Chapter 37
Ling Jingshu’s eyes flickered, her expression bland: “What I should have said has been said very clearly, with big brother’s intelligence, he should have realized it long ago”
What Ling Jingshu said was not obscure and difficult to understand, as long as one thought a little harder, it was not difficult to comprehend the meaning
Ling Ting pursed his lips, his color changing under the candlelightLi is our common enemy
With our current power, it is not easy to deal with Li
It can only be done from Li’s greatest reliance which is also her greatest weakness”
Ling Jingshu said slowly, “A child as young as six years old may fall while walking, choke on his meal, accidentally fall into the water while walking by the pool, or learn to ride a horse when he is curious and non-comedic, only to have the tame horse suddenly go berserk
All these accidents can kill a child
The underlings take good care of them, there are always times when they can’t look after them
Big brother, don’t you think so?”
Ling Ting: “” Ling Ting drew in a breath of cool air and looked at Ling Jingshu as if he was looking at a complete stranger
Was this still the gentle and obedient Ling Jingshu?
Speaking of these sinister and ruthless tactics so lightly, one’s heart bubbled with chills
Ling Jingshu did not look at Ling Ting and seemed to be talking to herself, “Li’s ability to win her father’s favor is only because she has a son
If she doesn’t have a son, she will be heartbroken and lose her greatest strength
Even if she wants to have another one in the future, she may not have the fortune to get a male in one fell swoop, and even more so, she may not be able to raise him safely”I’ll take Ah Xiao to the capital for treatment, and if I cure his eyes, I’ll send him to the best academy to study
If Mrs Wei can’t cure his eyes, I’ll search for another famous doctor
In short, we siblings will not return to Dingzhou”Father only has one son left, even if he is a concubine, no one will dare to underestimate you anymore
In the future, the family business of the fifth house will all be yours”This family business is right in front of you, it only depends on whether you have the guts to take it”
Ling Ting’s chest rose and fell violently, his right hand, which was tightly clenched into a fist, trembled lightly, and the complex expression on his face was indescribable
After Ling Jingshu finished speaking these words, she stopped talking
After a few moments, Ling Ting finally made up his mind and let out a long breath, “You and Ah Xiao really don’t intend to return to Dingzhou?”
Without waiting for Ling Jingshu to answer, he went on, “Perhaps you are just here to cajole me, and when I really move to lay my hands on you, then you will leak this matter to father
At that time, I, the commoner son who dared to murder his brother, will not be able to escape death
Only you siblings will be left in the fifth house
This move is a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone!”
Ling Jingshu actually did not deny it, but instead smiled a little, “Big brother is indeed thoughtful and prudent
All these years, big brother has been biding his light and pretending to be mediocre, but he has actually hidden it from everyone”
The words had already been said, and there was nothing more to cover up
Ling Ting simply went out on a limb and frankly admitted, “You’re right
In fact, I have long been secretly suspecting that Li was the mastermind back then
However, I don’t have evidence on the one hand, and on the other hand, I’m a man of few words, so speaking out rashly would only invite trouble”I am indeed very moved by what you just said
However, how do I know if you are going to use me
Waiting for things to come to fruition before betraying me?”
She really didn’t look at the wrong person
The sixteen year old Ling Ting had a heart, a city and an ambition
He just didn’t have the opportunity to show his strengths
Because of the presence of the Lu family, she did not want to stay in Dingzhou
To deal with the Li Clan, Ling Ting was the perfect candidate
Ling Jingshu raised her eyebrows and said with a smile on her face, “I am making a poisonous oath that A Xiao and I will never go back to Dingzhou and give up our fifth family business
Will you believe my poisonous oath?”
Ling Ting’s eyes flickered uncertainly for a long time before he spat out two words, “Don’t believe”
People’s mouths have two skins, and there is no trace of what they have said
If taking a poisonous oath worked, there wouldn’t be so many treacherous people in the world
Ling Jingshu shrugged her shoulders slightly and said carelessly, “If you don’t believe me, then there’s nothing I can do
Let’s call it quits on what we said tonight, big brother just pretend he never came!”
Ling Ting: “” Is this trying to trick him?
!!! Such an important conspiracy concerns a life and the future family business of the fifth house
It’s also about his future, how can it be such a child’s play?
