The older brother and sister-in-law exchanged glances, finally realizing they'd been neglecting their sensible, obedient eldest daughter, and quickly nodded in agreement.
Ling Chengyan chuckled and said, "Big brother, just pick up and drop off Hongling a few times to make an impression. If any trouble arises again, tell Hongling not to hold back—if she breaks some bones, I'll handle it for her."
Back in the provincial capital that night, Ling Chengyan told Wang Liansheng about Hongling's situation.
Wang Liansheng reached out to hug his wife, saying softly, "Thank goodness you took care of her so attentively."
Ling Chengyan patted him, pretending to be annoyed, "She's my niece too, you know!"
Wang Liansheng leaned his head against his wife's shoulder and chuckled, prompting Ling Chengyan to give him two playful slaps on the back, and soon she was laughing too.
With Hongling's matter handed over to Wang Liansheng, Ling Chengyan felt reassured.
