Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Chapter 222: Dream and Reality (Part 1)

"Young Madam, what do you need from me?" Xu Shaoming walked into Leng Sa's study, looking at the young Madam who was sitting behind the desk with her chin resting on her face, feeling a little uneasy.

Leng Sa looked up at him and said with a smile, "I have something to ask you."

Xu Shaoming laughed dryly, "Young Madam, you are welcome, if you need anything, just ask."

Leng Sa nodded, flipped through the documents on the desk in front of her, pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said, "Sit."

Xu Shaoming stood up straight, "Your subordinates don't dare, please ask Young Madam if you have anything to say."

Leng Sa was a little helpless, "Sit down and talk, don't be so nervous, if you can't say it, I won't force you."

"..." He felt even more worried, what should he do?

Although complaining in his heart, Xu Shaoming sat down on the chair in front of the desk, with his hands on his knees in an extremely standard sitting posture.

Leng Sa didn't care, and asked calmly, "Last year... when Fu Fengcheng was injured, did you go with him?"

Xu Shaoming was taken aback, obviously he didn't expect Leng Sa to ask about this.

Leng Sa said: "Say what you can say, but forget it if you can't."

Xu Shaoming shook his head, hesitated and said, "It's not impossible to say, the young master said that the young lady doesn't need to hide anything if she wants to know."

Leng Sa obviously didn't expect Fu Fengcheng to have such an order, so he was taken aback for a moment before nodding, "Then tell me."

Xu Shaoming thought for a while and said: "It was indeed me and the young master who went there last year. At that time... because the escort was a batch of very important things, the young master led the team himself. It was eleven o'clock in the evening when the attack occurred. Pass."

Leng Sa said, "I remember it was written in the report that it was in the wilderness at that time. Since it is a very important material, why did you rush at night?" Now the world is not stable. Bandits and bandits are also concerned.

Xu Shaoming sighed and said: "Those things are not convenient to take the train, so I can only bring someone back by car. The north is vast and sparsely populated, and sometimes you may not meet people when you walk for a whole day. At that time... it was at Long's house. If we stay too long, it’s hard to say whether there will be any accidents or unpleasant things. We originally planned to rush to the border of the four northern provinces to rest, and we were only an hour away from the nearest county.”

Leng Sa thought for a while and asked, "Did it rain that night?"

Xu Shaoming said: "It started to rain after nine o'clock in the evening, but it was not heavy, and it didn't affect the itinerary at all." In winter, there is rarely any heavy rain, and Xu Shaoming remembered that the rain was really light that night. Looking at Leng Sa with some puzzlement, "Young Madam, why do you ask this?"

Leng Sa frowned slightly, "Those...those who intercepted you, did they say anything to Fu Fengcheng?"

Xu Shaoming shook his head, "How is this possible? It was a scuffle at the time, and those people secretly ambushed by the side of the road and fired cold shots, which caught us off guard. Those gangsters should have no chance to talk to the young master."

Leng Sa's brows were frowned even tighter, "That's not right, you are escorting things by car, not walking, if the car was blown up, Fu Fengcheng might be injured, why were his legs shot?" Xu Shaoming was stunned. , "This...anything can happen on the battlefield, right? I really didn't see the scene where I was shot in the last car."

"Fu Fengcheng himself didn't say that?" Leng Sa asked.

Xu Shaoming shook his head, "No, but I can be sure that those gangsters must have never had close contact with the young master. I rushed over within five minutes after encountering the robbers. At that time, the young master was already... Besides, young lady, you are also someone who knows guns , if it is a close-range shooting, there will be a lot of injuries..." I'm afraid it's not just that.

Leng Sa said: "So, Fu Fengcheng, who was originally sitting in the car, had his legs broken within five minutes of encountering the robbers."

Xu Shaoming remained silent.

He also felt a little strange when Leng Sa said that. But the battlefield is inherently fickle, and many things can happen in five minutes. Even the most powerful person may be taken away by a stray bullet.

Besides, if something is wrong, why didn't you say anything after the young man was injured?

Leng Sa took out a piece of paper full of words and said: "Encountered a sudden attack, when the opponent did not use a lot of bombs and heavy artillery, and the car itself was not in danger of exploding, why did he get out of the car instead of using the car as an obstacle to fight back or order Tell the driver to speed up and rush over?"

In the territory of the Long family, can someone really attack Fu Fengcheng with heavy artillery? Unless that is really a member of the Long family. Ordinary gangsters would be even less likely to use heavy artillery to attack if their goal was that batch of goods.

"Is the driver dead?" Xu Shaoming remembered that the driver who was in the same car as the young master was shot and killed in the driver's seat.

Leng Sa asked, "Who killed the driver?"

Xu Shaoming suddenly looked up at Leng Sa, "What does Young Madam mean?"

"Do you know that Fu Fengcheng often has nightmares?"

Xu Shaoming nodded. As Fu Fengcheng's true confidant, Xu Shaoming obviously knew much more than outsiders, "It's not too often, it's just that during the period after the injury, the injury gradually healed and disappeared. This time the injury suddenly worsened." ..."

Leng Sa said: "The situation in his dream obviously has a certain discrepancy with the reality. I want to know whether it is simply because the nightmare strengthened the situation at that time, or whether he combined other memories of when he was attacked last year. Overlap?"

