Iron-hearted Queen
"Grandpa, I'm sorry Grandpa, I won't say it again, Grandpa was wronged by Qianqian." She cried out to Gong Zhen with her arms wrapped around Ling Shuangmei.
Knowing that Lao Yezi is in a bad mood, Gong Hui and Ling Ruer didn't dare to plead with Gong Zhen either. The two exchanged a glance, clearly seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Gong Zhen limped into the house with his cane. He really didn't want to stay here any longer, or he would be driven mad. "Hui, follow me over here, I have something to tell you."
Gong Hui looked at Ling Ruo'er with a difficult expression, his eyes filled with guilt, but he still followed behind Gong Zhen, yet in his heart, he was still worried about Ling Shanmei's child.
"Mei'er, let me take a look, how serious is the injury?" Ling Ruer was now completely focused on Ling Shanmei and didn't notice Gong Hui's gaze. If she had noticed it, she would have felt ridiculed too.
Her own daughter was beaten by her father, but she didn't utter a single complaint, still listening to the old man's words. This kind of person is really too weak.
"Mom, I'm fine." Ling Shuangmei, who had undergone special training, felt a slight pain at first, but then it got better. Compared to the punishment in the pavilion, this little injury was not worth mentioning.
Lifting up the right sleeve, a slightly thick red mark can be clearly seen, with a hint of purple, enough to show that the other party had used a great deal of force.
Hatred spread throughout her body, Ling Ru's hands trembled, and her heart ached secretly. She didn't expect that old man Gong Zhen would not even consider kinship, beating his own granddaughter like this, without any human feelings.
Yes, he certainly has no human feelings. Otherwise, how could he possibly know that after Shui Yingyu's death, he didn't even go to take a look, and instead looked for the next candidate? How could he possibly know that he had been dealing with Shui Jingyu all along without caring about him?
It's myself who is foolish, after being in this palace for so many years, I still haven't truly seen the coldness of the old master, and foolishly believed that the old master would soften his heart because of kinship.
In his heart, apart from power and money, everything can be used, what true feelings does he have for his own son, Gong Hui?
Ling Jiaoqian also saw the red mark, covering her mouth with a look of shock in her eyes, not expecting Grandfather to be so ruthless, if it were herself... thinking about this, she couldn't help but shudder.
"I'm fine, just need to apply some medicine." Ling Shuangmei didn't show any surprise, as for the old man, she had already seen through him. The old man's heart was cold and unfeeling, and the phrase "iron stone heart" suited him perfectly.
"How can Grandfather be so cruel! Doesn't he have any...!" The words suddenly stopped, and Ling Shuangmei covered Ling Jiaoqian's mouth with her hand, ignoring the pain in her arm, not letting her make a sound.
The previous sentence has already touched the old man's bottom line. If this sentence is heard by Gong Zhen again, Ling Jiaoqian will be close to death. She can keep Ling Jiaoqian safe once, but not necessarily next time.
The old man wouldn't openly come to kill him, but over the years he had a few good relationships with some gangs under his command, and sending one or two killers to secretly take care of Ling Jiao would be easy as pie.
"Qianqian, stop throwing your little tantrum. Your sister can protect you this time, but next time may not be so lucky. Use your brain for once." Ling Ruer gazed at Ling Jiaoqian's discontented face and sighed inwardly, wondering if she had indeed spoiled her rotten.
Ling Jiaoqian looked at her sister covering herself, and her mother with a disappointed face beside her. She felt a pang in her heart, shook off Ling Shanmei's hand, and ran outside.
"Ah! Qianqian!" Just as Ling Shuangmei was about to chase after her, she was suddenly pulled back by Ling Ruer, and looked back in confusion.
