Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 258, frail and sickly
Leng Sa just walked out of Fu Yucheng and Zheng Ying's yard when he saw Fu Anyan and Gong Sihe standing not far away.
There was a moment of confusion in her heart. She stayed in the yard for a while and watched Zheng Ying's child before she came out. No matter how slow the two of them walked, they should have already gone out. Why are they still here?
The next moment, I saw two people in the shadows on the other side, it was Xu Shaoming and Fu Fengcheng in a wheelchair.
Leng Sa strolled over to see that Fu Anyan's face was very ugly. Gong Sihe stood behind Fu Anyan and seemed to be trying his best to reduce his presence.
This is also the reason why Leng Sa can clearly feel the change in Gong Sihe's attitude. Although there were many rumors in the Fu family before, Gong Sihe didn't really do anything to seduce Fu Fengcheng. Therefore, Leng Sa still has some appreciation for Gong Sihe. After all, whoever likes it is sometimes not in everyone's control, but what he does or not can be controlled by himself.
Even if Gong Sihe really likes Fu Fengcheng, as long as she doesn't do anything outrageous, no one has the right to say anything about her.
Recently, Gong Sihe's performance is more obvious. It's not that she wants to get closer to Fu Fengcheng, but it is obvious that she can feel Gong Sihe deliberately lowering her presence in front of Fu Fengcheng.
This happened almost at the same time when she was close to Fu Yucheng, so Leng Sa couldn't help but wonder, does Gong Sihe really like Fu Fengcheng?
Hearing the footsteps, Fu Fengcheng turned his head to look at Leng Sa. When she saw her, her originally cold eyes softened a bit, "Mrs. Hard work tonight."
Leng Sa waved his hand and looked at the four people with some doubts, "What are you doing here? Are you still not resting so late?"
Xu Shaoming said, "Mrs. Young Master, Young Master is here to pick you up. I just met Miss San here."
Fu Anyan rushed out from the inside with a face full of anger. Seeing Fu Fengcheng, he naturally stepped forward to complain about Leng Sa's various behaviors without hesitation. It's a pity that she found the wrong person and complained to the young master against the young lady, which would only cause the third young lady's fragile heart to suffer an unprecedented blow.
"I see." Leng Sa glanced at Fu Anyan with a half-smile, "What did the third sister tell you about me?"
Fu Fengcheng said indifferently, "It's nothing, it's all nonsense." Glancing at Fu Anyan, he said coldly, "You should go back."
"You!" Fu Anyan's face was pale in the dim firelight, looking a little scary.
Just looking at the three people on the opposite side, and then looking at the two on my side, there is really no chance of winning, Fu Anyan can only snort coldly, turn around and walk away.
Fu Fengcheng naturally wouldn't go to see his newborn niece at this time, and turned around and went back to the room with Leng Sa.
After the whole day today, Leng Sa is really tired. Now I just want to lie down on the bed and sleep soundly.
Leng Sa was so tired that he slept in bed, and it was almost noon when he woke up the next day. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock on the wall, the hands already pointed to half past ten.
"Awake?" Fu Fengcheng's voice came from beside him, Leng Sa turned his head and saw Fu Fengcheng sitting neatly by the bed reading a book.
Leng Sa sat up from the bed and stretched, "It's so late? Why are you still here?"
Fu Fengcheng put the book aside and raised his eyebrows, "I'm like this, where can I be if I'm not here?"
Leng Sa glanced at his leg and said, "If you have nothing to do, just go and do your business." Although it was still a long way from walking, the wound from the surgery was at least half healed. Fu Dashao is no different from before, and there is still some time before the official start of rehabilitation treatment. Isn't it a good time to work hard and work overtime?
Fu Fengcheng didn't refute, just said: "Get up when you wake up, don't you want to see the newborn baby last night?"
Leng Sa said with some disgust, "It's wrinkled, what's so good about it." Last night, she also took a look at the child before leaving. She was a small, red, and wrinkled face. The ground is not pretty at all.
The second young lady said that because Zheng Ying was not well conceived and was born prematurely, the child was much smaller than an ordinary baby. The doctor also said that they should be raised carefully, maybe they will grow up to be the same as ordinary children, otherwise they may be weak and sick all their lives in the future, and even affect their life expectancy.
Fu Fengcheng was a little surprised, "You watched all day last night, and I thought you liked children." Fu Fengcheng had seen newborn babies, and was not surprised by the appearance described by Leng Sa.
Leng Sa yawned and said, "I like cute and cute little ones, but I don't like bear children. Newborn babies...the main reason is that they are too fragile, so it's safer to stay away."
