Being a Lady of an Influential Family

"Yue'er, what did you want to say just now?" Old Master Leng asked Leng Sa after seeing off the Fu family. Leng Sa looked up at him calmly, and asked softly, "Grandfather, is it okay to retire the engagement?"

"Bang!" The crutch in the old master Leng's hand hit the ground heavily, both the first master Leng and the second master Leng couldn't help shaking, but Leng Sa was surprisingly calm. The old lady Leng looked at her, "Do you know what you are talking about!" Leng Sa nodded, "I know, even though it's not nice to divorce now, it's not our Leng family's fault. It's not as strict as before, At least..." At least no one will be forced to die because of retiring the engagement, unless they can't think about it and don't want to live anymore.

Even most families would not do this. The daughter whose marriage is now forced to death will not make people feel that the family rules are strict, but will only make people think that the family is unkind and trying to gain fame.

The old man Leng sneered, "Just think it's not your fault? It's not as strict as before... That's an ordinary family! Go ask, is that rich family willing to marry a girl whose engagement has been divorced? And your sisters and sisters , Your eldest sister and second sister have just been married for a few years, so you ask them how they are doing in their in-laws’ house? And your younger sisters and nieces! Don’t think that you will be able to improve your skills if you study for a few more years. "

"What does grandfather mean?"

There was silence in the hall for a while, and then the old man Leng said in a deep voice: "Just now Governor Fu said..."

"Old man!" Second Madam Leng couldn't help standing up, "This is not acceptable! The young master of the Fu family..." The Second Madam was always a little afraid of this father-in-law, but she had to stand up for her daughter. The old lady Leng glanced at her, "You are a woman, what are you talking about?"

Second Madam Leng's heart felt sour, her daughter is not qualified to say a word? It is said that this is a new era, but in the Leng family, there is no difference, it is still the old master Leng's words. If Yue'er hadn't been engaged to the fourth young master of the Fu family early on, Old Master Leng would probably not have let her go to school. Even going to school was something that Yue'er had worked so hard to get from the old man. The choice is also the college that the old lady Leng thinks women should study, not the college that Yue'er likes.

Leng Mingyue next to him lightly held the second lady's hand and patted her lightly to signal her not to worry. The second master looked at the old lady Leng with a serious expression, "Father, this is not appropriate. The Fu family is not particular about things, so we should Then... how can there be any reason to hire a younger brother but marry an older brother? It's too ugly to spread it."

"Does it sound good to be divorced? Has anyone read the engagement letter except Fu Leng's family?"

"..." Who needs to see this with their own eyes? Isn't the marriage between the fourth young master of the Fu family and the third young lady of the Leng family already spread all over Yongcheng? What does the old man mean, if you don't admit it, then it's okay? If they don't admit it, will the people in Yongcheng forget it?

Leng Sa lowered her eyes and said, "I understand what grandfather means."

The old lady Leng's expression softened slightly, "It's good that you understand, grandpa is doing this for your own good. As Governor Fu said, after two years this matter is over... Whatever you want to do is fine, even if you leave Fu's house after you leave I won't be without support for half my life."

Leng Sa smiled, "Grandfather, originally the Leng family could get out of this matter cleanly, but Fu Si's shamelessness is his business, what does it have to do with the Leng family? You get involved like this... In another twenty years Everyone in Nianyong City will remember that the third miss of the Leng family was divorced by the Fu family, and she had the audacity to marry the crippled young master."

"Of course I will take care of this matter for you, and I won't let the dirty water splash on you." Old Master Leng said.

Leng Sa shook her head, "As my grandfather said, people in the world are ignorant, so who cares about your difficulties? They will just treat it as an anecdote that has been passed down in Yongcheng for decades."

The old lady Leng stared at Leng Sa, "What do you want? If you want to get divorced, I advise you to give up on it as soon as possible. The Leng family must not have a daughter who has been divorced, or the four of you will get out of the Leng family together!" "

"Father?!" Master Leng looked at his father with a pale face, he didn't expect his father to say such words.

Leng Sa nodded, "It's not that the Leng family can't have a daughter who was divorced, but they can't lose the in-laws of the Fu family."

The cloudy eyes of the old man Leng suddenly became icy cold, just like the expression on his face.

"The Leng family has raised you for so many years, I don't ask you to do anything for the Leng family, at least...you can't drag the Leng family back. Second child, do you understand?"

The second master Leng was sweating profusely, and begged with a pale face, "Father, this matter can't be done... Isn't this ruining Yue'er's life?"

Old Master Leng said coldly: "What ruined a lifetime? In two years, if she is sent to the capital or abroad, she will be able to get married and have children. The boss of the Fu family can't do anything like that now. What do you have to worry about? This will ruin a lifetime , so what are those girls who were sent to the palace for the sake of their families in the early years and were not favored and died in the deep palace?"

Master Leng looked at his father in a daze. He has no great skills and has been honest for half his life. Be it as a husband, as a son or as a father. My father always said how their family was in Leng's family, and how good a scholar was, but what was his father talking about now?

Leng Sa looked sympathetically at her father, whose three views were obviously broken, and sighed softly, "Since grandpa has already made a decision, I seem to have to obey."

"Yue'er?!" The second master Leng and the second wife exclaimed in surprise.

The expressions of the old lady Leng and the old man next to him softened immediately, and the old man smiled and said, "Yue'er is still sensible, it was really not in vain when my father sent you to university."

The second master Leng looked anxiously at Leng Sa: "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense, let's..."

"Shut up!" Old Master Leng interrupted his son in a cold voice, "Do you want to deny your father, your brothers and nephews, and take your whole family out of Leng's house?"

Master Leng was speechless for a moment, if he really did this, their family would not be able to stay in Yongcheng at all. Now this world is not peaceful, if you drag your whole family away from home, what will you do with your twelve-year-old son and frail wife?

"Father..." Master Leng looked at his father imploringly.

"Father, don't worry, I'm quite aware of this matter." Leng Sa said and looked at the old man Leng, smiling, "Grandfather, since I agreed, then... let's talk about the terms next."

The hall was silent.

"You want to...negotiate terms with me?" Old Master Leng looked at Leng Mingyue. This granddaughter was outstanding in appearance and brains among the girls of the Leng family, but Old Master Leng had never liked her very much.

He didn't remember clearly when he was a child, but when he grew up, Leng Mingyue's respectful appearance always gave Mr. Leng a sense of alienation, indifference or indifference. This made the old man Leng, who was used to being superior and arbitrary, very uncomfortable. If Mrs. Fu hadn't taken a fancy to this girl's birthday so that she could get engaged to Fourth Young Master Fu, Mrs. Leng would never have allowed her to go to school, and she would have been married off early.

Now, this girl actually said that she wanted to negotiate terms with him? !

Leng Sa pulled the corner of her lower lip slightly, "I sacrificed my reputation and youth to marry into Fu's family, but let others get all the benefits. Shouldn't we discuss terms?"
