In front of the sick bed, in front of everyone, He Yuting sincerely requested Ling Yun to stay in the Marquis's house and start everything from scratch.
Ling Yun thought about it and hesitated for a moment.
Princess Chang Qing's eyes were red and she was filled with tears as she said, "Lin'er, please promise your father!"
He Chengqi on the side also lost his temper and gently pulled Ling Yun.
He Luwei even echoed: "Yes, eldest son, we have been looking forward to this day!"
Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Ling Yun's wandering heart finally stopped hesitating.
He turned around and looked at the people around him with a harmonious look, and his originally confused and empty eyes became clear and firm. He nodded vigorously.
Before, Princess Chang Qing had been watching every subtle change of expression on Ling Yun's face, feeling anxious and nervous.
She was really afraid that her son would say "no" again. Seeing Ling Yun finally nodding in agreement, her hanging heart finally returned to her stomach.
She let out a long breath, her eyes as clear as blue waves filled with a touch of tenderness, and the curve of her mouth was as perfect as a crescent moon, "Great! Lin'er, your father's misfortune turned into good fortune this time, and now he has become auspicious. You guys have cleared up all your old grudges again, so we should really celebrate!"
As she said that, she turned to He Luwei and said: "Steward, please check the almanac and choose a good and auspicious day. When the time comes, we will hold a grand banquet and entertain the civil and military officials of the court. We will definitely make this scene a success!"
He Luwei smiled slightly and said repeatedly: "Yes, I will do it now!"
He Luwei was really fast in doing things, and he quickly selected a good and auspicious day; and under his auspices, almost all the civil and military officials of the court were invited to this day.
Ding Jinzhi, Prince Jinling, Lu Wenzheng... including Li Zhishan, the commander of the inner bodyguards, and his four great bodyguards Yuan Chao, Zhao Ying, Sun Guoxiong, Liu Yujie and others all came to the Marquis's Mansion with a happy face.
Congratulations to He Yuting for turning danger into good fortune and regaining a new life. At that time, the hall was full of guests, laughing and drinking, and it was very lively.
Ling Yun hated this noisy social situation. He just felt dizzy and annoyed, so he took a look at an opening and hid for some air.
He wandered aimlessly among the pavilions, bridges and flowing water.
The scenery along the way is patchwork and varied, and the beauty reveals a hint of warmth and familiarity.
Looking east, he turned and passed through a corridor at the back. There were several maids standing in the corridor with their hands lowered and respectfully waiting. When they saw him coming, they hurriedly bowed their eyebrows and saluted him.
Ling Yun waved his hand casually and continued to look forward.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps in front, and a man in civilian attire walked towards this side, and happened to meet him opposite.
As he approached Ling Yun, he suddenly realized that the visitor was Lu Wenzheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who had not been seen for a long time. Mr. Lu, who had been with him for ten years and had been kind to him!
I couldn't help but stay there for a while.
Lu Wenzheng went out to change clothes and didn't want to meet Ling Yun here when he came back.
He stopped suddenly, his eyes were a little dazed and confused, he raised his head and looked directly into the other person's eyes in disbelief, and after a long while he said: "Zhichao?...How could it be you?..."
After not seeing each other for several years, Ling Yun suddenly discovered that Lu Wenzheng was much older and haggard, and had a lot of silver hair on his head. The original dignified, majestic, and calm temperament had almost disappeared. The person standing in front of him seemed to be just a weather-beaten man. , a dying old man.
The passing of time and the passing of time have left such profound marks on his face and heart, and it was only a short five years, just a snap of a finger...
Ling Yun looked at him with dense eyes, and there was an indescribable emotion in his heart, and he said in a thick voice: "Sir, you have changed a lot than before..."
Lu Wenzheng sighed heavily and said with a bit of self-deprecation: "Are you getting older? Yes, so many years have passed and so many things have happened, how can you not get older?"
As he spoke, he looked Ling Yun up and down, "You haven't changed much. How have you been these past years?"
Ling Yun sighed lightly and said nothing.
Lu Wenzheng asked: "By the way, Zhichao, why are you here?"
Just as Ling Yun was about to answer, he suddenly saw a young man in gorgeous clothes hurried over. When he saw him, he said, "Brother, why are you here? I have found you, and my mother is calling you over in a hurry!"
The person who came was none other than He Chengqi.
At this time, He Chengqi also saw Lu Wenzheng and said hello to him quickly, "It turns out that Mr. Lu is here too, let's sit down together!"
Although He Chengqi's voice was not loud, when it reached Lu Wenzheng's ears, it was like a thunderous explosion, and his reason was blown to pieces by his words.
He looked at He Chengqi in surprise, then turned to look at Ling Yun beside him, and stammered: "Second Young Master, you...you call him eldest brother? Could it be..."
