Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Chapter 228 Give up power?

"The Leng family is going to Beijing?" Xiao Yiran and Leng Sa walked in the courtyard of the Leng's family with some surprise.

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows, "You don't know?"

Xiao Yiran raised his forehead, "I don't deal with Mrs. Leng, so how would I know what they're messing around with? What's going on? Didn't it say that only Sanfang and Leng Yan went to the wedding? Why did the entire Leng family have to go to the wedding?" Beijing?"

Leng Sa is speechless, I still want to ask you for some information, you ask me?

Apparently Xiao Yiran also thought of this, turned his eyes and said: "Come on, let's find someone to inquire about."

Xiao Yiran took Leng Sa to the guest house, and the person he was looking for was none other than Xiao Minran, the bastard son of Xiaojun Wang's family.

Xiao Minran looked like a young man with no sense of presence, and he was flattered to see Xiao Yiran's arrival, then looked at Leng Sa who was with Xiao Yiran and said quickly: "Cousin, young lady, why are you here? "

Xiao Yiran sat down, pulled Xiao Minran kindly and said: "Minran, my cousin asked you something."

Xiao Minran quickly said, "Just say what you want."

Xiao Yiran raised her eyebrows and said: "How did you discuss it with Mrs. Leng? How did it become that the entire Leng family is going to move to the capital?"

Xiao Minran said with some panic, "This, this... It's all about Mr. Xiao talking to Mrs. Leng, I..."

"Bullshit." Xiao Yiran interrupted unceremoniously, "Xiao Ming is in charge of the internal affairs hall, and it's not too bad to talk about the details of the wedding. He dares to talk about these things with Mrs. Leng?" It would be strange to kill him.

Xiao Minran shrank his neck and didn't speak, Xiao Yiran stretched out his arms around his neck and looked like we two brothers were happy, "Minran, I've worked so hard to accompany you this trip, isn't it embarrassing to keep this stuff from me?" ?”

Xiao Minran gave Xiao Yiran a strange look. These few days, his cousin was having a great time running out all day, but he didn't see where he was working hard.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Minran still couldn't bear Xiao Yiran's stalking and said in a low voice, "This... I really don't know, my father sent the head of the palace to come with us, and he was the one who talked about it with Mrs. Leng. But I also heard a few words, Leng Yan of the Leng family is going to marry the daughter of an important person in the capital, and the old lady Leng...I heard that the cabinet intends to invite him to be an advisor to the Ministry of Education and the dean of the National University's School of Literature and History."

Xiao Yiran and Leng Sa looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and said, "Master Leng is going to come out of the mountain again?"

Xiao Minran said: "Master Leng is not very old yet."

"..." It's over seventy years old, isn't it old enough?

"Why haven't I heard of this?" Xiao Yiran asked with a frown.

Xiao Minran said: "It took two days to confirm, my cousin should receive the news soon."

Xiao Yiran nodded, and asked, "Master Leng came out again, who is in the middle? Don't tell me it's your father." Xiao Yiran still knows Xiaojun Wang a little bit, and he typically doesn't see rabbits. Do not scatter hawks.

Xiao Minran shook his head, "I really don't know about this. I just vaguely heard...Prince An visited the Zhang family."

Xiao Yiran frowned and didn't speak for a while, Xiao Minran quickly said, "It's not certain, Prince An and the Prime Minister had a good relationship in the early years, it may not be because of this."

"..."

Leaving the guest house, the two walked outside together. Xiao Yiran couldn't help but asked, "What does Young Madam think about this?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "I don't know anything about these things, how can I have any opinions?"

Xiao Yiran didn't force it, "Okay, I won't bother looking for Fu Fengcheng anymore, remember to tell him when you go back."

Leng Sa said: "Is this important?"

Xiao Yiran sighed, and said, "Young Madam, do you think... Mrs. Leng is not important?"

Leng Sa hesitated for a moment, and said: "As far as your royal family's attitude is concerned, I don't see how important it is." Xiao Yiran, the prince, doesn't care much, and Xiaojun Wang doesn't seem to care much about the Leng family. inside.

Xiao Yiran shook his head and said: "You have to know that the old master Leng was not only the emperor's tutor, but also served as an official in the court for many years. His reputation among scholars is not comparable to that of ordinary people. It is not an exaggeration to say that his disciples and old officials are all over the world. And... most of his disciples are only around 40 or 50 years old now, except for those who died in the accident and really declined, what do you think the status of the rest of them is now?"

Leng Sa frowned and said, "But these years..."

