Chapter 206 Knowing the Truth

Ling Xiao's expression changed again and again, and after hearing the last part, he was even more shocked and horrified.

No wonder Ah Shu had no good feelings towards the Lu brothers.

No wonder Ah Shu insisted on coming to the capital.

No wonder Ah Shu avoided both the Crown Prince and the King of Yan.

It turned out that Ah Shu had such a strange disease. He was obviously the person closest to her, but he was so careless that he had never noticed it...

"Ah Shu," Ling Xiao fumbled and clenched Ling Jingshu's hand, his voice trembling: "Such an important thing, why did you keep it from me?"

Ling Jingshu sighed softly: "This disease makes it really difficult for me to talk about it. If it weren't for my father coming to the capital, I still wouldn't tell you. Ah Xiao, you don't have to blame yourself. I deliberately wanted to hide it from you, how could you have noticed it."

Ling Xiao's nose was sour, and his heart was sour and sad: "Ah Shu, your life is too hard."

A girl in the boudoir, suffering from such a strange disease, what should she do in the future? Will she never get married in her life?

No!

He couldn't bear to watch Ah Shu suffer.

Ling Xiao's mind was working quickly: "I have never heard of this strange disease. However, as long as it is a disease, there must be hope of cure. There are many famous doctors in the capital, and there will always be one who can cure you."

At this point, Ling Xiao was excited again: "See Doctor Wei in a few days and beg him to treat you. Doctor Wei is the youngest and most powerful doctor in the Imperial Hospital. His medical skills are unmatched. He will definitely be able to cure you..."

"No need to ask Doctor Wei."

Ling Jingshu calmly interrupted Ling Xiao: "More than a month ago, Doctor Wei discovered my strange disease when he was taking my pulse at Princess Changping's mansion. He was helpless."

Ling Xiao was speechless.

"Ah Xiao, this may not be a bad thing for me." Ling Jingshu's voice was still calm and firm: "I don't want to get married, and I don't want others to arrange and manipulate my fate. As long as my illness is not cured, no one can force me."

My illness is not cured, no one can force me...

Ling Xiao pondered this sentence silently, and the more he thought about it, the more meaningful it felt.

Ah Shu's illness is not incurable, but she simply doesn't want to be cured!

Ling Jingshu saw that Ling Xiao seemed to have realized something, and chuckled: "Okay, don't think about it. I know what to do."

After a pause, he said: "I will deal with my father's side. The most important thing for you now is to rest and recuperate, don't worry about these."

It doesn't matter how stiff and cold she and Ling Wuye are. But these should not affect Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao responded vaguely, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart.

If Ling Wuye forced Ling Jingshu regardless of anything, he would never sit idly by. Even if he had to completely break up with his father, he would stand up and stand in front of Ling Jingshu.

…

In the evening, the Ling family held a family dinner.

The men sat at one table, and the women sat at another table.

Everyone tacitly ignored the unpleasant scene that happened in the afternoon.

Ling Jingyan curiously asked about Ling Jingshu's trip, and Ling Jingshu said something evasive. She didn't mention Empress Xu's difficulties and the subsequent appearance of Doctor Wei.

"The Concubine is really approachable and treats you so well!" Ling Jingyan's tone revealed a hint of envy: "Ashu, you are so lucky."

Jiang also smiled and said: "Yes, Ashu is very lucky and has won the favor of Princess Anya and Concubine. If these things are spread out, I don't know how many ladies in the capital will be jealous."

Even Sun said a lot of good things.

Ling Jingshu smiled and said nothing. It was not until the end of the banquet that she whispered, "Cousin, Sister Yan, I have been hiding something from you. I am really sorry. Today is the day to tell you the truth."

Sun's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously opened her mouth to stop him, "Ah Shu, let's talk about this later."

"Aunt, my father came to the capital specially for my illness. If I continue to hide it from everyone, I will feel really bad."

Ling Jingshu's tone was indifferent and her expression was extremely determined.

Sun opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to dissuade her. She could only sigh helplessly, "Forget it, this is your business after all. Since you don't want to hide it anymore, let you do it."

Jiang and Ling Jingyan were so eager that they asked in unison, "Ah Shu, what's going on?"

Ling Jingshu lowered her voice and described her illness in the simplest words.

Ling Jingyan took a breath and looked at Ling Jingshu with astonishment: "How can there be such a strange disease in this world? Ah Shu, you didn't lie to us!"

Jiang frowned and looked at Ling Jingyan with a little reproach: "Such an important matter, how could Ah Shu lie to us."

Such a fuss, it hurt Ling Jingshu's heart too much.

Didn't you see that Sun didn't say a word? It was obvious that she knew about this matter a long time ago.

Ling Jingyan knew she had said something wrong, and immediately bowed her head to admit her mistake: "Ah Shu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you. I just heard it suddenly and couldn't react for a while."

Ling Jingshu was already used to Ling Jingyan's straightforward personality, and smiled faintly when she heard it: "Cousin Yan, I don't blame you. To be honest, if it was someone else who had a strange disease, I would inevitably be surprised when I heard about it. I didn't say it before because I didn't know how to start."

Ling Jingyan had an expression of sudden enlightenment on her face: "No wonder the Crown Prince and the King of Yan showed you goodwill, but you were not moved..."

What a pot that is not open!

Sun glared at Ling Jingyan.

Ling Jingyan stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to talk any more.

Jiang also figured out the reason and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Ling Jingshu is still so young and has such a strange disease. What will she do in the future?

I think so in my heart, but I can't say it in my mouth. Mrs. Jiang said a lot of comforting words.

Mrs. Sun also opened her mouth to comfort Ling Jingshu: "There is no disease that cannot be cured in this world. There are so many famous doctors in the capital, so we can just quietly invite famous doctors to come to the house to treat you."

Ling Jingshu twitched the corners of her lips: "Thank you, auntie. However, there is no need to ask a famous doctor. I have already asked Dr. Wei to treat me."

Mrs. Sun's eyes lit up, full of joy: "Oh? This is really great! Dr. Wei is best at treating difficult and complicated diseases, and his medical skills are superb and unmatched. It would be great if he is willing to treat you. I will tell your father the good news later, and he will be very happy."

Wei Yan's shield is indeed very useful.

A hint of unknown smile flashed in Ling Jingshu's eyes: "Then Auntie Lao will tell father."

Sun agreed immediately. For a moment, she didn't notice that Ling Jingshu could have told Lord Ling Wu about this kind of thing herself, but let her pass the message on.
