Shaking his head, Ling Jingxuan picked up the book on the table again. Now was already in early February, and people also started to be busy. Ling Chenglong went to sort out his eighty mu of land every day. And they also started to grow rice seedlings in No.1 factory. They could transplant them in mid-to-late February. Lady Wang also seemed to have forgotten those annoying things, only stayed in the factory with Wang Jinyu supervising those workers. He really didn’t want those things to annoy them again.
Then Yan Yi instantly disappeared like how he came. Ling Jingxuan smiled, touched the chin while thinking if he should learn some lightness skills with him. It seemed quite convenient, right? However, as he thought that the little buns always asked Yan Yi to carry them to fly high, he instantly dropped that thought. He didn’t want to exhaust himself like Yan Yi and Yan Shan!
“Looks like your big brother really has following-up plans.”
Inside Ling Jinghan’s study, Yuan Shaoqi leant on the window and looked at the rapidly disappearing figure, revealing a bad smile at the corner of his lips. His intuition was right, Ling Jingxuan was more horrible than Yan Shengrui. Yan Shengrui was only unreasonable and domineering, and even had the balls to kill a traitor official in the court before the emperor. But Ling Jingxuan was on the opposite side. He wouldn’t kill people easily, but would only make one feel to live is not better than to die and even regretted coming to this world.
“Of course, my big brother is never a pushover. Besides, even if he already makes up his mind for the retaliation, others wouldn’t even notice.”
Ling Jinghan who seldom talked to him rarely opened his mouth, deep in his eyes were undisguised admiration to Ling Jingxuan.
“Hehe…Honestly speaking, his means was more or less the same as those big families in the capital. They may have done all bad things, but would never let anyone have something on them. The different thing is your big brother has never taken the initiative to offend others.”
Walking to his side with a smile, Yuan Shaoqi said heartily. He also really admired him, even kind of expected to see the scenes how he fought those big families in the capital in the future. Given his background as a farmer, as soon as he went back, he’d light up the flames of wars! One should know, so many eyes were watching the position as the crown princess of Prince Sheng!
Ling Jinghan cast a faint glance at him, then took up a piece of paper and the brush, and facsimiled a painting casually. Yuan Shaoqi had been used to his coldness. So the eyes always wore a faint smile, even with a dip of affection under those eyes.
In the old Ling family, after being dissed back by the village head’s wife, plus the villagers’ gossiping, Ling Chengcai and his family had to cease the fire. But when they turned to ask people to carry the coffin for them, they directly ignored them. Finally, Ling Qicai had to stand out to solve this problem. What choice did he have? That was his big brother and big sister-in-law. Being unsatisfied with his nephews was one thing, sending them off for the last journey was another thing.
“Make way! Make way!”
As everyone thought that finally the old couple could be buried, a middle-aged man wearing some luxurious clothes led over a dozen servant-looking people to squeeze in. Everyone was confused, but Ling Chengcai and his wife hurriedly elbowed their daughter who was stoned there and asked her to bring the kids over.
“Steward Wang, what are you doing here? Did mom and dad send you to pick us up?”
After a short daze, Ling Xiaoran immediately put on a big smile and walked over with the two sons, already forgetting if that smile was appropriate on such an occasion. In her eyes, they were here to pick her up. As long as she thought she no longer had to live such a bitter life in here, the smile grew wilder. A lot of people shook their heads for this. Who was filial and who wasn’t, it was already so obvious.
“No, the young master has already gone. I’m here to take the little masters away under the order of the lord and ma’am. This is the paper from the yamen. From now on, you are no longer wife of Jin family and mother of the two little masters.”
The well-dressed man called Steward Wang took out a piece of paper and dangled in front of her. Accompanied by his words, the smile on the face of Ling Xiaoying and his parents instantly froze. Ignoring this woman who had always been so arrogant before them and never took them servants and maids as human, he threw an eye at those servants, and they immediately went forward to snatch the kids from her.
“No, that’s my kids. Give them back…no…”
“Boohoo…Mom…”
“Crying…”
Ling Xiaoran who finally reacted threw herself at them crying, and the two children also cried, Ling Chengcai and his wife already had no time to consider so much, both rushed up madly trying to snatch the kids back for their daughter. They were their daughter’s everything! And without the kids, she would never have a chance to go back to the Jin family! So, they would never let them take the kids away.
“Give me back my kids…”
“The kids’ mother is still here. How can you take them away?”
“Second uncle, do something. You can’t let them take the kids away from Xiaoran.”
The sudden situation shocked someone there, no one even had the time to react, only Ling Chengcai, his wife and daughter were like crazy trying to snatch the kids back. Under Lady Li’s yelling, as Ling Qicai was about to step forward, Steward Wang snapped, “Stop it! Lady Ling, when the young master was suffering, instead of fulfilling a wife’s job to take care of him, you left with the kids without saying a word, and let the young master die alone. People only found it out after a few days and his body already smelled! How dare you still call yourself a wife and a mother? A woman like who even didn’t care about your own husband, how can you teach the two little masters well?”
His words instantly stopped the steps of Ling Qicai and others who meant to help Ling Xiaoran. Always, they had thought she came back because she got repudiated! It turned out…She threw her suffered husband and secretly ran back home, and her man also died because of this. No wonder they came claiming the kids with the paper from the yamen! Such a vicious woman really deserved it! The kids would never grow up well under her!
As the three of them were freezing there, Steward Wang and the servants quickly turned to climb onto their carriage and let.
“No…my kids… my kids…”
Ling Xiao Ran immediately fell to the ground and burst into tears, as pitiful as one could imagine, but no one there felt sorry for her, some even cursed her pointing at her. Husband is like sky of his wife, while she could have done such heartless thing. Who would show sympathy for her?
