Quick Wear: A Newbie Goes to Pet Her Husband

Chapter 153 Detaining Ling Nianxiao

"Dad, those two people have very high status and fame in the capital." Lin Qingyan cautiously brought up a topic, as if testing something.

"Oh? Someone of status? You don't even know my Nian Xiao, and you dare to act like a hooligan in the street. You must not be a girl from a good family." Xiao Ran frowned slightly and continued with what Lin Qingyan said, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction and disdain in his tone.

Seeing this, Lin Qingyan deliberately revealed a timid and fearful expression, wanting to speak but stopping, as if she was afraid of saying the wrong thing and offending others. This submissive attitude made Xiao Ran feel angry.

He slammed the table, stood up suddenly, and began to pace back and forth in the hall, angrily saying: "What's going on? Is it that my Prime Minister's Mansion failed to give you enough support and confidence? You are the son-in-law of my Prime Minister's Mansion after all, how can you be so timid and afraid to even reveal the identities of those two evil women? How can I entrust my precious son to you with peace of mind if you are like this!"

Xiao Ran became more and more excited and his voice became more and more severe. He stared at Lin Qingyan with eyes wide open, full of disappointment and anger. Lin Qingyan lowered her head and said nothing, silently enduring Xiao Ran's rebuke, but secretly thinking about how to deal with it next.

Seeing Lin Qingyan's behavior, Ling Nianxiao couldn't help but feel confused and bewildered. After all, it was she who proposed to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion! Now she was so shy, and Ling Nianxiao's father was so angry that he kept pacing around in the house.

Seeing this, Ling Nianxiao quickly stood up and tried to calm his emotional father: "Daddy, Daddy, please be patient." Then he quickly walked towards Xiao Ran and gently pulled him back to the main seat.

"What happened? Huh?" At this moment, a majestic yet gentle female voice suddenly sounded. Lin Qingyan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who came was her mother-in-law, Ling Yao, who had hurried back to the mansion without even having time to change out of her court dress.

As soon as Ling Yao came to court, she learned that Lin Qingyan and her beloved son had returned home. The anxious mother, who had been looking forward to seeing her child for a long time, could not wait to rush to the central hall. However, when she arrived, she was shocked to see that her husband was restless because of anger. So she hurried to her husband's side and gently comforted him.

Lin Qingyan watched Ling Yao walk by her without even looking at her, as if Xiao Ran was the only one in her eyes. Lin Qingyan thought to herself, "Well, I will act like her in the future. It seems that I have found a role model for doting on my husband!"

"What's wrong? Xiao'er." Ling Yao's soft and concerned voice was clearly heard by everyone in the room.

At this moment, my father looked shy, and Ling Nianxiao beside him quickly gave a look, and the servants in the room immediately understood and quietly retreated. At the same time, Lin Qingyan also lowered her head and closed her ears.

"You... there are other people here, how can you call me like that?" Xiao Ran lowered his voice and muttered softly, as if he was afraid of being heard by Lin Qingyan. However, he had never expected that everyone in this room was skilled in martial arts, and what he just said was also heard clearly by others.

"It's okay. Tell me who made you angry just now." After asking, Ling Yao looked at Lin Qingyan meaningfully.

"It's because our son ran into gangsters on the way back. I also want to ask you, after being an official for so many years, why can't you protect your son?" These words belittled Lin Qingyan even more. What they meant was that Ling Nianxiao had never suffered such humiliation before she got married, but now that she is married, she is being bullied. Isn't this just how useless Lin Qingyan is?

As his wife, she couldn't even protect the son of the prime minister of the time, and allowed him to be bullied and insulted outside. Doesn't this just show that she is incompetent?

Lin Qingyan naturally understood the deep meaning, but she didn't dare to speak out to refute. Instead, Ling Yao, who was standing by, stared at Lin Qingyan thoughtfully after listening, and then asked about the whole story.

Seeing this, Lin Qingyan finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Mom, Dad, please calm down. This is what actually happened..."

After Lin Qingyan finished her story, Ling Yao once again looked at her son and husband, then slowly stood up, walked to the door with her hands behind her back, and said, "Come with me to the study."

Lin Qingyan quickly stood up and followed Ling Yao into the study. When she had just closed the door, she suddenly felt a strong and sharp wind coming from behind!

Lin Qingyan reacted quickly, bending down and rolling backwards to avoid Ling Yao's attack. Then, she stood up quickly, staring at Ling Yao, only to see that the other party had no intention of stopping and continued to launch a fierce attack on her.

Facing Ling Yao's continuous attacks, Lin Qingyan gradually realized: Ling Yao had already realized that she was not the original master, but seemed to be dissatisfied and resentful that she failed to protect Ling Nianxiao. This emotion was not only reflected in Ling Yao's tentative moves, but also contained in the strength and speed of each attack.

After realizing this, Lin Qingyan began to consciously resist some of the attacks and deliberately exposed her flaws, allowing herself to take a few hits. Doing so could both confuse Ling Yao and show a certain degree of weakness, which might help ease the current tense atmosphere.

"Humph! Tell me, who are you?"

The exact same statement emerged again, but Ling Yao was the prime minister, so of course he would not easily believe Lin Qingyan's words.

She thought about it carefully and made a decision that made Lin Qingyan very uncomfortable.

"Since you intend to kill Minister Li, then wait until you succeed before coming to the mansion to pick up Nian Xiao."

Lin Qingyan was embarrassed when she heard this, but after receiving a look from Ling Yao that said "are you not capable of this", she immediately changed her expression and said: "I promise to complete the task."

"Oh? Guarantee to complete the task? What does that mean?" Ling Yao quickly caught the loophole in her words.

"Oh, mother, among those two people, Minister Li has a daughter with a dog brain, which is not a big deal. But that Ye Jianrong is the niece of the current Empress Feng. I am not saying that I can't deal with her, but..."

"Hey, you are much smarter than her. You don't have to tell me that I will be the one to go there. If you dare to bully my son, I will make sure she cannot leave the capital!"

The cruelty in the words shocked Lin Qingyan. Only then did she look straight at Ling Yao, the most ruthless person in the novel.

"Okay, mother, I'll trouble you two to take care of Nian Xiao at home."

"Humph! What bullshit! This is my son."

It’s all over. My dear husband was detained by my mother-in-law.
