Chapter 269 Sounding Out

Bang!

Ling Li fell from the upside-down wheelchair. Maids were scared and covered their eyes by sleeves. Some softhearted onlookers turned their heads to avoid seeing him.

At this moment,

Suddenly, a slim hand supported the waist of Ling Li. She helped him touch the ground and knelt steadily. Perhaps the range of her movement was wide. The red veil on her head slid onto the ground. And the fairly beautiful face came into the sight of everyone.

“What a gorgeous woman!”

“Princess Li is exceedingly beautiful!”

“I really envy the Third Master of Ling Family…”

There were all remarks. So, the bad thing of Ling Li was neglected.

Ling Li gazed at Su Li attentively as if the time paused.

“Wow…”

The sound interrupted Ling Li. More and more people were surprised.

Qiu Meng saw the scene and then felt in relief. She looked at Su Li more gently than before. And a sense of gratitude flashed thought her eyes.

Su Li’s master was the royal preceptor. Her cultivation ranked among the top ones in Yunjing City. They said it was the acquired eighth hurdle. Although she didn’t see Su Li show her cultivation, she knew that Su Li could keep the veil on her head when helping Ling Li.

She was on purpose dropping her veil in order to help Ling Li out!

Ms. Gu smiled to Su Li kindly and thought, “It’s our luck to have such a careful girl to support my grandson.”

Mammy Li picked up the veil to cover the face of Su Li again. And they could continue to pay the ceremonial obeisance.

“Second, kowtow to parents!”

“Third, kowtow to each other!”

“Finish! Go to the bridal chamber!”

The emcee finished his last word. Dongfang Rui and Ms. Gu felt in relief and smiled to each other.

The eyes of Qiu Meng were wet. She smiled with tears leaning Ling Ping. “Great. It’s great… Li finally get married. It’s really good!” she said.

Mammy Li leaded Su Li by hand going out of the hall. The banquet started. The round table with kinds of food was put along the street outside the Ling Mansion. That was really clamorous.

Ling Li sat on the wheelchair again with the help of Ling Mo. They were surrounded by a jeering crowd of young men as soon as they went into the central room.

“Cheers!”

“Congratulations! You got a nice beauty!”

“Come on, drink it!”

Ling Li was so delighted that he drank it over quickly. However, only Ling Mo knew that Ling Li was not as happy as he looked.

“Nice!”

“You are straightforward!”

“One more!”

Ling Li didn’t refuse anyone. He was drunk. Ling Mo tried intercepting them. At this moment, a bright and loud laugh came from outside, “Ha-ha-ha, how clamorous…”

Many officials could identify this voice so they put down their chopsticks and cups and knelt around the door.

“Welcome, Your Majesty!”

“Welcome, Your Majesty!”

“Long live Your Majesty!”

“…”

Dongfang Rui and others around the main tables went out quickly and just met Dongfang Xiao.

Ms. Gu squinted and then held her walking stick to give a salute. She said, “Welcome, Your Majesty!”

Dongfang Rui quickly caught her arms to stop her. He smiled hypocritically and said, “It’s unnecessary, my sister-in-law.”

Mrs. Gu sighed, “It’s not easy that you still call me sister-in-law.”

Dongfang Xiao replied seriously, “My brother was kind to me in the past. I’ll never forget that. Nowadays, many people have gone, and we are also getting older. If I were not kind to you, I would not share my innermost thoughts with anyone!”

Dongfang Xiao’s words were so sincere that moved many people. It turned out that the emperor had relative with the Ling Family. It was valuable that the emperor could stay true to his original heart.

However, Ms. Gu smiled reluctantly. “Your Majesty is always busy with state affairs. It’s my pleasure to see you here. Let’s go inside, please.”

Dongfang Xiao smiled, “Fine. Let’s go.”

Ling Ping followed respectfully, but his eyes were gloomy.

“Dongfang Xiao spoke very well since he has been the emperor for decades. However, he never came to worship my grandfather in these years.” Ling Ping thought.

The yard became into a clamor again after they went into the room. Many people began talking about the wars that the Ling Family participated for the Dahan Country secretly. And some of them even talked about the secrets about the Ling Family in those years.

