Doting on the slave's heart

Tonight in Tang capital city
, the Huaixiang Restaurant, the largest establishment on South Street, was far more bustling than usual.
The restaurant's largest and most spacious banquet hall had been booked out, with waiters serving dishes and wine
weaving each accompanied by one or two young women.
The person who booked the banquet hall was Ling Yuyang, one of the four renowned managers of the famous Mingji Restaurant in the capital, to
reward his subordinates who had accompanied him on the journey back to the capital from the southwest with a shipment of precious minerals.
Amidst the noise and clinking of glasses,
Ling Yuyang, seated at the head of the banquet hall, beamed with a hearty smile, accepting his subordinates' frequent requests for drinks.
He effortlessly downed glass after glass of strong liquor, drawing praise for his supposed inability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk,
and even the two beautiful women accompanying him gazed at him with envious and admiring eyes.
"Master Ling, Yaoxiang will join in the fun and offer you a toast." The alluring beauty on the left had a seductive
glint in her eyes, her gaze curving upwards
as she spoke in a soft, seductive voice. Ling Yuyang glanced at her, a hint of wickedness creeping into his cheerful smile
.
He reached out and playfully caressed her slender waist. "What, even you want to get me drunk?" He drank the wine from the glass her delicate hand was offering to his lips, then leaned down and
whispered in Yaoxiang's ear, the scene instantly revealing their intimate relationship.
"No way, Yaoxiang just wanted to liven things up!" she protested coquettishly, her body pressing against
his.
"Afraid I'll get too drunk and 'lack the stamina'?" Ling Yuyang teased, letting her
rub against him.
"Master Ling..." Yaoxiang rubbed her head against his hard chest a few more times, her alluring eyes filled with
a hungry desire, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Yao Xiang, a master of seduction, had maintained her position as the top courtesan at Huai Xiang Lou, a testament to her extensive experience
and understanding of the needs of various men. She had used her beauty and cunning to subdue many demanding and difficult
nobles, but she couldn't see through Ling Yu Yang,
let beneath his ever-present, cheerful smile.
"Don't worry! No matter how much I drink tonight, you won't escape!" His large hand, which had been around her slender waist,
slid down , unabashedly kneading Yao Xiang's full, round buttocks. He uttered these words with a wicked smirk,
a satisfied look flashing across his eyes as he gazed at her alluring, upturned face, a wicked and intrigued glint in his gaze.
"Master..." On Ling Yuyang's right, Qiongfang, who had been watching with a mixture of jealousy and resentment, finally found an opening and
immediately protested in a perfectly crafted, delicate voice, feigning indignation.
After all, Qiongfang's reputation for beauty was second to none in Huaixiang Pavilion; how could she stand by and watch that vixen Yaoxiang
monopolize the spotlight? Where would her pride be then?
Ling Yuyang turned his head to look at the beauty on his right, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and a smirk appeared on his lips. "Jealous?"
he teased.
"Qiongfang also wants to keep you company, Master! How can you favor one over the other?" The soft, muffled complaint lacked any anger, but the
unvarnished words made Yaoxiang on the other side grit her teeth in resentment.
Ling Yuyang flirtatiously pulled Qiongfang closer to his side as well. "How about we have a 'threesome' tonight?
So as not to disappoint you two's kind intentions." He suggested in a light, suggestive tone.
"How can that be..."
"I don't want to..."
Just as the two beauties were protesting, Zhang Yimin, one of Ling Yuyang's assistants sitting next to the head of the table, suddenly
spoke up.
"Ladies, please calm down. Actually, Master Ling has other important matters to attend to tonight and cannot stay."
