The eldest daughter is not easy to bully

Chapter 2
Ling Qing's eager pace suddenly paused and slowed down.

Her heart also became vigilant involuntarily at this moment.

This was a reminder to her from many years of mission experience that many aspects are often involved in the occurrence of an incident. Whether a matter is big or small depends on how the enemy attacks.

This time, it is not easy to directly grab the identity.

The eldest maid, Mei Xin, is here. She is Ling Qing's confidant with the highest force value, and she also holds all the information in and out of the village.But this time, she didn't have any notice.

"What happened in the city?" Ling Qing asked.

Before this incident happened, Mei Xin had already received the news, and knew that she could no longer hide it, so she waited here for Ling Qing.It was also because he knew his daughter's temperament well, and he would never let her go unless he asked the matter clearly.

Therefore, she silently said sorry to the city lord in her heart, and then told everything she knew.

"Four years ago, the people in Ducheng only knew that Ling Han was pure-hearted, gentle and pleasant, and that she was the only big girl in Ducheng. But the girl was arrogant and domineering. The concubine was just sent away, she was not welcome back home for reunion even during New Year's Eve, Second Miss."

four years ago? !

Just after being haunted by the memory of the past life.

"There's more!" Ling Qing's dark eyes were fixed on the front, and it was difficult for outsiders to perceive that the situation was justifiable. What about the relatives who get along with each other day and night?
Mei Xin's eyes drooped: "The city lord is already seriously ill."

Ling Qing stopped abruptly again: "What's wrong?"

"Poisoned."

"How long have you been poisoned?"

"More than four years."

Ling Qing narrowed his eyes: "What poison?"

"The poison was devoured by the wizards of Beiliang. It is said that the poisoned person will lose all mind in the end and be at the mercy of others, and there is no medicine to cure it."

Northern Liang Country!
Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar name, Ling Qing felt a faint pain in his heart. After five years of suffering, this feeling has never been numb. At this moment, the pain increased again and again.

Ling Qing took a deep breath for a while, and then asked, "Where's brother?"

"The eldest son has been visiting other countries all these years, looking for famous doctors to research and prepare antidote. He only comes back every festival, and only returns to Meilin Village. He is not clear about what happened in the city."

Ling Qing knew this brother well.If Ling Ze knew, according to his temperament, he would definitely go back to Ducheng to investigate in person, and then deal with this matter well, and he would definitely give her great credit in front of her.

But he didn't.

Ling Qing suppressed his thoughts, and continued to walk to Wangmei Pavilion deep in the plum grove: "Where's Jiang Qing?"

Mei Xin was surprised that her daughter had never mentioned this stepwife in the past five years, but she suddenly changed her name.But the girl can, she can't.

"The step-wife is handling all the affairs in the mansion. She is still in her clothes and serves by the city lord's side. On the other side, she is also picking a wife for the second son and a husband for the second girl." Mei Xin continued: "The second son and The second girl often goes out to visit mountains and rivers and get acquainted with powerful people."

"What's their attitude towards brother?" Ling Qing didn't have much contact with her stepmother when she was a child, and it can be simply described as nodding acquaintances.

"Since the eldest son knew that the city lord was poisoned, he began to go out to look for famous doctors. After learning that there was no cure, he thought of looking for doctors who could research and prepare antidote in various countries. The city lord supported him and handed over the business order to the eldest son. Let him go out without worries, and his wife also expressed support."

Mei Xin continued: "The night before the Eldest Young Master left, I don't know what the second girl said to the Eldest Young Master. The two had a big fight, and finally the second young lady ran out crying."

"When the eldest son left the next day, the second son made another fuss, saying that the eldest son bullied the second girl and so on. In the end, only the step-wife sent him to the gate of the city before returning home."

After hearing this, Ling Qing remained suspicious of Jiang Qing's sincerity.

If the stepmother really has such a good face, how dare Ling Han blatantly assume the status of a 'big girl', break into her territory, and bully her?
Although she hasn't shown her face for five years, she's not dead yet!
The point is, she felt very strange about Ling Chengtian handing over the business order to Ling Ze.With a silver and jade badge that proves your identity, you can go to the bank to exchange a certain amount, and the amount is not small, and return it to the commercial order?
The business order is unique to the city owner. Seeing the order is like seeing the city owner. You can withdraw money from the banks opened in Ducheng in various places at any time. There is no limit to the amount, and only the younger generation of the city owner can do it.

Just like seeing the imperial decree is like seeing the emperor, you have to kneel.

"What's the situation in the mansion now?" Ling Qing asked.

"Since two years ago, everything in the mansion has been simplified." Mei Xin was very confused.

"After some investigation, it turned out that because the city lord was seriously ill, countless famous doctors were hired at a high price. Especially for the use of precious medicinal materials, the entire mansion was almost emptied of valuable things."

Ling Qing was shocked in place.

Ducheng was established by the common people who were expelled from various countries, and it was mainly engaged in business and supplemented by officials.

In order to better develop commerce, another small shopping mall was built for traders and individual customers from all over the world to do business. However, in just one year, it has become the largest supply and sale of commodities and goods in the world.

In the off-season, the amount that all merchants can earn in one day can be measured in gold.

Now, because of Meilin Village's reputation as the Meilin Holy Land, the shopping mall's peak season, in addition to spring and autumn, has another winter.

As the owner of the shopping mall, besides owning his own family business, can Ling Chengtian still receive less tax every month? !

There are ghosts, there must be ghosts in here!

"Miss, there was a rumor last year that there was a big gold mine in the city, but this news has not been confirmed. It is said that it came from the mouths of the common people, but it is impossible to find out who it is." Mei Xin said again.

"What else?" Ling Qing had already calmed down, looked up, and the words 'Wangmei Pavilion' appeared in front of him.

"Before news of the big gold mine came out, Mrs. Ji found many reasons to replace all the maids and servants in the mansion with new ones, and they all signed death contracts. After the news came out, many outsiders came to the city one after another. Some And become a new city citizen.”

After hearing this, Ling Qing pursed her lips tightly.

Jiang Qing's abnormal behavior, if you want to find out very clearly, you can check it when you return home.

But Ducheng stopped accepting new city residents ten years ago.Outsiders can only enter the city with a pass valid for three days.

The reason why an independent city can stand among the great powers for a hundred years depends firstly on being rich; secondly, it depends on having money to manufacture sophisticated weapons and institutions; thirdly, it depends on being closed and not locked city.

Whoever dares to provoke Ducheng is against the businessmen of the world.The end result is that whatever they want, the merchants will monopolize what they want, making them poor and clinking, to see what capital is still clamoring for.

With all these changes, Ling Qing only saw one possibility.

The sky in Ducheng is about to change!

"Girl, I have an urgent letter!" The big maid Zhu Xin rushed over panting, and handed the red letterhead to Ling Qing.

This is how she communicates with her brother Ling Ze. The colorless letterhead represents peace, and the red letterhead represents crisis.

Unfolding the letter paper, the content made her eyes hurt.

Chen Xian from Beiliang chased and killed his son, who jumped off a cliff to escape, and his life and death are still unknown.

Ling Qing shredded the letter paper.

It's Beiliang country again!
She hasn't even counted the hatred of cutting out her heart!How dare you come here to commit suicide!
But what made Ling Qing even more resentful was: Tong, get out of here! !
　The system excluded by the plot thousands of miles away: Russia knows nothing!
