Chapter 110: Don’t Dare to Discuss Mother

There was a moment of embarrassment on Wu's face, and then she sneered: "There are still a few princes in the palace who have not yet gotten married."

Ling Ning said calmly: "First of all, I haven't decided whether to agree to King Jing's marriage or not. Secondly, even if my eldest aunt has this intention, she should ask King Jing if he is willing to marry my eldest sister. I can't be his master. "

Wu's tone: "As long as you explain this matter clearly to King Jing, he should agree."

Ling Ning paused slightly, her eyes fell on Wu's face, and the temperature in her eyes dropped to freezing point little by little: "But why should I do this?"

Wu's expression froze.

"Pushing my own marriage away to an eighteen-year-old concubine who has not yet left the court? Don't you think this request is too much?"

Wu's expression darkened: "Ling Ning——"

"Whether it's for me or King Jing, it's too much."

Ling Ning didn't like to be hypocritical and submissive with others, and her words were more in line with the style of a military commander: "I am the legitimate daughter of the Ling family, and the concubine is the concubine of the eldest family. King Jing is a prince with a noble status. How can he be willing to marry a concubine?" female?"

Wu frowned: "Although Shuang'er is a concubine, but she is named in my name, what's the difference between her and a legitimate daughter?"

Ling Ning did not answer her question: "When King Jing sent someone to propose marriage, he clearly said 'Ling Ning, the legitimate daughter of the second wife of the Ling family'. The eldest aunt insisted on pushing her daughter out. She didn't think she was so eager to get married. Is the person’s behavior too low?”

Wu's expression darkened and she looked at Ling Ning with an evil look.

Ling Ning smiled coldly: "If aunt feels that her behavior is appropriate, she can go to discuss it with grandma. Why do you have to come to me to make yourself uncomfortable?"

"Ling Ning, I'm just discussing with you, what's your attitude?" Wu was displeased, "Even if you are the legitimate daughter of the second wife, you shouldn't treat your elders like this. You really have no rules at all!"

"If eldest aunt knew the rules, she wouldn't make such a ridiculous request." Ling Ning said, turning and walking towards her yard, "I have something to do and can't chat with eldest aunt any more, so I'll take my leave first."

Wu stood in the distance, watching her leave, her face livid with anger.

What an incompetent thing!

"Girl." Ayun, the personal maid, followed Ling Ning and spoke in a low voice, "The eldest lady is used to being domineering. If you speak to her like this today, will she hold a grudge?"

Ling Ning returned to her Ningshuang Courtyard, cleaned her face and hands under the service of the maid, changed into loose clothes, reclined on the soft couch in front of the screen, and then said indifferently:

"If I don't cut off her hope once and for all, she will just pester her day after day, and I won't be too lazy to deal with her."

The maid Ah Wan brought hot tea and nodded: "The girl is right, but the eldest lady is not a person who gives up easily. Does the girl have any countermeasures?"

What to do?

Ling Ning held the tea cup with an expressionless face, and was thinking about how to solve this matter completely, when she heard the maid outside report: "Girl, the eldest girl is here."

Ling Ning frowned and looked up.

Ayun muttered: "The big girl came very quickly. Did she fly here after practicing Qinggong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in light blue clothes walked slowly across the threshold. She had a slender figure, a delicate face, and a well-placed smile on her lips.

It was Ling Shuang, the eldest daughter of the Ling family.

"Sister A Ning." Ling Shuang walked like lotus, with a frail figure and a somewhat pitiful charm on his face, "I heard that my mother came to find you just now. I felt very sorry, so I came here to talk to you."

Ling Ning maintained her reclining posture and smiled faintly: "Eldest sister also thinks that auntie's request is too much?"

Ling Shuang's expression froze, and then she frowned weakly: "As a daughter, I don't dare to discuss my mother. She is my elder after all."

"Yeah." Ling Ning nodded, "So in your heart you think her request is too much, but you can't accuse her verbally. I understand what you mean."

Ling Shuang's smile condensed: "..."

Ling Ning raised her hand: "Sit down."

Ling Shuang took a deep breath and quickly returned to smiling: "Thank you, sister An Ning."

The maid brought her a pear wood stool and placed it in front of Ling Ning.

Compared with Ling Ning's casual sitting posture, Ling Shuang, who was sitting upright and deliberately assuming an elegant and weak posture, looked much more reserved.

The maid poured her a cup of tea, and Ling Shuang thanked her politely.

She always looked like this in the Ling family. She looked soft and frail, kind-hearted and polite, which made people particularly fond of her.

However, the women in the deep mansion are best at pretending. Whether they are truly kind-hearted or hypocritical, you cannot tell them in a day or two, but you will naturally be able to tell them over time. ŴŴŴ.

"The reason why my mother came to see Sister A Ning is because I am getting older. My mother is worried that I will not be able to find a good marriage in the future, so..."

Ling Shuang glanced at Ling Ning quietly, hesitated for a moment, and a wry smile escaped from the corners of her lips, "My mother has been worrying about my marriage all day long, and I feel bad about it, and I can't stop my mother from loving her daughter. I hope my sister won't worry too much. ”

Ling Ning said calmly: "I don't care too much."

She knows better than anyone what the eldest aunt means, so there is no need to worry about it.

Ling Shuang lowered his eyes and stared at the tea foam floating on the tea surface. His voice was slightly bitter: "But speaking of it, I am indeed older. I don't blame mother for being anxious."

Ling Ning said calmly: "That's because the eldest sister always failed to achieve high results and low results, so she wasted her beautiful years."

Ling Shuang defended softly: "My mother wanted to arrange a satisfactory marriage for me. However, a good marriage is hard to come by. This delay has unexpectedly delayed me until I was eighteen."

"Marriage cannot be delayed." Ling Ning said, nodding thoughtfully, "Based on my eldest sister's past experience, King Jing and I should resolve the marriage as soon as possible."

Ling Shuang's hand holding the tea cup tightened, and the overflowing tea splashed on the back of his hand, and a few red spots instantly appeared on the back of his white hand.

Ling Shuang covertly covered her red hands with the handkerchief, and said with a stiff smile: "Sister A Ning has promised King Jing?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Ling Ning pretended not to notice her gaffe, and her voice was indifferent and calm, "But the eldest sister is right, a woman's youth is wasted. She can still pick on others when she is fifteen or sixteen, but after ten At seven years old, you can only let others choose you.”

As the legitimate daughter of a family of military commanders, Ling Ning would certainly not have such superficial thoughts.

But the person sitting in front of him was Ling Shuang.

Since she insisted on a good marriage and even tried to snatch it away from others, Ling Ning didn't mind letting her worry.

Ling Shuang's smile became stiffer and stiffer, and she couldn't help but clenched the handkerchief tightly, but she still tried hard to maintain her elegant demeanor:

"Sister A Ning is absolutely right. Now I am a living example. I just feel sorry for my mother to worry about me..."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red involuntarily.

Ling Shuang raised her hands to wipe the corners of her eyes, "Every day when I see my mother worrying about my marriage, I feel that I am really unfilial and unworthy of my mother's sincere love for her daughter."
