Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 394, past!

Zole's life is legendary for women of this era. She was born in the Sheng family, a famous family in the south. Although the Sheng family was already in the sunset when Zhuo Lin was born, as the saying goes, a thin dead camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that the Sheng family is only declining, and it is far from dying.

At that time, the name Luochuan Shengshi was enough to make people look up to him. The Sheng family has two daughters in Zhuolin's generation, the eldest daughter Sheng Zhuoyan and the second daughter Sheng Zhuolin. The two sisters are only four years apart, and they have had an excellent relationship since childhood, but unlike the dignified and virtuous eldest lady, Zhuo Lin has been a little rebellious since she was a child.

This rebellion doesn't mean how naughty she is, but her ideas are always out of tune with a century-old family like the Sheng family.

Sheng Zhuoyan has studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. However, Zhuo Lin, who is four years younger than her, can only be regarded as a little bit of talent. It is not because she is not as smart as her sister, but because she always tries to skip classes. Then he secretly hid outside the classroom where the boys of the Sheng family were in class and listened, or hid in the study of the master of the Sheng family to read.

At that time, there were already public primary and secondary schools, but Zhuo Lin never went to primary school, even secondary school for only two years, but by her own ability, she was admitted to the far away in Yongcheng at the age of fifteen. Anlan Women's University. At first, the Sheng family did not object to her going to university too much, because at that time it was not a bad thing for the rich and powerful daughter to go to Anlan University, but it could be regarded as a very good resume.

Zhuolin entered school at the age of fifteen and graduated early at the age of seventeen. During her time at school, she not only excelled in her own subjects, but even completely mastered two foreign languages.

That is, in this year, the Sheng family was ready to get engaged to Zhuo Lin, and the selected object was considered a match for the Sheng family. But this matter was strongly opposed by Zhuo Lin. After failing to communicate with her family, Zhuo Lin escaped from the Sheng family, and then sent a letter to the Sheng family and the family who were about to get engaged to express her position.

Then she went north alone, changed her name and changed her surname with the help of the Long family, and entered Jingcheng University for further study.

Although Zhuo Lin went to university in Yongcheng, she and Fu Dujun actually met in the capital. At that time, Dujun Fu was already a young talent with little fame and strength. When he was working in the capital, he met Zhuo Lin and fell in love with him at first sight.

Zhuo Lin was also famous at that time. In order to avoid the Sheng family, Zhuo Lin actually kept a low profile for the past two years. But the Fu Dujun at that time was not the now middle-aged and prosperous Dujun Fu, and the Fu Dujun who had not yet stood was tall and tall, in fact, an extraordinary handsome man. Moreover, his military strength was not weak at that time, and he had a good relationship with Prince Long Yuemu, Deputy Minister Lu, and even the emperor, which naturally attracted people's attention.

It was only at this time that people discovered that there was still such a beautiful and talented woman in the capital. Fortunately, the young man who was going to be engaged to Zhuo Lin at that time was already married, so there is no need to be too shy.

Everyone has a love for beauty, so Dujun Fu will not be the only one chasing Zhuo Lin.

But in the end, I don't know why Zhuo Lin chose Fu Dujun, and the two got married after falling in love for half a year. However, the Sheng family did not agree with the marriage of the two. In the view of the Sheng family, Dujun Fu at that time, although he was a little powerful, was born in a precarious time. Not to mention that the Fu family itself is only a small wealthy businessman's family, how can it be worthy of the Sheng family of scholars and officials for generations?

But Zhuo Lin decided to insist on marrying Fu Dujun, and the old lady of the Sheng family expelled Zhuo Lin from the Sheng family in a rage, claiming that there would be no Sheng Zhuolin in the Sheng family.

After two years of quiet days, Zhuo Lin stayed in the capital to teach at Jingcheng University, and Dujun Fu often traveled between the capital and Yongcheng.

The marriage didn't come to an end until... because of Mrs. Fu's intervention, the two suddenly divorced.

