Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

Mr. Wu was still hesitating. Mr. Zhang glanced at Hu Ling casually and was slightly startled.

He put down Master Wu's hand, turned slightly, and looked at Hu Ling and Master Wu. Master Wu hurriedly bowed to him and said, "Uncle Zhang, I am honored to meet you."

Master Zhang nodded and helped him up with both hands. He then looked at Hu Ling. Hu Ling also hurriedly bowed to him. Master Zhang gestured for her to stand up. Young Master Wu introduced him to Master Zhang, saying, "This is Miss Hu, the woman I plan to marry."

Mr. Wu stretched out his hand, about to come over. Mr. Zhang caught sight of him and quickly signaled him with his eyes to be patient.

He looked at Hu Ling and asked with a smile, "Miss, could you please tell me your family name?"

Hu Ling was startled, and Young Master Wu was also a little puzzled. Seeing Mr. Zhang's kind and gentle demeanor, the two of them didn't think much about it. Hu Ling answered truthfully, "My daughter's family name is Hu Yiai. My grandfather gave it to me."

Mr. Zhang was silent for a moment. Then he asked, "Is your mother's name Huiyun?" Hu Ling looked at Mr. Wu with wide eyes and nodded.

Master Zhang seemed to understand something. He turned to look at Master Wu, walked over to him and whispered a few words, the gist of which was that he had come to visit today mainly to chat with old friends, and if the younger generation's affairs could be put aside for a while, let them rest on their own, and then get together to talk again another day.

Mr. Wu, who was also looking for a way out, agreed. He then glared angrily at Young Master Wu. Young Master Wu pretended not to notice and whispered to Hu Ling.

Master Zhang came over and spoke to the two of them, asking them to rest first. He would call them over to discuss the relevant matters once Master Wu calmed down. He also told Master Wu to take good care of Hu Ling and not to let down their mutual affection.

The two were surprised and delighted to hear this. Judging from the tone of Mr. Zhang's words, he must be on their side. This made them feel much more at ease.

The two hurriedly expressed their gratitude to Master Zhang. Master Zhang said that it was not necessary to be polite, and that the outcome of this matter was still uncertain. They should wait patiently and also avoid verbal conflicts with the elders. Peace was the most important thing.

The two nodded repeatedly. Then, Master Zhang and Master Wu went into the hall to chat. Ran Mo, Qing Sheng, and the others quickly gathered around them, comforting them and encouraging them.

Wu Shao and Hu Ling thanked everyone for their concern and asked the others to disperse. Qingsheng asked Wu Shao if he would still stay at the mansion today.

Wu Shao pondered for a moment and said, "I won't stay here today. I'll find a place to stay outside. Anyway, this time I don't have to hide around for fear of being discovered."

He and Hu Ling planned to stay at the courtyard where the poetry and prose gathering had been held. He had wanted to go there before, but was afraid of getting too close and being discovered, so he went to Azan's villa.

After hearing this, Hu Ling said that Mr. Wu could just go and live there. Her original residence was still there, so she would move back there first and they would communicate at any time if there was any news.

Wu Shao originally wanted to let her go with him, but after some thought, he decided to do as Hu Ling wished. It would be fine for the two of them to separate for a while.

They left the house and went to the quiet courtyard where they had been before, just in time to relax their tense spirits of the past two days.

Several people drank tea quietly in the courtyard. The atmosphere was a little lonely. Young Master Wu was still caressing Hu Ling's cheek. It was still slightly red and swollen. He blew gently on it to relieve the pain. Hu Ling didn't refuse.

The others were reluctant to ask, fearing it would bring back the previous unpleasant feelings. However, Hu Ling mentioned that Master Zhang had taken the initiative to ask her name, wondering what the deeper meaning was.

Young Master Wu's eyes lit up and he said that judging from Mr. Zhang's expression, it seemed that he had known Elder Hu Ling before, which was not impossible.

The few people who heard this became interested. They all knew that Hu Ling's background was not humble, but she had been stranded here because her family had suffered a disaster. They had not yet mentioned this to Master Wu.

Hu Ling sighed. For years, she had longed for help from her family's former friends and colleagues, but the world was fickle, with few willing to help and many willing to take advantage of their misfortunes. Her eyes reddened again as she spoke.

Wu Shao hurriedly comforted her, saying that we don’t need to be sad about the past. As long as we are truly together, we don’t have to care about other people’s opinions, and we will no longer be looked down upon by others because of our environment.

Hu Ling said with relief that she had long since become indifferent to these flashy things, and in this life she only wished to be with Wu Shao sincerely and live a simple life.

They chatted for a while, but couldn't come up with a better solution. Young Master Wu suggested they have dinner together. Ran Mo said she'd hurry up and visit the County Lieutenant's wife to help her with the request she'd made last time to talk to Young Master Wu about Hu Ling's novel.

Hu Ling nodded in thanks and asked Xin'er to accompany her back to her residence to pack up. They had left in a hurry last time and some things were left unpacked. Azan also said that he and Ranmo would go home to see his mother on the way.

Qingsheng had wanted to go with Ranmo. Ranmo said she was going to see the county lieutenant's wife, and it might not be appropriate for Qingsheng to go with her. He nodded at Wu Shao again.

Qingsheng understood what was going on, so he said he would continue talking to Wu Shao for a while to prevent him from being lonely.

Young Master Wu smiled and said that his good brother was thoughtful. They then went their separate ways, waiting for any new news from the palace before discussing it together.
