Reborn Di daughter seeks the world

Chapter 353
Seeing Ye Lingxi staring at his painting, Peng Lai couldn't help but glanced at her and asked, "Do you know the person in this painting?"

Ye Lingxi came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just think that General Peng's painting skills are excellent, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances. Speaking of which, I ask General Peng to forgive me for being abrupt."

Peng Lai's eyes fell on the painting in an instant, he shook his head and said, "This old man is not the one who draws her best." But he soon realized that it was not good to tell a junior, so he walked out.

"Go, bring that box here." Peng Lai said this to Peng Cheng.

Peng Cheng nodded, walked to the next shelf, and tiptoed to remove a box from it.

Ye Lingxi glanced at the box, her eyes filled with puzzlement.

"Earlier, my son borrowed 41 taels from me. These are bank notes. You can read them carefully." Peng Lai said to Ye Lingxi.

Peng Cheng opened the box and handed it to Ye Lingxi.

Ye Lingxi looked at the stack of banknotes in the box, smiled at Peng Lai and said, "General Peng actually doesn't need to return the silver to me in a hurry, Ah Cheng and I are friends."

"Because you are friends, these exchanges of interests shouldn't be involved. This old man is also for the good of you and Ah Cheng." Peng Lai replied.

Hearing this, Ye Lingxi frowned. In fact, she hadn't planned to get these bank notes back in the morning. Later, she got close to Peng Cheng, so she didn't even think about getting them back. Every time, she followed Peng Cheng's words. Said, afraid of embarrassing him.

"Brother Ling, you can put away these bank notes. I feel embarrassed to owe you money all the time. Anyway, thank you very much earlier." Peng Cheng also said.

Seeing the firm attitude of the father and son, if Ye Lingxi didn't answer it, it would make people feel ill-intentioned, she smiled slightly, "Then respect is worse than obedience." She took the box.

Seeing this, Peng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, he can deal with Brother Peng with a clear conscience.

"It's almost time for lunch, Mr. Ling will have lunch here." Peng Lai looked at Peng Cheng, "Go prepare and order the kitchen."

Peng Cheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.

Ye Lingxi looked at Peng Lai, how did he give birth to a suspicious and innocent son.

"Sit down." Peng Lai walked to the table and sat down, picked up the teapot and poured Ye Lingxi a cup of tea.

Ye Lingxi put the box on the table and took it with both hands.

"The surname Ling is not very common, at least in Xiliang, but in the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, especially Youzhou, it is a common surname, so does Mr. Ling come from Youzhou?" Peng Lai put down the teapot and looked Looking at Ye Lingxi, his eyes were sharp.

Ye Lingxi took the tea calmly, but her heart was not as calm as she appeared on the surface. As a person who is on the battlefield, the majesty accumulated over the years can shock ordinary people to death.

She is luckier than ordinary people in that she has lived two lifetimes. In her previous life, she fought with her father at the age of 11 and died in battle. She has seven years of experience anyway, so her situation is better than ordinary people.

"General Peng is right, I am indeed from Youzhou." Ye Lingxi said calmly.

"Ling Wu probably isn't your real name." Peng Lai continued.

"Long Wu in the next family, so I call Ling Wu again. As for the real name, the surname is actually just a code name." Ye Lingxi said frankly. "However, General Peng is really powerful. He knew where I came from so easily."

Peng Lai snorted coldly, "The Ling family in Youzhou has been in business for generations, and they are among the richest in the world. They can easily spend 41 taels, and someone with the surname Ling, besides the Ling family in Youzhou, I really can't think of anyone else."

"Looking at General Peng, it seems that I am approaching Ah Cheng on purpose." Ye Lingxi looked at Peng Lai who was opposite, and said with a smile, she could clearly see his hostility.

Peng Lai looked at the person opposite, he looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, but his eyes showed a bit of maturity, as if he had experienced everything.

"Is it the fifth girl in the Ling family?" Peng Lai said suddenly, "I don't think this old man thinks that you are interested in this stunned young man from my family."

After saying this, Ye Lingxi's expression darkened, and then she felt relieved. She said helplessly, "It seems that I can't hide this little trick from General Peng. In fact, General Peng doesn't need to doubt me. I'm just a businessman."

"Can a businessman easily be appreciated by King Jin?" Peng Lai asked back, but he didn't seem to want to delve into this matter, "My Peng family started to make a fortune from the old man's generation, so it has a strong foundation in this city. Very shallow."

"General Peng still suspects that I have ulterior motives." Ye Lingxi chuckled.

"41 taels is not 41 taels. There is no such thing as a white pie in this world." Peng Lai looked at Ye Lingxi and said indifferently, "At least I won't believe it."

Ye Lingxi looked at the solemn look in Peng Lai's eyes, suddenly chuckled, and nodded, "General Peng is right, I did intend to get close to your Second Young Master." Said in front of someone like Peng Lai. False words are often self-defeating. It is most appropriate to distinguish between true and false, false and true.

Peng Lai frowned, "Why?"

"Maybe he wants to understand the situation in Xiliang, maybe he wants to murder your Peng family, maybe he's just bored, which one do you think General Peng is?" Ye Lingxi asked back.

