So did she misunderstand Alvin from the start?
Ah, shit, this is awkward. Nangong Lin held her forehead.
After dinner, Nangong Lin made an excuse that it was late, so naturally she ended up staying at the Nangong Family ho.
Li Hui just nagged a little but didn’t really intend to kick Nangong Lin out. After saying a few words, she let it go and pulled Nangong Tiancheng upstairs for so gossip.
Li Hui wasn’t foolish. Even though Nangong Lin adamantly denied it, she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was no smoke without fire!
Even if it wasn’t that Nangong Lin liked Alvin, maybe Alvin liked Nangong Lin?
Otherwise, why would Nangong Lin suddenly ask about foreigners and princes?
The more Li Hui thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. So she had to drag Nangong Tiancheng for a gossip session, after all, it was about their child’s marriage.
Nangong Tiancheng was surprised when he heard, and couldn’t help but say, "So you suspect Alvin has sothing going on with Xiaolin?"
"What are you saying?" Li Hui rolled her eyes, "That’s your own daughter, how could you say such a thing? Besides, they have two legs!"
Nangong Tiancheng cleared his throat, "I’m just giving an example, big brother. So what’s their situation now?"
"Either Xiaolin likes Alvin, or Alvin likes Xiaolin, or maybe they’re already together! They’re probably trying to test our reaction!"
Faced with Li Hui’s statent, Nangong Tiancheng nodded seriously and, after thinking for a mont, said, "Isn’t this a good thing? Haven’t you always been worried about Xiaolin not finding a suitable match?"
"Suitable, my foot!" Li Hui looked at Nangong Tiancheng with displeasure, "Historically, daughters marry out. Do you really want her to marry off to B Country? It’s so far away, visiting would be exhausting."
"That’s not entirely true." Nangong Tiancheng replied sensibly, "With modern communications, the Royal Family has their private planes, it’s only a few hours’ journey."
"But it feels so far to ." Li Hui pouted, then suddenly said, "Wait, wasn’t Alvin interested in our fourth child?"
"That’s right!" Nangong Tiancheng rembered suddenly and slapped his forehead, "Last ti, he even took Xiaoran away."
"Yes, yes." Li Hui nodded vigorously, "Looks like I got it wrong, it must not be Alvin. So could there be soone else?"
The couple was confused, maybe Nangong Lin was just making things up.
As they were complaining, a servant hurriedly ca to report, "Master and Madam, sothing bad happened, the second young miss got burned!"
"What!!" Both widened their eyes at the sa ti.
"What happened?" Li Hui said as she started walking out, questioning along the way, "How could she get burned at ho?"
"The second miss went to the kitchen to get so water to drink, and accidentally knocked over a pot of bone soup next to the water dispenser." The servant reported urgently, "The soup spilled on her leg and it got burned."
Li Hui was sweating with anxiety, "Is it serious?"
"We just called the doctor." The servant wiped his sweat, "They’re checking the second miss downstairs right now."
"Hurry, hurry." Li Hui pulled Nangong Tiancheng along, her heart aching, unable to stop herself from scolding, "That careless girl is so clumsy every day!"
They rushed downstairs, where Nangong Lin was screaming, "Aah, aah, aah, gently, gently!"
The loud noise made everyone in the room tense.
"What happened?" Li Hui rushed to Nangong Lin and saw her thigh was red, with blisters forming.
Li Hui beca anxious at once, "How did you manage this? Getting burned just while eating at ho!"
