Chapter 173

"General, aren't you also a kind of lover? Why are you only allowed to be a romantic person in this world but I am not allowed to be a romantic one. I don't care about this half of the world. I only want to grow old hand in hand with the woman I love."

Seeing the displeasure on the emperor's face, Ling Chu was still chattering. Although he wanted to save Xiaoling and let the emperor pardon her, he didn't want to see this picturesque country buried in a woman. hand.

"Think twice, Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate." Before Ling Chu finished speaking, the Emperor immediately interrupted him, with an impatient look on his face, as if he had given the last order.

"Stop talking, I'm free and proper, my woman, it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks." Once the emperor said this, Ling Chu didn't dare to say anything more, so he agreed.

Coming out of the palace, Ling Chu's heart was full of mixed feelings. He didn't know whether he was wrong or not, but what he said was true. Why is it so difficult to just want to be with the woman he loves? Just because he is the emperor?

Since he couldn't figure it out, Ling Chu didn't think about it any more, he left the palace and went back to his mansion, but Uncle Fu was still waiting at his own mansion, it was unclear how to send him away.

"Girl, it's time to eat." Jinniang came over and brought the food, Xiaoling just glanced at it, but didn't have much appetite, holding the red cloth towel in her hand, with a sad face.

"Girl, what are you doing with this filthy thing? Throw it away, so as not to hurt your heart when you look at it. That dirty thing is really annoying. It's a bastard to let a woman as good as yours not want it."

Jinniang couldn't help cursing, she pursed her lips, and she was filled with righteous indignation, hearing this, Xiaoling became a little anxious, "Presumptuous, master's matter, you, a girl, are not allowed to talk behind your back."

Xiao Ling had never lost such a big temper, but today she got so angry because of Ling Chu, Jinniang was a little timid, and only then did she understand how important Ling Chu was to Xiao Ling.

"Girl calm down, I know I'm wrong." Jinniang knelt down as soon as she said, seeing Jinniang's expression of sincerity and fear, Xiaoling couldn't help feeling distressed, and only then realized what she just said was a bit serious .

"Okay, you can get up." Xiao Ling glanced at the food, but still felt that it was tasteless, she didn't really want to eat it, so she threw it aside and ignored it.

Spreading out the red cloth scarf in the palm of her hand, the word Xiao Ling was embroidered with golden silk thread shining brightly, which made Xiao Ling feel a little more comforted.

Suddenly, she remembered that when Ling Chu cut off his robe, he said that there is no need to keep this piece of cloth, but after he returns home and reads it, he burns it.

Xiaoling suddenly realized that keeping it, no matter what, is a disaster, if someone listens to it, there will be some troubles again.

"Girl, Qingwen who is beside Madam is here." Xiaoling's heart tightened, her hands were sweating, what was the purpose of her coming here at this time.

Xiaoling and Jinniang glanced at each other, and Jinniang already understood what Xiaoling was thinking, so she signaled the maid to invite Qingwen in.

Qingwen came in, looking around with sly eyes, Jinniang greeted her with a smile, and Qingwen smiled a little awkwardly.

"What's Madam's order?" Jinniang asked, and Qingwen replied with a playful smile, "It's nothing, but Madam sent me to see if the girl is feeling better, do you need anything to eat or use?"

Xiaoling walked over slowly, with her back to Qingwen, looking very melancholy, Qingwen looked at her, with a hidden smile on her lips, "Thank you Madam for your kindness, Xiaoling has nothing here, please ask the girl to help Xiaoling Ling thanked Madam."

After Xiaoling finished speaking, Qingwen didn't intend to leave at all, and took two steps forward, "How is the girl's mood recently, is she feeling better?"

Xiaoling turned her head, her face was full of sorrow, her brows were tightly furrowed, and the traces of excessive sadness on her face were very obvious. Qingwen looked a little happier when she saw it, so she had something to say to Chen Shi .

"It's better, thank you ma'am for thinking about it." Xiaoling said, Qingwen was a dog, and she had no fear in front of Xiaoling. She pushed Jinniang away, and took two steps forward.

"Why does the girl still keep this filthy thing? Does the girl still miss the muddy pig and mangy dog?" Qingwen asked, Xiaoling raised her arm and looked at the cloth towel in her hand.

"What's the use of keeping such turbid things." After finishing speaking, Xiaoling held the corner of the cloth towel, put the cloth towel on the lamp oil, and burned it to pieces.

"It just adds to the sentimentality. It reminds me that I was abandoned all the time. Now that it's like this, it's better to burn it and get rid of it once and for all. Let those hurtful things dissipate with the ashes."

As Xiaoling said, she turned around and ordered Jinniang to clean up the ashes, and also removed the delicacies from the table, so she no longer had any appetite to eat.