Fu Fengcheng looked at her and said, "If it was Madam's own child, would Madam despise her for being ugly and fragile?"
Leng Sa was stunned for a while, and suddenly stared at Fu Fengcheng vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" Don't tell her that the surnamed Fu wants to have a child or something.
This dog man didn't even say he liked her, okay? They're now at best... uh, living with company? fall in love? Raw rice undercooked? Or husband and wife?
Fu Fengcheng saw her look on guard, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. Shaking his head innocently, "Nothing, just ask casually."
"Oh." Leng Sa heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed for a while, but he seriously considered Fu Fengcheng's question and said, "I don't know, maybe I like it. Anyway... no one dares to be with me. There is a bear under his hand. Otherwise, Master Leng will beat him for three meals!"
Fu Fengcheng remembered Leng Feng, who was in awe of his sister, and then sincerely sympathized with his future son.
"Madam is right, children who don't obey should be pumped hard."
"..." The future. It doesn't exist yet. The young master of the Fu family.
After lunch, Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng went out to Fu Yucheng's yard. Fu Yucheng was still at home with his wife and children, but Leng Sa felt that the yard seemed a little deserted, and there was nothing festive as he just fell in love with his beloved daughter.
The child is small and weak and can't stand the wind. It is not convenient for Fu Fengcheng to enter the room of his younger brother and sister, so he doesn't have to look after the child. Fu Yucheng invites him to the study to sit in the cold room and go in to see Zheng Ying by himself.
Zheng Ying had already woken up, and looked in good spirits except for her pale face.
Mrs. Zheng was taking care of her in the room, and when she saw Leng Sa came in, she got up quickly, "Mrs. Young Master."
Both Zheng Ying and Mrs. Zheng had heard about what happened outside the house yesterday, and both of them were actually quite complicated about it.
After all, Mrs. Zheng wasn't very polite to Leng Sa because of her affairs with Fu Yucheng, but now she is still speaking for her daughter. Mrs. Zheng can't help feeling embarrassed and ashamed when she sees Leng Sa.
Leng Sa nodded slightly and said, "Mrs. Zheng, you've worked hard."
The Fu family has a big family, Zheng Ying's mother-in-law can't come out, and several concubines naturally won't come. Leng Sa has a delicate relationship with her sister-in-law, not to mention that she has never given birth to a child at all. The second young lady and the third young master Madam was also not close to Zheng Ying, so in the end she could only let Zheng Ying's mother's mother take care of her confinement.
"Where, it should be." Mrs. Zheng said quickly, "Sit Mrs. Young, I will have someone pour a glass of water for Mrs."
Leng Sa waved her hands and smiled, "Mrs. Zheng, don't be too busy, I'll come to see my brother and sister and leave after a few words."
Knowing that Leng Sa had something to tell Zheng Ying, Mrs. Zheng nodded and went outside to take care of her little granddaughter with her nanny.
Zheng Ying sat on the head of the bed, her face pale and her voice a little weak, "Sister-in-law, do you have anything to ask me?"
Leng Sa looked at Zheng Ying like this and felt that she had really changed a lot from a few months ago.
It almost makes people forget that she spent a few months ago in the famous Anlan University in Yongcheng.
Leng Sa asked, "How do you feel?"
Zheng Ying nodded, "It's alright, just a little tired. The doctor said it's good to keep it for a while."
Leng Sa hesitated for a while, but still asked, "What happened yesterday..."
Before Leng Sa's words were finished, Zheng Ying's face turned paler, and a trace of sadness and disappointment flashed in his eyes. Leng Sa didn't know whether Zheng Ying was disappointed with Fu Yucheng and this relationship, or was disappointed with his previous choice.
After a pause, he continued, "I heard Chunjuan and others say something about the incident yesterday, and now I still want to hear what you have to say. And... what do you think about this matter?"
In the final analysis, Fu Yucheng was wrong, causing Zheng Ying to give birth prematurely and even affecting the child's health. The Fu family must give the Zheng family an explanation.
But in the end it is up to Zheng Ying to decide how to punish Fu Yucheng.
Zheng Ying was silent for a long time before he said lightly, "The doctor told me... this child is born weak and was born prematurely. No matter how careful you are, I am afraid... it will be doomed to be weak and sick for the rest of your life."
Leng Sa didn't speak, just listened to her in silence.
"I'm a little fortunate that I'm a girl. If it's a boy... I'm weak and sick all my life, how will he live?" Zheng Ying said blankly, "Sister-in-law, do you feel happy to see me like this now? You say ...is this my retribution?"
Leng Sa said: "I can't say whether I'm happy or not."
