Love is going to the little one, what did you say?

  This room has a great view, sitting by the window, you can see the scene in front of Dingxiang Building and on the street.

  The King of Yan's gaze fell somewhere unknown, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

  Only the guard standing beside King Yan had noticed what King Yan was looking at.

  A coachman was driving a horse carriage to change direction, and a group of women wearing veils were getting on the carriage. The gaze of Prince Yan fell clearly on the girl in sky blue dress.

  Even if you can't see her face and only look at her slender and charming back, you can still guess that she is a rare beauty.

  It seems this is the Miss Ling Jiu that Xi Gong Gong mentioned.

  That Miss Lingjiu was quite perceptive, seeming to sense that someone was staring at her figure, and quickly turned her head to look over. Through a layer of light gauze, she met the gaze of Prince Yan from afar.

  The King of Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled.

  Miss Lingjiu showed no reaction and quickly got on the carriage.

  Then, the Ling family's horse carriage didn't stop for a moment and soon set off on their journey.

  Miss Ling Jiu, who is stubborn and strong-willed, yet clever and sharp...

  The King of Yan's narrow and long eyes slightly narrowed, a faint smile crossed his lips.

  The eunuch noticed that the King of Yan was distracted and absent-minded, but instead of being flustered, he secretly became delighted. It seemed that the King of Yan only intended to lightly punish him and had not made up his mind to take his life.

  "I am loyal and devoted to you, Your Highness. Please spare my humble life, so that I may continue to serve you well in the future and repay your kindness."

  The old man's words were so moving and full of emotion as he poured out his heart in loyalty.

  The King of Yan tugged at the corner of his mouth: "It's a pity you became an imperial attendant, with your talents, if you had gone to the Pear Garden to become an actor, you would have already become a famous and renowned performer."

  With a tone of jest.

  In other words, what happened just now is all in the past.

  The eunuch was overjoyed in his heart, and squeezed out a flattering smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise. However, I will have to serve Your Highness for the rest of my life, so I won't be able to leave this imperial garden."

  The King of Yan frowned in disgust: "Go wash the blood and tears off your face, then come back. Looking at you is really nauseating."

  The old man hastily assented and backed out.

  After Zai Xi Gonggong left, the King of Yan ordered his attendant: "Li Jun, order someone to investigate Ling Zhifan, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Works. Investigate all the people in his mansion."

  Especially Miss Ling Jiu.

  He didn't need to say it out loud, Li Jun naturally understood. He immediately acknowledged: "Your subordinate obeys."

  ......

  Ling Jingxu sat in the carriage with a calm expression, but her heart was secretly recalling the brief glance she had exchanged before getting on the carriage.

  A fleeting glance, and then against the light, what is seen is not very clear.

  However, she clearly knew that the person sitting by the window watching her was Yan Wang.

  She was confined in the Lu family in her previous life, and had a vague impression of things outside. She only knew that the person who finally sat on the throne was King Yan. As for King Yan's temperament, she didn't know anything about it.

  This brief encounter, only a short moment, said a few words. Based on these, I can only get the most superficial impression. This King Yan's behavior is quite arbitrary and unruly. Completely different from the Crown Prince who always has a cold face and can't tell his emotions apart.

  The true face and temperament of the King of Swallows are unknown.

  All along in silence, when I returned to the Ling family home, it was already late at night.

  Everyone went to see Sun first.

  Sun saw that everyone's enthusiasm was not high, and they looked somewhat surprised. He smiled and asked: "What's wrong with you guys? You've been out playing for half a day, why aren't you happy and excited, but instead one by one looking down at your faces when you came back? Did something happen?"

  "Nothing's wrong." everyone replied in unison.

  The answers were too uniform and consistent.

  It's as if it was premeditated...

  "Sun's heart was filled with doubts, and she didn't look at Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingxiao, but asked Jiang: "Yuniang, is it really nothing today?"

  Pressed by her mother-in-law, Jiang Shi remained calm and replied with a smile: "We first went to Hui Chun Tang. The nameplate has been given to the manager, and also recorded the name of Xiao Tang's younger brother. On the 15th day, if we go early in the morning, we can see Wei Taiyi. Later, we also went to Ding Xiang Lou for lunch."

  "Dingxiang Building is famous and business is booming, but today only one elegant room is left. After we entered the elegant room, the original guest who booked the room arrived again. As a result, there were a few words of dispute and a burst of anger. Fortunately, another empty elegant room was vacated later, so we had dinner and returned."

  "It's just a small matter, but I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps, so I'm not really in the mood. It's actually worrying my mother-in-law."

  Not a single deceitful word was spoken, yet all the key points were cleverly avoided. If things are exposed in the future, Jiang will not be accused of deceiving his elders.

  Words and deeds are indeed thorough and meticulous.

  Ling Jingxu couldn't help but secretly admire Jiang Shi.

  Mrs. Sun's doubts were completely dispelled, and she smiled reassuringly: "Alright, it was just a small matter, don't worry about it. You've all been rushing around for half a day and must be tired, go back to your rooms and rest first. I'll have someone call you at dinner time."

  ......

  Since leaving Dingxiang Building, Ling Jingyan has been sulking and hasn't spoken a word, nor has she looked at Ling Jingxiao again.

  Living together in Luoxia Courtyard, they inevitably travel together.

  Ling Jing was looking down, and all the way, she didn't say a word to Ling Jing Yu.

  Ling Jingxian didn't go forward to ask for trouble, and instead pulled Ling Xiao's hand and walked slowly forward. In her heart, she thought that after Ling Jingyan calmed down, she would talk to her again and coax her...

  Just then, Ling Jingyan, who had already entered the Luoxia Yard, suddenly turned around with a solemn face: "Jiutang sister, follow me. I have something to say to you."

  The originally affectionate Ah Jiu has become Ah Jiu's younger sister.

  Her tone was tense, and she had lost her usual liveliness and playfulness.

  Ling Jingxian secretly sighed in her heart, but a smile still lingered on her face: "Alright, I'll send Ah Xiao back to his room first and then come find you."

  After sending Ling Xiao back to the dormitory, Ling Xiao suddenly pulled on Ling Jingxuan's sleeve and wouldn't let her go: "Ah-jing, judging from Yan Tangjie's tone, she seems to be in a bad mood. Don't go, lest you get into an argument with her."

  "We are now living in Uncle's house again, you and Yantang sister had a conflict, no matter who is right or wrong, Auntie and Uncle will definitely be on Yantang's side. In the end, it's always you who suffers."

  Looking at Ling Xiao's serious and worried face, Ling Jingxuan felt a warmth in her heart: "Ah Xiao, your worries are not unreasonable. However, since you know Yan Tangjie's temperament, you should also know that I need to go and explain the misunderstanding clearly. Otherwise, if both of us leave this knot in our hearts, it will only get worse later on. Besides, we still don't know how long we'll be staying in the capital, can't always avoid her!"

  Ling Xiao fell silent for a moment before reluctantly letting go: "I always can't outtalk you."

  Ling Jingxian smiled and patted Ling Xiao's shoulder, her tone relaxed: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
