Being a Lady of an Influential Family

The sudden arrival of First Young Master Fu made the already tense atmosphere in the hall even more stagnant, and Leng Bin, who was sitting in the most inconspicuous corner, was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was at a loss what to do.

Fu Fengcheng stood behind Leng Sa, leaned slightly and looked at the old Mrs. Leng who was sitting opposite, "What did Mrs. Leng want to say just now?"

"Fu...Young Master Fu." After a moment of hesitation, Mrs. Leng still didn't call out another name by relying on his old age. It's just that his face was a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "Young Master Fu, what does this mean?"

Fu Fengcheng laughed softly, stood up, walked to Leng Sa and sat down, "Shouldn't I ask Mrs. Leng what he meant? I don't know if the Leng family is ready to accept the consequences when they came to insult my wife Fu Fengcheng in the morning. Prepare?"

The old man Leng was a little annoyed for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Her surname is Leng!"

Fu Fengcheng said indifferently: "Her surname Leng seems to have nothing to do with Mrs. Leng. Is it possible that people with the surname Leng in the world should bow their heads and obey you?"

Fu Fengcheng didn't say that she was from the Fu family now, even if she married into the Fu family, Leng Sa was still Leng Sa, and the young wife of the Fu family was called Leng Sa, not Fu Leng's.

But the difference between Leng Sa's coldness and Mrs. Leng's coldness is a bit too much.

Ever since Mrs. Leng adopted the second wife out, in the current Anxia, ​​regardless of legal principles, the second wife of the Leng family has nothing to do with Mrs. Leng's family. If the elders on Erfang's side were still alive and had a conflict with Mrs. Leng today, Erfang must also stand on that side.

And all of this was the old man Leng's own choice, and he had nothing to complain about.

Old Master Leng's lips trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I am here today to ask Mrs. Fu something important!" Mrs. Fu said those words with gnashing of teeth.

Fu Fengcheng turned his head to look at Leng Sa, who lowered his head and said the word Leng Yan.

Fu Fengcheng looked at the old lady Leng with more indifferent eyes, "Coincidentally, we also have something to ask the old lady Leng."

The Elder Master and the Third Master and his wife who were sitting next to each other were a little terrified watching the two people's back-and-forth conversations, and now they heard Fu Fengcheng's tone even more frightened.

The third master said tremblingly, "Young master Fu, father, why don't we go out and wait?"

The old lady Leng's face was cold, but Leng Sa chuckled and said, "Please go to the side hall for tea."

The housekeeper who was waiting for orders immediately stepped forward and respectfully and politely invited them to drink tea on the other side.

Old Master Leng said in a deep voice, "Bin'er stay here."

Leng Bin, who was about to follow the others to leave, froze for a moment, then turned around silently and sat down again.

Looking at his appearance, Leng Sa felt that Mrs. Leng was really cheating on his grandson.

Unlike Leng Yan, who received all kinds of elite education since he was a child, Leng Bin was no different from the other children of the Leng family. He went to a private school when he was a child, and he barely went to middle school until he was a teenager when he grew up.

Wasn't it a scam for someone who was originally restricted by Mrs. Leng to be thrown into this dangerous and unpredictable circle?

There were only four people left in the hall. Old Master Leng looked at Fu Fengcheng warily, and said coldly, "What does Young Master Fu want to ask?"

Fu Fengcheng was also polite, "Is there anything the Leng family needs to explain about arms smuggling?"

Old Master Leng's complexion changed, and he said sharply, "Yan'er has been killed, Fu Shaoxiu wants to spit out blood!" Selling arms in this day and age is a big deal. Some people can do it casually, and some people do it as a crime of beheading.

Fu Fengcheng leaned on the sofa, with one arm pillowed behind Leng Sa, and said calmly, "Blood?"

Old Master Leng collected himself, "Isn't it?"

Fu Fengcheng thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "That's what you say."

"..." The old master Leng was choking on the words he had prepared to argue in his belly. What kind of answer is this?

Leng Sa looked at the depressed expression of the old lady Leng and couldn't help laughing secretly, and said lightly, "Old lady, do you still not regret your original decision?"

