Master Ling San was furious: "Evil girl, you actually made your second grandfather faint from anger!"
Of course Ling Xiang would not let the old man of the Ling family get into trouble with her, so she took out the golden needle and prepared to rescue him.
However, Master Ling San thought Ling Xiang was up to something bad: "Well, Ling Xiang, you're such a good fellow! Not only did you make Second Brother faint from rage, but now you're going to attack him!"
Ling Xiang was too lazy to argue with them, so she suddenly grabbed Master Ling Er and activated the restriction to prevent the others from getting close, but let them see clearly what she did. Then she concentrated on giving acupuncture to Master Ling Er. Noticing that he had an old illness, she fed him a drop of spiritual spring water.
Not long after, Master Ling Er woke up. He opened his eyes for a while before he came to his senses. He rubbed his head, seeming a little unbelievable.
Ling Xiang didn't explain anything and opened the ban.
Master Ling San immediately rushed over, supported Master Ling Er, and asked with concern: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Master Ling Er shook his head gently, "I feel good, my head doesn't seem as heavy as before..."
Master Ling San was so anxious to convict Ling Xiang that he didn't even listen carefully to what Master Ling Er said. He pointed at Ling Xiang and scolded him:
"Ling Xiang, you were disrespectful to our elders today and even plotted to murder them. I will definitely open the ancestral hall and call on the elders to depose you from your position as head of the family!"
"Brothers, why didn't you tell me when you came to the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion?" At this moment, Old Master Ling walked in with vigor and asked Ling Xiang as soon as he came in.
"Xiang'er, is what your Third Grandfather said true?"
Ling Xiangcai was not willing to take the blame: "Of course not, Grandpa, I was just treating Second Grandpa. If you don't believe me, ask Second Grandpa if he feels better. Or find the doctor who often treats Second Grandpa to come and see if he is feeling better now?"
Although Master Ling Er was still angry, he was not so sure as to tell lies and frame the younger generation for such a traceable matter. He explained, "I do feel much better."
Master Ling San was about to say something with his neck stiffened, but Master Ling Si quickly nudged him secretly to stop him from saying anything he shouldn't, and smoothed things over by saying:
"Third brother is also anxious. Second brother just said that he feels very good. Third brother misheard. Xiang'er, don't take it to heart."
Old Master Ling smiled brightly: "So it was a misunderstanding. I was saying that Xiang'er is a good doctor. He has treated me, an old man, very carefully for many days. I am now much better."
"Really?" Master Ling Er was surprised.
Old Master Ling was very proud: "Of course, second brother, do you think I am in good condition now?"
Several elderly people stared at Old Master Ling carefully. They remembered that a few months ago, their eldest brother looked like he was about to die, and the doctor had hinted that they should prepare for his funeral. But when they saw their eldest brother again today, he was not only energetic, but also radiant, and looked very healthy!
Master Ling Er seemed to see a glimmer of hope and said anxiously, "Xiang'er is really capable! I've had headaches for years, and they've gotten worse recently. Xiang'er, can you take a look at me? Can this headache be cured?"
Seeing that their backbone was about to defect, Master Ling San quickly grabbed Master Ling Er and said:
"Second brother, look at you, why are you so anxious? Xiang'er is our junior, how can we not consider the health of us grandfathers? The purpose of our coming here today is the clan school! The clan school can be opened, but the children of those servants must not study with the children of our Ling family! We can't let others think that our Ling family has no rules!"
Master Ling Er realized that he had almost been led astray by his eldest brother, and quickly changed his words:
"Yes, big brother, you should persuade Xiang'er that the rules cannot be abolished. The clan school can only be attended by children of the Ling family. Servants are absolutely not allowed to enter the clan school!"
Old Master Ling's expression immediately turned serious. He asked Ling Xiang, "Xiang'er, are you really going to let all the children in the Zhenguo Marquisate come to school?"
Ling Xiang shook her head and said, "Not all of them, there are still some who are unwilling to send their children to school."
Old Master Ling was greatly surprised: "What, they're still unwilling?"
Ling Xiang nodded vigorously. "They said the child was too young and they were afraid of causing trouble for the Zhenguo Marquisate, so they said they would wait until the child was older before sending him here."
Everyone: ...
I feel like I've been teased...
However, Ling Xiang looked so serious, it really didn't look like she was doing it on purpose...
Old Master Ling's expression was even more serious than Ling Xiang's: "Brothers, do you all object to letting the servants' children attend the clan school?"
"That's right!" Master Ling San stood firm. "We absolutely cannot allow them to enter the clan school! This is bringing shame to the Ling family!"
Old Master Ling then asked Ling Xiang, "Xiang'er, tell me what you think? Why do you want the servants' children to go to school, and to go to school with the Ling family's children?"
The elders of the Ling family thought that Old Master Ling was going to teach Ling Xiang a lesson, and they had a premonition that something big was about to happen, and a smile began to form on their faces.
Ling Xiang said solemnly:
"Because the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion needs to develop, the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion needs more powerful forces, and we need our descendants to be well-educated, knowledgeable in literature and martial arts. We need more people who can truly support the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion!" Ling Xiang's every word was sonorous and powerful!
"Good!" Old Master Ling patted Ling Xiang's shoulder and said with relief:
"Xiang'er, you are so far-sighted, it's a blessing for the Zhenguo Marquisate! Grandpa, I support your decision! There are many children in the family. If the teacher is short of manpower, I will be yours! Apart from anything else, I can still teach them to read and write!"
This situation is completely different from what they expected!
Master Ling San was anxious and quickly advised: "Brother, you are confused. You are the most important person in the Ling family. How can you follow Xiang'er in making trouble?"
Old Master Ling frowned, acted like an elder brother, and spoke incessantly:
"Third brother, in my opinion, you are the ones making such a fuss! Why did the Zhenguo Marquisate decline so quickly after the eldest brother disappeared, becoming the lowest-ranking family in the capital? It's because there's no one in the family who can truly support the Zhenguo Marquisate!
"If we don't let the children learn, what can they do for the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion in the future? Will they provide labor? As long as we have money, we can hire people who can only do hard labor. What we lack is not labor, but people who can truly take on responsibilities and do the work!
"If we train these people ourselves from a young age, we can use them with confidence and feel comfortable with them, achieving twice the result with half the effort! Besides, the servants of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, our master has trained their children for free, so how can they not work hard for us?
"With the help of Xiang'er's hard work and correct guidance, how can we worry about the prosperity of our Zhenguo Marquis Mansion?"
It was the first time that Ling Xiang heard her grandfather speak so much. His powerful tone really made her want to clap and cheer!
