Being a Lady of an Influential Family

The rebellion subsided, and the capital quickly returned to its original bustle and bustle.

Only the destroyed buildings on both sides of the streets in the city center make people unable to forget the fierce fighting that just happened here a few days ago. The order in the capital is back in operation, but those who have worked hard for this have retreated behind the scenes.

Both Fu Fengcheng and Long Yue said that they would thank guests behind closed doors and would return to the six southern provinces and the four northern provinces soon. Naturally, the dignitaries in the capital were very satisfied with this, and they generously praised the heroic deeds of the two young marshals on various occasions and in newspapers.

As a result, newspapers in the streets and alleys also published various deeds of Fu Dashao and Long Shao during the counter-insurgency period. Leng Sa asked people to buy a few copies and came back to read them, but they were not interested.

"If I read two more articles, I will think that these two are the gods of war." It was just a small rebellion, but it was a little difficult because of the shortage of troops.

Zhuo Lin was packing her things, and couldn't help laughing when she heard Leng Sa's complaints, "Your performance this time seems to satisfy those people, so naturally I don't mind saying a few more good things about you."

Leng Sa lay on the sofa and said lazily, "Just because we don't meddle in the affairs of the capital?"

Zhuo Lin said, "That's very important. The capital has always disliked meddling from the local government. This time, if you take the initiative to back down at such a good opportunity, those people may be relieved."

Leng Sa shook her head, "I don't understand."

Zhuo Lin said with a smile, "In the current situation in Anxia, ​​the military and the cabinet have already been unable to control the six southern provinces or the four northern provinces, but they are unwilling to let them hand over power by themselves. It is good to maintain the status quo Now, who knows what will happen in the future?"

Leng Sa held his chin and thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, it's only been less than thirty years and the world almost turned upside down again, who knows what will happen in the future?"

Zhuo Lin had already folded all the clothes and put them in the box, closed the box and said with a smile, "I'm going back tomorrow, don't you want to go home?"

Leng Sa nodded, "I really thought about it. I thought it would be over in two or three months, but I didn't expect it to be...almost half a year."

"Shall we leave like this? The cabinet, and... Zhang Xiang, Zhang Zuo hasn't been caught yet." Leng Sa said quietly.

Zhuo Lin smiled and said, "They can handle things with peace of mind when we leave. As for Zhang Zuo...he is dead or alive right now."

Leng Sa's eyes lit up, "Mom, do you think he has..."

Zhuo Lin smiled and said, "There are not a few people who want Zhang Zuo's life. Didn't Fengcheng bring back a bunch of materials about Zhang Zuo's organizations the day before yesterday, and you didn't ask him where he got them?"

Leng Sa said: "It is said that Xinyou gave it to him."

Zhuo Lin was thoughtful, and smiled, "That girl from the Yu family?"

Leng Sa nodded and said, "Yes, what does mother think of her?"

Zhuo Lin thought for a while, then said lightly, "If the girl is a man, or in better health, I'm afraid she is not an ordinary character."

"Mother has good eyesight." Even if Yu Xinyou is a girl, her body is still weak, so she is not an ordinary character. It's just that she didn't know how she got Zhang Zuo's information, and Fu Fengcheng refused to tell her.

"Young Madam, Miss Zhang and Miss Yu are here." Lan Jing reported at the door.

Zhuo Lin smiled and said, "Your friend is here, go down and have a look." Leng Sa hurriedly got up to say goodbye to Zhuo Lin, went out and went downstairs.

Zhang Huizhi and Yu Xinyou were sitting in the hall drinking tea. Zhang Huizhi looked a bit haggard, but both of them were in good spirits.

Obviously, this rebellion did not cause any harm to the two.

"Sa Sa." Seeing Leng Sa coming down, Zhang Huizhi got up and smiled.

Leng Sa waved her hand and said with a smile, "Huizhi, Xinyou, why are you here together?"

Zhang Huizhi said, "Didn't you say you're going back to Yongcheng tomorrow? I wanted to see you off, and I happened to meet Xinyou outside, so we came together."

Leng Sa looked at Yu Xinyou, "Is Xinyou okay these days?"

Yu Xinyou smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm sorry for worrying you." Leng Sa felt that after these few days, both Yu Xinyou and Zhang Huizhi had changed, and Zhang Huizhi, who was originally jumping off, became a little calmer , but Yu Xinyou, who was originally gentle and slightly gloomy, seemed much more cheerful, as if she had lost a burden that had been carried for a long time, and her whole person became relaxed and bright.