Zheng Ying looked at her and nodded, smiled bitterly, "That's right, you probably never took Fu Yucheng in your eyes from the beginning to the end. As you said before, the matter between me and him...you I'm not happy because I robbed you, but because we lost face for you. Now that you've got your face back, naturally you won't take us to heart anymore. But sister-in-law...even if he and I were originally ...I'm sorry for you and eldest brother, but I also sincerely want to live with him."
Even though it is much more open these days, there are still not many choices for women. Even if Zheng Ying didn't love Fu Yucheng that much, she really wanted to live with Fu Yucheng for a lifetime.
She knew that Fu Yucheng was not as capable as Fu Fengcheng, but she was willing to do her best to make up for his shortcomings and give him the help he could. She thought they could become a loving couple and let those who had laughed at them get slapped in the face.
But obviously, Fu Yucheng didn't think so.
"Yesterday, what happened?" Leng Sa asked.
She still has some understanding of Zheng Ying's character. She is a smart person. She should not go to war for a little thing or misunderstanding, especially when she is inconvenient.
Zheng Ying showed a wry smile and said faintly, "Fu Anyan wants to help Gong Sihe and Fu Yucheng connect."
"Why? Gong Sihe is willing to be a child for Fu Yucheng?" It's impossible, right? Moreover, in the six southern provinces, the palace family may not be able to provoke the Zheng family. Gong Sihe doesn't look like she will be a concubine.
Zheng Ying looked at her and said indifferently: "It's not that I'm a child, Fu Anyan wants us to divorce."
Is there something wrong with Fu Anyan? !
Leng Sa was silent for a long time before he held back and didn't scold the words directly.
Fu Yucheng's current situation, Mrs. Fu is under house arrest again. The Fu family has no one to support him and Fu Anyan. At this time, Fu Anyan still wants to offend the Zheng family just to win over Gong Sihe?
It's true that the Zheng family has no military power, but they still have financial power in their hands. If he did something secretly, the Chi family might not be better off.
You must know that even the six southern provinces are not necessarily monolithic. If you have a conflict with the Zheng family, there will always be someone who will stand on the Zheng family's side.
If Fu Anyan is courting a powerful person like Yao Guan, what else can Gong Sihe bring to Fu Yucheng? Is Fu Anyan trying to kill Fu Yucheng?
"Is this... Fu Anyan's meaning or Fu Yucheng's meaning?" Leng Sa asked.
Zheng Ying was silent for a while and said, "Fu Anyan's meaning, he did not agree." But looking at Fu Yucheng and Gong Sihe's attitude towards getting along, it is clear that although he does not want to divorce, he does not reject being with Gong Sihe.
Leng Sa also understands this truth, and she can also see that Fu Yucheng is far less ruthless than his mother and her sister, and has some real feelings for Zheng Ying, "Then what are you going to do?"
Zheng Ying smiled bitterly, "What else can I do? The child is so young... I have to bring her up after giving birth to her, so I can rest assured by arranging a life-long worry-free life for her."
There are indeed many couples who will divorce these years, but Zheng Ying can't choose that.
She didn't feel at ease to leave her daughter to the Fu family, but she couldn't leave the Fu family with her daughter, who was doomed to be infirm. She is the eldest miss of the Zheng family, and it is right that she can afford a daughter. But she is not the only choice for the Zheng family. Once she loses any value, even if her parents don't say anything, other members of the Zheng family will inevitably have criticism after a long time.
In any case, in the Fu family, she is the fourth young lady of the Fu family, and her daughter is the only daughter of the fourth young master of the Fu family. I don't know what happened to Fu Fengcheng, but at least Dujun Fu will not be a person who leaves his granddaughter alive and dead.
Leng Sa nodded to show that he understood, stood up and said: "You should rest well, what happened yesterday... The Overseer and the young master will give you and the Zheng family an explanation. Do you have any hope of seeing the result? "
Zheng Ying thought for a while, and finally shook his head.
Leng Sa looked at her, turned around and walked out, Zheng Ying's weak voice came from behind, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry..."
Leng Sa walked out without replying or looking back.
In the study room on the other side, Fu Fengcheng had also finished listening to Fu Yucheng's remarks about what happened yesterday, and he had been sitting quietly listening without expressing any opinion.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing should not be handled by him, and Fu Fengcheng never thought that one day he would need to deal with such trivial housework. But now there are only three people in the entire Fu family who can handle these things, Dujun Fu, Leng Sa, and himself.
Duke Fu didn't have the time or patience to understand these things. If he came, Fu Yucheng would have to be whipped again and then talk about other things.
Leng Sa went to see Zheng Ying, and there was nothing to say between Fu Fengcheng and Fu Yucheng, so he simply asked what happened yesterday as a way to pass the time.
