Chapter 172 Raner, I brought back the two idiots
She mentioned this matter simply to remind Lin Qingyan that when her own strength was not strong enough, she should not anger the Queen again, so as not to affect her original plan.
Lin Qingyan was naturally aware of all this, but she didn't care. Whether pursuing wealth or power, she had other ways to achieve it, and becoming an imperial merchant was just one of them.
However, if she didn't punish Ye Jianrong and let herself vent her anger, how could she be called a woman of great courage, bah, a hero among women? Humph, not to mention how to protect Xiao Nianxiao.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at him, and found that he was actually looking at her. So, she couldn't help but smile at him.
Seeing this, Ling Nianxiao glared at Lin Qingyan coquettishly and reminded her: Mother is still here, stop smiling foolishly, it's so disrespectful.
Lin Qingyan understood the meaning of Nian Xiao's eyes and responded to him with a look, indicating that it was okay and he should not worry.
At this time, Ling Yao, who did not get a response from Lin Qingyan, slowly opened her eyes and turned to look at her, only to find that the two of them had actually started flirting with each other in the car! Did they treat her as a transparent person?
"Cough cough..." Ling Yao coughed with a gloomy face, trying to attract their attention.
But who would have thought that Lin Qingyan not only did not understand her intention, but instead asked back: "Mother-in-law, you are always coughing in this hot summer, are you feeling unwell?"
As soon as the words fell, Ling Yao's eyes widened, and Lin Qingyan immediately straightened up, not daring to move anymore, staring straight ahead with an expressionless face.
The little bastard actually dared to tease her with words! Ling Yao's eyes rolled, and a brilliant idea suddenly came to her mind: "Xiao'er, I've asked the master for three days' leave. You can stay at home and accompany me, okay?"
Her tone was full of expectation, without any commanding tone, just a simple inquiry. Ling Nianxiao really couldn't bear to disappoint his mother, and since he married Lin Qingyan, he hadn't been back to his mother's home for more than a year.
The last time he went back, his mother was busy with government affairs and worried about himself, and he didn't spend enough time with her, so he nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."
However, after Ling Nianxiao agreed, he turned around and looked at Lin Qingyan. His eyes were both seeking advice and apologetic.
Ling Yao glanced at Lin Qingyan with a smug look, as if to demonstrate to her.
Lin Qingyan was not angry, but smiled at Ling Yao generously: "Mother-in-law, I miss you and father-in-law very much. And I can't bear to be separated from Nian Xiao, so I also want to go to your house to bother you for a few days. I guess the expenses of adding one more person like me are just a drop in the bucket for your house."
When Ling Nianxiao heard this, he looked at Ling Yao expectantly, and reached out to pull Ling Yao's sleeve and shook it, acting quite like a spoiled child.
Ling Yao's heart was beating fast with anger. She didn't expect that she couldn't be cured. Looking at the expectation in Xiao'er's eyes, she also realized that she had separated them for more than a month. It was unreasonable to separate them again after they just got together. "Okay, then come to the mansion together."
At this moment, night gradually fell, and the setting sun dyed half of the sky red like blood, as if covering the whole world with a layer of warm-toned gauze. A gorgeously decorated carriage slowly drove to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and stopped steadily.
The curtain was gently opened, and the first thing that came into view was Lin Qingyan's beautiful face. She jumped lightly and got off the carriage gracefully, then turned around and stretched out her hands towards the inside of the carriage.
Ling Nianxiao was slightly surprised, but he still handed her his hand obediently, allowing Lin Qingyan to carefully carry him out of the car. During this process, Ling Nianxiao's face flushed slightly, which contrasted with the sunset in the sky.
Finally, it was Lin Qingyan's turn to help Ling Yao get off the car. However, Ling Yao didn't seem to appreciate it. She snorted coldly and said in a rather dissatisfied tone: "Humph, I'm not so weak that I need someone to help me!"
Lin Qingyan heard this, still with a faint smile on her face, and responded softly: "Mother-in-law, you are in your prime, naturally healthy, and not a useless person. It's just that I lost my parents when I was young, and now I feel the warmth and majesty of motherly love in you, and I can't help but feel close to you, and I just want to do my best to be filial."
Even so, Lin Qingyan's eyes revealed a trace of barely perceptible sadness. She continued, "If you feel uncomfortable, I will not bother you any more." After that, she pretended to take a few steps back, and the smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a lonely look.
These words were like a bolt of lightning that struck the softest part of Ling Yao's heart, causing her to involuntarily stretch out her hands, tightly hold Lin Qingyan's shoulders, and slowly walk down the stairs: "I didn't say I don't need you." The originally stiff and cold tone instantly softened.
Ling Nianxiao stood quietly by and witnessed the shocking change in his mother's attitude, and an indescribable smile welled up in his heart. He keenly caught the suggestive look Lin Qingyan cast at him, and immediately realized that his mother had already lost in this verbal battle.
It was dinner time at the mansion. Xiao Ran had already known that the young couple had caused trouble in front of the empress, and Ling Yao had not returned yet. She thought that they might return together. So, she specifically ordered the servants to prepare more food in case of emergency.
When Xiao Ran heard the servant report that they had returned to the mansion, he left his room without hesitation and walked towards the main hall to prepare for dinner.
"Ran'er, look, I brought back these two idiots who caused trouble!" Ling Yao saw Xiao Ran as soon as she entered the main hall, and shouted excitedly, as if to ask Xiao Ran for credit. However, Xiao Ran just rolled his eyes helplessly and muttered to himself: "You two are idiots, then what are you? Are you an egg, a duck egg, or a goose egg?"
Then he changed his expression again: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
This scene was heard by the three of them. Xiao Ran forgot that Ling Yao knew martial arts, so she could naturally hear what he said, but Ling Yao enjoyed it.
Lin Qingyan whispered to Ling Nianxiao behind him: "Dad changes his attitude very quickly, have you signed up for classes?"
Ling Nianxiao understood what she meant and couldn't help laughing: "Go away, if dad has learned face changing, has mom also learned it?"
Lin Qingyan was about to retort when she saw Ling Yao turn her head to look at her. She immediately retracted her neck and stopped muttering.
Yes, they are all people with great martial arts skills. My mother-in-law must have heard what she said. It’s over, it’s over. She will definitely play dirty tricks on me again.
