After listening to his grandson's narration, Xia Lianbo shook his head and sighed. How could they guess the emperor's thoughts and the royal family's methods?

"Well! Well, let's leave it at that."

Xia Lianbo said, and then he changed the subject, glanced at his third son, and said, "Also, don't do what you taught Xiaoli today in the future. Otherwise, you will not only harm yourself, but also Xiaoli."

The third son of the Xia family, Xia Li's father, was sweating profusely.

It was he who taught his daughter to ask Ling Lanxin and Ling Zhou to test the royal family's attitude towards the Ling siblings from China.

He is still unwilling to give in and wants to use the brother and sister to do something!"

"Don't worry, father. I won't be confused anymore."

Xia Li's father said quickly.

"Um!"

Xia Lianbo nodded and left the small hall.

…

On a road leading to the palace, a luxurious and magnificent convoy was driving quickly.

"Sister, Ling Yue and Ling Liang should be 14 years old this year, right?"

In the car, Ling Zhou held a glass of red wine and looked out the window and said.

"Yeah! A year has passed so quickly."

Ling Lanxin smiled.

"Sister, how have this little brother and sister performed over the past year?"

Ling Zhou asked.

Ling Lanxin smiled, straightened her hair, and said, "Sister Lingyue is a little scheming, otherwise the Xia family girl wouldn't know their identities. According to observation, the people who know their identities in school are all children from big families. And all of this was done deliberately by sister. As for the brother, he's a little stupid. Of course, when I say stupid, I mean he's a little stupid in studying. Um! Commonly known as a nerd."

Hearing this, Ling Zhou couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, recalling the voice and appearance of the little girl Ling Yue in his mind.

At such a young age, he already knows how to use his strengths to build personal connections.

Although this intention seemed a little ridiculous to them.

But don't forget that Ling Yue is only a 14-year-old girl.

Moreover, she had only been in Lanling for less than a year, and during this year, she had been in school for a long time, let alone seen the world.

The most worldly-wise time was when they arrived in Lanling not long ago and their father Ling Wenbo celebrated his birthday, and he asked his siblings to attend the birthday party together.

But a year ago, she was just a country girl.

"So, regarding the siblings, what are your plans for the future?"

Ling Zhou asked.

Ling Lanxin smiled, holding the wine glass, shaking it a few times, and said with a smile: "Let's make arrangements according to what was decided before. If they are capable, then make arrangements based on their abilities. If they are mediocre in all aspects, then let them have no worries about food and clothing, and give them a rich life. Why? Why did my brother think of asking this? Do you have any ideas?"

Ling Zhou nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll go see them in a few days."

Ling Lanxin turned around and looked at her brother in surprise, then nodded and said, "Okay, if I have time, I'll go with you."

Ling Zhou smiled, looked out the window and stopped talking.

…

Soon, the car returned to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Ling Zhou and Ling Lanxin went directly to Ling Wenbo's study on the second floor of the main hall to report on the situation of the Xia family.

At this time, news about the royal family's punishment on the Xia family had already spread to the upper-class wealthy circles in Lanling.

After all, there are hundreds of people in the Xia family, and many of them have different thoughts. Unless they are deliberately blocked, they cannot be concealed at all.

Of course, neither the royal family nor the Xia family intended to hide it.

When hearing these three punishments, some people gasped, while others gloated.

In a small circle.

"Haha! The Xia family is going to be seriously hurt now. We have a chance now."

"Yes! The Xia family's wealth has shrunk by half. It seems that each of our families can also make some moves."

"It's a pity that the Xia family's companies were all preserved."

"It's a pity. Although the Xia family has lost half of their wealth, as long as these companies are still there and as long as the royal family still protects them, they will still be one of the four major families in Lanling."

"That's true, but don't worry, the Xia family has lost the favor of the royal family this time."

"Yes, besides, our families are also part of Lanling. I think even if we target the Xia family, suppress the Xia family, and become the new generation of the four great families of Lanling, the royal family will not stand up for the Xia family to stop us."

"Yes! The Xia family was able to avoid the disaster of genocide this time, but it was only because of the protection of our ancestors."

"However, the Xia family is also lucky. Although they were punished, they also tasted a sweet taste!"

"Royal training camp, tsk tsk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a feeling of envy and jealousy spread throughout the hall.

"So, if you want to get a piece of the pie, you have to act quickly. I have suggested that we work together."

Someone said hatefully.

After these words were spoken, the scene fell silent for a moment.

“Hehe! It doesn’t matter. Even if the younger generation of the Xia family enters the royal training camp, it will take at least ten years, or even decades, for them to grow up.”

"Well, if the Xia family is destroyed by then, without the support of the family, what will happen to these Xia family juniors, even if they come from the royal training camp? Other families will not allow them to grow up."

"Yes! Entering the royal training camp only means that you have a bright future, but it doesn't mean that you will definitely grow up. There have been such examples before."
