Prince Huaxin's Nominal Wife: Concubine Leng Enchanting

Chapter 196 Reconciliation 2
Yunying always refused to talk to him, Ling Ziluo could only numb herself painfully, and fell into the pain that could not be relieved no matter what.

It was just the opposite when Ming Haoxuan and Ling Yaoyao had an awkward dispute. At that time, Ming Haoxuan would insist on returning to the palace early as long as there was no special matter.

But Ling Ziluo was different, he started to go out early and return late, he hardly ate at home, got drunk every day, and only came back from shopping in the middle of the night.

Because the General's Mansion is not as simple as Prince Jing's Mansion, there are only Yaoyao and her husband in the Palace, but there are too many other people in the General's Mansion.

When Ling Ziluo came back, he not only had to accept Yunying's indifference, but also faced General Ling's concerned inquiries, Mrs. Ling's nagging advice, and Hongxiang's affectionate care... All of these were inseparable. It annoyed Ling Ziluo and made him even more upset. He would rather not see anyone.So, simply rarely stay at home.

The son and his wife had conflicts and separated completely. Madam Ling knew what was going on in her heart.

At first, she was very disturbed, because all this was caused by her telling the disgraceful thing about Yun Ying and the prince.Especially when she saw her son so depressed and decadent, she was really anxious and distressed, and she also talked to Yun Ying several times.But Yun Ying was also in a daze when she saw Madam Ling now, as if she was wandering in the sky, she couldn't say anything for a long time.

The daughter-in-law's attitude of not caring about anything and being dumbfounded all day long made Madam Ling even more angry.After thinking about it, this is fine, the son and daughter-in-law are cold now, and they don't even live together anymore.He just took this opportunity to let his son and Hongxiang get along well, so that he could hug his grandson as soon as possible.

Although she had such a plan in her heart, Mrs. Ling did not dare to tell her son so directly.Because every time she brought up this matter, Ling Ziluo would lose his temper, saying that he was already bored enough in his heart, and told them not to add trouble.

Mrs. Ling was anxious, angry and sad, but she never gave up the idea of ​​letting Ling Ziluo marry Hongxiang.I just thought that my son had just had a falling out with his wife, and he was in a bad mood. After a while, he might be able to accept Hongxiang slowly when he calms down.Therefore, she has been arranging for Hongxiang to approach Ling Ziluo whenever she has the opportunity, and ask her to take care of Ling Ziluo more.

Hongxiang originally had her heart tied to Ling Ziluo, but Ling Ziluo only had Yun Ying in her eyes before, which made her very disappointed.Seeing that Yunying and Ling Ziluo were already at a standstill, and she had Madam Ling's direct instruction, she was naturally happy.Every day, Brother Ziluo shouted sweetly, and whenever he had the opportunity, he would come to his side to greet him, showing the tenderness and consideration of a woman.

Although Yun Ying seldom came out, she saw all these things in her eyes, knowing that it was only a matter of time before Ling Ziluo married Hongxiang.

Her heart became colder, and she became more indifferent to everything around her.She accepts everything, and never takes the initiative to fight for or change anything for her own destiny.So, now, she didn't think about catching or saving anything, and felt that she was just a body without thinking, barely muddling along.

Now, everyone in Ling's mansion has their own concerns, and the atmosphere is oppressive.General Ling was angry, Mrs. Ling was worried, Ling Ziluo was heartbroken, Yunying was disheartened, and Hongxiang was both looking forward and anxious.The whole big family is no longer happy and peaceful as before.

Although Ling Yaoyao is thinking about her mother's family, she wonders how her elder brother and Yun Ying are doing now?What happened to parents?She wanted to go home more than once to have a look, but she felt that seeing Yun Ying would be very embarrassing now, yes, what are you talking about?

She didn't blame Yunying, Ling Yaoyao had always been a defender of feminism, if she wanted to blame her, she would only blame her husband.However, it seems that she can't do it now, let her have a heart-to-heart talk with Yun Ying like before.

Forget it, let's wait until the time has passed and everyone's shadow of this matter has faded away.Therefore, she also buried the idea of ​​going back to see it in her heart, and never went back to her mother's house.

