Chapter 34 Fatherly Love......
Ling Jingshu looked at Master Ling Wu with filial and sincere eyes: "Father has a lot of entertainment and spends a lot of money on weekdays. We have some private rooms in our fifth house, and most of them are at my mother's place. Father doesn't have much money around him. So, father doesn't have to do it for Ah. Xiao went out of his way to raise money for his treatment."
Ling Wuye: "..."
No matter how thick-skinned Mr. Ling is, he still feels hot behind his ears.
As a father, at this time, he could not admit that he had no money for medical treatment. Under the respectful and trusting eyes of my daughter, I felt even more embarrassed to just nod like that.
Ling Wuye cleared his throat and said: "Ah Xiao has been blind for many years. If it can be cured and restored to normal, it will be worth it no matter how much it costs. Keep the money your grandmother gave you, and I also have some banknotes here. The number is small, and that’s what my father wants. You should take it with you for self-defense!”
As he spoke, he took a very thick book from the bookshelf. Opening the book, there was a pile of banknotes inside. Just like Mrs. Ling's, they were all Longsheng's banknotes, five hundred taels each.
Obviously, Mrs. Ling gave this to Fifth Master Ling privately.
Mrs. Ling has three biological children. Uncle Ling is in the capital all the year round. Mrs. Ling is married and away from home. Only her youngest son, Fifth Master Ling, is her descendant. It is human nature for Mrs. Ling to be partial to Fifth Master Ling. I don't know how much private money he has subsidized in private, and Ling Wuye has enough confidence to make friends and have a carefree and romantic life outside.
Even Mrs. Li could only look at these silvers helplessly, never daring to ask how much they had, let alone asking for them to use at home.
Ling Wuye took out two silver notes and said in a generous tone: "These are five hundred taels of silver notes. Two are one thousand taels. They are Longsheng's bank notes. They can be redeemed by all bank accounts across the country. Here we are. Luoyang, you can redeem it at any time."
Look at that expression of being cut off!
Ling Jingshu sneered in her heart and took the banknote with a touched and grateful look on her face: "Father has been so generous to A Xiao, I would like to thank him on A Xiao's behalf."
Intentionally or unintentionally, he emphasized the word "generous" and took another look at the pile of banknotes.
Fifth Master Ling hesitated for a moment, and took out two more banknotes with some heartache: "I don't know how long you siblings will stay in the capital, so it's better to bring more money for self-defense."
Ling Jingshu immediately took the banknote but confiscated it. With a concerned look on his face, he asked Ling Wuye: "Father gave us most of his private money, will it be enough for us in the future?"
The four thin silver notes in Ling Jingshu's hand formed a sharp contrast with the thick silver notes in Ling Wuye's hand. It is really against one's will to say that most of it is private money.
Ling Wuye's face started to heat up again. He gritted his teeth and quickly took out four banknotes and stuffed them into Ling Jingshu's hands. Then he quickly closed the book: "I don't have much use at home. You and your brothers are out and about, so you have to spend money on everything. Take all these!"
A total of four thousand taels of silver notes, this time really squeezed out all the "fatherly love" from Master Ling Wu.
Ling Jingshu was also slightly satisfied, put away all the banknotes, thanked her and left.
...
Fifth Master Ling was still heartbroken over the unreasonable loss of four thousand taels of silver notes. After putting the book back on the bookshelf, he sat alone on the chair feeling heartbroken for a long time.
Soon after hearing the news, Mrs. Li hurriedly knocked on the study door. After opening the door, he couldn't wait to ask: "Master, tomorrow my sister-in-law and the others will leave for Beijing. I just went to my sister-in-law's place. I heard that my sister-in-law said that tomorrow Sister Shu and A Xiao will also go to the capital with them. He said he was looking for a famous doctor to treat A Xiao’s eyes... What’s going on? How come I’ve never heard of it before?”
Probably because she was too shocked and angry, Mrs. Li, who had always been gentle and careless, came to question him angrily.
Mr. Ling Wu was already grieving the huge loss of his private money, and when he heard Li's question again, he felt very unhappy. His face suddenly darkened: "What? Ah Xiao went to the capital to seek medical advice and medicine to treat his eye disease. Are you, a mother, unhappy?"
What Ling Jingshu said before suddenly came to mind. Could it be that, as Ling Jingshu said, Mrs. Li was not happy to see Ling Xiao's eyes cured?
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they quickly take root and sprout.
There was already a hint of suspicion and unkindness in Master Ling's eyes when he looked at Mrs. Li.
Li's expression froze, she reflexively squeezed out a smile, and softened her tone: "Master misunderstood. If A Xiao's eyes can be cured, it will be a great joy. It's too late for me to be happy, so how can I be reluctant. It's just that it's too late to be happy. This incident happened too suddenly. I was unprepared and was stunned for a moment, so my tone was a bit hasty. "
Ling Wuye raised his eyebrows and said lightly "Oh".
The tone of his voice rose, obviously not believing what Li said.
Li was secretly upset.
When she heard this incident just now, she was so shocked that she couldn't care about anything else for a moment, so she just came to question Master Ling. The true face that had been hidden for so long by disguise was almost revealed in front of Lord Ling...
However, this is not her fault.
She never imagined that Ling Jingshu planned to take Ling Xiao to the capital for eye treatment.
If his eyes are really cured, Ling Xiao can start studying again and take the scientific examination. With his talent, he may be able to obtain fame within a few years. His status in the mansion will also get higher and higher, and with the support of Mrs. Ling... won't Ling Huan, who is still young, be suppressed and unable to hold his head up?
What's hateful is that she didn't know about this until today. Tomorrow, Ling Xiao and his sister will leave Dingzhou with the eldest house. Even if she wants to do something, it's too late.
All this must be the work of that stinky girl Ling Jingshu! I don't know how she moved Ling Wuye, and he kept her in the dark...
Thinking of this, Li was so angry that her teeth itched, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.
Li pretended to be wronged and said, "Master, since I married into the Ling family, I have tried my best to treat Xiao and Shujie as my own children. But as a mother, I didn't know anything about Shujie and Xiao going to the capital. I only knew about it when my eldest sister-in-law mentioned it today. At that time, my face was so hot that I had no place to put it. I was sad and upset. In a moment of excitement, I hurried to the study... I didn't expect that the master would misunderstand me because of this. I really feel bad..."
As she spoke, she sobbed and cried.
Li was not particularly beautiful, but she had the charm of a mature woman. At this time, she was sobbing sadly, which made people feel pity.
What's more, Ling Wuye has always been kind-hearted. Seeing Li crying so emotionally, he finally softened his heart and softened his tone: "Okay, I just said it casually, and I didn't really suspect you of anything. Don't cry."
He paused and said, "Only my mother and I know that Shu wants to take Xiao to the capital for treatment. Everyone in the mansion has kept it a secret, and it is not intentional to keep it a secret from you alone. You don't have to worry about it."
It would be strange if it wasn't directed at her!
Li gritted her teeth in her heart, and soon stopped crying. She wiped her tears with her sleeves and forced a smile, saying, "I just hope that the doctor Wei can really cure Xiao's eyes, and it will be worth it for Shujie's hard work to accompany Xiao to the capital from afar."
But she thought viciously in her heart that the blind man would never be cured in this life. It would be best if something unexpected happened on the way, and the two siblings would never come back again.
