Being a Lady of an Influential Family

No matter what the others thought, they all backed out under the signal of Old Master Leng, only Leng Yan was still sitting on the side, and Old Master Leng obviously had no intention of letting him back down. "Brother?" Leng Sa raised her eyebrows, looking at Leng Yan with a smile, the meaning was self-evident.

Leng Yan frowned slightly and turned to look at the old man Leng, the old man Leng snorted softly and said: "Yan'er, you should go out first."

Leng Yan took a deep look at Leng Sa, then nodded, got up and backed out, and closed the hall door smoothly.

When there were only old master Leng and Leng Sa left in the hall, even though it was broad daylight, the light in the hall was suddenly much darker.

Leng Sa walked aside and opened a window before going back to the previous seat and sitting down. The old man Leng straightened his back while supporting the crutch in his hand and looked at her, "What do you want to say, just say it."

"I don't want to say anything." Leng Sa smiled, "I just want to ask the old man, what exactly do you want to do?"

The old man Leng was startled, "What do you mean?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "You always use rules and reputation to talk about things, but I think you don't care about these things as much as you show. So...why do you insist on manipulating our marriage? Even your own granddaughter's life and Doesn't care about happiness?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Old Master Leng said angrily, "What do you mean I manipulated the marriage?"

Leng Sa tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with her fingers, and said with a light smile: "You don't have to deny it, the old man, I believe that my marriage with the Fu family is good for the Leng family, but... the marriage with Leng Mingshu and Xiao Haoran, What good will it really do to the Leng family? If the engagement is terminated, will it really have any impact on the Leng family?"

"If I can keep the Xiao family from annulling the marriage, of course I can also make Leng Mingshu annull the marriage without any harm. But..." Leng Sa looked at the old man Leng, "Gao Fengliang's grandfather never seemed to think of a second marriage. way."

"Enough, I don't know what nonsense you are talking about." The old man Leng closed his eyes slightly and did not look at Leng Sa, "For Shu'er, if you want to help, you can help, if you don't want to go out, just pretend that the Leng family has never raised her." Your granddaughter."

Leng Sa was not in a hurry, leaning on the back of the chair and looking at the old lady Leng sitting in front of her.

The old man Leng was a little impatient, opened his eyes and looked at her, "What are you looking at?"

Leng Sa smiled and said: "I know that the old lady doesn't need my help. It's just a Leng Mingshu engagement. If you don't want to quit the engagement, there are ways to settle the Xiao family. But I guess you don't want to do this, so you need me and Fu home to help."

The old man Leng stared at her with a sudden indifference, "What do you want to say?"

Leng Sa said indifferently: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Old Master Leng said.

Leng Sa shook her head, "Of course you insist on Leng Mingshu marrying Xiao Haoran not because of any friendship with the Xiao family. Then what do you want to do? Is it related to the Xiao family...or is it related to the royal family?"

"..."

Leng Sa sighed, and looked at the old master Leng for a long time before closing his eyes tiredly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already clear.

"Restore." Leng Sa said in a deep voice, "You want to support the royal family to take power again, and you are partnering with Duke Xiao? But now...the Xiao family has changed their mind. Compared with the Leng family...they have found a more valuable partner .”

Leng Sa looked at the silent old master Leng, and laughed in a low voice, "Big brother must have misunderstood, the Xiao family has no intention of regretting the marriage."

"Or...the Xiao family still wants Leng Mingshu, but...they hope that the Leng family will make concessions, for example, give up the position of the main wife. If they want to retire a few years ago, they retired a few years ago. Isn't it because of the Leng family and the Fu family? Even if Fu Fengcheng is abolished, he is still the young master of the Fu family." Leng Sa looked at the old master Leng and calmly stated his guess.

"To shut up!"

With a sound of touch, the old master Leng smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and suddenly raised his head to stare at Leng Sa.

Leng Sa let out a long breath, "Grandfather didn't want me to help the Xiao family not to divorce, but he needed me to help Leng Mingshu keep the position of the main wife and the Leng family's weight in the eyes of the Xiao family. With all due respect, grandfather……"

"What else do you want to say?"

Leng Sa smiled, "Your vision is too bad, it's hard for someone like Xiao Haoran to meet your expectations. And the Leng family...obviously there is no one who can turn the tide and change the world."

Old Master Leng said coldly, "What do you know?!"

Leng Saruo realized something, nodded and said: "Understood, what you bet on is not Xiao Hao but the Duke of Xiao. Leng Mingshu is just a symbol of your alliance with the Xiao family, or...a useless hostage ? If the Fu family can express their position, the weight of this hostage will naturally be heavier. You don't care whether the Xiao family cares about Leng Mingshu, but the Xiao family will value the Leng family more."

The old lady Leng's cloudy eyes were full of haze, "Leng Mingyue, you are indeed the smartest among the many girls in the Leng family. But do you know where your shortcomings are?"

Leng Sa was a little surprised, "Grandpa please teach me."

The old lady Leng said coldly: "You think too little, but talk too much. How much do you think your... self-righteous guesses are correct?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Are you self-righteous? As long as three points are right, that's enough."

