Nongmen Merchant Girl

Chapter 61 Family Secrets
After winning the lawsuit with the Wang family, Xu Ru's reputation in Qinghe County suddenly surpassed that of Ling Tianfang. Some people said that she was not afraid of authority, she was a hero among women, and she was courageous, while others said that she was not a girl who showed her face all day. What to do.However, the most direct thing is that the business of Yumanlou has suddenly improved a lot. I don’t know who passed it on, saying that the new dishes in Yumanlou are all made by Miss Xu, so most of them are aimed at Xu Ru They all wanted to see the few dishes sold to Yumanlou, what kind of craftsmanship is this Miss Xu, and the Ling family treats them favorably.

After staying at home for a day, Xu Ru went to Ling Mansion.Since it was Ling Tianfang and Yu Wenxuan who saved her this time, she hadn't had time to thank them properly, and Han Chunqiu's matter, too.

Although she has been dealing with the Ling family for a long time, Xu Ru has never been to the Ling family's house.She first went to Yumanlou to find Sun Biyan, and then asked Sun Biyan to lead her to Ling's mansion.

Leaving aside the layout of the Ling Mansion, Xu Ru often visited five-star hotels in modern times, so she didn't appreciate this ancient courtyard building very much. She only knew one word, big.Yes, the corridor of a pond is 1000 meters long, not to mention three gates and two yards.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, Xu Ru was ordered to stand outside the door and wait for a servant to report.After a while, I saw Ling Ruofeng coming out of the house.

"Sister Ru is here, come quickly, I'll take you in." Ling Ruofeng came out happily, with a light voice, "Father is inside, and he was just asking me about my studies. You came today just in time. I also heard yesterday that you and the Wang family I didn't expect you to be so good and know so much, I will learn from you in the future." He said cheerfully alone, Xu Ru just looked at him with a smile.

After entering the room, at the end of an aisle, Ling Ruofeng pushed the door open to let Xu Ru go in first.

After Xu Ru went in, she saw Ling Tian writing.She didn't understand why she practiced calligraphy every time she saw him.

Ling Tianfang found a reason to let Ling Ruofeng go out. He knew that Xu Ru came here today because he had something to do. He probably knew something, so it was better not to let Feng'er get involved.

"Is Mr. Yuwen not here today?"

I saw these two people together two days ago, and when she woke up that day, she saw him by her side, so she wanted to thank them as well.

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows, "Miss Xu came to look for him today?"

"Um, thank you both for saving me that day." Hearing his question, Xu Ru didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Oh, miss Xu, you're being polite. Brother Yu Wen went back yesterday. But has miss Xu thought about what to do in the future?"

Of course Xu Ru knew what he meant. Now the Xu family has completely offended the Wangfu, and they don't know the identity of the person behind the master Wang. The Ling family is now confronting the Wangfu for their own sake. I still want to live a peaceful life, but it seems that it is not so easy.

He asked this question at this moment, presumably because he was thinking of a way out for the Xu family.

"Boss Ling has any conditions, just say so."

"Hahaha, Miss Xu is really smart."

"Wang Hai is just an insignificant character, nothing to be afraid of. The important thing is the people behind him. Do you know that my Ling family has a noble concubine?" Ling Tian said slowly.

What Xu Ru heard most about Qinghe County’s rumors about the Ling family was that they were from the big family of Yanjing, but she knew nothing about the others. Hearing these things from him now, she was secretly surprised, knowing what he might say next. They are all family secrets. From then on, the Xu family and the Ling family can only stand on the same line, and I have no choice but to accept these.

"At that time, my Ling family was still the largest family in Yanjing, and it was the most wealthy family in the world. That year, when the emperor ascended the throne and was elected to the harem, Ling Yao, my daughter-in-law, was elected into the palace and later named Concubine Ling, because my Ling family has been in business for generations. , Wealth that rivals a country's wealth, that's why the emperor accepted the daughter of the family as his concubine. At that time, the emperor was weak in the court and had no sovereignty. My Ling family secretly recruited soldiers and made weapons for the emperor, so as to eradicate treacherous officials at the right time. But the world is unpredictable. The emperor was secretly murdered, suffering from a serious disease, and his life was not long. My Ling family was charged with the crime of concealing weapons and treason. My Ling family in Qinghe County is the last direct descendant, and it was only through humiliation and humiliation that we got the chance to survive."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves.The incomparable anger and pain in his heart, he still remembers that summer, when his father was forced to cut off the head of the patriarch himself, the surrounding floor was covered with the blood of the clansmen, he was held down by his mother tightly, not letting him Looking at that horrible scene, the scorching sun at noon baked the earth, and the blood all over the ground exuded a disgusting fishy smell. My ears were full of ridicule from the Xing clan and insults from the same clan.But in order to leave the last bloodline for the family, the father had to do that, he had to be cowardly, cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death, in order to get back the family's chances of survival.

Seeing him intoxicated by his own memories, Xu Ru felt a pain in her heart. She never thought that he would bear such a deep hatred.For a moment, I don't know how to comfort him. What a man like him needs, after forbearance until now, is not comfort, but a chance to return to Yanjing, avenge the Ling family, revive the prestige of the Ling family, and overthrow the Ling family. Empress Xing, the most important thing is to return the land of Yan to Qingming.

"Boss Ling, where did Concubine Ling go?" She was very curious. Even if the emperor asked the Ling family to train soldiers and make weapons in private, the Ling family would be useless after the emperor died, let alone rebellion. She hasn't heard of the family's rebellion. After all, the prince's succession to the throne is justified. All you need to do is to suppress the Ling family and find a name to let him dissipate the family property. If it is not done well, the economy will be in chaos, affecting the foundation of the country.

However, the Ling family was wiped out without reservation, and the rest were exiled to this remote place. Unless Concubine Ling Gui already had a little prince, the Xing family was afraid that when the little prince grew up, the Ling family would be backed by the court. To make waves, so cut the weeds and get rid of the roots.

"My aunt gave birth to a prince two years after entering the palace. After the incident, the imperial concubine was sentenced to death, but the little prince was nowhere to be found. Some people said that he was burned to death by the queen. According to the spies, the queen did not find the little prince. "He thought about this younger brother whom he had never met, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"I believe that the little prince will be fine because of his auspiciousness." She said slowly.

Seeing her sad face, Ling Tianfang knew that she was worried about her own family affairs, so he gradually relaxed in his heart.

"I've searched around all these years, but there is no news." Besides, the whole country is full of Queen Xing's eyeliner, and I dare not make any big moves.

"After the collapse of my Ling family, half of all the economic wealth was used as the national treasury, and most of it was accepted by the Huang family. It is now the Huang family of Dayan's No. [-] merchant. Wang Hai is an eyeliner arranged by the Huang family in Qinghe County."

"what?"
