Originally, the Shen family had no particular plans; they simply wanted to find a more peaceful environment to survive. But now, their thoughts had changed. After all, the surrounding environment had also changed. The people of Yunyang City now believed that the Shen family had rebelled and occupied Yunyang City.
Why not make it real?
So, in just one night, everyone's thoughts changed.
Ling Xue was still sleeping soundly on the high bed with a soft pillow!
By the next morning, Ling Xue herself realized that something was wrong.
Apart from anything else, the maid sent from the capital was much more respectful to Ling Xue than when they first met yesterday.
"What's going on?"
After Ling Xue and the maids left, she asked Xiao Taozi. Xiao Taozi snorted softly before quietly explaining to Ling Xue, "They have no choice but to curry favor with you, young master. After all, you are the lord of Yunyang City now!"
Ling Xue's mouth opened wide, speechless. After a while, she finally asked, "How did I become the Lord of Yunyang City?"
Xiao Taozi said matter-of-factly, "If you don't become the Lord of Yunyang City, who else can? Word has spread that the young master of the Shen family, Shen Li, has rebelled and has already taken over Yunyang City."
Ling Xue was a little angry. She asked with a stern face, "Who spread the rumor? When did I rebel and take over Yunyang City? Besides, don't you know whether I rebelled or not?"
Xiao Taozi had been with Ling Xue from the beginning, so she knew Ling Xue had no intention of rebelling. But now that the news had spread, he couldn't deny it.
Xiao Taozi wasn't afraid of Ling Xue's cold face at all. She replied bluntly, "What's the point of me knowing? Anyway, everyone thinks you're rebelling and taking over Yunyang City. You should think about what to do quickly."
Xiao Taozi is just a maid. What can she think? She will follow the young master as long as he is rich. If the young master becomes a prisoner one day, she will lose her head too.
Ling Xue hurriedly ate breakfast and began to think about her next course of action. Her previous plan was scrapped; plans couldn't keep up with changes.
Before she could get to know them well, Shen Zhen and Shen Wang and the others came over.
The managers brought by Shen Zhen were all smart ones and had some face in front of Ling Xue. Therefore, Ling Xue took them to the flower hall to discuss things.
Ling Xue sat at the top, with Shen Zhen and Shen Wang sitting on the left and right. The others took their seats in order of their status.
Ling Xue looked at them and asked directly, "Tell me, what happened? How did I wake up and become the Lord of Yunyang City?"
The others didn't dare to speak when they saw Ling Xue looking unhappy. They all turned their eyes to Shen Zhen.
Shen Zhen cursed inwardly. These people were good at shirking their responsibilities, and all the pressure was suddenly transferred to him.
He couldn't help but speak, so after two dry coughs he began to explain, "The thing is, we entered the city with such fanfare yesterday that the prefect, Cui Hu, thought we were rebels, so he packed up his belongings and fled with his family."
At this point, Shen Zhen looked up at Ling Xue and found that Ling Xue had no expression on her face. He could not tell what she was talking about, so he could only continue, "I guess Cui Hu has already reported the news, and the people in the city also think that it was the Shen family who occupied Yunyang City. Even if we don't rebel now, no one will believe us!"
Ling Xue nodded. She also thought so. It really is true that man proposes, God disposes!
She doesn't care whether she rebels or not, the problem is that she has no experience in rebellion or fighting!
Ling Xue sat there thinking, and no one below dared to speak. No one could figure out Ling Xue's pulse, so they didn't dare to say much.
Besides, if they said more at this time, they would make more mistakes, and if they said nothing, they would be better off. So they all began to remain silent.
