Chapter 2, Part 3: Grandmother
The fourteen years old Ling Jing Shu not only had alluring beauty, she also had the skill of growing famous peony species, making all her cousins seems more dull.
Old Madam Ling's favoritism towards Ling Jing Shu was well known by everybody.
Ling Jing Xian spent a lot of efforts to please her grandmother, but once Ling Jing Shu came in, her grandmother's eyes only have Ling Jing Shu.
Ling Jing Shu gave Ling Jing Xian a smile, “Cousin Xian is here to make grandmother happy, grandmother where will still have time to remember me.”
Ling Jing Xian was only older than her by one year. She had always been very eager to win her, everything also wanted to compete with her, she even liked the same man as her. It's a pity that Ling Jing Xian had never win before.
Old Madam Ling listened to the two granddaughters fighting to get her affection, she felt very happy, laughed and said, ” Alright, both of you are my favorite, can't do without any of you.”
The daughter-in-laws and granddaughters all laughed.
Ling Family's children and grandchildren studied at home during the day, even the youngest Ling Fou had started to study. Usually, in the inner house only had womenfolk, the only male here was Ling Xiao.
Old Madam Ling asked Ling Jing Shu a few more questions, then she turned to look at Ling Xiao and said, “Shu jie-er was sicked for two days, you were also worried about her, did not eat and drink properly. Now she has recovered, you feel at ease.”
Ling Xiao smiled and said, “Yes, grandson had let grandmother worried.”
Old Madam Ling replied with a smile, “Grandmother is fated to be always in labor, worry a bit more is nothing much for me. As long as all of you are good, grandmother will feel more at ease.”
Love and pity were easy to express.
Madam Li's eyes flashed with a bit of hatred and jealousy, but her face was filled with a smile, “Mother-in-law had a Buddha heart, every children and grandchildren in this house all hoped that mother-in-law can praise them a few words. Me this daughter-in-law also hope to get mother-in-law's sympathy.”
Old Madam Ling being teased by these words, felt even more happy.
