Chapter 141 - All Were Merely ExcusesChapter 141: All Were Merely Excuses
When Ling Chuxi saw Ling Yuanhong stuttering and stammering, her heart sank.
“What happened to the second elder?” she asked anxiously.
Ling Yuanhong knew that Ling Chuxi and the second elder had a good relationship, so he spoke somewhat softly in worry, “The second elder, he, got injured. He’s still lying in bed.”

Without needing Ling Yuanhong to speak, Ling Chuxi could guess that the second elder lying in bed was definitely related to the Luo family and the Qin family.
Ling Yuanhong chased after her. “Chuxi, wait for me. Wait for me.”
Ling Chuxi did not bother about him as she rushed toward the second elder’s house in the ancestral court, with Ling Yichen following behind her.
Looking at Ling Chuxi who was slowly getting further away, Ling Xiaoting finally closed his eyes slowly and took a deep breath. The distance between them was widened just like that. He could only forever look at her back.
The moment she entered the ancestral court, before she managed to arrive at the second elder’s home, she saw the first elder standing outside with a face full of worry. When the first elder saw Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen, he was stunned.
After calming down, he frowned and asked, “Chuxi, Yichen, why did the two of you return? Who asked you to return? Didn’t I already instruct not to startle the two of you?”
The moment he finished speaking, he saw Ling Yuanhong who had a bruised face following behind them. “Yuanhong, what happened to you?” he asked in shock.
“I got beaten up by the Qin family and the Luo family’s people. However, I have retaliated and they are worse off than I am. Luckily, Chuxi and Yichen came back,” said Ling Yuanhong proudly.
The first elder frowned. “Go back first and put on some medication. Chuxi, Yichen, follow me.”
Ling Yuanhong pursued his lips as he looked at Ling Chuxi with reluctance before finally turning around and leaving.

After he brought Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen into the study, he asked once again, somewhat angrily, “Why did the two of you return? What would we do if we disrupted your studies at White Stone Academy? Did someone write to you and request that you return? To actually disobey me and startle the two of you!”
“No, First Elder. It was not the clan’s men who asked us to return. The Luo family sent someone to attack us. We guessed that the clan was in trouble, thus we returned,” said Ling Chuxi, frowning. “What exactly happened? What about the second elder? How did he get injured? How is he now?”
“What?!” The first elder suddenly stood up and smashed his palm onto the table. The table creaked, as if it was about to blow apart any second. The first elder’s tone became violently furious as he asked, “The Luo family actually sent people to deal with the two of you? Are the both of you alright?”
Ling Chuxi shook her head. “We’re fine. First Elder, what exactly happened? Just tell us quickly.”
The first elder’s face turned green. After slowing his breathing, he slowly sat down with an ugly expression on his face. “The Qin family and the Luo family had a marital alliance. Now, they are constantly targeting us. Quite a number of our businesses have also been snatched away by them. Just now, you yourselves have seen Ling Yuanhong’s matter. They actually dare to openly bully us and climb over our heads now!”
When Ling Chuxi heard this, she was a little surprised.
‘The Qin family and the Luo family built an alliance based on marriage? How did it become like this? Weren’t the Qin family and Ling family the ones who were previously building a marital alliance? That’s right, earlier she had heard Luo Yaoshan and the others saying that Ling Xiaoting had directly rejected the marriage. Could it be that this was the cause of the change?’
“Originally, the Qin family intended to let Qin Xiruo marry Xiaoting. But with Qin Xiruo’s situation, it’s not just the Qin family who were ashamed to go through with the marriage, even our Ling family would not agree. Later on, they wanted to match Qin Yumei with Xiaoting, but he refused,” said the first elder.
He suddenly sneered. “Actually, all these were merely their excuses.”
