Chapter 163, the undercurrent is surging
Cheng Feng's gaffe made Cheng Kunan shake his head, and couldn't help but say: "This kid is almost stunned, it's really a misfortune for the family!" ”
Mrs. Cheng was unhappy again, her son was her red line, she couldn't say, she couldn't beat, she couldn't scold, and after hearing her husband's dissatisfaction, she immediately retorted: "What's wrong with Feng'er, why can't you get into your eyes, what is wrong with my son besides infatuation?" ”
"I didn't say that he was bad, I meant to say that he shouldn't lose his fighting spirit because of a woman, he is the future head of the Cheng family, if he is so decadent, how can he carry the burden of the family in the future."
"If you can't bear it, you won't carry it, as long as my son is happy and happy, I'll be satisfied, don't complain about him in the future, it takes time for him to come out, don't force him to be too anxious!"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Madame, I won't say it in the future, I won't say it again."
……
The Lin family compound is a very mysterious place, and almost all the main members of the Nanyang Lin family live in this courtyard, which is not a manifestation of their unity, but is bound by the ancestral teachings, requiring future generations to live together.
Maybe the ancestors' idea is good, their original intention is to let everyone huddle together for warmth, even if the brothers and sisters do not agree with each other, in the face of foreign enemy aggression, they can also achieve unity with the outside world, after all, everyone's home is here.
It is said to be a compound, but it is actually a large manor, covering a wide area, with all the shops and schools in it, just like a small city.
Lin Pusheng is the fourth master of the Lin family, that is, Lin Wan's fourth uncle, and one of the main rulers of the Lin family, this is a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, he is sitting in the study at the moment, with his eyes closed and not knowing what he is thinking.
After a while, several cronies of the family and his youngest son came to the study one after another.
He had a total of two sons, the eldest son suffered from fever when he was young, and his mind became stupid and silly because of the lack of timely rescue, and his younger son was actually an illegitimate child, in order to save his reputation, he declared to the public that this was the child he raised from outside.
He named his youngest son Lin Danyang, hoping that he could bring him good luck, implying Danfeng Chaoyang's wish.
After the eldest brother and his wife were killed and the second brother and his wife died, he gradually gained the appreciation of the elders in the family and gradually sat in today's position.
Now he is only one step away from the head of the family, and the biggest obstacle in front of him is his good niece Lin Dantong.
In order to remove this obstacle, he and his cronies racked their brains, but the result was never successful.
Since there were also a large number of supporters of the eldest lady's lineage, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only find a way to force Lin Wan to take the initiative to abdicate and voluntarily give up the throne of the head of the family.
Lin Danyang poured his father a cup of tea.
"Dad, I have a good relationship with Dantong's sister as a childhood sweetheart, and then because of Cheng Feng's entanglement, Dantong's sister ran away from marriage, which made us cut off contact, and now we have learned the news of Dantong, you look at our affairs..."
"Fourth brother, Danyang and Dantong have no blood relationship, it stands to reason that there is no problem with them getting married, we are all optimistic about this family business, if they can get married, we and the main vein are kisses and relatives!" A relative of the family echoed.
Lin Pusheng nodded, he also had this plan, let his youngest son marry his niece, and then use the clan rules to gradually seize the power of the family in disguise, and when the time came, the position of the head of the family would naturally be at his fingertips.
As for his cousin marrying his cousin, in his opinion, it is not a problem, in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, it is not uncommon for close relatives to marry, not to mention, his son's identity is well hidden, almost everyone thinks that Lin Danyang is just his adopted son.
"Dantong's child is not sensible, and after he went to the mainland, he got married privately and married a poor boy named Li Mu, which really disgraced the Lin family." Another person complained.
"Hmph, I heard that she was abandoned and divorced by others, and the dignified Miss Shoulin was abandoned by others like clogs, pretending to be high in front of us." A middle-aged man said angrily.
"Seventh Uncle, don't talk about Dantong like that." Lin Danyang glanced at him dissatisfied, "Li Mu abandoned her, because he has no blessing and doesn't know how to cherish her, if Sister Dantong is willing to give me this opportunity, I will definitely cherish her forever!" ”
"Okay, Uncle Seventh said the wrong thing, everyone, what should we do next?"
Lin Pusheng touched his chin and pondered for a long time, then said slowly: "Let's not force her for the time being, be careful that things will be reversed, and we will make plans after she returns to Nanyang." ”
"Back to the South Seas?" The seventh master sneered, "Fourth brother, people are looking for husbands all over the world now, how can they have the heart to return to Nanyang." ”
These words were inexplicable, Lin Pusheng didn't understand them at all, and looked at the seventh brother in surprise.
The seventh master explained to him: "According to the report, the dead girl continued to pester Li Mu after the divorce, the latter was unbearable and ran away from home, and the girl was looking for him all over the world, and this is the case." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone talked about it, and they all agreed that Lin Wan's move was really embarrassing and home, and it was really a loss of the identity of the eldest lady of the Lin family.