Old Master Leng's face changed slightly, and he looked sideways at Leng Sa.

Leng Sa sighed lightly and said, "Leng Yan is dead, now... who else can support the future of the Leng family? Now everyone is looking at His Royal Highness Prince An's face, as long as you don't go out of line, no one will care about you, but ...Once you are gone, have you thought about what will happen to the Leng family? Also... How long has it been since you saw Prince An?"

The last sentence made old master Leng's heart skip a beat, and he suddenly remembered that he had indeed not seen Prince An for a long time.

At first, he didn't care too much. After all, Prince An almost never leaves home all year round, so it is unlikely that he made a special trip to visit him as a teacher.

But... they lived together in the capital, and the distance between the two families was less than half an hour's walk, yet they hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. Is it a little too unusual? Even on his birthday not long ago, Prince An only sent someone to send him a gift.

Seeing Mrs. Leng's dazed expression, Leng Sa shook her head and said, "You are already at this age, what exactly are you trying to do all these years?"

Leng Sa really doesn't understand the old man Leng. As a person of the previous era, even if he failed to seize the opportunity of the new era, he is already the pinnacle of the literati of the old era.

Such a person either advances bravely or retreats here, but he has fallen from the former master of Emperor Huanghuang to the point where he is driven by conspiracy and schemes. If he is loyal to Prince An for doing all this, even if it is for the royal family, he can still say that he is loyal to the old master, but...he does not know if the people behind the Leng family are the royal family, at least it is definitely not Prince An.

Judging from Prince An's attitude, Leng Sa didn't think it would be the royal family.

"What do you know?!" The old master Leng finally got a little angry, and gritted his teeth sharply.

Leng Sa nodded and said, "I really don't understand, but I hope the old man will think about what I said just now. Leng Yan is dead, but you still have other children and grandchildren, leave them a way out."

There was no way to talk about it later, the old master Leng was about to get angry, and in the end he had to be supported by Leng Bin and took him away panting.

Seeing their leaving backs, Leng Sa pondered for a moment and said to Fu Fengcheng, "Let someone get in touch with Leng Bin."

Fu Fengcheng shook his head, "He can't." In the eyes of Young Master Fu, Leng Yan was already ordinary, and Leng Bin was completely unattractive.

Leng Sa smiled lightly, "Don't underestimate people's desire to survive. He has not received any good education. It is too late for the old master Leng to make amends now. But it doesn't mean that he can't see clearly what the Leng family is going. What kind of road."

Fu Fengcheng thought about it for a while without objecting, nodded and said, "I will let people follow up."

"Why are you back now?" Putting aside the unpleasant topic, Leng Sa looked at Fu Fengcheng and asked curiously.

Fu Fengcheng said, "Dragon Governor and Governor Song are here. The cabinet and military are meeting in the political hall, so I'll be back first."

This kind of large-scale meeting basically can't talk about anything famous, and Mr. Fu was not interested in sitting there and listening to people's nonsense, so he left first. To really decide on some important things, it depends on how these giants plan in private.

"Ah, the capital is going to be lively these few days." Leng Sa said enthusiastically.

Fu Fengcheng nodded and said, "It's really lively, this year happens to be the reelection of the cabinet."

Leng Sa blinked, and finally remembered what she had forgotten. Isn't that right? This year is the year of the cabinet reelection, which is usually held in September, but those who want to run for the election may have started preparing since the beginning of the year or even last year.

Leng Sa was suddenly curious, "By the way, the warlord..."

Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "There is no precedent for An Xia's military election in these years." Leng Sa thought about it, and this is actually quite understandable.

Now all the local power and the military are controlled by the military. If the cabinet is controlled by them, how can those literati, aristocratic families and politicians who have a lot of resources feel at ease? This is also the product of some kind of compromise.

Theoretically, warlords from all over the country are eligible to participate in the election, but everyone tacitly did not try to break this balance.

But this kind of compromise seems to be solid, but its foundation is not solid. It is entirely based on the current premise that all parties are restrained and no one is sure that they can defeat all opponents.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing wrong with us?" Leng Sa smiled, since Governor Fu didn't mean that, they naturally don't need to disturb these things, just watch the show outside the venue.

