Chapter 78 (1/2)

Having no other alternative, Chu Ting’er began to plot in secret. The moment the Emperor gave the celebratory decree, she cajoled him to send out another decree! When the time comes, she would bring her son to have a look, and whomever took his fancy, she would request from the Emperor to bestow upon them a marriage. Riding on the influence that Ling Xiao had continuously acc.u.mulated merits for the country, she would definitely make her son bring home a daughter-in-law for her that day!

To not have anyone coming up to propose marriage was no big deal, but to even be rejected even after knocking on their doors repeatedly was too offensive! What kind of nonsense was this? The Ling Family could be considered an outstanding family clan, why would marrying their daughters into the family be anything shameful? Chu Ting’er was utterly infuriated! Thus she hatched this ghastly plan, thinking, ”The whole lot of you don’t agree, right? Good, then I’ll get the Emperor himself to send out a decree! Let’s see who still can make any noise by then!”

Ling Chen who was standing at the side spontaneously burst into peals of laughter, trembling like a blossom in the wind. Seeing the depressed look on Ling Tian’s face, she found it harder and harder to stop.

Ling Tian could not be any more depressed, to think that his own mother had turned into a stumbling block in his current path to stay single! It was actually to the point that she plotted about going to the Emperor and asking for a bestowing of marriage! Thinking up to this point, Ling Tian felt like smas.h.i.+ng his head on a block of beancurd to kill himself! [1]

Little did he imagine that Chu Ting’er was actually just as depressed as he was! That her own son actually became a silkpants? Chu Ting’er really wanted to go out to the public and yell out that her son actually did not force himself on any village girls, and neither did he do any atrocities, so how was he a silkpants? Even the servant girl that stuck beside him like a shadow for the past ten years in his room was still a virgin, so where did the word silkpants originate from?!

Was it because he always got into fights? But whose family’s children did not get into quarrels and fights in the capital? This showed how lively and normal my son actually was! Beating up the prince, as well as the official’s son? This showed the talent my son possessed! It showed that the other children did not have the ability to fight with Ling Tian! If they have the ability, they are welcome to beat my son up! What useless chaps, defaming by son by saying that he is a silkpants after being defeated, pui!

Chu Ting’er could not help but feel indignant from deep within her heart!

The way she looked at Ling Tian also grew more and more dull. Being tagged with the name of a silkpants, just by going out to fight, what can you expect to achieve? Can fighting bring you back a wife? It's also fine if you want to kidnap a lady back. So long as you manage to cook the raw rice, you would only endure a beating! However, where can the girl run too? What has been done cannot be undone, the family of that girl could only recognize this relations.h.i.+p! A beating in exchange for a wife, are you at an disadvantage? You look like a gentleman, but your flirting cannot even compare with your uncouth father!

Sometimes, Chu Ting’er could not help but panic, and itched to remind her son again and again to find a suitable girl and aggressively push himself onto her! If not for the fact that she could not bring herself to do that, she would have long ago chased Ling Tian out with a stick to find a girl to flirt with!

What a shameful matter! He was still the only direct descendant of the Duke Ling! The only son of the great General Ling! To think that he could not even find a prospective partner! And no one wanted to even bring up the topic of marriage with him! This, this was an epic comical scene, a situation which surpa.s.sed even the most absurdness of situations!

Seeing how Ling Tian was staring blankly into s.p.a.ce, Chu Ting’er fumed for a moment, and viciously aimed a kick at him, ”Go and get ready, ask Mister Qin to teach you how to recite several poems! Remember, don’t reveal your hooligan nature once you step out of the house! If things still doesn’t work out this time, then your mother will break your legs!”

Chu Ting’er felt helpless. This kid looked like some tender strawberry on the outside, but was actually extremely tenacious! After being repeatedly beaten for half an hour, crying for his mom and dad, he only took a nap before lively jumping about as though there was nothing wrong! No one knew how his muscles were made, unbelievably tough!

Seeing how his mother came in full of smiles, but left full of anger, Ling Chen by the side had long ago collapsed due to stomach pain from laughing! Holding her little stomach, she continuously groaned as she tried to stifle her laughter. Seeing her half dead look, Ling Tian could only grind his teeth. He could not help but grab her and flip her over, placing her on his knees and give her buxom yet perky b.u.t.tocks two sound smacks. The sharp and clear smacks sounded like melodious music to his ears, and boy, was that feeling good!

Ling Chen screamed shrilly, jumping up immediately as she held on to her b.u.t.tocks, her little face flushed red like blood. The rims of her eyes reddened immediately.
