My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1896: As a Matter of Course

Although kind and considerate, adept at social interactions and smart, the Councilman’s wife had a somewhat dismissive attitude towards a woman who rose from being a maid. Lie Fengzi was such a maid’s daughter, which always made her somewhat uncomfortable.

She hoped her son could have only the best, and that only a perfect girl would be worthy of him.

However, this recent matter certainly made her see this girl in a new light, and she was much more satisfied.

Lie Fengzi risked returning to Yalan Country for Ling Kong. In a time when even the military wasn’t willing to send out search and rescue teams, she insisted on finding Ling Kong and eventually really brought him back.

Whether it’s this life-saving grace, or the deep affection and friendship Fengzi has for Ling Kong, willing to take risks for him and tirelessly bring him back, this sentiment is worth appreciating.

After all, she hoped her son would find the best happiness. With a woman who loves him so much, willing to risk her life for him, if they were to marry, it would surely be blissful.

This is a good thing! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Thinking of this, the Councilman’s wife smiled and said to Ji Lingkong:

"Okay, now that you’ve sustained such injuries, don’t think too much. Just focus on recovering. Miss Fengzi is anxiously waiting outside for news of your awakening. She’s been here guarding you for two days for your sake. Let’s bring her in to chat with you."

Ji Lingkong slightly furrowed his brows: "Duchess? Why is she here, hasn’t she returned home?"

"Yes, but she went back to Yalan Country without regard for anything because of you." The Councilman’s wife smiled meaningfully, looking very pleased.

Ji Lingkong frowned even more deeply, seeing his mother’s smile with its deeper meaning, his heart was even more perplexed.

"Mom, what is the meaning of this?" he asked straightforwardly.

"Don’t play dumb. I noticed your attitude towards her was distinct. Even during the medal ceremony, you invited her to personally pin the medal on you, while I, your own mother, didn’t notice." The Councilman’s wife laughed joyfully, finding mutual affection naturally a good thing, making everything more seamless.

Since Ling Kong had Lie Fengzi come on stage during such a special ceremony, it was tantamount to announcing this girl’s unique relationship with him, marking her as someone he particularly values.

He’s not a child who makes reckless decisions, and such actions clearly reveal his interest in her.

"You stubborn child, always claiming you’re uninterested in marriage, but you hid it so well. Were you afraid your father and I would disapprove? Seriously, there’s no need to conceal such things. I’m delighted. Wait here, I’ll bring her in."

The Councilman’s wife hurried to the door and called Lie Fengzi inside. Seeing Lie Fengzi, who had been waiting outside the hospital room for two days, her pure and beautiful face without makeup now tainted with weariness and pallor, the Councilman’s wife was even more moved and held her hand with concern.

"I told you to go back and rest, but you insisted on waiting here, and now you’re exhausted."

"Young Master Ling Kong hasn’t woken up yet, how could I be at ease to leave? After all, he’s so seriously injured, it really worries people." Lie Fengzi turned to look at Ji Lingkong lying on the hospital bed, showing a delighted smile filled with surprise, and rushed excitedly to the bedside, "Great, you’re finally awake. I was worried sick. Thankfully, the rescue was timely, and you’re okay."

Her eyes, filled with red streaks, slightly moist, holding glistening tears, on the verge of falling, matched with her delicate and elegant appearance, although her face was weary, beauty is beauty. Such worried and tearful expressions became even more deeply moving.