Xu Shaoming sighed, "Forgive me, Young Madam, I only started following the young master five years ago. I don't know anything about it before that. Although there will be some dangerous times in these five years, as far as I know I know there should be nothing particularly affecting the young and old."

"Where are the people who followed Fu Fengcheng five years ago?"

"Five years ago, the young master was resident in the capital, and he hardly returned to Yongcheng. And he was in school at that time, and there should be no long-term followers around him." Xu Shaoming thought about it, "Perhaps... the third prince knows something, the third prince and the young master We've known each other for many years, especially when we were in the capital. But, young lady, is there any use in pursuing these things now?"

Leng Sa shook her head and remained silent for a long time, then suddenly asked: "What does Fu Fengcheng want to do?"

The expression on Xu Shaoming's face froze, and he avoided Leng Sa's eyes for the first time, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Young, this... I can't say."

Leng Sa said: "You don't know why Fu Fengcheng did this, but you still decided to follow his order?"

The expression on Xu Shaoming's face was slightly hesitant, as if he was judging whether Leng Sa really knew what Fu Fengcheng was going to do.

In the end, he still said vaguely, "The eldest is my boss, and it is my duty to obey orders."

"Even...he will be destroyed together with himself?" Leng Sa asked.

Xu Shaoming was silent for a long time, before he said: "Young Madam, if this is really the case, this is also the young master's choice, and the subordinates cannot comment."

Leng Sa nodded, sighed lightly and said, "I see, you can go to work."

Xu Shaoming stood up, looked at Leng Sa and hesitated, "Young Madam, if you ask me..."

Leng Sa said: "Don't hide it from him."

"Yes." Xu Shaoming saluted Leng Sa, turned around and walked out.

Leng Sa looked at the documents spread out in front of him, and sighed wearily.

What did Mrs. Fu do to Fu Fengcheng? She's really not a psychiatrist.

I thought of the person who clung to me tightly last night as if I had exhausted all my strength, and the pale face that still frowned while sleeping. Leng Sa couldn't say "It's a big deal and run away with the family regardless".

The Virgin Mary is sick and needs to be cured!

Leng Sa sat in the study for a while in a daze, then got up and walked to the secret door between the two study rooms and opened the door.

In the study on the other side, it was empty and there was no one there. Leng Sa raised her eyebrows slightly, and when she walked out of the study, she saw Fu Fengcheng sitting next to the swing in the yard, and standing in front of him was a man who looked a little familiar.

Leng Sa hesitated for a while, but Fu Fengcheng seemed to have noticed her existence, and turned to look at the door of the study.

Following his movements, the person standing in front of him also turned around and looked over.

Only then did Leng Sa see clearly that the man was the steward of Mrs. Fu's yard and the second housekeeper of the Fu family.

Although Mrs. Fu has the final say on the affairs of the Fu family's inner house, but the housekeeper of the Fu family is not Mrs. Fu's cronies but someone left behind by Mrs. Fu.

The cronies around Mrs. Fu can only take the position of the second housekeeper, and follow the big housekeeper to do some not so important things, or things in Mrs. Fu's own yard.

"Young Madam." Seeing Leng Sa, the second housekeeper hurriedly saluted respectfully.

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows at Fu Fengcheng with great interest. It is rare for people in Mrs. Fu's yard to be so respectful to her.

With a calm expression, Fu Fengcheng stretched out his hand to Leng Sa and said, "Come here."

Leng Sa did not refuse, walked to Fu Fengcheng, glanced at the second butler standing beside him, "Butler Feng is here at this time, is he here to visit the young master?"

The second housekeeper laughed dryly, but did not speak.

Fu Fengcheng took Leng Sa's hand and made her sit down on the swing in front of her, "To take care of my wife, I didn't sleep well last night, why don't I take a rest for a while."

Leng Sa said: "I feel fine, and it's getting late. Xu Shaoming was here just now, did you see him?"

Fu Fengcheng nodded, "He has gone to work."

Leng Sa was a little surprised, "He's still wounded."

"There are few people, but there are many things to do." Fu Fengcheng replied calmly.

The second butler standing next to him looked very embarrassed, a little at a loss, "Elder...Elder..."

Leng Sa smiled at the second butler, "What's the matter, Butler Feng?"

The second steward said cautiously, "That... the warlord, the warlord won't let Madam go out."

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Mother has worked hard these days, it would be a good thing to take a good rest in the yard to recuperate. The warlord cares about mother, is there any problem?"

The second butler was almost choked by Leng Sa's words, Madam probably didn't want such "concern".

But the second housekeeper didn't dare to offend Leng Sa casually at this time, and said with a smile, "This... Madam dare not disobey the governor's wishes. It's just that the small courtyard is only a few steps away, Madam will inevitably feel bored."

Fu Fengcheng said: "Have someone send the Feng family... to accompany her, if not enough, let Zheng Ying and Fu Anyan go."

"I'm afraid..." the second housekeeper said hastily, "The fourth young lady is heavy, and the third young lady has to take care of the young young master. As for Miss Feng, after all, she belongs to the Feng family, so it's more important to be filial to my uncle."

Fu Fengcheng said indifferently: "Don't worry, she will be homeless soon, and I can only thank Madam for taking her in."

"..." The second steward looked blank, what does this mean, Young Master?
