"Pills?" Yuan Zhengqing became interested and agreed to the exchange. He opened the jade bottle and saw that it was indeed a precious pill. "I've taken advantage of Miss Ling."
"Being able to be rescued by Lord Yuan today, I should be the one who benefits the most."
After bidding farewell to Yuan Zhengqing, Ling Xiang returned to Xiang Garden, prescribed medicine to treat her cold, and went into the space to continue her planting business.
After finishing her work, she lay on the bed and thought seriously about what to do next.
Nangong Yu already suspected him, and was very certain about it, so she had to find a way to clear herself.
All it takes is for someone to determine that she was kidnapped to Gao Zhenzhen's yard a long time ago. As for the rest, let Nangong Yu guess for himself.
In this case, it would be best to start with Gao Zhenzhen.
Having made up his mind, Ling Xiang immediately sat up, wrote a letter, and asked Mu Heng to give it to Yuan Zhengqing early the next morning.
Mu Heng returned to the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion with Yuan Zhengqing's reply letter.
Ling Xiang read the reply and said with a smile, "Let's go find Uncle Lian."
The shopkeepers, accountants and others of all the businesses in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion were all taken away by Yuan Zhengqing. The Zhenguo Marquis Mansion has been closed for a few days for rectification and is in urgent need of someone to take over.
As for the former members of the Ling family army, in the original book, even though Ling Xiang in the book hurt their hearts so much, they did not give up on her and even disregarded their own safety in order to save Ling Xiang.
Therefore, they are completely trustworthy.
In addition, the old members of the Ling family army have not had stable jobs and income for many years. Letting them take over the shop of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion can be said to be a win-win situation. This is also what Ling Xiang had planned early on.
Ling Xiang explained his purpose to Lian Cailiang: "I sincerely request that Uncle Lian take all the uncles and uncles with him to take over the shop at the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion."
Ling Chengfu is now in prison. Although the truth about Ling Chengfu's murder of Ling's former soldiers has not yet been revealed, the soldiers have already vented their anger and have gained more trust in Ling Xiang.
"Miss, we are all rough people and have no experience in running a shop." Lian Cailiang was helpless.
"Who is born knowing everything?" Ling Xiang took out the "Business Principles" that he had written based on his experience in the past few days.
"My dear uncles, you can refer to this book and discuss with each other if you have any questions. I believe that there is no difficulty that our Ling Family Army cannot overcome!"
Ling Xiang stayed at Lian Cailiang and his friends' residence for the entire day, discussing the shop's business strategy with them.
With Ling Xiang's advanced business experience, after some study and discussion, everyone felt more confident. Activists like Mu Heng were even eager to try.
Ling Xiang struck while the iron was hot and bowed solemnly: "All of you uncles are my parents' brothers and sisters. I have just taken over the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion and have no one to rely on. The Zhenguo Marquis Mansion is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. I sincerely ask all of you uncles to return to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion and lend me a hand. Ling Xiang will be grateful!"
Lian Cailiang looked at everyone and they all nodded in unison.
They have been living in a small courtyard for the past few years, doing nothing, and have long wanted to do something big!
Ling Xiang took Lian Cailiang and others and happily returned to the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion, but unexpectedly, a bolt from the blue struck.
Old Master Ling was sitting at the door, anxiously waiting for Ling Xiang to come home. When he saw Ling Xiang, he excitedly walked over and said, "Xiang'er! Where have you been all day? At noon, someone from the palace came and granted you a marriage with the King of Qin!"
Ling Xiang was petrified on the spot: "An imperial edict? Did you accept it?"
Old Master Ling was very excited: "We really can't find you, and we can't disobey the order, so we can only accept it for you."
Ling Xiang staggered two steps, unable to withstand the blow.
Could it be that she can't escape this sad storyline?
Seeing this, Old Master Ling was very worried: "Xiang'er, are you okay?"
They had already discussed it beforehand: Ling Xiang would not marry, but would stay in the Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion and inherit everything from him, and would directly marry a son-in-law to the family in the future.
But now, if Ling Xiang wants to marry the King of Qin, it is obviously impossible for the King of Qin to marry into her family.
"Grandpa, I'm fine. I just didn't have dinner, so I'm a little hungry." Ling Xiang forced himself to remain calm, then turned to Lian Cailiang and the others and said, "Uncles, I'll take you all to get settled first, and then we'll have dinner together. Xiang'er will welcome you."
The Zhenguohou Mansion was very busy. After Ling Xiang settled the Ling Family Army, the Fifth Sister-in-law suggested, "Young Miss, let me go to your place and take care of you."
Ling Xiang disagreed: "Fifth Aunt, I asked you to come back to take care of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion. Xiaoyu will take care of me here."
"Miss, don't you remember that when you were little, it was your Fifth Sister-in-law who took care of you." Lian Cailiang's eyes were wet. "Fifth Sister-in-law was originally your mother's maidservant..."
Ling Xiang carefully searched the original owner's memory and it seemed that there really was such a person, but her memory was very vague and she couldn't see the person's face at all.
She felt ashamed and hugged her fifth sister-in-law tightly: "I don't remember much about my childhood, fifth aunt, I'm sorry..."
The fifth sister-in-law held Ling Xiang in her arms, and the past came to her mind, and her eyes could not help but redden: "It is my fault that I did not fulfill the young lady's instructions and did not take good care of the young lady."
"Back then, Ling Chengfu did everything he could to get the contract from Fifth Sister-in-law. If Fifth Sister-in-law hadn't been so lucky, she would have died long ago..." Lian Cailiang choked up, "Miss, you don't know that for all these years, Fifth Sister-in-law has always appeared as an old woman to conceal her identity. She only drops her disguise when she's around her own people..."
The old woman who opened the door for Ling Xiang every time was actually the fifth sister-in-law.
"Aunt Wu, you've suffered so much." Ling Xiang hugged Aunt Wu tightly, feeling really sorry for what she had gone through over the years.
"All the suffering is worth it if I can see the young lady again..." Aunt Wu was crying, and she had a lot of things in her heart that she wanted to say to Ling Xiang.
At this time, Xiaoyu came to call everyone to have dinner.
During dinner, everyone was preoccupied.
The most important thing is that I am worried about Ling Xiang's marriage.
Compared to their worries, Ling Xiang seemed much calmer. After dinner, he summoned everyone in the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion, announced the return of Lian Cailiang and others on the spot, and gave them considerable power.
All important matters of the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion were handed over to the former members of the Ling family army. The Marquis Zhenguo Mansion underwent a complete reshuffle, and it was at this moment that the head of the family was truly replaced.
The old members of the Ling family army plus the fifth aunt totaled more than fifty people. More than twenty people were sent to manage the shop, and some of the remaining twenty people took over the important matters of the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion. Ling Xiang gathered the rest of the people together to discuss things in secret.
"What is our Ling family army best at?" Ling Xiang asked.
Lian Cailiang said: "We are soldiers, and what we are best at is training troops."
"So, I deliberately didn't give you uncles any work to do, because I wanted to ask you to train the troops for the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion."
Lian Cailiang was shocked by Ling Xiang's idea: "Miss, training troops privately is a capital crime!"
