Ling Jingshu and her group arrived early, after receiving treatment and medicine, it was still very early.

After getting on the carriage, Ling Ji suggested with a smile: “It’s rare to come here, so there’s no need to rush back home early. This place is very close to Nanshi. How about I take you to Nanshi for a tour?”

Jiang Shi felt quite moved upon hearing this.

However, Ling Jingshu declined politely and implicitly: “Bómǔ is still waiting at home for us to go back. It is better to go back earlier and tell her the good news that Ah Xiao’s eyes can be cured, so as not to worry.”

The last time, she was in Dingxiang they met King Yan. Who knew what would happen to them when she went to Nanshi this time!

Every time she went out, she always got into unexpected trouble. It was better to go out less frequently.

Ling Ji didn’t understand yet and was about to persuade Ling Jingshu to go to Nanshi together. But Jiang Shi quickly understood and immediately smiled and said: “Ah Shu is right, we can go to Nanshi later when we have time. It’s better to go back home early today!”

As she spoke, she quietly tugged on Ling Ji’s sleeve.

Ling Ji’s words came to his lips and changed to: “It’s okay, I didn’t think well. Ah Xiao underwent acupuncture treatment today and is not in good spirits at the moment. Let’s return home and rest early.”

The couple were both exceptionally understanding, warm, and caring, each surpassing the other in thoughtfulness and affection.

Ling Jingshu felt grateful and moved in her heart: “Thank you, tángxiōng, tángsǎo.”

Ling Xiao had just been pricked by a golden needle on an acupuncture point on his head, and the sting slowly dissipated, replaced by laziness and fatigue. In addition, he was so excited and nervous the night before that he almost didn’t sleep all night.

At this time, he was nestled next to Ling Jingshu, feeling tired. He rested his head on Ling Jingshu’s shoulder and fell asleep in a daze.

…

Ling Jingshu didn’t want to disturb Ling Xiao, so she maintained the same posture along the way.

When they arrived at Ling’s house, her back was sore and painful, and it was almost stiff.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Ling’s house, and Ling Xiao finally woke up, shyly wiping the saliva from his mouth: “Have I been sleeping for a long time?”

Ling Ji suppressed a smile and replied solemnly, “It’s not really that long, just a little over an hour.”

After getting on the carriage, he fell asleep and slept until the carriage stopped.

Ling Xiao smiled shyly, and suddenly thought of something again. Looking at Ling Jingshu: “Ah Shu, I’ve been sleeping on your shoulder this whole way. Haven’t you moved at all? Is your whole body sore and painful now?”

The two siblings generally slept lightly. After falling asleep, you will be awakened if the people around you move. He slept soundly along the way. It was all Ling Jingshu’s hard work.

Ling Jingshu pretended to smile relaxedly and said: “That’s not true. You must be very tired. You were sleeping soundly just now. I even changed positions a few times, but you didn’t wake up.”

As she spoke, she rubbed her hands quietly. He rubbed his stiff waist and winked at everyone.

Don’t expose me.

Everyone showed a knowing smile.

Ling Xiao couldn’t see. Of course, Ling Jingshu’s silent little movements at this time could not be seen.

Everyone got off the carriage one by one and entered the Ling family gate.

…

Ling Jingyan’s body had not recovered yet, and she was still lying on the bed to rest.

Sun Shi had nothing to do and was sitting by the bed, chatting with her daughter. Then the maid came to report: ” Seventh Miss, the young master, and the others are back.”

Before Sun Shi could say anything, Ling Jingyan’s eyes lit up, and she swiftly rolled off the bed. “They’re finally back! I want to go see them right now!” she exclaimed.

Sun Shi felt both amused and exasperated, giving her a playful glare. “You’re not fully recovered yet, so don’t go out. Just stay obediently in bed,” she said.

“Mom, I’ve been lying in bed for a few days. If I lie down any longer, I’ll get moldy.” Ling Jingyan shouted exaggeratedly and aggrievedly: “They went to Huichun Hall today, but I couldn’t go with them. Now I want to go out and hear what happened to them, but you won’t let me go. Are you really planning to suffocate me to death?”

“Pah, pah, pah! You silly girl, talking about life and death like that, it’s not auspicious,” Mrs. Sun scolded Ling Jingyan incessantly. “In the end, it’s all because of you. Who told you to kick the blankets in your sleep and catch a chill in the middle of the night…”

As soon as the cause of the illness was mentioned, Ling Jingyan felt a pang of guilt and quickly changed the subject. “Mom, please stop nagging. I’m almost completely recovered now, and it’s very hot outside. I won’t catch another cold if I go out,” she said.

“Bitao, hurry up and help me dress and make up.”

With this attitude, if she was not allowed to go out, she would make a fuss.

In desperation, Sun Shi had no choice but to tell Bi Tao: “Pick a thicker dress. Don’t let the young lady get cold.” She also told Ling Jingyan: “You will walk slower later and don’t run around.”

Ling Jingyan smiled. Bi Tao nodded in agreement.

After Ling Jingyan dressed up, the mother and daughter went to the inner hall.

As soon as she entered the inner hall, Ling Jingyan threw Sun Shi’s advice behind her, rushed to Ling Jingshu’s side, and asked excitedly: “Ah Shu, how are you? Have you seen Dr. Wei today? Is he really very handsome? How is he compared to His Majesty the Imperial Grandson?”

Ling Jingshu: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Ling Jingyan was making a fuss about coming over just to ask about this “important matter”!

Sun Shi wanted to scold her with a sullen face, but she couldn’t help but smile in her eyes: “Ah Yan, please sit aside and don’t act nonsense.”

Ling Jingyan retorted plausibly: “I’m not fooling around. I’ve heard about Dr. Wei for a long time that he is extremely handsome. I couldn’t follow them to see it with my own eyes this time. I feel really regretful. Of course, I have to ask. Is he as handsome as a celestial being descending on Earth?”

Ling Jingshu chuckled and replied, “Yan tángjiě, ‘as handsome as a celestial being’ is usually used to describe women! How did you apply it to Physician Wei?”

Ling Jingyan shrugged. “Heavenly immortals aren’t all female, are they? There are heavenly women, so there should also be men who become immortals! Anyway, that’s what everyone says. Don’t dodge the question, just tell me! Is Physician Wei handsome or not?”

In Ling Jingshu’s mind, the image of Physician Wei’s handsome and refined face quickly flashed by.

“He is very handsome.” This was the truth, and there was no shame in saying it.

Jiang Shi couldn’t help but nodded in agreement: “Yes, Dr. Wei is indeed unparalleled in beauty.”

Sun Shi also listened with her ears pricked up.

Men liked to talk about the beauty of women when they were together. Similarly, when women were together, what they liked to talk about most was the beautiful men. This was human nature, and no one was exempt from it.

Ling Jingyan asked enthusiastically: “How does he compare with His Highness Taisun?” ^[1]Imperial Grandson

Ling Jingshu didn’t want to answer that question directly, so she casually remarked, “His Highness Taisun possesses innate dignity and extraordinary bearing, while Physician Wei has miraculous healing hands and compassion for the suffering. They each have their own unique qualities, so it’s not appropriate to compare them.”

Ling Ji quickly took over the conversation. “Exactly, exactly. Ah Yan, it’s not just Big Brother saying this to you. You’re already grown up, so why are you still so superficial, only caring about looks? You should focus on temperament and substance. If you want to admire and worship someone, it should be someone like me…”

Everyone was amused and burst into laughter.
