96. Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to strike first

In order to celebrate Tata's return, a certain fat worm happily swallowed the whole cake into his stomach, and at the end he did not forget to hug Tata's round body and rub it vigorously, which was counted as the hard work of Tata's trip.

Jian Ling really felt that this worm was very similar to Xia in some aspects, with no face and no skin, and there was no lower limit to what he could say and do.

After the reception, the news of Jian Ling and General Xia's reunion spread almost throughout the aristocratic circle.

This is Christine's purpose, he wants everyone to know that the Jian family has a relationship with the military department, and as long as General Xia's military rank does not fall, the status of their Jian family will rise and get better day by day.

But what he didn't expect was that along with fame, there was also the spurning and disgust of the old nobles. Especially when Laijin returned to the family, he publicized Jian Ling's beating and Christine's unreasonable bullying, in the eyes of the old nobles, the Jian family was no different from the lackeys who betrayed their ancestors for glory.

The already tense relationship between the old nobles and the new nobles is now becoming more and more tense because of these things.

At this moment, any little thing can be the trigger to light the fuse.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that this primer would be dyed so quickly.

Laijin was broken in Jane's house, bleeding and being thrown out of Jane's house, although the Lai family felt a headache for his uncompetitive son, but he was always his own grandson, even if he committed something, he should not be taught by an outsider, especially this outsider is still a lackey who sells his ancestors for glory!

The Lai family released their words and demanded that the Jian family apologize for this, otherwise they would never give up.

Simple. Although Christine climbed to the military department, she still had some concerns about the influence of the Lai family in the circle of old nobles, so she made a phone call to the Lai family to express her apologies for this incident, hoping that this matter could be turned into a small matter.

But the people of the Lai family are not so easy to deal with, and no matter how much water is in Christine's apology, they directly make a clear request - if you want to resolve it, it is okay, unless you let Jian Ling, who beat Laijin, personally kneel down to apologize, otherwise there is no need to talk about it!

That's a real overkill.

But this is a matter of course for the Lai family, which has been inherited for thousands of years but has been prosperous for a long time. In their eyes, a family like the Jian family, which has fallen so far that they need the protection of the military department to survive, is no different from those lowly civilians, especially since Jian Ling is just an illegitimate daughter, the lowly of the lowly.

Simple. After Christine hung up the phone, she was so angry that she threw the communicator out on the spot, and smashed it to pieces with a bang.

The Lai family wants to apologize, they are simply slapping their Jane family's face!

Let's not talk about Jian Ling's current identity, even if she is nothing, but she is still surnamed Jian in name, how the Jian family treats her is one thing, but if she really wants to go to the door to kneel for someone, if this matter spreads, how will their Jian family gain a foothold in this circle in the future?!

He gritted his teeth, his face pale: "It's too much to deceive people!" Too much deception!! ”

When things got to this point, he didn't have anything to say, so he simply ignored the coercion of the Lai family. Anyway, it's like this, what if he doesn't apologize, can the Lai family really come to the door and fight him?!

It's nothing more than that he will be more embarrassed in the circle of the old nobles in the future, since he has already made up his mind to get closer to the military department, those old antiques of the old nobles like to think and look at them, let them go, he can't see it!

Seeing that Christine refused to admit his mistakes, he made it clear that he would not give the Lai family this face.

The Lai family has been inherited for thousands of years, and has always regarded itself as noble, and the most important thing is face. The refusal of the Jane family directly hit their most important place, and they immediately filed a complaint, not only to the court, but also to the palace, demanding that Jane be removed. Christine's Earl Title.

Christine, who learned the news, was really panicked now.

He really didn't expect that the Lai family would actually make trouble in the court and the palace for such a trivial matter. The thought of what he was going to face next gave him a headache.

Regarding the matter of the Lai family's lawsuit against the Jian family, everyone immediately became aware of it, and everyone was waiting for how the Jian family would end up this time.

Jian Ling knew about this and took the initiative to find Christine, at this time he was calling his third brother in the study, it seemed that he was also talking about the affairs of the Lai family, his face was very ugly, and his tone was extremely cold and hard.

He saw Jian Ling coming, and said, "I'll talk about this later," and hung up the phone.

Even though he was in a bad mood, he still barely squeezed out a smile at Jian Ling, asked the official Morris to make a pot of hot coffee, and let Jian Ling sit on the leather chair opposite the desk: "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”

Jian Ling didn't go around in circles with him, and directly explained his intentions straight to the point: "How do you plan to deal with Laikin's matter?" ”

As soon as he heard this, the smile on Christie's face that he could barely maintain finally fell, and he frowned, looking very distressed: "I didn't expect that Laikin guy to make such a big fuss, and now it's like this, I ...... Huh! ”

"It doesn't matter to the court, the Lai family's evidence is insufficient, otherwise they would have let the police come directly to arrest people, why bother going around in circles to the court? It's just a bluff, so there's no need to worry too much. ”

Hearing this, Christine's brow softened slightly, it was not that he was too stupid to think of it, but because he was so angry that he ignored many details at once. With Jian Ling's explanation, he suddenly felt less uncomfortable than before: "The court doesn't have to take care of it, what about the palace?" The Lai family is not a small family, over the years, has been extremely cultivated with the royal family, this time they applied to deprive me of my title, and afterwards also recruited many old nobles to help out, I am afraid that Your Majesty will listen to their slander and really remove my title. ”

Although he had made up his mind to get closer to the military department, this title passed down from generation to generation by the Jian family meant a lot to him. He didn't want his ancestors to earn the title with great difficulty, and finally lost it in his own hands, how would he face the ancestors and ancestors under the spring in the future?!

