The Blessed

Before the court, things were ever-changing. Although Ling Jingxuan could guess some things out, it was impossible for him to know the whole process. After Yan Shengrui and others left, he also got busy with his things. First, things at home. According to the list Yan Yi gave him, whether it was those experienced maids or servants with some minor titles on the list, they were all sent to those yards to do some tough work. In case those people found his motive, he got to be extra careful. In each yard, he had planted some of his trusted servants. As for the main yard they were living in, except Lady Zhang and others he brought with him, he asked Steward Zhu to gather those maids and servants and picked thirty from them. But, still, they could only do things in the front part of the main yard. As for the resting area in the back, except they themselves, Ling Yun and the other two, no one else was allowed to get close, even including Steward Zhu.

When Ling Jingxuan was busy, the little bun also didn'™t stay idle. Ling Wen, like a little adult, supervised the servants doing their jobs, some moving things here and there, some doing the woodworking, some digging holes, what lively scenes, and Ling Wu and Tiewa were comparatively a lot of idler. Their only job was to take wolf daddy and his two sons, and Chubby and Plump to explore everywhere. Of course, wherever they went, it'™d be accompanied with people'™s screams and panic. The small bun was no longer like when in Yuehua Manor. If he met those not behaved servants, with a wave of his hand, Dahei and Xiaohei would growl at them. And the next second, all sounds would disappear neatly, because those people would pass out in horror.

As the whole family was having a busy and touch-and-go day, unexpectedly, a bunch of eunuchs came with the imperial decree from the empress dowager. Having no choice, Ling Jingxuan could only ask the kids to go greet them.

'œOrder from Her Empress Dowager, His Highness Sheng'™s eldest son, Duke Wu and Duke Ling go to the palace!'

In the hall, the eunuch holding a horsetail whisk announced the empress dowager'™s imperial decree with his shriek voice. Ling Jingxuan slightly frowned and asked tentatively, "Please hold on a second. I'™ll go get changed and then go with you.'

Since it was an order from the empress dowager, they had to go. But, the empress dowager only summoned the kids but not him. Did he take it wrong, or'¦

"Please hold on, my crown princess. Her Empress Dowager only summons the eldest son and two little dukes, not you. I will take good care of them. You can rest assured.'

Sure enough, as his words fell, the leading eunuch immediately stopped him. Phoenix eyes squinting'¦Her Empress Dowager was so funny. Only summoned two six years old kids and a newly born baby, but not their daddy. To put it lightly, Her Empress Dowager was telling everyone that the imperial family still hadn'™t admitted his identity. Even if he was already the crown princess, it was only a disfavored one by the imperial family. Even a fool could tell how difficult the road would be in the future. Apparently she tried to isolate him completely. That was only things on the surface. To put it heavily, three kids, the biggest one of whom was only six years old, went into the imperial palace alone, it was as easy as a piece of cake that something happened to them. If so, who would pay for it? Maybe some unlucky eunuchs and maids. What a good plan! Sending someone to announce the imperial decree while Yan Shengrui was away? Did he really think he'™d just give in?

"I can rest assured? How? They are all so young. If something happens, even if you grow a hundred heads, it'™s not enough for me to cut!'

Holding the two little buns in each hand, Ling Jingxuan withdrew the former gentle appearance and gradually revealed his tough side. Anyway, he had already had no dignity to keep. Whether they'™d impose charges like vulgar, or unreasonable or cubbish, he just wouldn'™t give it a sh*t. But trying to calculate his kids? Not a chance!

"You must be kidding, my crown princess. Her Empress Dowager missed her grandson, so she summons them into the palace. Hope you won'™t misunderstand Her Empress Dowager'™s good intention.'

Obviously not expecting him to have such a sharp side, the leading eunuch froze there, but soon resumed his smile and tried to soothe him, in and out of his words was obvious warning. Ling Jingxuan totally didn'™t show him any face, 'œYou must be kidding. I only arrived in the capital yesterday and haven'™t seen my mother-in-law, everyone in the capital knows that, right? How would Her Empress Dowager not know? Since she said she missed us, why not summon me the son-in-law she has never seen before? Or Her Empress Dowager'¦holds some dirty intentions to embarrass me? Or do harm to my kids while I am not around?'

In the end, Ling Jingxuan's lips opened with a sneer of sarcasm. Does she really think she is second to none as she is the empress dowager? Trying to use the imperial authority to force him? Then it still depended on if he'™d like to cooperate.

"How impudent!'

"It is you who are impudent!'

"Pa~"

The leading eunuch was Her Empress Dowager'™s people. Hearing him insult Her Empress Dowager, he snapped without thinking. But Ling Jingxuan was even faster. As his words fell, he already flashed before him and threw a big slap in his face. Ignoring others'™ shock, Ling Jingxuan only said dominantly, 'œHow dare you misbehave in Highness Sheng'™s mansion? Someone! Detain all of them! I highly doubt they are not sent by Her Empress Dowager! Who doesn'™t know Her Empress Dowager is so good-hearted and virtuous? How would she ever issue such an imperial decree that a bad mother-in-law tries to isolate her own daughter-in-law? How dare you to come announce a false imperial decree of Her Empress Dowager? You not only insult me, but also tarnish Her Empress Dowager, and even try to sow discord between me and Her Empress Dowager my mother-in-law! I will never spare you! Someone! Tie them up! After His Highness comes back, I'™ll ask His Highness to decide!'

As the saying goes, before you hit the dog, look at the master. Today he'™d just beat up those dogs of Her Empress Dowager and see what she would do?

'œYes!"
