Chapter 179 Explain the betrayal in a fresh and refined way
"Old Nangong, what you say is so shameless." Old General Xue sneered, "It is clearly my daughter's asset, but you just want to take it away with just a few words. How can there be such truth in the world?"
"Old General Xue, this is a family matter of the Nangong family, please don't interfere at will." Nangong Tianxing frowned, his face was extremely unhappy, "Besides, the principal of the money that Ling'er earned did not come from the family? "
"That's wrong. Since I was twelve years old, I have never received any money from my family. On the contrary, I have earned a lot of assets for the Nangong family, which far exceeds your investment in me." Nangong Ling shook his head. He denied, "Besides, I have long passed the age of eighteen. According to Daqian law, I can already own my own assets. This money is my own hard-earned money. What does it have to do with the family?"
"You...you unfilial daughter." Nangong Tianxing couldn't find a reason to refute, so he just yelled and cursed, "If it weren't for me, where would you come from? How could your assets have nothing to do with me?"
"Master Nangong, please pay attention to your words and deeds." Changsun Jian frowned, quite disdainful of Nangong Tianxing's arrogant and unreasonable words, "What Miss Nangong said is true. Since these properties were bought with her own money, they should naturally belong to her." All hers.”
"Yes, I am just confused. I thought that few women in the imperial aristocracy were in charge of the same house." Li Qing also came to his senses and echoed, "If you think about it carefully, it's just because those women are not as good as Miss Ling'er." Talent, emotion and reason, these two assets should all belong to her."
"No wonder you want to invite a few of us to testify." Old General Xue said loudly, "If no outsiders are present, I am afraid that the property in your hands will be taken away in vain. The Nangong family is really shameless! Nangong girl, don’t worry, the old man supports you. If Nangong old man is still so shameless, I will definitely make trouble known to everyone in the imperial capital and make him infamous and despised by everyone."
"Several adults are able to speak out for justice." Nangong Ling's face showed a touch of emotion, and there were faint tears in the corners of his eyes. "The little lady is very grateful."
"Okay, okay, very good!" Nangong Tianxing saw that Li Qing and others were standing on Nangong Ling's side, and he was so angry that he couldn't even speak. "Since you are determined to be the master of the second house, then Just go for it and don’t regret it later!”
"Thank you, dad." Nangong Ling bent his knees slightly and saluted Nangong Tianxing, "My daughter will definitely take good care of her and make the second house flourish."
"You are already the master of the second house, and you are on an equal footing with me. I can't bear to be 'daddy' in this life." Nangong Tianxing said in a stiff tone, "If there is nothing else, please come back to the distinguished guests. , I still have important matters to discuss at home, so I won’t leave you all to dinner.”
His words were extremely rude.
"Since the head of the family has recognized my right to take charge of the second house..." Nangong Ling was not polite. He actually stopped calling Nangong Tianxing "dad" and instead called him "head of the house" instead. "So as the head of the second house, I am announcing here that the marriage between Xiaojie and Xiao Qingqing is over!"
"What!" Nangong Tianxing didn't react for a moment.
"Xiaojie is the second wife, so her marriage cannot avoid me." Nangong Ling said word by word, "I don't agree with this marriage. I will send someone to the Xiao Mansion tomorrow to cancel the marriage.
A marriage."
"Bastard!" Nangong Tianxing was furious. A violent aura came out of his body, causing bursts of explosions in the air around him. He was so scared that Nangong Lin shrank his head and hid far away, not daring to interrupt at all, "You
Don’t push yourself too far!”
"Master Nangong, you have something to say." Changsun Jian didn't expect to see such a lively scene. He tried to persuade him, but he felt a little gloating in his heart.
As a close confidant of the emperor, how could he not know that the Nangong family and the Xiao family were closely related, advancing and retreating together. Now that he saw the internal strife between Nangong Tianxing and his daughter, he was really overjoyed and wished he could add fuel to the fire and add fuel to the flames.
