Chapter 301
For a moment, everyone in the room looked at Du Lingfeng.
Du Lingfeng didn't often talk to people, and faced with this situation, he became even more withdrawn and shy. He glanced at his parents, who were full of anticipation, then at Luo Shuiyao, who looked bewildered. He was stunned for a long moment, unable to utter a word.
Ultimately, the Right Prime Minister's wife knew her son best and could see through his awkwardness. With her usual gentle smile on her face, she stepped forward and soothed him softly, "Don't be afraid, Ling'er. Mother and Father just wanted to ask you, who is the sister you're talking about?"
Perhaps the comfort from the Right Prime Minister's wife worked. Du Lingfeng lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he slowly spread his hands to his mother.
The Right Prime Minister's wife looked at his hand stretched out in front of her with a bewildered look on her face. Not quite understanding what he meant, she asked, "Ling'er, what do you want?"
Du Lingfeng still didn't say anything, but just stared at the side of her sleeve and remained silent.
The Right Prime Minister's wife followed his gaze and took a moment to react. Then she calmly took out the bracelet from her sleeve, tentatively handed it to him, and asked, "Is this what you want?"
Du Lingfeng nodded silently, then slowly put the bracelet back into his palm, then turned his gaze to Luo Shuiyao who had been looking at him, and walked over.
Luo Shuiyao was filled with doubts, secretly wondering: What is he going to do? But at this time, the eyes of the Right Prime Minister's wife and the Right Prime Minister were fixed on this side. She suppressed the urge to retreat and just watched Du Lingfeng approach.
Du Lingfeng walked up to her, spread out his hands, and handed the bracelet to her again, just like last time, as if he would not give up unless she accepted it.
Not to mention the two couples in the hall staring at each other with differing expressions, just look at Ye Yunzhou standing behind Luo Shuiyao. His face has completely darkened, as if covered with a layer of frost. He stares coldly at the Right Prime Minister, Du Lingfeng, with a chill in his eyes that seems to freeze the air.
Ye Yunzhou was really furious. Looking at the scene in front of him, he was extremely furious and wanted to go forward and pull Du Lingfeng away immediately.
Here, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery keenly sensed the change in his son's aura and gave him a calm yet warning look. Ye Yunzhou lowered his eyes slightly, forcing himself to look away from the glaring scene, trying to calm his inner irritation.
If Du Lingfeng were a normal man, he would have rushed forward and pushed him away without hesitation. But this man was mentally handicapped, and if he argued with him, it would only make him look petty. Besides, Luo Shuiyao hadn't reacted yet, so he could only endure it.
The scene fell into silence for a moment. Du Lingfeng just held up the bracelet and looked at Luo Shuiyao stubbornly, as if he was not going to give in.
The wife of the Right Prime Minister only reacted at this time. Seeing this scene, she was afraid that the situation was too embarrassing and would hurt her son's self-esteem, so she hurried forward to smooth things over: "Ling'er, Yaoyao doesn't like this. A girl like Yaoyao doesn't like such heavy objects. When we get home, I will pick out a few pieces suitable for girls to wear. Leave this to me." As she said that, she reached out to take the beads from his hand.
Du Lingfeng closed his palms slightly. After hearing his mother's words, he looked at the Right Prime Minister's wife seriously and uttered a few words: "No, she likes it."
His words seemed like a rebuttal, yet they were calm and without a ripple. Like the sounds of a marionette, they were completely flat. Apart from the Right Prime Minister's wife, who knew him well and noticed his displeasure, even the Right Prime Minister didn't catch the meaning.
The Right Prime Minister's wife immediately sensed his displeasure and, fearing she would upset her son, quickly changed her tone, saying, "Okay, she likes it. But this necklace isn't a good gift for a girl. How about we give her something else?"
Du Lingfeng was just slow to react, not stupid. Hearing his mother's words, and recalling the several times Luo Shuiyao hadn't taken the bracelet, he genuinely assumed she didn't like it. In an instant, his eyes, once as bright as stars, dimmed, his expression becoming listless. He whispered, "But...my sister likes it."
Luo Shuiyao finally understood what he said. She glanced at the Right Prime Minister and his wife, who were looking at Du Lingfeng with distressed expressions, then glanced at the dejected Du Lingfeng, and then asked tentatively, "Do you have a younger sister?"
When Du Lingfeng heard her talking, his originally depressed expression did not change. He just turned to look at her, his eyes still downcast, and said, "Sister, mother said yes."
The Right Prime Minister's wife looked at her stubborn and dejected son, her heart suddenly gripped, and she vaguely recalled some of the past. Her lips trembled slightly, and she murmured, "Sister, Ling'er, you..." The words turned into a sigh on the tip of her tongue.
The Right Prime Minister had already hurried forward. Seeing his wife's expression, he understood his son's vague thoughts. He wanted to embrace his wife and comfort her, but the situation was special. After a moment's hesitation, he simply raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder.
The Right Prime Minister's wife felt her husband's comfort, and the tears she had been holding back burst out of her eyes. But in the blink of an eye, she raised her hand and quickly wiped them away. Fighting back the tears, she softly called out to her son, "Ling'er, I'm a little thirsty. Can you go out and find Abao and bring me a cup of tea?"
The moment Du Lingfeng heard his mother's slightly tearful voice, he turned his gaze to the Right Prime Minister's wife. Seeing his mother's tears welling up in his eyes, he subconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes filled with bewilderment. He didn't know how to speak, and his face flushed red. After hearing his mother's instructions, he breathed a sigh of relief, assuming his mother was crying out of thirst. He nodded quickly, a rare "yes," and then walked out.
Outside the courtyard, A Bao was peering inside, but his vantage point prevented him from seeing or hearing what was happening. Recalling his master's furious expression when he'd come out to question the situation, A Bao felt a surge of panic, constantly blaming himself: "What a rotten idea! His young master doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, how could he possibly ask for marriage? It's all my fault. What should I do now?"
Just as he was stamping his feet anxiously, he suddenly saw his young master coming out. A Bao hurried to meet him and asked, "Young Master, why are you out?"
Du Lingfeng looked at Abao who was coming towards him, opened his mouth, and his mind suddenly went blank. He couldn't remember how to convey his mother's request for tea.
A Bao just blurted out this question. He was preoccupied with the situation in the room and didn't expect the young master to give any valuable response.
