Quick Wear: A Newbie Goes to Pet Her Husband

Chapter 152 Xiao Ran captures the details

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ling Nianxiao's father Xiao Ran personally went out to greet them.

He led them to the central hall, but ignored Lin Qingyan. Instead, he held his son's hand tightly and walked towards the seat above together.

Lin Qingyan didn't care about it. She sat quietly in her seat below.

Xiao Ran gazed at his precious son, who was thinner than before, his heart filled with endless pity and love, and all his concern was expressed on his face without reservation.

He frowned and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Why have you lost so much weight again, my son? Is she not good to you?"

Xiao Ran's words were frank and straightforward, as if he wanted Lin Qingyan to hear them.

However, he does have the capital and confidence to do so.

After hearing his father's question, Ling Nianxiao quickly glanced at Lin Qingyan. Seeing that she did not feel embarrassed or unhappy, he turned to look at his father and answered firmly: "Dad, please rest assured. With mother here and you as a backing, how dare she treat the child like this?"

"Hmph! That's hard to say. This is the tenth time I've seen her since you got married. Who knows what kind of life you've been living in her house in private?"

As Xiao Ran spoke, he glared at Lin Qingyan with his eyes wide open, as if he had witnessed with his own eyes the scene of Lin Qingyan cruelly abusing her beloved young son.

Lin Qingyan couldn't help feeling a little guilty when he glared at her. She subconsciously looked at Ling Nianxiao beside her and touched the tip of her nose with a slightly trembling hand.

However, none of this escaped Xiao Ran's sharp gaze. He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought, "It seems that there is some unspeakable secret between these two people."

At this time, Ling Nianxiao said, "Dad, don't make random guesses. My wife treats me very well. Oh, by the way, where is mother now?" His tone was relaxed, but his eyes flickered.

Ling Nianxiao gave such a brief explanation without much excuse. In fact, it was because he himself was unsure whether Lin Qingyan would really treat him well in the future.

After all, he couldn't let his parents, who were always thinking about him, feel disappointed. As for how to eliminate the prejudice of the two elders against Lin Qingyan, that was not something he needed to worry about.

He didn't want to dwell on this topic too much, so he put it aside and started talking about other things.

This move naturally attracted Xiao Ran's attention, but despite this, he still responded to Ling Nianxiao's question: "Recently, Her Majesty has been leaving court later than before. I guess there must be something important to discuss."

Then, Xiao Ran briefly described the recent situation at home. After all, he always remembered what Ling Yao had told him - whether it was family affairs or court affairs, try to avoid revealing too much information to Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan pricked up her ears and heard Xiao Ran's words, keenly aware of the subtle changes in the political situation.

Her mind worked as fast as lightning, constantly going back to the plot of the original work in her mind, trying to find events that corresponded to the current season.

On the other side, when Xiao Ran was talking to his son, his eyes never completely left Lin Qingyan.

At this time, he noticed that Lin Qingyan narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought, as if she was thinking about something important. So Xiao Ran decided to break the silence and called Lin Qingyan's name: "Xiao Lin, did our conversation just now make you feel left out?"

Xiao Ran's attitude towards Lin Qingyan maintained a noble and elegant temperament, but also revealed a hint of indifference and alienation. His words and deeds revealed an indescribable majesty, but this courtesy was not sincere, but more like a formal courtesy. However, under this superficial politeness, Xiao Ran hid a certain scrutiny and vigilance towards Lin Qingyan.

(In terms of address, the author actually did refer to many ways of addressing his son-in-law by his father-in-law during the creation process. However, in the end, he chose to adopt a more modern and easy-to-understand address, which is not only closer to the readers' real life, but also avoids the cumbersome feeling brought by being too rigidly bound by traditional etiquette. After all, in an online novel, readers tend to pay more attention to the attractiveness of the plot itself, rather than being overly entangled in some details. Of course, if readers have different opinions or suggestions on this, the author will humbly accept and improve them.)

"No, no, Daddy. Qingyan encountered some hooligans on the way here with Nian Xiao today." Lin Qingyan waved her hands quickly, fearing that she would arouse the dissatisfaction or suspicion of her father-in-law.

She brought this up on purpose in order to divert her father-in-law's attention so that he would focus on Ye Jianrong and Li Baoli. In this way, when her mother-in-law came back from court, she would be able to find an opportunity to talk to her actively.

Sure enough, Xiao Ran noticed the humility in Lin Qingyan's tone and the affectionate way she addressed her son, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He raised an eyebrow at his son, then carefully looked him up and down, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Ling Nianxiao shook his head gently and replied, "I'm fine, Dad, don't worry."

However, Xiao Ran's next words made everyone present burst into laughter.

He looked at Ling Nianxiao with a complicated expression and continued, "I mean, is that gangster okay? Didn't you beat him to death?"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Qingyan and Ling Nianxiao were both stunned, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Xiao Lan, Xiao Lu and several other servants standing by waiting to serve their master couldn't help but laugh. Obviously, they were also amused by Xiao Ran's humorous words.

Lin Qingyan raised her head and looked around. She was surprised to find that no one was afraid of Xiao Ran getting angry.

These people quickly adjusted their emotions, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are really amazing people!"

She thought that managing subordinates should be both kind and strict. These people obviously knew this well. They would not deliberately hide their emotions, but they would never be arrogant. Because of this, it was no wonder that Xiaolan and Xiaolu were so bold when they came to Lin Qingyan's house to interrupt their master's work.

At the same time, Xiao Ran also noticed something unusual. He saw that when Xiao Lan and Xiao Lu couldn't help laughing, they first raised their eyes to look at Lin Qingyan, and then moved their gaze to their beloved son, with fear in their eyes. This subtle movement aroused Xiao Ran's vigilance, and he began to wonder if there was any hidden meaning in it.
