Old Mrs. Ling grabbed Ling Jingshu's hand tightly and refused to let go.
Ling Jingshu couldn't move and was not in a hurry. Even under the attack of tears and grief from Mrs. Ling, she did not soften her heart and said softly: "Grandma, is it too much for you to let Wei Yan take such a risk in order to save your aunt? Have you ever thought about what happens if the emperor Because of this, what should Wei Yan do?"
Old Mrs. Ling stopped crying because she was choked. Under Ling Jingshu's cold eyes, she said bravely: "He is a relative of the emperor, and he once saved the prince's life. The emperor will not blame him easily. Besides, Well, even if he offended the emperor, the queen would still protect him... "
"So, he should contribute to the Ling family?" Ling Jingshu's eyes were full of sarcasm: "Even if it means losing his own future and the emperor's trust?"
What a selfish old lady Ling!
Uncle Ling couldn't stand listening any more and coughed and said, "Mother, don't embarrass Ah Shu anymore. Let's forget about this matter!"
Mrs. Ling gritted her teeth and suddenly made an unexpected move.
She stood up shakily, then knelt down.
Ling Jingshu sidestepped without thinking, and her voice became colder: "Grandma, what are you doing? Kneel down to your granddaughter, are you trying to force me to death in the name of being unfilial?"
Uncle Ling's expression also changed. He got off the bed with his weak body, and wanted to help Old Mrs. Ling up: "Mom, you must not do this. If you force Ah Shu like this, if word spreads about it, our Ling family will have no face. Meet people. How can you have the dignity to see Wei Yan again?"
Mrs. Ling knelt down and refused to get up. She begged with tears: "Ah Shu, grandma, please let Wei Yan help me! You can't just watch your aunt die!"
She wished Ling Shi would die.
If Mrs. Ling hadn't been ruthless, she wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable end in her previous life!
It was Ling who strangled her to death herself.
At the moment before she died, the last thing she saw was Ling's ferocious face. The person she hates most, besides Lu An, is the Ling family.
Old Mrs. Ling actually still thinks that she is willing to save the Ling family. It is a joke!
…
Ling Jingshu was about to open her mouth to refuse, but a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, and she instantly changed her mind.
"Okay, grandma, I promise you!"
Mrs. Ling's eyes lit up and she was about to say something when she heard Ling Jingshu say calmly: "However, I have three conditions."
"Just tell me what conditions you want, and I will definitely agree to them all." Now, let alone three conditions, even thirty or three hundred, Mrs. Ling would not hesitate.
Ling Jingshu first bent down and helped Old Mrs. Ling up. After Old Mrs. Ling sat firmly on the bed, she slowly said: "I will write to Wei Yan as you said and ask him to plead with the emperor. However, Saint It’s hard to predict whether your wishes will come true, and there’s no guarantee. I just hope you have a clear conscience.”
Mrs. Ling nodded repeatedly: "Of course. As long as Wei Yan is willing to contribute, no matter what the outcome is, our Ling family will be grateful for his kindness."
A sarcastic smile flashed in Ling Jingshu's eyes, and she continued slowly: "Second, in two months, I will get married. This marriage is a marriage arranged by the Queen, and we must not lose the dignity of the Ling family. For the sake of the Queen, I have prepared a lot of dowry, and the dowry given to me by the Ling family cannot be less than the Queen’s share.”
The corners of Uncle Ling's mouth twitched slightly.
The Queen has given many gifts, and the gift list alone is a thick pile. If the Ling family had prepared a similar dowry, it would have been a severe loss of flesh. At least one-third of the family's assets will be taken away.
Ling Jingshu's mouth was really cruel!
Mrs. Ling's heart was bleeding, and she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay, I will definitely prepare a dowry for you in these two months!"
Ling Jingshu smiled lightly: "Thank you so much, grandma. The last condition is that after we get married, I want Ah Xiao to live with me in the Wei Mansion."
What
Uncle Ling was startled and blurted out: "This is not appropriate! Ling Xiao is a descendant of our Ling family, so he naturally has to live in the Ling family. There is no reason to live in the Wei Mansion."
What's more, listening to Ling Jingshu's words, it was obvious that it was more than just asking Ling Xiao to move away. This was because he wanted to use this move to completely distance himself from the Ling family.
Without Ling Xiao, how will the Ling family interact with the Wei family in the future
What Uncle Ling thought of, Old Mrs. Ling could see clearly, her face suddenly darkened: "Ah Shu, what do you mean by saying that? You are married, and you will be a member of the Wei family from now on. Do you still want Ling Xiao to do the same? Is it possible to change your surname and leave the Ling family?"
"That's not true." Ling Jingshu said lightly: "Axiao still needs to take the imperial examination and embark on an official career. He is a descendant of the Ling family, and this will never change."
At this time, family values are very strong. If one betrays the family or is expelled from the family, one's career path will be completely cut off. Ling Jingshu would never let Ling Xiao fall into a difficult situation.
Of course she had other reasons for making this condition.
"I can't trust Mrs. Li."
Ling Jingshu said bluntly: "Axiao fell down and fell into a coma, and later became blind for many years. I have always suspected that Li had played a role in it. Although there is no definite evidence, I just can't believe her. My father listened to her again. If she deliberately does it in the future If I try to make trouble for Ah Xiao or cause trouble in Ah Xiao's marriage, I, as a married daughter, can't protect my brother at all."
"So, I want Ah Xiao to live with me. I will personally take care of his food, clothing, and daily life, so I can feel at ease. As for getting married in the future, I will try my best to find a good marriage for Ah Xiao."
"Don't worry. I will not act arbitrarily. When the time comes, I will wait until my grandmother, uncle, and father all nod before I make a marriage arrangement for A Xiao."
In short, Li will not be allowed to interfere in anything Ling Xiao does in the future!
Mrs. Ling was speechless and looked at each other with Uncle Ling.
Uncle Ling frowned slightly and said tentatively: "Ah Shu, no matter what, Mrs. Li is your sister and brother's stepmother after all. Isn't this a bit too much?"
This kind of move slapped Mr. Li hard in the face.
How can Mrs. Li maintain her dignity in the Ling family
Ling Jingshu's eyes flickered and she twitched her lips: "That's all I've said. Whether you agree or not depends on your grandmother's wishes."
Didn’t Mrs. Ling want to save people? Then you have to show sincerity!
Old Mrs. Ling looked at Ling Jingshu blankly as if she were seeing a stranger for the first time.
Ling Jingshu looked calm and calm, waiting leisurely for Mrs. Ling to bow her head.
The first of the three conditions she put forward was to excuse her in the future. The second one is to make the Ling family suffer a lot of blood. The third one is her real purpose.
From now on, the fate of their siblings is in their own hands.
Mrs. Ling's expression changed again and again, and she finally nodded heartily: "Okay, I agree!" (To be continued)
