Chapter 234 How to Please Girls?
The New Year was coming. Servants in the Ling Mansion who had stayed here for a long ti were busy cleaning the whole mansion. They were grateful that the old lady and the madam didn’t mind their humble status. So, they loved the Ling Mansion as much as they loved their own ho.
Qiu ng was settling the accounts in the house. There were so many industries to be dealt with in the end of the year that she was almost busy day and night.
Suddenly, she heard a creak.
The door was opened. Qiu ng bit her writing brush and asked without raising her head, “What’s the matter, mammy? It’s up to you to supervise the cleaning work.”
There was no reply outside the door. Qiu ng frowned slightly and put down her writing brush to look back. She saw a part of a wheelchair and the legs covered with a blanket outside the door.
Li?
She was a little amazed and hurriedly put down the account and walked over.
Ling Li, who was in the wheelchair, suddenly ca into her view. At this mont, he was dressed neatly unlike a playboy as usual. He was all smiles, but seed to avoid looking at her.
When Qiu ng saw his expression, she was so angry that she was going to pick up his ear. “Have you made trouble outside again?”
Ling Li hurriedly shrank his head to avoid Qiu ng’s hand and denied repeatedly and helplessly, “No! Mom, I’m here to ask you about sothing important. I’ve been studying in the yard these days, and I haven’t made any trouble!”
“Really?”
Qiu ng stopped and didn’t believe him because this little boy had many tricks. Although he said he didn’t make trouble every ti in these years, she still had to pick up the pieces in the end.
“Absolutely true!”
Ling Li covered head with his hands like an ostrich and answered under his clothes. To maintain his image as a playboy, he cheated his mom almost every few days, but every ti his mom would be... fooled.
Seeing his strange movents, Qiu ng covered her mouth and laughed. Mammies who were busy in the yard also couldn’t help laughing. Soone thought inside that if the legs of the young master were good, it would be more perfect.
“Well, I will trust you again.”
Qiu ng went behind Ling Li and pushed his wheelchair into the room. Ling Li looked back at the door continually and asked sheepishly, “Mom, close the door. I’m afraid that soone may overhear.”
Qiu ng beca more curious. She turned around and closed the door. “Well, what do you want to tell ? It’s so mysterious.”
“Actually...nothing...”
Ling Li answered but suddenly stuttered up. Qiu ng waited for a long ti, but there was no more reply.
When did the boy beco so indecisive?
Qiu ng took a breath, sitting down and waiting for him to summon up courage to tell her.
Ling Li had beco very rebellious since the accident. He usually hid from her and fooled around with a group of playboys. Today, he suddenly ca to talk to her alone without his servants. She must listen to him anyway because he must have sothing very important to say.
Seeing Qiu ng staring at him and waiting, Ling Li’s cheeky face was slightly ruddy at the mont and secretly scolded himself for not being decisive enough. “Why couldn’t I speak out when faced his mom?”
“Ling Li, you were a man of two generations, and you had experienced more than anyone!”
“Now, couldn’t you have any courage for the sake of your marriage?!”
“Were you a man?!”
...
He had been thinking on his own for an hour.
Qiu ng looked at Ling Li, who hesitated for a long ti, and thought of a good idea. She pretended to sigh, “Li, I have to settle the accounts if you don’t say it.”
Ling Li suddenly woke up and was in a hurry. He imdiately blurted out the words which he had hidden in his heart, “Mom, please tell how to please girls!”
Qiu ng was stunned and imdiately beca excited when she heard this. She stood up and grasped Ling Li’s shoulders tightly. “Tell , which girl do you like?”
Ling Li blushed and pointed at Qiu ng’s back, trying to change the subject. “Mom, the chair is going to fall down...”
“Forget it. Tell . Who do you like? Mom can give you so advice!”
Nobody knew how excited Qiu ng was at the mont.
At last, one of her sons finally wanted to get married. Ping concentrated on military affairs. As the master of the Ling Family, she had to consider the situation as a whole and can’t urge him. Ling Li could do nothing useful but imrsed himself in the entertainnt alley.
She had already lost the hope of being a grandmother, but suddenly it turned around.
Her prey must be heard.
Qiu ng hurriedly recited the Bodhisattva’s blessing in her heart. She went to the temple to offer incense every year in these years, finally it had worked. She decided to repay her wish.
“Son, if you can drop your bad habits, it’s easy for you to marry no matter who you like, based on our background.”