The two beauties who were making noise suddenly fell silent, their eyes simultaneously glancing towards the source of the sound. " Oh right
! I almost forgot!" Ling Yuyang, who had been enjoying himself immensely, seemed to remember something after Zhang Yimin's reminder and exclaimed softly. "Looks like I'll have to disappoint you two ladies !" He looked at the two disappointed women in his arms with a hint of reluctance, a strange light flashing in his eyes. ********** ... Zhang Yimin rolled his eyes at the person strolling leisurely ahead. Every time his boss tried to escape , he used this method to make his departure legitimate. Now, the boss was even deliberately being sarcastic; he didn't believe his boss really wanted to stay! "Boss, I've been with you for more than just a day or two," Zhang Yimin hinted with a hint of complaint. "If that's the case, why bother asking?" Ling Yuyang stopped and glanced back. "Besides, the moon is bright tonight; why not enjoy it a little longer?" His capable assistant was efficient and quick, and his martial arts skills were not weak either, but his personality was a bit inflexible , always straightforward. Zhang Yimin was taken aback at first, then snapped out of it at the snickering of his other partner, Liu Zheng, and strode forward to catch up with his master, not forgetting to glare at Liu Zheng. After the three of them returned to Ling Yuyang's residence in the capital, Liu Zheng brought up another matter. "Master, now that we've delivered the goods ordered by 'Haotianbao' to 'Rifeng' in three days, there's nothing else you need to handle personally. Are you planning to return to Ling County?" Ling Yuyang, casually leaning back in his chair, lost his relaxed expression, his handsome brows furrowing slightly as he recalled the letter he'd received a month ago from his mother, who lived in Ling County, containing absurd details. "I really don't understand..." he muttered to himself. "Perhaps the old lady hopes to have a grandson soon; that's only natural!" Liu Zheng speculated. Ling Yuyang glanced at him. "As far as I know, my mother already has a grandson. My elder brother is already married." "Uh, perhaps the old lady is worried about you..." Liu Zheng tried to come up with a reasonable explanation. The handsome eyes fixed on Liu Zheng suddenly filled with mockery. "Yes, she was so worried that she even bought me a wife to keep at home, waiting for me to 'enjoy' her when I get back!" "So, Master, you're already planning to return to Ling County?" Liu Zheng asked again. Ling Yu raised an eyebrow. "My mother has nothing better to do than create this mess for me. How could I not go back to deal with it ?" " Then when does Master plan to depart? So that your subordinate can make preparations," Zhang Yimin immediately asked.

"I will ask the Prince for leave tomorrow. Three days later, I will accompany you on your journey south with the cargo. After we
have safely delivered this important shipment, I will head to Ling County. You will stay here to handle all
business matters while I am away."
"You plan to return to Ling County alone?!" Liu Zheng asked in surprise, his tone dismissive.
"Don't worry! I will immediately send you a message if anything happens." Ling Yuyang waved his hand,
his tone .
He was going to resolve this absurd matter "quickly" and "resolutely" in his own way.
No one could force him to do something he didn't want to do!
******************************
The next day at the Prince of Dingbei's residence
"Ha...hahaha..."
A heavily pregnant woman was laughing heartily without restraint. Sitting beside her was an embarrassed
Ling Yuyang , and next to him was the "terrified" Prince of Dingbei and owner of Mingji, Jin Minglei.
"Rong'er, can you tone it down a bit?" he sighed, his eyes watching his beloved wife's "dangerous" smile.
The beautiful woman who had been laughing wildly, Princess Gu Zirong, slowly composed herself after hearing this. "
Heavens ! The behavior of you ancient people is truly strange! Buying people to be wives? It's so
bizarre and hilarious!" she said, slightly out of breath, glancing at Ling Yuyang.
Jin Minglei helped his wife to a chair, giving Ling Yuyang an apologetic glance.
Ling Yuyang smiled wryly, "If this happened to someone else, I think I would probably react
the same way ."
"Yuyang, you can go back to Ling County to handle this matter. The time it takes depends on the situation; there's no need to rush
back," Jin Minglei said.
"Thank you, Your Highness," Ling Yuyang nodded.
So much etiquette… Gu Zirong pouted, looking unworthy of such formalities.
"So what do you plan to do?" she asked curiously.
Ling Yuyang's eyes flickered. "Actually, I haven't thought about it carefully yet." A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. "
Perhaps I'll consider the current situation after I get back, and then make a decision."