“I heard that the emperor and Senior General Ling became sworn brothers and conquered the country together. The emperor used to be in a rich and powerful family, so Senior General Ling gave up the emperor position.”

“Then Senior General Ling set up his own family and got an excellent son, General Ling, who made great contributions to the country and got the title ‘King of North’ which was given by Emperor. In addition, Ms. Gu made a legend. So, Ling General’s Mansion has such a great reputation…”

The old men were talking passionately, while the young men were drinking with Ling Li, who was really drunk. If he hadn’t sat in the wheelchair, and Ling Mo hadn’t accompanied with him, he could fell.

One of those young men who toasted very often saw Ling Li was drunk. He gesticulated. After a while, a slim good-looking girl came. Nearly all the young men were stunned when seeing her.

Was she…the miss of General Wu’s Mansion, Wu Xiuxiu?

She was ever teased by Ling Li. She should stay away from Ling General’s Mansion. Why was she here?

Ling Mo felt something wrong, but he couldn’t prevent her.

Wu Xiuxiu showed a sad face and spoke gently as Dongfang Xiao’s order. Wu Xiuxiu was absolutely a beautiful girl although she was not as gorgeous as Su Li.

“Long time no see. Childe Ling, I never thought you would get married!”

Ling Li put down his wine cup and turned around with a fairly red face. He stuttered, “Who… Who are… you?”

Everyone laughed because of what Ling Li said.

They thought that the beauty of Wu Xiuxiu would attract Ling Li who was lecherous, but they didn’t expect that Ling Li didn’t lost face, but Wu Xiuxiu did.

“…You!”

Wu Xiuxiu was so angry that she wanted to leave. But when she thought of the order of Dongfang Xiao, she had to endure it and continued,

“Ling Li, you really don’t know me? I know you’re a playboy, so if I’m willing to be your concubine, I think you will be happy to agree.”

Wu Xiuxiu was embarrassed because of such shameless words. It was for her family that she would come here to say the disgusting words to him!

Others didn’t know her purpose, after that, more people gathered around to see them.

“I didn’t expect that Miss Wu who is lofty can say those words. It’s amazing!”

“I think that Miss Wu sounds out Ling Li because she is jealous. She wants Princess Li to lose face!”

“If Ling Li really be attracted by her beauty, Princess Li will…Tut-tut…”

“I don’t believe Ling Li because he is lecherous. Now, before he goes to the bridal chamber, Princess Li will be humiliated…”

Wu Xiuxiu snorted and calmly waited for Ling Li to make a fool of himself. She specially dressed up in order to seduce Ling Li. At that time, even if he stayed sober, he would be attracted by her.

Ling Mo who was standing beside the wheelchair with a expressionless face didn’t intend to stop her. He had known Wu Xiuxiu’s purpose. No matter whether she was instructed or not, what they wanted to know was whether Ling Li treated the marriage sincerely.

If he was sincere, there would be no flaws. Even if someone wanted to make troubles, they didn’t have chance. If not…

Thinking it, Ling Mo smiled.

Smash!

Ling Li suddenly glared and got angry. He smashed the glass in his hand, and then pointed to Wu Xiuxiu. He scolded, “Bitch, go away!”

Suddenly, the scene was quiet. No one thought that Ling Li would get angry. Wu Xiuxiu was stunned by his scolding.

Before she reacted, Ling Li suddenly took back his hand and hammered himself on the chest. He shouted, “I only love Su Li in this life, so I will only marry her! Since the fate let me marry her, I won’t love other women. If I disobey the oath, I will be punished by the thunder! You don’t deserve to be compared with Su Li! It’s impossible to marry you!”

Wu Xiuxiu was in a daze and embarrassed. She didn’t expect Ling Li to react like this.

“Puff!”

“Ha-ha-ha…”

After being silent for a while, someone could not help but laugh. Wu Xiuxiu’s eyes turned red, and she burst into tears. She ignored the order of Dongfang Xiao and ran out of the Ling Mansion.

Ling Mo smiled and said helplessly, “Master, you can’t drink any more. It’s your wedding night tonight. Excuse me, we have to go now.”

After that, he pushed the wheelchair away. This time, no one stopped him. There were several young people with blessing in their eyes.