"My lord, Lord Changsun, and General Xue, I made you laugh." Nangong Tianxing also realized at this time that he was a little out of control. After all, he was not an ordinary person. He quickly straightened out his thoughts, calmed down, and said slowly, "Since the little girl's assets
The matter has been decided, so I won’t bother you with the rest of the family’s internal affairs.”
The implication was that he was directly ordered to expel the guests.
"Since the task assigned by Miss Ling'er has been completed, we will take our leave." Li Qing and Changsun Jian looked at each other. Although they wanted to help Nangong Ling, they could not find any reason to stay.
Marriage with the Xiao family is indeed a family matter of the Nangong family. The head of the family, Nangong Tianxing, said that they are all respectable people. It would be degrading to force them to stay and mess around.
"Girl, the old man admires you." Old General Xue laughed before leaving, "If you can't stay in the Nangong family in the future, you can come to me at any time. The position of the Xue family's daughter-in-law will always be reserved for you."
"Three great kindnesses, I will remember them in my heart." Nangong Ling gave a solemn salute to the three witnesses, "There will be generous rewards in the future."
"Be careful." Li Qing whispered in Nangong Ling's ear as he passed by.
After watching the three people disappear outside the courtyard gate, Nangong Ling turned around and met her father Nangong Tianxing's eyes. She could clearly feel the anger in the heart of the head of the Nangong family.
"Are you very proud?" Nangong Tianxing's voice turned cold, "Do you think your wings have become stronger and you can compete with me?"
"I have no intention of confronting you, and I don't care about the second-bedroom property." Nangong Ling said softly, "It's just that, after all, I still have the blood of the Nangong family in my body, and I can't just watch the family be ruined in your hands."
"Oh? So you have good intentions?" Nangong Tianxing laughed angrily, "Now the Nangong family is prosperous, how could it be ruined in my hands?"
"When the Xiao family's rebellion fails, as in-laws and comrades, won't the Nangong family have to meet the tragic end of being slaughtered?" Nangong Ling said calmly and shockingly.
"That's nonsense!" Nangong Tianxing's heart tightened and he retorted loudly, "How could the Xiao family rebel?"
"Are you insulting my IQ by pretending like this?" Nangong Ling said with a look of disappointment on his face, "Do you think I will spend my time arguing about the right and wrong of the information I already have?"
Nangong Tianxing was speechless for a moment. As the leader of the Nangong family, he had dominated the entire Daqian Empire for many years, but he could not do anything about this daughter who was extremely intelligent and lacked the skills to make a living.
"No matter what, I am your father after all." He tried to change his tone and said, "Don't you care about filial piety at all?"
"Loyalty, filial piety, filial piety, filial piety. The word 'loyalty' should come before the word 'filial piety'." When it came to sophistry, how could Nangong Ling lose to him? "You don't want to be loyal to the emperor and patriot, and collude with rebellious ministers. How dare you use filial piety to persuade me? Stop me. Your participation in the rebellion and saving the Nangong family from the war is my greatest filial piety."
"The strength of the Xiao family is far beyond your imagination." Nangong Tianxing saw that he could not persuade her, and his tone became harsh again, "Even without the participation of our Nangong family, Li Jiuye is definitely not Xiao Qing's opponent. If you betray the Xiao family now and wait until Xiao Qing ascends the throne, guess what will happen to the Nangong family?"
"It's just collusion with the 'Dark Temple' and some other forces." Nangong Ling wrote lightly, "It's too early to talk about victory now."
"What a big tone, you don't even pay attention to the Holy Land!" Nangong Tianxing was surprised when he heard what she said, "Then what are you going to do?"
"We have returned to Xiao Qingqing's marriage and severed all cooperation between the two families." Nangong Ling said in a tone that left no room for doubt. "In the future, when the Xiao family is in trouble, we will unite with the royal family to wipe it out."
"Are you done?" Nangong Tianxing's patience had reached its limit, and his eyes became cold.
