General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 644: A good abacus (1)

"What do you know?" asked Old Ling with a gloomy face.

"Who are they?" The eldest daughter of the Ling family was about to speak but saw Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen. She immediately shut her mouth and looked at the two strangers with suspicion.

"This is the general and his wife." Old Ling said to the eldest daughter of the Ling family, motioning for her to salute.

"...Hello, both of you." The eldest daughter of the Ling family bowed perfunctorily, which successfully angered Old Man Ling again.

"Ling Wei, let me say it again! This is the general, and this is the madam!" Old Ling lowered his voice. Ling Wei was startled and saluted the two respectfully again.

"Tell me your reasons!" said Old Ling coldly.

Seeing that Grandpa did not avoid the two of them, Ling Wei slowly spoke. "The Third Prince has no maternal family, and his strength is not as good as the other three princes. If the Ling family wants to survive, they must choose one. I think the Third Prince is very suitable for the Ling family. If we help him take the throne, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

"Pa!" Old Ling slapped Ling Wei hard and mercilessly on the face. Ling Wei didn't expect that Old Ling would actually hit her. She looked at him in surprise, with the slap mark on her face very clear.

"Grandpa... why did you hit me? I just wanted to help you!" Ling Wei said with tears in her eyes, enduring the pain on her face.

"Sister, you deserved the slap!" Ling Feng said coldly, "You're just being too smart."

"What did I do wrong?" Ling Wei questioned. "He gets the benefit, and we survive. We use money to buy a way out. What's wrong with that?"

"Then why don't you tell me about the bastard in your belly?" Elder Ling said coldly, "You keep talking about the Ling family. For the Ling family, you are doing it for yourself. For yourself, you regard the Ling family as a condition for your own success."

"Grandpa, that's not it..." Ling Wei was stunned and shook her head.

"Let me ask you one more question, whose child is that in your belly?" Seeing that she was still determined not to change, Mr. Ling's face turned expressionless.

"...Yes...It's the third prince's." Ling Wei still thought that no one knew about her affairs and she did not change her words.

"Isn't he the prime minister's youngest son, Chen Zihao's?" Old Ling said with a sneer.

"...Grandpa, how did you know...No...No." Ling Wei panicked.

"You insisted on marrying the third prince even though you were pregnant with his child. Was it Chen Zihao who instructed you to do so?" Old Ling looked at Ling Wei with eyes that had lost their warmth.

"No...no." Ling Wei shook her head desperately.

"What exactly happened? Tell me the truth!" Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat when he saw Old Man Ling's expression. His grandfather was really angry.

"...Chen Zihao and I are sincere, but I also know that it is impossible for me and him to be together, so I drugged him, slept with him secretly and got pregnant with his child, and then wanted to raise him myself. It just so happened that the third prince had no maternal family and no background, and I knew that my family was under great pressure, so I thought about cooperating with the third prince. He would marry me as a concubine and give my child an identity, and I promised to let the Ling family support him." Ling Wei lowered her eyes and spoke her thoughts.

"I have obtained the consent of the Third Imperial Consort on this matter..." Ling Wei said in a low voice.

Ji Xiaomu looked at Ling Wei and thought she was really awesome.

She slept with the man she loved, ran away with the baby and planned to marry another man. She gave the child a different identity, which solved the family's survival problem and gave the baby in her belly an identity.

The ancients were not wrong, she really knows how to have fun!
