Chapter 115 [Miscalculation]
Everyone in the He family was waiting anxiously in the front hall, and He Shao asked the kitchen to serve tea and snacks to everyone.
Although the snacks were varied and looked very tempting, no one was in the mood to enjoy them and was distracted.
He Lin didn't touch his tea either. He seemed to be lost in thought, but in fact he was chatting in the class group.
Only He Jing and Jiang Lili's party were leisurely enjoying their tea and snacks, which made their behavior even more intriguing in the eyes of everyone.
He Fangzhi saw He Lin deep in thought and asked tentatively, "Cousin Lin, are you also worried about the selection of people to escort the tribute to the capital?"
"You didn't expect that cousin Jing would perform so well today, did you?"
He Lin raised his eyes. How could he not have imagined that the dancer He Jing invited to perform was from his music troupe.
However, He Lin was not surprised by He Fangzhi's thoughts. He Jing and he had never gotten along before, and He Jing was a little jealous that the original owner was the most favored by his aunt.
Now this group of people don’t know that they have a special relationship with Jiang Lili and He Jing.
He lowered his eyes and then sighed: "Yes, I'm afraid that I won't be the one favored by Auntie the most in the future."
He Fangzhi followed his words and said, "In that case, I have a plan."
He Lin looked very interested.
He Fangzhi patted his shoulder and said, "Big brother and the other brothers and sisters support you to go to the capital to be the head of the flower shop."
He Lin smiled when he heard this: "Then how can I repay Big Brother?"
He Fangzhi felt that talking to smart people was easy: "Tell your aunt that it's too much for you to be in charge of the affairs of the Beijing Flower Shop alone, and you need me to help."
He Lin understood that this was what He Fangzhi had planned.
Let him go to the capital first to pave the way, and he will come to share the fruits of victory.
This big brother is really an old fox.
But this time He Fangzhi might have miscalculated.
He Lin smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with confidence and composure. "Brother, I think I can handle the affairs of the capital alone, so don't worry about me."
He Fangzhi's expression froze for a moment, then he said calmly, "It's a good thing that cousin Lin is so confident."
He sat back in his seat.
He Fengqing saw He Fangzhi and He Lin talking, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you want to exchange He Lin for cooperation? How is the negotiation going?"
He Fangzhi shook his head: "According to the original plan."
Compared to He Jing, he would rather cooperate with He Lin.
He Jing's performance over the past decade has been that of a loser. Today, He Jing has impressed everyone and received widespread praise. He has to support He Jing, so he can't help but feel a little uncomfortable, so he came to test He Lin.
He didn't expect the other party to be so ungrateful, so don't blame him as the eldest brother for disregarding brotherhood.

It was almost half an hour later that Jiang Lili and He Shao came out of the study.
He Shao gave Jiang Lili a beautiful and exquisite gold seal. There were peony flowers carved on the seal, which looked lifelike and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
Jiang Lili was surprised. She had heard He Jing say that this golden peony seal was a symbol of the He family's highest power.
He Shao smiled gently: "Take it."
"Then I won't be polite!" Jiang Lili put the golden peony seal into her sleeve.
"Are you curious why I trust you so much?"
He Shao glanced at He Jing from a distance and said, "Actually, I know very well what kind of nephew He Jing is. His performance today is inseparable from your planning and planning."
"If the girl had bad intentions, she could have used him to harm our He family long ago, but she has helped save the He family from crisis time and time again."
Of course, there is another very important point. Jiang Lili is a fugitive and has a large family. She is easy to control. Of course, this will not be put on the table.
Moreover, before meeting Jiang Lili, He Shao had already met with an important person.
Meeting this person made He Shao realize that her support for Jiang Lili might be an investment more important than any previous business.
He Shao's ambition is not limited to Lingnan.
Jiang Lili had seen people with personalities like He Jing before. They often lacked the care and companionship of their parents, behaved strangely and badly, and wanted to attract their parents' attention.
"He wanted your approval so badly that he acted too extreme in the past."
He Shao sighed: "As an aunt, I also made some mistakes. I shouldn't have ignored Jing'er."
"Fortunately, even with this kind of free-range upbringing, Jing'er, although he acts in a biased way, still has a sincere heart and is able to correct his mistakes."
Jiang Lili breathed a sigh of relief when she heard He Shao's evaluation of He Jing. All her efforts were not in vain.
"The gift Jing'er gave me today was also prepared by Miss Jiang, right? I have to thank you for resolving the knot between Jing'er and me."
He Shao gave Jiang Lili a grateful smile: "It's time to move on."
As they were talking, the two of them had already walked into the front hall. Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Lili and He Shao.
He Shao ordered the housekeeper, "Let the maids and servants go down!"
After the butler responded, he led all the servants out of the yard.
Everyone was secretly surprised. In the past, only the core disciples of the He family would be left when there was an important announcement.
And now there's an outsider, Jiang Lili, this is...
He Fangzhi, who was usually calm, showed panic on his face. Could it be that this little girl was really going to become her aunt's goddaughter?
It's only been less than an hour! Has my aunt, a seasoned face addict, fallen to this extent?
However, He Shao's next words were even more outrageous than what everyone in the He family had imagined!
"I have handed my golden peony seal to Miss Jiang. From now on, everyone should follow the letter Miss Jiang sent. Seeing the seal is like seeing the person."
There was an uproar in the yard, and He Shao's nephews and nieces no longer cared about their manners.
The Peony Golden Seal is a symbol of power for the He family patriarch, but He Shao only gave it to two uncles with rich experience. Now he wants to give it to an outsider, and a fugitive at that. How outrageous!
He Manyu and her group were in a state of confusion. At most, they thought that Jiang Lili would become He Shao's goddaughter and compete with them for resources.
Who would have thought that he would become their immediate boss?!
Although they usually obeyed He Shao's orders, He Manyu couldn't help but ask the question everyone wanted to ask the most: "Aunt, why did you give the golden seal to this exile?"
"I want to use Haizhou as our He family's retreat, and Miss Jiang is my best candidate."
He Shao's tone was unyielding. "I will explain the reasons to you in detail later."
When He Fangzhi heard that his aunt wanted to use Haizhou as a retreat, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and fell into deep thought, and the same was true for several uncles of the He family.
He Manyu was still unconvinced and wanted to ask more questions. He Shao looked at her, shook her head and said, "Manyu, you grew up by my side, don't you know me as your aunt?"
He Manyu was frightened by her aunt's attitude towards her and dared not say a word.
After this incident was exposed, He Manyu quietly asked He Fangzhi: "Brother, what did my aunt mean?"
