it last night?"
Lingchan covered her face and cried, then nodded.
Liu Wanting said wisely, "Then it fell into the house, not on the bed, but on the ground. Why don't we ask the girl to go back and look for it now? You and Lingli share a common room, and then ask... Look at the girls around Lingli."
Are you there?" She looked a little deliberately.
Lingli's eyes were gloomy, "My girl didn't see it!"
Liu Wanting smiled and asked, "You didn't even ask, how do you know you didn't see it?"
Lingli: "They don't have such shallow eyelids! They won't pick it up if they see it!"
Liu Wanting said, "No? Then...hehe, your girl's eyelids are not that light..."
Lin Zhixiu looked at Lingli curiously, blinking: The implication is that the master is not sure?
Lingli's face turned red, "Lingchan! What are you talking about again? My mother is also your mother, do you know what filial piety is? That piece of jewelry was made by my father to wear it! How did my mother know where it came from?
You spread the news about your family to the outside world again and again, what good is it for you?! You are proud of your mother being criticized by others? "
Lingchan cried and said, "Where did I say that? That set of jewelry was worn by my mother when she got married! I don't know how many relatives saw it! Why do you have to say that I spread it? My uncle wrote to ask, saying
If you want to check the accounts and property, I won’t let you come! What else do you want me to do?”
Lingli was furious. This confirmed that her mother had touched her father's original wife? This girl was like a sheep at home, and she came out to cause trouble? Okay! Then I'll see if you can go back! Sneered.
"I don't know if you are really embarrassed or pretending to be embarrassed. You are doing these things to embarrass the family when you come out! I will ask my mother to take us back right away. Don't show your face outside!"
Lin Zhixiu coughed and asked Zhang Pei, "Why didn't I understand? Why are there so many mothers?"
Zhang Peike became patient, "Sister Lingchan's mother was Uncle Ling's first wife, who died when she was very young. Sister Lingli's mother was Uncle Zheng's house-filler. The two are not biologically related to the same mother. However,
Both Mrs. Ling should be the mothers of the two sisters Ling. Sister Lingchan's mother is the first wife and has a higher status."
She explained so carefully...
Of course Lingli knew that the house-filler was a low-born mate, but when he heard what Zhang Pei said, his face turned red with embarrassment and he felt that he really couldn't stay in the Zhang family anymore.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Oh, that's it, no wonder..."
Lingli put the dirt on Lin Zhixiu's head and said, "Is there anything strange? Miss Lin, please explain!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Isn't it strange? A younger sister is also a step-sister. Talking to her sister in such a tone, tsk tsk! Where have you seen it before?!"
Lin Zhiying looked at Lin Zhixiu with a half-smile: Haven't you seen it? The tone and content of your conversation with Lin Zhirong are better than this!
Lin Zhixiu glanced at her and smiled guiltily, "Sister Zhang Pei knows that both my parents are dead, but I am in the Lin family and my two sisters respect me! Even if I want to say something, even if it is wrong, the two sisters will respect me."
You listen first, and then you comfort me!"
Lin Zhiying saluted Lin Zhixiu, "What the third sister said is never wrong. My sister is in total admiration!"
Lin Zhifei coaxed, "What the fourth sister said is what I want to say!"
Lingli said, "You!" Looking at the few people present, they all turned away from him and stomped away.
Everyone laughed, even Lingchan burst into laughter.
Mrs. Zhang came over and invited everyone to come over for dinner. Zhang Pei said, "Let's go, let's go have dinner."
Zhao Fang said, "What about Lingli?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Sister Pei, ask the girl to invite her. If she doesn't come, ask the chef to send one over. We can't starve the guests!"
Zhang Pei nodded and said: "Yes!"
Lingchan quickly wiped her tears, the girl touched up her makeup, and the group walked out.
Lin Zhixiu and Lingchan walked together. Lingchan didn't know what to say, "It's the first time I met Miss Lin and you helped me like this. It shows that the saying "love comes from the heart" is a good one!
Lin Zhixiu smiled, "Haha, this matter is not complicated, and you don't need to speculate. Mr. Zheng... here is the letter, I opened it and read it!"
Lingchan became nervous again.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Because I saw Zheng Xian's name and the girl's delicate handwriting."
Ling Chan: "What the girl means is..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Can you tell me briefly first?"
