You must know that this is the body of the original owner. Although the situation Ling Xiao encountered after passing through should be somewhat similar to the original owner's situation, there will definitely be many differences.
The biggest problem that this body may encounter now is the marriage contract that this body may encounter. It is impossible for Ling Xiao to be obedient. This is because she is not an ancient young lady at all.
You must know that in ancient times, marriages generally followed the orders of parents and matchmakers. The marriage between two people was more because the two families were well-matched and did not pay much attention to individuals.
What is even less important is the relationship between the two parties. Many men and women basically have no chance to get along before getting married. Whether it is good or bad depends entirely on personal luck.
Naturally, Ling Xiaochuan had no intention of signing a marriage contract after she came over. The original owner would come back sooner or later, so it was the original owner's right to let her make her own choice.
In addition, Ling Xiao, who is well versed in history, also knows that the marriage of the original owner is very difficult. First of all, there are not many people alive in her clan, the Tao family.
This situation was very dangerous, and it directly caused the Tao family to be eliminated from the aristocratic family. From then on, the so-called Tao family became a very ordinary family.
The reason why I say this is because of the characteristics of aristocratic families. Aristocratic families need a large number of clan members to support them, and a clan is more like a forest.
Because there are enough trees in the forest, one or several good seedlings will always appear every once in a while.
Those good seedlings are more likely to grow into towering trees to protect the entire forest. During this period, new good seedlings will grow.
Then the entire forest continues to grow in a virtuous cycle, and the clan has family members who become high officials.
In this way, the family can be completely protected, and the family can be continued in the powerful class.
However, due to the flood, a large number of Tao family members suffered disaster.
This is like most of the trees in the forest being destroyed.
Without towering trees, there would be no way to protect the seedlings from wind and rain.
Then the trees will encounter more wind and rain as they grow.
The aristocratic family is the destroyed forest.
There are often breaks in the continuation of rights*.
If there are not many people in the Tao family, it means they will be eliminated from the family.
To Ling Xiao, it didn't matter whether the Tao family was aristocratic or not.
But this change is likely to be a very serious blow to the original owner.
Hey! Ling Xiao just wanted to say to the original owner: I am sorry and accept the change, as a person is lucky to be alive.
I wonder if the original owner was married in his previous life? This made Ling Xiao a little curious.
She had read the original owner's memories and sympathized with the original owner because Ling Xiao felt bad about the information she had read before.
The original owner had a difficult time in the marriage market. In her case, both her parents were dead and her brothers were still young, which meant that her natal family had very little help.
She was a daughter of a real aristocratic family before, but she had no identity for a short time, which meant that the gap between her identity and that of a son of aristocratic family was huge.
This is such a sad reality. Generally, the parties concerned cannot accept it at all, because this is a situation that makes things worse.
After thinking about it clearly, Ling Xiao felt a little sad for the original owner. Of course, it might be different. After all, all this is just Ling Xiao's guessing and trying to figure out people's thoughts.
Maybe Ling Xiao's idea was wrong, or maybe the original owner was good enough to ignore those rules and regulations and marry a perfect husband, but she was her and Ling Xiao was not her.
It is impossible for Ling Xiao to use someone else's body to agree to a marriage contract for the original owner, so before the original owner comes back, she plans to temporarily escape into the Taoist sect, so that she will not be treated like a piece of pork.
I even found a reason, because I was saddened by the death of my elders, so I planned to practice hard and do more good deeds so that the elders can enjoy the support of the younger generations even underground.
In ancient times, since we could not fly the banner of loyalty, we must seize the banner of filial piety to minimize the possible negative impact on the original owner's younger brother.
While Ling Xiao was thinking wildly, Tao Erlang and his family completed all the worship services. Tao Erlang and his wife were so hungry that they were taken to eat.
After dinner, Tao Erlang thought about going back. As an official, he must submit a petition to Ding You. If he fails to do so, he may be impeached.
The couple went to the mourning hall and saw several children kneeling there respectfully, including the eldest child's niece.
In his opinion, the Tao family will listen to his words from now on. He glanced at their children and said, "Hurry up and pack your things."
When he spoke, there was no subject in his words, and he didn't know who he was speaking to, so the children didn't pay attention.
Tao Er felt his face was getting hot. Others ignored him and continued to do their own thing.