"It's fine." Seeing Yu Xinyou Leng Sa, he was also relieved.

The three sat in the lobby and chatted for a while, mainly talking about the affairs of the capital in the past two days.

Yu Chengyi is about to become the acting prime minister, while the original prime minister Zhang Bi is still temporarily imprisoned in a cell. Fortunately, Zhang Huizhi is not an unreasonable person, and there is nothing embarrassing about getting along with Yu Xinyou.

Although Zhang Zuo's whereabouts are still unknown and Zhang Bi is temporarily detained, many things are already under investigation. The matter between Zhang Bi and Zhang Zuo was not too involved, and because Zhang Jingzhi participated in the suppression of the rebellion, and the evidence issued by Zhuo Lin showed that Zhang Bi provided them with help. Although Zhang Bi has lost his power, his personal safety should not be a problem.

It's just that Zhang Huizhi will no longer be the prime minister's daughter, and the Zhang family's family background will also plummet. I'm afraid it will take some time to get used to it.

Zhang Huizhi told Leng Sa that she couldn't go to Yongcheng for the time being, and she wanted to stay and help her brother take care of the Zhang family and take care of her father. But after the Zhang family settled down, she would still visit the six southern provinces.

But Yu Xinyou also joined in the fun and laughed, "I also really want to visit the six southern provinces. I wonder if Sasha is welcome?"

Leng Sa was a little surprised, this is almost a surefire prime minister's daughter. Besides, he is not in good health. Will Minister Yu feel at ease when he goes to the southern six provinces?

"Of course, when Xinyou wants to come to the six southern provinces, I will sweep the couch and welcome her."

Yu Xinyou smiled and said, "Then it's settled."

"What's settled?" Xiao Yiran's voice came from outside the door, and Xiao Yiran and Fu Fengcheng walked in side by side.

Seeing Yu Xinyou and Zhang Huizhi sitting in the hall, Xiao Yiran greeted them with a smile, "Miss Zhang Si, Miss Yu, it's a pleasure to meet you." As before, his attitude has not changed because of the change of family status. .

"Third Prince."

Xiao Yiran sighed, "You two can just call me by my name, I'm not a prince anymore."

The royal family participated in Ren Nanyan's rebellion this time, it can be said that they didn't get any benefits, but instead caused a lot of trouble. Although it has not been said that the royal family will be abolished, the wind direction of the newspapers and the people in the past two days has not been very friendly to the royal family.

There are still a very small number of royalists who want to push Xiao Yiran who is right in the rebellion at this time, but Xiao Yiran refuses without hesitation. The third prince said that he didn't want to be the emperor, and when he came out of the palace a few days ago, he had already drawn a clear line with the royal family, so he voluntarily gave up the right of succession to the royal family, and no longer regarded himself as a prince in the future.

When Xiao Yiran talked about this matter before, his tone was very carefree. If he wasn't afraid of scaring people, he probably wished he could raise his head to the sky and roar three times on the street.

The position of the emperor is only interesting when it represents supreme authority. If it is to be a puppet and mascot, then it is better to be free and easy outside.

Xiao Yiran resolutely chose to betray the royal family at this time this time, although he still felt somewhat sorry for his father, but he never regretted it.

If he hadn't wanted to, he wouldn't have been with Fu Fengcheng for so many years. If Fu Fengcheng hadn't known that he had such thoughts, he would never have been with a prince with a sensitive identity for so many years.

Both Zhang Huizhi and Yu Xinyou came to say goodbye to Leng Sa in advance, and when they saw Xiao Yiran coming over, they naturally knew that there must be business, so they got up and said goodbye quickly without disturbing.

After the two left, the smile on Xiao Yiran's face gradually faded.

Sitting beside Fu Fengcheng, Leng Sa looked at Xiao Yiran's decadent expression curiously, "What's wrong? Wasn't it fine before? Could it be that someone scolded you?"

Xiao Yiran glanced at her and said, "I was indeed scolded."

Leng Sa blinked her eyes and said clearly, "Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yiran sighed, and leaned into the sofa weakly, and said: "What do you think he thinks? He doesn't seem to be very comfortable sitting in that seat in the palace, and even An... Sanbo doesn't care, why is he sticking around?"

The second prince disappeared with Ren Nanyan, and the emperor had no useful sons around him, so he was much more tolerant of Xiao Yiran, a son who disobeyed him.

