Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Xiaojun Wangfu, Leng Mingshu suddenly woke up from the nightmare and sat up from the bed with a scream.

"Miss, you finally woke up! What's the matter? Did you have a nightmare?" A little girl rushed in from the outside, walked quickly to the bed and asked in concern.

Leng Mingshu tightly grasped her skirt with both hands, and said with fear on her face, "Xiao Ru, I... I had a nightmare." The girl named Xiao Ru hurriedly held her cold hand and comforted her, "Miss, don't be afraid, Dreams are fake."

Leng Mingshu said in a daze, "But... But I dreamed... Xiao Shao... Haoran was beaten to death."

The hand holding her both froze suddenly, and Xiaoru's face was filled with panic and pity, "Miss, then..."

Leng Mingshu hugged Xiaoru in fear, "Xiaoru, this is fake, right? I just had a dream. I'm going to marry into Prince Xiaojun's mansion soon. I... I'm just too nervous, so I will Having such a terrible dream." Xiao Ru said with some difficulty, "Miss, this...these are all true, my uncle has not woken up yet. Look at the room, we are now in Xiaojun Wangfu."

I don't know whether it was too much fear or deliberate neglect. After waking up, Leng Mingshu turned a blind eye to the festive decoration of the new house, and only thought that she was still in the Leng family's mansion in the capital.

Hearing what Xiao Ru said, the expression on Leng Mingshu's face froze instantly, and even the arms holding Xiao Ru also stiffened, "Why... how?"

Xiao Ru looked at Leng Mingshu's helpless look distressedly, and quickly comforted, "Miss, don't worry, my uncle will be fine."

"I'm going to see Haoran!" Leng Mingshu pushed Xiaoru away, got out of bed and rushed outside without caring about grooming, Xiaoru couldn't stop her and had no choice but to chase after her.

At this time, the members of the Xiao family were not in the mansion, and three masters were hospitalized at once, and one of them was still alive and dead. Naturally, everyone in the Xiao family was also waiting for the news in the hospital.

Duke Xiao's leg was broken, and the doctor didn't spend much time telling him that it was absolutely impossible to heal his leg with the current medical skills.

King Xiaojun was naturally unwilling, and asked if there was still hope if Hua Guoshou was found? Unfortunately, however, the doctors at the hospital rejected his hope.

The knee of his left leg was directly shattered, and it was lucky to keep the intact leg after cleaning up the debris.

If the effect is not good, it is recommended to amputate directly.

As for the princess of the county, it's just a heart attack, and she will be fine after taking the medicine and lying down for a while. It was Xiao Haoran who was injured the most. Although the bullet was taken out, the doctor also said that whether he can wake up depends on whether his life is hard enough.

In the gorgeous and spacious private ward like a hotel suite, Duke Xiao sat on the bed with a pale and cold face.

King Xiao Jun is already in his destiny, although he should be well maintained as a nobleman of the royal family. But the whole person looked very thin. Perhaps because of the frequent frowning, the wrinkles on his forehead are much deeper than those of people of the same age. At this time, his pale and cold face made him look like a cold and heartless corpse.

"Have you found it?!" Looking at the person standing in front of the bed, Prince Xiao asked coldly.

The middle-aged man standing in front of the bed shook his head and said sadly, "Those two are well-known killers on the road. They were wanted by various places a few years ago, and they have been missing for several years."

Prince Xiao sneered, "Killer? How did the killer get into the Prince's Mansion? Are all the people in charge of security working for nothing?"

The middle-aged man lowered his head even more ashamed, and said: "These two people came with invitations. The subordinates have already checked, and the invitations are genuine... They managed to get the invitations we sent out, and they used aliases to sneak in of."

Prince Xiao asked, "How do you send out the invitations?" At the wedding banquet of the county prince's mansion, the guests who came were either dignitaries or wealthy businessmen. Posts are naturally checked strictly.

"The young master of the concubine's natal family took two posts and left a few days ago, saying that he invited two friends to the wedding banquet. It is...the two who were killed at the wedding today."

King Xiaojun only felt that his eyes were dark, well, there is no proof of death.

The atmosphere in the ward was tense for a moment, and after a while Junwang Xiao took a deep breath and slowly squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Fu, Zheng!"

The middle-aged man was startled, and raised his head to look at Duke Xiao in surprise, "My lord, what do you mean... the six southern provinces did this?"

King Xiaojun stared at his bandaged leg after the surgery, gritted his teeth, and said, "Who else can there be?"

The middle-aged man fell silent. If it was really Governor Fu, they really couldn't do anything about it.

Without evidence, it would be useless even if they announced the matter. Not only would others not believe it, but they might even suspect going to Prince Xiao's mansion.

Fu Zhengyuan is in the six southern provinces. Why did he show this at the wedding? Thinking about the successive incidents of the Fu family in the past few months, I'm afraid they will be suspected whether they did something or not.

"My lord, this matter..." The middle-aged man looked at Duke Xiao with some hesitation.

Prince Xiao waved his hands weakly, and said with a gloomy expression, "Fu Zheng is a martial artist, and he is destined to have a good son, but it's hard to say who will have the last laugh. This time, Fu Zheng is ruthless, so I'm the loser... Let's wait and see later!"

Xiaojun's mansion can't face off against the Fu family, this is an innate weakness of the royal family.