Fu Fengcheng nodded and said, "That's right, so if someone comes to visit Madam these days, it doesn't matter if Madam likes it or not."

Leng Sa nodded and said, "Understood."

The atmosphere in the political hall at this time seemed a bit tense. Hundreds of people were bustling in the spacious hall, but everyone's eyes fell on the group of people in the front.

The first few rows of conference tables arranged in an arc around the rostrum were divided into two. One side is wearing a uniform to make the stars shine, and the other side is wearing a suit and leather shoes, or a brocade gown, which is very distinct.

Of course, this does not mean that everyone is in the same group when they sit together. For example, right now, Sun Liang is attacking Governor Fu.

As for the content of the complaint, it is nothing more than the fact that the eldest son of the Fu family abolished Sun Rui. The others are actually a little careless about it, thinking that it would be detrimental to the military's face to bring such a shitty matter of Sun Liang to the meeting. , Let the literati on the opposite side read their jokes.

The man sitting next to Dujun Fu was tall and thin, and his facial features were particularly sharp because of the depth, and he seemed to have some foreign blood. This person is none other than Song Ye, the Northwest Governor.

At this time, Governor Song was turning his head and smiling at Governor Fu, "What is wrong with his son in Fengcheng?"

Governor Fu rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "I'm full! Don't make it sound like your A-Lang has no share."

Song Ye shrugged and said, "It can't be helped. Our family, Alang, doesn't have as much presence as your family's Fengcheng. You see, there are at least a few fights a year. When they arrive in the capital, they still go straight to Fu's house."

"..." If you want to say that my son is hated, just say so.

Song Ye glanced impatiently at Sun Liang, who was still full of righteous indignation, and said, "I think he is also full, and he really thinks that those literati can stand on the side of the Sun family to help him seek justice? Zhang Bi and those people are not stupid, just Sun Liang's head, if you pinch ten of them in the capital, it's not enough for Zhang Bi to play with."

In terms of intrigue, these warriors really may not be able to play with those literati.

Governor Fu said, "It's hard to say. Whether Zhang Bi can be re-elected this year remains to be seen. It's not yet clear who Sun Liang plans to bet on, but it should not be Zhang Bi."

Governor Liang, who was sitting on the other side, crossed Song Ye and whispered to the two of them, "I heard that both Yu Chengyi and Duan Yulin plan to run for election this year."

Song Ye nodded and said, "There is such a thing. Where did Duan Yulin's call go to me a while ago? What's wrong? No one is looking for you?"

Governor Fu slightly raised his eyebrows and glanced at Song Ye, "Yu Chengyi looked for me."

Song Ye smiled and said, "I heard that Yu Chengyi's second lady has a good relationship with your daughter-in-law?"

Governor Fu glanced at him, "Zhang Bi's daughter-in-law has a better relationship with my daughter-in-law. By the way, I heard that your family's A-Lang has a good relationship with the eldest daughter-in-law." We have invested in starting a business together, so the relationship is not good. what?

Song Ye rubbed his chin and said with a smile, "Young people now think differently than we did back then. Let's see. I guess our generation has no hope. Let's see them." They didn't have much when they were young. Hello, hello, hello everyone, the competition for turf grabbing is who is faster and more ruthless, basically just start fighting when there is a disagreement.

"I said, can you say a few words less? It's a meeting." The Dragon Governor on the other side finally seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and said.

Is there anything that cannot be discussed after the meeting and must be discussed now?

Governor Fu didn't look at him at all, turned his head to Governor Song and said, "The most intolerable thing about this broken society is this idiot's ranking, next time you will change with me?"

"..."

Not only the warlords were bored, but the young commanders sitting in the back row were even more bored.

Zhang Jingzhi, as an official, is taking part-time minutes of the meeting, and he has something to do. The young marshals are really just watching, and they can't get in the way of this kind of meeting.

Song Lang yawned and said, "Brother Fu is smarter, if I had known it would be so boring, I wouldn't have come."

Shen Sinian laughed, "Brother Song is not the first time to attend this kind of meeting, don't you know this meeting is boring?"

