Chapter 37: Accomplice 1

Ling Jingshu's eyes flickered, and her expression was calm: "I have said what I should say very clearly. With your intelligence and wisdom, you should have understood it long ago."

What Ling Jingshu said was not obscure and difficult to understand. As long as you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand the meaning.

Ling Ting pursed his lips, and his face changed under the candlelight.

"Li is our common enemy. With our current strength, it is not easy to deal with Li. We can only start from Li's greatest reliance and her greatest weakness."

Ling Jingshu said slowly: "A child of only six years old may fall when walking, choke when eating, fall into the water accidentally when walking by the pool, or be curious and insist on learning to ride a horse, and the docile horse suddenly goes crazy... All kinds of accidents may cause a child to die. No matter how carefully the servants take care of him, there will always be times when they can't take care of him. Big brother, don't you think so?"

Ling Ting: "..."

Ling Ting took a breath and looked at Ling Jingshu's eyes as if he was looking at a stranger he didn't know at all.

Is this still the gentle and docile Ling Jingshu? Speaking of these dark and cruel methods so lightly, it makes people feel cold.

Ling Jingshu didn't look at Ling Ting, and continued to talk to herself: "Li was able to win the favor of my father only because she gave birth to a legitimate son. If she lost her son, she would be heartbroken and lose her greatest confidence. Even if she wanted to have another child in the future, she might not be so lucky to have a boy in one go, and she might not be able to raise him safely."

"I will take Xiao to the capital for treatment. If his eyes are cured, I will send him to the best academy. If Doctor Wei can't cure his eye disease, I will look for other famous doctors. In short, my sister and I will never return to Dingzhou again."

"You are the only son left by my father. Even if you are born out of wedlock, no one will dare to underestimate you. In the future, the family business of the five houses will be yours."

"This family business is in front of you. It depends on whether you have the courage to take it."

......

Ling Ting's chest rose and fell violently, his right hand clenched into a fist trembled slightly, and the expression on his face was complicated and indescribable.

After Ling Jingshu finished speaking, she stopped talking.

After a while, Ling Ting finally made up his mind and let out a long breath: "Are you and A Xiao really not going back to Dingzhou?"

Without waiting for Ling Jingshu to answer, he continued to talk to himself: "Maybe you are just trying to deceive me, and when I really make up my mind and do it, I will leak this matter to my father. By then, I, a bastard who dares to murder my brother, will not be able to escape death. Only you two siblings are left in the fifth room. This trick is a good plan to kill two birds with one stone!"

Ling Jingshu did not deny it, but smiled: "Big brother is indeed thoughtful and cautious. In these years, big brother has been hiding his talents and pretending to be mediocre, and he has concealed it from everyone."

The words have been spoken, and there is nothing to hide anymore.

Ling Ting simply let it go and admitted frankly: "You are right. In fact, I have long suspected that Li was the mastermind back then. But I have no evidence, and I am a weak person. If I speak out rashly, it will only cause trouble."

"What you just said really moved me. But how do I know if you are using me and selling me out after the matter is done?"

She really did not make a mistake.

Sixteen-year-old Ling Ting is scheming, scheming, and ambitious. It's just that he has no chance to "show his strengths".

Because of the Lu family, she doesn't want to stay in Dingzhou for too long. To deal with Li, Ling Ting is the best candidate.

Ling Jingshu raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I swear a poisonous oath now. Xiao and I will never return to Dingzhou and give up the family business of the fifth house. Do you believe my poisonous oath?"

Ling Ting's eyes flickered, and he uttered two words after a long time: "I don't believe it."

People have two skins, and they leave no trace after they say it.

If swearing a poisonous oath worked, there wouldn't be so many treacherous people in the world.

Ling Jingshu shrugged slightly and said nonchalantly: "If you don't believe me, then I can't do anything about it. Let's forget what we talked about tonight, and just pretend that you never came!"

Ling Ting: "..."

Are you trying to play a trick on him? !

Such an important conspiracy, involving a life, the future of the fifth house... and his future, how can it be treated as a joke? !

Ling Ting's face was not very good, but he didn't move a step.

"Since you don't believe me, why don't you just walk away?" Ling Jingshu asked knowingly.

Ling Ting's mouth twitched a few times before he squeezed out a few words: "I don't disbelieve you. However, for such an important matter, I really can't rest assured without a certificate."

Ling Jingshu was not surprised to hear this request, but she refused without thinking: "No. There must be no evidence for such a thing. What if you are not in a good position and are discovered, or you use this to inform Li and seek credit, wouldn't we become fish on the chopping board."

"You don't dare to trust me, how can I trust you? If we are so suspicious of each other, let's not talk about what happened tonight."

"I hate Li and don't want to see her live happily. And you want more. You want the family business of the fifth room, you want your father's love, you want everyone's respect. You want so much, but you don't want to take any risks. There is no such good thing in the world."

Speaking of this, Ling Jingshu's pretty face turned cold, and her tone also revealed a bit of coldness: "I have said everything. What choice you make is all up to you."

......

This time, Ling Ting was silent for a long, long time.

He thought of Aunt Xia's tragic death, of the desolation of being a concubine, of Mr. Li's disdain when she occasionally looked at him, of his father's love for his youngest son...

The resentment and unwillingness that were usually hidden deep in my heart all surged into my heart at this time, converging into a raging torrent, stirring endlessly in my heart.

His mother died in disguised form at the hands of the Li family, and his miserable life over the years was all thanks to the Li family. Is he just going to live his whole life like this?

With such a good opportunity in front of him, why didn't he dare to give it a try?

Ling Ting's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, his palms were wet, all the blood in his body was rushing to his mind, and his handsome face turned red.

Ling Jingshu gradually calmed down.

If Ling Ting didn't want to, he would have turned around and left long ago. He was so hesitant at this moment precisely because he had this thought.

Wealth and wealth are found in danger. Ling Ting will definitely nod!

"Sister, I have one last question." Ling Ting finally spoke: "When you get married in the future, you will have a dowry. But as for Ah Xiao, how can you be sure that he is willing to give up the family business?"

Ling Jingshu responded without hesitation: "After Axiao goes to the capital, he will have a better future. This family fortune seems to be worth more than a thousand gold in your eyes, but it is worthless in the eyes of our siblings."

After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at Ling Ting: "Brother, if you make up your mind, we will form an alliance today and make a poisonous oath. No matter whether things succeed or not, we must keep it secret and never reveal what happened tonight. "

Ling Ting gritted his teeth and responded resolutely: "Okay."

Ling Jingshu calmed down all her expressions and solemnly swore an oath: "Your Majesty, I, Ling Jingshu, swear here. As long as my brother does what he promised, my brother Ling Xiao and I will never return to Dingzhou in this life and are willing to give up our five-bedroom home." Karma. If I violate this oath in the future, I, Ling Jingshu, will be struck by lightning and die."

Ling Ting calmed down and made a poisonous oath.

After each made an oath, it was considered an alliance. When he spoke again, there was no more twists and turns.

"Are you and Ah Xiao really leaving tomorrow?"

"All the clothes and luggage have been packed. We will set off with my uncle and the others early tomorrow morning."

"Do the Lu brothers know that you are leaving?" Ling Ting asked subconsciously.

Ling Jingshu looked indifferent: "What does my leaving have to do with them? Why let them know."

.....It seems that Ling Jingshu really has no good impressions of the Lu brothers. Maybe he hid his trip to the capital just to hide it from them.

Ling Ting was thinking about lightning, and did not dwell on this issue. He whispered: "Sister, if things come true in the future, I will order someone to send a letter to you."