"What do you want to say so much?"

Leng Sa said: "I promise to help you this time, the condition is... Erfang leaves the Xiao family, and from now on Erfang will have nothing to do with grandfather."

Old Master Leng's face changed slightly, "If the second bedroom has nothing to do with the Leng family's affairs, then what's your use?"

Leng Sa propped her chin and said with a smile, "The time may be after Leng Mingshu married into Prince Xiao's mansion, this is the only thing I can do for Leng's family."

"What if I don't agree?" Old Master Leng asked.

Leng Sa said: "Then I can't guarantee that I won't say something to Governor Fu or anyone else. Anyway, the old man just said that it was all my self-righteous guess, so the old man probably doesn't care?"

Old Master Leng's eyes were almost narrowed, but Leng Sa could see the bitter chill from them.

As if Leng Sa didn't see it, she yawned a little, "Old Master, I advise you not to think about unrealistic things."

"You are still from the Leng family after all, do you think... the Fu family will really believe you?" The old master Leng said in a deep voice.

"You think too much about the importance of the Leng family." Leng Sa smiled, "I want to believe the Leng family, but it's a pity that you are also working for others. If you tell me that you want to try the dragon chair What's it like, I might consider helping you. After all, I might be able to get a princess and princess Dangdang at that time, and I'm also very embarrassed that you didn't pursue it."

The old lady Leng looked at Leng Sa and suddenly laughed, and Leng Sa blinked her eyes and looked at her in confusion.

"The second child is worthless. I have worked so hard to cultivate Yan'er these years, and I thought that there would be no successors. I didn't expect... so you are the person who is most like me." The old lady Leng said with some regret, "You now So heartless, will you really not regret it in the future?"

Leng Sa asked, "You have raised and disabled all three sons these years, have you ever regretted it?"

"I was protecting their lives." Old Master Leng said coldly.

Leng Sa shook her head, "I don't understand, and I'm not interested in understanding."

"That's as you wish." The old lady Leng said in a deep voice, "As long as Shu'er successfully marries into the Xiao family, the second wife can leave the Leng family. At that time, I will give you a convincing reason, and I will never let your second wife Your reputation has been damaged. From now on, whether the Leng family's prosperity and wealth will rise to the sky in one step or they will fail completely is not as good as pigs and dogs, it has nothing to do with you."

Leng Sa smiled with satisfaction: "It's a deal."

"Hmph!" Old Master Leng snorted softly, "Aren't you afraid that I'll regret it later?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "If you go back on your word, I will kill Leng Yan."

"..." Mrs. Leng didn't know whether she was telling the truth or joking, and didn't continue the topic, "Get out."

"The old man doesn't look very well, take a good rest, I'll take my leave first." Leng Sa got up and said goodbye and walked out.

In the yard outside the door, except for the old man and his wife, no one else left. Seeing Leng Sa coming out, they immediately greeted her, "Yue'er."

"Third sister."

"Yue'er, what's the matter?"

Leng Sa stood in front of Leng Mingshu with a calm expression, "Fourth sister, let me ask you one last time, no matter what happens in the future, you will insist on marrying into the Xiao family?"

Leng Mingshu was taken aback, and Leng Sa reminded, "You'd better presuppose the worst outcome."

Leng Mingshu bit the corner of her lips and nodded firmly, "Yes, Third Sister."

A circle of gauze had already been wrapped around her forehead, her face was as pale as paper, but her thin lips became a little sickly bloody because of the constant biting, and she looked a bit determined and firm.

"I am different from the third sister. I have been engaged to Young Master Xiao since I was a child, and I have always been the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family since I was a child. No matter what happens, I will never regret it." Leng Mingshu raised Looking at Leng Sa from the beginning, his expression was determined.

"Do you think that people's hearts are fleshy, as long as you treat Xiao Haoran wholeheartedly, he will be touched by you one day, and the Xiao family will always accept you when you have a child?" thought.

Leng Mingshu was stunned, but did not deny it.

Leng Sa said: "I see, I hope you will never regret it."

"I won't regret it."

Turning around, he said to the second master Leng and the second wife, "Father and mother, let's go back first."

Master Leng and his wife saw that their daughter's face was not looking well, so they nodded quickly and led Leng Sa to the courtyard of the second bedroom.

The few people behind them all looked at each other in blank dismay. After a while, the third master hesitated and said, "This... Yue'er agreed to help?"

The third lady said: "It should be... right?"

Leng Yan looked at Leng Mingshu and frowned, "I'll ask my grandfather."

"Grandfather?" Leng Yan didn't dare to push the door to go in when he reached the door, so he could only stand at the door and call in a low voice.

After a while, the old man Leng's voice came from inside, "Yan'er, come in."

Leng Yan pushed open the door and walked in.

"Close the door."

Leng Yan closed the door as he said, and in the dimly lit flower hall, Leng Yan could hardly see the old master Leng's face clearly.

"Grandfather, what's the matter with you?" Leng Yan asked worriedly, "Where is the third sister..."

The old man Leng sighed, "It's okay, Yan'er, come here, grandfather has something to tell you."

"Yes." Leng Yan nodded and walked over obediently.
