General's daughter-in-law

Chapter 55
"This girl is interesting!"

Dr. Xu stroked his beard and looked at the person opposite with a smile.

"You said that you don't even have a servant girl by your side. You thought you would finally have someone who is not afraid of you, but you didn't expect to swear such a vicious oath!"

Chen Ling's face was tense, and he glanced at him expressionlessly: "Do you think I'm interested in a 12-year-old half-grown kid with no hair yet?"

"Is not it?"

Dr. Xu raised his eyebrows, picked up the account book in his hand and examined it carefully: "All these years you have been served by men, and now a girl suddenly appeared, she is also the young lady of the Yan family."

He glanced at him meaningfully: "Although he's a little young, there are plenty of 12-year-olds who can discuss marriage. Just raise them for two or three years. It's better than you being a bachelor all your life."

Chen Ling's expression was not very good.

Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Eldest Young Master, Second Master came over just now, what he said probably meant that Second Young Master did not want Second Young Master to take over the Yan family."

"On the surface, the first and second families are harmonious and have deep brotherly love, but in fact, Ling'er has earned these properties over the years. From Yan Qingde's point of view, he adopted Ling'er. These things should belong to him, but Yan Qingwu also feels As the eldest brother, he has the only heir of the Yan family under his knees, so he will be passed on to a male but not a female, so these things will naturally be left to that little bastard Yan Minglang."

After a pause, he continued: "In Yan Qingde's heart, holding these in Ling'er's hands is better than handing them all over to Dafang. He is now middle-aged, but he still has a chance to have a son, but once Things fall into Dafang's hands, and it's useless for him to have a son."

"What's going on with Xu Jin?" Chen Ling asked suddenly.

The housekeeper was taken aback, and hurried forward to reply: "The food and grass in Yongcheng was burned by horse thieves. There is no war at the border now. They probably won't ask for help from the capital, and they will probably collect silver taels from the wealthy businessmen in the surrounding area."

"Nanping Town is in a relatively better situation among these towns, and they should come to the door in a few days."

Chen Ling nodded slightly, and clasped the table with his thick, long and distinct fingers: "Keep an eye on them, once they enter Nanping Town, I will know immediately."

"Old slave understands."

The butler responded quickly.

"Knock Knock-"

There was a knock on the door outside.

The butler was taken aback, turned around, walked to the door, and opened it.

"Young master, the things you ordered your servants to go out to buy have already been bought."

Chen Ling's eyes flashed, and there was a trace of coldness in the depths of his eyes.

"Eldest young master, don't you entrust the old slave to handle general purchases?"

The butler was a little puzzled, and turned to look at the servant who came in: "What did you buy?"

The servant glanced at Chen Ling in fear, pursed his lips, and hesitated: "It's the girl's clothes and jewelry."

The housekeeper was a little surprised, and soon realized who these things were for.

He turned around and said, "Eldest young master, this old slave will send these to Miss Fourth right now."

Dr. Xu took a meaningful look at the person sitting at the desk: "When did you become so careful? There are special people in this house who buy clothes and jewelry for girls all year round. Why let you be so careful?" Is the dignified Young Master of the Yan family going to bother?"

There was no emotion on Chen Ling's face, and he closed the account book at hand: "I don't like to owe favors to others. She has helped a lot these days. If she can compensate with money, why not do it?"

When Dr. Xu heard it, he thought it made sense, but he also felt that something was wrong.
