Ling Bei remembered that when he walked into the Ling Mansion in Rongcheng, he realized that it was far more luxurious than he had imagined.

Ling Mansion is full of ancient garden buildings inside and outside, every plant, tree, brick and tile, low-key yet luxurious.

Even the Fang family and the Mo family cannot be compared.

But these are not the reasons why this manor impressed Ling Bei.

What he will never forget are the servants in the house who behaved like robots.

It was only then that Ling Bei finally understood where Ling Ganshan had inherited those almost harsh living habits.

Every move he makes is so routine that he seems to have no emotion. Every object in the house is placed strictly according to the standards. Even the relatives and family members who come and go in the mansion follow the rules as agreed upon.

There is no human touch in anything, just like a group of forcibly trained soldiers.

The old man of the Ling family has indeed carved his origins into every corner of the Ling family.

But these are not the most suffocating things, because the "military spirit" of the Ling family is mainly reflected in the education of the Ling family's children. After all, Ling Ganshan is not the only one who is deviant.

It was the first time that Ling Bei met his second uncle and sister-in-law.

Ling Ganshan is the eldest son of Mr. Ling. He also has a younger brother and a younger sister, Ling Bei's second uncle Ling Gansong and sister-in-law Ling Man. Ling Gansong and Ling Man are twins, two years younger than the eldest brother Ling Ganshan.

Ling Bei's grandmother, Mrs. Gu Xiang, Mr. Ling's only wife, had already exhausted her efforts when she gave birth to twins Ling Qiansong and Ling Man, and she passed away not long after the birth of the child.

Outsiders say that Mr. Ling is a man who misses old times. Mrs. Gu Xiang has passed away for many years and has never mentioned the matter of remarrying. Although the Ling family is full of glory, Mr. Ling is still a loving and righteous man who never forgets his wife.

These words are reserved for outsiders to see.

Even behind closed doors of Ling Mansion, everyone knew that Mr. Ling never lacked women by his side.

It's just that Mr. Ling has always been shrewd. For the sake of the peace of his family, he would not let anyone with intentions take the opportunity to seize the Ling family's financial rights. He has never let the same person serve him for more than a year. As for where these people will go after a year, let alone others. You will know.

Even so, there are still endless people who are willing to plunge into the bottomless pool of Ling Mansion without hesitation for the sake of temporary glory and wealth.

Of course, there is no doubt that these people have lost the bet. After all, with the Ling family's thunderous methods, it is impossible to have any mercy. Therefore, the tall image of the Ling family has always stood firm, let alone any so-called illegitimate children. Come out to perform a messy wealthy family drama.

What kind of family relationships will be cultivated in such a family?

Maybe the second young master, who was born frail and sick, resorted to self-mutilation just to win more trust and favor from his father.

Maybe the eldest brother learned his father's cold-bloodedness from an early age.

It may also be that my younger sister became the only one who volunteered to join the army for training and married herself early to a dying nobleman for the sake of wealth and power...

In short, this family is full of people who are as paranoid and crazy as Ling Bei's father. It's no wonder that Mr. Ling crawled out of the dead back then. What kind of family ties can compare with the glory he gained with his life?
