The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

But she also knew that the Xue family was now in decline and her brother was incompetent. If she wanted the Xue family to maintain its current prosperity or even make further progress, she had to respond to the call and run for election.

Immediately, his expression relaxed slightly, he stepped forward and hugged Xue's mother's arm, smiling and saying,

"Mom, don't worry too much. It's still uncertain whether I'll be chosen or not!"

Xue's mother glared at him and said,

"What are you talking about? Your uncle is now the general of Jinling. With his care, you will definitely be selected!"

Xue Baochai smiled faintly when she heard this.

"But now Yangzhou has been occupied by rebels, and there is chaos everywhere. Even if I wanted to, how could I enter the capital?"

"By the time the rebels are pacified, it will probably be too late!"

Mother Xue was startled when she heard this.

"This……"

She was only thinking about giving the Xue family another breath, but she didn't think about this aspect.

Looking at his daughter who seemed to have a clear mind, he couldn't help but ask,

"Then you mean..."

Xue Baochai let go of her mother's arm, put her hands in front of her, looked out of the hall with her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and said word by word,

"My daughter thinks what Brother Linghu said is worth considering!"

"What? You..."

Mother Xue was shocked when she heard this and was about to speak.

Xue Baochai turned to look at Xue's mother and said with a smile,

"Mom, don't worry, listen to your daughter's explanation!"

Upon hearing this, Xue's mother sighed softly, and with the help of Xue Baochai, she sat back in her chair before looking at Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai turned her beautiful eyes slightly and looked at Xue's mother and said,

"What do you think of Brother Linghu's abilities, character, and vision?"

Mother Xue thought about it, then nodded slightly and said,

"Chong'er is a good boy. Although he has a somewhat eccentric temperament and likes red clothes, he is a capable and far-sighted man. Your brother's performance in recent months and the Feng brand's turnaround are all due to his contribution!"

"And it can help us control your brother, that scoundrel who works wholeheartedly without asking for anything in return!"

Xue Baochai nodded slightly, then asked with a slightly serious expression,

"You're right! But how do you think our Xue family was able to retain a talent like Brother Linghu, whose abilities and temperament were both top-notch?"

Upon hearing this, Xue's mother was stunned, and her expression changed. She looked at Xue Baochai with horror.

"Could it be that he has taken a fancy to you..."

Xue Baochai's cheeks flushed, and she said in a bad temper,

"Mom, what are you talking about? Brother Linghu has never met me."

Xue's mother rolled her eyes, shook her head and lowered her voice.

"No, what I mean is, could he be attracted to your brother? After all, they are inseparable every day?"

Xue Baochai was also stunned and looked at Xue's mother, shaking her head helplessly.

"Mom, what are you thinking? From the beginning to the end, it was always my brother who was pestering Brother Linghu. He has never been polite to my brother."

"Oh, that's right!"

Only then did Xue's mother raise her hand, pat her chest, and breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he thought of something and turned to look at Xue Baochai in confusion.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Xue Baochai pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said,

"Let me ask you a few questions, and you'll understand!"

Xue's mother nodded.

"Go ahead!"

Xue Baochai nodded slightly, then spoke,

"Brother Linghu rescued my brother from a den of thieves in Yangzhou City, and he even escaped from the clutches of those thieves in Yangzhou. Don't you think that's a little strange?"

Mother Xue was slightly stunned when she heard this.

She had naturally considered this issue after returning to Jinling.

However, after asking Pan'er, it turned out that he was indeed grateful to Linghu Chong for saving his life, and it was Pan'er who specifically invited him to go with her.

So she never asked again after that.

Now that I heard my daughter mention it again, I couldn't help but feel confused.

Before I could figure it out, I heard Xue Baochai continue,

"Let's not talk about how Big Brother Linghu managed to escape from the bandits who had already rebelled and taken control of the entire Yangzhou area in just two or three days. Besides, Big Brother Linghu is extremely capable and always knows how to repay kindness."