Fu Yucheng really has nothing to do with Gong Sihe, at least it hasn't happened yet.
Yesterday's events will turn into the final one. To put it simply, Gong Sihe suddenly approached Fu Yucheng on purpose or unintentionally and made seemingly intimate actions, which misunderstood everyone who happened to be not far away. And Fu Anyan's mouth is too cheap and his hands are too long to interfere with his younger brother's marriage life and feelings. Finally, a large group of people added fuel to the fire and almost caused a tragedy.
Fu Fengcheng looked at Fu Yucheng strangely as if he was looking at an idiot after listening to Fu Yucheng's remarks and the complaints of dissatisfaction.
Fu Yucheng was a little hairy when he saw him, and couldn't help but angrily said, "Why are you looking at me like this?!"
Fu Fengcheng rolled his eyes lightly, still not intending to speak.
Leng Sa pushed the door open and saw such a scene. Fu Yucheng glared at Fu Fengcheng angrily, but Fu Fengcheng lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, as if there were some priceless treasure on the ground.
"What are you doing?" asked Leng Sa, puzzled.
Fu Fengcheng raised his head, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, are you finished? What is there to say over there?"
Leng Sa glanced at Fu Yucheng, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, the fourth younger brother and sister said that everything is to obey the orders of the Overseer and the young master, and now all her thoughts are on the child." This is not only what Zheng Ying meant, but also It means the Zheng family. The Zheng family never wanted to fall out with the Fu family for the sake of their daughter and granddaughter. Since the Zheng family can't be held accountable, Zheng Ying might as well be more generous and more likely to cause Fu Yucheng and the Fu family to feel guilty.
But the same Fu family must also handle this matter properly, otherwise, even if the Zheng family doesn't say anything, it will inevitably make others look cold.
Hearing the word "child", Fu Yucheng couldn't help showing a bit of guilt on his face.
Fu Fengcheng glanced back at him and said solemnly, "Since the Zheng family doesn't want to trouble you, tomorrow you will go to the Zheng family to make amends. You are at home with your wife these few days and you are not allowed to go anywhere, nor do you You are allowed to see anyone, including Fu Anyan! From this month onwards, all your income will be directly handed over to your wife, and the old man will privately take out a sum of money for the child's future health care expenses. As for Fu Anyan, let her go back Chi's house! And that Gong Sihe... Don't let me hear that you are still in contact with her in the future. You must remember it clearly. No matter what you want to do in the future, Gong Sihe is absolutely not allowed to enter Fu's house. door."
"Why?!" Fu Yucheng almost jumped up, "You can't see Third Sister so well? And Gong...Miss Gong, I'm just ordinary friends with her, why do you control what kind of friends I make?! Me! Aying and I will never divorce!"
It's not how deep Fu Yucheng's relationship with Fu Anyan really is, and it's not because he really wants to be with Gong Sihe, but when he listens to Fu Fengcheng's cold order, his immediate reaction is to blow his mind.
What else would all his income go directly to his wife? Doesn't that mean he's going to become a man who lives on pocket money from his wife? As a wealthy young master who grew up with big hands, who can stand this?
Fu Fengcheng glanced at him and said lightly: "I'm not discussing with you."
Fu Yucheng wanted to slap the case and became furious, but his eyes suddenly swept to Fu Fengcheng, who was looking at his coldness with a smile but not a smile. deflated.
"You hate your mother so much that you can't wait to kill everyone who is related to her?"
Leng Sa raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling a little resentful in this voice.
In Fu Yucheng's opinion, Fu Anyan is Mrs. Fu's biological daughter. Gong Sihe was invited by Mrs. Fu to Yongcheng, and naturally it has something to do with her. Fu Fengcheng said that he did this because of the relationship between the Zheng family and Zheng Ying, rather than because his mother was angry with others.
"..." Dashao Fu didn't want to talk to the fool. Fu Yucheng was an adult and married, and Dashao Fu was not responsible for building his younger brother's thoughts and three views. So he raised his head and said to Leng Sa, "Let's go."
Leng Sa nodded and pushed Fu Fengcheng to go out.
"Hey!" Fu Yucheng exclaimed in dissatisfaction.
Fu Fengcheng turned his head and glanced at him indifferently, "Remember my words, or do you want the old man to tell you in person?"
"..." Fu Yucheng didn't dare to say more, and even couldn't help shaking. When the old man came to tell him about this kind of thing, he just came up and took a whip.
Leng Sa raised her eyebrows slightly, ignoring the frustrated Fu Yucheng and pushed Fu Fengcheng out.