Lingchan said, "My mother's natal family has an old relationship with the Zheng family. After my mother's death, my mother's family took me to live there for a few years. There, I met Mr. Zheng who returned to his hometown. We continued to exchange letters after that. When I returned to the capital, I also
We met secretly and made a lifelong promise. But his mother always felt that I lost my mother at a young age and had no brothers...she was not willing. Anyway, he has worked hard for so many years, and his mother was so entangled by him that she couldn't help it.
, came to propose marriage, but do you know? My stepmother... Haha! She refused! Such a good marriage that can make the Ling family proud, she actually refused..."
Lin Zhixiu raised her eyebrows, "This is normal. People are sometimes evil for no reason. What's more, her reasons are very good!"
Lingchan said, "After I returned to Beijing, she treated me very badly. A child without a mother is like grass... If it weren't for Mr. Zheng's promise, I really wouldn't be able to survive. Later I found out that my stepmother was touching my mother's dowry.
. Then I realized that although her family background is good, she is a concubine and has no dowry. She has given birth to children again, so she is eyeing my mother's things."
Lin Zhixiu thought that she was probably the woman that Zheng Xian brought back in the previous life. However, she was very decisive in her letter, saying that if things between the two of them failed, the responsibility did not lie with him, nor with her, it was just out of luck! Take care of yourself in the future.
…
Then why did you become his concubine again?
Lin Zhixiu didn't know that in her last life, this letter had been leaked and Lingli had gotten it. As soon as she returned home, her stepmother sent her to the temple.
The news was strictly controlled and no one knew about it. After Zheng Xian got married, he found out about it by chance and took her back to Zheng's house.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Well, you can marry Mr. Zheng, but her daughter cannot enter such a family. If you get married, your mother's property will definitely be taken away. So, she would rather you not get married, or become a monk!"
It is possible that I will kill you."
Lingchan nodded, "Actually, for so many years, I have lived only by the hope of getting married to him... But now, I am living just to prevent that bitch mother and daughter from getting my mother's property smoothly! I would rather live...
Even if you burn it, you won’t leave it to them!”
Lin Zhixiu said, "You are right. However, maybe it can be better. It depends on people!"
Ling Chan asked, "This is the first time that the girl and I have met. Why did the girl help me? Judging from the girl's temperament, she doesn't seem to be able to..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "You don't look like someone who would open other people's letters privately? Haha... Mr. Zheng's fiancée, the head of Wenhua County, is a relative of my family. With this marriage, she is so proud!"
Lingchan's face was very complicated. "Mr. Wenhua County, her background has given her good luck. Mr. Zheng is a good person."
Lin Zhixiu said, "If you are born well and have good luck, you should also give others a way to survive! What's the point of crushing everyone? Maybe I just want her to understand that treating others as human beings will reduce luck.
…”
Ling Chan: "She...you..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Originally, I didn't plan to care too much about her. After all, it's not a life-and-death feud! I'm busy, how can I have time to think about her? However, I still want to take a fancy to the opportunity that comes my way.
Just take a look!”
Ling Chan said, "But the matter has come to this, what else can be done?"
Lin Zhixiu asked, "Will you go to Qiu Xie?"
Lingchan shook her head, "My father is not in the capital, so my family can't handle such a thing!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "I will go, and I may meet Mr. Zheng. You think about it yourself, how to tell him. I will tell him your situation and see if there is any solution."
Lingchan said excitedly, "It will be difficult...it's already like this at his place. And at my house..."
"Why did your stepmother refuse?"
"My stepmother said, Qi Dafei is an idiot."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Let's take it one step at a time! No matter what, it's better than burning all your mother's dowry and seeking death!"
Lingchan said, "Miss Lin, I'll put that letter and Yuchan in your hands first, and I'll get them back when it's convenient! When I get home, they will definitely go through them again..." She bit her mouth in humiliation.
Lin Zhixiu said, "You really trust me! Okay, I'll take it first. I won't betray your trust!"
————In Prince Cheng's Mansion, Li Cheng came back and said to Wu Dong with great interest, "I brought back a lot of fish. You can arrange for someone to send some to my second brother."
Wu Dong smiled and agreed.
Li Cheng suddenly remembered something, "Send some to Fourth Brother!"
Wu Dong smiled and agreed again, and went out to make arrangements.
After a while, Wu Dong came back. Fish was cooked on the stove and wine was prepared. He said to Li Cheng, "Master, I happen to have something that I want to talk to you about."