"If you are still stubborn and want to follow the Xiao family, then separate the family." Nangong Ling ignored him and said to himself, "Those who are willing to follow the rebellion, please leave the Nangong family on your own to avoid implicating innocent people in the future."
"Hehe, hehe." Nangong Tianxing laughed angrily, with a hint of irritability in his voice, "It's really contrary to heaven. I am the head of the Nangong family. I have the final say in everything here. Who do you think you are? ?Having acquired some second-hand real estate, you are qualified to tell me what to do?"
"As a father and daughter, I wanted to save some face for you." Nangong Ling sighed and said helplessly, "To be honest, not only the assets of the second uncle's house will belong to me. All in all, even for your house, nearly half of the assets have been acquired by me. Now, after all, I am the real head of the Nangong family."
"Fart!" Nangong Tianxing cursed, but a strong sense of uneasiness could not help but surge into his heart.
"Uncle Ji, does my niece have any lies?" Nangong Ling smiled slightly and looked at Nangong Ji, the right-hand man behind Nangong Tianxing.
"Niece Ling is right." When his name was called, Nangong Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Now, half of the eldest son's property is in her name."
"You...you deserved my trust in you so much." Nangong Tianxing was so angry that he was shaking all over, "How dare you betray me?"
"Master, it's not that my younger brother intentionally betrayed me. It's because he was greedy when he was running errands for the family and his hands and feet were a little dirty. Niece Ling caught him and blackmailed her, so he had no choice but to sell some properties to her." Nangong
She explained very calmly, "I thought it would be no big deal if I just secretly resold some assets, but it turns out that niece Ling's method was very clever. Over time, she actually bought nearly half of the long-term property.
By the time we discovered it, it was already too late.”
"Why don't you come and discuss it with me?" Nangong Tianxing scolded sternly.
"With the temperament of the head of the family, if he knew that I had done such a thing, he would never forgive me easily." Nangong Ji knew the character of his cousin very well, "Rather than being severely punished by you, it would be better for me to directly seek refuge with my niece Ling. She
Although he is very resourceful, his temperament is much more generous than that of the head of the family."
"It is really shameless to be able to explain betrayal in such a fresh and refined way." Nangong Tianxing gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Don't think that my daughter is a good person. She deliberately wants to seize power and wait until it is done.
, you won’t end up well either.”
"You don't have to worry about sowing discord." Nangong Ling said calmly, "In fact, the people who work under me will have some selfish desires. It is only natural to take advantage of their power to make some small gains for themselves. If it weren't for your personality,
If it's too intense, how can Uncle Ji be threatened by me? I still understand the principle that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, so how can I blame him?"
"Thank you, Miss!" Nangong Ji showed a sincere attitude and even changed his title.
"What's more." Nangong Ling nodded at him and continued, "Uncle Ji is not the only one who has taken refuge in me."
"It seems that you have planned what happened today for a long time!" Nangong Tianxing said coldly, "Do you think you have won? The future head of the Nangong family!"
"It's not about winning or losing." Nangong Ling said calmly, "I don't care about the position of the head of the family. When my eldest brother comes back, I can give it to him. It's just that my father is old, so he will enjoy his old age.
Don't worry about these trivial matters anymore."
The words actually contained the intention of forcing him to have a wife.
"After all, she is a woman." Nangong Tianxing said with a cold look in his eyes, "You can be clever, but your vision is limited after all. Even if you gain some assets, you must be able to hold on to them!"
"That won't bother you."
"If I'm not wrong, Qinglian should have been won over by you. This is probably the reason why you dare to contradict me face to face." Nangong Tianxing looked at Ye Qinglian behind her and said, "It's just a top family.
How can the right to speak be determined by just a few contracts?"
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Nangong Tieshou, who had been silent the whole time: "Please ask the clan uncle to take action and capture this unfilial daughter and hand her over to my nephew for strict discipline!"
An overwhelming spiritual aura instantly covered the entire mansion.
