Others might not know his identity, Ling Jinghan already knew. Yesterday when the blacksmiths, Yan Si and others left, he knew he'd also leave. Plus, last night, he specially called Wen and Wu into their room, he was more firmly of his guessing, and that was also why he had been waiting here early. As for Yuan Shaoqi, he came himself. He also didn't know why.
'Although you have never received formal education, but you were lucky enough to get the guidance of my imperial sister-in-law, now with Juren Zhang's assistance, plus your own efforts, getting listed as a xiucai wouldn't be a difficult thing. I hope you can get listed during the autumn imperial examinations and go back to the capital with us. I will recommend you to study in the Imperial Academy and make full preparations for the exams in spring next year.'
Rarely, Yan Shengrui also talked a lot. Except Ling Jingxuan and two children, he rarely had any sincere communication with the rest of the family. It was not that he didn't want to, but he really didn't know how to cut in their conversation. The thing he liked most was watching Jingxuan chatting with them, or arranging them to do things.
"If you don't say that, I will study hard. As long as I have good prospects, my parents and big brother stick out their chests before others. And after going to the capital, those people wouldn't be particular of my big brother.
Speaking of which, Ling Jingxuan slightly lowered his eyes. He was no clear how much the imperial family cared about a matched marriage. But he only hoped that at least he could create more solid back for his big brother and wouldn't let those people who had a problem with his farmer background ride over his head.
"No need. It's never other's turn to judge my wife. You only need to take care of yourself. Jinghan, I can give you the glory others couldn't get for their whole life. But I'm also clear that's not what Jingxuan wants to see. He hopes that you can grow strong yourself, but not relying on me. Take good care of Jingxuan and the kids.'
After giving him a deep eye, with a tip of tiptoe, Yan Shengrui instantly disappeared into the dark. Ling Jinghan subconsciously moved a few steps forward, murmuring with his fists clenched, 'I will! Brother Rui, I won't let my big brother down!'
If it were not for his big brother, he would have turned into a pile of dirt. When their family was in the most difficult time, the big brother never forced him to do anything, and the only thing he wanted him to do was study hard. His parents and younger brother were the same. Even if not for himself, but for his family who were always there behind his back, he'd study hard and get listed!
After Yan Shengrui left, Yan Yi also hid in the dark silently. Watching Ling Jinghan's thin back, Yuan Shaoqi took off his cloak, moved a few steps forward and put it on for him, and put his hand on his shoulder. It seemed Ling Jinghan also didn't notice that they were over intimate now.
"You're also not ordinary, right?"
After quite some time, Ling Jinghan's voice suddenly sounded. Yuan Shaoqi who was holding him froze there, then raised that symbolic ruffian smile, "Yeah, I am the only son of Duke Yuan, but don't worry. I promise I have no ill intention against Prince Sheng and his wife.'
He had never doubted Ling Jinghan's shrewdness, even, he most liked that part of him. He wanted to keep him by his side forever.
"If you have that intention, I'm afraid you are already a rotten body now."
Did he really think his big brother and Brother Rui were vegetarians? Ling Jinghan rolled his eyes at him, then broke free from him and turned to leave. Yuan Shaoqi almost instantly understood the meaning of his words, so he caught up and held his shoulder shamelessly again, "How can you belittle me? Anyway, I am son of a duke. How could I allow myself to be trampled upon by others?"
Although Yuan Shaoqi was dissatisfied with his father, he was very close to his grandfather Duke Yuan. Under his tutelage, plus his mother knew had some martial arts, he was also good at martial arts. In fact, he had long wanted to go to the battlefield, but he just didn't want to earn honor for his father.
"They are not others. You can try if you don't believe it."
Stopping his steps and squinting at his claw holding his shoulder, Ling Jinghan gave a nearly unnoticeable frown, wondering if he should use the poison his big brother gave him for self-defense.
pαndα`noνɐ1~сoМ "Oh, come on. Give me a break. I saw that your big brother has taught his little disciple not only medical skills, but also a lot of things about poison using I have never heard of. Each of his twenty little medical boys can make simple poisons. I don't want to offend them."
Yuan Shaoqi instantly showed a scared expression. Lookers-on see most of the game. He was crystal clear that to offend Ling Jingxuan was not simply seeking death. He would only make one feel to live is no better than to die. So, he'd never become foes with him.
"Have you held me enough?
No longer wanting to talk to him, Ling Jinghan coldly looked at his claw holding him and said in a low voice.
"No, I'm addicted. I guess I'll never quit it."
Yuan Shaoqi gave his ruffian smile, saying with an ambiguous tone as he drew close to him.
"Then I'll help you."
"Huh?"
Having no idea what he meant, Yuan Shaoqi looked up strangely, the next second, some kind of transparent powder suddenly got blown into his face, Yuan Shaoqi hurriedly took several steps backwards, but still got his skin stained with some of it, and his skin instantly got reddened, also accompanied by a terrible itching, while Ling Jinghan already walked away.
'Damn it!'
Yuan Shaoqi cursed. The itching feeling all over told him that it should not be some kind of deadly poison, but only made it itching for a while. He felt so upset, of course, not because of Ling Jinghan, but himself. Clearly, he knew Jinghan was a black-bellied one, why hadn't he stayed alert just now? Who else could he blame?
