Chapter 294 (1/2)

Since it had been decided, Ling Jingxuan found a chance to secretly tell his two younger brothers, and they also approved it. The three brothers had had a problem with Ling Chenghua for that it was because of her that their mother had a miscarriage and could no longer get pregnant. Now she offered herself to them, how would they ever show mercy?

On the day of September 27, fifty thousand mu of wasteland reclamation was finally finished. After the noon, the workers all went back to the town to find Guarantor Liu for their wages. Ling Chenglong who walked back from the furthest piece of land looked high-spirited. Looking at the endless field ridges, dreaming that next year it may turn all into green, even the prawy Ling Chenglong unavoidably felt floated up.

“Master, is that the old xiucai’s…child?”

As they were getting home, Old Zhou who was driving saw Ling Jingxiao standing along the road from afar. Though the two families were related by blood, they also held deep hatred against each other. As a servant of Yuehua Manor, of course Old Zhou knew that. But, after all, their master was the son of that family, as a servant, he should show it too obviously.

“Huh? It’s Jingxiao. Zhou, pull over.”

Seeing that it was the youngest son of his third brother, Ling Chenglong hurriedly asked Old Zhou to stop. Although those people were bad, this child was good. When they built their house, this kid often went to hang out with them. But recently they didn’t see it. It should be that Lady Jiang’s thing was too big a blow to him. After all he was only twelve years old. It was reasonable he couldn’t accept the fact that his mother died.

“Second uncle.”

Ling Jingxiao also had seen them already, as the carriage stopped, Ling Jingxiao called, and in the eyes had some kind of complicated feelings that should not belong to his age. Grandma said it was brother Jingxuan who got his mother and elder sister ended up like that, and she kept saying that by his ears all day, over time, though as pure as he was, he believed it was true.

However, compared to his disacquaintance, Ling Chongcong grabbed his hands up with all smiles, then nagged while pulling up his sleeves to help him wipe the sweat, “Look at you. Why are you standing here? Though it is not that hot like dog days, it’s still quite hot since there is no shelter here.”

After his mother got repudiated, his father looked sullen all day, and his big sister-in-law also went back her own home, no one had cared about him like that long ago. And the former anger instantly disappeared, Ling Jingxiao got his eyes reddened, but his little hands hanging on both sides clenched into fists tightly. The little he was trying hard to restrain his anger. The favored little son now was getting mature little by little after that big change in the family.

“Grandma told me to wait for you here. She asked you to go to see her.”

Finally pressing down his surging emotions, Ling Jingxiao said with chokes. Ling Chenglong had a skip of his heart, and the hand wiping the sweat for him also froze there. After quite a while, he murmured woodenly, “Really? Then I will go with you.”

Ling Chenglong was not silly. It couldn’t be something good. But if he didn’t go, maybe Jingxiao would get punished or what.

“My lord, how about we go back to inform Master Xuan first?”
