Luoyang Brocade Chapter 36: Night Talk (2)
Just a few words, like a groundbreaking statement.
After all, Ling Ting is still a young man who is not deeply involved in the world. Even if there are some palaces, he is far from being able to hide his thoughts at any time. At this time, his eyes were full of shock, and he was filled with guilt and panic after having his secret revealed. He didn't have the courage to look into Ling Jingshu's bright and striking eyes, and lowered his head subconsciously.
After Ling Jingshu said this, she stopped talking and just looked at Ling Ting with a half-smile.
The room was silent.
Only the faint sound of the burning candle lingered in my ears.
Ling Ting's heart was like a candle, flickering and flickering. After a moment, he pretended to be calm and said, "Did my sister specially call me here just to say these useless words?"
Ling Jingshu looked at Ling Ting deeply: "This is not useless nonsense, but is closely related to eldest brother's future. Hasn't eldest brother carefully thought about and planned the future?"
Why not!
This question often comes to mind. But there are some things that cannot be fulfilled just by thinking about them.
Ling Ting smiled self-deprecatingly and said calmly: "Everyone has dignity and ambition, and no one wants to be inferior to others. However, I was born a commoner, and my biological mother died early, leaving no one to protect me. You and Ah Xiao still have My grandmother favored me, and Ah Yuan was my father and mother's favorite. I was just a concubine, and I had no extraordinary talent in reading. It would be good to be a member of the imperial examination in the future. The chances of passing the examination were slim. ”
"If I can find a good marriage arrangement, maybe I can have a chance to turn around by leveraging the influence of my in-laws' family. I am already sixteen years old, and my father and mother have not arranged the marriage arrangements for me so far. They clearly have not arranged my marriage. I take this **** to heart. Even if you want to marry me in the future, I probably won’t choose a good marriage."
At this point, there was a trace of resentment in Ling Ting's tone.
Maybe it was because he had been suppressed for too long. Even though he knew that Ling Jingshu in front of him was not the best person to confide in, Ling Ting still couldn't help but continued: "No one cares about me in the house, and no one loves me. What qualifications do you have to think about and plan for the future? If you ask me this, is it any different from ridiculing me?"
When I said the last sentence, I was gritting my teeth as my scars were revealed. The upright and handsome face is also a little distorted.
Ling Ting does have his pitiable qualities.
A child without his mother is like a grass. The siblings were direct children, and they were looked after by Mrs. Ling, so their life in Ling's house was pretty good. Ling Ting did not have such good luck. Fifth Master Ling turned his anger on his eldest son because of Aunt Xia's incident back then, and treated him extremely coldly.
Li Shi was vicious and cruel, and she neither wanted to let them go, nor forgot to deal with Ling Ting. He deliberately arranged a "good" marriage for Ling Ting.
The other party is the daughter of a military commander, a serious legitimate daughter, and has a large dowry, so everything sounds good. But this woman was dissolute by nature, unchaste before marriage, and restless after marriage. But he also has some skills and is very aggressive. Poor Ling Ting lives his life as a useless cuckold, barely able to hold his head up in front of others.
Now that she is reborn, she not only wants to change her and Ling Xiao's fate, but the fate of those around her will also be affected, which is completely different from her previous life.
"I didn't mean to ridicule you." Ling Jingshu threw another thunderbolt lightly: "I want to give my eldest brother a bright future. I just want to see if my eldest brother has the courage to accept it."
A bright future?
Ling Ting's eyes flashed continuously, and it was obvious that he was extremely uneasy inside. However, he did not rush to get to the bottom of it and listened patiently.
Ling Jingshu deliberately kept the topic secret and changed the topic: "How did Aunt Xia die back then? Do you still remember it?"
Ling Ting pursed his lips.
How could you not remember?
Aunt Xia passed away five years ago. He was already eleven years old at that time, already old enough to remember. He saw with his own eyes that his biological mother, who was as beautiful as a flower, became sick and haggard day after day, crying all day long, hoping that his father would come and see her.
Unfortunately, Fifth Master Ling was so angry and cold-hearted because of the incident that Ling Xiao lost his sight due to wrestling, that he never saw Aunt Xia again. Aunt Xia died of depression.
At the moment of death, he was the only one kneeling beside the bed. My eyes are swollen from crying, my voice is hoarse from crying...
Recalling the situation that day, Ling Ting's eyes quietly turned red.
Ling Jingshu's voice rang in her ears: "Speaking of it, this is actually a confusing account. Ah Xiao's eyesight is gone, and his father didn't find the real murderer behind the scenes, so he vented his anger on Aunt Xia. Poor Aunt Xia couldn't defend herself and kept her injustice. And die..."
Ling Ting's whole body was shocked, and he suddenly raised his head: "What did you say?"
"Big brother has heard clearly what I said."
Ling Jingshu said slowly and clearly: "The incident of Ah Xiao's wrestling injury had nothing to do with Aunt Xia. All of this was caused by Li in secret. She secretly ordered people to make the ground beside the rockery slippery and easy. She fell down and asked someone to lead Ah Xiao over. Ah Xiao fell down and hit his head on the rockery and was injured, all of which were part of her plan. The person in charge at the time was Aunt Xia, while Mrs. Li was raising a fetus in the yard. Who was it? I won’t be suspicious of her."
"She not only harmed Ah Xiao, but also framed Aunt Xia, and got rid of her inner circle of troubles in one fell swoop. Then she gave birth to a son who won all the favor of his father, and naturally took over the fifth house. It was just a matter of killing two birds with one stone!"
Ling Ting's chest was heaving, and his face was flushed with anger. He barely maintained his composure: "These are just your guesses. You have no definite evidence to prove that it was Li who harmed A Xiao and remarried. Woe to Aunt Xia."
Ling Jingshu twitched her lips: "I really have no evidence, everything is just my guess. You might as well think about it, who is the biggest beneficiary of this matter? Whoever benefits the most is the murderer behind the scenes. From this idea, it can be inferred that ~IndoMTL.com~ must be Li’s family."
"Think about it again, what are the benefits of Aunt Xia's murder of Ah Xiao? At that time, the Li family had already passed the family, and the son would be the legitimate son. Even if Aunt Xia harmed Ah Xiao, you, a bastard, would not become the legitimate son. Retreat. To put it another way, let’s assume that Aunt Xia really had this intention. At that time, Aunt Xia was in charge, and if any accident happened, she would be suspected. If Aunt Xia was smarter, she would not choose to take action at that time."
"Over the years, I have been thinking about what happened back then. After thinking about it over and over again, I finally figured out the inside story. Brother must have thought hard about it many times! You may not have suspected Li in your heart, but Kunai There is no evidence, so I dare not reveal it at all. Otherwise, she will notice it and take action against you again!"
Ling Ting: "..."
Ling Ting bit his lips tightly, with hatred in his eyes.
No need to say anything, his expression said it all!
Ling Jingshu had been paying close attention to the changes in Ling Ting's expression, and continued slowly: "Li's heart is cruel, and now she has won over her father's heart, and she also has a favored young son. Of course, our siblings You are a thorn in her side. You, a bastard, are also a thorn in her flesh. If she wants to deal with you, she only needs to do something about your marriage."
These words spoke to Ling Ting's most secret worries.
Ling Jingshu looked straight at Ling Ting: "Brother, don't you want to avenge Aunt Xia? Don't you want to be the pillar of the fifth house? Now there is the best opportunity in front of you."
Ling Ting took a deep breath and said calmly: "No need to beat around the bush. What exactly do you want me to do?"