In the study, Leng Sa leaned against Fu Fengcheng's arms and the two looked at the document that Xu Shaoming had just sent, "The Sheng family was originally going to be engaged to Ms. Zhuo with Zhang Xiang?!" Leng Sa said in surprise.

Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "No, Zhang Xiang and his late wife were engaged since childhood and got married very early. It's the second master of the Zhang family, Zhang Zuo."

Leng Sa took a closer look, sure enough.

"I remember Huizhi said that the second master of the Zhang family is in poor health." Leng Sa frowned.

Fu Fengcheng nodded and said, "Yes, Zhang Erye once slipped into a pond in winter and hurt his body when he was nine years old. He got a strange disease a few years ago and hasn't come out for many years."

Leng Sa frowned a little puzzled, "The Sheng family gave their daughter to a person who is not in good health?" If it was a person like Zhang Bi, it would be a good match. Why do you want to marry your daughter to the Zhang family when you love your daughter?

Fu Fengcheng said indifferently: "The Sheng family married the eldest daughter to the Wei family. If it were placed a hundred years ago, the Wei family would not even be eligible to marry the prostitute of the Sheng family, let alone the eldest daughter. This is also why the Sheng family did not agree with Ms. Zhuo marrying the old man, the Fu family was not qualified to marry the daughter of the Sheng family at that time."

The Wei family still has money, but the Fu family doesn't even have much money.

No, it should be said that Dujun Fu, who was still in the entrepreneurial period, was actually very poor.

Leng Sa couldn't help but click, "No wonder Ms. Zhuo wants to run."

And Ms. Zhuo didn't run away from marriage after getting engaged or before she was about to get married. She ran away before they got engaged, which can be said to be quite decisive.

Leng Sa pulled the document and continued to read.

After Zhuo Lin and Fu Dujun divorced, they went abroad with the school's visiting team, returned to Beijing three months later, and lived in the Long family's mansion in Beijing.

The second month after the palace change, Zhuo Lin went back to Luochuan and officially broke with the Sheng family and went abroad to study again. Two years later, when she returned from abroad, she went directly to the four northern provinces. Zhuo Lin spent most of her time in the northern four provinces for more than 20 years.

In the past 20 years, Zhuo Lin has done a lot of work. She has worked as a reporter editor in a newspaper office, as an ordinary employee in a company, and as a translator for foreigners. An assistant to help with the affairs. Later, he went to another place, starting from a small assistant to the county magistrate and becoming the governor of Yunzhou.

Leng Sa's eyes couldn't help but raise incomparable admiration when he looked at the thick resume in front of him.

Let alone in this era, even in her previous life, it was rare to see a woman as independent, strong and capable as Zhuo Lin.

Especially after Zhuo Lin entered the officialdom, Anxia's officialdom was definitely not friendly to women, even if she had the Dragon Governor behind her, it was of no use.

If Zhuo Lin is only Long Xiao's assistant even if she has a lot of power, then no one will care. Because no matter how capable she is, in the eyes of those men, she is just a vase by Long Xiao's side. Relying on Long Xiao's favor, it is not uncommon to see such mischief and misfortune throughout the ages.

However, once Zhuo Lin wants to really enter the officialdom to compete with them, Zhuo Lin will become their enemy, the enemy of all of them.

No matter how hard she worked and how high she achieved, in the eyes of these men, Zhuo Lin would only think that Zhuo Lin came to the top by virtue of her special relationship with Long Xiao. The higher the status of Zhuo Lin, the more unbearable the rumors are. At the back, even Long Xiao couldn't lift Zhuo Lin up against everyone's pressure.

As a result, Yunzhou became a place where officials from the four northern provinces brushed their political achievements.

Anyway, even if a pig is the governor, as long as the second chief is Zhuo Lin, there is no need to worry about the pig's lack of political achievements. Zhuo Lin served as the vice-governor of Yunzhou for twelve years, and sent away six governors successively. She also changed Yunzhou from the poorest place in the four northern provinces to the second-ranked state in the four northern provinces.

Until this year, everyone knew that no one would be promoted, because the whole Anxia would laugh at the men in the four northern provinces, so Zhuo Lin was successfully promoted to governor.

