The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cang Yue Kingdom - Nanlai - Posthouse

On the ninth day of April, after lunch, Ye Ling took Wan Qi to chat with Ying Ren, who had just been able to sit up.

Ying Ren ate the snacks Ye Ling bought for him and said, "Miss Ye, I heard... you bought the same clothes as His Highness and Prince Xue?"

"You are quite gossipy! Yes, and my Wanqi, the four of us are the same, but I won't wear it. They have been acting very strangely in the past two days, and I'm too lazy to pay attention to them," Ye Ling said while cracking melon seeds.

"Tomorrow, on the tenth day of the lunar month, you will go to the Langya Pavilion branch. Be careful, your wound has just stopped bleeding."

"It's okay. It's easy to be an official if you have someone in the court. Hall Master Mu is my father's sworn brother and he's taking care of me."

"That's good." Shadow Blade thought for a moment and said, "Miss Ye, who do you think is more reliable, my prince or Prince Xue?"

"Let me think about it." Ye Ling thought for a moment: "Jingchuan."

"Why?" Ying Ren was not calm anymore: "Our Highness is the prince."

"The imperial family is the most ruthless, haven't you heard? Jingchuan has fewer concerns."

"The Blood Prince is a Prodigal Son"

"The prodigal son returns with gold that will never be exchanged for money."

Ying Ren was speechless and felt that the snack in his mouth no longer tasted good.

At the same time, the entrance to the inn was bustling with activity. Meng Shishi, who had been chasing after them, arrived. She got off the carriage and hurried all the way to the main courtyard: "Senior Brother? Senior Brother..."

"Shishi is here," Xue Jingchuan said with a smile.

"Big Brother is here too!" Meng Shishi was delighted and quickly changed her address to "Second Brother, how's he doing? I heard about it on the way and it was so scary."

"Shishi is here" Nangong Chen walked out of the house.

"Second brother, are you okay?" Meng Shishi hurried forward to support him.

"You were hit by an arrow, but you're fine now. It must have been tiring to travel so fast. Come and sit down," said Nangong Chen.

"It's not hard at all. As long as you are okay, it's fine. By the way, eldest brother, father said that you should go back when you have time. He has been away for several years. Second brother should at least go back occasionally," said Meng Shishi.

"Okay, I'll go back when I have time."

As they were talking, Ye Ling came back leisurely, with Wan Qi jumping and skipping behind him.

Xue Jingchuan smiled as he saw the person coming in and said, "Are you done talking? Ying Ren is almost depressed by your talk."

"Nonsense, I saw that he couldn't get out of bed and felt so sorry for him, that's why I went to chat with him every day." Ye Ling retorted, looking at Meng Shishi.

Xue Jingchuan stood up and said, "Shishi, let me introduce you. This is the heroine Ye Ling, who was instrumental in rescuing the emperor this time. Little Ye Ling, this beautiful lady is the daughter of our master Meng Shouzun, and also the junior sister of the prince and me, Meng Shishi."

The two women disliked each other when they first met.

Meng Shishi showed her dignity and elegance and spoke first: "Hello, Miss Ye."

"Hello, Miss Meng," Ye Ling replied reluctantly.

"Don't stand there, come and sit down," said Nangong Chen.

Ye Ling didn't say anything, walked over and sat down. The atmosphere at the scene was very strange.

Nangong Chen took a piece of dessert and said, "Wanqi, here, your favorite dessert."

Wanqi walked over to take the snack, trotted to another bench in the yard and sat down to eat. She was so sensible that she never bothered adults and stayed in the corner alone.

Meng Shishi glanced at Wan Qi and asked, "Brother, whose child is she?"

"Ye Ling picked it up," Nangong Chen replied.

Meng Shishi clearly didn't believe it: "Picked her up? I think she looks a lot like Miss Ye."

Ye Ling folded his arms across his chest, leaning against the stool, and spoke with interest: "He looks like me. Miss Meng thought he was my child, right?"

"They really look alike!"

"That's impossible? How are they similar?" Xue Jingchuan looked at Wan Qi seriously.

Ye Ling smiled and said, "I also want to have a daughter like this, one who is obedient and sensible, but when I was twelve, I really couldn't give birth to one! Miss Meng, do you have any experience?"

After these words were spoken, Nangong Chen and Xue Jingchuan were stunned. Was he so fierce right from the start?

Meng Shishi was very angry and tried to smile: "Miss Ye, you are joking. I am a straightforward person, please don't mind it!"

"Hehe...it's okay. My slap hurts, so don't mind it when the time comes."

"You..." Meng Shishi wanted to lose her temper, but with two men present, she had to remain graceful and could only change the subject: "I just heard from the eldest brother that it was my sister who saved the second brother?"

"Stop, you are older than me, don't call me sister"

Meng Shishi's face was extremely ugly: "Okay, then Miss Ye, Second Senior Brother is a master of the Langya List, how could he be injured so easily, is it to save you..."

"Shishi," Xue Jingchuan interrupted Meng Shishi, "Ye Ling's martial arts skills are superior to mine. If she hadn't risked her life to save the prince that night, it would have been hard to say what would have happened to him. You can't just guess randomly."

Meng Shishi was obviously shocked. She thought her subordinates were incompetent. It turned out that Ye Ling really knew martial arts. "Miss Ye can actually wield a sword and a gun. I'm sorry, I thought Miss Ye was also a lady from a wealthy family, so I guessed that."

