Traveled to ancient times and became a cheap little dad

After returning to the city, Ling Yun did not rush to take Aunt Li to identify her, but sent someone to inquire about Ling Chu's recent situation. It turned out that although she had been quiet for a few days after returning to Beijing, the energy in her bones was still there, and she started to jump up and down again in a few days.

Especially after knowing that Jiang Yun was taken away by the emperor, she was even more delighted. No matter how Jiang Yun tried to make peace and not to confront him, Ling Chu couldn't really accept it.

It was fine at first, but later, instigated by someone, she said that if it weren't for Jiang Yun, Luo Mingxuan would not have divorced her, and she completely forgot what she had done that day.

Ah Sheng said coldly, "The eldest lady just returned to Beijing, and people kept mentioning that she was divorced. She couldn't keep it to herself, so she made up an excuse, and she started to believe it."

After all, they were talking about the master's family affairs. Jiang Rong shook his head gently and told him to stop talking.

Aunt Li felt very friendly when she saw Jiang Rong. She started chatting with him. After looking around for a few times but not seeing Jiang Yun, she asked in confusion, "Is your brother not at home?"

Jiang Rong was stunned for a moment, and was about to cry. Ah Sheng hurried forward and hugged him in his arms, "Aunt, my brother is recuperating outside and will be back in a few days."

"Is that so? The child is weak. He needs to be taken good care of in this icy and snowy weather." Aunt Li sighed.

"Yes, yes." Ah Sheng carried Jiang Rong and went out, "You go and have a chat with the old man, and I'll be back after you finish your business."

Jiang Rong finally shed tears, "You said the young master would be back in a few days, were you deliberately trying to coax me?"

"How dare I lie to you, my lady? You know that I always tell the truth." Ah Sheng kissed the corner of his eyes to comfort him.

"I haven't seen the young master for almost a year. I'm really scared..."

"It's okay, trust me, it will be quick."

Ah Sheng comforted him for a long time. After he stopped crying, he sent him to Xue Lin's yard and talked to the two old people.

He immediately rushed back to the room he had just been in and bowed, "Master, it's almost time."

Ling Yun stood up and said, "Aunt, please follow me."

The three of them arrived at a busy street in the capital and entered the second floor of a restaurant, where they could just see the rouge shop next door.

At this time, Ling Chu was just picking out rouge and powder, in a very good mood, and followed by two maids, chatting and laughing as they came out.

Aunt Li squinted her eyes and looked again and again, then raised her hand and pointed, "The one on the left hand side, the one wearing grass green clothes, is that one."

"Big eyes and big ears. When she got on the carriage, she looked back. I saw it clearly."

Ling Yun understood and was basically certain that it was Ling Chu who stole her clothes and colluded with Wen Xia.

Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, now???

Ah Sheng walked forward and lowered his voice, "Master, you don't need all the evidence to know the young lady's temper. Just provoke her and she will speak."

Ling Yun nodded, "Send someone to follow her and the people around her. She can't have contacted only once. Without sufficient evidence, mother will definitely protect her."

"Yes, I will make arrangements now."

After settling Aunt Li, Ling Yun decided to go back to the Ling family’s old house.

As soon as Ling Yun entered the mansion, Old Madam Ling came out to greet him happily. Ever since she used tough measures to stop Ling Yun from entering the palace to save Jiang Yun last time, her son has not been home for many days, and he didn't even come back for the New Year.

Not only did I not come back, but I also didn’t allow my four children to come back to celebrate the New Year. Alas.

I originally thought that Ling Yun had compromised when he came back this time, but it turned out that he didn't compromise at all. He still wanted to get the person back when he opened his mouth.

Madam Ling stamped her feet in anger, "That belongs to the emperor. How can we ordinary people snatch it from him?"

"Besides, your brother is an official appointed by the imperial court. If you make such a scene, will he still be able to keep his position?"

Ling Yun looked back at her expressionlessly, "Mom, you can just lock me up again, starve me for three days and three nights, and punish me according to the family rules."

"You...are you blaming me?"

"You are my mother, how dare I blame you."

"You are blaming me for this." Old Madam Ling felt so angry that her heart ached.

"Son, you have to think about your family. No one can escape the Emperor's favor. Besides, Jiang Yun has been in the palace for so long, I'm afraid she has already been..."

"He has already been unclean, why are you so persistent?"

Ling Yun's expression finally changed, and he stared at Madam Ling, "Mom, when the baby was with me, she was not even 18, pure and innocent, and I am just a widower."

"He didn't despise me, and even gave up his own children to marry me."

"Now he is trapped in the palace. It is not his wish. It is my incompetence that failed to protect him."

"Besides, the baby is a boy, why should he care so much about chastity? I just want him to come back to me."

"As long as he's by my side, nothing else matters."

Master Ling put down the tea bowl and sighed, "Old lady, please don't interfere. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We are old, and it is time to let go."

Old Madam Ling was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger. When she saw her old man talking, she started to scold him, "What do you mean by interfering? Can I not interfere?"

"The Emperor is determined to get Jiang Yun. If he can't get her, he will start with the Ling family."

"You are old and have lived enough. Your grandchildren are only a few years old, and you don't even think about them."

He frowned and glared at Ling Yun again, "I'm telling you, no matter what, I absolutely disagree with this."

Ling Yun drank his tea calmly, "Except you, everyone else in the family agrees. What can you do if you disagree?"

"You, you, you,,,,"

Madam Ling was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. Ling Chu suddenly ran in from outside the door and hurriedly helped her sit down.

She listened outside the door for a long time and was already very angry. "Ling Yun, you are so good, tell me, how many times have you quarreled with your family because of Jiang Yun?"

"I told you long ago that he was a nuisance, but you refused to listen."

"People are going crazy now, and you still want to take it back. Aren't you afraid that he will have a seizure and hurt a few children?"

Ling Yun stood up and looked down at her with a horrifying expression, "How do you know that the baby is crazy?"

"Who did you listen to?"

Ling Chu was startled, and then she realized what she had said. She tried to get away with it by laughing it off. Ling Yun suddenly grabbed her wrist with such force that he seemed to want to crush her bones.

"Tell me, who said the baby was crazy? What else do you know?"

Ling Chu struggled but failed, and Madam Ling hit Ling Yun twice, but Ling Yun held on tightly and refused to let go, "Do you want to try being locked up for three days, without food or water, and having to accept the family rules?"

Madam Ling suddenly let go of her hand. Her son was blaming her. "Yun'er, mother is doing this for your own good and for the good of this family."

"Mom, please save your kindness for Lingchu. She needs it more than I do."

Old Madam Ling almost fainted again. Now her son either kept silent or made her angry to death.

"Chu Chu, how do you know about Jiang Yun's situation? What do you mean when you say he's crazy?"

"Yun'er, let go of your sister first, or her hand will break if you keep squeezing it."

Ling Yun increased the strength of his hands, and Ling Chu gritted his teeth, "I, I just heard about it by chance when I was shopping."

"There are so many people here, I've long forgotten who said it."

Ling Yun pulled her out and said, "If you can't remember, I have plenty of ways to help you remember."

"There are no jail cells or torture instruments in the palace, but there is no shortage of these in the palace, as long as you are tough enough."

"Do you think the prince will agree to lend me the cell and the torture instruments?"
