The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 282: That Same Expression

Translator: Vesper

After hearing Qiao Tian Chang’s explanation, Ning Meng Yao was no longer interested in that family. There was no need for her to take any precautions against Wei Zi Xin, for such a foolish opponent, there was no need for her to take action.

She turned her head and continued talking softly with Qiao Tian Chang.

Not long after, a whisper could be heard in the Imperial Garden: “Yao’er......”

That voice caused Qiao Tian Chang to narrow his eyes, he lifted his head and looked towards the direction of that voice.

It was the place Ling Luo and Xiao Zi Xuan was standing. Ling Luo’s gaze was absent minded as he looked at Ning Meng Yao.

That type of gaze was especially fatal to any woman, especially for Xiao Zi Xuan who had already lost everything.

Xiao Zi Xuan had begun to exercise restraint after something happened to her child, she would be busy caring for her child every day and ignore many things. However, today, Ling Luo making such a move in front of so many people, for her, it was undoubtedly slapping her in the face.

She looked at Ling Luo with a sneer at the corner of her mouth. She went off towards where the people of Xiao Residence were without even greeting Marquis Ling.

Marquis Ling couldn’t help but furrow his brows seeing Xiao Zi Xuan’s rude manner.

”Luo’er, looked at what kind of woman is she? She dares to treat us like this,” Marquis Ling did not mind, but that did not mean that his wife was alright with that. Xiao Zi Xuan’s departure had created a clamor.

Ling Luo looked at his own mother. Although he did not display anything on his face, he was feeling really annoyed in his heart.

Ever since his child had a high fever and suffered from brain damage, his mother had been criticizing Xiao Zi Xuan, saying how she did not know how to care for a child and caused her grandchild to end up like that.

She would bring it up to anyone she saw, but Xiao Zi Xuan was also not a person who would suffer in silence. Xiao Zi Xuan directly refuted and brought out all the things that she did.

In the end, both of them were embarrassed to a point of no return and Ling Residence became like a battlefield over the past period, causing Ling Luo and his father to feel unwilling to return home.

”Mother, can’t you read the occasion and calm yourself down?” Ling Luo was feeling annoyed as he looked at her.

Marquis Ling also looked at the woman beside him with displeasure: “Enough, look at what you look like right now, just like a marketplace shrew. What an embarrassment.”

His words caused the Marquise to choke and was unable to retort. She looked at Marquis Ling with eyes filled with disbelief.

What does he mean? He actually called her an embarrassment: “What do you mean by that?”

”Enough.”

Ling Luo’s brows were furrowed tightly. He immediately turned his head before the Marquise made another scene: “Mother, do you wish for the other envoys to treat our Ling Residence as a joke? If not, then just be quiet,” He really had enough of this woman.

The Marquise mouth was wide open. She finally shut her mouth, but she had an ugly expression.

After Xiao Zi Xuan went to Li Lin Er, the grievances in her eyes poured out in an instant and she told everything to him.

Li Lin Er was so angry after hearing her daughter’s experiences in Ling Residence. She looked at Duke Xiao and whispered in anger: “You can’t even protect your own daughter and grandchild, just what can you do?”

Xiao Yi Lin’s expression was already ugly to begin with, and it became uglier in an instant.

During this time, he had been investing his free time to Ning Meng Yao’s affairs, he also investigated some things that happened a dozen years ago in the Imperial Palace. It was related to Li Lin Er but he had yet to obtain any evidence.

Xiao Zi Xuan looked at Xiao Yi Lin’s expression. She knew things were going south: “Mother, please stop. Father has been very protective of me.”

”You’re still talking on his behalf,” Li Lin Er was even more angry.

”I’m telling the truth, all of this is that sl*t, Ning Meng Yao’s fault. I would not end up like this if not for her, it’s all her fault,” Xiao Zi Xuan was filled with hatred when she thought of Ling Luo’s obsession towards Ning Meng Yao.

It wasn’t only her, when Li Lin Er heard Ning Meng Yao’s name, she had a sinister expression. The reason she was imprisoned in her courtyard and had no way to come out was also because of that woman. At that moment, Xiao Zi Xuan and her mother’s expression were unusually similar.
