Chapter 237 - Standing up!

Qiu Meng was so attracted that she almost agreed. But when she thought about the purpose of the visit, she shut up immediately and was in a cold sweat.

“It would be a fault to forget about my son in order to improve my cooking.” She thought.

“There will be more time in the future. Give you the recipe first.”

Qiu Meng was so generous that Su Li was a little surprised. She hurriedly returned it to Qiu Meng and said, “Madam, no gain without pain. Forgive me for not accepting such a precious recipe.”

Qiu Meng put the recipe in her hand again and chuckled, “Take it. That’s the Old Lady’s idea. No one in the Ling Family can make a cake. If we let it lie idle, it will be a piece of waste paper. It’s better to give it to you. If you can restore the flavor of the past, we can also buy some to enjoy the delicious food.”

Then Su Li shook her head hurriedly and said, “Madam, you give me the valuable gift. If I can make it, I will definitely send some to you for tasting. How could I receive your money?”

“Did you agree?” Qiu Meng giggled.

The expression of Qiu Meng’s nostalgia disappeared and was replaced by pride.

Su Li was stunned for a moment and nodded helplessly. In order to let her accept it, Qiu Meng designed a plan. It was too treacherous.

“Su Li, I suddenly remembered that I am going to attend the tea party held by Madam Yu today. I have to go out at once!” Qiu Meng suddenly stood up and said in a hurry. The acting... Even Yun Yi felt embarrassed.

“It’s impolite for me to leave when you just came... By the way, my third son is at home. Let him accompany you for a moment to perform the duties of the host. Don’t refuse it. I’ll be back soon!”

Although Qiu Meng’s acting skills were poor, she negated all the possible reasons for refusal of Su Li. So, Su Li had to nod.

Yun Yi tried his best to restrain himself, but it was hard to hold back. Thanks to his tan skin, the red face wasn’t seen clearly.

Soon Qiu Meng pretended to leave, but actually went back to the backyard and secretly encouraged Ling Li.

“Li, I’ve done everything that I could do. Then it’s up to you.”

Su Li took the recipe and followed the maid to the East Courtyard. She looked up at the vines full of the wall, and there was a gleam in her eyes.

In the previous life, the Ling Family was accused of treason because of the site, and they could not prove their innocence.

Ling Li was here as expected.

It was obvious that Qiu Meng had planned for a long time. Su Li and Yun Yi were led to the East Courtyard easily. Through the long corridor, Yun Yi found at least a dozen of warriors of the inborn realm secretly protecting Ling Li. He secretly sighed that the protection of the Ling Mansion to the playboy was as good as that of Su Li. He became the playboy because they had doted on him since the childhood.

At the end of the long corridor, there was a small yard. The maids stood on both sides of the gate and opened the door for Su Li. The scene was in sight.

The plum tree was in full bloom. The green leaves flattered the plum blossom very elegantly, which was different from the luxurious life in Yun Yi’s imagination. Wasn’t Ling Li a playboy? Why did he live in such a poor yard?

When Su Li stepped in, she felt the tactical matrix. Ling Li couldn’t make it. It must have been done by the Yinmo Cult. Although it couldn’t compare with that of the master who taught her in the previous life, it was also at a high level.

Ling Xian stood under the eaves and saw Su Li, with a warm look and a smile, “Princess Li, Childe has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Ling Xian bowed her head and walked away. Su Li looked at her. When she was going in, she suddenly stopped, “Childe Ling asked you to be his maid. It’s really extravagant.”

Ling Xian’s expression changed slightly when she heard it. She looked down to escape from Su Li, but she was shocked. Her cultivation was discovered. How could it be?!

Yun Yi didn’t understand what Su Li meant, and didn’t know that Ling Xian had the cultivation of the inborn sixth hurdle. He just looked at Ling Xian subconsciously and found that she was really beautiful, and that her temperament was not like a maid, but... still couldn’t compare with his Miss.

He thought about it, and suddenly heard, “Yun Yi, go in with me.”

“Me?”

Yun Yi was shocked. But seeing Su Li’s indisputable look, he could only follow her in. He had no experience of helping Su Li cope with the playboy.

In the room, she saw Ling Li in a wheelchair beside a round table.

Ling Li was dressed in a pale gold robe, with a neat tuinga, and he had an angular face. His eyebrows were like a pair of swords, the eyes were shining like stars, and his lips were thin.

Yun Yi was shocked. Was he the first playboy of Yunjing? Was the rumor wrong?

He was obviously introverted and not simple. If he weren’t in the wheelchair, Yun Yi would almost have thought that he saw the Young Master. It was unusual that the temperament could appear on a disabled childe.

Ling Li looked at Yun Yi and then looked at Su Li curiously.

Su Li didn’t seem to see it. She stretched out her hand directly and said, “If you give the thing to me, our transaction will be finished.”

What?

Had they known each other before?

Yun Yi was frightened again. After entering the East Courtyard, he was frightened all the time.

Ling Li was speechless, and he felt both sad and amused at once. Su Li misunderstood that he asked his mother to call her over, but it was difficult to explain the matter.

Thinking of the strategy that his mother used in urgent times, Ling Li reluctantly lifted the blanket, stood up and walked to the desk. Then he turned the ink stone, and immediately a downward stone ladder appeared from the ground.

“Where are we going?”

Su Li frowned; however, Yun Yi was thoroughly stunned.

Third Master of the Ling Family, he... he... he stood up?!!

Hadn’t he been crippled since childhood?!

Was everything fake?!

“Miss?”

Yun Yi couldn’t help looking at Su Li, but found that she did not have any unexpected feeling.

She actually had known it before!

Su Li did not say anything. Ling Li looked at Yun Yi, who felt surprised, and said in a strange way, “He is your man, but you did not tell him anything?”

“You know, some things could be known through observation, and it’s unnecessary to speak it out.”

Su Li shook her head. She pointed to the secret way and said, “You dare to dig a tunnel in the Ling Mansion. Aren’t you afraid to be known by the Dongfang Family?”

Ling Li’s face showed something evil. And he smiled and said, “I am the most noticeable and insignificant person in the eyes of Dongfang Xiao. It is impossible for him to search my yard.”

Could anyone know that a young playboy who had been crippled for more than ten years, had a great secret in his residence?

Knowing it, Yun Yi admired and respected Ling Li so much. No matter what he hid, it was not easy for him to have pretended to be a cripple playboy for more than a decade.
