Chapter 88
After a long silence, Lin Ruhai closed his eyes slightly, nodded, and sighed heavily.
"Qingfeng is absolutely right, but I also have my own reasons!"
Then, he looked at Qingfeng Li with a sad expression.
"Don't worry if you laugh at me, but none of my clansmen can be relied upon."
"If something happens to me someday, the only place that can raise Yu'er to adulthood is the Rongguo Mansion!"
"If that day ever comes, the current emperor might not take it too seriously, but considering my past hard work, even if... I don't think Yu'er will be implicated."
Li Qingfeng frowned upon hearing this, then shook his head.
"Even so, do you really think Rongguo Mansion can take care of Sister Lin?"
I guess Lin Ruhai in the original novel sent Lin Daiyu to the capital because of this idea?
Li Qingfeng had no idea whether Emperor Xinglong had any intention of involving Lin Ruhai's orphan.
Because Lin Daiyu never lived to that time.
Lin Ruhai frowned and looked at Li Qingfeng in confusion and asked,
"What do you mean?"
"The old Lord of Rongguo Mansion is the mother of my late wife, and Yu'er is her granddaughter."
"Although I have heard a little bit about the Rongguo Mansion's despicable behavior, with the old Lord's care, there will naturally be no problem for Yu'er to grow up and get married."
Qingfeng Li sneered,
"Master Lin, you are too naive!"
"Since ancient times, the world has been bustling with people, all for the sake of profit. The world has been in turmoil, all for the sake of profit."
"There's also a saying that death is like a light going out, and when a person leaves, the tea gets cold."
"When that day comes, Sister Lin will be all alone, living in Rongguo Mansion. If she were in an ordinary family, Sister Lin would at most be ignored."
"But if you really lost the millions and two taels of wealth in your hands, do you think that Lin Daiyu, who lives alone in Rongguo Mansion, would become a hot commodity in the eyes of some people?"
"If Miss Lin were still alive, could the Rongguo Mansion spend this money openly?"
Lin Ruhai's heart skipped a beat and his eyes widened instantly.
How could he, who knew human nature so well, not understand the meaning of Li Qingfeng's words and those unbelievable possibilities?
For a moment, Lin Ruhai's face showed pain.
After a long while, he looked at Qingfeng Li and said hesitantly,
"What you said is just a guess. I think it shouldn't be the case, right?"
Li Qingfeng sighed softly and looked at Lin Ruhai solemnly.
"Uncle, you hesitated, you hesitated!"
"That means you're not sure, right?"
Lin Ruhai slowly lowered his head, leaned back in his chair with a rather tired look, and remained silent for a long time.
Qingfeng Li sighed and said,
"In this world, the thing that cannot stand the test is human nature."
"Let alone a million silver coins, that's a fortune that countless families couldn't accumulate in several generations."
"For the Rongguo Mansion, which is now so wealthy and powerful, and needs money to survive, is a foreign woman more important, or is the Rongguo Mansion itself more important? Is there any need to think about this?"
"Ugh!"
Lin Ruhai sighed heavily and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.
"What can I do then? It's because Yu'er has no other place in the world except me, the Rongguo Mansion."
Qingfeng Li looked at Lin Ruhai with some dissatisfaction and said,
"Uncle, have you forgotten that I'm engaged to Miss Lin?"
"Uh……"
Lin Ruhai was slightly stunned.
He stared at Qingfeng Li for a long time before sighing and shaking his head slightly.
"Let's wait until you can survive the encirclement of the imperial army!"
After saying this, Lin Ruhai slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, many of his initial ideas and plans,
After a conversation with Qingfeng Li, he also changed a lot.
Perhaps, this Qingfeng Li is indeed someone worthy of entrusting Yu'er to?
It’s a pity that he was born a bandit.
Never mind, let’s see if he can really find his own way in the future!
Lin Ruhai had suppressed many of his thoughts at this moment. After he came down the mountain, he would keep silent about the affairs of Qingfeng Village and the court.