"The Ling family has never been involved in government affairs, which is why the Four Kingdoms acquiesce in their existence." Peng Lai looked at Ye Lingxi who was opposite him, "So there are two possibilities. First, you are not the Ling family, and the purpose is to disturb the west. Liang's evidence, second, you are from the Ling family, but you have a grudge against my Peng family!"

"General Peng is really powerful. He can explain all the possibilities in one sentence." Ye Lingxi smiled slightly, "Then you might as well guess whether I am from the Ling family or not."

Peng Lai looked at the girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old in front of her. She was full of wit and cunning, or it should be said that she was a smart girl who knew what to say and what not to say.

"I believe you are from the Ling family, but I also suspect that you are not." Peng Lai said in a deep voice, being close to Peng's family and King Jin is enough to show that she is interested in Xiliang's political situation.But the ancestral precept of the Ling family was that the Ling family was not allowed to enter the court, and she refused to reveal her real name, perhaps to conceal it.

"I've been talking for a long time, why don't we talk about you, General Peng, the painting just now looks good, isn't it Mrs. Zun?" Ye Lingxi said with a slight smile.

Listening to this time, Peng Lai frowned and glanced at Ye Lingxi, "What do you want to say!"

"What I want to say is that General Peng secretly painted other people's wives. I don't know what kind of intentions he has in mind." Ye Lingxi looked at Peng Lai with a half-smile, "I don't know if your old friend knows about it. I know what kind of thoughts will come out.”

Peng Lai looked at the woman in front of him vigilantly, and said in a deep voice, "Who the hell are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, I just happen to know the woman in the painting and her husband, so I was a little surprised when I saw it just now, but I heard that this couple has passed away. It's a pity, there are so few in the world A couple of gods and gods." Ye Lingxi sighed, but looked at Peng Lai with a bit of sternness in his eyes, the woman he just drew was her mother Nan Gongxian, if his father knew that his good senior brother coveted him His wife, I don't know if she will be so angry that she will not live in peace.

From this point of view, Peng Lai is not necessarily not directly related to the demise of the Chu family, maybe he framed his father!Before coming, she gave herself countless reasons to calm down the anger in her heart. After all, this person is her uncle, but she actually let her see the scene just now.

Peng Lai's face was not very good-looking, he looked at the girl in front of him, "You are not old, they passed away three years ago, when did you meet them?"

"What is General Peng suspicious of?" Ye Lingxi sneered, "Is it important when I met them? The important thing is, General Peng, don't you feel even half of the guilt in your heart?"

"Why should the old man feel guilty!" Peng Lai said coldly, looking at the woman across from him with heavy eyes, "Say, who are you!"

The corner of Ye Lingxi's mouth curled slightly, and she looked at him with a half-smile, "Of course I'm Ling Wu, otherwise who would I be!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became more and more severe, filled with invisible murderous aura. Ye Lingxi raised her head and looked at Peng Lai. She admitted that Peng Lai had much more experience on the battlefield than her, and his aura was also stronger than that of Peng Lai. She is strong, but she has been with her father since she was a child, and she has experienced ten times stronger training than others, so she is not afraid of him!
Those sharp eyes looked at the girl in front of him fiercely, as if he wanted to find something in common with her, but this was a completely unfamiliar face, and he couldn't see any disguise except that the woman was disguised as a man. technique.However, this girl's aura is not weak, even very strong, with a bit of domineering aura that has gone through the battlefield.

"Father, Brother Ling, what are you talking about?" Peng Cheng's voice suddenly came from outside, interrupting the tense atmosphere.

Ye Lingxi raised her head, looked at Peng Cheng and said with a smile: "Just talking casually, it just so happened that I just thought that some things have not been dealt with, and His Royal Highness King Jin is probably still waiting for my reply, so this lunch is probably a It's useless." She stood up with an apologetic expression on her face.

Hearing this time, Peng Chengliang's smile froze instantly. He looked at Ye Lingxi and frowned and said, "Why does that King Jin have so many things?"

Peng Lai frowned, and shouted coldly, "Presumptuous! Can His Royal Highness King Jin arrange anything you want?"

"Oh!" Peng Cheng responded in a low voice, looked at Ye Lingxi, and said unwillingly, "Brother Ling, do you really have no time?"

Ye Lingxi said helplessly: "Next time, next time I invite you." She said to Peng Lai, "General Peng, I will take my leave first."

Peng Lai didn't speak, just looked at her, as if searching for something on her face.

Ye Lingxi didn't seem to notice, she nodded at Peng Cheng and walked outside.

Seeing this, Peng Cheng quickly followed and sent Ye Lingxi off.

Not long after the two left, Peng Jin came in.

Looking at his father sitting at the table in a daze, Peng Jin whispered, "Father, that Ling Wu..."

"She is from the Ling family in Youzhou." Peng Lai said with a frown, "However, I suspect that she has something to do with the Chu family in Donghua."

"The Chu family..." Peng Jin murmured, and looked at Peng Lai in astonishment, "Father, did he approach my Peng family because of..." Thinking of his second brother who had just left, he became anxious, "Oops, Second brother, he..."

"Don't worry, she probably won't do anything to your second brother for the time being!" Peng Jin looked at the bank note left by Ye Lingxi on the table, and said suddenly, "From my father's point of view, her goal is to be my father!"