Ling Ting’s face is not looking too good! Ling Ting’s face did not look too good, but his feet did not move half a stepSince big brother doesn’t believe me, why don’t you brush your sleeve and leave?”
Ling Jingshu asked knowingly
The corners of Ling Ting’s mouth twitched a few times before he squeezed out a few words, “I do not distrust you
However, I really can’t rest assured if I don’t set up a certificate for such an important matter”
When Ling Jingshu heard this request, she was not surprised, but she refused without thinking, “No way
This kind of thing can never be established as a voucher, in case your hands and feet aren’t sharp and someone notices, or if you use this to snitch on Li and take the credit, won’t our siblings become fish meat on the chopping board”You can’t trust me, how dare I trust you?
If we are so suspicious of each other, it is better not to talk about tonight’s matter”I hate Li, I don’t want to see her have a good time
You, on the other hand, want more
You want the family business of the fifth house, you want your father’s favor, and you want the respect of the people
You want so much and you don’t want to take half the risk, how in the world can there be such a good thing”
Speaking here, Ling Jingshu’s pretty face went cold, and her tone of voice also revealed a bit of coldness, “I’ve said all I have to say, in the end, how you want to choose, it’s all up to you”
This time, Ling Ting was silent for a long, long time
He thought of the tragic situation of Aunt Xia’s dying, thought of the desolation of being the concubine’s son, thought of Li’s contemptuous disdain when she occasionally looked at him, and thought of his father’s love for his youngest son
The grievances and resentments that were usually hidden deep in his heart all surged to his heart at this time, converging into a raging torrent that stirred endlessly in his heart
His own mother died in Li’s hands in disguise, and all his years of stifling life were all thanks to Li
Could it be that he would just look up to others for the rest of his life?
There was such a great opportunity in front of him, why didn’t he dare to give it a go?
Ling Ting’s heart was beating faster and faster, his hands were dripping wet, all the blood in his body was rushing towards his head, and his face was quite handsome and red
Ling Jingshu’s mind, however, gradually settled
If Ling Ting was unwilling, he would have turned around and left long ago
This hesitation at this time was precisely because he had moved this heart
The rich and powerful are in danger
Ling Ting would definitely nod his head!Sister, I have one last question”
Ling Ting finally opened his mouth, “You’re going to get married in the future, so you’ll have a dowry
But what about Ah Xiao, how are you sure he is willing to give up this family business at home?”
Ling Jingshu responded without hesitation, “When A Xiao goes to the capital, he will have a better future
This family business seems to weigh more than a thousand dollars in your eyes, but it’s like chicken ribs in the eyes of our siblings”
Saying that, he also raised his eyes to look at Ling Ting: “Big brother, if you have made up your mind, let’s form an alliance today, and each of us will make a poisonous oath
Regardless of whether things come to fruition or not, we must keep our mouths shut and never divulge what happened tonight”
Ling Ting gritted his teeth and resolutely answered, “Good”
Ling Jingshu gathered all of her expressions and solemnly made an oath, “Imperial Heaven is above, I, Ling Jingshu, hereby make an oath
As long as my elder brother does what he has promised, my younger brother Ling Xiao and I will never return to Dingzhou in this life and willingly give up the family business of the fifth house
If he violates this oath in the future, let me, Ling Jingshu, be struck by heavenly lightning and not be allowed to die”
Ling Ting fixed his mind and also made a poisonous oath
After each of them made their own vows, they were considered to have formed an alliance
Speaking again, there was no more bendingAre you and Ah Xiao really leaving tomorrow?”The clothes and luggage have all been packed
We’ll leave with Big Uncle and the others first thing in the morning”Do the Lu family brothers know about your departure?”
Ling Ting subconsciously asked a follow-up question
Ling Jingshu looked indifferent: “What does the fact that I’m leaving have to do with them
Why bother letting them know”
It seemed that Ling Jingshu really did have no good feelings towards the Lu brothers at all
Perhaps it was to conceal the matter of going to the capital from them
Ling Ting’s mind flickered and did not dwell on this issue, and then said in a low voice, “Sister, if the matter comes to fruition in the future, I will order someone to send a letter to you”
