Zou Quan suffered a secret loss, and he almost held his breath when he was blocked in one breath, but due to the situation, he had to find a way to make up the money first.

Ling Yi watched Zou get off the boat, turned to those subordinates and ordered: "I have all the goods in here, if there is one missing, I want you to compensate ten times." ”

The subordinates have just seen her power, who dares not to obey, one by one as if they saw the plague god retreated quickly.

"From today onwards, I'm afraid no one will think that the eldest lady of the Ling Mansion is weak and can be bullied." Gong Xiru didn't know when she stood beside Ling Yi, with a hint of urgency in her tone.

Ling Yi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Thank you for finding so many people, this money is not a tribute, it is just to invite Brother Jingcha to have a glass of wine." She handed Gong Xiru a silver ticket.

Gong Xiru looked at her with some dissatisfaction, "I will look at this kind of thing, you don't have to worry about everything." ”

Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, then relieved, put away the silver ticket and said, "Since Young Master Gong has the intention to sell me favors, if I don't accept it, it will be hypocritical." ”

Gong Xiru regained her smile at this time, and asked curiously: "What are you going to do next?" ”

Ling Yi thought for a while, "Of course I reported it to my grandmother, if I hadn't been careful this time, I wouldn't know what the Eight Sounds Club would have lost, and I should have let my grandmother know that the Zou family wouldn't have a good thing." ”

Gong Xiru couldn't help but smile, "Then I'll go first, if you need any help, just send someone to spread the word." ”

Ling Yi didn't wait for him to turn around, and immediately said, "You don't need to send someone to spread the word, I have something to ask you for help now." ”

She looked at Gong Xiru with a smile. It's like I've found something interesting.

After hearing her words, Gong Xiru was a little shocked: "Are you sure?" ”

"It's not entirely certain, it's just speculation. That's why I want your help. ”

"Okay, if there is a result, I'll let you know."

Ling Yifu was blessed: "Thank you Young Master Gong for that." ”

Gong Xiru opened her mouth, as if she had something to say, but after thinking about it again, she swallowed her words again, and bowed her hand and got off the boat.

Ling Yi walked in front of Cheng at this time. smiled well-behaved: "Mother Cheng, this time it is thanks to you, if you hadn't come." They are going to drive me down, Cheng's mother has worked hard. ”

Cheng looked at her, crying and laughing, the latter was still as sharp as a knife just now. Now it's full of well-behaved faces. It's really faster to change your face than to turn a book.

"The eldest lady personally wrote a letter to ask the old slave to come, can the old slave not come." Cheng was helped to stand up by the weaving fan, and said slowly: "Miss, although the old slave doesn't know what you did today, you must have your own thoughts, the old lady-"

"Grandmother, I personally went to explain to her, today I have stiffened the relationship between the Ling Zou family, and grandmother needs to know the reason." Ling Yi said.

Cheng nodded: "Since that's the case." Then the eldest lady will go back with the old slave. ”

When the group returned to the Ling Mansion, the Lan clan had already gotten up. And Ling Shandao served to eat iced lotus seed soup.

When Ling Yi saw Ling Shandao's ugly face, he knew that the latter must have learned the news.

"I've seen my grandmother and my father." She bowed respectfully.

Ling Shandao's face was slightly angry, and he said in a deep voice: "You still know the rules, you tell me, the incident on the dock that I heard from my subordinates just now is pure nonsense, it is nonsense from subordinates, not your eldest lady of Lingfu arguing with people in public, and she doesn't look like a lady at all, but like a." ”

Ling Yi was not in a hurry or impatient, his face was as calm as water, his voice was calm and calm, and he was not frightened by Ling Shandao's anger in the slightest.

She said slowly: "Father, since you have heard about what happened, you should know that everything your daughter has done is correct, Liang Guoren bought our things, not only did not give money, but also bought them at a very low price, can this be justified?" ”

Seeing that she was still arguing, Ling Shan angrily put the soup bowl on the table, "You still don't admit your mistake, do you think you can understand?" It's written in the ledger, don't I know? But after all these years, why have I been letting it go? ”

Ling Yi's face became more and more calm: "I know that my father deliberately let it go, and I probably know why you are doing this, just to compensate for the so-called debt that our Ling family owes to my aunt."

You don't want to straighten your aunt, but you don't want to marry again, so you hand over the authority of your mother-in-law to her, and don't even care how she manages it, which is also to stop your aunt's mouth. ”

Ling Shandao looked at Ling Yi in disbelief, because what the latter said was exactly what he thought in his heart. As long as the Zou family holds the right to be the master mother of the Ling Mansion, then she will not be desperate for that title.

Being seen through by Ling Yi's thoughts, Ling Shandao was embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Lan didn't interject until the atmosphere fell silent, she sighed slowly, looked at Cheng and said, "You did a good job today." ”

Cheng hurriedly pleaded: "Please forgive the old lady, time is pressing, the old slave acted without having time to report to you, and the old slave is willing to accept the punishment." ”

"Grandmother wants to punish me, it's okay to punish me, it's me who wrote to Cheng's mother to help me at the dock, if Cheng's mother doesn't go, I'm afraid I'll be thrown into the sea today." Ling Yi pouted aggrievedly.

