Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 453, stepfather? ! (Five more)


The rebellion subsided, and the capital soon returned to its original bustling and din.

Only the ruined buildings on both sides of the downtown streets make it impossible to forget the fierce battle that took place here just a few days ago. Order in the capital is back in motion, and those who have fought hard for it have retreated into the background.

Fu Fengcheng and Long Yue both expressed their gratitude behind closed doors and will soon return to the six southern and four northern provinces respectively. In this regard, the elites in the capital were naturally very satisfied, and they praised the heroic deeds of the two young marshals on various occasions and in the newspapers without hesitation.

As a result, the newspapers in the streets and alleys also published various deeds of Da Shao Fu and Shao Long during the period of suppression of the rebellion.

"After reading two more articles, I will think that these two are the gods of war." It was just a small rebellion. It was only a little difficult because of the shortage of troops.

Zhuo Lin was packing her things, and she couldn't help laughing when she heard Leng Sa's rant, "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 get involved in the affairs of the capital?"

Zhuo Lin said, "This is very important. The capital has always disliked meddling in places. If you take the initiative to back down at such a good opportunity, those people may be relieved."

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

Zhuo Lin smiled, "In the current situation in Anxia, ​​the military and the cabinet have long been unable to control the six southern provinces or the four northern provinces, but they are unwilling to let them hand over their power. The status quo can be maintained. Even if it's good, who knows what will happen in the future?"

Leng Sa held her chin and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's right, it's almost turned upside down in less than 30 years, who knows what will happen in the future?"

Zhuo Lin has folded all the clothes and put them in the box. She closed the box and smiled, "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 just leave like this? On the cabinet side, and... Zhang Xiang, Zhang Zuo hasn't been caught yet." Leng Sa said quietly.

Zhuo Lin smiled, "We can only do things with confidence when we leave. As for Zhang Zuo... he is not necessarily alive or dead now."

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

Zhuo Lin said with a smile, "There are not a few people who want Zhang Zuo's life. The day before yesterday, Fengcheng didn't bring back a bunch of information about the organizations under Zhang Zuo's hands, and you didn't ask him where he got it from. ?"

Leng Sa said: "Said it was given to him by Xinyou."

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

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

Zhuolin thought for a while, then said lightly, "If that girl is a man, or if she is in better health, I am afraid she is not an ordinary character."

"Mother has good eyesight." Even if Yu Xinyou is a girl, her body is still weak, and she is not an ordinary character. She just 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.

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

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

Apparently the rebellion did little harm to either of them.

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

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

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

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

Yu Xinyou said with a smile, "I'm fine, sorry for worrying you." Leng Sa felt that Yu Xinyou and Zhang Huizhi had changed a bit over the past few days, and Zhang Huizhi, who had escaped, became calm. After a few minutes, Yu Xinyou, who was originally gentle with a touch of sullenness, seemed a lot more cheerful, as if he had lost a long-standing burden, and his whole person became relaxed and bright.

"It's fine." Seeing Yu Xinyou's coldness, she was relieved.

The three sat in the hall chatting for a while, mainly talking about the capital affairs of the past two days.

Yu Chengyi is about to become the acting prime minister, while the original prime minister, Zhang Bi, is still temporarily held in a cell. Fortunately, Zhang Huizhi is not an unreasonable person, and there is no embarrassment to get along with Yu Xinyou.

Although Zhang Zuo's whereabouts are still unknown and Zhang Bi is temporarily detained, many things are already under investigation. Zhang Bi and Zhang Zuo were not involved too much, and because Zhang Jingzhi participated in the suppression of the rebellion, and the evidence from Zhuo Lin showed that Zhang Bi helped them. Although Zhang Bi lost his power, there should be no problem with his personal safety.

It's just that Zhang Huizhi is no longer the prime minister's daughter in the future, and Zhang's family background has plummeted. I'm afraid it will take some time to get used to it.

Zhang Huizhi told Leng Sa that she could not go to Yongcheng for the time being, and that she would stay to help her brother take care of Zhang's family and take care of her father. But after the Zhang family has settled down, she will still go to the Sixth South Province to see it.

Yu Xinyou also joined in the fun and said with a smile, "I also really want to visit the six southern provinces. I don't know if Sa Sahuan is welcome?"

Leng Sa is a little surprised, this is almost a sure-fire prime minister's daughter. And the health is not very good, will you be relieved to go to the Southern Sixth Province to go to Minister Yu?

"Of course, whenever Xinyou wants to come to the Sixth South Province, I will welcome you."

Yu Xinyou smiled, "That's it."

"What's settled?" Xiao Yiran's voice came from outside the door, 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 was not based on his family background. change with change.

"Three princes."

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

The royal family's participation in Ren Nanyan's rebellion this time, it can be said that they didn't get any benefits. Although it has not yet said that the royal family will be abolished, the winds of the newspapers and the people in the past two days are not very friendly to the royal family.