"It's really amazing." Leng Sa couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The Overseer is really a big loss." I don't want such a talented and beautiful wife, but I ended up marrying a brainless lady like Mrs. Fu...

Leng Sa feels that compared to Zhuo Lin, she is a modern person who is really a bit watery.

Fu Fengcheng nodded and said, "It's really powerful." Young Master Fu's eyes were also a little bit more admired. Fu Fengcheng rarely really admires a person, and I have to say that Zhuo Lin is definitely one.

Leng Sa held his chin and said, "But... it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the so-called black hand behind the scenes. In Ms. Zhuo's life... there is no suspicious person at all. Dragon Governor? Prince An? Zhang Prime Minister? Song Governor? Deputy Chief Lu?"

Dragon Governor is Zhuo Lin's cousin. Even if there is no such relationship, if the Dragon Governor really has any idea, it has been almost thirty years, so he will not be indifferent. Prince An seems to be interested in Zhuo Lin, and the two of them have a good relationship, but at that time, Prince An himself was unable to protect himself, how could he still have the time to do things?

Zhang Bi? Governor Song? Deputy Chief Lu? Leng Sa shook his head, no matter how he thought about it, something was wrong.

"Zhang Zuo." Fu Fengcheng pointed to a name on the document.

Leng Sa tilted her head and pondered, "Huizhi said he was in very bad health." Leng Sa remembered Zhang Huizhi's expression when he said her second uncle's condition was wrong, a person who is so ill... Really can do it thing? And...

"Don't you think that Zhang Zuo hates Ms. Zhuo for not wanting to get engaged, so she retaliated and wanted to provoke Ms. Zhuo and the Overseer to divorce. Even because of hatred of the Overseer, so many things happened, right? Ms. Zhuo is not engaged to him , but he's getting married soon."

Fu Fengcheng played with her slender fingers and shook his head, "Not everyone takes love seriously. He probably hasn't seen Ms. Zhuo before."

"That's why." Leng Sa spread his hands, it would be even more impossible.

Fu Fengcheng sighed helplessly, "I didn't mean that."

Leng Sa was stunned for a while, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, "You mean... it's not his main purpose to provoke misunderstanding between Ms. Zhuo and Dujun Fu, maybe it's just a matter of convenience? Other things are the focus? But he seems to hate you very much and target you very much."

Fu Fengcheng said, "If I really hate a person, I will cut the grass and root before he has the strength to resist."

Leng Sa shook her finger and said, "It seems that Master Fu doesn't really hate anyone."

Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you say?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "If you really hate someone to the core, why would you be willing to let him die immediately. When a person dies, he will be gone, and if there is nothing left, who else can you hate?"

Fu Dashao disagreed, "When someone dies, I naturally don't have to hate him anymore."

Leng Sa was a little surprised. After looking up and down Mr. Fu for a while, he couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that Mr. Fu was... such an honest person." In vain, she still felt that Mr. Fu had a mental problem. Well, it's really wronged people. Fu Dashao is simply too upright, and he is completely different from those mentally distorted perverts.

Master Fu looked at his wife speechlessly, "What do you mean?"

Leng Sa blinked and said, "Don't you think that if you hate someone, you will use all means to torture him, destroy him, and tell him when he dies tragically, that his life is just a Sad joke. Does that make it more enjoyable?"

Fu Fengcheng shook his head, "I don't think so."

Leng Sa asked curiously, "Why?"

Fu Fengcheng said: "If I torture a person for a long time, will I feel happy while torturing that person? Why don't I just kill him, then forget about it and find someone else to really let it go? People and things I am happy about?"

"..." It seems, it makes sense?

Leng Ye quickly abandoned this tangled question and said, "Okay, maybe someone will do this. But I don't think the mastermind behind the scenes may have the same idea as you."

"A bet?" Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at him with interest, "What bet?"

Fu Fengcheng said: "Just bet... Is this thing related to the black hand behind the scenes, and... Is he doing it casually or deliberately?"

Leng Sa thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand, "It has something to do with it. I'll make a bet!"

"It's relevant, just do it."

