Ling Xiao was anxious.
Ling Qingwan's kidnapping has always been a knot in Ling Xiao's heart. Over the years, whenever he thought of his lost sister, he would feel upset and guilty.
It turned out that all this was a conspiracy, and he now knew who was behind it. He could not swallow this anger if Ling Xiao did not cause trouble for Ling Chuchu.
"Since Ling Chuchu has promised Hong Guang and his wife to meet at the City God Temple tomorrow, why don't we go and take a look together. Who knows, if they get anxious, they might tell us more things we don't know."
As she spoke, Ling Qingwan had already made up her mind.
If the Hong Guang couple were the culprits who caused her to get lost, she would naturally not let them off. However, she lacked evidence and could not immediately report to the police to have them arrested.
Ling Qingwan has always been a thoughtful person. She would never take the risk of alerting the enemy unless she was absolutely sure.
The battle with Ling Chuchu has been going on since her rebirth, and it doesn't take more than a day or two.
The next day, Ling Chuchu arrived at the City God Temple as promised.
Mr. and Mrs. Hong Guang had been waiting for a long time.
"Chu Chu, you're finally here." When Mrs. Tao saw Ling Chu Chu, she hurriedly stepped forward and tried to hold Ling Chu Chu's arm.
Ling Chuchu rolled her eyes at Tao in annoyance, walked around her and walked straight into the door.
"I've told you two before that I'm very busy right now and have no money, so I told you not to come to me during this period of time." Ling Chu became more and more angry the more he thought about it.
The Ling family is no longer what it used to be. She herself doesn't have much money, and now she has been caught stealing, making it even harder for her to protect herself. At this critical moment, she is also being harassed by a pair of relatives who are good at sucking blood.
After that, she took out a purse from her sleeve and threw it at Hong Guang.
Hong Guang took it subconsciously.
The purse felt heavy, so there must be a lot of money in it. Hong Guang nodded with satisfaction.
"From today on, you two don't come to see me. I'll tell you when I get over it." Ling Chuchu said to the two impatiently.
"No, Ling Chuchu, what's wrong with you?" Hong Guang was unhappy. "I am your uncle after all, so it's fine if you don't say hello to me, but you keep yelling at me. Are you really used to being a young lady? You can't tell the difference between respect and inferiority?"
"Dad, please say less." Tao pulled Hong Guang's hand and whispered to him to calm down.
"Chu Chu, don't think too much. Your uncle just speaks harshly, but he has a good heart."
Seeing Tao trying to persuade both sides, Ling Chuchu just felt sick.
"Is your heart good? I think it's black."
She looked Hong Guang up and down.
"You keep saying you are my uncle, but your own son is sick and you can't earn money to treat him, so you ask your niece for money. You are such a capable uncle!"
Ling Chuchu was already full of anger, and when she saw Hong Guang taking advantage of her and still acting like a good kid, she became even more furious.
"you!"
Hong Guang was speechless because of Ling Chuchu.
"Okay, I've given you the money and I've made it clear to you. I hope you can listen to me. If anything happens to me now, you won't be happy."
After saying that, Ling Chuchu pretended to leave.
"We called you here today not just to ask for money." Hong Guang stopped Ling Chuchu. "I heard that the General's Mansion is already investigating the incident from more than ten years ago. You'd better be careful."
Ling Chuchu frowned, turned around and faced Hong Guang.
"How do you know they're checking?"
In Ling Chuchu's eyes, the Hong Guang couple are selfish and greedy for money, and what they say cannot be trusted at all.
"Although this incident happened more than ten years ago, it is still a serious matter. Over the years, I have been secretly watching the General's Mansion. Just two days ago, I heard a beggar near the General's Mansion say that General Shen has found all the people who were with Ling Qingwan when she was kidnapped. They are now in the General's Mansion."
Hong Guang told Ling Chuchu the truth.
"When did it happen?" Ling Chuchu frowned slightly.
"It was yesterday." Hong Guang replied.
Ling Chuchu's heart skipped a beat.
Yesterday, she did hear from the servants in the mansion that Shen Chengzhou's men had come to the Ling Mansion once, and then Ling Qingwan and Ling Xiao left with him, most likely to the General's Mansion.
Could it be that things are really as Hong Guang said...
"How about it? Do you believe me now?" Hong Guang snorted coldly, as if mocking Ling Chuchu, who had just stiffened his neck and refused to believe what he said.
"Your mother was able to enter the Marquis' Mansion because your father was attracted by her beauty and raped her. After that, she became pregnant. Ling Feng had no choice but to marry your mother. You have been unwelcome since you became pregnant, and you are still a girl, so you can't add incense to the family. Your mother passed away due to illness. Given your father's temper, he would never care about you, and might even throw you away."
"If I hadn't found a way to make you the only legitimate daughter of the Ling family, would you have been able to live so comfortably for the past ten years?"
"I'm telling you, if this matter is discovered by the General's Mansion, I will suffer, and you won't be any better off. So you have to take care of this matter."
Hong Guang lowered his voice and threatened Ling Chuchu with a domineering look on his face.
"Are you threatening me?" Ling Chuchu was displeased.
"I'm not threatening you, I'm telling the truth." Hong Guang said to Ling Chuchu. "Think about it yourself, whether what I said makes sense."
Although Ling Qingwan's kidnapping was planned and caused by Hong Guang himself, Ling Chuchu also enjoyed the life of a young lady in a marquis's mansion for more than ten years.
Now Ling Chuchu and he are on the same rope. Hong Guang is sure that Ling Chuchu will not sit idly by.
"Didn't you tell me before that you had already dealt with the people you bribed back then?" Ling Chuchu felt uneasy.
Hong Guang's words were harsh, but they did make sense.
At the moment, she was still thinking about how to save her marriage with the eldest prince. The situation was very serious. If she lost her status as the eldest daughter of the Ling family, wouldn't she be even more disliked by Concubine Jing
"It is solved. But there is no impenetrable wall in this world. What if the General's Mansion is determined to investigate this matter? Can you guarantee that they can't find out about us?"
"Besides, you know how smart Ling Qingwan is. You've lost to her so many times, how could she be a pushover?"
After all, it concerns his own safety, so Hong Guang is extremely concerned about it.
"I advise you to pay more attention to this matter, and don't think it has nothing to do with you. Anyway, if I fall, you will not have a good ending either." Hong Guang reminded Ling Chuchu again.
"I have my own thoughts on these things. Don't come to see me during this period of time. Otherwise, we will be discovered." Ling Chuchu was upset.
"Chu Chu."
Tao walked forward and looked at Ling Chuchu with a kind look in her eyes.
"It was our fault for what happened more than a decade ago. Seeing that you were so young, we couldn't bear to see you suffer in the Ling Mansion, so we came up with this idea, hoping that you could live a better life. We didn't expect the truth to be exposed now."
