Chapter 17 She's Worse than a Pig Brain
"You bastard, can't you stand up straighter for me? We, the Ling family, have all been embarrassed by you..."
Before Ling Luoyu could stand firm, Ling Bufan came over with a roar.
Tao Ding closed the door behind him and laughed softly.
"Master, there are no outsiders now, so you should stop acting..."
Ling Luoyu originally wanted to straighten up, but when he heard these words, he felt something unusual.
"What's the meaning?"
"Dad, don't beat around the bush when talking to her...Speak directly when you have something to say, her brain...is worse than a pig's brain! If you talk around a little bit, it will become blurry!" Ling Yunxi suddenly said this while drinking tea.
"..."
Three people and six eyes locked onto Ling Luoyu.
Ling Luoyu looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and he already had an idea in his mind.
She and the former Ling Luoyu are completely different people. The Ling family should be aware of this change.
The house is closed today, and it looks like she is going to be interrogated!
Ling Luoyu raised his eyes calmly and slightly: "Grandpa, second uncle, Grandpa Tao, if you have questions, just ask, and if you have anything to say, just say..."
"Do you know...why you were beaten by Fang Cheng?"
Unexpectedly, Ling Bufan asked such a question.
"Strive for...the actor..." Ling Luoyu replied carefully.
This was what happened in her memory, but from the looks of it, it didn't seem to be the case.
"Hmph! I knew you were a useless thing but didn't know that!"
Ling Bufan shouted angrily and motioned to Ling Yunxi to explain to her.
"Yu'er, originally we didn't plan to tell you this matter...because it would be useless to tell you..."
Ling Luoyu, that good-for-nothing, just barely considered a thief as his father. She wouldn't believe anything he told her.
"But now, we see that you have become a lot more sensible in the past two days, and there was another assassination tonight... I discussed it with your two grandfathers and decided to tell you about our family's situation...
…”
"Oh..." Ling Luoyu responded carelessly.
She thought she was asking why she had changed into a different person, but she didn't expect it was about something else.
"You were beaten... Actually, the thing was not against you! It was the Xiao family who was forcing me to take action..."
Xiao family?
Ling Luoyu thought for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Is it the Xiao family of Dingjiang King Xiao Tongzhou?"
Xiao Tongzhou and Ling Bufan were of the same age, and they joined the army at the same time. Later, they also made great achievements in the army, killing countless enemies. Together with Ling Bufan, they became generals who suppressed the northern and southern borders. They were named King of Dingjiang by the emperor.
It is equivalent to Ling Bufan's title.
"Xiao Tongzhou and I call each other brothers on the surface, but secretly they compete with me secretly. This makes us both control an equal number of armies at the same time... We are separated from the north and the south, restricting each other..."
Ling Luoyu thought of something and frowned slightly.
"We two old men are equally matched, and so is my son... His three sons are all brave warriors on the battlefield. They are also equally matched opponents with your father, the second uncle... However, among his grandchildren... they are not as good as you.
There’s a lot of potential…”
The corner of Ling Luoyu's lips twitched, but he was speechless.
What saddened Ling Bufan the most was that she failed to live up to expectations, making him unable to hold his head high in front of his former colleagues and even subordinates.
"Later, I resigned and went into seclusion, and Xiao Tongzhou also resigned and returned to his fields... The difference is that his descendants are still in charge of important positions in the military, while our Ling family... became idlers in desolation..."