He thought that his niece and nephew should follow him immediately. His time today was very tight.
Then Ling Xiao stepped forward and said, "Uncle and aunt, my niece has something to say."
This move made Tao Er stunned. Is this his brother's daughter?
"Mama Xia, you take the Second Lady, Sanlang, Fifth Lang, and Eighth Lang down first."
After Xia's mother heard this, she quickly led a few people to ask the four children to leave the mourning hall.
After Tao Erlang and his wife heard Ling Xiao's words, they couldn't help but look at each other. What was this?
Ling Xiao's behavior was a bit unexpected for them. After not seeing each other for several years, they realized that they didn't understand this niece.
The eldest lady in their memory was still young, but they didn't expect that after a few years of seeing her, she had grown a lot taller, and her demeanor was extremely down-to-earth and generous.
Following Ling Xiao, he said: "I'm asking my uncle and aunt to stay here today. There is something that I need to discuss with you two. Let's go and talk while we don't disturb the deceased."
The two of them wanted to say no, but Ling Xiao had already gone to another free room, so the couple could only follow, feeling a little angry.
Tao Er wanted to yell, but found that Ling Xiao didn't care much at all. This discovery made him feel something was wrong, as if the other party was grasping some problem.
After Ling Xiao walked to the center of the room, he said, "The reason why I'm talking here is because I don't want others to know about the problem. Along the way, I discovered that Grandma Fang had colluded with outsiders to poison my grandparents."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li felt a little uncomfortable and stared at Ling Xiao with her eyes. Because Aunt Fang was hers, didn't this mean that she gave the instructions? Of course she would not do such ridiculous things. She really wanted to let her do it.
Ling Xiao shut up immediately.
Tao Er suddenly stared at Ling Xiao with wide eyes. At this moment, he couldn't believe his ears. What? Someone poisoned? How is this possible? This must be fake news.
Tao Er's eyes were too wide open, like a bull's eye. Under the attack of those bull's eyes, Ling Xiao's expression remained unchanged.
She said slowly: "This is true. Grandma Fang originally wanted to get rid of me, but after I discovered the arsenic, she tortured her."
Tao Er was a little dumbfounded and slowly turned to his wife, but Li already believed that this was true and his expression was changing.
Ling Xiao had been paying attention to the expressions of the couple, and it could be seen that both of them seemed to have no idea about the situation.
Tao Erlang couldn't care less about his niece's expression at the moment. He was looking at his wife, wanting to see how the person next to him was doing.
After all, he didn’t have any people like Aunt Fang and Aunt Yuan, it could only be someone sent by his wife to do it.
Mrs. Li sensed that something was wrong and stared at Ling Xiao who was ignoring her, trying to shut her up.
She secretly resented: Hateful little hoof, how dare you do this to me, just wait!
Ling Xiao naturally felt the change in Li's heart, which was probably about holding a grudge.
This woman said that she was busy plotting against the big family's family along the way.
He had been thinking about how to make money, and the eyes he looked at the three siblings were very cold.
If you didn't know better, you would have thought that the three original owners, siblings, owed Mrs. Li something, or were her enemies.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao didn't have a good impression of her. It was definitely not easy for a woman to catch her mother-in-law's pigtails.
She may do anything to achieve her own goals, and killing people is just a matter of words to her.
After Ling Xiao met Li, she had no respect for her in her heart. However, she thought she was doing well and thought Ling Xiao was easy to fool.
In addition, Grandma Fang who poisoned her was a slave of the Li family. Tao Erlang could have escaped by saying that he had no knowledge of this matter, but the Li family would never be able to escape.
Tao Er also discovered a problem. His wife Li kept staring at his niece, which made him a little unhappy. Something was wrong with Li, and his niece seemed to be more unrestrained now.
After all, Mrs. Li is the aunt of the eldest lady. As an elder, she has made some mistakes. As a junior, she should bear the elder's mistakes and help hide them instead of speaking out harshly.
"Yuzhu, what do you want to say?" Tao Erlang said. Naturally, he felt that something was wrong, so he planned to severely suppress this unruly niece. After all, he was going to live in the same place in the future, and a guy who was always finding faults was really a bit annoying.
Hate.
Moreover, Mrs. Li has always kept a low profile in the days after her marriage. This is why he is still relatively amiable to Mr. Li. He privately decided to punish Granny Fang who committed the crime.
