Chapter 116 Qi Lingheng Stays
Chapter 116 Qi Lingheng Stays
"Take this back. I won't leave you." Qi Lingheng took out a piece of paper from his arms. It was the indenture that Su Tang had thrown to him before.
"As a son of a marquisate, it is impossible for you to stay in the countryside for your whole life. Stay at the Su family for a few days, and then take Qi Feng and the others back." Su Tang did not take it. She knew what Qi Lingheng handed over after just one glance.
"One-day husband and wife..."
"Don't say that. We are not actually husband and wife. Bringing you back was just a temporary solution."
"If you want sex, I can give it to you now." Qi Lingheng seemed to have grasped the wrong direction.
Su Tang rolled her eyes at Qi Lingheng and didn't intend to continue this topic with him. If she ignored him for a while, he would probably leave.
While thinking, Su Tang took Qi Lingheng out of the space.
As for Qi Feng and the others, Su Tang found it troublesome to bring them in and out, so she decided to let them stay in the space and let them out when necessary.
After returning to the room, Su Tang opened the door and walked out without even looking at Qi Lingheng's resentful expression behind her.
"Good morning, Miss." Zhao Dali's voice came from the back of the yard.
"Well, the horse I brought back yesterday was locked up with our donkey. They didn't fight, did they?" In order to have a good sleep last night, Su Tang blocked out the sounds outside the space.
Dahe Village is very safe now, and Su Tang doesn't need to be on guard against anyone.
"It's fine. There was no movement last night."
Zhao Dali opened the donkey shed, went to the hay shed and brought back a large handful of hay and put it in the trough.
The donkey and the horse snorted and happily ate the grass.
"Hehe." Su Tang looked at the little donkey eating grass, took out a piece of candy from the space and handed it to its mouth. She still liked this little donkey the most.
The little donkey smelled the familiar scent, ate it happily, then looked up and called to Su Tang a few times.
Su Tang patted its head and turned away.
"Miss, can I bring breakfast to your room?" Sun Yueyun poked her head out of the kitchen and looked at Su Tang.
"Yeah." Su Tang always got up late before, and her breakfast was brought to her room by Sun Yueyun.
Su Tang returned to the room and Sun Yueyun was placing two meals on the table.
"Miss, if there is anything else you want to eat, please call me." Sun Yueyun said while standing beside the table.
Before she left, she looked at Qi Lingheng again.
Su Tang told them yesterday that this man was Su Tang's husband.
But why did she feel that Su Tang’s husband looked familiar?
Sun Yueyun's father was originally an official in the capital, although his position was not high-ranking, only a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue.
But this position is also of utmost importance in the Ministry of Revenue. After all, most of the documents have to go through his hands.
Therefore, she would often attend banquets held by young ladies in the capital.
Of course, she is just a foil.
"What are you looking at him for?" Su Tang noticed Sun Yueyun's actions. She walked to the table and sat down, drank a mouthful of porridge, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of scrambled egg with chopped green onions and ate it.
"My son-in-law looks familiar to me." Sun Yueyun said as she stood at the table.
"Well, where have you seen it?"
"In the capital, the eldest princess hosted a flower-viewing banquet." At that time, Sun Yueyun was just a foil. She was actually not qualified to attend such a high-level banquet.
But on weekdays, she often participated in small banquets organized by other female relatives in Beijing, and she was also very good at dealing with people, so she was very popular in the circle of young ladies in Beijing.
When the eldest princess held a flower-viewing banquet, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue asked her to accompany her.
Of course, the eldest princess would not only invite female relatives to the flower-viewing banquet, she would also invite those unmarried young men in the capital.
Even if many young masters are unwilling to participate in the invitation of the Grand Princess, they will still go because of the deterrence of the Grand Princess and the face of the royal family.
Qi Lingheng also went there that time.
As the son of Marquis Dingbei and one of the three most popular young masters in the capital, there is no noble lady in the capital who does not know Qi Lingheng.
So, Sun Yueyun was surprised when she saw Qi Lingheng.
She looked at Qi Lingheng repeatedly, just wanting to confirm whether she had recognized the wrong person.
"You've got the wrong person. I'm just a refugee." Qi Lingheng said coldly.
"Oh, well, then I'll go out first." Sun Yueyun frowned. Although Qi Lingheng said so, she still found it a little unbelievable.
How is it possible for two people to look exactly the same?
She had never heard before that Marquis Dingbei had other descendants.
Sun Yueyun left the room and considerately closed the door for them.
"Come and have dinner." Su Tang patted the table beside her.
Qi Lingheng walked over and sat down, then picked up his bowl of porridge and took a sip.
"Don't you want to eat this scrambled eggs?"
"It's too greasy." Qi Lingheng picked up some pickled vegetables and chewed them carefully.
Su Tang couldn't help but smile when she saw how Ling Heng ate the pickles as if they were delicious.
By the way, she had never seen Qi Lingheng eat too fast. Even at the northern border, he was always very polite when eating. This kind of upbringing was really engraved in his bones.
Unlike her, she can even make noises while eating.
"I'll go find Dad." Qi Lingheng put all the dishes and chopsticks on a tray and prepared to take them to the kitchen.
"Well, but don't talk nonsense to him. He doesn't like dealing with big officials. If he knew you were from Kyoto, he would probably chase you away today."
Su Tang was telling the truth. Old Man Su was afraid of being discovered by people in Beijing, so he deliberately ran to such a remote place to work as a village doctor. He never treated the powerful and wealthy, just to avoid those people in Beijing.
If they knew that Qi Lingheng was the eldest son of the Dingbei Marquisate in Kyoto, they would really be able to do it and drive him away today.
Qi Lingheng was stunned for a moment while holding the tray, then nodded as if responding to Su Tang's words.
Then he went out with the tray.
Su Tang didn't follow either, and didn't know what Qi Lingheng said to Old Man Su. During dinner, Old Man Su's complexion was obviously much better, and he even asked Qi Feng and Qi Yan why they didn't come today.
Qi Lingheng said they all had something to do and went out to do business.
After Father Su nodded in agreement, he said with concern, "It's good to be young. You still remember to work hard for the family in such a cold day. However, you still need to take care of your health. When you are young, you don't think there is anything wrong. At my age, all the problems that I didn't take seriously before have come back."
Qi Lingheng agreed seriously: "Dad is right."
Su Tang raised her eyebrows as she looked at the loving father and filial son. If someone didn’t know, one would have thought that Qi Lingheng was Old Man Su’s biological son.
Just like that, Qi Lingheng settled down in the Su family again.
He was quite well-behaved. Apart from copying some manuscripts at home every day, he would run to the mountains when the weather was fine, saying that he wanted to see the valley built by the Su family.
When spring comes, he will be able to go up the mountain to help out.