"Aren't you afraid that when you get home, everything will be set up and waiting for you to get married?" Gu Zirong joked.
Ling Yuyang smiled and replied, "First of all, I don't plan to inform them that I'm going back.
Since they don't know I'm going back, they naturally can't force me to comply in this way." He smiled at Gu Zirong.
"Furthermore, my family knows my personality very well, and I believe they wouldn't use this method to force me
to marry ."
"No matter how you handle this matter, just remember to rush back to the capital immediately if there's any need.
Don't try to be brave alone!" Jin Minglei instructed, his tone slightly displeased.
Ling Yuyang chuckled. "I'm just going home, not going to war. Your Highness is too kind."
"Who knows if you'll risk everything alone again like last time!" Jin Minglei glanced at him.
"Your Highness!" Ling Yuyang sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead. "You're still holding
a grudge about me going to help Nangong Yu eliminate the traitor? I'm back in the capital perfectly fine, aren't I?"
"I advise you not to let the other three hear this last sentence, otherwise, it won't just be me wanting to teach
you a lesson!" Jin Minglei warned dismissively. The three he was referring to were
the other .
"It's not that serious, is it?" Ling Yuyang chuckled again.
"Who said it wasn't?!" Gu Zirong immediately retorted from the side, "After Mian Zijun found out about this that day, he
kept cursing you for being ungrateful, for not treating him like a brother, for not asking him for help when you needed it, and even said that next time he sees
you, he'll beat you up first." She said gloatingly, adding fuel to the fire.
"Zijun really said that?" Ling Yuyang was dumbfounded.
"Of course!" Gu Zirong emphasized, "So I advise you to
bring a golden-feathered pigeon with you when you return to Ling County alone this time, just in case, and also to put your 'elder brother's' mind at ease." She glanced at
her husband, .
The golden-feathered pigeon was a "super-fast" carrier pigeon trained by Mingji Trading Company to deliver the most urgent messages, flying
a thousand miles without fail.
"Have you forgotten that I have excellent self-defense capabilities?" Ling Yuyang was both amused and exasperated. He had been apprenticed at the age of eight,
and ordinary people couldn't even get close to him. He really didn't know what they were so nervous about! He even suspected that these
words were made up by his "respectable" "elder sister-in-law" herself, just because she was too bored and wanted
to play with her "subordinates" for fun.
"Better safe than sorry! Don't you think so, husband?" Gu Zirong turned to Jin Minglei.
Jin Minglei nodded without saying a word, his eyes unfathomable, with a faint trace of suppressed emotion.
"Alright!" He knew he couldn't possibly outmaneuver this quick-witted "sister-in-law" anyway, so he might as well agree early to
avoid wasting his breath.
************ A gentle breeze rustled through the trees and shrubs
of Lingjiazhuang
, Ling County, causing the newly sprouted green
buds .
The early blooming flowers announced the arrival of spring, and their fragrance wafted up the breeze to
the pavilion standing in a corner of the garden—"So fragrant…the flowers are blooming so early this year." A pair of hands, seemingly untouched by hardship and well-maintained,
picked up a delicate porcelain bowl from the stone table. With the other hand, she slowly lifted the lid, murmuring a sigh, her voice
slightly serious.
Even after the passage of time, her beautiful appearance remained unchanged from her youth. Time
had added , without the weariness or aging of middle age.
After taking a small sip of tea, Madam Ling gracefully set down her teacup, looking somewhat helplessly at the little girl sitting opposite her,
who seemed dazed and uncomfortable.
"Xiao Xi, I invited you here to admire the flowers with me, not to sit here daydreaming!" She'd
brought the manor for over two months, and why was she still so shy and awkward?
Sitting opposite her, Mu Xi'er, who had remained completely at a loss from beginning to end, suddenly blushed upon hearing Madam Ling's
words , her unease deepening.
"Ah! I'm sorry, Madam." Actually, she wasn't daydreaming; she just didn't know what to say.
"You haven't done anything wrong, why are you apologizing to me?" Madam Ling said dismissively.