Li Cheng said, "Okay! It's quiet today! Let's talk while drinking."
The two of them drank for three rounds, and Wu Dong said, "Sir, the Wu family..."
When Li Cheng heard this, "What happened to the Wu family?"
Wu Dong said, "The Wu family came to see me."
Li Cheng put down his wine glass and said, "Who came here?"
Wu Dong smiled bitterly and said, "It's my... original brother."
Li Cheng knew something about Wu Dong. He had a bad impression of the Wu family when they kicked him out, and his tone was not very good: "What did he want from you?"
Wu Dong said, "I have said a lot... You also know that originally, this branch of my family... was a branch. Mr. Wu Ge came from the main branch. My family's business is not as big as the main branch, and the talents are not as many as the main branch. Especially, the main branch
The branch also gave birth to Mr. Wu Ge."
"Wu Ge is always your uncle?"
"Yes, they are descendants of my great-grandfather's cousin."
"Oh. It's been several generations."
Wu Dong nodded, "Brother said, Mr. Wu Ge's body is not as good as before. Mr. Ge's eldest son, who has been working for several years, was replaced by someone from Xiao Ge's family. Now, the family... If Mr. Wu Ge's body is not good enough,
If something unexpected happens again, I'm afraid there will be a very difficult road ahead."
Li Cheng almost said he deserved it, rolled his eyes and asked, "Why is he telling you this?"
Wu Dong was in a daze, "My brother said he gave me a condition to go home."
Li Cheng asked, "What are the conditions?"
"He said he wants the Wu family's granddaughter to marry you and become the princess!"
Li Cheng was surprised, "Marry me?! My royal concubine must be decided by my father. What's the use of telling you? But if there are other positions, the Wu family's daughter... can't do it, right?"
Wu Dong said, "That's what I said too!"
Li Cheng asked, "What next!"
"Haha, he said, if you are willing, they will naturally find a way."
Li Cheng blinked, "That's not right, Uncle Dong?! If you marry me, you will only be a princess in the end. I have no other future! His eldest daughter of the Wu family, can I be satisfied with just a princess?"
Wu Dong smiled, "My lord, you have a lot more thoughts!"
Li Cheng shook his head proudly, "That's..."
Wu Dong said, "Actually, I don't quite understand. To be honest, the prince is not in good health, but the emperor has no intention of appointing another prince. I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble in the future!"
"Well! I have nothing to do with it anyway!"
Wu Dong thought: The Wu family may know that the prince is not involved. So, is it through the prince to give certain support to the person they like?
Li Cheng said, "Uncle Dong, what do you mean?"
Wu Dong said, "I have no resentment when the Wu family kicked me out. But it is definitely my hope to return to the Wu family. If they value me, use me, and even let me hand over a large sum of money to the family, I will
I don’t mind. However, I can’t allow them to take advantage of you. No matter how good or bad this eldest daughter is, I don’t want you to make a choice because of me. If the emperor directly grants the marriage, no one can object. If not, then
It all depends on your own wishes. Wu Dong will always be yours, and your interests will come first in everything."
Li Cheng said, "My marriage may have to wait for Qiu Liehou. In fact, I don't want you to get involved in my marriage, please! Ignore them. If I have a way in the future, I will overwhelm the Wu family."
, invite you back. If not, Uncle Wu, my son, will respect you as an elder. Don’t worry about your old age! Li Cheng will care for you whether you live or die..."
Wu Dong smiled and said, "I know! I want you to have some peace of mind about this. The Wu family's work is not as open and aboveboard as it seems."
Li Cheng "I know!"
————After the Autumn Hunting Palace banquet, she didn’t hear any good news about Yan Yun. Lin Zhixiu couldn’t help but laugh. She fumbled with Ling Chan’s jade cicada and saw that it was a good thing...
…
Thinking about this time in the last life, Yan Yun had already started to climb the ladder step by step because of Mai Suichai. Lin Jiangwan was so proud that she couldn't get enough of playing the piano at the Yan family, and she often went back to her parents' home to play the piano!
————Then there was a rumor in the market that Princess Xingrong, for some unknown reason, broke the leg of a popular dancer named Yao Yue.
After Qi Erlang heard the news, his face turned pale and he clenched his fists.
Autumn hunting has begun, and the male and female protagonists are finally going to meet. I’m exhausted...