Ling Xiao naturally noticed Tao Er's different treatment, but he pretended not to notice Tao Er's thoughts. After all, they were a family and she was just an outsider.
There is nothing unhappy about her. It is easy to understand that her family is facing her own family, so since they are not a family, they will not help each other.
"Second uncle, what I want to say is that Grandma Fang was bribed by someone who wanted to take advantage of certain opportunities to throw arsenic into her grandparents. This is a confession."
After saying that, she handed over the oral supply. Tao Erlang was shocked when he heard about it. What? Poison? Or poisoning his own parents?
When he thought about the consequences of this accusation, he almost frightened him. Others knew about it and were afraid that the Tao family's reputation would be tarnished.
What is going on? Does it involve the slaves around the wife? It is infuriating and scary.
He flipped through these confessions again and again, and the speed of flipping through them became slower and slower. What he saw later was thrilling.
If all this is true, even if he is involved, can he still be an official?
Why didn't this kind of change make him anxious? After seeing it, it made him a little crazy.
The stack of paper in my hand became heavy when I held it.
He deliberately said that all this was false.
But the confessions of the criminals above cannot clear their name at all.
Just keep the answer secret and never let anyone know.
Tao Er slammed the table and shouted angrily: "It's all fake."
After saying that, he tore up the stack of paper confessions and roared: "Fake, fake."
Mrs. Li never thought that her husband would pull out the trick of tearing up his confession, and her eyes widened.
"Pa", "pa pa", "pa pa pa." Ling Xiao kept looking at Tao Er, then raised his hands and started applauding.
Tao Er didn't know what he was thinking. He actually had to tear up his confession. He was a little stiff at the moment.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao was well prepared and would investigate every situation clearly, otherwise he would definitely be deceived.
Regarding what Tao Er did, she just wanted to say: Haha! Do you think you are a stupid person? Do you think you don't know anything?
She had long thought that one day she would meet the uncle and aunt of the original owner, so naturally she wanted to find a way to keep the confession. Did she think she could just have someone sign it?
Tao Erlang looked surprised at this moment, because he never expected that his niece would be very calm, as if this was a lie. Could she have any other tricks up her sleeve?
Then Ling Xiao said slowly: "It turns out that my second uncle likes to tear up paper! Do you really think that I am stupid? Just in case, I have prepared several confessions."
At this moment, she was furious and wanted to ask: Second uncle, are you surprised? Are you surprised? But considering that Tao Erlang probably didn't understand the story at all, she didn't ask.
Tao Erlang's expression changed after hearing this, and he saw that Ling Xiao's expression changed several times. This niece was not cute at all, she was actually on guard against herself and was not liked by others.
At this moment, he suddenly became a little confused. Looking at his little niece was like seeing his brother, and resentment towards his brother suddenly surged into his heart.
Although they are both members of the Tao family, he doesn't know why outsiders look more favorably on his elder brother, which has put him under great pressure at a young age.
His mother kept whispering in his ears: He must surpass his elder brother. This sentence was said over and over again, every day, which made him feel very annoyed in his heart.
As time passed, he inevitably felt a bit resentful towards his brother, but his brother was always protected by the old lady and grew up very well.
His brother even married a wife with a better status, which made him feel very unhappy and felt like he was at the bottom of the pile.
When most of the Tao family members withdrew from officialdom and found out that his brother had also retired, the bad breath in his heart became less intense.
But what he never expected was that meeting his brother's daughter today would remind him of his past.
The evil feeling in his heart always made him want to hit someone, and he started to act.
He wanted to beat his niece violently to see if she would dare to confront him in the future.
What he didn't expect was that someone grabbed his hand.
Then he grabbed him unceremoniously and threw him out.
Tao Erlang was in great pain after being thrown.
He never thought that anyone would dare to hit him?
When Mrs. Li saw this scene, she was very surprised and frightened.
No matter what, Tao Erlang is her husband, and she stands with him.
She made a decision quickly, glared at Ling Xiao fiercely, and cursed.
Without caring about anything else, she went to Tao Erlang's side, wanting to greet her husband.
Just when she was about to speak, Ling Xiao made a sound, "Ha! You actually want to hit me?"
"You tore up your confession at will. Do you think you can get away with this incident unscathed?"