They had to convince everyone in Anxia, ​​especially the powerful governors, that the royal family had no ambition to regain control of the world. Once the Xiao family and the Fu family clashed head-on, it would only aggravate their distrust of the royal family.

Since you can't force it, you can only show weakness.

"Did you call the police?" Prince Xiao asked.

The middle-aged man nodded in a daze and said, "The police station has already sent someone here."

Even if such a big thing happened, even if they didn't call the police, those people wouldn't ignore it.

Duke Xiao pondered for a moment with his eyes downcast, and said, "Take my post to the Zhang family to ask for an interview, and say that I, Xiao Yuntao, asked for Prime Minister Zhang. This matter must be explained to our Xiao family. And there is His Majesty...Princess, forget it... Let Min Ran go, and ask His Majesty to make the decision for us."

"Yes, my lord." The middle-aged man nodded in response, after thinking about it, he still asked, "Your lord, over there..."

Duke Xiao said, "It depends on whether he can survive."

From the beginning to the end, Duke Xiao didn't care about his daughter-in-law who received such bad news just after entering the door today, as if it was an insignificant matter at all.

In Zhang's Suya's study room, Zhang Bi finished reading the post and letter sent by Prince Xiaojun's mansion, shook his head with a smile, and handed the letter to Zhang Jingzhi who was standing beside him.

Zhang Jingzhi took it over and looked at it again, frowning slightly.

Zhang Bi asked, "What do you think?"

Zhang Jingzhi said, "Father also thinks that this matter was done by the Fu family?"

Zhang Bi laughed and said, "Except for Fu Zheng, who else? In this world... there is no one in this world who is so rude and directly likes to fight tit for tat, except Fu Zheng."

"So...the attack on Young Master Fu last year was really related to the Xiao family? What does the Duke of Xiao want to do?" Now that the royal family has given up power, they should live their lives in peace and prosperity to ensure safety. Xiao Yuntao's attack on the young marshals in the six southern provinces was simply asking for his own death and he didn't know why.

Fu Fengcheng is dead or disabled, what good does it do him?

Zhang Bi shook his head and said, "Decentralization of power...is easier said than done."

Zhang Jingzhi frowned, "Duke Xiao still wants... Xiao Haoran had a close relationship with Yu Chengyi's daughter a few days ago, I thought..."

Zhang Bi looked at his son and said, "What do you think? Do you think Xiao Haoran is just looking for sex?"

Zhang Jingzhi lowered her head slightly, adjusted her glasses and said a little ashamedly: "It's because I didn't think well."

"It's not that you are careless, you just think that Yu Chengyi's daughter looks down on Xiao Haoran and doesn't take it seriously." Zhang Bi said in a deep voice, "Jingzhi, you are not young, Fu Fengcheng is already married, and you also It's time to think about marriage. Whether it's Princess Chaoyang or a girl from the Yu family, I have no objection. What do you think?"

Zhang Jingzhi frowned slightly and said, "Father, I..."

"If you don't like it at all, I remember...the Liang family also has a little girl who just came back from abroad. You young people should be able to get along well, or let me ask for you?"

"Father..." Zhang Jingzhi felt helpless, "I don't want to think about marriage yet."

There was a moment of silence in the study, and after a while Zhang Bi said, "Father doesn't want to force you, but you should know... your marriage is not just your own business. You are the child I value most, but... the Zhang family is not only You are a son. Next year is very important to our Zhang family, once we lose... Jingzhi, you, the eldest son of the Zhang family, will no longer be the eldest son of the Zhang family."

Zhang Jingzhi was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, father, I will seriously consider it."

"As long as you understand, go out."

Zhang Jingzhi thought for a while, but still didn't move, "What does father plan to do about the matter of Prince Xiaojun's mansion?"

Zhang Bi laughed, "What can I do? Send people to the six southern provinces to arrest Fu Zheng and bring him to the capital to make amends? Xiao Yuntao himself knows that this is the only way he can do it, whether there is evidence or not. It’s just a disaster, just bring a gift and go see him later.”

Zhang Jingzhi nodded, suddenly looked at his father hesitantly as if remembering something.

"Speak up if you have something to say."

Zhang Jingzhi said, "Yunzhou is the territory of the Long family. Did my father want me to go to Yunzhou with Ms. Zhuo?"

Zhang Bi sighed and said, "You have stayed in the capital for too long. I got news that Zhuo Xuemei will soon be promoted to governor of Yanzhou. If you stay with her for a year, it will be justifiable for you to be promoted again when you come back."

Zhang Bi is very satisfied with this son, both in ability and skill, his only weakness is that he has been in the capital for too little experience and has no outstanding achievements.

But Zhang Bi was really worried about letting him go to other places, not because he was afraid that other governors would attack him, but because there were also many political enemies in the capital, and even the Zhang family members were very dangerous. Zhuo Lin is the only person he can rest assured and can really let Zhang Jingzhi display his abilities and talents. Even if he sent Zhang Jingzhi to other places, he would most likely be treated like a thief as a display.

It's a pity that before the words were spoken, Zhuo Lin rejected her. His school girl is still so smart, sharp and merciless.

"I let my father down." Zhang Jingzhi bowed his head.

Zhang Bi shook his head and said, "Sister Zhuo Xue refused to agree, it may not be because of you, she is a smart person, I'm afraid she doesn't want to get involved in these things."

In fact, Zhang Jingzhi was also a little curious about Ms. Zhuo Lin, but seeing that her father didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask any more questions, and retreated respectfully.
