As they passed each other, Ling Jingxian glared at Ling Jingshu angrily.

Ling Jingshu was so preoccupied that she had no time to deal with Ling Jingxian's inexplicable provocation. She quickly entered the Lama Temple and paid her respects to Mrs. Ling.

Old Mrs. Ling had just become sulky, and her tone was a bit stiff: "Sister Shu, what's the important thing for you to come here?"

Ling Jingshu sensitively caught the word "again", and then thought of the disgraced looks of Mrs. Yue and Ling Jingxian, and guessed a little bit about the situation just now: "Did the second aunt and cousin Xian say something just now that made grandma unhappy?" "

Mrs. Ling snorted softly, her tone full of displeasure: "It's not a big deal, they want to go to work with your second uncle. As long as they two open their mouths to plead, I won't make things difficult for this small matter. But it's just a small matter. You're beating around the bush and playing tricks in front of me, you really treat me like an old fool!"

As the oldest, highest-ranking person in the Ling family, Old Mrs. Ling's temper is naturally not that bad. Although he is usually kind and kind, once he gets really angry, all his sons and daughters-in-law will have to listen to him with trepidation.

Ling Jingshu came to see Mrs. Ling today because she had something very important to ask for. Only when Mrs. Ling nodded could what she had in mind become a reality. Naturally wanting to make Mrs. Di Ling happy, she immediately responded: "Second aunt is acting so unorganized. Grandma has always been kind-hearted. As long as she sincerely asks for help, there is absolutely no reason not to agree."

This sounds much more pleasant to the ears.

Old Mrs. Ling felt much calmer and her tone became much gentler: "That's all, let's not talk about these troublesome things. Sister Shu, you came to me to say something?"

Ling Jingshu did not beat around the bush and answered honestly: "Yes, my granddaughter has something very important to say to her grandmother, and these words can only be heard by her grandmother. Can she please ask Mo Kui and the others to step aside first?"

You should be straightforward when talking to your family members!

Mrs. Ling nodded happily and ordered Mo Kui and others to retreat.

...

Only Mrs. Ling and Ling Jingshu were left in the huge Yonghe Hall.

Mrs. Ling smiled and said, "If there's anything important, you can always tell me now!"

"I came today because of Ah Xiao's matter..." Ling Jingshu repeated what she had said to Master Ling Wu before.

Old Mrs. Ling smiled at first, but gradually her expression became serious. When she heard about the Imperial Physician Wei in the capital who was good at treating difficult and complicated diseases, she couldn't help but be moved: "Sister Shu, are you telling the truth? That Imperial Physician Wei Is it possible to cure Ah Xiao’s eyes?”

"Whether it can be cured or not, I can't make a conclusion yet. However, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I want to take Ah Xiao to give it a try." Ling Jingshu's eyes flashed with determination: "I have asked my father to agree. In a few days, I will go to the capital with my uncle and his family. I hope my grandmother will give me permission."

Old Mrs. Ling thought for a while and said slowly: "If A Xiao's eyes can be cured and he can see the light again, it will naturally be a great joy. However, I really can't worry if you are the only one accompanying A Xiao to the capital. You are a weak woman who has never traveled far. It is always inconvenient to travel long distances to show up. It is better to let your father lead Ah Xiao, and you can stay with your grandmother at ease. "

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Jingshu knelt down with a plop: "I am really touched that my grandmother thinks about me so much. But, I have a reason to go."

The reason why you have to go?

Old Mrs. Ling was startled at first, then quickly said: "If you have any embarrassing issues, just tell grandma, no need to kneel down."

At this time, Mrs. Ling was still the kind and amiable grandmother in front of the younger generation. She also felt a bit pity for Ling Jingshu.

Only when it comes to threatening the survival of the family, will his hard-hearted and cold-hearted face be revealed.

Ling Jingshu sneered in her heart, but there was a sad look on her face: "Grandma, I have a strange disease. I want to accompany A Xiao to the capital, not only to treat his eyes, but also to secretly cure my disease."

Old Mrs. Ling was startled and forgot to ask Ling Jingshu to get up: "What did you say? What strange disease did you get?"