Seeing Qingwen, she didn't continue to say anything, and stepped aside. Seeing that Qingwen still didn't leave, Xiaoling was very puzzled. She had already burned the cloth towel in front of her. It's also good to see, why don't you go back to report, and still stay here.

"Jin Niang, it's noon, and I'm a little tired, I want to take a nap." Xiao Ling got up together, and glanced at Qing Wen, who lowered her head knowingly.

"Since the girl is tired, let's go to rest, and the servants will not bother the girl anymore." After Qingwen finished speaking, she fixedly looked at Xiaoling, who heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Let's just go, please let the girl thank you for my kindness, Xiao Ling is safe and well, please rest assured, if you are free, I will definitely come to pay my respects to your wife."

Qingwen said yes, then saluted, and walked towards the door, just as Qingwen went out, Xiaoling gave a bite to the ground, her gaze was a little bit more ruthless.

"It's only been a few days, why can't I bear it so much, and sent someone to inquire about my situation with white eyebrows and red eyes, it's really deceiving!"

As Xiaoling said, she was completely awake at this time, after all, she no longer had the sleepy look just now, and the worry on her face also disappeared, and she was completely different from the weak look just now.

"Don't be angry, girl. She has always been like this. It's not that the girl is not clear. For this kind of person, if you get angry and lose your body, it's really not worth it."

Xiaoling let out a breath, feeling very uncomfortable, but she felt sorry for the delicious food on the table just now, it's hard for Jinniang to cook her favorite food.

"Jin Niang, the ashes from the burnt towel just now have been cleaned up, but don't leave any clues, it's not good for people to follow the clues."

Jinniang is also well-behaved, she has been with Xiaoling for a long time, Xiaoling's temperament, Jinniang is very clear, and Jinniang has always been cautious in handling things, Xiaoling can rest assured.

"Miss, don't worry, it's been cleaned up. Jin Niang has already disposed of the burnt golden thread, so don't worry, miss."

Xiaoling nodded, turned around, and walked towards the door, "That's good, it's noon, I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to sleep for a while, it's a pity that the table was delicious just now, I just feel empty , you go and get some fruit to eat with me."

Jinniang answered yes, and helped Xiaoling out the door. At the door, Jinniang raised her jade arm, lifted the door curtain, protected Xiaoling's head, and let her go out.

At noon that day, the courtyard was full of phoenix tails, dragons were singing softly, and the Xianglian was hanging down quietly. Xiaoling walked over slowly, and the depression in her heart was more than half healed.

"It's getting hotter, just bring some more fruits to relieve the heat." Xiao Ling ordered, her tone was relaxed and humorous, much better than the dull one just now.

Qingwen hurried back to Chen's place, and Chen asked Qingwen, "Is the third girl feeling better?" She was lying on the mat with her eyes slightly closed, and the maid next to her was holding a cattail fan, so comfortable.

"Returning to Madam, the third girl is in good health, but her heart is not in good shape. The haggard look on her face must be caused by excessive sadness. Even speaking, she is weak. The food on that table is all the food that the third girl likes to eat. , but the girl didn't eat at all."

This point, Mrs. Chen also thought about it. In this way, what Xiao Ling lost would not be Ling Chu alone. The whole Xiao family loved Xiao Ling a lot, not because of Xiao Ling's engagement with Ling Chu , but now, not only was he abandoned by the circumcision, but Xiao Zhiyuan was also implicated.

In this way, Xiaoling's position in Xiaofu might be shaken, and now she is very weak, and it is nonsense to want to make a comeback.

Chen Shi snorted coldly, now coaxing Xiaoling well, let her talk to General Tuoba, and help Xiao Zhiyuan get through the difficult time, if this is clarified in the future, after this disturbance, Xiao Ling and Ling Chu, there is no need to talk about it later, when the matter of Xiao Zhiyuan is over, it is time to uproot Xiao Ling An Waner Xiao Xiao.

"This girl is really, why are you so lazy, you don't even eat rice. But it's true, it's such a sweltering day, there's no way to eat, so you go and get some fruits to relieve the heat and give it to the third girl go."

Qingwen replied yes, Chen seemed to have suddenly remembered something, "What did you see just now, do the three girls really love the major general as deeply as the sea?"

Qingwen thought for a while, nodded, and told Mrs. Chen about Xiaoling's burning of the half robe in the room just now. Mrs. Chen was very satisfied when she heard it. Xiaoling was about to be ruined right now.

When Ling Chu came back from the palace, Uncle Fu was still in the Ling mansion, looking at the silks and satins left in the house that hadn't been cleaned up, he felt very desolate.

As soon as Ling Chu entered the door, Uncle Fu greeted him, "General, I just came back. This old slave will wait for the general to come back, tell the general and go home."
