However, that seed was probably not planted by the first hall Master himself.
The seed was different from an instant-Death Seed-it had to be retrieved, so it had a connection with the person who planted it. Lin Yi destroyed the seed, and although he couldn't track the person through the seed, the person was probably suffering right now.
It wasn't just because the seed was destroyed and the heart blood was gone, there was also the effect of the backlash!
Lin Yi guessed that the person who planted the seed would be hurt as well, and it would be impossible for them to come to the Ling family and ask for her hand in marriage as if nothing happened!
The first hall Master had come so quickly, so he probably didn't know that the seed had been destroyed. So, it was still uncertain whether he was the one who had instructed this.
Lin Yi decided to follow Mr. Ling out and observe the head.
"Mother, look. Nephew Sima said that there's no problem. Walking around will only benefit your son. You don't have to worry."
After persuading the old lady, Ling Yun's father immediately ordered the servants to help him change his clothes. Lin Yi and the others went out to wait in the courtyard.
At the same time, the first hall Master, who was still unaware of the news, was talking to father Ling's third brother.
This third master of the Ling family wasn't the old Madam's biological son, but rather the son of a concubine and not the son of the first wife.
Since the first hall Master was here, he naturally couldn't leave him be. Thus, third master Ling came out to accompany him and wait for the old Madam to arrive.
He hadn't received the news yet, so he didn't know that Mr. Ling had regained consciousness and was recovering quickly.
"Third brother, I have always been on good terms with your Ling family. I thought that a marriage alliance would strengthen our relationship. Who would have thought that your family would look down on my son?"
The first hall Master was a burly man with a square face and a full beard. He looked like a rough and bold person, and his voice was also loud and clear."I was rejected the first time. By right, I shouldn't have come a second time. However, my son can't forget your Yingying and has set his eyes on her. I can only thicken my skin and come again, hoping that we can form this marriage. "
"Look at your brother's current state, he can't make any decisions. I hope the old lady can understand that it's good for both of our families to be married! It just so happens that Yingying is getting married, and it can also give your brother some good news. Maybe his illness will be cured, right?"
The first hall Master said with a smile. In fact, he was very clear in his heart that he was here today to hit someone when they were down!
After the Ouyang family head left the Ling family, he informed the first hall Master of the results. That was why he thought that father Ling would not live past tomorrow!
Taking advantage of the Ling family's chaos, he came to propose marriage on the surface, but in reality, he wanted to squeeze the Ling family dry and squeeze out the last bit of value left in the Ling family.
After tomorrow, the Ling family would truly be in decline.
Third master Ling was completely unaware of the first hall master's dirty thoughts as he smiled and said,""It is Yingying's good fortune that first hall Master thinks so highly of her! The child is insensible. Last time, she actually refused the Great Hall master's good intentions. This time, she should be repenting, right?"
"First hall Master, don't worry. It is our honor to be married to young master. We will definitely not let first hall Master down this time!"
While the third master Ling could not make any decisions in the Ling family, he was very clear about the first hall master's recent suppression of the Ling family.
Seeing that the family head was about to be finished, the best choice for the Ling family to survive was to cling onto the first hall master's thigh.
At this moment, third master Ling didn't think that Ling Yingying had a choice.
The daughters of big families were meant to be used as tools for marriage alliances. They had spoiled Ling Yingying too much before, so she was lawless. Not only did she reject the marriage alliance, but she also said some things that hurt people's pride.
What else could she do when Ling Yingying's father died?
Even if the old Madam doted on her, she would not give up her family for her!
"Hahaha, third brother, you really know how to talk! I heard that your elder brother is already in a difficult situation. If he has something he can't bear to say, the Ling family still needs you to hold up the front! After all, the old lady was old and could not worry too much about the trivial matters at home. If you can manage the family, we'll be closer in the future!"
The first hall Master looked up and laughed. What he said didn't sound like anything, but he was actually making a secret promise!
The moment father Ling travels to the West, he would support third master Ling with all his might.
Third master Ling was secretly overjoyed. With the current state of the Ling family, if he had the first hall master's support, he would definitely have the chance to become the next family head!
Ling Binbin was the son of the first wife, but he was still young and had no foundation. It was not impossible for him to seize the throne as his uncle!
The two of them reached an agreement to work together. However, they didn't know that not only was Ling Yun's father still alive, but he was also in the front hall!
The first hall Master and third master Ling were already discussing Ling Yingying's marriage. The two of them were in a heated discussion. The first hall Master might have offered a lot of benefits, but a cold laugh came from outside the door.
"First hall Master, I will decide my daughter's marriage, I don't need others to tell me what to do! Do you all think that I'm already dead? That's why you can arrange the Ling family's Affairs as you please and bully my daughter?"
As father Ling spoke, he entered the front hall, causing the first hall Master and third master Ling to turn pale with fright!
F * ck! If we really thought you were dead, why the hell are you still alive? Hurry up and die!
"Master!"
Third master Ling's face changed drastically as he quickly stood up and bowed.
He was just thinking about snatching the position of the head of the family and stepping on Ling Binbin, but Ling Binbin's father was standing in front of him, alive and well. It was hard not to feel guilty!
Usually, third master Ling would also address Ling Tian as 'brother'. But today, he was so shocked that he directly addressed Ling Tian as 'family head'. This was a sign of his guilty conscience.
The first hall master's expression changed. At first, he was shocked, but then it quickly turned into surprise."Hahaha, brother Ling, are you alright? That's great! I told you, this trick of flushing happiness would definitely work! Look, I'm just here to propose a marriage, and we haven't even agreed on it yet, and you're getting better. Isn't this too brilliant?"
Although he was smiling, he was cursing the Ouyang family master in his heart. He also cursed the Ouyang family master's 18 generations of female ancestors.
Is this a person who can't live past a day? Even a momentary recovery before death wouldn't be this energetic to wander around, right?
"Seeing that brother Ling has recovered, as an older brother, my heart is filled with joy. How could I possibly think that you're dead! Don't misunderstand! I definitely don't have the intention to bully the Ling family just because you're dead. "
The first hall Master chuckled and laughed.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to the Great Hall Master! I'm also very surprised that he didn't die! Speaking of which, what first hall Master means is that even if I'm not dead, I can still bully our Ling family as I please, right?"
Ling Yun's father continued to sneer, and his tone was not polite at all.
The first hall Master put away the smile on his face and showed a slightly gloomy expression.""Ling lingjiu, don't go too far. I'm giving face to the Ling family by personally coming to propose marriage. What are you trying to do by saying such things?"
