Back at Pinlan Garden, Lingâer came out to greet her, still acting submissive: âMiss, the food is ready for you . â
Yu Linglong glanced at Lingâer and entered the room .
Xuan Cao helped Yu Linglong wash her face . While Yu Linglong wiped her hands with her kerchief, she said, âShow her that thing . â
Xuan Cao answered: âYes . â She took out a squarely folded piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Lingâer .
Lingâer took the paper with a confused expression, opened it, and instantly changed her face .
She raised her head abruptly, her dark eyes projecting a bright light that she hadnât shown in a long time . She looked confused and excitedly at Yu Linglong: âMissââ
This piece of paper was shockingly a contract for her brother Fu Yongâer!
Yu Linglong threw her veil into the copper basin, and said lightly: âI bought him, but I didnât free him . From now on, he will be my slave . â
The brilliance in Lingâerâs eyes faded a bit, but she was still very grateful: âI thank you for Yongâer . From now on, Yongâer and I will do our best to serve the lady . â
Although they were also slaves, after all, the siblings didnât need to be separated anymore, and it was much better than before .
Yu Linglong said coldly: âDonât expect me to let him enter the Yu Mansion . Itâs not easy for you to see him occasionally . â
Lingâerâs face changed slightly and her little excitement disappeared . She hesitated and asked: âThen...then, may I ask, where is Yongâer now?â
Yu Linglong got up and walked to the dining table, and said, âI let him go to Shangwu Academy . What he can learn depends on his good fortune . â
Tears of gratitude burst into Lingâerâs eyes . Shangwu Academy was a famous martial arts hall in the capital . It has trained many people with superb martial arts skills . It was difficult for ordinary people to get into the Shangwu Academy to practice martial arts . It was conceivable that Yu Linglong must have spent a lot of silver .
This situation was a far cry from being a slave to a horse boy before!
She knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to Yu Linglong, and said with tears, âThank you, missus, thank you, missus!â
Yu Linglong picked up the chopsticks and said coldly: âDonât be grateful to me . Itâs not for you, itâs for myself . â
She asked Ma Changgeng to go to see this Fu Yongâer first, and when she saw that the boy had a good aptitude, she decided to buy him .
Ancient times were no better than modern times . If you want to cultivate your own power, you have to adapt to ancient ways .
Lingâerâs small face still had tears, but she already showed a content smile: âAs long as I know that Yongâer is fine, Iâm satisfied . â
Yu Linglong was silent for a moment, and said, âMingâer will let you take a day off . Go out and relax . â
Lingâer was choked with gratitude . She stood up in silence, wiped away tears, and stepped forward to pick up the chopsticks: âMiss, I will help you prepare the dishes . â
She said that she was taking the day off, but she was actually allowing her to visit her brother in Shangwu Academy . The young lady was cold on the surface, but she was actually a delicate person with a cold face and a warm heart .

...
Yu Linglong anticipated that Lord Xu might act, but she didnât expect that guy would come so fast and so blatant .
Early that morning, Mama Cui arrived at Pinlan Garden with a humble and respectful smile on her face: âReporting to the Fourth Lady, Lord Xu is here, and wants to invite Miss to go out for a chat . â
Yu Linglong frowned as soon as she heard the name of Lord Xu: âChat about what? I wonât go!â
Mama Cui choked and turned pale, but she barely held up a smile: âThe Lady said, beg the fourth lady to take care of...well, take care of your surname Yu . Please help the Yu house with this!â
Mu Shi naturally knew that Yu Linglong would never go out because of her and General Yuâs reputation, but not asking her to come out was not a way, Lord Xu was not so easy to please!
Mama Cui was still pleading with Yu Linglong in the backyard, and in the living room in the front was Lord Xu, waiting impatiently .
âEvery time the lord comes, the people in the Yu Mansion always make all sorts of excuses . They put on such big airs!â
Lord Xu, who could keep his smile on his face while being slapped by Yu Linglong, didnât have such a good temper in front of others .
The butler saw that Lord Xu felt like his head was going to explode, but he still had to stand by and wait with him and serve him tea .
âMaster, please wait a moment . I will go ask the host to come out . â The senior butler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then walked out cautiously before turning around and disappearing .
He said he was calling the host, but he did not say he was calling Fourth Lady Yu .
After a while, he saw a sturdy figure staggering out .
Poor General Yu, who had not healed yet had to bite the bullet and come out to receive this famous and difficult Lord Xu .
Enduring the pain in his body, General Jade Yu staggered over the threshold and gave a salute to Lord Xu: âChen Yupeng pays his respects to Lord Xu . Long live the prince . â
After waiting for a while, he didnât hear the voice of Lord Xu . General Yu raised his head in doubt, just to meet Lord Xuâs handsome face with a funny look .
âYou...were also hit by Yu Linglong!?â
On General Yu in front of him, he could only see the injuries of his body through the difficult steps, but the sharp whip marks on his face could not be concealed .
General Yuâs dark face immediately flushed red, making the scars more obvious .
It was shameful to see, the head of his own dignified family, this important minister of the nation, was beaten into a demon by his daughter, a fourteen-year-old girl!
Lord Xu raised his head and laughed, and said jokingly: âEven you have been beaten into this kind of morality . That lordâs slap is still merciful to Linglong . â
General Yu was speechless . He really didnât know how he should deal with this hostile Lord Xu .
Itâs just that he understood at least one point, that Lord Xu valued Yu Linglong so much, that he couldnât move anyway from this concubineâs daughter .
Lord Xu adjusted his cuffs and looked idle: âWhere is Linglong, why hasnât she come out yet?â
General Yu replied helplessly: âThe little girl...the little girl is unwell...â
The flushed face had been speaking for a while, and he couldnât say any more . General Yu was not Mu Shi, so he just opened his mouth .
Seeing General Yuâs suffocated face turn purple, Lord Xu couldnât help but smile: âHow is she unwell? Yesterday, she slapped the lord, and today she fell ill?â
General Yu was not an eloquent person in the first place . He was so cornered by Lord Xu and he didnât know how to deal with it . Did he want to admit that he had lied? Or should he apologize for Yu Linglong for beating Lord Xu yesterday?
Before General Yu could think about what to say, Lord Xu got up and went straight out: âIf she refuses to come, I will go through!â
General Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at the figure who had gone away in surprise .
Lord Xu marched straight into the inner courtyard of his house!?
Looking at the equally stunned butler around him, General Yu gave a fierce kick: âWhat are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and inform the people inside, withdraw! Withdraw!â
Lord Xu didnât take entering into the inner courtyard of others seriously, and he couldnât just watch Lord Xu pass by an unmarried daughter . Who was being provoked here!
