"Pill King Ling, Ruyan is not young anymore, so I was thinking of sending her over to serve you first. What do you think?" Mister Qiao's eyes were full of helplessness when he said this.
If he hadn't thought so much and been so greedy a few years ago, his position with Ling Dong would have been reversed!
If he had settled the matter between Qiao Ruyan and Ling Dong a few years ago, Ling Dong, his son-in-law, would have to greet him even if he became the Pill King!
But now, the situation was completely reversed!
When Qiao Ruyan, who was standing beside Mister Qiao, heard this, her pretty face turned snow-white. The moment she lowered her head slightly, a trace of humiliation flashed across her eyes!
But what was extremely complicated was that Qiao Ruyan's eyes also had a trace of anticipation! It was hard to describe this kind of complicated feeling!
A few years ago, Qiao Ruyan only had a very limited favorable impression of Ling Dong. This was something that she had won over after seeing Ling Dong's various extraordinary performances!
But in these two years, as Ling Dong's reputation rose and became the only young Pill King in the entire continent, his reputation had risen to its starting point. Qiao Qingyi's sense of superiority had completely disappeared!
In the past, Ling Dong was merely a good-for-nothing from a remote small family that made her lower her eyelids to look at him. And the marriage agreement that she hated was even more so a promise from her grandfather!
But now, the situation had completely reversed. Ling Dong had grown into an existence that she could only look up to. Moreover, she was also by Ling Dong's side, but her status before and after was as different as heaven and earth.
In the past, if Qiao Ruyan was by Ling Dong's side, she would be the official wife and the matriarch of the family. But now that she was by Ling Dong's side, according to the Qiao Family's wishes, she could be arranged by Ling Dong. Even if she was to be a servant, it didn't matter! Moreover, what made Qiao Ruyan the most uncomfortable was that Ling Dong actually brought an outrageously beautiful woman to see his fiancée!
This was not only because the Qiao Family had been picky about the marriage between Ling Dong and Qiao Ruyan. More importantly, the Qiao Family had taken the wrong side and done the wrong thing during the operation to eliminate the Royals.
In the entire Yaoguang Empire, only Pill King Ling Dong could save the Bright Sword Sect's Qiao Family! Otherwise, although the Clear Sword Sect's Sect Leader's surname was Qiao, in a few days, the Clear Sword Sect's Sect Leader would have to change his surname!
As for why the Qiao Family had lowered themselves to such a level, it was because of Ling Dong's current status that everyone looked up to. Especially the fact that Ling Dong was the retired emperor of the Alkaid Empire, his reputation had already been quietly spread among the upper echelons!
"This …"
Hearing Mister Qiao's words, Ling Dong also had a sudden feeling. However, as soon as he thought about it, Ling Dong understood. Ling Dong remembered what Feng Xuelei had purposely reminded him earlier. The Qiao Family had unintentionally gotten involved in the elimination of the Royals.
Of course, this big trouble in the eyes of the Qiao Family was only a matter of a single sentence in Ling Dong's eyes! This was the supreme power that came from controlling a large empire!
A single sentence could decide the orders of thousands of people, even if it was the fate of an extremely powerful existence!
Moreover, there was another reason why Ling Dong had stopped talking, and that was because of Qiu Qingyi who was holding his arm! It would be strange if Qiu Qingyi was happy that someone was giving her a maid, and a beautiful maid who could do anything at that!
However, Qiu Qingyi didn't do anything extreme. She only tightened her arm around Ling Dong's arm, revealing her concern for this matter!
With this feeling, Ling Dong suddenly thought that if the person beside him was Zi Yao, she would probably twist the soft flesh on his waist into all kinds of unimaginable shapes before she stopped!
"This … I don't think it's a good idea!" After hesitating for a while, Ling Dong said something ambiguous!
Mister Qiao immediately panicked when he heard that. Putting aside the great benefits that the Qiao Family would have in the future if they got close to Ling Dong, right now, the Qiao Family was involved in the elimination of the Royals, which was a taboo for everyone. He was still waiting for Ling Dong to save the Qiao Family!
When Qiao Ruyan heard Ling Dong's words, her eyes turned red and tears almost fell from her eyes! "Could it be that I, Qiao Ruyan, am going to be rejected even if I rush to be his maid?"
Half of Sect Leader Qiao's hair had turned white, but he stopped the anxious Mister Qiao. Then, he said to Ling Dong, "Nephew Ling, I was in seclusion a few years ago, so the big matter between you and Ruyan was delayed. It's also my Qiao Family's fault!"
Sect Leader Qiao said this very straightforwardly! He was just short of saying that Mister Qiao didn't know what was good for him!
"However, I've been wanting to make up for it since then, and you've been training outside. I've sent letters to your in-laws more than ten times, but you've always been away! But now, this matter can't be delayed any longer!
My Ruyan is in the prime of her life, and she's been taught well these years! Putting aside how virtuous she is in running the house, she'll have no problem serving tea and serving her husband's family!
That's why I'm here today! I'll send Ruyan to your side to serve you first. When Pill King Ling is free, invite me to the Ling family and settle this matter! "
In the end, Sect Leader Qiao continued, "When I came, I informed my in-laws about this matter and obtained their approval! From today onwards, Ruyan will be in your care. If there's anything wrong with her, you can discipline her however you want! "
In fact, there was something that neither Sect Leader Qiao nor Mister Qiao said out loud!
They had to give Qiao Ruyan to him even if they didn't want to!
