Chapter 338: Just Choices...
Translator: Nal Venom
The curse of Marshal Ling was heard throughout the entire army along the way! The entire army marched back to Sky Bearing hearing the unceasing curses from Mashal Ling. Their original good mood of emerging victory was completely destroyed by the curse of Marshal Ling! The way his voice was filled with energy with no signs of asphyxiation, who would believe that Marshal Ling was actually seriously injured?!
Ling Tian deliberately wandered outside for a while and hid in Thea Smoky Tower for a full four hours. After calculating that the time should be right, he then slowly returned to the Ling residence. His turtle-like speed on the way back was unprecedented in his life!
When he returned home, a good show was playing at the Ling residence with Marshal Ling bandaged into a frenzy! He insisted that he wanted to settle his score with Long Xiang and it took the strength of a few burly men to endure it with great difficulty.
“Sister, His Majesty was tricked by a man and it was just a moment of stupidity. I hope that big brother will forgive him. ” This is Consort Ling Ran's voice…
“Good brat, you even dare to make a big fuss in front of your parents ?! See how this old man takes care of you!” This was Duke Ling's voice…
“Dad.... I was almost killed by that b*st*rd scheme and I will not forgive him with just ‘he was cheated by ’! I'm not so kind-hearted! So what if I become petty? This... I definitely won't let go!” This crude voice clearly belonged to the heavily injured General Ling. He obviously wanted to call himself ‘this father’, but realized that his own father was in front of him. Despite his raging anger, he still managed to force himself to swallow those words.
While Long Xiang's actions could not be forgiven, after all he was still Ling Ran's husband. So, no matter what grievances she felt in her heart, Ling Ran could not bear to see her own husband being beaten to death by her own brother!
However, who would have thought that the personal appearance of Duke Ling and Ling Ran kneeling on the floor begged was completely useless! Ling Xiao was like a raging bull that could not be stopped! Even his own father and sister could not stop him!
As Ling Tian watched the scene, he nodded his head and thought, Mmm, her appearance is indeed good. I wonder, where did Ling Jian and the others disappear? They might escape after seeing the storm taking place.
Ling Tian then sighed, It looks like my plan to get rid of Long Xiang using my father will fail. He then turned around and wanted to return to his own courtyard, hoping to hide from the storm before it appeared. Moreover, while he had not seen Ling Cheng and Yu BingYan for just a few days, the fierce battle had made these few days feel like several years. Now that he had returned home, even the grass and flowers made him feel a sense of familiarity.
“You brat! Stop right there! You still dare to run away? ” Old Lady Ling originally watched the show on the side. But after seeing her grandson about to run away, she was angry and amused as she yelled at him.
At this moment, Ling Tian had already walked out of the courtyard and he turned around awkwardly. Old Madam Ling then walked over quickly and pulled Ling Tian's ear. “Let me ask you, who triggered your father's explosive anger? Don't tell me you don't know!”
Ling Tian blinked his eyes and said with an innocent look, “Grandmother, what are you talking about? Lighted what? Is our house on fire? Why don't I know?”
“Little boy! Keep pretending not to know! You dare tell me that you know nothing!” Old Madam Ling scolded with a laugh as she exerted more strength and Ling Tian's ears grew elongated, “Speak!”
“Do I really have to say it ?!” Ling Tian felt helpless.
“Iya!” Old Madam Ling said in a stern tone!
“Siii ..” Ling Tian breathed in the cold air and he really felt the pain this time, “Grandmother, please release ... pain ... okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth. On the way back, we met Ling Dian and this granddaughter ignored him while I was sleeping. So, he went to find Dad. As for everything that happened after, I don't know yet.I really don't know! Aisyah..”.
“You still dare to say that you don't know?! You still dare to lie! ” Old Mistress Ling exerted more strength in anger as she pointed towards Ling Xiao who was going crazy, “Without your permission, she said, will Ling Dian have the guts to make your father angry to such an extent with a few words from him? Also, since when did Long Xiang say that he wanted to take all the women in the Ling Family to be his harem?”
“You just said?” Old Madam Ling's eyes shone with a sly light, “You actually dare to use your father as a spear now? Am I right?”
Ling Tian let out a bitter sigh and an idea popped into his head, “Grandmother, I heard that grandfather is against you and I just want to help you. Furthermore, this is a serious and difficult matter for us to deal with Long Xiang. Does grandma have any idea to solve this problem?”
As Ling Tian mentioned the matter, Old Madam Ling no longer wanted to bother him any further and also sighed, “Our entire family is now troubled by this matter! Killing or letting it go is not a good plan!”
Ling Tian was silent for a moment before saying, “One thing we should not do is to let the tiger return to the mountain! Even if we don't kill him, we can't let go! We must imprison him first before making a decision.” A flash of inspiration then appeared in his head and Ling Tian had a brilliant idea.