"Mr. Leng was a staunch royalist back then, and was more radical than the royal family. In the end, he even lost his most valued eldest son. That's why he left Beijing angrily after Prince An abdicated. Over the years, whether it is the royal family or the royal family, The cabinet or some powerful people are staring at the Leng family. If the old master Leng can survive like this until his death, the Leng family will naturally decline. But if he comes out again, I'm afraid it will still happen. There are quite a few people who are willing to give him face. If the Zhang family really came forward..." Leng Sa understood, which means that the cabinet's attitude towards the Leng family has changed.

"Will it affect His Majesty?" Leng Sa asked.

Xiao Yiran spread her hands and said, "It's hard to say, I don't know."

Leng Sa said: "I see, I will tell First Young Master Fu when I go back."

Xiao Yiran looked at her strangely, "You are still called Fu Fengcheng Young Master Fu?" He looked at her suspiciously, "You two can't be..."

Leng Sa said very calmly, "Oh, this is fun, a single dog like you doesn't understand."

"..." If you are single, you are single, why are you still a dog! Can you still talk properly?

Leng Sa returned to Fu's house and was called to Mrs. Fu's yard as soon as she entered the door. Although Mrs. Fu was ordered not to go out by Governor Fu, she was still the wife of Fu's wife, Fu Fengcheng's mother. She asked to see Leng Sa, Leng Sa It is also impossible to ignore it.

It wasn't until Leng Sa passed that she realized that Mrs. Fu didn't just want to see her, but called all the four young wives of the Fu family over. But before Leng Sa arrived, the three of Zheng Ying could only sit in the hall and wait. Seeing Leng Sa coming in, the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The second young lady and the third young lady are okay, after all, we are all young people, even if we usually sit in a pampered position, it's no big deal.

But Zheng Ying suffered a lot. A pregnant woman sitting here with a big belly and a sore back can't show it. Even the Second Young Madam and the Third Young Madam didn't like to see Zheng Ying very much at ordinary times, but they couldn't help but look a little more worried when they looked at her now.

If something happened to Zheng Ying, they might be blamed.

"Sister-in-law, you're here." The Second Young Madam stood up and greeted her courteously. This behavior naturally attracted the attention of Zheng Ying and the Third Young Madam next to her.

But both of them also knew that the second young master Fu Yingcheng was working with Leng Sa, and it was only natural for the second young lady to be more courteous to her.

The third young lady felt a little envious, but she felt a little sad when she thought of her husband's appearance.

Leng Sa waved her hand and said, "You're welcome, let's all sit down. Is there something why mother invited us here?"

The three looked at each other and shook their heads. They only received a message from Mrs. Fu asking them to come over, but they didn't know what it was for. Even Zheng Ying, who is Mrs. Fu's own daughter-in-law, didn't know, let alone the second and third young wives.

Zheng Ying frowned slightly, also worried, "Sister-in-law, why do you think Mother asked us to come?"

Leng Sa shook her head and didn't care too much, "Mom must be bored and just want someone to come and talk with you, don't worry."

The three of them didn't quite believe what she said when they saw the calmness of the sky.

Mrs. Fu has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. Now that she is in a good mood after being locked up by the warlord, she specially invites them to come over for a chat? Who will believe it?

This time, Mrs. Fu didn't make them wait any longer and came out soon. There was Feng Wenwen beside her. Feng Wenwen looked a bit haggard, apparently the past two days had not been very good.

"Mother."

"Ma'am." Seeing Mrs. Fu coming in, the four of them shouted one after another.

Madam Fu nodded, her eyes paused on Leng Sa before she said calmly: "Sit down."

"Thank you, mother." After the four of them sat down again, the second young lady asked bluntly, "Madam invited us here, what's the matter?" Madam Fu glanced at her and said calmly, "Why? I can't find you Come and talk to me?"

The second young lady hurriedly laughed and said, "Ma'am, you are joking, we should be with you anytime you want to talk to us." Madam Fu snorted lightly, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I know you young people are impatient Accompanying an old woman like me will not force you."

Mrs. Fu was really in a bad mood.

The third young lady secretly rejoiced in her heart that she didn't take the initiative to run into Madam Fu's bad luck.

The second young lady apologized with a smile: "Then... what does Madam mean?"

Mrs. Fu said indifferently: "You all know what I look like now, I came to you to talk about family affairs."

The four of them were taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized what Madam Fu meant.

The Second Young Madam's complexion changed slightly, she hesitated for a while and said: "Madam, although it is inconvenient for you to go out now, the family matters are still..."

Mrs. Fu glanced at her indifferently, and the second young lady wisely stopped talking.

She also understood that today's protagonists could never be her and the third young lady, and Madam Fu called them both just to serve as a foil.

Zheng Ying is also in a bit of a dilemma. Of course she also wants a housekeeper, but she also knows that it is impossible for Mrs. Fu to give up power willingly, not to mention that her current situation is not suitable for doing these things at all.

Therefore, among the people present, Leng Sa seemed the calmest.