And the general's mansion has always been so dull, depressing, and deserted.

This night, it was still late as usual, and Ling Ziluo hadn't come back for a long time.

General Ling went to the study, and Yun Ying locked herself in her room.In the hall, only Mrs. Ling and Hongxiang were left, chatting and waiting for Ling Ziluo.

After chatting casually for a while, Madam Ling sighed and said, "Oh, Hongxiang, you and Ziluo can't go on like this forever."

"Mother, it's my fault. I haven't been able to make Brother Ziluo like me." Hongxiang said softly, also full of disappointment.

"Don't say that, what's wrong with you? You're good enough. Mother likes you so much when she sees you. It's because Ziluo is too stubborn, and that... oh, don't talk about it, my chest hurts when I talk about it " Madam Ling said, sighed again, and did not continue.

She originally wanted to say that Ziluo was fascinated by that unruly vixen, but after thinking about it, she finally held back this ugly sentence and did not say it.

Mrs. Ling dislikes Yunying more and more now.Think about it, it's obvious that she herself did something scandalous, and she can't have children, but now it's like her son is sorry for her.All day long, he looked absent-minded and refused to let Ziluo go back to his room to sleep.How could this kind of shameless and ignorant woman be married by their Ling family?Alas, what a family misfortune...

If it wasn't for the fear of her son losing her temper, Mrs. Ling would have long wanted to call the shots and say that Yunying should be divorced.However, his son is the biggest fool in the world, he has been hurt like this by that woman, but he still doesn't want to part with her.Alas, the more I think about it, the more upset I become, and the more I think about it, the more I feel suffocated.

"Mother, don't be angry, I will take good care of Brother Ziluo." Seeing Mrs. Ling's anxious face, Hongxiang stood up obediently and said while helping Mrs. Ling rub her shoulders.

"Hongxiang, you are such a good boy. Now that Yaoyao is married, luckily you are by my mother's side." Madam Ling said gratifiedly, and took Hongxiang's hand to let her sit down: "Come on, sit here, Ma'am tell you something."

"Mother, tell me." Hong Xiang sat down next to Madam Ling and said.

"Hongxiang, you and Ziluo should have settled things a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now, and he doesn't leave the house every day. Mother is really upset. Alas, Ziluo's stubborn temper, now it seems, There is only one way." Madam Ling said with a heavy heart.

"Mother, what can I do?" Hong Xiang asked.

An ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of Madam Ling's mouth, she leaned over to Hong Xiang's ear, and whispered a few words.

"Ah? Mother, this can't be done, in case Brother Luo..." After hearing this, Hong Xiang's face flushed red, and she couldn't continue speaking.

"Silly boy, what's wrong with this? When I brought you here, I gave your family a formal bride price. You should have consummated the house a long time ago." Madam Ling smiled and said confidently: "Hongxiang , I know Ziluo's temperament best, as long as the raw rice is cooked into cooked rice, he will treat you well."

"But...he seems to only like Sister Yunying, I'm afraid..." Hongxiang said hesitantly, her articulation was no longer as sharp as usual.

"What are you afraid of? It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. He just likes Yunying. What would you do if you have one more? Besides, you didn't see that he and Yunying haven't even spoken for a few days. " Madam Ling said with a straight face.

The two were talking when they suddenly heard a burst of messy footsteps walking in.

It was Ling Ziluo who came back, still so drunk that he couldn't even walk unsteadily.

"Ziluo, you drink so much again. How can you bear it like this? Oh, can't you not drink?" Mrs. Ling saw her son coming back reeking of alcohol, and could not help but blame her with distress and dissatisfaction. He said, and gave Hongxiang a wink at the same time.

Hongxiang hurried over to support Ling Ziluo, and said softly, "Brother Ziluo, I'll help you."

"No, I can walk by myself." Ling Ziluo pushed her away with a wave of his arms, raised his red eyes and scanned the entire hall.

Still the same as usual, there are only his mother and Hongxiang here.There will never be the figure he wants to see, Yunying, she will never be here waiting for him to go home.

What's ridiculous is that every time he came back, he still imagined that she would sit here or stand by the door.Seeing him come back, she would smile softly and say, Ziluo, you are back.

