The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 105

The next night, Zuo Xiangning prepared a lot of fruits and snacks, as well as two mixed vegetables she made herself.

In the evening, Ling Xiao came and couldn't help but smile when he saw the things on the table.

This place has now become the warmest home in his heart.

He took off his cloak, and Zuo Xiangning reached out to take it and put it on the clothes rack next to him.

"Have you eaten at night? I mixed two side dishes, and I deliberately added less salt, but they are a bit spicy. I don't know if you can eat them."

"I can eat whatever you make." Ling Xiao smiled and put the two packages on the table, "The lamb legs and lamb chops are still hot."

Zuo Xiangning served Ling Xiao a bowl of porridge and put the chopsticks in front of him, "Try it."

"You want to try it too." Ling Xiao took out a small dagger from his arms and sliced ​​off some pieces of mutton leg meat for her.

Zuo Xiangning finished eating and nodded with a smile on her face, "It's delicious."

"Whenever you want to eat, just tell me." Ling Xiao poured her a cup of tea, "Eat slowly."

"My third brother always roasts when he is at home." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "My third brother will be back in a few days, and then we will roast the whole lamb in the garden."

"I'll give you one." Ling Xiao took the handkerchief and helped her wipe away the oil stains from the corners of her mouth. "What else do you want to eat? I'll prepare it for you."

Zuo Xiangning tilted her head and said with a smile: "What are you going to give me away for?"

"Shanren has his own clever plan." Ling Xiao took a bite of Zuo Xiangning's dish and raised his eyebrows: "Is this really what you made?"

"Of course." Zuo Xiangning opened her eyes wide and asked, "How does it taste?"

"The world's most delicious food." Ling Xiao took several bites and said regretfully, "I wish I had wine."

"The smell of alcohol is too strong to dissipate in the room." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile, "I'll wait until I have the chance next time."

"When the weather gets warm, we'll bake it in your courtyard. Whatever you want to eat, I'll bake it for you."

"Okay." Zuo Xiangning nodded with a smile, "Grilled fish."

Ling Xiao cut another mutton chop for her, "It's cold now, so drink more soup every day."

"I've been drinking it every day." Zuo Xiangning stood up and got a prescription for him. "This is a prescription written by Dr. Liu that is suitable for tonic in winter. Take it back and have others make some according to it."

"Okay." Ling Xiao glanced at it, folded it and put it in his arms. He pointed at a box with carved red lacquer peonies in bloom that he took when he came in, and said to Zuo Xiangning: "That's for you, keep it." ”

"What?" Zuo Xiangning opened it with a smile, "Didn't you give me a New Year's gift?"

As she spoke, she opened the box. Inside was a finely crafted and lifelike emerald crested phoenix.

"It's so beautiful." Zuo Xiangning held it in her hand and couldn't put it down.

Ling Xiao walked up to her, put it in her hair, and looked at her almost obsessively. He didn't know if he was talking about Bu Yao or her, "It's so beautiful."

Zuo Xiangning blushed and picked up the paper underneath Bu Yao, "What is this?"

"Open it and take a look." Ling Xiao smiled.

Zuo Xiangning opened it and saw that they were all house deeds.

"You...what do you mean?" Zuo Xiangning asked nervously.

"If you leave these things here, we will have to eat with them in the future." Ling Xiao put his arm around her shoulders and told her.

"Why did you give me these things?" Zuo Xiangning put them back into the box, "I don't want them!"

"This belongs to both of us." Ling Xiao pressed her forehead and whispered: "There is also a house deed for the fifth house in Dongcheng. When you have time, go over and take a look. Whatever should be added to the house, just add it. What, Bingyun and Bingyu know where they are."

Zuo Xiangning couldn't help but blush when she heard what he said, as if the two were already husband and wife.

She lowered her red face and said softly, "Yeah."

"I will leave the capital for a few days tomorrow. I will try to come back before the fifteenth to accompany you to see the lanterns." Ling Xiao stroked her hair and rested her head on his shoulder.

His eyes were dimly looking at the dancing candlelight not far away.Zuo Xiangning said softly, "Hmm" and refrained from asking him what he was doing.

Ling Xiao left in a hurry this time. He stayed for less than half an hour when a cat meowed outside.

Zuo Xiangning was worried. She didn't know if Ling Xiao would be too embarrassed if she forced him like this.

But she couldn't help but force him.

She likes him, she wants to be with him, she doesn't want to be with other men, and she can't tolerate him being with other women.

She wanted to fight without hurting her family.

After leaving Zuo Mansion, Ling Xiao did not return to Zhongyuan Hou Mansion, but went to the backyard of Wanfu Pawnshop.

As soon as he entered the room, several people sitting in the room stood up to greet him.

He waved his hand and asked Ling Wu: "What was the result?"

Ling Wu hesitated for a moment and said: "Maybe it was the Yang family in Cangzhou..."

"What does 'maybe' mean?" Ling Xiao's fingers tightly grasped the armrests of the chair.

"My subordinates are incompetent," Ling Wu stood in the middle of the ground. "The two captured were dead soldiers and have committed suicide by biting their tongues."

"A dead soldier?" Ling Xiao asked in shock: "Can the Yang family have a dead soldier?"

"The way they behave," Ling Wu said, "is definitely not like ordinary domestic slaves or guards."

"Ling San, did you find anything there?" Ling Xiao asked Ling San.

Ling San took out two letters and handed them to Ling Xiao, "These are the letters that Madam Hou had sent to Cangzhou a few days ago. My subordinate Yu wrote a copy."

Ling Xiao held the letter in his hand, but was not in a hurry to read it.

He knew that he should let people watch the Hou Mansion, and write a copy of all the letters, including who his mother met and what she said, he should let people watch her!
But that was his mother. How could he let people monitor the mother who gave birth to him and raised him?

Who has Ling Xiao become?

He looked at the six people standing in front of him.

This is the guard beside him, chosen by his father when he was seven years old.

The six of them only took orders from him.

But he didn't expect that he would now use them to investigate his parents.

"You all, please stand down." Ling Xiao sent out the few who were hesitant to speak.

He took the letters, looked at them, and tore one open.

He read the letter from beginning to end, and it only contained some simple family matters and interesting things about his second brother.

Ling Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.

When I opened another letter, I felt noticeably lighter.

The first page of this letter was fine, and the writing was similar to the previous one, but on the second page, there was an abrupt sentence that the prince would go to Shanxi in March.

Ling Xiao was indeed going to Shanxi in March, but this time he went to Shanxi secretly to meet someone on behalf of the second prince. Very few people knew about it. He had not mentioned it to his mother. How did his mother know about it?

What's the point of telling the Yang family specifically about this matter?
Ling Xiao looked at the word "Prince" and felt a little sad.

My mother wrote to my maternal grandfather's family, calling him the crown prince and her second brother "Chen'er".

He put the letter back, put it in his arms, stood up, and said to the door: "Come in."

Several people waiting outside the door came in and stood in front of him.

"Ling Si and Ling Wu are coming with me to Cangzhou. Ling San, please watch the Hou Mansion. Everyone who Mrs. Hou met and what she said must be recorded one by one."

If it were just him, he might have endured it, but now that he had agreed to that woman, he had to get to the bottom of it!
