After being read by the tyrant, the character of the little cannon fodder completely collapsed

Chapter 97 Green Tea Sister-in-law

Ling Changfan held her hand and said warmly: "How can I feel at ease with you like this? Let's talk about what happened!"

Fan Meilian could no longer hold back her tears and said delicately: "I just yelled at my fourth sister in the ancestral hall. If she becomes queen in the future, will Guodong and I still have a way to survive?"

"Did you quarrel with the fourth sister?" Ling Changfan was startled.

Fan Meilian was even more surprised than him: "...Didn't Fourth Sister tell you?"

With Ling Xi's domineering and arrogant behavior, where everyone in the world would know about something, she didn't even tell Ling Changfan about their quarrel?
Ling Changfan's face visibly darkened: "Tell me, what happened? Why did you quarrel with the fourth sister?"

"I didn't want to argue, but she hit Guodong and even scolded him. I couldn't hold it back, so I yelled back at her. However, I didn't scold her, I just spoke louder..." Fan Meilian observed The expression on Ling Changfan's face was pitiful and he hesitated to speak.

"You are the eldest sister-in-law, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. If the fourth sister does something wrong, you can naturally reprimand her. What's wrong with her?"

"But, I'm afraid..." Fan Meilian glanced outside, still keeping a low profile: "Now, she wants to be the queen. If she becomes the queen, she will definitely take revenge on me. Husband, what should I do? ah?"

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, she won't do anything to you..."

Ling Changfan stood up to leave, but Fan Meilian quickly hooked his fingers and knelt on the ground, raising her head worriedly.

"Husband, actually, I am more worried about you, husband!"

"...Me? What are you worried about?"

"My husband is a gentleman. You probably don't even know how many things you have done that don't care about the feelings of the fourth sister. If you don't talk about anything else, let's talk about this incident. You made her kneel in the ancestral hall as soon as you came back. This is very harmful to her. Come on, how shameless."

Ling Changfan narrowed his eyes: "Madam, what exactly are you going to say?"

"Fourth sister must have a grudge against you in her heart. What if she takes revenge on you if you let her become the queen? By then, she will be the queen. Who can restrain her?"

"so what?"

"So, husband, I think it's better not to let the fourth sister become the queen," Fan Meilian carefully tried: "As long as she can't be the queen, she will still be the fourth sister of our family, and she won't be able to take revenge on you."

"..."

Ling Changfan didn't speak, just looked down at her.

After a while, he took her arm, lifted her up, and gently smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes.

"Lian'er, there are some things you don't know. This wedding is a wedding ordered by His Majesty. My sister was chosen to be the Queen because of His Majesty's wishes. Who dares to disobey His Majesty's wishes?"

Fan Meilian said anxiously: "Husband, our Ling family does not only have the fourth sister and one daughter, but also the fifth sister. The fifth sister has a gentle personality, is kind to others, and has been kind since she was a child. She might as well be the queen!"

"Fifth sister?" Ling Changfan's eyes revealed a hint of subtlety: "Lian'er, the fifth sister has run away from home for a long time. Besides, how can the fifth sister replace the fourth sister for no reason? After all, the fourth sister has not made any mistakes. !”

"Who can tell us clearly about making mistakes? We will make mistakes when we don't protect everything. Moreover, as long as we use a little trick, we can..."

Before Fan Meilian finished speaking, she noticed something was wrong in Ling Changfan's eyes.

She understood and immediately changed the subject.

"Don't get me wrong, husband. I'm just saying that it will be better for our Ling family as long as the fourth sister doesn't become the queen and supports the fifth sister to do so."

"Well, just, let's leave it like that for now."

Ling Changfan didn't say anything more and stood up to straighten his sleeves.

"I still have some things to deal with, you should rest first..."

He took two steps and then turned back.

He lowered his head and did not look into Fan Meilian's eyes.

"Lian'er, you can handle the matter you mentioned. You don't need to tell me, just watch and deal with it."

Fan Meilian didn't expect Ling Changfan to agree so happily, and nodded excitedly: "Don't worry, husband, I will handle this matter myself, and I promise not to let anyone know that it was us."

Ling Changfan still lowered his head, nodded silently, said nothing, and quickly turned around and left.

Fan Meilian was overjoyed and wrote a letter happily, calling her confidant maid: "Go to my cousin and ask him to come see me as soon as possible after reading the letter!"——

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Ling Xi felt that the Queen Mother's palace was not as relaxing and comfortable as it used to be.

The faces of all the palace maids and eunuchs were covered with a layer of gloom, and they seemed to be deeply worried.

The little palace maid led her to an inner hall, curtsied and saluted: "Miss Ling, the Queen Mother has ordered you to wait here. She will come over after taking the medicine."

Ling Xi agreed and looked around thoughtfully.

This is the apse of the Queen Mother's bedroom. It is only separated from the residences of the palace ladies by two walls. It is a "cold palace" in the Queen Mother's bedroom.

She had been in and out of the Queen Mother's palace countless times over the years, but she had never been here once.

Now, the Queen Mother has summoned her here, so there must be something wrong with her.

The more ghosts there were, the more cautious Ling Xi stood still.

A stick of incense.

Two sticks of incense.

Three sticks of incense...

Time passed by, and Ling Xi was tired of standing, so she simply sat on the ground and waited quietly for the drama behind the Queen Mother.

Suddenly.

"pat"

The sound of something falling suddenly came, followed by a rustling voice.

She followed the sound and found that the curtain not far away was moving.

Under the curtain, a small, worn-out yellow leather ball rolled out and slowly rolled to the corner.

"Who?"

"..."

"Who is there?"

"..."

"I won't be polite if you don't speak!"

"..."

Ling Xi asked several times in succession but still got no response. She didn't wait any longer, grabbed the candlestick on the table, rushed forward, and cautiously walked towards the curtain step by step.

As she moved around, the curtains shook even more, and it was obvious that someone was hiding inside.

She looked at the ball, then at the curtains, thought of something, quietly put down the candlestick, and opened the curtains little by little.

When the person inside the curtain saw someone pulling at it, he immediately grabbed the curtain, but the other person obviously didn't have enough strength. After pulling three or two times, the curtain was torn open.

Behind the curtain, stood a little boy of five or six years old, his pale face full of fear and uneasiness.

"You are……"

As soon as Ling Xi opened her mouth, the little boy suddenly pushed her away and ran towards the little ball. He picked it up and ran towards the door.

Who knew that as soon as he ran to the door, he bumped into someone.

He fell down and squatted down, and the little rubber ball rolled out, rolling to Ling Xi's feet.

"Hey, little master, why didn't you watch better and actually bumped into the Queen Mother?" The old eunuch grabbed the little boy and pushed him down at the Queen Mother's feet: "Why don't you hurry up and apologize to the Queen Mother?"