Why?
It wasn't just because the Bright Sword Sect was in great trouble! Furthermore, as the young Pill King Ling Dong's power and influence grew with each passing day, Qiao Ruyan, who was originally engaged to this young Pill King, did not dare to marry him anymore!
Especially after Ling Dong became the emperor emeritus of the Yaoguang Empire, no one dared to marry Qiao Ruyan!
Think about it, who would dare to steal a pill king's wife? Even if the pill king didn't like her, a single word from him could turn you into ashes. Who would dare to marry her?
Therefore, if Ling Dong didn't marry her and they didn't send her to him, Qiao Ruyan's fate would probably be that of an unmarried maiden!
Hearing Sect Leader Qiao's words, Ling Dong was stunned. Especially when Sect Leader Qiao didn't mention a single word about the Bright Sword Sect's current troubles. Ling Dong couldn't help but look at these people in a higher light!
If Sect Leader Qiao immediately asked Ling Dong to solve the Bright Sword Sect's problems after giving Qiao Ruyan to Ling Dong as a servant, Ling Dong would only reject Qiao Ruyan who delivered herself to his doorstep!
Looking at the calm Sect Leader Qiao, the anxious Mister Qiao, and the resentful Qiao Ruyan, Ling Dong suddenly had the urge to laugh out loud!
Life is such a wonderful thing!
In his previous life, Ling Dong was abnormally down and out, and the engagement was broken off!
Even in this life, Ling Dong had been looked down upon by the Qiao family. If it wasn't for the death of Bi Pengzhuo brought about by Mister Qiao, in addition to Ling Dong's unexpected performance, which made Mister Qiao give up on the idea of breaking off the engagement, Ling Dong would have been humiliated again!
But now, everything was reversed! The Qiao Family that broke off the engagement in his previous life was begging him now, and they even sent the pearl of the Qiao Family to him as a servant.
No matter if it was for himself, his father, grandfather, or the family, it was enough to gain face!
This kind of exhilaration and venting of anger was incomparable! So many days and nights in her previous life, the resentment she had for the matter of breaking off the engagement had disappeared completely at this moment!
Lowering his head, Ling Dong nodded and said, "Sect Leader Qiao is right. This matter cannot be delayed any longer! Let Ruyan stay by my side for now! But … "
Hearing the word 'but', the Qiao Family members who had just heaved a sigh of relief became nervous again!
"But I have some important matters to attend to recently. When the situation in the capital stabilizes, I will have to go on a long trip, and it will be to a dangerous place. Naturally, I can't bring Ruyan along!
It just so happens that I am not at home for a long time, and my father and grandfather lack someone to serve them. In a few days, I will arrange for someone to send Ruyan to the Ling family. After I finish this important matter and return to the Ling family, we will talk about other matters! "Ling Dong said.
Hearing this, Qiao Ruyan looked disappointed, but Sect Leader Qiao and Mister Qiao were overjoyed!
Putting everything else aside, just sending Qiao Ruyan to the Ling Family and serving her filial piety was enough to determine Qiao Ruyan's status. Even if she wasn't the wife of the Ling Family in the future, she definitely wouldn't be a servant like what they said!
"That's for the best!" Sect Leader Qiao glanced at Qiao Ruyan and said, "Ruyan, from today onwards, you are a member of the Ling family. Remember, no matter what you do, you have to think about the Ling family and Pill King Ling. Remember, you are a member of the Ling family! This … is the way of a wife! "
Hearing Sect Leader Qiao's words, Qiao Ruyan was secretly depressed! At the same time, Sect Leader Qiao's words made Qiu Qingyi ponder!
Other people's important matters in their lives were all sent to their doorsteps in a lavish ceremony, but for her …
But thinking about her fiancé, who was worshipped by everyone when he was mentioned, she somewhat understood!
"Pill King Ling, you are busy, so I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell …"
While Sect Leader Qiao was talking, Mister Qiao suddenly interrupted him in a low voice and reminded him, "Father, you should mention that matter to Pill King Ling!"
Ling Dong raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that his future father-in-law, Mister Qiao, was too impatient.
To Ling Dong's surprise, Sect Leader Qiao also felt that Mister Qiao's suggestion was wrong, so he nodded instead.
When he was about to speak, Sect Leader Qiao suddenly glanced at Qiu Qingyi and his granddaughter, Qiao Ruyan, and said, "Well, Pill King Ling, could you please ask this girl to leave us for a while? Ruyan, you go to the side and admire the flowers. I have something to say to Pill King Ling! "
Hearing that, Ling Dong was even more surprised. Was it necessary to ask Qiu Qingyi and Qiao Ruyan to leave just to ask for his family's forgiveness?
Although surprised, Ling Dong still patted Qiu Qingyi's hand lightly. She understood and took the initiative to ask Qiao Ruyan to go to the side. Now Qiu Qingyi understood that the woman in front of her was Ling Dong's real fiancée who was engaged to him!
Seeing that Qiu Qingyi and Qiao Ruyan had left, Sect Leader Qiao said to Ling Dong, "My granddaughter Qiao Ruyan is a little strange. I need to remind Pill King Ling!"
"Ruyan is a little strange? What happened? " Hearing that Sect Leader Qiao was not asking for the Qiao Family, but Qiao Ruyan was a little strange, Ling Dong was very surprised!
What surprised Ling Dong even more was that Sect Leader Qiao's old face turned slightly red when he heard Ling Dong's question!