Madam Fu looked at Leng Sa, "What do you say?"

Leng Sa blinked innocently, resisted the urge to yawn, and said: "I don't care, mother can arrange whatever she wants. But... I have to take care of the elder and younger, and I usually have more things to do. I'm afraid I can't share my mother's worries."

Mrs. Fu stared fixedly at Leng Sa, and the others couldn't help but look at her together, and instantly remembered that she had evaded like this last time.

Obviously, she really has no interest in these things at all, and she doesn't care about the power that these young wives can't help but desire.

Mrs. Fu frowned and said: "As the eldest wife of the Fu family, this is also your duty, how can you be so lazy and shirk it?"

Leng Sa silently rolled her eyes in her heart, you don't really want to give it to me, if I really pick it up, I don't know what troubles are waiting.

"Mother, I'm sorry, but I think the housekeeper can take care of these things at home. It's not too late to report to you for a decision if there are really important things. There is really no need for someone to watch over them personally."

Mrs. Fu said lightly: "According to the rules, you should take care of things like marrying a daughter-in-law. I don't bother to see people like this now. Okay, don't say I'm partial, you can discuss it yourself." Take over, you are still young, so it is inevitable that you are not thoughtful, and other people can also be a deputy to help."

Zheng Ying supported her stomach and lowered her head in deep thought without expressing her opinion. The second young lady and the third young lady looked at each other for a while but did not dare to speak. Leng Sa leaned on the chair with a casual look, obviously not planning to say anything.

Mrs. Fu's face darkened, and she looked at the second young lady, "Second daughter-in-law, what do you say?" The second young lady said with a dry smile, "Ma'am, I can't interfere in these matters. Naturally, I will obey my wife's orders."

Mrs. Fu snorted coldly, looked at Leng Sa and said: "Since this is the case, according to the rules, the eldest daughter-in-law should still be in charge. From now on, the family affairs will be left to you, and other people should help your sister-in-law well, understand?"

"Yes, mother." Zheng Ying was a little disappointed, but didn't say anything.

"Yes, mother." The Second Young Madam and the Third Young Madam also responded quickly.

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows slightly, a little confused about what Madam Fu wanted to do.

But she doesn't care, she has learned some things like housekeeping in Leng's house, it is impossible to be proficient in it, but there is always someone better than her, isn't there?

"Thank you mother for trusting, I understand."

Mrs. Fu took a deep look at her, and said: "Now that you understand, take care of your family and don't let the warlord and I down."

Leng Sa nodded, "Yes, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone rushed in and had no time to worry about the four young wives sitting here.

Mrs. Fu was obviously dissatisfied with her own rude behavior, but before she could say anything, the man came in and said anxiously, "Madam, the young master is here!"

Madam Fu frowned, "Here he is, what's the hurry?"

"But, but..."

"But what?" Madam Fu asked impatiently.

"Eldest Young Master brought Feng San with him!" As soon as the words finished, Fu Fengcheng had already arrived at the door.

Fu Fengcheng was pushed in by Xia Wei'an in a wheelchair, and Xu Shaoming who was following him was holding a bloody man in his hand. Behind them, there were two more people escorting a man who was tied up like a rice dumpling.

"Fu Fengcheng, what are you trying to do?" Mrs. Fu's complexion suddenly changed, and she said sharply.

Fu Fengcheng did not answer Mrs. Fu's words, but looked at Leng Sa who was sitting on the side. Xia Wei'an immediately pushed the wheelchair to Leng Sa's side before bowing and standing aside.

"When did you come back and why are you here?" Fu Fengcheng asked in a low voice.

Leng Sa said: "As soon as I entered the door, my mother was summoned, and my mother asked me to be a housekeeper."

Fu Fengcheng said: "Do you like it?"

Leng Sa shook her head honestly, "I don't like it."

"Then don't." Fu Fengcheng said decisively.

Leng Sa nodded, she didn't want it either.

Now it's not the kind of rich and powerful family in ancient times. The women have nothing to do and the head mistress who holds the middle class really holds a lot of power.

Now the so-called housekeeper is really nothing more than trivial matters, and the housewife can't get involved in the outside affairs at all. If you really want to be a good housekeeper, it's no longer the way Madam Fu is.

"Fu Fengcheng!" Mrs. Fu couldn't bear being so ignored by Fu Fengcheng, and said sharply.

Fu Fengcheng glanced at Xu Shaoming, and Xu Shaoming immediately stepped forward and threw the person in his hand to the ground.

The man was bruised all over his body, and his clothes were almost stained red with blood. After being thrown to the ground and rolling, the ground was immediately stained red.

Several female relatives sitting on the side couldn't help exclaiming, and Zheng Ying even turned her head away as if suppressing vomiting.

