Chapter 98
Ling Qing followed Ling Chengtian to the study.

Like Xiao Yan's small mansion in the north of the city, there is a secret room behind the bookshelf.

There is also a staircase going down. After all, there are no cells, and cabinets are made on the four walls.

The cabinet is full of large and small wooden boxes.There is a big round table in the center of the secret room. The table is full of wooden boxes, and there are big boxes under the table.

These are what Jiang Qing, their mother and son, have always wanted.

"The dowry left by your father is here." Ling Chengtian walked to the table and opened one of the wooden boxes. Inside were white pearls the size of quail eggs.

In the wooden box next to it, there are purple pearls; next to it are pink pearls.

Arranged one after another in the back are all kinds of gemstones.

Under the table was a wooden box, and the moment it was opened, Ling Qing's eyes, which were still bewildered, shone brightly.

"These boxes are filled with silver, a total of 10 taels, which your father saved for you. The gold and your mother's dowry are in another secret room." Ling Chengtian said with a smile.

Like a curious baby, Ling Qing followed Ling Chengtian to a cabinet.

"This cabinet is full of jewelry, divided into gold, silver, and jade." Ling Chengtian walked to the other side of the cabinet, opened the box and introduced.

After opening all the boxes containing gold in the secret room next door, Ling Chengcai stopped and asked Ling Qing, "Do you like them all?"

Ling Qingneng said that she didn't know what she had experienced during this period, and her head was a little dazed.

Before he had time to respond, Ling Chengtian staggered suddenly, leaned heavily against the cabinet, and gasped for breath.

Ling Qing was so frightened that his heart tightened: "Daddy, what's wrong with you?"

Xu An, who had been standing by the stairs, hurried over to support him, and explained to Ling Qing: "Master is exhausted, just sit down and rest for a while and you'll be fine."

Ling Qing hurriedly covered a box and temporarily used it as a chair for Ling Chengtian to sit down and rest.

Looking at Ling Chengtian's pale complexion, he felt uneasy again.

Half a month had passed, and Ling Qing felt that her father's physical condition was still worrying.

It is understandable to always want to sleep, but the strength of speaking is limited, and it will also cause poor spirits, which is a bit unreasonable.

I heard from Wei Dong the day before yesterday that Li Shan had been in the courtyard in the north of the city during this time.

Later, she had to find him in person.

After a while, Ling Chengtian's complexion improved a lot, but he still looked tired.

"Daddy, let's go back to rest first, and we'll come back with some of these extraneous things later, okay?"

Ling Chengtian smiled and said after a while: "Okay, I will ask Jinhua to bring you later, and I will order some more from the list."

Ling Qing nodded.

In this way, the three returned to the dormitory again.

"Yesterday, Daddy wanted to take you to the secret room, but you are still tired."

Ling Qing helped Ling Chengtian to lie down: "There is still some time for the engagement day, so there is no rush. There is no rush either."

"Why don't you rush, there are only a few days left, and if you don't count the dowry, you won't have enough time. You will be the one who will be laughed at then~"

Ling Qing also sighed in her heart, time flies so fast, before she knew it, it was almost a month since she came back.

Just finished dealing with the affairs of the mansion, the problem of Ducheng has not been solved yet.

Although my father said that all this is not necessarily because the people of Beiliang want to swallow Ducheng, but Ling Qing intuitively feels that it must have a lot to do with the people of Beiliang.

Otherwise, why would the original owner wear it on her? If it had nothing to do with it, such a result would not have happened.

This script world of rebirth or traversal is more or less closely related to the past life or future of the reborn person.

It might even be related to herself.

Ling Chengtian groaned: "I almost forgot, Dad asked Lao Xu to copy the dowry list." Then he called to Xu An: "Old Xu, I remember asking you to copy a dowry list! Go get it to Jiao Take a look."

"Also, Old Xu, may I ask you to remind Jinhua to prepare some silver coins for tipping?"

"Say it, the old slave also reminded Jinhua." Xu An responded, and went to the book case to find the dowry list.

Ling Qing looked at Ling Chengtian who was so worried that he forgot to sleep, and smiled helplessly.

"Daddy, you said that Shizi Xiao has seen his daughter's dowry?" Ling Qing asked.

Ling Chengtian wanted to pretend not to know, but under Ling Qing's scrutiny, he still admitted: "It seems that there is such a thing."

"You embarrass my daughter by doing this." Taking the man to see the dowry is tantamount to telling them that they want the same dowry back.

How could Ling Chengtian not know what this meant, he just wanted to make Tuo Gu more perfect.

Ling Qing didn't even know that he had been completely sold out by his own father.

"Dad is impatient." Ling Chengtian smiled and changed the topic: "The invitation was sent out half a month ago, and everyone in Ducheng who wants to come and who should come will come."

"There are also people who shouldn't come. At that time, you will be able to recognize these people well. Maybe most of them are already lackeys of people from other countries."

Yes!

There must be no shortage of lackeys in Ducheng.

It is impossible for those who fled from other countries to be willing to leave the Lord's house.

Especially for those famous families, as long as they show a little temptation, those who have been kicked out of the family and have no backbone, how can they give up the chance to go home.

Some people came to Ducheng from the very beginning to earn gold and silver for their masters and to open up human relationships.

Before Ling Qing went to Meilin Village, Ling Chengtian didn't come to see her off. It was because he found such a person and was in a hurry to deal with it.

Otherwise, even in a violent storm, Ling Chengtian will definitely return home on time.

Now, to get to know these people through insensitivity, the reason is reasonable, and it will not let people see their purpose.

"Daddy, do you know the witch in Nanjiao Lane?" Ling Qing waited for the opportunity to tell about the witch.

"Have you seen her?"

Ling Qing nodded.

"Daddy, your Uncle Xiao, and your Uncle Gu have liked to watch her divination since they were young." Ling Chengtian smiled wryly: "She also always likes to talk about mysterious things. She must have told you about "proclaiming emperor"."

"Yes, so the daughter wants to know what grandfather and daddy think about this."

Ling Chengtian blurted out: "The higher the status, the greater the responsibility. Dad, like your grandfather, doesn't like being bound by those rules."

"There is nothing wrong with being the lord of a city, and those who are able can live there. Being an emperor is not so comfortable."

"The godmother also said that Ducheng didn't exist for a hundred years?"

Ling Chengtian thought for a while before nodding: "If it's only been a hundred years since the land was seized, it's only been 76 years since it was actually built."

Perhaps, people from other countries are afraid that the new city lord will become emperor when he takes office, so they all want to snuff out the flames that are still in the cradle before reaching this step.

Because Ling Ze is better than Ling Chengtian, and even better than the previous generation.

But Ling Qing knows that Ling Ze prefers to travel around the world.

But not everyone is convinced.

Most people will only use his poor cognition to think that others are what he thinks they are.

Ling Chengtian fell asleep while Ling Qing was deep in thought.

Ling Qing tucked the corner of the quilt for him, and walked out of the bedroom lightly.

Xu An came over and said, "Girl, the people from Shangyi Pavilion have come with the ready-made wedding dress."

"Xiao Shizi ordered the girl to try on the clothes first, and he went to the courtyard in the north of the city to wait for the girl first. The old servant has already ordered Zhu Xin to take them to the West Building of Yueman to wait for the girl."

Ling Qing was stunned for a moment, but when she heard the word "wedding dress", she felt a headache and both sides ached.