"Miss Meng is really good at guessing. My father is the commander-in-chief of the border town. How can I embarrass him? I have to make a name for myself. I will never think about chasing men all day long. I think that would be cheap." Ye Ling had no intention of getting along peacefully with Meng Shishi at all, because just yesterday, Mu Xia sent someone to tell her that Meng Shishi had sent people to inquire about her everywhere, and her intentions were not good.

Xue Jingchuan and Nangong Chen exchanged a glance, and Xue Jingchuan quickly stood up: "Ye Ling, your wound needs a dressing change. Come on, I'll change it for you."

"Wound? Where is Miss Ye injured?" Meng Shishi asked quickly.

"Shoulder" blood Jingchuan returned.

Meng Shishi smiled again: "Miss Ye is indeed a woman of the Jianghu, asking a man to change medicine."

"Hehe..." Ye Ling also laughed: "My injury is my shoulder, what can't I change? Miss Meng runs around in an off-shoulder dress, and has been seen by so many men. I can't compare to her!"

"You... Senior Brother, look at her." Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, Meng Shishi started to act coquettishly.

Ye Ling followed suit and pulled Xue Jingchuan's arm: "Brother Jingchuan, I'm just telling the truth! I've made your junior sister unhappy, so I'm leaving now."

"Are you doing this on purpose?" Meng Shishi was anxious.

"Your Highness," Ye Ling stomped his feet, "Speak up! He was injured so badly in order to save you. You can't be irresponsible."

Xue Jingchuan was trying hard to hold back his laughter, while Nangong Chen looked bewildered. “You…Jingchuan, take Ye Ling to change the medicine. Xuan Lei, arrange for Shi Shi to live in the next yard.”

"I don't want it," Meng Shishi refused: "I want to live in this yard."

"There are only three bedrooms in this yard. I have one, and the remaining two are for Jingchuan and Ye Ling." Nangong Chen had a headache.

"Ye Ling, why should she live here?"

"Just because I am his savior, and you can only call me senior brother~senior brother~, and when you encounter danger, you still need the prince to save you. It's useless." Ye Lingxue described it vividly.

"You..." Meng Shishi stomped her feet in anger: "Senior Brother, I want to live here."

"Then I'll go to the next yard." Xue Jingchuan wanted to end the fight.

"I don't want to," Ye Ling disagreed. "I'm injured, and I only feel safe if I live in the same courtyard with the prince and Brother Jingchuan! Brother Jingchuan, I don't want you to leave. Why should she, a latecomer, come in and butt in?"

"It's killing me," Xuan Lei muttered in a low voice. He finally witnessed what it meant to change one's expression as easily as turning the pages of a book. This expression was fully reflected in Ye Ling, who switched between them with ease. Most men could not withstand it at all. Oh, no, it should be that no man could withstand it.

"Ye Ling, you...what on earth did you do to my two senior brothers?"

"Ms. Meng, isn't that the wrong thing to say? It should be that they did something to me."

"You...you are shameless, hooking up with two..."

"Shishi, what are you talking about?" Nangong Chen was angry.

Meng Shishi immediately became obedient again, and two tears fell: "Second Brother, I came from afar just to live closer to you."

Nangong Chen had never had such a headache before: "Ye Ling, why don't you and Jingchuan go live in the next yard."

Meng Shishi was immediately happy and looked at Ye Ling proudly.

Ye Ling's face turned cold instantly: "No, I have a place to live, I don't need you here, Wanqi, let's go."

"Wait, how can you turn against me so easily?" Xue Jingchuan said anxiously, "I'll live next door. Be obedient and stop making trouble."

At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to Wan Qi. Despite her small frame, she carried a large bag on her back as she left the room and stood at the gate, waiting for Ye Ling.

"Wanqi, what are you doing?" Xue Jingchuan asked.

"We are no longer wanted here," Wan Qi whispered.

Xue Jingchuan walked to the gate of the courtyard and said, "Wanqi, I don't want to abandon you. You and brother should move to another courtyard."

"Whatever my sister says is what it is." Wan Qi still only listened to Ye Ling's words.

"Stop making a fuss. What's going on is this: tomorrow is the tenth day of the lunar month. Uncle Mu asked me to go there early. I plan to leave in the afternoon, and Wan Qi must follow me at all times," Ye Ling said. She just wanted to piss off the green tea girl, and she wouldn't really compete with her for a man, so she gave up.

"I'll see you off, Your Highness. I won't be back tonight," said Xue Jingchuan.

"Your Highness, I'm leaving now," Ye Ling bowed politely.

Looking at the person leaving, Meng Shishi was confused: "Why did she suddenly become like a different person?"

"Because she has been playing with you, but you took it seriously." Nangong Chen said and stood up and walked into the house, saying as he walked: "You will stay in the room with the eldest brother."

Nangong Chen sent a carriage to take a few people to the Langya Pavilion branch. Wan Qi kept holding her package on the way.

Xue Jingchuan asked with a smile: "What's in it?"

"My sister and I have clothes, and we don't have anything else to pack. Brother, are we being kicked out?"

"No, we are accompanying your sister to the martial arts competition. Isn't the prince very good to Wan Qi? Why would he chase you away, right?" Xue Jingchuan explained patiently.

Wan Qi turned to look at Ye Ling, then took her hand and said, "Sister, Wan Qi is very obedient, isn't she?"

Ye Ling nodded: "Yes, Wanqi is the most obedient child I have ever seen."

"Then sister, don't throw Wanqi away. Wanqi will always be obedient."

Ye Ling felt inexplicably distressed: "Silly girl, sister said that she would never abandon you, believe me."

Wan Qi finally felt relieved. She always remembered what her uncle An said: she could only trust Ye Ling and no one else, no matter how good he was to her.