Ling Jingshu didn't need to pretend, but she also showed a bitter look on her face: "Except for Ah Xiao, I can't get close to any man. If I touch my fingers, I will have a strange reaction. My whole body will convulse, and I will feel nauseated and vomited."

Mrs. Ling: "..."

What kind of strange disease is this? What do you mean you can't get close to any man?

Mrs. Ling looked stunned and asked in disbelief: "Is everything you said true? When did this happen?"

Ling Jingshu bit her lip, her eyes filled with a little glimmer of water, and her voice was slightly choked: "My granddaughter dare not hide it from my grandmother. It's a strange disease that was discovered a few days ago."

"You girl, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Old Mrs. Ling frowned: "Hurry up and tell me in detail. Don't hide anything."

Ling Jingshu looked like she didn't know how to open her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

Mrs. Ling thought for a moment and guessed the reason why Ling Jingshu was reluctant to speak: "You are ashamed to open your mouth, is it because a man touched your hand?"

It is already inappropriate for a girl who has not left the court to be alone with a man in private, and such an intimate gesture as shaking hands is even more outrageous.

Ling Jingshu's eyes were red and she nodded.

Mrs. Ling was so shrewd that she guessed who the other party was almost immediately: "It must be Lu Hong!"

Ling Jingshu lowered her head as if in shame and mumbled, "It's not just him, there's also a potential cousin."

Mrs. Ling: "..."

Old Mrs. Ling seemed to be choking on something, and it took her a while to squeeze out a few words: "There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it with confidence. Don't worry, this matter will never reach anyone's ears." middle."

...

This is what I've been waiting for!

Ling Jingshu wiped her tears with her sleeves and confided the truth in a low voice: "On the day of my grandmother's birthday, Ah Xiao asked me to go back to Qiushui Pavilion. After I went back, I found that Cousin Lu was also there. Under the melons and plums, you should avoid suspicion. I think Lu Biao Something was wrong with my brother, so I wanted him to leave. But not only did he refuse to leave, he also said some...nonsense words to me. I was frightened and scared at the time, so I sternly told him to leave. I was so excited that I rushed over to him. He came and held my hand. I felt nauseated and vomited on the spot.”

"Cousin Lu was probably frightened by my reaction and left quickly. After that, he didn't reveal the matter to anyone. I was too shy to publicize it. I thought it was just an occasional incident and didn't let it go. In the heart."

"Unexpectedly, cousin Qian came to Qiushui Pavilion again yesterday..."

What follows seems really hard to say.

Ling Jingshu bit her lip, her pretty face turning red.

But Mrs. Ling's heart sank, and she quickly guessed what happened: "Did A Qian say that he fell in love with you, and also said that he wanted your aunt to propose marriage to the Ling family?"

Ling Jingshu was silent.

Old Mrs. Ling knew what the outcome would be, but she still couldn't help but ask, "What happened next?"

"I am two years older than my latent cousin. I have always regarded him as a child and only have the affection for him as a cousin, so I rejected him." Ling Jingshu sighed softly: "I didn't expect that he would react very violently and approach me. , kept saying that he must marry me. My whole body was shaking, my stomach was churning, and I vomited it again. "

"One time was an accident, but two times were definitely not accidental. I was panicked and scared, but I didn't dare to tell anyone about it. I just met my father, and I didn't even have the courage to say it. He is the person who loves me the most in this house. It was my grandmother, so I mustered up the courage to find my grandmother..."

Ling Jingshu's eyes turned red again as she spoke. She raised her head and looked at Old Mrs. Ling, her eyes full of trust and prayer: "Grandma, you will keep it a secret for me, right? You will help me, right?"

Even a stone-hearted person will be melted by such eyes.

What's more, Ling Jingshu grew up next to Mrs. Ling and was the most popular with Mrs. Ling. Seeing Ling Jingshu so helpless, pity suddenly arose in her heart.

"Good child, I can't blame you for this, and you don't have to feel guilty and blame yourself." Old Mrs. Ling sighed and gently stroked Ling Jingshu's head: "Stop kneeling now, stand up and speak, your grandmother will make the decision for you in everything. "
