Chapter 508 - 190 Demand_2
Lady Mo raised her head to look at her husband’s anxious expression and dismissed the thought. If it were just about money, her husband would not have had such a strong reaction; it must have been about something else that was more important.
Lian Dongfang had not intended to tell Lady Mo, but the matter was of great importance, so he had to discuss it with her. Facing Lady Mo, Lian Dongfang said, "Before father’s death, he spoke with Dongbo for a long time. I believe father entrusted Dongbo with the entire Lian family’s network of connections; otherwise, how could his career be so smooth? But after my younger brother’s death, this network has been severed." What Lian Dongfang referred to was actually the network of connections left by Old Grand Master Lian.
Old Grand Master Lian had served as a Chancellor for over ten years, and apart from the obvious power, he also had a force behind the scenes. However, though Lian Dongfang was the heir of the family, he did not inherit this particular aspect, and he greatly resented this. He had been waiting for his younger brother to pass away, but then the network of connections was lost. He was certain that his younger brother had left something behind and had been searching for it over the years but couldn’t find it at all.
Not until today did he receive news that made him realize he had been looking in the wrong direction. Turned out, Dongbo had not entrusted these things upon his deathbed but had transferred them to Li Guoxing when he was seriously ill.
Lady Mo was startled, "Old Master, are you saying that this is a list of personnel?"
Lian Dongfang nodded, as the Lian family’s power diminished since the Great Grandfather’s passing, they had discontinued relations with many people. However, there were still quite a number of people in court who had been assisted or sponsored by Great Grandfather in the past, and all these were resources. He had to see and obtain these things.
Lian Dongfang did not explain too much to Lady Mo, simply stating, "This thing is very important to me; as long as I get it, my future career will go smoothly." With this, he would have help, and his future path would naturally be clear, including the career paths of his sons.
Lady Mo’s heart thumped with anticipation; this would naturally be a great boon for their family. But thinking of Yueyao, Lady Mo felt uncertain and hesitated, "Old Master, Third Girl has always been at odds with me; what if she acts against us? This matter is too important; we should proceed with caution."
Lian Dongfang cast a cold glance at Lady Mo, "If you treated her well, would all this have happened? Would she be so wary of you?" If Yueyao respected Lady Mo, he would have certainly entrusted this matter to Lady Mo. But within the Lian family, he couldn’t find a single person who got along well with Yueyao, and Lady Mo was to blame for this situation.
