Chapter 368 Asking for Itself
Ling Yanli was naturally unwilling to give up, and she waited outside the office until it was almost dark, when Jiang Tangtang came out and immediately rushed over.
Ling Yanli looked at Jiang Tangtang, so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and her words were stuttering, "Mrs. Lu...you...I..."
Jiang Tangtang frowned slightly, not remembering who the woman in front of her was.
Ling Yanli quickly introduced herself and knelt on the ground. "Mrs. Lu, it was because I was confused back then. I was bewitched by that bitch Jiang Caiwei and caused trouble for you again and again. I beg you to forgive me and spare our family!"
Although Jiang Tang had the original owner's memories, he didn't often look through them. As for the bullying the original owner had suffered in the past, he was too busy to dwell on it.
But Ling Yanli's words reminded her of something that happened a long time ago.
She hadn't taken it seriously before, having forgotten about it because she was busy. But now that she had bumped into her...
Jiang Tangtang raised an eyebrow and said slowly, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought of settling the score with you. Now that you've come to remind me, it would seem a bit unfair if I didn't teach you a lesson!"
Ling Yanli was dumbfounded. "You...what did you say? You arranged for my husband to be a small county magistrate. Wasn't that your revenge on me?"
"That's allocated based on the test scores. What? Are you not satisfied?" Jiang Tangtang originally wanted to scare her, but when it came to business, she became serious.
Judging from Ling Yanli's expression, did she think that she was deliberately taking revenge on her, so she arranged a small official position for her husband?
She thought so, but what about other people? What did other people think?
Jiang Tangtang asked, "What's your husband's name? If he's not satisfied, he doesn't have to go."
Ling Yanli's scalp tingled as she repeatedly said, "No... I'm not dissatisfied. My husband is extremely satisfied. I just feel guilty when I think of the past, so I'm begging for your forgiveness. Really, I'm not dissatisfied."
She regretted it so much that she would not have made this trip if she had known earlier.
If her husband's family knew that she and Jiang Tangtang had a bad relationship, and she had taken the initiative to apologize now, and Jiang Tangtang remembered their grudge, her husband would not even be able to hold a small official position, and from then on, he would have no hope in the officialdom...
How will she gain a foothold in her husband's family in the future?
But it was too late for her to regret now. Although Jiang Tangtang didn't like to use servants, her every move was very eye-catching.
The news that Ling Yanli stopped her outside the government office soon spread among people with ulterior motives.
The Qu family soon found out what Ling Yanli had done in the past.
Suddenly, it caused quite a stir within the Qu family.
The men in the Qu family were okay, but Madam Qu and the other daughters-in-law in the Qu family blamed Ling Yanli openly or secretly.
"Other officials in our capital are all given official positions when they come to Lingnan, but why is there no one for our family? It turns out that it is all the trouble caused by my sister-in-law outside!" said Zhao, the wife of Qu Siming, the second wife of the Qu family.
"That's right. She will be the empress in the future. If we offend the empress, how can our family have a good life?" In addition to the second wife, Qian from the third wife also said.
Ling Yanli forced herself to say, "It was just a little conflict between the sisters when they were in the boudoir. Madam Lu said it all, but she didn't take it to heart."
Zhao said, "She said she didn't take it to heart, so she didn't take it to heart? Sister-in-law, stop deceiving yourself. If she really didn't take it to heart, why would she deliberately embarrass our family?"
Qian immediately said, "Sister-in-law, I think you should ask to leave the Qu family! If you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider your children, right?"
Ling Yanli's life in the Qu family suddenly became difficult due to her mother-in-law's dislike, the difficulties faced by her sisters-in-law, and her husband's indifference.
On the other hand, some officials and aristocratic families gathered together to discuss and decided to start with Lu Shiyan.
From Lingnan to Bohai County, it can be seen that many policies were created by Jiang Tangtang.
They felt that this reform, which clearly undermined the power of the aristocratic families, was also the work of Jiang Tangtang.
As long as Jiang Tangtang is dealt with, the problem can be solved.
The solution they finally came up with was to persuade Lu Shiyan to ascend the throne. Once Lu Shiyan ascended the throne, Jiang Tangtang would be a concubine in the inner chamber. They could use the rules to persuade her not to interfere in politics.
Then send a smart and beautiful girl from your home into the palace.
Even if Lu Shiyan loves Jiang Tangtang now, they are all men. Who doesn't know the bad nature of men?
Is it true that eating the same dish all the time can make you tired? Especially when it comes to a woman like Jiang Tangtang, who is so stressful.
Some people also believed that Lu Shiyan didn't really love Jiang Tangtang that much. He had previously shown respect for Jiang Tangtang and wanted her to become emperor and the first empress in history, but this was just to coax Jiang Tangtang into helping him conquer the world.
Is there any man who can really let go of the temptation of the throne?
If they really wanted Jiang Tangtang to be the emperor, why did they wait for so long and not hold the coronation ceremony?
Isn’t it obvious that they don’t want to?
Many princes, before they sat on the throne, sought marriage alliances with powerful officials in the court. Before they ascended the throne, they treated their wives very well. However, after they ascended the throne, they soon turned their backs on their in-laws and dealt with their in-laws who had supported them.
Such things have happened in history. If Lu Shiyan had the same plan, Jiang Tangtang might not even be able to become the queen in the end.
Soon, a group of old ministers from the previous dynasty often went to see Lu Shiyan, asking him to ascend the throne as soon as possible for the sake of national stability and the overall situation.
He gave so many high-sounding reasons, but in fact he just wanted to take the opportunity to test Lu Shiyan's true thoughts.