Song Lang nodded and said, "Indeed, but this time it's very boring. Sun Liang is old and has something wrong with his brain, right? The military department hasn't troubled the Sun family yet, but he danced happily."

Long Yue turned his head and said to the two, "The Sun family has soldiers, guns and territory in their hands. Even if he dances happily, he can only bear it." Anyway, the Long family really has nothing to do with the Sun family, after all, they are too far away. Far away, even if the Long family wants to do something, they have to look at the few houses in the middle and they will definitely not let them pass. The same is true for the Fu family.

But if the Shen, Song and Liang families were to carve up the Sun family, would the others be willing? This is still a problem.

Of course, if Sun Liang killed himself, he couldn't blame others.

Of course, the others also understood this truth. Song Lang snorted softly and stood up and said, "I'll go out to smoke a cigarette, you can do whatever you want."

Shen Sinian also stood up, and said with a smile, "I'll go out to catch my breath."

Watching the two go out, Long Yue raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

Lou Lanzhou next to him asked, "Young Master Long really thinks so?"

Long Yue looked at Lou Lanzhou, "What does Lou Shao mean?"

Lou Lanzhou said, "The Sun family...treason is a felony, can Du Jun really tolerate it?" What Sun Rui did in collusion with the Nile people is not an exaggeration to say that it is treason. In particular, the border between the Sun family and Nile makes people have to be vigilant.

Long Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is this what Old General Lou meant?"

Lou Lanzhou smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's just that I think about it casually."

Long Yue said, "Young Master Lou is very thoughtful, but this kind of thing... we can't be the masters, can we?"

"Master Long is right." Lou Lanzhou smiled.

When everyone came out of the political hall at noon, Sun Liang's face was particularly ugly. Obviously, his attacks on the Fu family at the meeting did not allow him to occupy the high ground of public opinion. The flattery of young master Fu and the ignorance of Sun Rui in the newspapers in the past few days have clearly shown what people want.

No matter what his own strength is, even Sun Liang, who is talking about it, may not be the opponent of Governor Fu.

Governor Fu was walking out talking and laughing with Governor Song and Governor Liang. Sun Liang walked quickly past them with a gloomy face. The moment he passed by, Sun Liang still glared at Governor Fu sullenly. With a glance, "Fu Zheng, let's wait and see."

Looking at the back of Sun Liang leaving, Governor Fu touched his forehead, "Is he mad with anger?"

Song Ye smiled and said, "Even if you're not crazy, it shouldn't be too far away, right?" Doesn't Sun Liang look like a mad dog now?

Governor Fu sighed and said, "Don't put too much pressure on him, the key is... you put pressure on him and he sprayed all the labor and management, is this appropriate?"

Song Ye spread his hands and said, "This has nothing to do with me, you can talk to Lao Shen."

"Hehe." I believed your evil!

The three walked out of the gate, just in time to meet Zhuo Lin who came out from the other gate.

Zhuo Lin and Zhang Bi were walking out side by side, and they were still discussing something while walking. The two sides couldn't help but pause when they met, and soon Zhuo Lin nodded towards them as a greeting, and then walked out with Zhang Bi.

Governor Fu glared at the backs of the two of them viciously, but unfortunately, the two quickly disappeared into the crowd that went out together.

As one of the very few people who knew about these two back then, Song Ye couldn't help laughing and shaking his head when he saw Governor Fu's appearance, "What? Are you still making trouble?"

Governor Fu said angrily, "Who messed with her!"

Song Ye didn't take it seriously, and said, "Okay, let's find a place to have a drink?"

Song Dujun himself is also the master of a group of wives and concubines, but he has never had such troubles as Fu Zheng.

In fact, Dujun Song didn't understand why Fu Zheng was asking for trouble for himself. Obviously, everyone was a wandering buddy, but Dujun Fu insisted on giving him all his true love. True love is true love. If you can persist for a lifetime, it can be regarded as a good talk. In the end, you messed up, and you still can’t let go of it.

This is up and down, isn't it just finding something for yourself? That is to say, not many people know about these things, otherwise Governor Fu would be disgusted to death by those young women who claim to pursue independence and freedom.

"Go!" Governor Fu nodded.
