Chapter 69 - It Wasnt Proper (2/2)

Ling Zhaowen looked embarra.s.sed, “Father!”

Oh G.o.d, he didn’t tell Ling Zhang about the engagement. But he couldn’t tell his father that Ling Zhang learned it from a dream.

However…

“Father, I can’t understand. Why did you stop me? He will know it sooner or later. He can prepare for it early if we tell him. Otherwise he might be taken by surprise.” Ling Zhaowen said.

“Alas, let’s talk about it later.” Ling Xingzhong sighed.

Ling Zhaowen was speechless but didn’t dare to disobey his father. So he had to give up.

Ling Zhang didn’t realize what his grandpa and uncle were talking about after he left. Tao Yi invited him to see Marshal Yuwen in the capital first. Then Yuwen Tong wanted him to go to the capital together. Now his grandpa and uncle also wanted him to marry Yuwen Tong. Why did everyone believe that he liked Yuwen Tong?

Where on earth did they find he liked Yuwen Tong?

Ling Zhang’s face changed many times. He kept silent in the yard. Then he raised his head to see the moon overhead.

“Marshal, Childe Ling has stood in the yard for a long time.” Someone instantly reported to Yuwen Tong in the Green Bamboo Mansion.

Yuwen Tong remained silent for a while. Ling Xingzhong and Ling Zhaowen called Ling Zhang to have a talk after dinner. Although Yuwen Tong didn’t hear their words, he could guess it according to Ling Xingzhong’s pa.s.sionate att.i.tude toward him at the dinner.

“Yao Yi, he feels it is inappropriate to go to the capital with me. Why would he think so?” Yuwen Tong suddenly asked Yao Yi.

Yao Yi was dazed for a moment. He didn’t know how to answer this question, either. Long time later, he faltered, “Maybe Childe Ling thinks he is not familiar with you.”

Yuwen Tong took a look at him and said, “I appear in front of him every day. Is it not enough?”

Yao Yi felt the pressure and explained, “I… It’s just a guess.”

Yuwen Tong’s face turned dark quickly. He complained, “Then you can just keep mute.”

Yao Yi closed his mouth soon and didn’t dare to say a word. He was bitter in his heart. Marshal asked it! How could marshal blame him when he couldn’t give a proper answer? He didn’t have any engagement with Childe Ling!

Well, hold on, did marshal mean that he wanted to take Childe Ling to get married in the capital?

Did marshal really want to marry Childe Ling?

Yao Yi became excited instantly. He asked, “Marshal, will Childe Ling become our Mrs. Marshal?”

Yuwen Tong paused for a while. Mrs. Marshal?

That sounded great.

“Got a problem with that?” Yuwen Tong asked him coldly.

“Of course not. I couldn’t agree more if you like him. And Childe Ling is good-looking and has a good temper. He is also kind to others, which is different from other arrogant n.o.ble ladies. Lord Ling once helped our old marshal. You also have an engagement. It’s a good thing that you get married with him!” Yao Yi said soon without any hesitation.

Yuwen Tong snorted coldly and was finally satisfied.

“Marshal, Childe Ling is still standing there. It is colder than last night.” The person came in to report again.

Yuwen Tong frowned and finally went out.

Ling Zhang was thinking about his engagement with Yuwen Tong. Seeing the moon, he gradually started to think of other things and forgot where he was.

He didn’t come back to himself until his body felt warm.

A cloak was put on him.

He turned his head and saw Yuwen Tong standing behind him.

“What are you thinking about? You almost become a stone.” Yuwen Tong said.

Ling Zhang wanted to give the cloak back to him. But Yuwen Tong stopped him and said, “You should either go back to your house or wear it.”

Ling Zhang pursed his lips and turned to walk to his house. His feet were a little rigid because of the long standing. So he walked slowly.

Ling Zhang took off his cloak and handed it to Yuwen Tong after arriving at the door of his house.

Yuwen Tong took a look at the cloak in his hand and held it. He asked, “Did your grandpa say anything?”

“Nothing. I was just lost in thought suddenly. How do you know I was standing in the yard?” Ling Zhang asked.

Yuwen Tong didn’t answer. But Ling Zhang had guessed it. He looked at the house next to him and said, “I almost forgot you have a group of great guards.”

“If it is related to me, I hope you tell me directly.” Yuwen Tong stared at him.

“Will you break off the engagement if I tell you?” Ling Zhang also looked at him.

It was truly about the engagement. Yuwen Tong thought. Then he answered quickly, “No.”

Ling Zhang looked at him for a long time quietly and said, “Then you’d better not ask me about it.”
