Chapter 171: Repentance
Although Xue Ling had long known that the second uncle had left a lot of shadow on Xue Yuan, she couldn't help but laugh when she heard Xue Yuan say it herself.
In fact, it is.
Xue Yuan said with emotion and said, "It would be nice if I had half the ability of my third sister." ”
Xue Ling laughed at what he said, "There is a specialization in the art industry, I believe that the eldest brother can make the second uncle proud of you, and one day the second uncle will be impressed by you." ”
Xue Yuan's eyes lit up, and then he dimmed and said, "If that's the case, then it's great, but I don't think it's possible." ”
He wasn't very confident after all.
Xue Ling smiled, "I told my eldest brother before, I am a woman, and I can't do many things myself, so I need two brothers to help me, I trust you, naturally I have my thoughts, I believe that my eldest brother will not disappoint me." ”
Xue Yuan's biggest expectation is naturally looking forward to being praised by his father one day, and this wish seems to be an unattainable goal for him.
He looked at Xue Ling, in the past few days of getting along, he knew the gap between himself and Xue Ling, and asked himself if he had this ability to replace him, and he didn't have this ambition, "I am naturally willing, and I hope that the third sister will mention more in the future." ”
When the two of them were talking, Xue Hao kept standing aside, listening quietly, his expression changing.
After Xue Yuan finished speaking, he said, "Third sister, then I'll go back and rest first." ”
With that, he turned around and went back to his room.
Xue Ling raised her feet and got up.
Xue Hao hesitated a little, but still called, "Third sister." ”
Xue Ling stopped, and sure enough, he took the bait.
"What's the matter with the second brother?"
Xue Hao hesitated a little and asked with concern, "Can the third sister really find out who reported the eldest brother through an anonymous letter?" ”
Xue Ling said with a smile, "Second brother cares so much about eldest brother? ”
Xue Hao seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and his voice was also fragmented, "It's all my own family, and I'm naturally worried about my eldest brother." ”
Xue Ling looked him up and down, and there was a clear understanding in his eyes, "Naturally, you can find out who did it." ”
This gaze made Xue Hao have nowhere to hide, he lowered his head, a little weak, but still asked, "If you find that person, what does my sister plan to do?" ”
Xue Ling frowned, "This person almost ruined the reputation of the Xue family, if it is someone from other families, this matter is not difficult,"
Xue Hao asked tentatively, "What will happen then?"
On a March day, at night, it was still cool, and the smile on Xue Ling's lips was shallow, and in this boundless night, it always gave Xue Hao a creepy feeling.
He couldn't help but shudder when he remembered Xue Ling's ease of dealing during the day, and the kind of resoluteness and resoluteness he had when he acted.
Xue Ling said, "The Xue family is just a short-term trough, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, if someone calculates the Xue family like this, once it is investigated and punished, no matter who comes from, the Xue family will not ignore it, even if I want to let this person go, the elders of the clan will not stop there, when I just went out, my uncle and grandfather also mentioned to me that I must find this person, and I must not be spared." ”
When Xue Hao heard this, he smiled more and more reluctantly, but he just sighed.
Xue Ling continued, "However, as far as I can see, the person who reported this is not from another family,"
She paused deliberately.
Xue Hao looked at it and immediately said, "How, how is it possible, if it weren't for other families, could it be that we still have people from the Xue family?" ”
Xue Ling glanced at Xue Hao, "If the second brother has time, let's go to the study and talk about it." ”
Xue Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively wanted to refuse.
Xue Ling didn't give him a chance.
I have lifted my feet and prepared immediately.
Xue Hao still stood still.
Xue Ling took three steps and half-turned around, "Of course, if the second brother is busy, forget it, I will only give you this chance." ”
Xue Hao's scalp was numb, and at this moment, he was almost sure that Xue Ling seemed to know the truth.
His steps seem to weigh a thousand pounds, and this whole day, since Xue Ling came forward to help Xue Yuan appeal and got the report letter, his heart has been up and down.
By this time, the emotions that had accumulated in my heart had reached their peak.
Xue Ling's back fell in his sight and gradually faded away.
Xue Hao looked at it, and only felt that the whole person was on the verge of collapse.
He kept convincing himself in his heart that there was nothing wrong with that letter, Xue Ling couldn't know who the person who reported it was, and there was no evidence, but he was uncontrollably uneasy in his heart.
After Xue Ling said this, he got up and left, never saying anything more.
As she walked towards the seventh step, footsteps could be heard from the deep back.
She let her heart down, this is a psychological tactic.
Xue Hao is not very old, even if she is a little more cautious than her peers, but she has always had a smooth ride, how can she be her opponent, sure enough.
Xue Ling walked into the study, and Xue Hao really followed.
Xue Ling said lightly, "Second brother, sit down." ”
Xue Ling pointed to the seat below.
Xue Hao sat down stiffly, "The third sister called me over, what is the matter?" ”
Xue Ling took out the letter from his sleeve and put it on the desk.
picked up Siyu's freshly brewed tea and took a sip, "Although this book is creditworthy, it is not difficult to find out who is behind the scenes, second brother, what do you say?" ”
Her words of simulating two things like this made Xue Hao extremely nervous.
He didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Xue Ling.
"Second brother, you should give me an explanation." Xue Ling said casually.
Finally saying this, Xue Ling looked at Xue Hao and told him that he had nowhere to hide.
"Me? What am I going to say? Xue Hao was still struggling with his last death.
"Tell me, what did you think of when you asked people to write this anonymous letter?"
Xue Ling said directly.
"The third sister is spewing blood, what does this have to do with me."
Xue Ling raised her eyes and said slowly, "Right now, I am the only one who knows, I care about my brotherhood and brotherhood, and I didn't make a big deal about it, but also to give the second brother a chance to take care of your face, the second brother is like this, it makes me embarrassed." ”
Xue Ling was not the Xue Ling of the previous life, she had her own majesty around her, which made Xue Hao fearful.
"What I just said to my eldest brother, you also heard it, I am a woman, and many things are not convenient to deal with personally, and it is impossible for the eldest brother to take care of all the properties of the Xue family alone, I need the second brother to help me, so I will give you a chance to selfishly,"
Xue Ling said very slowly, "If you go back to the Xue family, this letter will be handed over to the clan, with the temperament of the clan elders, I am afraid that it will soon be found on your head, when the time comes, what are you going to do?" ”
Xue Hao followed her thoughts, hesitating, "I, I, I." ”
I couldn't say a word for a long time
"If you are not satisfied with what the second brother said, the Jiang family is just that, the head of the Wu family has made it clear yesterday that he will support me in the future, and the Qiu family,"
She held the pendant in her hand, "You know better than I do what this pendant means." ”
The Qiu family is Xue Hao's foreign family, Xue Hao has been going to the Qiu family every year since he was a child, and he is naturally clear about the meaning of this pendant.
Xue Ling's meaning he understood that Xue Ling had been recognized by the four major families, and the position of the head of the family was firmly seated, and once he sat firmly, no one could replace him.
This is the reality, and it is an unwritten rule for many years.
"Second brother," Xue Ling said, "If the second brother still has nothing to say, please go back." ”
Xue Hao turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth and said, "The anonymous letter was indeed written by me. ”
This sentence seemed to use all his strength.
It was also at this moment that Xue Hao realized that the girl in front of him was terrible.
In terms of psychology and tactics, he is no opponent at all.
I don't know when it started, but he was already involved in all his emotions.
Lost completely.
Xue Ling took a piece of rice paper from the table and handed it to Xue Hao.
"The second brother left a letter of repentance, and the matter was omitted."
"Repentance, repentance?" Xue Hao was dumbfounded.
"You have done such a wrong thing in vain in disregard of your brotherhood and the reputation of the Xue family, if you don't leave a letter of repentance, how can I rest assured that you will be used." Xue Ling said.
"I'll go back and ask," Xue Hao thought to himself.
"Have you asked the third uncle when you go back?" Xue Ling smiled, "If this matter is borne by you now, even if you make a mistake, it is just because you have not been involved deeply, there is still room for repentance, if the third uncle is also involved, instructing the young son, framing the nephew, such a crime is detained, at his age, you say that he can't afford it." ”
Xue Yuan was flustered by what Xue Ling said.
He wrote a letter of repentance and handed it to Xue Ling with a dazed expression.
Xue Ling picked up the rice paper and blew the ink on the paper.
"Go back and rest early, the Xue family's property is still counting on the two brothers to help take care of it after all."
All the way back to the Xue family, the elders of the Xue family met at the gate.
Xue Ling calmly got out of the car and saluted one by one.
Xue Chengjing looked at Xue Ling, nodded, and said, "We have heard that Ah Ling has passed the witch doctor exam, and today she will bow down to her ancestors and officially take over the position of the head of the family." ”
Xue Ling said, "Okay." ”
Xue Jihong didn't come, only Xue Jiman stood in the front row, looking at his son with a look of six gods and no owner, a little puzzled, but in front of everyone, he couldn't ask, so he could only press and not mention.
In the ancestral hall, Xue Ling bowed to the spiritual seat of the ancestors, and said loudly, "Today in front of the ancestors' spirits, Xue Ling took over the position of the head of the family, and from today on, he will take on the heavy responsibility of the Xue family, uphold the group training, and practice medicine to save people." ”
After bowing, Xue Chengjing said, "According to the rules of the Xue family, Ah Ling can now move into the memorial hall." I don't know what you think? ”
Xue Ling pondered, "I have a request, this memorial hall is too dull, I am a daughter's house after all, I want to rearrange the entire courtyard." ”
Several clan elders were a little dumbfounded.
The memorial hall represents the entire Xue family, and over the years, even if there is occasional rest, it has remained the same.
Several people looked at each other, for them, Xue Ling would not be in this position for too long.
Xue Jihong said, "Ah Ling, you just took over as the head of the family, so it's not good to make such a big fanfare. Otherwise, if you take over your father's last wish and become the next witch master of Gangneung, you can change this memorial hall to whatever you want. ”