Old Madam Ling then pulled Ling Tian aside as she said, “I'm waiting for you to return so that we can discuss the matter. What do you think we should do with regards to Sky Bearing? What should our Ling Family do? You already have a plan in your heart, don't you? ”
Ling Tian frowned, “I'm actually split between two different options. Grandma, this is definitely not the best time for our Ling Family to rise up! No matter what, our Ling Family is still the subject of the Sky Bearing Empire. No matter what heinous thing Long Xiang has done, we will definitely be considered as traitors if we replace Long Xiang! At that time, we will no longer be victims but dangerous subjects of the Sky Empire. Other powers could then use this opportunity to suppress the Sky Bearings in the name of seeking justice for the Sky Bearing Imperial Family. At this moment, our Sky Bear Empire is already fraught with injuries with many pressing issues to be resolved. We can't have another war! Furthermore, the various Great Families will definitely not be satisfied if we seize the throne! The consequences of that are not something we can face right now! However, if we do not take the position of emperor and Long Xiang has been pulled down by us, the Sky Bear Empire is left leaderless! Ling Tian shook his head and sighed while silently watching Old Madam Ling's expression.
“That's right,” Old Lady Ling said in frustration, “we are indeed in a dilemma! This old lady had no idea to solve this problem. If not, I don't have to wait for you to come back. ” As he said that, he started rubbing his forehead temples as his eyebrows furrowed in consideration.
“Grandma, I have an idea.” Ling Tian blinked his eyes and said with a meaningful smile, “This can help us solve our current dilemma.”
“What idea? Quickly spill.” Old Madam Ling had already been extremely frustrated with this matter over the past few days!
“Long Xiang is already in our hands and all his princes have been killed! If that's the case, we can let him write an imperial edict to make the child in aunt's womb the crown prince! Then, we can allow grandfather, father, Minister Wei and General Shen to manage the imperial palace to handle political affairs! Next, we have to make one thing clear. No woman is allowed to interfere in grandiose affairs! ” Ling Tian said with a cold look flashed across his eyes!
“Really... cruel plan! Ling Ran is your aunt!” Old Madam Ling looked at her grandson in shock. If they made the unborn baby the crown prince, of the four ministers who run the imperial palace, Ling Xiao and Ling Zhan were father and son, and Shen RuHu was Ling Zhan's disciple. The only one who was not in their circle was Wei ZhengFeng. However, Minister Wei did not have any actual authority and the full authority of the military and the court would fall into the hands of the Ling Family. With the conditions Ling Tian added to prohibit women from interfering in the affairs of the country, this meant Ling Ran would not be able to create trouble!
This Ling Tian plan was definitely in line with the ancestral teachings, or perhaps it was the only loophole in the ancestral teachings. Thus, the Sky Bearing would remain the property of the Long Family, and the Ling Family would remain the subject of the empire. They would not attract anyone's attention and could even pretend to be weak on their enemies. It would also make their enemies think that the Ling Family had no intention of ruling the world.
While everyone would know that the Sky Bearing was completely controlled by the Ling Family, the Ling Family's actions would still be perfect. After Long Xiang plotted against the Ling Family, the Ling Family still buried the axe and helped the new young ruler wholeheartedly. Instead of being a dangerous subject, the Ling Family would gain a reputation as a loyal and loyal subject!
“My aunt?! Grandma, did you see how she begged my father to let her husband go? That person was someone who almost killed my father and destroyed our entire family! He really wants us to let go just by saying that it was a stupid moment?! No matter what, I will definitely not admit this! ” Ling Tian said without any room for leeway.
“Long Xiang probably won't agree to this right?” Old Madam Ling said, “In addition, this is also a bit too cruel for your aunt right? It wouldn't be too fair for him either. Tian’er, while this plan of yours can help solve all of our problems, Ling Ran is still your aunt. Are you also a little .. ”
Ling Tian replied with a smile, “Grandmother thought too much. Is the Long Xiang deal even important? Ah ah, do we still need him to agree now? As for Auntie, I originally did not want to say anything. But... Grandma, do you think there is justice in this world?”
Ling Tian's lips then curled up in a cruel smile, “When Long Xiang decided to eliminate our Ling Family, he completely ignored the husband and wife bond between him and Auntie! She still wants to rely on Auntie to save her life now? If our Ling Family is destroyed, Aunt's life will definitely be very miserable for the rest of her life! Under the pressure of Yang Xue and the Yang Family, his son might not have been born yet. Even if he was born, it would be impossible for him to ascend the throne! Now, while we can't give the Sky Bear Empire that we've fought so hard for, we can definitely give Auntie a prosperous life. This could already be considered as luck to him and he had to settle for it. He should not grumble and he should not expect anything more.
