The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 239: Still useful

Translator: Vesper

Ling Luo wasn’t polite to Xiao Zi Xuan at all and had a strong disgust upon seeing her.

He was now very regretful. He actually gave up the person who he loved for such a person.

“Ling Luo, are you threatening me?” Xiao Zi Xuan knew that her father probably arrived when she saw him like this.

Ling Luo glanced at Xiao Zi Xuan before turning to leave. At the same time, he ordered someone to bring his child over from his mother.

“My Lady, he...”

“Let’s go to see Father.” Xiao Zi Xuan broke off the servant’s words and said coldly.

Ling Luo was disdainful towards her. Now, she also regretted marrying Ling Luo in the first place. Despite her regret, she had no way out. After all, she had a child now.

When Xiao Zi Xuan arrived, Marquis Ling was having a conversation with Xiao Yi Lin.

“Father.” Xiao Zi Xuan’s eyes reddened when she saw Xiao Yi Lin.

She knew that she had gotten into trouble this time and her brother was going to be executed because of her. However, her father still came to give her his support, how could she not feel she had let him down.

Xiao Yi Lin’s feelings were a little complex after seeing his daughter, but he still went to her and patted her shoulders, “Are you alright?”

“Father, I am fine. Don’t worry.”

“I’m relieved that you are fine. Go and visit your mother when you can.” Xiao Yi Lin wore a faint smile and pampered her just as before.

When she saw Xiao Yi Lin at first, she didn’t have the urge to cry. But at this moment when her father was still cared so much about her, her tears began to fall from her cheeks.

“Father, I know it did wrong. I’m sorry, it was all my fault.” Xiao Zi Xuan fell into Xiao Yi Lin’s embrace at once and kept apologizing.

Xiao Yi Lin’s body grew rigid slightly, but he very quickly relaxed himself and patted her shoulder, “It’s alright now, everything is going to be fine.”

“Thank you, Father.”

Marquis Ling stood at the side as he watched them, and a glimmer flashed across his eyes.

Very quickly, a faint smile appeared on his rigid face.

Ling Luo glanced at his own father and immediately understood what he meant.

Xiao Yi Lin only stayed for a while before leaving Ling Residence. After he left, Xiao Zi Xuan also took her leave and returned to her place, leaving only Ling Luo and his father behind.

“Luo’er, what do you think of them?” Marquis Ling glanced at Xiao Zi Xuan’s back as she left and squinted his eyes.

Ling Luo shook his head, “I don’t know.” Ling Luo had his suspicions. Xiao Ming Ren was going to be executed because of Xiao Zi Xuan. Although it was due to his improper conduct, it was also indirectly Xiao Zi Xuan’s fault. However, Xiao Yi Lin still pampered Xiao Zi Xuan like before.

Could it be that he dotes on his daughter even more?

“No matter what, don’t drift too far apart from Xiao Zi Xuan. We still can make use of her.” Marquis Ling told him profoundly.

Ling Luo looked at Marquis Ling in doubt, “What does Father mean?”

“You will know in the future, now is not the time.” Marquis Ling shook his head and didn’t let Ling Luo know.

Ling Luo frowned slightly, but still nodded his head.

However, there was only disgust towards Xiao Zi Xuan in his heart.

After Qiao Tian Chang returned from the execution ground, Ning Meng Yao was sitting with an embroidered basket beside her.

He walked over to her side and held onto her waist, “Why don’t you rest more?”

“I’m already fine. Did everything go smoothly?” Ning Meng Yao pushed Qiao Tian Chang away for fear that the needle in her hand might prick him.

Qiao Tian Chang sat down in front of her and took a sip of tea before saying, “Duchess Xiao went and cause a small episode, but that’s all.”

“That’s good.” Ning Meng Yao looked at Qiao Tian Chang with a smile.

Qiao Tian Chang watched Ning Meng Yao pulled the thread in her hands and cut them with scissors, “What are you planning to do next on your end?”

“I’ll naturally have to continue.” Ning Meng Yao told him without raising her head up.

Qiao Tian Chang raised his eyebrows slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked up slightly, “En, alright then.”

“Go try if this fits.” Ning Meng Yao shook the clothes in her hands and passed them to Qiao Tian Chang.

It was a bit unexpected for Qiao Tian Chang, “This is for me?”
