Chapter 36
A few short words, like a stone breaking the sky
In the end, Ling Ting was still a young man who hadn’t been in the world for a long time, and even though he had some sophistication, he was far from being able to cover up his heart at any time
At this time, his eyes were full of shock, and the heart of being broken through the hidden secrets of the heart, actually did not have the courage and Ling Jingshu’s pair of bright and compelling eyes, subconsciously hung down his head
After Ling Jingshu threw down this sentence, she also stopped talking and only looked at Ling Ting with a smile on her face
The room was silent
Only the subtle sound of the candle flame burning lingered in his ears
Ling Ting’s heart was also like the candle flame, flickering and wavering
It was only after a moment that he opened his mouth in a pretense of composure and said, “Did sister specially call me over just to say these useless words?”
Ling Jingshu looked deeply at Ling Ting, “This is not useless nonsense, but is closely related to big brother’s future
Hasn’t big brother ever thought carefully about the future?”
Why not!
This question had been sinking in from time to time
But there were some things that could not be wished for just by thinking about them
Ling Ting smiled mockingly and said frankly, “All people have dignity and ambition, and no one wants to be willing to be inferior to others
However, I was born a concubine, my mother died early, no one shelter
You and A Xiao still have grandmother favor, A 雬 is the heart of my mother and father
I’m just a commoner son, I have no talent in reading, and I’m lucky to have the honor of being a student in the future
The chances of winning the examination for lifer are really slim”If I can get a good marriage, I may be able to capitalize on the Yue family’s reputation and have a chance to turn my life around
I’m already sixteen this year, and my mother and father have not yet arranged a marriage for me, clearly not taking me as a commoner son to heart
In the future, even if they want to marry me, they probably won’t pick any good relatives”
Speaking of this, a hint of resentment flowed from Ling Ting’s tone
Perhaps it was because he had been suppressed for too long during the weekdays, even though he knew that the Ling Jingshu in front of him was not the best person to talk to, Ling Ting still could not help but continue, “I have no one to ask for help in the house, no one to favor me, so what qualifications do I have to think about planning for the future?
What’s the difference between you asking me this and mocking me?”
When he said the last sentence, there was some gnashing of teeth as if he had been exposed
His upright and handsome face was also a bit distorted
Ling Ting did have his pitiful moments
A child without a mother is like grass
Their siblings were the first born, and they had Old Madam Ling to look after them, so their lives in the Ling residence were not too bad
Ling Ting did not have this good fortune, Ling fifth master because of Auntie Xia’s year thing and anger to the eldest son, treat him extra cold
Li’s mind is vicious and ruthless, not only refused to let go of their siblings, but also did not forget to deal with Ling Ting
Deliberately for Ling Ting said a “good” marriage
The other party is the daughter of a military general, a serious first-born, but also has a large dowry, said all good
But this woman’s nature is slutty, unchaste before marriage, also restless after marriage
And some of the hands, very shrewd
Poor Ling Ting, tolerate the top of the green hat of a nuisance to spend the day, in front of people almost can not raise their heads
Now that she had been reborn and returned, not only did she have to change her own and Ling Xiao’s fate, the fate of those around her would also be affected, very different from her previous lifeI didn’t mean to mock and sarcasm you”
Ling Jingshu lightly threw down another thunderbolt, “I am sending a brocade future to big brother
It only depends on whether big brother has the guts to accept it”
Embroidered future?
Ling Ting’s gaze flickered repeatedly, obviously extremely unsettled inside
However, he did not rush to get to the bottom of the matter and listened patiently
Ling Jingshu, however, intentionally sold her story and pulled the topic away, “How did Auntie Xia die back then, does big brother still remember?”
Ling Ting pursed his lips
How could he not remember?
Auntie Xia died five years ago after falling ill
At that time, he was already eleven years old, and had already reached the age of remembering
He watched with his own eyes as his birth mother, whose face was as beautiful as a flower, became sickly and emaciated day after day, washing his face in tears all day long, hoping with all his heart that his father would come to see her
Unfortunately, Mr Ling was so annoyed by Ling Xiao’s fall and blindness that his heart was as cold as iron, and he never came to see Auntie Xia again
Auntie Xia died of depression
At the moment of her death, he was the only one kneeling by the bed
Crying swollen eyes, crying mute voice
Thinking of that day, Ling Ting’s eyes quietly reddened
Ling Jingshu’s voice rang in his ears, ”Speaking of which, this is actually a muddled account
A Xiao’s eyes were blinded, and father failed to discover the real murderer behind the scene, and took his anger out on Auntie Xia
Poor Aunt Xia was unable to defend herself and died in an unjust manner ” Ling Ting’s whole body shook and he raised his head in a hugh manner, “What did you say?”What I said, big brother has heard and understood clearly”
Ling Jingshu said slowly and clearly, “Back then, the matter of Ah Xiao’s fall and injury had nothing to do with Auntie Xia at all
It was all Li who was secretly playing tricks
She secretly instructed someone to make the ground next to the wigwam slippery and easy to fall on, and then had someone lead A Xiao over
A Xiao fell and hit his head on the rockery and was injured, all in her calculation
At that time, the person in charge was Auntie Xia, and Li was in the courtyard to recuperate her baby
No one would have suspected her”She both harmed Ah Xiao and framed Auntie Xia, getting rid of the trouble in her heart in one fell swoop
Afterward, she gave birth to a son who won all of his father’s favor and logically took over the Fifth House, killing several birds with one stone!”
Ling Ting’s chest rose and fell, his face flushed with anger, barely maintaining his composure: “All of this is just your speculation, you simply do not have any concrete evidence that can prove that it was Li who harmed A Xiao and framed Auntie Xia for the crime”
Ling Jingshu tugged at the corner of her lips, “It’s true that I don’t have any evidence, everything is just my guess
You might as well think about it, who is the biggest beneficiary in this matter?
Whoever benefits the most is the murderer behind the scenes
Extrapolating from this line of thought, it must be Li without a doubt”Think about it again, what benefit could Aunt Xia have from plotting against Ah Xiao?
At that time, Li had already passed away and had given birth to a son who was the first son
If Aunt Xia had harmed Ah Xiao, you, the commoner son, would not have become the first son
Let’s take a step back and assume that Auntie Xia did have this in mind
At that time, Auntie Xia was in charge, once any accident happened, it would be suspected to her head
If Aunt Xia was a little bit smarter, she wouldn’t have chosen that time to make her move”Over the years, I’ve been thinking over and over again about what happened back then, and after thinking about it, I’ve finally figured out the inner workings of it
Big brother must have thought hard about it many times as well!
You may not have not suspected Li in your heart, only that you suffered from a lack of evidence, so you did not dare to show it at all
Lest she notices and then strikes against you!”
Ling Ting: “” Ling Ting deadpanned and bit his lips, hatred shooting out from his eyes
There was no need to say anything, his expression already indicated everything!
Ling Jingshu had been paying close attention to the change in Ling Ling’s expression, and slowly spoke again, “Li’s heart is ruthless, and now that she has gathered father’s heart not to mention her favored young son
Our siblings are certainly a thorn in her side, and you, the commoner son, are also a thorn in her flesh
If she wants to deal with you, just doing something about your marriage will be enough”
These words spoke to the most hidden worries in Ling Ting’s heart
Ling Jingshu looked straight at Ling Ting, “Big brother, don’t you want to avenge Auntie Xia?
Don’t you want to become the pillar of the fifth house?
There is the best opportunity placed in front of you right now”
Ling Ting took a deep breath and fixed his mind, “There’s no need to beat around the bush
What exactly do you want me to do?”
