Chapter 49 Xiao Ling's Help
While Su Jinxiu was busy working for the development of the Marquis's mansion, Xiao Ling was always quietly observing her every move. Whenever Su Jinxiu encountered a difficult problem, Xiao Ling would always lend a helping hand at crucial moments.
When Su Jinxiu's negotiations with her demanding partner reached a stalemate, Xiao Ling used his connections in the business world to gather crucial intelligence on the other party. This intelligence allowed Su Jinxiu to identify the partner's weaknesses during the negotiations, successfully breaking the deadlock and reaching a favorable cooperation agreement.
"Xiao Ling, I really owe you a lot this time. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do," Su Jinxiu said gratefully.
Xiao Ling smiled and replied, "I'm willing to do anything to help you."
When Su Jinxiu was running around the capital for the sake of the Marquis's mansion but encountered difficulties from officials, Xiao Ling secretly pulled strings and created an opportunity for Su Jinxiu to meet with key figures.
"Jinxiu, just go for it, I'll support you." Xiao Ling's encouragement filled Su Jinxiu with courage and confidence.
On one occasion, a shipment of important goods belonging to the Marquis's residence was robbed en route, and the situation was critical. Upon learning of this, Xiao Ling quickly dispatched his trusted guards to the rescue, saving the goods and preventing a major loss for the Marquis's residence.
Looking at the unharmed goods, Su Jinxiu felt even more grateful to Xiao Ling.
However, Xiao Ling's assistance was not without its challenges. During one instance of obtaining crucial intelligence for Su Jinxiu, he inadvertently attracted the attention of some hostile forces.
These hostile forces began to secretly investigate Xiao Ling's actions and attempted to sabotage his assistance to Su Jinxiu.
"Xiao Ling, did I cause you any trouble?" Su Jinxiu asked worriedly.
Xiao Ling comforted her, "Don't worry, I can handle this."
However, the hostile forces became increasingly insidious, even spreading rumors in the court to falsely accuse Xiao Ling of colluding with the Marquis's mansion for personal gain.
Upon hearing this, the emperor became suspicious of Xiao Ling and summoned him to the palace for questioning.
"Xiao Ling, are you aware that someone has impeached you for having too close a relationship with the Marquis's mansion and harboring treacherous intentions?" The emperor asked solemnly.
Xiao Ling knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty is wise. I am loyal to Your Majesty and my assistance to the Marquis's Mansion is for the purpose of stabilizing the court. I have no selfish motives whatsoever."
Fortunately, the emperor still trusted Xiao Ling and temporarily suppressed the matter, but warned him to be careful.
Even after leaving the palace, Xiao Ling did not stop helping Su Jinxiu. He became even more cautious, avoiding the eyes and ears of hostile forces.
Thanks to Xiao Ling's tireless efforts, Su Jinxiu became more composed in dealing with the various challenges posed by the Marquis's mansion. The mansion's businesses continued to expand, and its reputation grew daily.
However, their close cooperation also aroused jealousy and resentment among some people.
A powerful young man in the capital was extremely dissatisfied with Xiao Ling's behavior, believing that he was disregarding his own safety for a woman and damaging the royal family's reputation.
"That brat Xiao Ling is completely bewitched by Su Jinxiu, he's completely out of control!"
This privileged young man began plotting how to sabotage Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu's relationship and create even more trouble for them.
At the same time, Su Jinxiu also noticed the undercurrents around her.
"Xiao Ling, aren't we causing each other too much trouble?" Su Jinxiu asked worriedly.
Xiao Ling grasped her hand and said firmly, "No matter what, I will not give up."
Just as they were preparing to face new challenges together, a mysterious letter was delivered to Xiao Ling...
