Chapter 54: Ling's past

Chapter 54 The Past of the Ling Family
In this meeting, there was no bloodshed, which made Ling Yuyao a little confused, and she didn't understand what Jiang Nan was thinking.
She thought Jiang Nan would take advantage of this opportunity to beat Yang Chen violently, but the two of them just said a few words and then separated.
But this also let the little girl breathe a sigh of relief.
Soon, the two arrived at Ling Mansion, and Yang Chen stopped: "Squad leader, your house is here, I will go back first."
Ling Yuyao pursed her lips and muttered, "That... Yang Chen, I'm sorry today."
"I'm sorry." Yang Chen said lightly.
"It's about the Tiandi League today..." Ling Yuyao was a little nervous, didn't dare to look at Yang Chen, lowered her head like a little girl who made a mistake.
"Yang Chen, you won't be angry..."
"Angry?" Yang Chen sneered and said, "Of course I am angry."
"Huh?" Hearing this, the little girl suddenly frowned.
Yang Chen sneered and said, "Although I don't know what your handle is on Jiangnan, but between me and him, you really chose to betray me."
"If you don't get angry, it's impossible. After all, I'm not a saint, Yang Chen. However, for the sake of you borrowing my notes, even if the matter is evened out, there is no difference between us. "
Yang Chen said lightly.
In his tone of voice, the indifference that was a thousand miles away was restored again.
Ling Yuyao felt a pain in her heart.
"I'm sorry..." Ling Yuyao lowered her head, her expression dimmed to the extreme.
Yang Chen didn't speak, turned and left.
The figure gradually disappeared into the distance.
Until Yang Chen's figure disappeared completely, Ling Yuyao's face slowly slid two lines of clear tears, only feeling as if something was missing in her heart, and she felt painful.
...
"Miss, why are you crying?"
The old housekeeper Ah Fu stepped forward and looked at Ling Yuyao with tears on her face, and felt sorry for him.
"Grandpa Afu..." Seeing the old housekeeper, Ling Yuyao burst into tears in an instant, and plunged into the other's arms, as if she had found some point of venting, tears could not stop flowing.
"Oh, my little ancestor, who made you angry?" Ah Fu patted her on the back and said softly: "Tell Ah Fu, Ah Fu will teach her for you!"
"Nothing." Ling Yuyao rubbed her eyes and said: "I just didn't take the exam well..."
Hearing this, Ah Fu couldn't help smiling wryly: "Miss, it's just a test, why bother to take it to heart? It's fine next time."
"Hmm..." Ling Yuyao nodded.
The old butler rubbed her head, his eyes showed a pampering look.
When he was a child, Ling's father was too busy to take care of Ling Yuyao because of the busy affairs of North Korea. Therefore, the little girl basically spent her childhood with Ah Fu. To Ah Fu, Ling Yuyao is like his daughter.
"By the way, Grandpa Afu, where is my father?" Ling Yuyao murmured.
"Master is in the study. I have been busy for a day. Let's take a break now." Afu said.
"Oh." Ling Yuyao replied and said: "Grandpa Afu, then I'm going to see my father, you should rest early!"
"Good." Ah Fu nodded with a smile.
Ah Fu sighed until the other person's figure was gone, his brows seemed to be worried.
...
Ling's study room.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting, gently flipping through some books.
He didn't look angry or pretentious, and his brows were not easily frowned, and he looked worried.
This person is the head of the Ling family, Ling Song!
Speaking of the Ling family, there is still a very glorious history, but this history dates back to the previous dynasties...
About two thousand years ago, this place was not under the Qingfeng Empire, but was dominated by a country called the Great Moon Empire. The Ling family at that time had a prominent position in the Great Moon Empire, and its head was the right-wheeled general of the Great Moon Empire at that time!
It was just that during the last years of the Great Moon Empire, the monarch was faint and innocent, causing the people to suffer and complain. At that time, insurgents made revolutions almost every day across the country.
Although the Empress of Hongchen was in charge, the Great Moon Empire was free from external troubles, but the internal troubles alone made the court very busy.
In this group of insurgents, there is a sacred soldier named "Qingfeng Army", who was almost invincible during the uprising, fighting all the way from the south of the empire to the Central Plains, occupying almost half of the Great Moon Empire!
When the Ling family Patriarch saw this scene, his heart was extremely sad, knowing that the Great Moon Empire at this time had reached the end of the force, and it was just a matter of time.
In addition, he was kind-hearted, and couldn't bear to watch the people suffer anymore, so he resolutely took refuge in the "Qingfeng Army"!
Thirty years later...
The Qingfeng Army won a complete victory and changed the country's name to "Qingfeng" to establish the imperial hegemony!
The Patriarch of the Ling family was also given the title of "Zhen Guohou" by the empire.
But the good times didn't last long...
With the death of Qingfeng Taizu, the second emperor took office, and the end of the Ling family followed.
When the emperor had not ascended the throne, he always felt that the Ling family was plotting wrong, after all, the Ling family was a legacy from the previous dynasty. Therefore, he has played for the emperor over and over again, hoping to be removed from the post of the leader of the Ling family, demoted to a commoner, and assigned to the frontier.
It's just that the first emperor never adopted it, so he didn't mention it again.
But now that this person is in the position, the flame in his heart burns again, the first thing that the upper position does is to demote the Ling Patriarch to the common people!
When this happened, the whole country was alarmed!
The people in the world were all angry, and even more than half of the officials in the court began to jointly write letters, and even the prime minister of the court had to force death, begging the emperor to take his life back!
At this time, the emperor was horrified to discover that before he knew it, the Ling family actually had such a huge energy in the court...
Helpless, he can only take it back and die.
However, some positions in the Ling family were cut off, which greatly reduced their power.
After the incident, the emperor was depressed and died soon after.
Only before he died, he left a letter.
That is to warn the younger generations to be careful of the Ling family, especially on the day when they are in power, the first thing to do is to weaken the power of the Ling family!
But now, thousands of years have passed, and the emperors of the later generations have always remembered the teachings of their ancestors, constantly weakening the strength of the Ling family.
Generation after generation, generation after generation...
By now, the Ling family is no longer as strong as it was at the beginning. Although it is still an official residence, in the imperial capital, it no longer has the right to speak, not even the slightest real power.
Like a hollowed out paper tiger, no longer glorious...
...
Ling Song put down the book, glanced behind him blindly, and said calmly:
"Why don't you come in? What are you doing at the door?"
Ling Yuyao hesitated for a while, walked in, and sat beside her father silently.
"Father, tomorrow school is the final exam, will you come to school?"
"Don't go." Ling Song said simply: "Korean Central is busy with business, and I can't get away for my father. Let Ah Fu go with you tomorrow."
Ling Yuyao pursed her lips, and muttered: "However, everyone else is accompanied by her parents. There is no reason for the housekeeper to accompany you..."
Ling Yuyao seemed a little aggrieved, tears swirling in the frame, as if she would cry at any time.
Ling Song moved for a while, glanced at his daughter, as if he wanted to say something, his mouth moved, but in the end he couldn't say it.
Finally whispered:
"No matter, if it's just tomorrow one day, those old things in the court shouldn't say anything."
Hearing this, Ling Yuyao suddenly appeared astonished, looked at her father strangely, and even wondered if she had heard it wrong.
"Father, you promised me?"
"Ok."
Ling Song smiled, stretched out his hand, touched his daughter's head, and made a sound in his throat.
