Chapter 14 The Entanglement in the Temple and the Crisis
"Don't you feel ashamed that the son of the county said such Meng Lang's words?" Li Ye said angrily.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Luo Liang originally planned to put on a handsome man's demeanor. Fortunately, he showed off in front of the beauty, but he heard Li Ye ask himself so much, especially such a poor boy. I felt a little uncomfortable. I looked at Ling Xiao again, and I became even more impatient. I said, "I don't want to suffer, just get out of the way!"
The big man around him knew the master's wink. Hearing what his son said, he immediately came forward to do it, but he was stopped by a delicate cry.
"Brother, what's the matter?" Luo Sheng and Yue Chan came out, looked anxious and asked.
Several people who were about to do something suddenly started and looked at the two of them.
"Shang'er, hehe, what a coincidence." Luo Liang smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing. It's just to join in the fun and ask for a signature."
He was originally fooled by Luoshang. Naturally, he knew that she would also be here, but he just saw the beauty. He was excited for a moment and forgot about it. Now that I see it, it is natural to be a little more upright. Although I am not afraid that she will go to her father to complain, as a big brother, she can't go too far in front of the girl. In particular, Luo Liang took a look at Yue Chan, and the daughter of Phoenix Mansion was still there.
Yue Chan walked to Ling Xiao and pretended to care, "Sister, what's wrong with you? You don't look well. Are you tired?"
Her purpose today is just to let Luo Liang see Ling Xiao. As for the future, she will proceed according to her plan. Outside, you don't have to make too ugly. After all, it is still related to the reputation of the Ling family.
"Nothing." Ling Xiao took a deep breath and said calmly, "This gentleman has never asked for a signature. Just ask a few words. There is nothing else." With that, he took a look at Li Ye.
Li Ye stared at Luo Liang fiercely and didn't do anything.
What? Sister? This time, Luo Liang was dumbfounded, just like Luo Shang's reaction when he heard this before. He looked at Ling Xiao again. Although he didn't know the families of the adults and women, would the magistrate's daughter wear such a rag shirt? But what is the identity that can make Ling Yuechan shout at her sister?
"Brother." Seeing his brother like this, Luo Zhang gently pulled his sleeve and reminded him.
"Well... Ah, yes, yes, you see, this girl also said, just asking, hehe, just asking." Luo Liang smiled, and then asked tentatively, "Is this girl actually the daughter of Ling Zhifu?"
"Son Mr. Luo, which rural village girl do you think can let Ling Yuechan shout 'sister'?" Yue Chan asked with a smile. Seeing that the people around her showed a different color, she seemed to be explaining, "My sister doesn't like to go out. She is frugal by nature. What's wrong? I heard that Mr. Luo is usually very elegant. Don't you think he is also such a vulgar person who judge people by appearance?"
"How can it be? My brother must have seen you, the eldest lady. He was so nervous that he couldn't even speak. Luo Shang came forward with a smile.
Ling Xiao no longer cares about the pretentious people. He turned his head and asked the crying girl, "Where is your home? Go back quickly." You don't have to ask more to know that it must be Luo Liang who wants to flirt with the girl.
But the people don't fight with officials. This is a big deal, and it's not good for her. Although Ling Xiao didn't say this clearly, she thought that as long as she was a slightly smart person, she should understand this.
Sure enough, the girl was also a sensible person. Seeing that she didn't have to be entangled by the bully, she wiped her tears and whispered, "Today, thank you for your help. If there is a chance in the future, Mo'er will do her best to repay today's kindness."
To say this stranger, he just happened to hit Ling Xiao and called for help in a hurry. Unexpectedly, he was really saved by Ling Xiao.
This is the end of what happened in Lingqi Temple. Nothing happened in the end.
However, on the third day after returning, Ling Xiao suddenly learned the news that her father had decided to get married for her.
According to Fubo, the prince of Zhixian had come to the house to propose marriage the day before, but the master had to think about it carefully and agreed this morning.
Think about it carefully, it took a day. Ha ha, Ling Xiao sneered in her heart. One day, her lifelong happiness was settled. Probably, she deserves to waste a day with her father.
"I don't know which prince in the county magistrate." Shen Murou frowned tightly and was very worried.
"There are only a few prefectures in Phoenix Mansion. There are only two who have sons and are more than fifteen years old." Ling Xiao's heart was cold.
Although the son of the county magistrate of Natong County has more than 20 years old, he has a wife. With her understanding of her father, no matter what he does, he will not let his daughter give it to others, especially the son of his subordinates.
Well, the only one left is Luo Liang, the son of Fengtai County.
Thinking of the situation in Lingqi Temple that day, Ling Xiao became more and more disgusted. His nails were pinched in the palm of his hand and he didn't notice it.
