Dependence and surrender are completely different. Although the former also works for the Ling family, it is still an independent family, while the latter has completely become a retainer of the Ling family, and even the power of life and death is in the hands of the Ling family. If
There are other choices, and he will never accept such conditions, but now, does he still have a choice? Knowing that these families are ungrateful and left the Ling family, who dares to take them in? Ling Chuxi is their only one
It's a life-saving straw that can be grasped.
Fortunately, Ling Chuxi also left them 30% of the income, which means that Ling Chuxi does not want to treat them completely as retainers. As long as she is loyal enough to the Ling family, with the kindness of the old Ling family leader, she will definitely keep it.
With the status of their Sun family, he could finally comfort himself.
"Master Wu, what about you?" Ling Chuxi nodded with satisfaction and looked at Wu Yude.
"I...I also agree to this condition." Wu Yude still didn't want to die after all. He was silent for a moment and said helplessly.
Thinking about what he had experienced in the past few months, Wu Yude had the urge to burst into tears.
As the saying goes, leaning against a big tree makes it easier to enjoy the shade. Thinking back then, the Wu family had their back against the Ling family, and coupled with the personal relationship between his eldest brother and Ling Mofeng, the Wu family was fairly well-known in Tianyu. Once they left the Ling family, they were like
Lost dogs are bullied just like others.
What made him even more unexpected was that the descendants of the Ling family became famous in one battle under the leadership of Ling Chuxi, and even upstarts from aristocratic families like the Jing family joined them. It is conceivable that in just a few years, the Ling family will regain its former glory.
If they had not left the Ling family, their Wu family's status would naturally rise with the tide, and they might even become the most popular family besides the Ling family.
But now, one mistake has caused eternal hatred. In order to survive and give the Wu family a last chance to breathe, the Wu family has to completely surrender to the Ling family and become a retainer of the Ling family. They even have to enshrine most of the family's income to the Ling family.
Home, thinking of this, Wu Yude felt so regretful that he wanted to hit the wall.
"We also agree to this condition." Seeing that even Wu Yude was like this, the other two family heads naturally had nothing to say.
City Lord Ke has been watching Ling Chuxi, and when he heard that Wu Yude and others agreed to Ling Chuxi's conditions, he stroked his beard and smiled in appreciation. Dongjin City is not a big city, and he can become famous in the world as a city lord.
He has his own methods and is by no means an indecisive person.
Ling Chuxi's conditions may seem harsh, but he takes it for granted. He must not be merciful when dealing with capricious people like Wu Yude. He must either be kicked out, or he must firmly hold them in the palm of his hand and never let them take advantage of them.
Chance.
Ling Chuxi acted so decisively at such a young age, which suited him very well. He even began to imagine what kind of glory the Ling family, which had been in decline for so many years, would eventually reach because of Ling Chuxi's return.
"Okay, then please ask Lord Ke to be a witness for us." Ling Chuxi bowed to Lord Ke again and said.
"Don't worry, Young Master Ling, I saw this with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, so it can't be faked." City Lord Ke stroked his long beard and said with a smile.
"Thank you very much, City Lord Ke. This junior is busy with trivial matters, so I will leave now and come back to see the Lord City Lord another day." Ling Chuxi saw that it was getting late and did not want to spend the night in Dongjin City, so she turned around and left with everyone in the Ling family.
Wu Yude and Sun Shili looked at each other and quickly followed her.