It's a pity that Xiao Yiran couldn't chat with him, and the father and son broke up again.

Leng Sa said, "What do the cabinet and the military say?"

Xiao Yiran shrugged and said, "For the time being, there should be nothing to say. The cabinet and the military department just want to calm people's hearts. But it's hard to say later. It's okay if the second brother doesn't show up in the future. If something happens again, the third uncle won't Don't worry about this crap anymore. I don't know what the future holds."

Leng Sa looked at Xiao Yiran, "Then what are your plans?"

Xiao Yiran said, "I plan to go abroad for a while, and come back after two years."

Leng Sa turned to look at Fu Fengcheng, Fu Fengcheng nodded, indicating that he had known Xiao Yiran's decision in advance.

Leng Sa thought about it, it seems that going abroad is Xiao Yiran's best choice now. After a few years, many problems may be solved. If Xiao Yiran still stays in the capital, he will definitely be in a dilemma and become the person in the most difficult situation.

"Then I wish... Young Master Xiao all the best?"

Xiao Yiran shook her teacup and said with a smile, "Thank you. By the way, that girl of yours..."

Leng Sa froze for a moment before realizing that he was talking about Leng Mingshu, a little curious, "What's wrong with Leng Mingshu?"

Xiao Yiran said, "She stabbed Xiao Haoran."

"What?" Leng Sa was taken aback, and Xiao Yiran smiled, "I said, she stabbed Xiao Haoran. She really deserves to be my sister-in-law's cousin, if she doesn't make a move, it's amazing."

"What's going on?" Leng Sa was either talking with Zhuo Lin these two days, or dealing with matters before leaving Beijing. She was so busy that she still had time to take care of the matters of Leng's family.

Xiao Yiran rubbed his chin and shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems that they had a conflict with Xiao Haoran for some reason. Aren't they temporarily locked up in the palace with my father...our old man? There are people guarding outside Go in and out casually, and when you hear the sound, you will see her stabbing someone. Xiao Haoran has a lot of life, but no matter how big his life is, he will not live for a few years after going through so many tosses."

Leng Sa didn't expect Leng Mingshu to dare to do such a thing, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xiao Yiran said, "Don't meddle in this matter, don't worry, what the Xiao family is most afraid of now is attracting attention, Xiao Haoran has long since been abolished, Xiao County King himself didn't pay much attention to it. If Mrs. Leng really wants to save his granddaughter , it shouldn’t take much trouble. If he doesn’t care about himself, what do you care about them?”

Of course, Leng Sa is not such a nosy person, she nodded and said, "This time the matter is over, should the old man calm down?"

Xiao Yiran smiled gloatingly, "Leng Yan's death in Naga may be a good thing for the Leng family, otherwise the Leng family would have to be involved again this time. The Leng family has long since failed. Our old man, Zhang Zuo, Ren Nanyan They don't even look down on them, they can only be regarded as Xiao Xiami who is attached to the Xiao family. If the Xiao family can escape, they should not have any major problems. But... in the future, the Leng family line may not be able to get up gone."

The Second Master Leng's family has already been adopted out, even if Leng Sa's younger brother Leng Feng is promising in the future, it has nothing to do with the Old Master Leng's branch.

So, no matter how thoughtful this person is, he still won't succeed.

Leng Sa nodded, "Okay, I see. The old man also has a lot of old friends in the capital. If he really wants to get Leng Mingshu out of the Xiao family, it really shouldn't be a big problem." If the old man still refuses to save people now , then there is no need for her to intervene.

The next morning, the Fu family finally boarded the train back to Yongcheng.

Naturally, many people came to see them off when they left Beijing. The train station platform was crowded with people who came to see them off. It was almost impossible to tell that there had been a big battle here a few days ago and many people had died.

The two bid farewell to the people who were seeing them off one by one, and then boarded the train with them. Amidst the long whistle, the train slowly started and drove out of the station.

Leng Sa sat by the car window, looking at the station platform that was getting farther and farther behind, and finally let out a long breath.

Zhuo Lin was sitting on the single sofa on the other side reading a book, and when she heard her voice, she raised her head and smiled, "What's the matter?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "I feel relieved when I see the car driving out. I feel much more relaxed all of a sudden. There is always a feeling that... as long as you haven't left the capital, something will happen anytime and anywhere."

Zhuo Lin smiled and said, "I guess the person who came to see you off has the same idea as you." One was in a hurry to leave, and the other was in a hurry to see the other off, didn't they hit it off right away?

