Chapter 111 This Sentence Touched My Heart

Ayun and Awan stood on Ling Ning's left and right, curling their lips slightly.

What did the eldest girl mean by this? Did they really think that they couldn't hear it?

If you want King Jing, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush and hide it?

Anyway, no matter whether she said it implicitly or directly, the girl would never agree to such unrealistic demands from them.

Why waste time here?

"In fact, it's not difficult to find a suitable husband." Ling Ning adjusted to a more comfortable posture, "As long as you lower your requirements, there will be no shortage of people to choose from."

Ling Shuang pursed her lips, with an expression of wanting to say something but not saying it.

"The Ling family has a prominent family background. Although the eldest sister is a concubine, she has been raised by the eldest aunt, and she is not much worse than the legitimate daughter." Ling Ning drank a sip of tea, "As long as the eldest sister really wants to get married, I'm afraid many young masters of the imperial city family will be eager to get her."

Ling Shuang's face changed slightly.

The two words "concubine" were like a needle piercing her heart, making her feel unbearable pain.

Although she was fostered by her stepmother and could barely be on equal footing with Ling Ning, before she was ten years old, she was indeed just a concubine of low birth.

Her mother was strict with her, and the maids and nannies in the mansion didn't think much of her. If her aunt hadn't died early, her mother would never have raised her.

Now that Ling Ning said this, it was as if a bloody wound had been torn open, and Ling Shuang felt a sharp pain and embarrassment in her heart.

After much difficulty, she managed to raise a smile, but it was a bit bitter: "Sister An Ning, do you think I am already eighteen years old and not worthy of a good husband?"

"Eighteen years old is indeed a bit old. Big sister can lower her requirements appropriately. It is enough to have a similar family background. As long as the person has good character and can treat big sister well, he does not have to marry a prince or nobleman."

Ling Shuang put down the teacup and forced a smile: "That's what I mean, but mother always wants to find the best one for me..."

"The best is not necessarily the most suitable." Ling Ning interrupted her, "If big sister insists on asking for the best, then I suggest you choose an opportunity to go to the palace to see the imperial concubine."

Ling Shuang was stunned: "See the imperial concubine? Sister An Ning means... let me marry the fourth prince?"

"No." Ling Ning said calmly, "You can go to the palace to serve the emperor. With big sister's beauty, it should be no problem to be promoted to the position of concubine."

After the voice fell, the expression on Ling Shuang's face froze instantly.

She looked at Ling Ning in disbelief for a long time before she spoke awkwardly: "Sister An Ning, how can you say that? I... I..."

"Does elder sister think it's inappropriate?" Ling Ning raised her eyebrows, "Because the emperor is older?"

Ling Shuang clutched the handkerchief in her hand, her face was pale and blue, she couldn't sit down anymore, she stood up and covered her face and left.

Ling Ning sneered.

With just this little skill, you dare to show off in front of her?

Sitting up, Ling Ning picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea slowly.

"Miss." Ayun was a little worried, "Will the elder lady go to complain?"

"Complain?" Ling Ning sneered, "What complaint? Did I bully her or plot against her?"

No.

A Wan smiled crisply and said, "The elder lady wants to find a suitable husband, and the younger lady just gave her some reasonable suggestions. Anyway, she is not worthy of King Jing, so it's useless to think about it."

This is a good intention.

The elder lady can't make up her sister for no reason.

"Awan is right." A lazy voice suddenly sounded outside the window, with a bit of careless joy, "I really like this sentence."