The two palms collided, and with a crisp sound, the bet was reached.

The special prison is located in an inconspicuous corner of the capital. Although the place is inconspicuous, it is close to the military office building. I don't know how many secret posts inside and outside. It is not an exaggeration to say that the guards are strictly guarded.

In the morning, when Fu Fengcheng and Leng Sa came to the door of the prison, they were immediately greeted by the person in charge of the prison who had been waiting there for a long time.

"I received Mr. Fu's application and a notice from the military yesterday. Are they going to arraign Xing Wei and Gong Sihe? I've already asked someone to bring them up." The person in charge accompanied the two of them. Go in, sideways.

Fu Fengcheng said lightly, "I heard that Mrs. Xing was assassinated in prison a few days ago?"

The person in charge suddenly stiffened and laughed dryly, "This... it is true that someone was bribed for money, and we have already investigated and dealt with seriously. Please rest assured, Master Fu, this kind of thing will never happen again."

Smiles coldly, "Please don't mind, he's not dissatisfied with you. It's just that Mrs. Xing is only temporarily being held here, and she hasn't been convicted yet. In case someone dies, she is finally found out. It's innocent, I'm afraid you can't explain it to the outside world. After all, Madam Xing is quite famous in the capital."

The person in charge repeatedly said yes, diligently brought people into a room, left a person to accompany him, and left quickly, as if some monster in the room wanted to eat him in one bite.

Leng Sa wandered around the room with only one table and a few chairs, and thoughtfully said, "There won't be any eavesdropping devices in this room, right?"

The staff next to him hurriedly smiled and said, "Young lady, worry too much. The walls here are thickened and soundproofed. As long as you don't shoot inside, you can't hear it outside. As for eavesdropping... not to mention. ."

Leng Sa nodded, reached out and knocked on the wall without speaking.

A moment later, the door was opened from the outside, and Xing Wei and Gong Sihe were escorted in.

It has been almost a month since they were gone, but Xing Wei and Gong Sihe looked neatly dressed and didn't seem to suffer much.

But her face is paler than before, especially Xing Wei... After being detained for so long, she was forced to wear no makeup in prison. A woman should be old, and even the faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are clearly visible.

What caught Leng Sa's attention the most was that the teachers and students, who were once intimate, seemed to be a little more estranged from each other.

They may not have noticed it themselves, but Leng Sa, an outsider, can tell the difference at a glance.

The person who brought the two in and the person who was left to accompany both quickly withdrew, leaving only four people in the room.

Xing Wei now has a deep-rooted fear of Leng Sa, no matter who suffers from setbacks and tortures one after another on the same person, will have such fear. So Xing Wei couldn't help trembling slightly when she saw Leng Sa, and took a step back without a trace.

Fu Fengcheng and Leng Sa naturally saw her action, and Leng Sa waved to the two of them with a smile without caring, "Mrs. Xing, Miss Gong, long time no see, are you okay?"

Gong Sihe gritted her teeth and said solemnly, "Not as good as the young lady."

Leng Sa took Fu Fengcheng's arm in a good mood and said, "Of course not as good as me, does Miss Gong think everyone can be as lucky as me?"

Gong Sihe Wenyan couldn't help but turn to look at her, Leng Sa seemed to be more and more complacent.

Clearly raised his chin proudly, but the words he said seemed to sigh, "Look at the time when I abandoned Fu Xiaosi that little trash, but I got the best of people like Fu Shao. An Xia Shuangbi, Nanfeng Beilong? Look at you again, there is someone in your heart, and you have to work hard to pretend that you are a bad woman who loves vanity and likes to destroy other people's families, and ruins her own reputation. Now even the Gong family refuses to recognize you? If the person you like is like Fu It's okay to be so young, handsome and outstanding, but it's just... I have to fight for a bad old man with an old woman who can compete with you in every place. Gee...it's miserable!"

"Shut up! He's not a bad old man!" Originally, Gong Sihe's expression was still a little dazed, but when he heard Leng Sa's last sentence, his expression changed, and his rebuttal words also blurted out.