Unfortunately, fantasies are always just fantasies.

He didn't even look carefully at what Yun Ying looked like now.So much tenderness, sweetness, and laughter in the past seemed to be easily erased by her with that slap.She doesn't want to see him, doesn't want to talk to him, let alone wait for him to come back at home...

Ling Ziluo smiled wryly at himself, and said to Mrs. Ling, "Mother, I'm going to bed." Then he stumbled out of the hall.

Seeing Ling Ziluo staggering away, Madam Ling said with red eyes: "Oh, Ziluo will be ruined sooner or later. Our Ling family, what evil did we do?"

"Mother, when brother Ziluo sobers up, I'll try to persuade him." Hong Xiang comforted Mrs. Ling.

Seeing Ling Ziluo's appearance, she also felt uncomfortable.

"What are you waiting for when he's sober? You go over tonight and stay with him well. If the two of you are really married, mother will feel at ease." Madam Ling said without a doubt.

"Mom..." Hongxiang called out softly, and lowered her head a little uneasy.

"Hongxiang, tell mother the truth, do you like Ziluo?" Madam Ling looked at Hongxiang and asked gently.

"Well, I like Big Brother Ziluo." Hongxiang nodded without thinking.

"Hehe, that's fine." Madam Ling finally showed a comfortable smile on her face, and said cordially: "Hongxiang, it may be a little wronged for you to follow Ziluo like this, but in the hearts of father and mother, I have long regarded you as the daughter-in-law of the Ling family. You two will consummate the house sooner or later, so there is nothing to be shy about. Tonight, you will go to his place. "

"But, mother, what if brother Luo..." Hong Xiang was conflicted and hesitant, not knowing what to say.

Although she really likes Ling Ziluo very much, she also really wants to become his woman sooner.But, after all, she is a little girl who has never experienced anything between men and women. She really lacks the courage to take off her clothes and sleep next to a man.

"Son, you saw it too, Yunying and the others have been ill for a long time. He was drunk again, and the room was dark with the lights off. He might not even be able to tell who you are. You go, there is no need to say anything, everything will come to fruition." Mrs. Ling smiled and pointed her, walked over and took her hand: "Come on, you go back and pack up, and then go to your elder brother Ziluo Go. When the two of you really get together, everything will be fine. Don't worry, Ziluo is a conscientious boy, and he won't treat you badly."

"Well, mother, I'll listen to you." Hongxiang finally made up her mind, and she will work hard to fight for her own happiness.

The two said, and walked out of the hall together.

Ling Ziluo walked up and down to his room. He now lives in a room not far from the house where he and Yun Ying lived.

Every time he came back, he would subconsciously take a few glances at the house that had left countless sweetness and joy between him and Yunying.There, it was generally pitch black and the lights were never on.He came back late, Yun Ying must have gone to bed early.

But today, when he walked past the room that made him nostalgic and heartbroken, and raised his eyes to look there again, he was surprised to find that the light in Yunying's room was still on.

Yunying is not asleep now, is it possible?It's so late, what is she doing?She... Will she not be angry with him anymore?Ling Ziluo's heart skipped a beat, as if there was a long-lost tenderness surging in his chest.Unknowingly, he raised his foot and walked in the direction of the light.

Standing in front of the closed door, Ling Ziluo's heart was turbulent, and all kinds of inexplicable bitter and sour tastes surged in an instant.

Although he drank too much, but in his heart, he was still clearer than ever.

Here, there have been many happy and sweet footprints of him.But at this moment, he could only stand outside the gate hesitantly and sadly like a strange guest.

This door was never locked before he came back.And now, every time he walked through here, the door was locked tightly.Yun Ying has completely locked him out of her world.

Ling Ziluo hesitated for a moment, raised his hand, and knocked lightly on the door a few times.

"Who?" Yun Ying's delicate voice came from inside, sounding a little tired.

Ling Ziluo didn't speak, but continued to knock on the door persistently.

"Who is it?" Yun Ying raised her voice and asked again.

"Yunying, it's me." Ling Ziluo said in a low voice, her voice slightly hoarse.

The room suddenly fell silent, the lights went out suddenly, and there was no more sound.
