He didn't say anything more. Lin Lan didn't even look at Yang Ci. After hearing the servant in front of him repeat Yi Xiaotian's words——
She recognized several facts:
First of all, Yi Xiaotian deliberately wanted to go against the Lin and Wei families.
Moreover, Yi Xiaotian had no intention of cooperating with them from the beginning to the end. What he said was just to tease them and give them the illusion that Yi Xiaotian wanted to discuss it.
the last point--
"Disciple...you...what are you..."
Yang Ci retained the last bit of dignity. After all, he was also Lin Lan's teacher and the master of the Lin family. He said he was grinding ink for Lin Lan. Isn't this a joke?
However, when Lin Lan raised his head and looked at him with the most cruel eyes that Yang Ci had ever seen in his life, Yang Ci went to the side of the study without saying a word, took out the ink bricks, and began to slowly help
Lin Lan grinds ink——
"When my husband returns to Chang'an, I will destroy Yi Xiaotian's family and expose his corpse to the wilderness!!"
Lin Lan gritted her teeth and said this - no matter how beautiful she is, if others see her distorted face, they will probably stay away from her, and there will never be any chance of them feeling any admiration for her.
——
the other side…
Yi Xiaotian listened with interest. Lin Ping and Wei Qiming were like praising and teasing, describing how Lin Lan and the Lin family and the Wei family started their business by relying on dirty means and speculation decades ago, and then how to rely on it later.
In order to bully the people and reap profits--of course, this also includes the grievances with Mr. Chen and his family.
as expected--
"So, this Wei Miao is really just a scoundrel with extremely good luck? It's just a matter of a horse. He can hate Mr. Chen for decades..."
Listening to Yi Xiaotian's unscrupulous evaluation of Wei Miao, the head of the Wei family, Lin Ping and Wei Qiming were a little afraid to nod. Maybe it was out of habitual fear. Even if they knew that they were extremely safe now, they did not dare to say anything about Lin Lan and Wei Miao.
bad words, but it doesn’t matter——
Because they are just stating facts.
Yi Xiaotian laughed and complained that he had never heard of a person named Wei near Chang'an in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It turned out that Wei Miao just got lucky and followed the caravan from Jiyin to the vicinity of Chang'an.
After making some money by buying and selling, he was spotted by the Chamber of Commerce and became an agent near Chang'an. As a result, the world happened to be in chaos. The massacre when Dong Zhuo entered Chang'an not only did not harm Wei Miao, but also killed him by coincidence.
The leader of Wei Miao’s chamber of commerce——
As a result, Wei Miao got lucky, and the Wei family really developed.
However... in fact, Wei Miao did not have the ability to run such a large family business, as Lin Ping and Wei Qiming said later:
"It was after the eldest young master took charge of the Wei family that the Wei family stood out from the major families in Chang'an——"
"However, over the past few years, the young master has encountered many changes -"
Of course Yi Xiaotian knew what Wei Qiming was talking about... This was exactly what he had just learned about the secret between the eldest son of the Wei family and Miss Lin Lan:
"I don't think your eldest son is just unlucky that his wife died before he got married——"
Yes, before Lin Lan made a marriage contract with the eldest son of the Wei family, the eldest son of the Wei family was actually going to get married long ago. Unfortunately, the bride committed suicide by drowning herself in the river on the eve of the wedding. Until now, it seems that
No one knows why - this matter was suppressed by the Wei family and later the Lin family.
The few people sitting next to Yi Xiaotian now may be the only people in the world who know about this matter.
However, since just now, Yi Xiaotian has discovered that the leader of the dead soldiers - now I should call him Li Yan, has a feeling that he is hesitant to speak. Combined with the identity of the other party, Yi Xiaotian feels that he may have guessed almost everything.
——After all, he doesn’t think that a normal man would choose a crazy woman as his wife. There must be some hidden secret behind this.
"Li Yan, do you know something?"
When Yi Xiaotian spoke, Li Yan woke up from his trance.
"People...we killed them."
"What?"
Lin Ping and Wei Qiming were a little confused. Everyone looked at Li Yan, as if they were trying to figure out what Li Yan was talking about just from the trembling of his mouth.
"The person... was ordered by Miss Lin Lan to kill him."
"You all know what happened after that. The eldest lady met that man 'accidentally', and then they got engaged, and the Lin family also climbed into the high branches of the Wei family..."
These words may really be the biggest breaking point today.
Look, Lin Ping and Wei Qiming's jaws were shocked. Obviously, they didn't know about this either.
However, Yi Xiaotian was calm and composed, with an expression like "I knew it", shaking his head while thinking about something while smiling.
"Having said that...if nothing happens, the young man from your Wei Mansion should be back soon..."
Yi Xiaotian's meaning is obvious. He now has Lin Lan's fatal leverage, and if Lin Lan really wants to deal with him later, he will have a trump card in his hand.
"Mr. Yi...Mr. Yi...we...we are about to leave...I would like to thank you again for your kindness and willingness to leave us a place to stay after experiencing so many unpleasant things - but maybe,
You really underestimated the eldest young master's ability... The eldest young master went to the Central Plains on this trip and seems to have already established connections with the Prime Minister's Mansion. Not only that... I heard that he also has a lot of connections near Xiangyang... If... if he comes back
…”
A handle is just a handle after all. Li Yan sees the problem very clearly. Although this matter can be Yi Xiaotian's trump card to manipulate Lin Lan, if he really waits for the eldest young master of the Wei family to come back, he feels that even if Yi Xiaotian finally gets Lin Lan
The Wei and Wei mansions part ways, and they will eventually encounter retribution from the two mansions. In fact, the situation is not much different from the current situation——
No…
If you go against the eldest young master, the situation may be worse.
"It's okay, let him come..."
"Your eldest young master is called Wei Xi, right? I've long wanted to see what he can do."
"You...you know the eldest young master?"
Li Yan was a little confused. Seeing Yi Xiaotian like this, he said the name of the eldest son of the Wei family without hesitation, as if he was relaxed and freehand.
Yi Xiaotian shrugged and refused to comment - but since it was Wei Xi, he had already felt confident when he heard that the eldest son of the Wei family turned out to be him.
Lin Ping, Wei Qiming and others looked at each other in confusion, and in the end did not make any other suggestions... Later, with the relationship between Ma Dai and Ma Chao, they were easily escorted out of the city... Lin Ping and Wei Qiming both
Wherever he went, the servant followed Lin Ping... while Li Yan chose to stay at Yi Xiaotian's Youjian Villa - apart from his status as a dead soldier, he had long been a homeless man.
——
At the same time, a letter passed through the border and was quickly sent to Xiangyang under the help of a dedicated person.
The eldest son of the Wei family, Wei Xi, spent some time in Xudu and experienced something that shattered his outlook. In order to change his mind, he came to Xiangyang to visit a man he had admired for a long time.