"But...but Xiao Xi is clumsy with words, I simply don't know what to say to Madam..." Just like
some of the servants in the manor, whose eloquence was admirable; while looking at herself...Mu Xi'er pursed her lips...
She said, "Besides, Xiaoxi can't share Madam's burdens." She looked at Madam Ling with guilt.
About three months ago, her father, who had been bedridden for many years, suddenly caught a cold. His frail body couldn't withstand
the strain and he passed away. Just when she was at a loss and heartbroken, Madam Ling, whom she had met a few times
, learned of this and quickly stepped in to take care of everything for her. She helped bury her father and brought her to Ling Family Manor, treating
her kindly and gently. But...
"Want to share my burdens? It's simple. Just marry into the Ling family and give me a healthy grandson.
That will put my mind at ease." Madam Ling smiled and repeated her old tune.
As expected…
Mu Xier looked at Madam Ling, who had been so kind to her, with a troubled expression, her brow furrowed slightly. “Madam, my status
is too low ; I am simply not worthy of the outstanding Second Young Master. Madam… please don’t make things difficult for me, okay?
I only wish to spend the rest of my life in Ling Family Manor, as a servant, to repay your great kindness.”
After her father passed away, she moved into Ling Family Manor and found a place to stay, for which she was already deeply grateful. However,
Madam Ling unexpectedly brought up the matter of making her her daughter-in-law, providing her with good food and clothing,
treating her like a pampered young lady. This not only terrified her but also plunged her into a life of misery and scrutiny.
Madam Ling completely ignored her refusals, frequently inviting her to the garden to admire flowers,
enjoy tea, and chat, constantly mentioning this horrifying “idea.” Not long ago, she even heard Madam Ling
say that she had sent a message to her son in the capital…
Good heavens! She had no intention of marrying above her station! She was very self-aware, so why wouldn't Madam Ling
give up on this idea?
"How can that be! How could I bear to let such a lovely girl like you be a slave? I think
it would be more ideal for you to be my daughter-in-law." Madam Ling immediately retorted unhappily.
Ever since she had seen Mu Xier a few times at Qingliu Nunnery, she had taken a liking to this simple-minded girl. If she
couldn't make Mu Xier her daughter-in-law today, she would definitely take her in as her goddaughter, so that she wouldn't be
abused as a slave in Ling Family Village!
Fortunately, her second son was still unmarried, and his age was a suitable match for Mu Xier; otherwise,
it would be a pity to let go of such an ideal daughter-in-law. However, her second son, Ling Yuyang, had not yet
responded to the letter she had sent, and the little girl in front of her seemed to think she was not qualified and kept backing down, refusing to agree.
Alas!
Madam Ling looked at Mu Xier, whose eyes immediately filled with panic upon hearing her words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Madam..." Mu Xier began urgently.
Madam Ling raised her hand to interrupt her, "Let's put this aside for now and talk about it when Yu Yang returns."
"Huh! The Second Young Master is coming back?" Mu Xier could no longer hide her panic.
"Uh... I guess so!" Madam Ling thought for a moment. Based on the message she sent last time, she believed her son
wouldn't ignore her.
"Madam, if the Second Young Master returns, could you please tell him that your intentions are not..." Mu Xier
tried her best to change Madam Ling's mind.
"No!" Madam Ling refused decisively, "You haven't even met Yu Yang yet, how do you know he doesn't like you?"
"Madam, I..." She... she really couldn't do it!
Sigh! Mu Xier lowered her eyes dejectedly, unable to pretend she didn't see the resentful gazes of the two
maids .
Madam probably didn't know that her different treatment of her had prevented her from making friends in Ling Family Manor, and had also
put her in an ambiguous and awkward situation, not knowing what to do.
Seeing her increasingly furrowed brow, Madam Ling wisely stopped her, "Don't think so much. Xiao Xi, come
for a walk in the garden with me!" She stood up and slowly walked down the pavilion steps.
"Uh, oh, yes, Madam." Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Mu Xi'er stood up from the stone bench and hurriedly followed
behind.
The breeze was still blowing gently, and the early spring flowers still exuded a faint fragrance, but Xi'er's heart was inexplicably in turmoil
...
