Chapter 408: Visit

It was not easy to pass the message to the palace.

Fortunately, Ling Jingshu and Wei Yan had an agreement. If there was any emergency, someone would send a letter to the Imperial Hospital. Tiandong would go back to the Imperial Hospital every day and could bring the letter to Wei Yan.

Ling Jingshu wrote the letter that day, and Wei Yan received it the next day.

Two days later, Wei Yan came to Ling Mansion.

Old Mrs. Ling was so anxious that she heard that Wei Yan was coming and came out to greet him in person.

Wei Yan came to Ling Mansion for the first time as the future son-in-law today, so he could not wear half-worn cloth or official clothes. He deliberately wore a stone blue brocade robe, and his hair was tied up with a white jade crown. He looked handsome and had an outstanding temperament. When he stood there, his extraordinary demeanor was already impressive.

"This must be Doctor Wei!" Old Lady Ling smiled amiably: "He is indeed a handsome man with extraordinary bearing. I have really broadened my horizons today."

Wei Yan smiled and bowed his hands, respectfully performing the etiquette of a junior: "Wei Yan greets Old Lady Ling."

Old Lady Ling smiled warmly and said: "In a few days, you should call me grandmother. We are a family, so there is no need to be so reserved."

She sent a maid to invite Ling Jingshu: "Please ask the young lady and the young master to come over. Just say that Doctor Wei is here, and ask them to come out and see him."

She was so enthusiastic that she could not be more enthusiastic.

In theory, an unmarried couple should not meet again before getting married. Even if Wei Yan came to visit, the Ling family should let Ling Jingshu avoid him.

Old Lady Ling ignored all this and let Ling Jingshu come out to see Wei Yan. It also shows how eager she was to win over Wei Yan.

Wei Yan had already known the whole story in the letter, and he was quite disgusted with Old Lady Ling. Although he wanted to see Ling Jingshu, it was too rude for Old Lady Ling to do this.

If it got out, Ling Jingshu's reputation would inevitably be damaged.

"Please wait a moment." Wei Yan stopped the maid who was delivering the message and running errands: "Just ask Ling Xiao to come over. Ah Shu doesn't have to come out."

The maid was startled and looked at Old Lady Ling reflexively.

Old Lady Ling was also stunned. But Wei Yan explained politely: "According to the customs, it is unlucky for unmarried couples to meet before getting married. Please forgive me for being rude."

Old Lady Ling blushed. Wei Yan said this, isn't it secretly accusing her, the elder, of being rude.

Fortunately, Old Lady Ling is old, and she has to be thick-skinned. After blushing, she smiled nonchalantly: "I didn't think it through. Forget it, let Ah Shu stay in the room and let Ah Xiao come."

Wei Yan smiled and said no more.

...

This little episode soon reached Ling Jingshu's ears.

Ling Jingshu couldn't help but smile, and a faint sweetness surged in her heart.

Only when you really care about someone can you consider it so carefully. You would rather endure the pain of lovesickness than be criticized.

Yes! They will get married soon, and there will be more time to stay together in the future. What's the harm in seeing each other more or less at this time?

Bai Yu volunteered: "Miss, I will go to the front hall to take a look. If there is anything, I can tell you in time."

Ling Jingshu smiled and nodded.

Bai Yu went there for about half an hour before returning to report: "I was outside and didn't hear the old lady and the son-in-law talking. However, I heard that the old lady specially kept lunch for the son-in-law."

It seems that Wei Yan has perfunctorily dealt with Old Lady Ling according to her wishes.

Ling Jingshu raised the corner of her lips and casually ordered: "I'm hungry too, go set the table!"

Bai Yu responded with a smile, and he and Qiao Yun were busy setting the table.

Although they couldn't meet, knowing that Wei Yan was not far away, Ling Jingshu was in a particularly good mood, and she ate one more bowl than usual before putting down her chopsticks.

...

At the same time, in another courtyard, Li had a gloomy and twisted face, and her eyes were full of anger.

Ling Yu sat aside and whispered: "Mom, why don't you eat?"

"Eat, eat, eat! What do you know all day long except eating?" Li immediately yelled at Ling Yu.

Ling Yu was scolded so much that his eyes were filled with tears, and he lowered his head and cried.

Li scolded her son and felt a little distressed. She wanted to coax him a few words, but she really didn't have the mood!

Changed! Everything has changed since Ling Yu injured his leg.

Ling Yu was originally smart and clever, and was quite popular with Master Ling Wu. But now, Ling Yu has become a complete cripple and has no future.

While Master Ling Wu was disappointed with his youngest son, he was much better with his illegitimate son Ling Ting.

Li was angry and anxious. Ling Xiao's eyes were cured, and Ling Jingshu was pointed out by Queen Wei to be such a good marriage. In the future, wouldn't the fifth room become the world of Ling Xiao's siblings?

Therefore, as soon as she arrived in the capital, she couldn't wait to show her power to Ling Jingshu!

Unexpectedly, she failed to show her power, but embarrassed herself. Not only was she severely scolded by Mrs. Ling, but she was also scolded by Master Ling Wu when she came back. Later, Mrs. Ling agreed to the conditions proposed by Ling Jingshu in order to plead for mercy and save Ling.

When Li knew about it, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Ling Jingshu asked for so much dowry as soon as she opened her mouth. Originally, it was the property that should be divided among the fifth room. Now it has become her dowry. What should Ling Yu do in the future? What's even more infuriating is that Old Lady Ling also agreed to let Ling Xiao live in the Wei family. How can she control Ling Xiao in the future?

As a stepmother, she has completely lost face.

When Wei Yan came to visit today, Fifth Master Ling didn't even let her go out to greet the guest.

She is the proper mistress of the Fifth House and the stepmother of Ling Jingshu. Now she has been slapped in the face again and again. How can she have the face to manage the Fifth House in the future!

Ling Yu's crying could be heard from time to time. Li barely suppressed the gloom in her heart and coaxed Ling Yu for a while: "Okay, don't cry. Mother didn't mean to scold you. I was just in a bad mood just now."

Ling Yu cried for a long time before the crying gradually stopped.

An hour later, Master Ling Wu came back.

Li hurriedly forced a smile and greeted him: "Why did the master come back so soon? Could it be that the son-in-law has left?"

Master Ling Wu hummed: "The emperor is in poor health and can't leave him for a moment. It's not easy for him to take time to come to the Ling Mansion. He really has no time to stay."

In his tone, he was obviously very satisfied with Wei Yan, his son-in-law.

There was indeed nothing to be dissatisfied with.

In terms of appearance, character and family background, Wei Yan was unmatched in every aspect. Although it is not as good as the Crown Prince, it is also a very good marriage.

Seeing Ling Wuye smiling, Li became more jealous and annoyed, and instigated him intentionally or unintentionally: "Does he really have the ability to save people? Don't brag without doing anything. If that happens, we will suffer a loss, not only losing gold and silver, but also not saving anyone."
