That night, my grandmother and Mrs. Yang cooked a lot of dishes in person. Although Shangguan Shaochen didn't come back, Ling Zixuan, Chaoyang, and Ling Ziyu all returned to Ling's mansion, which can be regarded as a family reunion.
Knowing that the Seventh Prince who had hurt Ling Zixuan was dead, everyone felt sad, but it was a big stone in their hearts. Father even threatened that restaurants and western restaurants would hold half-price promotions for three consecutive days.
"Father, although the activities in the restaurant won't affect anything, but don't make too much publicity." After all, Ling Zixuan is in the court, and he has personally experienced the matter of the sixth prince presenting evidence to correct the seventh prince. He knows better than anyone in the family. Some dangers have not been completely eliminated.
"Understood, dad has a sense of propriety." Ling Dazhi said, raising his glass again, he was a little drunk after drinking rarely.
"I'm happy today. Come, Zixuan will have a few more drinks with me." Ling Dazhi originally wanted to drink with his daughter, but after thinking about her identity, his outstretched hand moved to Ling Zixuan.
"Okay, Zixuan respects father." Ling Zixuan did not refuse, squeezed Chaoyang's hand under the bracelet to signal her not to be angry, and then drank the wine in the glass boldly.
"Brother, don't be greedy. My sister-in-law is about to give birth. You have to stay awake at all times. Let Mu'er accompany Dad." Seeing Chaoyang's displeasure, Ling Muer took the initiative to pass by with a glass of wine, and passed by silently. Ling Zixuan replaced him.
Indeed, it has been several days since I had such a pleasant drink with my family, and it should be worth celebrating.
"Ziyu wants to accompany dad!" Ling Ziyu suddenly stood up and even poured himself a glass of wine.
"Why do children learn how adults drink alcohol?" Yang patted the back of his hand, trying to stop his behavior.
"Mother, poet fairy Li Bai relies on drinking to write better poems, why can't Ziyu drink alcohol? Besides, Ziyu has grown up and is an adult!"
Ling Ziyu patted his chest to hint to everyone that he has grown a lot taller and is no longer a child.
Only then did Ling Muer look over. She didn't pay much attention to this younger brother during this period of time. Only then did she realize that since coming to the capital, Ziyu's body has indeed grown a lot. Stay somewhere better.
"Mother, there is a saying that says that wine leaves a lingering fragrance and you feel free, and you can swallow mountains and rivers in a cup. Ziyu has ambitions to become a person like Li Bai, a poet at a young age, so who stipulates that children can't drink alcohol? It's okay to drink less." Ling Muer said, and pushed the half pot of wine in front of Ling Ziyu.
Seeing that Mu'er was pleading for Ling Ziyu, Yang couldn't say anything more, "If it wasn't for your sister's pleading for you, I wouldn't be used to you today."
"Mother's biased eyes!" Ling Ziyu was dissatisfied, but when his eyes shifted to Ling Mu'er, he was happy like a child who got honey, "I still love me the most, sister, Ziyu respects you."
Seeing him imitating the little adults and drinking a glass of wine, he grinned because of the strong alcohol, which instantly attracted everyone at the dinner table to laugh.
How long has she not been integrated into such a happy family atmosphere?
Sure enough, no matter where you are, it’s best to be at home.
"This wine is strong. If you don't know how to drink it, drink less. You have to go to school tomorrow morning." Ling Muer pampered Ling Ziyu's head and looked at the blush on his cheeks. The guy can't drink too much.
"Sister, you never drank alcohol when you were in Lingjia Village. Why do you hold so much alcohol?" Xu Shi was a little drunk, and Ling Ziyu asked the question that everyone was curious about these days but dared not ask.
The dining table became extremely quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes also looked over in an instant.
Either probing or curious, especially Yang's eyes, as if trying to see through her.
——Because she is not the real Ling Muer.
"Because my sister is very skilled in medicine and can use medicine to recuperate my body. Even if I drink a river of wine, I won't get drunk!" Ling Mu'er said with a smile, her eyes curved like the moon in the sky.
Everyone around heard it, and suddenly realized, yes, why did they forget that their Muer is a fairy girl who has been instructed by the gods, and the medicine she developed can even cure severe poisons, so naturally Spirits are gone.
"My sister is so powerful, but why is my sister so powerful?" Ling Ziyu propped his head with one hand, his little face became more and more red, as if the sun was shining on his face, "Does my sister still dream now? In the dream, there will be Did the gods appear to teach you medicine and cooking?"
In a word, the audience was once again incomparably silent.
Everyone's eyes were cast over again.
Ling Mu'er just picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, and the trembling chopsticks almost fell because of these words.
When did Ling Ziyu become so eloquent and observant?
"Do it, my sister dreams every day, and the fairy master in the dream will teach me new knowledge every day, does Ziyu want to learn?" Ling Muer looked up and saw everyone's curious eyes together, she smiled slightly, Perfectly cover up this matter.
Ziyu waved his hand, "Ziyu doesn't like medical skills, Ziyu wants to become a pillar of the country, to write a pen to change fallacies, and to be a literary general!"