**********************************
Half a month later, in the main hall of the Ling family manor
, "Oh! Someone's pace is really 'fast'! This letter was sent to the capital more than a month ago. Your second
young master is really forgetful!"
Hearing the servant's report, Madam Ling, who rushed to the main hall, saw Ling Yuyang, who had been dawdling for a long time, finally returning home with
a completely unrepentant and carefree expression, and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
"Mother, you have to let me finish my official business!" Ling Yuyang looked at his mother's angry face with amusement
, already prepared to be scolded.
"You continue with your official business! Come back when you need me to offer incense for you!" You brat!
You're clearly deliberately delaying your return, yet you dare to lie through your teeth.
"Don't be so harsh, Mother." Ling Yuyang helped his mother to a chair and sat down
beside her , his face gentle, a half-smile playing on his lips. "If others hear this, they'll really think you've raised
a very unfilial son!"
"You talk nonsense!" Madam Ling scolded, her voice turning cold. "Tell me, did
you see the letter I sent to the capital last time?"
"I saw it a long time ago." Ling Yuyang waved his hand dismissively. "Huh? I've been here for ages,
why haven't I seen my elder brother yet? Is the estate that busy?" He tried to change the subject, but it
didn't .
"Your elder brother has gone out on business." Madam Ling paused, suddenly realizing his intention. "Stop beating around the bush
! Now that you've read the letter, you should understand why I'm calling you home. If you have no objections,
then I can start preparing." Madam Ling said wishfully.
"Prepare for what?" Ling Yuyang was taken aback.
"Your marriage to Xiao Xi!" Madam Ling sighed. "Did you even listen to what I said?"
"I didn't agree!" Ling Yuyang immediately feigned surprise.
"You should meet her first. I guarantee you'll like Xiao Xi as much as I do. Or...
let you spend a few days together before we start preparing..."
"Mother!" Ling Yuyang interrupted his increasingly excited mother. "I don't care if it's Xiao Xi or Xiao Dong. I
don't want , so please don't worry about it." He stated his position.
Madam Ling was taken aback for a moment, then immediately frowned. "How can that be! I've already told Xiao Xi that as soon as you return to
the manor, I'll help you two with your wedding."
Ling Yuyang's eyes darkened, and he said impatiently, "Mother, I don't care what you
said to that girl, Xiao Xi, anyway, I didn't agree, so don't even think about making me go through with the wedding ceremony."
Madam Ling saw the obvious rejection in her son's eyes and was momentarily stunned. "Then...then Xiao Xi..."
A look of suspicion flashed in Ling Yuyang's eyes. "Mother, this idea of marriage, was it 'your' idea?"
"Yes...yes!" Madam Ling replied casually, her brow furrowed as she thought about how to persuade
her son now. Judging from his expression, he really didn't seem to have any intention of getting married!
Looking at his mother's expression, the suspicion in Ling Yuyang's eyes deepened. Could it be...?
"Mother, where did you meet this 'Xiao Xi'?" he asked seriously.
Hearing this question, Madam Ling perked up. "Do you remember that every month your mother goes to
the 'Green Willow Nunnery' on the outskirts of the city to offer incense and pray for the safety of our Ling family?"
"Yes." Ling Yuyang replied, wondering what this had to do with his question. Uh… he thought for a moment
, "Mother, could it be that you bought that girl 'Xiao Xi' from that 'Green Willow Nunnery'?"
"Not entirely." Madam Ling smiled.
What kind of answer was that? Ling Yuyang couldn't help but frown slightly, "What do you mean? Mother, can you explain more clearly?
"
"Listen to me, don't rush. I said before that I go to the 'Green Willow Nunnery' once a month, and about half a year
ago, I met Xiao Xi at the nunnery. She lives at the foot of the mountain not far from the 'Green Willow Nunnery,' and usually
does odd jobs to make a living. When she has time, she comes to the nunnery to help out—oh! By the way, Xiao Xi
is also a very good vegetarian cook!" "Later, after I brought her to the manor, I learned that she could not only cook vegetarian dishes, but also
excel at all other cooking methods. Besides..."