"Dad, it seems that Dantong is not dead to Li Mu, that kid is not dead, Dantong and I have never had a chance, this obstacle must be removed." Lin Danyang said to his father.
Lin Pusheng nodded slowly, and said slowly: "What Danyang said makes sense, that girl has always been obsessed with Li Mu, we need to find a way to break her thoughts, so that she can change her mind." In addition, she is very embarrassed to look like this, she can't be allowed to continue to ruin the face of the Lin family, this Li Mu must be removed! ”
"The fourth brother, the third brother and the fifth brother left in a hurry some time ago, and they took away many masters of the main vein, you say, can it be related to Li Mu." A tall middle-aged man said suddenly.
Lin Pusheng's brows furrowed, and he replied with some doubts: "It doesn't matter much, why would the eighth brother think over there." ”
"Fourth brother, this one thing alone is not enough to remind me of Li Mu, and there is another thing that makes me have to think so."
"Oh, what else?"
"That's right, the main vein didn't make any disguise on this trip, and the hurried appearance is very suspicious, and their destination is a southern city on the mainland, and the person who gave them the order is Hongsao."
Lin Pusheng's eyes narrowed, and he asked with interest, "Is it the red sister-in-law next to Dantong?" ”
The thin middle-aged man nodded and responded: "Fourth brother, sister-in-law Hong has always been wise, this kind of stupid trick is not her style of acting, this move shows that she is a little confused, just ask, who can make her so flustered?" ”
His words made everyone in the room thoughtful.
Yes, with the wisdom of Sister-in-law Hong, it is rare to lose her coolness, what can make her so impulsive, the answer is already coming out.
"Dad, what are we going to do?" Lin Danyang asked anxiously.
Lin Pusheng waved his hand, asked his son to calm down for a while, and asked the tall and thin man: "Eighth brother, tell me your judgment!" ”
The name of the tall and thin man is Lin Pujun, who is alert and intelligent, and is a wise man of the fourth master's lineage.
After hearing the fourth brother's inquiry, he replied unhurriedly: "Fourth brother, according to the judgment of the younger brother, this matter should be related to Li Mu, he should be hiding in that city, and he may have a new backer, this backer makes Dantong and the others feel troublesome, so they lost their cool and transferred troops from the rear." ”
Lin Pusheng nodded slowly.
"Eight, what do you think we should do?"
"Cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" Lin Pujun replied without hesitation, "What Danyang said is extremely true, Dantong will never forget Li Mu, if he doesn't die, Danyang will never be able to marry Dantong." ”
"Dad, what the eighth uncle said is right, Li Mu is not dead, it is impossible for Sister Dantong to die, this person must be eliminated as soon as possible, I plan to find Li Mu's whereabouts in person, I must kill him with my own hands!" Lin Danyang said hatefully.
Lin Pujun echoed on the side: "Fourth brother, I can accompany Danyang to go together, please rest assured, as long as we find someone, there is no possibility of him escaping." ”
Lin Pusheng crossed his hands, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, then please trouble the eighth brother to accompany the child on a trip, how to do it, you two can discuss it yourself!" ”
Lin Pujun nodded and agreed.
Lin Pusheng continued: "You have another purpose for going this time, that is, to bring Dantong back, the clan meeting of the eight major families is about to start, and she, the head of the family, must show up, she is in her position and does not seek politics, so what are you doing in that position!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone said yes, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, and driving Lin Wan from the position of the head of the family was their ultimate goal, and the other reasons were just a pretense.
After everyone dispersed, Lin Danyang invited Lin Pujun to his residence alone, and after entering the house, he invited the latter to sit on the main seat and personally poured him a cup of tea.
"Eighth Uncle, what should we do exactly, and please teach me Uncle Eight?"
Lin Pujun stilted Erlang's legs and said happily: "Silly nephew, it's not difficult to say that this matter is difficult, it's not difficult to say, the key depends on how you and my uncle and nephew make a move?" ”
"What does Uncle Eighth mean by this, please tell your nephew."
"Danyang, it's not difficult to say, it means that it's not difficult to find someone, as long as we follow Lin Dantong, we will have news of Li Mu."
Lin Danyang nodded, and asked with some understanding: "When Eighth Uncle said that it is difficult, does he mean how to get rid of Li Mu?" ”
Lin Pusheng said with a smile: "Yes, Li Mu must be killed, not only to kill, but also to get rid of it as soon as possible, only in this way can Dantong's thoughts be extinguished, but well, we can't kill it, at least, you and I can't leave the pretext of killing." ”
Lin Danyang suddenly realized.
"I understand, once we do it, we will definitely have a grudge against Sister Dantong, even if the obstacles are cleared, I will not have a chance to marry her."
