Chapter 48 She Should Be Killed
No matter how tough your attitude is, it cannot resist reality.
Ling Rui didn't dare to gamble at all. With Ling Chan's current crazy state, and with him having been demoted twice and the crisis still not resolved, he couldn't gamble.
"General, the list is kept. But..."
She looked troubled. "The gold and silver jewelry and antiques are still there, but the cloth and supplements sent..."
The cloth had long been made into clothes, and the supplements had long been digested.
She also gave some of the gold and silver jewelry and antiques to her mother, Lady Qiu Lan, the wife of Marquis Anyang.
Now we have to come back...
"Then sort out the gold and silver jewelry and antiques first, and the other things..."
"Find a way to make up for it, and it will be fine as long as it is roughly the same."
Ruan Yiyu knew that this would be enough to handle the current situation, but, "What about Gong Lele's dowry three months later?"
"When the time comes, Ling Chan can still go and beat the Dengwen drum."
Of course Ling Rui knew, but what could he do? Three months was the best way to delay it...
"General, I have an idea." Ruan Yiyu looked hesitant.
"explain!"
If Ling Rui hadn't been so angry today, she definitely wouldn't have wanted to tell him about this, "Ling Chan, she's already sixteen."
"Yeah." Ling Rui responded, looking like he didn't care at all.
"She should have been married a long time ago at her age."
"Yeah." Ling Rui responded again. It was time for Ling Chan to get married, but she was engaged to Prince Huai. The Emperor and the Queen Mother didn't mention the marriage, so could he be the one to bring it up?
"In fact, the Queen Mother does not want to honor her engagement with Prince Huai..."
Ling Rui also knew, especially the Queen Mother, "Yeah."
"Why don't we just help the Queen Mother..."
"Perhaps if the Queen Mother is happy...even if Ling Chan goes to beat the drum to report the incident, she won't get too angry..."
Ling Rui's eyes rolled around for a few times before he finally stopped. "Then, how can we help the Queen Mother?"
That was a marriage arranged by the late emperor... Now the Queen Mother is unwilling and wants to break the contract, unless Ling Chan takes the initiative...
Ling Rui raised his eyes, "You mean... let Ling Chan cancel the engagement?"
"How is this possible?"
Ruan Yiyu lowered her head timidly, "General, I was wondering...what if Ling Chan has someone else in her heart?"
"or..."
"Or maybe she did something out of line and lost her qualification to be a royal daughter-in-law?"
"Or dead!" Ling Rui suddenly replied in an angry voice.
Ruan Yiyu's eyes flickered slightly, not knowing whether he was telling the truth or just speaking in anger. After all... Ling Chan was his daughter.
Ling Rui looked like he just said it casually and forgot about it the moment he finished speaking.
"So you already have a plan?"
Ruan Yiyu began to analyze, "Ling Chan has learned Kung Fu now, so we can't force her."
"So I can only..." Use dirty means...
"Think of another way." Ruan Yiyu said implicitly.
"Doesn't the Emperor give a banquet every year at the end of the year?"
Ling Rui nodded. At the end of every year, the emperor would host a banquet for all civil and military officials, but since he was the Son of Heaven, it could only be said that he was granting a banquet.
This banquet at the end of the year was a grand banquet, and all Beijing officials above the sixth rank had to attend.
Because there were too many officials attending the banquet, the annual banquet was very chaotic and some ridiculous things often happened.
So Ruan Yiyu meant to do something at the banquet.
By then... there will be so many people involved that Ling Chan will be unable to defend herself, the Ling family will fan the flames, and the royal family will follow suit...
Isn’t that the solution?
"General, I think..."
"Don't tell me." Ling Rui suddenly raised his hand to stop her from continuing. "Prepare the things Ling Chan wants first, and you can take care of the other things later."
Ruan Yiyu pursed her lips and said, "Okay."
Having been with Ling Rui for so many years, she understood too well the meaning of Ling Rui's actions.
He is a man and does not meddle in such matters in the backyard.
Of course, if the truth comes out in the future, it will have nothing to do with him.
"What did you say when you first came in? What happened to Yu'er?" Ling Rui suddenly remembered what Ruan Yiyu said after she came in.
I just wasn't in the mood to pay attention...
"Yu'er was beaten by Ling Chan. She lost a tooth and her face was swollen...it's still not healed."
"Didn't I tell you not to mess with her?" Ling Rui frowned when he heard this.
Ling Chan is very difficult to deal with now, but one thing is for sure, she at least won't take the initiative to cause trouble.
So Ling Chan beat Ling Yu, it must be Ling Yu who provoked Ling Chan first.
"You didn't see how she killed two people in front of me without blinking an eye."
"Kill, kill people?!"
Ling Rui never told Ruan Yiyu about Ling Chan's murder.
"She, she killed someone?" Ruan Yiyu repeated apprehensively, "She actually killed someone?"
"General, have you... reported this to the authorities?"
Ling Rui was silent. How could he report this to the police? Ling Chan had killed soldiers who were supposed to be stationed at the military camp outside Beijing.
If he reported this to the authorities, wouldn't it be known that he had secretly dispatched soldiers into the city? This was a serious crime.
"Okay, go get busy."
Ruan Yiyu returned to Anyang Marquis Mansion after lunch. When Qiu Lan heard that she was there to ask for back the imperial jewelry that she had given him before, his face immediately darkened.
But Qiu Lan also heard that Ling Chan asked Ling Rui to return the reward from the palace, so she did not blame Ruan Yiyu, but kept scolding Ling Chan.
"This little bitch is so cruel. She said those words in front of the Ling Mansion on purpose."
"I want to force you into a difficult situation, so that you will have no choice but to compromise with her."
"Yiyu, you're still too kind. If it were me, you should have killed this little bitch... Gong Lele died."
"It's not that serious... Now I'm blocking Yao'er's way and causing this."
"When you insisted on marrying her, Mom warned you that you couldn't keep this little bitch."
"Besides, mother wanted to help you get rid of this evil several times before, but you stopped me."
Qiu Lan tapped Ruan Yiyu's head in frustration, "You haven't learned a single thing about these things in the backyard."
"Your eldest sister is smarter than you."
"Oh, it's all my fault. I thought you were young, so I taught your elder sister first before I taught you. Who knew you would start with Ling Rui so early..."
Qiu Lan rolled her eyes at Ruan Yiyu and said word by word, "Men can't be trusted. Look at your father."
Ruan Yiyu hurriedly grabbed Qiu Lan's hand and said, "Mother, please stop scolding me. I just came here to ask for your help, didn't I?"
Qiu Lan looked at her, "What do you mean?"
"It's like this..." Ruan Yiyu told Qiu Lan about her plan.
"But this matter...I definitely can't do it alone, so I want to ask my mother for help."
Qiu Lan sighed impatiently, "Why does it have to be so complicated? Isn't this just giving her a bargain?"
"This little bastard should be dealt with directly, instead of doing all these things..."
Even so, she still asked, "Does Ling Rui know?"
Ruan Yiyu nodded.
"He agreed?" Qiu Lan raised his eyebrows.
Ruan Yiyu nodded.
"Look, I told you that men can't be trusted. Yiyu, Ling Rui agreed to scheme against Ling Chan like this. He's... not trustworthy."
Ruan Yiyu: "That's why I want to fight for Yao'er."
Qiu Lan was very satisfied with this. "That's right, don't worry, mother will definitely help you this time."