Lan Shi looked at her and laughed out loud, "You, you, I look at you, you don't look like the person who was thrown, but you threw other people's dung." ”

Ling Yi smiled embarrassedly, "Grandmother's words are serious, and grandchildren can speak quietly, if you don't believe Mother Cheng, you don't have the slightest inappropriate words." ”

Cheng hurriedly helped: "Yes, old lady, the old slave is watching from the side, the eldest lady is eloquent, and she speaks with the head of the way, making those Liang people speechless, which really makes our Beiqin's face grow." ”

Ling Yi glanced at her, squeezed her eyebrows, and secretly thanked her, in this way, ordinary disputes have become a matter for her to maintain the face of the country, how honorable.

Lan Shi glanced at the two of them, and said angrily: "Okay, when I am blind, I know that you are colluding, and I have already thought of a rhetoric to deal with me and your father." ”

Cheng's mother lowered her head and stopped talking.

Ling Yi said obediently: "Grandmother, Fusheng didn't mean to deal with you, he was telling the truth.

I know that you think what I did today is very inappropriate, and it also disgraces the Ling Mansion, and even from today onwards, the words that the eldest lady of the Ling Mansion is actually a fierce woman will be spread.

However, I did all this for a reason, not just for the little money I lost, but also for the opportunity to explain to my grandmother and father. ”

Ling Shandao knew that the Lan clan would not really investigate Ling Yi's fault, and he, after calming down just now, had already lost most of his anger.

However, he was still a little angry in his heart, and reproached: "Do you know how much risk you took today?

It's just that you can do something else, but you dare to say that you want the emperor to come forward to judge, if today's matter is in front of the emperor, do you know what kind of outcome our Ling family will face? ”

Ling Yi's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "Since my father knows what kind of consequences this matter will bring to the Ling Mansion, then he must also know what kind of mentality the emperor has towards our Ling Mansion, the emperor has long seen that our Ling Mansion is not going well-"

Ling Shandao's eyes widened, and he slammed the table and stood up, "You shut up." ”

Lan gave Cheng a look, and the latter understood, and hurriedly sent out a few maids who were waiting in the house.

Ling Yi didn't care, and continued: "Even if my father smashed this table, he knows that what I said is right, our Ling Mansion has been loyal to the royal family for two hundred years, and now, it has finally reached the point of being a master of high merit. ”

"You still say, don't stop me." Ling Shandao's red eyes were angry, and he was about to hit her.

Lan Shi was in a hurry, got up and stopped: "You stop, she is your daughter and my own grandson, you dare to fight?" ”

"Mother-" Ling Shandao stopped helplessly, pointed at Ling Yi and said: "This child has been getting more and more nonsense recently, she dares to say anything, if she is not punished, I am afraid that she will do something irreparable in the future." ”

Ling Yi simply stood up, looked at Ling Shandao head-on, and said lightly, "Does Father think I said something wrong?" Or am I just getting to the point? We are all our own family, and we talk about our own words behind closed doors, what is my father worried about? ”

"You-" Ling Shandao sighed and shook his head, and finally sat down on the stool dejectedly, and said with a wry smile: "I finally know, you are so sharp and sharp-mouthed, even I can't say it." ”

Trying to calm the anger in his heart, he said helplessly: "Do you know that if what you say today reaches the ears of the saint, our Ling family will be finished." ”

Even if it is not transmitted, the Ling Mansion will be finished in two years.

Ling Yi couldn't help but add in her heart, and said on her face: "Father, don't worry, I won't say these words outside, nor will I say them to outsiders, but since my father understands it in his heart, then please listen to his daughter's words, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, and ask my father to pay more attention to his eyes on weekdays." ”

Ling Shandao also knew that the current status of the Ling Mansion was very delicate, so he worked hard to maintain the loyalty of the Ling Mansion, as long as Emperor Qinglong did not catch the things that could make a fuss, then it was impossible for the latter to raid the house of the court minister for no reason.

But his thoughts were still too simple, and Ling Yi said in a low voice: "Father, in this world, many times, if you are not at fault, others will not make a fuss, and framing Zhongliang This kind of thing happens a lot." ”

Ling Shandao was shocked again, and looked at Ling Yi in amazement, what did the latter know?

Since the main purpose of today is to wake up Ling Shandao, Ling Yi simply added some more fierce information and continued: "I can't hide it, I have found out the evidence of collusion between the Zou family and the Gong family, and today's release is also to fight against Zou Quan's forces. ”

"What?" Ling Shandao was shocked again, "The Zou family and the Gong family—this—how is it possible?" ”

Lan listened quietly, although she was also shocked and surprised in her heart, but she had experienced the wind and rain, and she had already practiced the ability to be happy and angry.

For some reason, she believed Ling Yi's words and said slowly, "It seems that we have to sit down and listen to what Fusheng has to say." (To be continued......)
