Chapter 682 Processing
Ling Silang was still thinking about how to explain when Xu Tingting quickly said, "You've gone to the wrong place, you've gone to the wrong place. People are staying over there now."
Ling Silang immediately agreed, saying, "I went to the wrong place."
"You never come to the Xu residence, so you wouldn't know. It's a good thing you didn't push the door open; perhaps the people inside were startled by the sound of someone outside."
"Hmm." Ling Silang appeared calm on the surface, but was actually a little flustered inside. If he hadn't been thinking of taking Xiao Ba over and placing her next to Ling Sanlang, Xiao Ba wouldn't have seen this scene.
If he goes back and tells his third sister-in-law, then his third brother's family... will be in grave danger.
Xu Tingting appeared calm, but she was extremely anxious inside. All she could do now was take the child away, and she believed that Ling Silang could handle the matter.
"Let's go, your sister will take you out to play."
"it is good."
The woman in the room woke up when Ling Silang closed the door. In other words, she hadn't slept at all and had been waiting for this moment, hearing them coaxing the child to leave.
She made her decision in a moment. This child was Ling Sanlang's child. If the child knew, he would definitely go back and tell his mother. Then, her marriage into the family would be basically settled.
So when the child was about to leave, she deliberately shouted, startling the people outside and waking up Ling Sanlang in bed.
Hearing that Xu Tingting was going to take the person away, she became anxious and hurriedly got out of bed, trying to run outside. However, Ling Sanlang, who was unable to move easily, immediately covered her mouth with one hand.
She cannot be moved.
Ling Silang watched as Xu Tingting took the woman away, then turned and went into the room with a dark face. He saw Ling Sanlang covering the woman's mouth with one hand. The woman struggled to escape, but Ling Sanlang was determined, and the woman had no chance at all.
Ling Silang entered the room and things quieted down. Ling Sanlang's grip was still very strong, but the woman gradually stopped struggling.
"Third Brother, let go, Little Eight is leaving."
Ling Sanlang's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat. After releasing the woman, he asked, "Why did you appear in my room?"
Previously, Ling Sanlang stayed in Xu Dazhuang's room for the convenience of taking care of him. However, Ling Sanlang was a rough man, and being taken care of by Xu Dazhuang made him feel like a child who couldn't take care of himself, which made him very uncomfortable.
Finally, after repeated requests, Xu Dazhuang wanted to give his room to Ling Sanlang so he could find a guest room to sleep in, but Ling Sanlang disagreed, and in the end Ling Sanlang moved to the guest room.
After Attorney Xu took care of Ling Sanlang that night, Ling Sanlang went to sleep by himself until the next morning.
These past two days, Ling Sanlang has been able to sit up, but he still can't move. Xu Dazhuang still wants to take good care of him, but Ling Sanlang can see that the servants in the Xu family who do needlework are bothering him, so he wants to ask to go home.
Xu Dazhuang had no choice but to ask Du Mingxian, fearing he wasn't serving her well enough. So he asked Wang Fu to inquire. After Wang Fu asked Du Mingxian, she said she respected Ling Sanlang's opinion.
Xu Dazhuang went out early this morning to find a carriage. Ling Sanlang wanted to go home, but an ordinary carriage wouldn't do; the carriage needed to be properly tidied up before he could go back.
So... he went out, entrusting the task of taking care of Ling Sanlang to Wang Fu before leaving.
Wang Fu remembered it, and when he heard Ling Silang knocking on the door and heard a lot of noise on the street outside, he wanted to go and see. When he opened the door, Ling Silang said that he was going to take care of Ling Sanlang and told him to go and do his own thing.
And so... Ling Shilang witnessed this scene with his own eyes.
The woman slumped to the ground, not saying a word, just crying incessantly, clutching her slightly disheveled collar as if she had suffered a great injustice and was in great distress.
Seeing her like this, Ling Silang didn't rush to ask anything. Instead, he stepped forward and asked Ling Sanlang, "Third Brother, is anything wrong?"
He asked about her health; he had forcefully covered the woman's mouth earlier, and he wondered if her injury had been aggravated, if her leg had been touched, and if it hurt.
As a result, Ling Sanlang misunderstood and was immediately on the verge of tears. "Silang, you don't believe me either? I'm already injured like this, what else can I do? There's nothing between us."
Ling Silang found it amusing. "I'm asking if you aggravated your injury when you pulled her so hard just now."
"No, I don't feel unwell right now, I just feel upset. You absolutely mustn't let your sister-in-law know about what happened today. If she finds out... there will be a rift between us for the rest of our lives."
"Don't worry." Ling Silang wasn't worried at all. After all, these people were all servants, and the death contracts were in their hands. Even if they were killed directly, no one would say anything.
Hearing Ling Silang's words, the woman felt a chill run down her spine and became somewhat frightened. She looked up, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Fourth Master Ling, I really only admire Third Master. Between us... there's only a little physical intimacy. I can be a concubine, I can be a concubine."
"Shut up, stop talking nonsense. What physical intimacy? There's nothing between us." Ling Sanlang immediately became agitated.
Seeing him like this, Ling Silang stepped forward to comfort him, "Third brother, don't worry, you lie down first, I'll handle this matter."
He turned and went out, called over two other servants, and locked the woman directly in the woodshed, as if nothing had happened. Ling Silang carefully examined Ling Sanlang.
"Your health is recovering quite well, but it's not time to move around yet. It would be best if you could stay at the Xu family's place for a while longer."
Ling Sanlang shook his head vigorously. He didn't want the same thing to happen again. Today it was Xiao Ba, and the child left after being coaxed. But what if his wife came next time?
It will be even more troublesome if we can't explain it clearly then.
"Let me go back. I'm not afraid of a hard journey. Besides, it's not far from the county to my home. It's not good for me to stay at the Xu family's house all the time."
"Third Brother, my suggestion is that you stay a few more days, at least ten days. As long as you travel slowly on the road after ten days, your body can handle the bumps in the carriage. If you go back now, you might not be able to handle the bumps on the road."
Although the dirt road had been compacted, it was still uneven, and the carriage still experienced a bumpy ride.
"Third Brother, if you don't want to walk with a limp in the future, you'd better not gamble on that tiny impossibility. What if... what if something happens? What will you do then?"
Ling Sanlang was in a dilemma; he really didn't want to stay any longer.
He was doing well at the Xu family's house; everyone there treated him well. But even if it was nice, it wasn't his own home, and with the added issue of a woman, he simply couldn't stay any longer.
What if he wakes up tomorrow and another woman appears next to him? Will he even be able to live?
His wife works hard for him every day. If he dares to do anything to betray her, he would want to die himself, without his wife even having to lift a finger.
