FSC [QT] Chapter 114.1

Ah Wu stood still until she could no longer see Yan Yu’s back. Then, she hung the purse back to her neck and straightened her collar.

At this moment, she stood with her back to the light, her upper eyelids facing down, and her thick and long eyelashes cast a shadow on her cheeks, making it difficult to see her expression.

After standing for a long time, Ah Wu walked toward the direction of the Palace of Peace and Harmony.

“Where did you go by yourself? Don’t be stupid and drag down the Marquis’s Mansion and your parents.”

When there was still a distance from the Palace of Peace and Harmony, Ling Zhuo walked toward her with anger and momentum.

Just now, she clearly told Ling Wu not to be alone and not to run around in the palace, but the other party ran away as soon as she told her.

God knows how panicked Ling Zhuo was when she found out that Ling Wu had disappeared.

This trip to the palace was full of dangers. Not to mention other competitors, there were some sisters in their family who had evil intentions.

Ling Zhuo was not stupid. She realized this as early as when her personal maid Qiao Xin started to whisper in her ears about her parents’ favoritism, Ling Wu’s appearance taking her place, and other similar provocative topics.

The other party said so much, and it seemed that she just wanted to stir up her dissatisfaction with Ling Wu.

During such a sensitive period when the Third Princess was choosing a study companion, Ling Zhuo quickly realized that someone wanted to see the sisters fighting each other so that they could reap the benefits.

However, there were only a few people in the Marquis’ Mansion who would do this and have the ability to bribe Qiao Xin.

Ling Zhuo was somewhat fortunate.

She felt fortunate that she had left those people with the image of a spoiled and willful person for the past eleven years.

She also felt fortunate that those people whispered to her, which was completely exposing Qiao Xin, the traitorous servant.

Because she was worried that those people would come up with another plan if their first plan failed, Ling Zhuo had been acting like a savage and resentful person in front of Qiao Xin these days, just as they wished.

But even so, she couldn’t guarantee that those people didn’t have any tricks up their sleeves.

Ling Wu had been a country girl for eleven years. Although she was somewhat smart, she might not understand the intricate thoughts of the women in the backyards of the deep mansions. She also didn’t know how cruel those people could be.

If she was framed in the palace, it would not only harm herself, but it would also drag down other people in the Marquis’s mansion.

Ling Zhuo’s attitude toward this girl who had exchanged identities with her for eleven years was still contradictory. She felt a little guilty and jealous.

At this moment, she was more worried about the Marquis’ Mansion and her parents, so her words could not help but sound a little aggressive.

“I lost something on the way here. I just went to look for it.”

Ah Wu could tell good from bad. Although Ling Zhuo’s words were a bit harsh, her intention was good.

“What is so important?”

Ling Zhu frowned, still with a bit of dissatisfaction.

“It’s very important. My brother left it to me.”

After that, Ah Wu walked around Ling Zhu and prepared to go back to her room.

“Brother…”

Ling Zhuo wanted to say that even if it was a gift from the Eldest Brother, there was no need to take risks in the palace.

But she soon realized that the brother Ling Wu was referring to was not Ling Zihuai, the eldest son of the Marquis of Changping, but her own biological brother whom she had never met.

“No news yet?”

Ling Zhu had always been reluctant to admit her true identity and had no feelings for the brother who only lived in Ling Wu’s oral story.

But after all, they were blood brothers and sisters. If nothing unexpected happened, he was her only blood relative, so Ling Zhu couldn’t help asking.

She thought that Ling Wu liked that brother so much, so she should have asked her parents to find the boy who sold himself as soon as she returned to the Marquis’ Mansion.

“Which pawnshop or family did he sell himself to? There must be someone who knows about it. Even if he changed hands in the past few years, it should be easy to find out. I am afraid there will be news soon.”

Seeing that Ah Wu did not answer, Ling Zhuo realized that she probably had not found any news yet. After a moment of silence, Ling Zhuo comforted Ling Wu dryly.

“That… that…”

Ling Zhuo used to be jealous of Ling Zihuai, her ‘real brother’, and could not tolerate his parents valuing Ling Zihuai more than herself. So, how close could she feel to Yu Yan, a brother she had never met?

At this moment, she really couldn’t call him brother.

“When we find that person, don’t worry, I won’t compete with you.”

So, please give her some of your parent’s love.

Ling Zhuo did not say the second half of the sentence directly.

For Ling Wu, the status of that brother was special, and it was the same for Ling Zhuo.

Since she could remember, she was the treasure of her parents.

When Ling Zhuo was young, she often fell ill and had to drink bitter medicine. At that time, her mother, Mrs. Fan, held her and coaxed her to take the medicine with kind words. At night, Ling Zhuo also needed her mother to hum nursery rhymes before she could fall asleep.

Even her father, who was busy with official duties, was particularly fond of her and would accompany her for meals whenever he had a day off.

Mrs. Fan and Ling Yaodong occupied all of Ling Zhuo’s most vulnerable time.