Madam Fu looked at the person who rolled to her feet, her eyes suddenly shrank, and her eyes fixed on that person's face. Although his face was also covered with blood and dust, Mrs. Fu could still clearly recognize that person as Feng San.

It's just that Feng San's expression at this time is no longer respectful and obedient as before, but staring at her full of hatred and anger. Mrs. Fu collected herself, suppressed the horror in her heart and looked away at Fu Fengcheng, "What do you mean?"

Fu Fengcheng sat on the side holding Leng Sa's hand and did not answer Mrs. Fu's question, but Xu Shaoming next to him smiled respectfully, "Madam please forgive me, the previous incident was just a joke between us and this... Feng San. The young master had already severely criticized me, so I immediately let him go. Unexpectedly, he came to me again this morning, saying that he was hunted down by someone. The subordinate felt that he was a little sorry before. He, he is Madam's confidant, so I brought him back and asked Young Master and Madam to make a decision."

"Are you kidding?" Mrs. Fu said coldly.

Xu Shaoming smiled and said, "Yes."

Mrs. Fu's hands hanging by her side trembled a little, obviously from being angry.

"mother……"

Seeing that Mrs. Fu was so angry that she was about to lose control, Zheng Ying had no choice but to remind her. Mrs. Fu is now grounded by the warlord, so she can't do anything unwise anyway.

Mrs. Fu sneered, and said: "Then I have to thank you all. Now that the man is brought back, let's go down and treat the wound first, and we will talk about it later if there is anything else."

Xu Shaoming raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't say much, but Feng San on the ground showed a terrified expression when he saw the person who was walking towards him and wanted to take him down, "Young Master...Elder, Young Master, help!"

Madam Fu's face darkened, "Feng San, what are you talking about!"

Feng San was a little trembling, but in the face of Madam Fu's cold gaze and Fu Fengcheng's indifferent expression, he had to muster up his courage and said loudly, "Madam, I have been working for you for so many years, but you sent someone to kill me. Since you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous! I have already told you everything, even if you kill me now, it will not help."

Madam Fu's face was gloomy, but she didn't have an attack. Instead, he said coldly: "Oh, tell me, what did I do?"

Fu Fengcheng finally spoke the first sentence he said to Mrs. Fu today, "Mother, I have already passed on what Feng San said to my father."

Madam Fu froze for a moment, her face instantly became stiff and pale.

"What did you tell the warlord?!" Mrs. Fu stared at Fu Fengcheng and said angrily.

Fu Fengcheng frowned slightly, and said, "What do you think?"

"Touch!" Mrs. Fu grabbed the teacup by the table and smashed it on the ground at Fu Fengcheng's feet. The teacup shattered, and the fragments even splashed onto Feng San who was on the ground.

"Fu Fengcheng! You don't want to see me like that!" Mrs. Fu said sharply, "I should have strangled you when you were just born! I have raised a crime all these years!"

Fu Fengcheng said indifferently, "My mother has said this sentence many times."

Madam Fu choked for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "You think you'll be fine if something happens to me?"

This sentence should have been said many times, Leng Sa secretly said in his heart.

Mrs. Fu probably relied on this to be so unscrupulous. Unfortunately, not everyone cares about this, and Fu Fengcheng obviously doesn't care.

"Ma'am, young master, excuse me." Han Ran walked in from the outside, stood at the door and nodded respectfully to everyone. Holding a document in his hand, he glanced at everyone and said respectfully: "The warlord wants to ask his wife something, so I ask the young master and the young ladies to avoid it for now."

Fu Fengcheng didn't reply, and turned his head to Leng Sa directly: "Let's go back first."

Leng Sa had long been disinterested in this place, and immediately stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Fu Fengcheng glanced at Feng San on the ground, and said to Han Ran: "This person and the one outside are all left to you."

Han Ran raised his hand to salute him respectfully, "Yes, Young Master."

Fu Fengcheng didn't look at Mrs. Fu any more, and nodded to Xia Wei'an who was standing aside, Xia Wei'an immediately stepped forward and pushed Fu Fengcheng out.

A group of four walked out of the hall, and Feng San's cries for help and Mrs. Fu's cursing were intertwined.

"Young master! Don't leave me behind! Help me! I don't want to die... I've told you everything I know." It's because you told me that it's useless. Leng Sa thought to himself.

"Fu Fengcheng, you will be punished!" Mrs. Fu cursed bitterly.

Leng Sa glanced sideways at Fu Fengcheng, he remained expressionless as if he hadn't heard his biological mother cursing him. It's just that she held Leng Sa's hand harder, Leng Sa sighed in her heart, and held his hand backhand.

Fu Fengcheng looked up at her and said, "Let's go."

Leng Sa nodded and smiled, "Okay."