Looking at his sad face, Jian Ling was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Instead of sitting and waiting, it's better to strike first." ”

Christine was slightly stunned: "You mean ......"

"I mean, cut the grass and eradicate the roots."

Rao is Christine, who thinks she has experienced a lot of ups and downs, still can't help but be stunned: "You let me destroy the Lai family?" ”

After speaking, he seemed to suddenly wake up, and smiled bitterly: "If I have the ability to destroy the Lai family, how can I worry about the complaint they handed to the palace now?!" ”

"I didn't let you do it yourself," Jian Ling said lightly, his expression calm and serene, "Don't forget, not only does the Jian family have a colonel now, but even I am married to General Xia, if I remember correctly, the fiancés of the other three sisters are also in the military department, right?" Now our whole family is tied to the military department, and if something happens to us, the military department will not sit idly by. ”

"What do you mean...... Is it to let the military department come forward? He was a little moved, but he was a little hesitant, "The tension between the old nobles and the military department has long been no secret, if the military department can get rid of the old nobles at once, how can they not do it until today?" I don't think it's that simple......"

"The military department didn't do it before, because it hindered the face of the royal family, after all, His Majesty the Emperor's status in the hearts of the people is still quite lofty, if he rashly collides with His Majesty the Emperor and arouses the anger of the people, it will not be good," Jian Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, covering a trace of cold light that flashed under his eyes, "Since their backer is the royal family, we will cut off the connection between them and the royal family and let them lose this backer." ”

“…… The Lai family and the royal family have been in frequent contact in the past, and it seems a little tricky to separate them. ”

Saying this shows that he has been thoroughly moved.

If it were normal, Christine would definitely not take such a risky step, but now the situation is special, if he doesn't do it again, what awaits him is the end of being stripped of his title. No matter what, even if he is unscrupulous, he still wants to keep the title of the Jian family!

This is the oath he made in front of his ancestors when he took over the position of head of the family from his father, and it must not be broken.

Jian Ling said what he thought in his heart unhurriedly: "The king's heart is unpredictable, since ancient times, emperors are the most suspicious, if they are for power, let alone just courtiers, even if they are father and son siblings, they can also turn against each other." ”

"Are you trying to frame the Lai family for rebellion?!" He blurted out, seeing that Jian Ling's eyes were as cold as ice, he knew that he was speechless, so he quickly lowered his voice, "This matter is very important, if there is a slight mistake, our whole family will have to die and be buried!" ”

"High risk and high reward, the world is like this," Jian Ling glanced at him lightly, obviously not afraid at all, calm and a little scary, "Now it is the Lai family who bullies us, if we don't return the color, how should our Jian family gain a foothold in the future?!" ”

"Yes...... This matter is too big, as long as the slightest rumor leaks out, the entire Jian family will be finished," although he hated the Lai family's domineering and arrogant, he never thought of such a big thing as a rebellion in the car. He hesitated and said, "Why don't we think of another way?" The left and right are just a complaint, let's find a way to apologize to the Lai family again, or go to His Majesty to ask for a favor, maybe this matter can be resolved. ”

"Yesterday I beat Lykin, and today they take advantage of this incident to make trouble in front of His Majesty, shouting that they will be stripped of their titles. Even if this matter is resolved, they will still find other excuses in the future to continue to trouble the Jian family, and when the time comes, will you still be able to apologize one by one and plead for mercy one by one? Jian Ling coldly extinguished the little luck he had left, "You know better than anyone else that the contradiction between the old nobles and the military department is not a matter of a day or two, as long as the Jian family continues to get close to the military department for a day, those people of the old nobles will definitely not give up, and in the end, maybe you will become cannon fodder for them to demonstrate to the military department." ”

It's straightforward and true.

Christine opened her mouth to defend herself, but she couldn't find a suitable reason to do so, and finally couldn't speak.

Seeing him like this, Jian Ling didn't dwell on this matter: "This matter is very important, think about it again, I'll go back to the room first." ”

With that, she stood up and left the study without looking back, leaving Christine alone in her leather chair frowning and contemplating.

The weather changes quickly, the cold wind blows quietly, and the quilt should be covered at night so as not to freeze the bird's feet. It's okay to gnaw on the bones, so that you can replenish calcium, remember to bubble more when you're free, and the rest of the bare eggs have a happy holiday! (*^__^*)
