Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss - Chapter 4450
4450 Towards what kind of glory
Submitting to the Ling family was completely different from submitting to the Ling family. While the former worked for the Ling family, they were still an independent noble family. The latter, on the other hand, would be reduced to a subject of the Ling family, with even the power of life and death in the hands of the Ling family. If he had any other choice, he would definitely not accept such conditions. But now, did he have any other choice? After knowing that these few families had betrayed the Ling family and left the Ling family, who would still dare to take them in? Ling Chuxi was the only life-saving straw that they could grab onto.
Fortunately, Ling Chuxi had left them 30% of the profits. This also meant that Ling Chuxi did not want to treat them as her servants. As long as they were loyal to the Ling family, with the kindness of the old Ling family head, they would probably be able to retain the status of the sun family. At least he could comfort himself.
“What about you, old patriarch Wu?” Ling Chuxi nodded her head in satisfaction and looked at Wu yude.
“I … I also agree to this condition.” In the end, Wu yude still didn’t want to die. After a moment of silence, he helplessly said.
Thinking of the encounters he had in the past few months, Wu yude actually had an impulse to cry.
As the saying goes,”it’s better to lean against a big tree.” In the past, the Wu family was backed by the Ling family. In addition to his big brother’s personal relationship with Ling mofeng, the Wu family was also considered to have a small reputation in the Tianyu. Once they left the Ling family, they were bullied like stray dogs.
What was even more unexpected to him was that the descendants of the Ling family had become famous after a single battle Under Ling Chuxi’s leadership. Even the Jing family, a new aristocratic family, had joined them. It could be imagined that in a few years, the Ling family would return to its former glory.
If they didn’t leave the Ling family, the Wu family’s status would naturally rise along with the Ling family. They might even become the most powerful family after the Ling family.
But now, a single misstep would result in eternal hatred. In order to survive and also to give the Wu family a chance to catch their breath, his Wu family had no choice but to completely submit to the Ling family and become the Ling family’s henchmen. He even had to offer a large portion of the family’s profits to the Ling family. Thinking of this, Wu yude was so regretful that he wanted to bang his head against a wall.
“We also agree to this condition.” Seeing that even Wu yude was like this, the other two patriarchs naturally had nothing to say.
City Lord Ji had been watching Ling Chuxi the entire time. When he heard that Wu yude and the others had agreed to Ling Chuxi’s conditions, he stroked his beard and smiled in appreciation. Dongjin city wasn’t a big city. He was famous in the Qing-Yun realm as the city Lord, so he must have his own methods. He wasn’t an indecisive man.
Ling Chuxi’s conditions seemed harsh, but he felt that it was only natural. He must not be soft-hearted when dealing with fickle-minded people like Wu yude. He would either kick them out of the family or keep them firmly in the palm of his hand, never giving them the chance to betray him.
Ling Chuxi was so decisive in her actions at such a young age, which was very much to his liking. He even began to imagine what kind of glory the Ling family, which had declined for so many years, would eventually walk towards because of Ling Chuxi’s return.
“Alright, then please be our witness, city Lord Ji.” Said Ling Chuxi as she bowed to city Lord li.
“Don’t worry, young master Ling. I saw and heard this with my own eyes and ears. It can’t be fake. ” City Lord Ji stroked his long beard and chuckled.
“Many thanks, city Lord Ji. This junior has some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first. I’ll come to visit city Lord another day.” Ling Chuxi saw that it was getting late and did not want to spend the night in Dongjin city. She turned around and left with the Ling family.
Wu yude, sun Shili, and the others looked at each other and quickly followed her.
