Ouyang Feifei understood the implication in Yang Yuanshan's words.
The old Yang family head hadn't completely dispelled his suspicion of the Ouyang Family.
Or perhaps he intended to do sothing against the Ouyang Family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken this way.
This imdiately made Ouyang Feifei feel a sense of crisis.
Before coming to see Yang Qingyin and Yang Yuanshan today, Ouyang Feifei had promised her grandfather, Ouyang Lingyun, that she would make Yang Qingyin and Yang Yuanshan believe that the Ouyang Family had nothing to do with the incident.
Yang Qingyin had successfully believed this, and Ouyang Feifei had thought Yang Yuanshan could also be persuaded.
But unexpectedly, before she could even begin to explain, Yang Yuanshan had already concluded on the incident.
Ouyang Feifei was an exceptionally smart woman; aside from occasionally being foolish in matters of the heart with Luo Ziling, she was very astute in other affairs.
Even though Yang Yuanshan spoke in this manner, she still tried her best to clarify, explaining many things clearly.
She also directly ntioned that she and the entire Ouyang Family harbored resentnt over Luo Ziling's visit to annul the engagent, leading so to believe they wanted to sabotage the union between Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin. However, they certainly wouldn't do such a thing; people from the Ouyang Family don't easily get involved in political incidents.
The engagent with Luo Ziling could be considered as a political alliance, but maintaining good relations with the Luo and Ling Families could also bring benefits, with no need to engage in a contest with the Yang Family to achieve them.
The Ouyang Family didn't possess the political prowess the Yang Family was skilled in; even if they were foolish, they wouldn't do sothing that harms others by one hundred points but damages themselves by ten thousand.
But to her disappointnt, despite all her explanation, Yang Yuanshan showed no reaction, rely sipping his tea with indifference.
After she finished speaking, Yang Yuanshan only responded unemotionally, "The truth will co to light eventually!"
Ouyang Feifei, disappointed again, said nothing more. After exchanging a few polite remarks, she stood up to leave.
Luo Ziling also stood up to leave, preparing to depart with Ouyang Feifei.
As he rose, he gave Yang Qingyin a aningful glance.
Understanding his cue, Yang Qingyin quickly stood and said, "Grandfather, Ziling rarely visits. How about letting him give you a health check?"
"I just had a checkup a couple of days ago, let's skip it today!" Yang Yuanshan unexpectedly refused in front of everyone.
Luo Ziling didn't react, rely stating, "In the coming period, I might not have ti to assist Sir Yang with treatnts. In a few days, I'll be going to Hengdian, and then to the Northwest."
Yang Yuanshan glanced at Luo Ziling twice, finally agreeing, "Alright then, please conduct a checkup. If there's sothing that requires treatnt, feel free to tell !"
"Then you can go ahead!" Luo Ziling said, winking at Ouyang Feifei.
How could Ouyang Feifei not understand Luo Ziling's aning and promptly took her leave.
Yang Qingyin got up to escort Ouyang Feifei out.
Luo Ziling checked Yang Yuanshan's pulse.
After completing the check, Luo Ziling smiled and said, "It seems Sir Yang didn't rest well last night, as today's pulse feels a bit agitated!"
"Are you planning to plead for the Ouyang Family?" Yang Yuanshan bluntly asked.
"The Ouyang Family is innocent; why would I plead?" Luo Ziling squinted at Yang Yuanshan, "If you're thinking of extorting the Ouyang Family, it's really unnecessary! Considering Sir Yang's magnanimity, I don't think you'd be bothered by these matters."
"So cunning!" Yang Yuanshan chuckled, sipping his tea.
Luo Ziling ignored Yang Yuanshan's words, shifting the topic back to Yang Yuanshan's health.
"Sir Yang, you didn't sleep well last night, or perhaps sothing's troubling you, resulting in an agitated pulse. As the weather is getting hotter, you should consu more cooling foods to relieve the heat. Additionally, I believe during the hot weather, a strong dose of dicine might be needed. However, I and my grandfather might not be in Yanjing by then."
"What are you trying to say?" Yang Yuanshan's expression turned sowhat icy, "You've ended the engagent with the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Feifei is no longer your fiancée, yet you still help them?"
"The Ouyang Family and the Luo Family have old ties; Sir Ouyang and my grandfather are longti friends, of the kind that isn't overly utilitarian. Moreover, they've taken good care of , and I don't believe they'd get involved in this incident, so there's no need to drag them into it," Luo Ziling replied without hesitation, "If Sir Yang insists on forcing them to participate, using them for your own purpose, that's quite unreasonable, isn't it?"
"What is your intention in interfering?" Yang Yuanshan's deanor grew colder.
"rely for moral and emotional reasons!" Seeing Yang Yuanshan's attitude, Luo Ziling gained a clearer understanding of the situation.
It's definitely a conspiracy, with many involved, such as Yang Yuanshan, seeking to exploit this as-yet unresolved plot.
Yang Yuanshan coldly regarded Luo Ziling for a while, but eventually, his expression relaxed.
"Alright, since you ask, I'll agree not to trouble the Ouyang Family, but they must help assist in the investigation!"
Luo Ziling smiled, "I believe with the assistance of my mother and , that should suffice. Don't you think so, Sir Yang?"
"If Qingyin truly marries you, she'd even help you count the money if you sold her!" Yang Yuanshan sighed deeply.
"Sir Yang, you flatter !" Luo Ziling replied bashfully, "Your analogy is quite... quite devoid of substance. First, I wouldn't sell Qingyin; second, I'm willing to help Ouyang Feifei, so helping Qingyin is even more of a priority. I'm soone who values emotions; to , loyalty outweighs profit. So, Sir Yang, don't view with a worldly perspective; I'm a person who is different."
"To achieve great things, one should be unconcerned with trifles, but mustn't be overly sentintal!"
Luo Ziling's expression shifted slightly, but then he quickly smiled again, "Conquering the world and cherishing beauty aren't necessarily in conflict. To love the kingdom and the beauty is what a true hero does. Otherwise, life would be sowhat dull."
"Looks like the Ouyang Family should be thanking you again!"
"Is that important?" Luo Ziling shook his head, "I've never sought gratitude from others; otherwise, I wouldn't be helping you with treatnt."
After a pause, Luo Ziling said seriously, "Frankly, assisting in your treatnt is quite unwise. It nearly cost my life, which is rather unprofitable. It's pointless!"
"Alright, you may leave now!" Yang Yuanshan suddenly issued a dismissal, "I have matters to attend to as well. I assu you'll want to discuss further with Ouyang Feifei, possibly even ask for so benefits. Then go ahead, just make sure to bring Qingyin back, and ensure she regains her health promptly."
"Then I will be going!" Luo Ziling, in reality, enjoyed interacting and conversing with these elderly n.
He often felt a sense of accomplishnt whenever he gained an advantage over them.
Today was no different.
Implied threats, at tis, must be made subtly; being too straightforward might provoke them into embarrassed anger.
"Sir Yang, I will make every effort to arrange your upcoming treatnt. Even if I'm not in Yanjing during the sumr break, I can still help resolve this issue satisfactorily," Luo Ziling said while departing.
Yang Yuanshan chuckled, saying little more.
Yet in his heart, he silently criticized: This young man truly is not easily managed.
Daring to threaten him repeatedly, ti and again.
