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

"Our Xue family's Feng brand has done quite a bit of big business in the past two months thanks to his help, but most of it involved money, grain, and minerals, all of which ultimately flowed into Yangzhou. Don't you think there's something strange about that?"

"This one……"

Mother Xue was startled when she heard this, and naturally thought of some possibilities.

However, if this matter goes according to my daughter's idea, it is really too horrifying, so she said,

"Our Xue family has been in business for generations. If anyone needs something, we will definitely not turn them away."

Xue Baochai nodded slightly and continued,

"That being said, I overheard your conversation earlier. Don't you think there was something a little strange about Brother Linghu talking to you about the rebels in Yangzhou?"

"Although we should have made preparations early on, the war hasn't even started yet and the news has just reached Nanjing. Why did Brother Linghu come to us so hastily?"

Upon hearing this, Xue's mother frowned and thought deeply.

The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. His pupils gradually shrank, and he looked at Xue Baochai in astonishment and said,

"Baochai, you mean Linghu Chong is..."

Xue Baochai shook her head slightly with a serious expression.

"I am not sure as well!"

"However, in my opinion, why would someone like Brother Linghu help the Xue family recover without asking for anything in return?"

"Either he truly knows how to repay a favor, or he has great ambitions! And..."

At this point, Xue Baochai turned around and looked at Xue's mother, frowning,

"Not only was it strange that Big Brother Linghu rescued my brother, but afterward, Qingfeng Village seemed to have forgotten about it and didn't take any action."

"You know, my brother was in Yangzhou when he was kidnapped by that gang of bandits! Over the past two months, countless grain, fodder, and various ores and pig iron have entered Yangzhou through my Xue family's Fengzihao. Although my family has made a lot of money, have you ever thought about who in Yangzhou could afford nearly half a million taels of goods?"

"What confuses me most is that after saving my brother, Brother Linghu fell out with Qingfeng Village and was forced to leave. But until today, have you ever heard him complain about Qingfeng Village in Yangzhou? Even when he was talking to you Hong just now, he was referring to the rebels as Qingfeng Village, not the rebels."

After hearing so many doubts, Xue's mother was completely panicked.

Previously, she was still feeling relieved that the Xue family was gradually recovering, but now she was listening to her daughter's analysis.

Yes, where in this world is there love and hate without reason?

Even if it is a matter of repaying a favor, Linghu Chong and the Xue family were the first to do the favor.

Even if the Xue family brought Linghu Chong out of Yangzhou and came to Jinling, it was just a matter of convenience. Even if they were doing Linghu Chong a favor, how much could it be?

After hearing what Xue Baochai said, the more Xue's mother thought about it, the more she felt that Linghu Chong's identity was extraordinary.

Who knows, he might be a spy from the rebel group in Yangzhou now!

At this moment, Xue's mother felt as if there was an invisible big hand, or an invisible shadow, looming over the Xue family.

Mother Xue looked anxious and asked, looking at Xue Baochai in a panic.

"Baochai, what do you think I should do?"

"Should we send a message to your uncle and ask him to..."

Before Xue's mother could finish her words, Xue Baochai hurriedly shook her head to interrupt her.

"Mom, this is absolutely not allowed!"

Mother Xue was startled when she heard this.

"Hmm? Why is that? Didn't you say..."

Xue Baochai took a deep breath and shook her head slowly.

"These things are just my daughter's speculations, they can't be taken seriously."

"What if, by some chance, our guess is wrong, wouldn't that chill Brother Linghu's heart? Wouldn't that mean he'd be killed in vain?"

"This...is true!"

Upon hearing this, Xue's mother nodded solemnly.

Regardless of Linghu Chong's status, his contribution to the Xue family is obvious to all.

If the guess is wrong, not only will it harm Linghu Chong,

How long can the Xue family survive with just that useless son of his?

But when I think of another possibility,
