What's more, Ling Chuchu's uncle and aunt had never contacted Ling Chuchu before, and they only met recently.
Giving money to someone with whom she has the most superficial relationship would require Ling Chuchu to be crazy.
"That's because their son was seriously ill and had no money to treat him. I felt sorry for him and gave them money. My mother passed away early, and I never got to fulfill my filial duty. Hong Guang is my mother's brother, and I couldn't bear to see him get into trouble. I really didn't know that it was them who caused Ling Qingwan to be kidnapped."
Ling Chuchu had a sad face and tried her best to explain to Old Madam Ling.
"What does it matter whether you know or not? Could it be that you didn't know about the plot you had against Wan Wan before?"
Ling Shenshi just walked out of the door when she heard Ling Chuchu's words. She opened the door, stepped in, and yelled at Ling Chuchu, not giving her any face at all.
"Qing Yun." Old Madam Ling called Ling Shenshi. "You came at the right time. Do you have any opinion on how to deal with her?"
After all, Ling Chuchu's uncle and aunt kidnapped Ling Shen's daughter, and Ling Chuchu had repeatedly plotted against Ling Qingwan, making it difficult for her to live well. It would be best to let Ling Shen decide how to deal with Ling Chuchu.
"I want Ling Chuchu to leave the Ling Mansion and never set foot in the gate of the Ling Mansion again." Ling Shen said coldly.
"What?" Ling Chuchu was stunned, thinking she was hallucinating.
"When Linglong hid a needle in Wanwan's clothes, your grandfather kicked Linglong out of the house. Your grandfather hated the intrigues among family members the most. If he were alive and saw what you and your uncle and aunt did, he would probably kill you. I just kicked you out, which is good enough for you."
As Ling Shen spoke, her eyes began to turn red again.
How much injustice must her Wanwan have suffered over the years.
Why should she forgive Ling Chuchu? Why can Ling Chuchu get away with it after hurting Ling Qingwan? She won't allow it.
"Mom, I have been following you since I was seven or eight years old. I have called you mom for nearly ten years. How can you be so cruel and drive me away just like that?"
Ling Chuchu knelt down facing Ling Shenshi, looking at her with tears in her eyes.
"Don't call me mom. Wanwan is my only daughter." Ling Shen frowned, her expression full of disgust.
From the beginning, she did not agree to adopt Ling Chuchu into her name. However, the old lady and Ling Feng kept persuading her, and Ling Chuchu's mother passed away, so Ling Shen felt sorry for her and accepted her.
Unexpectedly, she had been attentive to Ling Chuchu for so many years, but ended up raising an ungrateful person who almost killed Ling Qingwan.
"Mom, you can't be so cruel. I didn't do anything. Ling Qingwan's kidnapping has nothing to do with me. I am innocent. You can't kick me out."
"Even if you want to kick me out, it's up to Daddy to decide. You don't acknowledge me as your daughter, but Daddy and I are blood brothers. It's impossible for Daddy to disown me."
Ling Chuchu kept chattering on and on.
At this critical juncture, she cannot lose her identity as the eldest daughter of the Ling family.
Without the status of a rich lady, she and Song Zhicheng would be a poor match. Even if Song Zhicheng still wanted to marry her, the emperor and Concubine Jing would never agree.
Then she really has no way out.
"If I remember correctly, the person with the most say in this mansion should be my grandmother." Ling Qingwan suddenly spoke, her tone was cold and without any emotion.
"Besides, Daddy also said before he left for Weizhou that all important matters in the Ling Mansion would be decided by Grandmother. In other words, as long as Grandmother agrees to my mother's request, you must leave the Ling Mansion."
After saying that, Ling Qingwan looked at Old Madam Ling.
Madam Ling's eyes flickered slightly.
Although she had feelings for Ling Chuchu, Old Madam Ling had seen Ling Chuchu's true colors clearly during this period. Moreover, Ling Qingwan was indeed right in this matter, and she should not be biased towards Ling Chuchu.
The old lady suddenly remembered what Qiao Er had told her before, asking her not to get involved in the dispute between Ling Qingwan and Ling Chuchu. Anyway, she was following Ling Qingwan's wishes, eating and drinking well all day, and living a comfortable life. Once she got involved in these things, she might get into trouble.
After all, Ling Qingwan had some abilities, and Old Lady Ling was probably aware of that. She also knew whether she could defeat Ling Qingwan or not.
"Grandma, you won't chase me away, right? I'm your most beloved granddaughter!"
Ling Chuchu grabbed Madam Ling's hand almost in a flattering manner.
Madam Ling frowned and mercilessly shook off Ling Chuchu's hand.
Ling Chuchu was stunned.
"You have done so many wrong things, you deserve to be punished. I am only expelling you from the mansion and not endangering your life. This is already a kindness to you. You want to stay in the Ling Mansion. I can't help you with this."
After saying that, Madam Ling turned her head away coldly.
Ling Chuchu was completely panicked.
It would have been fine if Ling Shenshi and Ling Qingwan were cruel to her, but she didn't expect that Old Madam Ling was the same.
Obviously, Madam Ling loved her the most in the entire Ling family. It was impossible for her to pretend for so many years. Why did she suddenly change
Ling Chuchu racked her brains but couldn't figure out the reason.
"Someone, kick Ling Chuchu out." Ling Shenshi didn't want to see Ling Chuchu again.
As soon as he finished speaking, several guys came in, grabbed Ling Chuchu's arms on both sides, and dragged her outside.
"No! You can't chase me away!" Ling Chuchu struggled to break free like crazy.
"You drove me away. Aren't you afraid of committing the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"The crime of deceiving the emperor?" Shen Chengzhou was puzzled.
How could kicking Ling Chuchu out of the Ling Mansion be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor
"Have you forgotten? I am the Grand Consort appointed by the Emperor. The imperial edict originally stated that the eldest daughter of the Ling family would be the Grand Consort. If you drive me out, the Ling family will be without the eldest daughter. How are you going to explain this to the Emperor?"
Seeing Shen Chengzhou stopping her and asking questions, Ling Chuchu thought Shen Chengzhou was afraid of her.
She was very proud and sneered at everyone.
"I see." Shen Chengzhou nodded as if he had suddenly realized something. "You don't have to worry about this. The emperor is wise, and when the time comes, I will tell him the whole story, and he will definitely understand."
Ling Chuchu's heart skipped a beat.
How could she forget that Shen Chengzhou had made countless military achievements and was a favorite of the emperor? She used the emperor's name to threaten Shen Chengzhou, which was like hitting a rock with an egg.
Then, Ling Qingwan reminded the waiter again and dragged Ling Chuchu out of the room.
Ling Chuchu looked at the group of people in the room, her heart burning with anger.
She remembered all these people. She would definitely get revenge on them!
On the rooftop, Hua Mei and Hua Yu looked at Ling Chuchu being dragged away as if she were dead, both with a look of contempt.
"It seems that Ling Chuchu is really useless." Hua Yu shook her head.
"Ling Chuchu is a fool." Hua Mei sneered. She had never liked Ling Chuchu at all.
"I guess the master won't want her anymore." Hua Yu whispered.