He Chengqi frowned, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but cursed: "This Mr. Lu is really using history as news. How long have you been talking about this? He still doesn't know, Mr. Lu's Isn’t the information too well-informed?”
"Yes, this is my eldest brother." He tilted his head and raised his eyebrows with a smile, a nonchalant look on his face.
Because there was indeed a rush ahead, He Chengqi had no intention of saying much. He scrawled a few perfunctory words with Lu Wenzheng, and then turned to Ling Yun, "Oh, brother, you see that your father and mother are waiting impatiently in front. Let's go quickly!"
As he said this, he refused to say anything and pulled Ling Yun forward angrily...
But when Princess Chang Qing saw that Ling Yun had finally arrived with He Chengqi, Lu Wenzheng and others, a happy smile appeared on her originally gloomy face.
She grabbed Ling Yun and kept complaining that he shouldn't have run away before the battle, which made her send people to look for him for a long time out of worry.
Lu Wenzheng hesitated slightly. He considered his words and said carefully: "Princess, please forgive me for being so abrupt. I dare to ask Zhichao... who he is..."
Princess Chang Qing raised her eyebrows, with a sweet smile on her face, like a blooming peony, "By the way, I forgot to introduce you to Master Lu. Zhichao is my long-lost son He Chenglin! "
Her voice was clear and sweet, with the hint of morning drunkenness, and almost every word was clearly heard in the ears of everyone present.
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked. Everyone was whispering and discussing, feeling that the news was so unexpected. For a moment, there was a sigh of relief in the hall.
Ling Yun heard Princess Chang Qing speaking out about the incident and it was too late to stop her.
He didn't expect that his mother would announce his identity in such a high-profile manner in public, and he was a little at a loss for a moment. But in front of everyone, he couldn't explain or argue, so he had to let things develop.
At this time, Ding Jinzhi had already walked tremblingly to He Yuting.
Ding Jinzhi looked straight at He Yuting with his obscure eyes, and said in a tight voice: "Brother He, Ling Yun...ah, Zhichao...is he really the master?"
He Yuting nodded decisively and said, "Not bad!"
Ding Jinzhi froze on the spot as if turned to stone. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his expression changed, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his originally deep eyes, "That's great! I would like to congratulate Brother He on the double happiness: with this joy, Brother He will turn his bad luck into good luck, and he will have a future." Blessing; two blessings, brother He and his family are reunited and enjoy family harmony!"
As soon as these words came out, congratulations immediately sounded in the hall.
Princess Chang Qing was naturally happy and had a spring breeze on her face; Ling Yun was in a complicated mood and couldn't cheer up at all.
Lu Wenzheng on the side had a special feeling in his heart.
Although he subconsciously told himself over and over again that he must be calm and calm-but at this moment, it was as if his mind had been usurped. He could not calm down his surging heart, and felt that his mind was in chaos. It was like a ball of numbness, and I was a little confused for a moment.
Finally he spoke with melancholy, "Although Lv knew a little bit about what happened in the past, he never expected that the protagonist of this matter was actually a person from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment, who was once my subordinate, Lu Wenzheng! …
"Zhichao, no, now I should call you the eldest son of the Houye Mansion. You have been working for Lv Mou for so many years, and you have done your duty so well that it has moved Lv Mou. Now that I think about it, I just feel restless!"
Ling Yun's heart surged, and his voice trembled as he said, "Sir, please don't say that..."
But Li Zhishan, the commander of the Ouchi guards, was watching the scenes going on in front of him with cold eyes, his face remained calm, but he secretly complained in his heart:
"Why do you think Ling Yun's life is so good? If he stopped serving as the bodyguard commander of Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice, he could still be his Xiaoyao County Horse Lord; if he stopped serving as the Commandery Horse Lord, he can now leisurely start his job. The eldest son of the Marquis Mansion—how come such good things happen one after another, and he has to catch up with them all!..."
With his mind spinning, Ling Yun was toasting in the hall and walked to his table without realizing it.
When Ling Yun's clear eyes collided with Li Zhishan's twinkling eyes, their faces were frozen for a moment.
Li Zhishan frowned slightly, raised the corners of his lips and said, "I don't know how I should call you now, Commander Ling, Commander Ma Ye, or Eldest Young Master?"
Ling Yun looked indifferent, as if he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and said in a cold tone: "Whatever you want."
A narrow smile appeared on Li Zhishan's face, and he said slowly: "I think it would be more appropriate for me to call you eldest son! I, eldest son, you are truly a legend! Your martial arts are legendary, your experiences are legendary, and your life experience is also legendary!"
"Eldest Young Master, although there were some disputes between you and me, it was for the sake of public rather than selfishness. Who doesn't know that the current Eldest Young Master of the Marquis Mansion, the former Commander Ling, is informal and open-minded - I guess. You don’t care about these trivial things, do you?”
