Chapter 243: One Came First, Then Came Another

Translator: Vesper

Inhaling a deep breath, Ning Meng Yao quelled the fire in her heart before looking at the man beside her. She said with a smile on her face: “Tian Chang, I’m fine now.”

“Then that’s good to hear.” Qiao Tian Chang finally let out a sigh of relief.

Ming Fang stared at Ling Luo in front of him and opened his mouth, wanting to say something but turned silent in the end.

“If you have something to say, then say it.” Ming Fang had followed him since he was little, how could Ling Luo not understand him?

“Young Master, are we just going to let it be, just like this?” Finding Ning Meng Yao was their only solution right now.

Ning Meng Yao did not agree so even if they found Yu Feng and the rest, there would be nothing to gain.

Ling Luo smiled bitterly. What Ming Fang thought, how could Ling Luo not think of it too? He understood what Ming Fang meant, but... He had angered her so even if he went again, not only would he not be able to speak with her, he might even get chased out.

That was not something they wanted.

“We’ll discuss this later.” Ling Luo spoke faintly, not wanting to talk about it anymore.

Once he returned to the Ling Residence, he saw Xiao Zi Xuan quarreling with his mother.

“Aren’t you supposed to be taking care of the child? How can you not know that he’s having a fever?” Xiao Zi Xuan pointed at the nanny who was carrying the child and shouted angrily.

Ling Luo frowned and took large strides towards them before yelled in fury: “What trouble did you make this time?”

“I’m making trouble? Ling Luo, if not for me, our child might have died from a fever! How can she, as a grandmother, not know that her grandchild is having a fever! You were the one who entrusted our child to her, is this how all of you take care of a child?” Xiao Zi Xuan was mad with anger.

They could not take good care of a child, so they should not be stopping her from taking care of her child.

Ling Luo frowned: “Mother, what exactly happened?”

“Who knows? This was under the servant’s care, what has it got to do with me.” She blamed herself at first when she knew that her grandson was having a high fever, but seeing Xiao Zi Xuan’s high and mighty attitude made her angry and she started to quarrel with Xiao Zi Xuan.

Xiao Zi Xuan’s fists were clenched and she gritted her teeth as she spoke: “Nothing to do with you? Good, then from today on, I will take care of my child. I tell you, unless I agree, don’t you dare think of touching my child. Let us go!”

Xiao Zi Xuan carried the child with a dark and sullen face as she returned to her own courtyard. After returning to her courtyard, she ordered a servant to call the physician. Her heart ached as she sat at the side while waiting in worry.

Marquess Ling was so mad that her face turned green: “Look at her, did you see her attitude? Luo’er, you have to discipline her!”

Ling Luo was also helpless: “Mother, this is indeed your fault. The child is sick, how can you not know?”

Although he did not like Xiao Zi Xuan, but towards the child who resembled him, he still liked him.

Marquess Ling choked and glared at Ling Luo. She said in dissatisfaction: “What do you mean?”

“Mother, the child is just a few months old. Just one mistake and he would be no more.” The child was still small and could die even in the era where he once belonged to, not to mention this place where the medical skills were not as good.

The marquess could not refute Ling Luo’s words and muttered a few words before going quiet. Ling Luo heaved a sigh of relief.

The Ling Residence turned unsettled because of a sick child.

In the Xiao’s Residence, Xiao Yi Lin knitted his brows. His whole face was filled with helplessness and worry.

If the situation were to remain, then something would soon go wrong. No one dared to help him now because they would be suppressed as well if they were to help him.

Helping him would mean going against Tong Bao Zhai. Who would go against Ton Bao Zhai for him? With the exception of people whose brains had issues, there would be no one.

Xiao Yi Lin paced about in his study, his facial expression full of helplessness.

Finally, he could only bring along servants with gifts to the Great General Residence.

Once Qiao Tian Chang and Ning Meng Yao heard that Xiao Yi Lin came, their face turned unsightly. First was Ling Luo, who left, then came Xiao Yi Lin. Just what exactly did was up with them?

Could they be thinking that the trouble caused by the couple was not enough?

With a gloomy face, Qiao Tian Chang opened his mouth: “Let him in.”