As if promising such a lofty ideal, Ling Ziyu stood up and patted his chest, then stretched out his arms and pointed to the sky, but after the words fell, there was only a bang, and he was already drunk under the table.
"This kid, I'll send him to the house first!" Yang Shi shook her head helplessly. With Ziyu's drunkenness, everyone seemed to have forgotten the question he just asked. No one dared to ask about Ling Muer's dream, even I wonder if what she just said is true or not.
"Mother, let me do it." Ling Zixuan took over his younger brother's thin body, but before leaving, he called Ling Mu'er again, "Mu'er, on the way back, Ziyu said that he seemed to have caught a cold, how about you Look at him, I'm worried that he'll forget about it again when he wakes up, and it will be worse when he goes to school tomorrow."
Knowing that her brother had something to say to her, Ling Muer nodded and hurriedly followed.
After sending Ling Ziyu back to the room and pouring another cup of hot tea on his bedside, the two exited the door and stood in the yard.
It was very cold in the late autumn night, Ling Zixuan took off his cloak and put it on Ling Muer's shoulders very gentlemanly, "Ziyu is young and speaks freely, if you say something that makes you unhappy, don't argue with him. Are you okay, Mu'er?"
Hearing elder brother's words, Ling Muer raised her head suspiciously, "Could it be that in elder brother's eyes, Muer is such a person who doesn't know right from wrong?"
"of course not!"
Afraid that my sister would, Ling Zixuan hastily explained, "I just feel that too many things have happened recently, and I'm afraid that you are too sensitive. Forget it, let's not talk about these trivial things. Yesterday in the court hall, the sixth prince suddenly produced evidence to identify the seventh prince. Afterwards, both you and Shao Chen must be curious, and so am I, what's going on?"
I knew that my brother was smart, he was sharper than myself, and his powers of observation were more thorough.
"Yes, Shao Chen and I are really curious about why the sixth prince has evidence against the seventh prince. Yizhi has already gone to investigate, and I believe there will be a result soon."
"But the Seventh Prince died suddenly in prison early this morning. Many people said that Shao Chen did it. You..." Ling Zixuan sighed deeply before finishing his sentence.
I don't know what's going on recently, is it a crime of Tai Sui?
Why do people always want to frame her man?
"Things that have not been done are not done. Those who are cleared will be cleared. The emperor has ordered the sixth prince and Shao Chen to investigate the case together, and only gave him three days. It doesn't matter. After three days, he will be able to return Shao Chen's innocence. As long as However, brother also thinks there is something wrong with the sixth prince?"
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Ling Zixuan suddenly stretched out his hand to cover Ling Muer's red lips, and hissed, "Shh, the situation in Beijing and China is different now, and some things must not be said casually. Muer, although Shao Chen will protect your safety, we don't have to worry about it, but you also saw it yesterday, and the reason for the Seventh Prince's death today is too strange, you must not pay attention to safety when you are alone."
So is that why brother brought her out?
Her brother was worried about her safety all the time, and she was only full of emotion in her heart.
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself, but what I worry about most is not me, but you."
Ling Muer also sighed, "Although the Seventh Prince dealt with us many times back then, at least he was in the open, but now the Sixth Prince is in the dark, we don't know what he wants to do, if I say too much , father and mother are bound to be more worried. So, some things are left to brother."
Ling Zixuan nodded, "Don't worry, Mu'er, in the next few days I will personally visit the restaurant and western restaurant. I am not only the minister of Honglu Temple, but also the adopted son of the Marquis of Ningguo, and the county matriarch of Princess Chaoyang. I sit in the town with multiple identities. I believe that some people with a heart dare not do it casually."
It turned out that brother had already planned everything, Ling Muer put her heart back into her stomach.
"My sister-in-law is going to give birth soon, so you can't stay outside all the time, it's better to be with her from time to time. Also, if you really are going to give birth someday, you must send someone to notify me as soon as possible." Ling Muer said , apart from the sixth prince, nothing worries the family more than Chaoyang right now.
"Okay." Ling Zixuan fondled her hair, and was about to take her back when Shang Zhi hurried over.
"Girl, there is a famous servant outside the door looking for you, saying that there is the whereabouts of the seventh prince's side concubine."
"Where are people? Take me there!"
Hearing the news, Ling Muer hurriedly ran outside the gate of the mansion.
Shangguan Shaochen's bodyguard was standing at the door, Ling Muer saw that there was nothing behind him, where was Sister Sheng'er?
"Why, didn't you find it?"
The guard lowered his head guiltily, "I also asked the second concubine to make amends, but I didn't find Miss Sheng'er."
Hearing this, Ling Muer's heart sank to the bottom of the valley again.
"Where can Sister Sheng'er go with her pregnant body?" She asked self-consciously, and looked at the guard again, "Are you sure you have searched everything inside and outside the capital? By the way, you have visited her private house. private house?"
That was the house given to Sheng'er by Qin Xuanting, Qin Xuanting is dead, maybe she will return to her former place.
"Go back to the second princess, I've looked for it, not to mention that I didn't even see a shadow, but we found this on the table in the bedroom of the private house." The guard handed over a letter.
