Chapter 140 Marriage

Just when everyone was thinking about different things, a woman with a stern face followed the maid into the main hall.

This woman was a housekeeper beside the wife of Duke Zhao, surnamed Wang.

After greeting each other, Nanny Wang looked around and her eyes fell on Ling Chu.

"This must be the eldest daughter of your family?"

Ling Chu, who was holding a teacup and looking at the ghost beside Nanny Wang, paused.

Why did she feel that the Nanny's tone contained a hint of contempt?

The naked look also made her feel unhappy.

Just as she was wondering, the lady over there hurriedly responded, "That's right."

"I heard that your eldest daughter was in poor health and was fostered in a Taoist temple since she was a child. I didn't expect that she would become so unruly and frivolous. When she saw the guests, she didn't even know to stand up and greet them."

Ling Chu's face darkened, "May I ask this maid, you are a servant who ran to someone else's house as a guest, and you insulted the host as soon as you opened your mouth. What kind of rules are these?"

Although she was a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, if this maid Wang had a good attitude, she would not mind respecting her because of her age.

But she insulted as soon as she opened her mouth.

This is to treat her as a soft persimmon.

The maid didn't expect Ling Chu to dare to contradict her in front of so many people, and her face suddenly darkened.

"I heard that since the eldest lady returned to Beijing, she has not only been showing up outside every day, but also followed outsiders in and out. She has no rules and etiquette at all, and she acts frivolously. Why do you do such shameless things yourself, and you don't allow anyone to mention it?"

"Madam is so good at catching wind and shadows, making sarcastic remarks on the left and insulting on the right. I want to go to the door and ask the wife of Duke Zhao, is this the rules and etiquette of your Duke Zhao's mansion?"

Seeing that the nanny had a dark face, she wanted to speak again.

Ling Chu used his sleeve to cover his right hand, quickly pinched a seal, and shot at her. At the same time, he kissed the sandalwood lips and silently spit out two words to the ghost behind Nanny Wang, "Kick down."

The ghost was stunned at first, and when he reacted, he was overjoyed.

He raised his leg and kicked Nanny Wang's knee hard.

Plop.

Nanny Wang suddenly knelt down to Ling Chu.

This sudden scene made everyone stunned.

Ling Chu raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "Madam, you know you are wrong and are apologizing to me? There is no need to do such a big thing. Since you are so sincere, I will not bother you. Xia Zhi, help Madam Wang up, or people will accuse your daughter of being unruly."

Madam Wang was stunned for a long time by this sudden kick, and she was shocked and angry when she came to her senses.

Hearing Ling Chu's sarcastic words, she was even more angry, and stood up by herself, gritting her teeth, "No need, I will stand up by myself."

Ling Chu smiled and waved to Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi was originally annoyed when she heard Madam Wang insulting her daughter. The old woman didn't want her to help, and she didn't want to help.

Madam Wang gritted her teeth and stood up with her knees, and her angry eyes immediately glared around.

She was from the Duke Zhao's mansion, who had the guts to kick her?

After looking around, Madam Wang was surprised.

After she entered the flower hall and greeted, she did not sit down immediately, but deliberately stood in the middle of the main hall, wanting Miss Ling to greet her first.

At this time, both the servants and the master were still some distance away from her.

Since there was no one around her, who kicked her from behind just now?

Nanny Wang was suspicious, but suddenly felt another pain in her leg.

Before she could react, she knelt down again with a plop.

Ling Chu raised the corner of his mouth and cast an admiring look at the ghost.

The lady and Dong were all stunned.

Is there something wrong with this nanny's legs?

Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Nanny Wang's blood rushed to her head.

After standing up angrily, Nanny Wang felt something was wrong. Why was this Ling Mansion so weird?

Her eyes swept to the brocade stool on the side, and she was happy and wanted to walk over.

I don't believe that I will be kicked down while sitting.

What no one expected was that Nanny Wang was kicked down for the third time without warning as soon as she made a move.

Nanny Wang, who was kneeling straight in front of Ling Chu, was covered with cold sweat on her forehead.

One was because of knee pain, and the other was because she was scared.

There must be a puppet in this Ling Mansion!

There was no one around her, but she was kicked down three times. She really couldn't think of any other reason except the puppet.

Seeing that the madam and the others were stunned by Nanny Wang's kneeling, Ling Chu put away the smile on his lips and exclaimed with his lips covered.

"Ah, Nanny Wang, although you just said something rude, you don't have to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times. Since you are so sincere in apologizing, I won't ask the wife of Duke Zhao for an explanation."

Seeing that Nanny Wang was scared, Ling Chu was satisfied and secretly waved to the puppet soul, signaling her to stop.

Although Nanny Wang was hateful, Ling Chu didn't want her to be scared to death in Ling Mansion. Otherwise, she would definitely have another bad reputation if it got out.

For the sake of those three kneelings, let her go for now.

Seeing the half-smile on Ling Chu's face, Nanny Wang was almost so angry that she vomited blood.

If she wasn't afraid that there was a puppet soul watching her in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to attack her again, Nanny Wang almost couldn't help but tear off that foxy face.

The lady frowned. Why did Nanny Wang act so hard for her to understand?

When she first came in, she started to curse and her attitude was full of contempt. How could she kneel down three times to apologize after a few words from Chu Jie'er?

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe it.

Although she disliked Ling Chu, she was still not happy about being insulted by Nanny Wang. But now that she had knelt three times, it was difficult to say anything.

She could only order, "Xia Zhi, hurry up and help Nanny Wang up."

Xia Zhi first glanced at Ling Chu, and when she nodded, she reluctantly walked over.

Nanny Wang did not refuse this time. She felt a sharp pain in her knees, and she was afraid that she would be kicked down again. After being helped up by Xia Zhi, she quickly limped to the brocade stool and sat down.

Thinking that she was someone from the Duke of Zhao's mansion, the lady ordered the maid to serve tea to Nanny Wang, and then asked, "I wonder what Nanny is doing here?"

Although Nanny Wang was angry, she had to suppress her anger because of fear and anxiety.

"After hearing that the eldest daughter returned to Beijing, our Duke's wife has been showing up in public every other day. How can this be tolerated? Our Duke's Mansion is not a small family with no rules and etiquette.

Madam Ling, although our wife arranged a marriage between the eldest son and your eldest daughter, our Duke's Mansion cannot let the eldest son marry a girl with a bad reputation as his principal wife, don't you think?"

As soon as these words fell, everyone in the Ling Mansion was shocked.

What does Nanny Wang mean by this?

Did Dong arrange a marriage between Ling Chu and the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao's Mansion?

Ling Chu sneered, and she said that she didn't know the Duke of Zhao's wife at all. Why would she suddenly send a woman to insult her?

It turned out that the two families were getting married!