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Yeah, it's disgusting to see each other, it's better for everyone to part ways early. Let the people in the capital to toss about things in the capital, we won't accompany you. We are going home!"

Zhuo Lin looked at her with a smile and said, "It's time for children to be homesick."

There were two knocks on the door, Leng Sa looked back, "Come in."

The door was pushed open from the outside, Xiao Zhu stood outside the door with a smile and said, "Who is Arlene talking about as a child?"

Leng Sa blinked her eyes, looked at the middle-aged man in front of Yushu Linfeng, "An...Prince An? Why are you here?" How could she not know when Prince An got into the car?

Xiao Zhu said with a smile, "I'm not Prince An anymore, so I can go anywhere in the future. I heard that everyone is going south today, so I took a car with you, Mrs. Fu, don't you mind?"

Leng Sa laughed quickly, "Of course I don't mind, Wang... uh, Mr. Xiao, you don't have to be polite." I haven't seen you for a few days, and Lord Leng thinks that the former emperor, the former Prince An, seems more handsome again.

Maybe it's because he really has nothing to do, or because of a change of environment, the faint lonely and desolate temperament in the courtyard of the deep house is much less, and it is more free and easy.

As expected of a man who can easily give up the throne, he really is not an ordinary character.

Leng Sa looked at Zhuo Lin beside her, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her heart, and she fixed her gaze on Xiao Zhu in front of her.

Even if they are not restrained, why do they have to take their car to go to the six southern provinces if they can't go anywhere in the world? She didn't think Xiao Zhu had a good relationship with Governor Fu.

Xiao Zhu looked at Leng Sa very kindly and said, "I'm friends with Arlene, if Mrs. Fu doesn't mind it, just call me uncle."

"..." Leng Sa wasn't sure whether he should call this uncle, and somehow felt like luring a wolf into the house.

But looking at the man in front of him with an elegant smile, a modest and dignified gentleman like the wind.

In the end, under someone's gentle smile, Master Leng still called out, "Uncle, don't call me Mrs. Fu, just call me by my name."

Xiao Zhu nodded, "Sa Sa is a good name."

"..." It's a bit too much for the old man to be so flirtatious.

Zhuo Lin sat on the sofa, looked at Xiao Zhu and frowned slightly, "Is it okay for you to leave the capital at this time?"

Xiao Zhu said with a smile, "What's the problem? Those people might want me to leave quickly."

Zhuo Lin said, "I mean, is there any danger for you to leave Beijing so rashly?" Even if Xiao Zhu himself gave up his royal status, how could it be safer for some people to have a dead person? The original Prince An's Mansion was a shackle to Xiao Zhu, but it was also a kind of protection.

Xiao Zhu smiled and said, "So, I have to find an umbrella to hide from. Arlene, you won't dislike me, right? I don't know if you need a consultant? I think I can still do it."

"..." Oh, this guy really seems to be serious about becoming Young Master Fu's stepfather.

When Fu Fengcheng came in, he saw Zhuo Lin and Xiao Zhu sitting in the carriage chatting, Leng Sa was holding a book and sitting on the sofa by the window in a daze, the atmosphere in the carriage seemed strangely harmonious.

Seeing First Young Master Fu walking in, Xiao Zhu was also very calm, "Young Master Fu."

"Mr. Xiao." Fu Fengcheng nodded slightly, apparently not surprised. Xiao Zhu wanted to get in the car, how could he succeed without Fu Fengcheng's consent?

Leng Sa smiled and waved to Fu Fengcheng, Fu Fengcheng came to her and sat down, holding her hand and said to Zhuo Lin, "Mother, are you still used to the car?"

Zhuo Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, I used to run around a lot, what's wrong with that? But you, don't be too busy in the car, you haven't had a good rest during this time, right?"

Fu Fengcheng nodded to accept the concern from his mother, and after a few days of getting along, the mother and son became more and more natural. This may be the nature of mother and child. Both of them are clearly not easy to get along with others, but they can naturally accept everything about each other and live in harmony.

With Fu Fengcheng joining, the three continued to discuss some serious matters that Leng Sa was not very interested in.

Leng Sa leaned on Fu Fengcheng's shoulder to listen, but she began to feel drowsy after listening, and finally fell asleep in Fu Fengcheng's arms.

In my sleep, there were also the sound of the train slamming and gentle conversations, which made people feel extra reassuring.