"Mother!" Ling Yuyang interrupted his mother, stopping her from going off-topic. "So you bought her after
seeing ?"
"No, son."
"Then what was it? Mother, can you please explain yourself clearly? Don't ramble on about irrelevant things."
Ling Yuyang sighed helplessly.
Madam Ling frowned. "I'm just saying, aren't I? When I first met Xiaoxi, I only thought this
girl was simple and obedient, clever and hardworking. After that, the more I saw her, the more I liked her,
so I often went to the 'Green Willow Nunnery' to chat with her. Later, I learned that she had no other relatives, only a
bedridden father."
"Oh?" Ling Yuyang raised an eyebrow. That simple? "And then? How did you 'buy' her back
?"
"What do you mean by 'buy'? That sounds awful!" Madam Ling glared at her son.
"Your letter clearly stated that you 'bought' a wife for your son and told me to return home as soon as possible
..." He glanced at his mother, his voice laced with sarcasm.
"Uh... Mother thought that if I exaggerated the story..."
"Exaggerated?" Ling Yuyang's eyebrows rose even higher.
"Right! Right!" Madam Ling waved her hand somewhat evasively. "You'll
understand ."
Ling Yuyang's eyes flashed. "Okay."
"Uh, where was I? Oh! Right, a few months later, Xiao Xi's bedridden father suddenly
passed away, so I helped her bury him. After the funeral, I brought Xiao Xi into the manor. Originally, I wanted
to take her as a concubine, but then I thought it would be better for Xiao Xi to be my daughter-in-law. Daughters eventually marry out,
but daughters-in-law are different; they can stay forever."
"So, Mother turned her attention to you, her unmarried son." Ling Yuyang
interjected .
"What are you saying! It's a fact that you're unmarried." Madam Ling said somewhat unhappily. Listen to
his tone, so disdainful!
Her eldest son, Wen Yang, was only two years older than Yu Yang, and had married and taken concubines long ago. Her second
son had been away for many years, traveling far and wide, yet had never brought back a wife to put her mind at ease.
"Even if my son isn't engaged, he doesn't need to marry some unknown and unrelated woman!"
Ling Yu Yang was also somewhat angry.
"Didn't I already tell you where Xiao Xi came from? Besides, you haven't even met her yet, how can you
be so sure you absolutely don't like her!" Madam Ling said somewhat angrily, unaware that this only further provoked Ling Yu Yang
's resentment.
"It seems this 'Xiao Xi' is indeed quite a character, making Mother 'like' her so much."
Ling Yu Yang's eyes darkened, his voice growing colder, one large hand supporting his chin, his head slightly tilted.
"Hey, at least meet her before you speak, don't jump to conclusions so quickly, okay?" Seeing her son's
smile , but sensing no joy in him, Madam Ling softened her tone.
"Alright, let me see her then!" Ling Yuyang agreed without hesitation.
"Great!" Madam Ling immediately smiled with satisfaction. "Then I'll call her right away... Wait, I clearly
instructed the servants to call Xiao Xi before entering the hall, why haven't we seen her after chatting for so long
?" She suddenly remembered this.
"Is that so?" A glint flashed in Ling Yuyang's eyes. It seemed that the person who had been standing outside the hall and refusing to come in was her
. Did she really think that she could hide there and eavesdrop without being discovered?
"Come in! How long do you plan to stand there and eavesdrop?" Ling Yuyang suddenly raised his voice and scolded towards the hall entrance, a
look of disgust flashing in his eyes.
"Son, who are you talking to..." Madam Ling, looking puzzled, followed Ling Yuyang's gaze
and suddenly noticed a petite figure half-hidden by the hall door, and one that looked very familiar.
"Ah! Xiao Xi..." She looked at the figure standing outside the door in surprise, her whole body trembling as her son scolded her
.
Then, Mu Xier's timid figure, carrying a tea tray, appeared at the entrance of the hall and
stepped over the threshold towards the Ling family mother and son...