"Singer, then, Luo Liang... but he has a bad reputation?" Shen Murou looked at her daughter's bad face and asked worriedly. She almost never goes out and knows nothing about these news, but Ling Xiao has heard more about it.
Ling Xiao took a deep breath, reluctantly suppressed the panic in his heart, and comforted his mother, "Mom, don't worry, it's okay. Father, I don't think it's too difficult for me. But when it came to the last few words, the voice unconsciously lowered, which made me have no confidence.
At that time, there was no definite news, but the mother and daughter were still worried and only hoped that it was not true. But what if Ling Guan really wants to promise her to that lustful dholy?
The exact answer to this matter was obtained from Yue Chan. At the beginning of next month, the Luo family will come to get a bride price. When the auspicious day of the zodiac is selected, Ling Xiao will be sent to the Luo family by the big red sedan chair.
Ling Xiao was at a loss, and his eyes were a little dull. Yue Chan continued to say, "Sister, it's really lucky that you can marry Mr. Luo. I heard that the Luo family is no worse than our family." With that, he looked at the dilapided yard with a smile and said, "At least, it's always much better than here."
"Did you do it on purpose?" Ling Xiao suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Yue Chan.
"What are you talking about?" Yue Chan bent her head like a cover and fiddled with the hair in her ear.
"Na Luo Liang, why did he suddenly propose marriage to his father? Even if the Luo family wants to cling to the powerful, it won't say that they want me, right? Ling Xiao took a step closer, and his eyes became sharper and sharper, "What's more, how did he know my name? Doesn't he know that the show girl is right in front of him, and the official's legitimate daughter is going to enter the palace? Is he sure that I won't be selected, or does he know that I'm not in the big row at all?
Ling Xiao said in one breath, and his voice was not loud, but the momentum in it made Yue Chan feel a little guilty.
"You, what are you talking about!" Yue Chan defended.
"Nonsense? You never treat me as your sister, but you suddenly became so intimate with me that day. Do you think I really have no doubt at all? Ling Xiao has always endured, but this hand and foot actually touched her life event. No matter what, she is also a girl with good expectations for life. What's more, there is... How can she not have an attack?
Yue Chan was already a little guilty, but she was suddenly shocked by Ling Xiao's words and didn't react. Now seeing that Ling Xiao, who is usually silent, dared to talk back to her, he said angrily, "Yes, I did it on purpose. So what?"
"Na Luo Liang has always loved the little jasper, and I guessed that he must be moved when he sees you like this. As for your name, of course, I told Luoshang that it's nothing to exchange my sister's best friend's name, right? As Yue Chan spoke, her anger gradually decreased, but she became proud.
"Of course, he doesn't think you will be on the list of selected girls. The show girl is the direct daughter!" She said the word "daughter" very loudly, the ending was raised, and her tone was cheerful.
Ling Xiao was so angry that his face turned blue. Yes, if the Luo family knew that she was the eldest daughter, I'm afraid they would not dare to cling to her easily.
"Why on earth are you?" Ling Xiao's voice trembled a little.
From childhood to age, I gave you everything. Now, even the only name of "daughter" has been given to you. Why do you treat me like this?
Yue Chan sneered and took out a few damaged bamboo pieces from her sleeve, stretched them out in front of Ling Xiao, elegantly opened her fingers, and let them fall to the ground, like a lifeless dragonfly with broken wings.
Is this? Ling Xiao looked at the ground and was at a loss. Yue Chan didn't say anything, but looked at her coldly.
After a while, a clear color gradually rose in Ling Xiao's eyes, and his eyes moved from the ground to Yue Chan's face, which seemed to have doubts in his eyes.
"That's right. Anyway, I'm not afraid. You know, I like him." Yuechan's face turned a little red. Although she had always been wayward, this was the first time she said these words clearly in front of people, and she still brought the shame of the girl.
No wonder, no wonder! Ling Xiao was annoyed. In retrospect, it seemed that there were really many clues to be found. As long as you pay a little attention, you won't realize it until now.
Looking at the bamboo dragonfly fragments on the ground again, Ling Xiao thought that a few days ago, he did hear Li Ye say that he would give it to her the next day, but later she didn't mention it, and she didn't ask. Somehow it came to Yue Chan's hand.
"Aren't you going to the palace?" Ling Xiao asked helplessly, and then he felt how superfluous his words were. Doesn't this sister know yet? For what she wants, even if it is destroyed, she won't let others get it. Even if she is still ruthless to destroy the person she loves, at least she won't get it, a half-sister who hates her since childhood.
"Yes, I'm going to become a imperial concubine. Here, first of all, I wish my sister and Mr. Luo a good time for a hundred years." Yue Chan pretended to be blessed and left with arrogant laughter.
Ling Xiao returned to the house in a daze and fell softly on the seat.