Qiu ng imdiately seized the opportunity to let Ling Li give up his evil thoughts. Ling Li gave a wry smile continuously. That girl had clearly known him, but even so, she didn’t show any good opinion to him, and sotis she even hid far away to get rid of him.
But he was deeply involved in it.
He tolerated for a year and told himself that he couldn’t be like that. But all his efforts were gone because of Su Li’s gentle embrace at the auction fair.
He couldn’t tell Qiu ng this case.
After hearing the chatter for a long ti, Ling Li couldn’t help saying, “Mom, she’s not the kind of girl you think. What you said is useless. How did you fall in love with my father?”
“You father...”
Qiu ng’s eyes shined with a little warmth. Thinking of the past, she couldn’t help covering her mouth and chuckling, “He didn’t know about romance, and just went to my ho directly and knelt in front of my parents without leaving.”
Ling Li was shocked that his dad was so direct?
Recalling so much, the gleam of her eyes gradually beca dim, with a trace of bitterness in her mouth. “Li, you must cherish your life at any ti, your grandmother, your future wife and I won’t hope that you will leave, do you know?”
The air was full of grief suddenly, which infected Ling Li imdiately.
Ling Li was moved. Although he understood his mom’s difficulties, he never knew that his mother had hidden all in her heart.
“I know, mom.”
“As long as Yinmo Cult existed, the Ling Family wouldn’t be in danger. One day I’d catch the killer to avenge the death of my father, my grandfather and my uncle.”
At that ti, his eyes were full of scowl and coldness.
“OK, fine. Don’t talk about these unhappy things.”
Qiu ng wiped her tears, and soon recovered herself, “You didn’t tell who she is.”
The coldness in his eyes vanished. He felt shy and turned his head. With a low voice, he said sothing. But Qiu ng heard it clearly.
“Mom, you’ve t her.”
“I have t her?”
She felt strange and thought of many girls. She had t hundreds of young ladies. Ling Li just said she had t her, and how she could rember her.
When Ling Li saw his mother’s confusion, he felt embarrassed and began to stamr, “She is... Mom, you saw her a few days ago. We go to...to...”
“To what?”
He spent such a long ti but said nothing useful, which made his mother feel anxious.
Suddenly, she rembered and asked, “Is she Su Li? The girl who went to the Hunting Ground with us?!”
Ling Li kept silent, but Qiu ng smiled, “She is the most beautiful and talented lady in Yunjing! And now, she becos a princess. My son, you really have a good taste.”
“Mom, do not tease .”
Ling Li sighed helplessly. The blush on his face hadn’t faded. He found it was a fault to ask his mom for advice.
Qiu ng had agreed in her heart. It seed that her son was serious about this. He used to offend other girls and tease them. But this ti, just a na could make him blush.
But... She frowned.
Su Li!
She was a perfect daughter-in-law in all madams’ hearts in Yunjing city. Su Li was beautiful and talented. She was an apprentice of Qi Xianqing and learned dical skills. Many people wanted to marry her. If Lord Rui didn’t have high expectations for Su Li, she would get married already.
Ling Li was her son, and surely, she thought he was the best one. Although he was handso, he was titled as the first playboy in Yunjing City!
Thinking of this, she was worried about her son. So, she decided to help him. Even it would take all power of the Ling Family, she would let Miss Su be willing to marry her son.
Qiu ng beca serious, which made Ling Li frightened.
“Son, you just read more books these days and don’t fool around outside. I will handle this thing and ask tailors to design so new clothes for you. You just wait for the good news.”
Ling Li was shocked. He felt that sothing was out of control, “Mom, what do you want to do?”
“Don’t worry. Since you love Su Li, I won’t let her feel wronged.”
“Maybe, I should deal with the affair by myself. Mom...”
“Go back to study.”
“...”
One day, Su Li was doing so new researches on dicine. So valuable herbs were sent from the Lord Rui’s Mansion. It seed that the effect of the Visionary Powder could be improved.
At that ti, she rembered that Ling Li didn’t pay for the Visionary Powder that he used to deal with the Wei Family when she was Mr. Li.
“I forget to ask Fang Yuan to take it.”
Su Li rubbed her glabella. After the Auction Fair, she had more things to deal with and had to cut half of her practicing ti.
The reward was dead bodies of guards from the Wei Family.
The Royal Family of Nanjiang Country was the enemies of Fang Yuan. Because of the plan of Yinmo Cult, they couldn’t eliminate all mbers of the Wei Family. The only way that Fang Yuan could use to worship ancestors was their bodies.