There are also a very small number of royalists who want to push Xiao Yiran, who stood in the right line in the rebellion, at this time, but Xiao Yiran refused without hesitation. The third prince said that he did not 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 his right to inherit the royal family, and would no longer consider himself a prince in the future.

When Xiao Yiran talked about this earlier, his tone was very cheerful. If it weren't for fear of scaring people, he would probably have wanted to shout three times in the street.

The position of emperor is only interesting when it represents supreme authority. If it is to be a puppet and a mascot, it is better to be at ease outside.

Xiao Yiran resolutely chose to betray the royal family at this time. Although he still felt a little bit sorry for his father, he never regretted it.

If he hadn't had this intention long ago, 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 sensitive prince for so many years.

Zhang Huizhi and Yu Xinyou both came to say goodbye to Leng Sa ahead of time. When Xiao Yiran came over, they knew that there must be something serious, so they quickly got up and said goodbye without disturbing them.

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

Leng Sa sat next to Fu Fengcheng and looked curiously at Xiao Yiran's decadent look, "What's wrong? Wasn't it fine before? Could it be that someone was scolded?"

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

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

Xiao Yiran sighed, leaning back into the sofa weakly and said: "What do you think he thinks? He is not so comfortable sitting in that position in the palace, even An... Third Uncle doesn't care, he sticks What are you doing?"

The second prince disappeared with Ren Nanyan. The emperor had no useful son by his side, so he was more tolerant of Xiao Yiran, the 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 shouldn't be much to say. The cabinet and the military just want to calm people's hearts. But in the future, it's hard to say. If the second brother doesn't appear in the future, it will be fine. But I don't care about this **** anymore. I don't know what's going to happen in the future."

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 in two years."

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

Leng Sa thought about it for a while, now it seems that going abroad is the best choice for Xiao Yiran. 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 wish... Mr. 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 was stunned for a while before realizing that he was talking about Leng Mingshu, and was a little curious, "What happened to Leng Mingshu?"

Xiao Yiran said, "She stabbed Xiao Haoran."

"What?" Leng Sa was stunned, Xiao Yiran smiled, "I said, she stabbed Xiao Haoran. She really deserves to be the cousin of the little sister-in-law. /

"What's the matter?" Leng Sa was not talking with Zhuo Lin these past two days, or dealing with matters before leaving Beijing. He was so busy that he still had time to pay attention to the affairs of the Leng family.

Xiao Yiran touched his chin and shook his head, "I don't know, I don't seem to know why there was a conflict with Xiao Haoran, aren't they temporarily locked in the palace with my father...our old man? Someone is guarding outside. She was not allowed to come in and out casually, and when she heard the sound, she stabbed someone. Xiao Haoran has a great life, but no matter how bad it is, he will not survive for a few years.”

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

Xiao Yiran said, "Don't interfere in this matter, don't worry, the Xiao family is most afraid of attracting attention now, Xiao Haoran has long since been abandoned, and Prince Xiao himself doesn't care much. It shouldn't take much to save his granddaughter. If he doesn't care about himself, what do you care about them?"

Leng Sa is of course not a person who likes to meddle in business affairs, so he nodded and said, "This time the matter is over, should the old man stop?"

Xiao Yiran smiled with some schadenfreude, "It may be a good thing for the Leng family that Leng Yan died in Naga, otherwise the Leng family would have to be involved again this time. The Leng family has long since died, our old man, Zhang Zuo, Ren Nanyan doesn't look down on them, they can only be regarded as small shrimps 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's lineage will only be I can't get up."

Master Leng Er's family has been adopted out. Even if Leng Sa's younger brother Leng Feng has a future, it has nothing to do with Master Leng's family.

Therefore, this person, no matter how much he thinks, can't have enough eyesight.

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 she is willing to save people, then there is no need for her to intervene.

The next morning, the Fu family finally set foot on the train back to Yongcheng.

When I left Beijing, many people came to see them off. The train station platform was crowded with people who came to see them off. It was almost impossible to see that there was a war here a few days ago. Few people.

The two said goodbye to everyone who saw them off one by one, and then they boarded the train with everyone. In a long whistle, the train slowly started out of the station.

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

Zero Lin was sitting on the sofa on the other side, reading a book, when she heard her voice raised her head and laughed, "What's wrong?"

Leng Sa said with a smile, "I feel relieved to see the car drive out. It's a lot easier all of a sudden. There is always a feeling that... as long as I haven't left the capital, something will happen anytime, anywhere."

Zhuo Lin smiled, "I guess the person who came to see you off is similar to yours." One side is in a hurry to leave, and the other is eager to send them away, isn't it a hit and miss?

Leng Sa said with a smile, "Yeah, I hate seeing each other. It's better for everyone to part ways early. Those things in the capital are left to the people of the capital to toss them. We will not accompany them. We are going home!"

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

There were two knocks on the door, and I looked back coldly, "Come in."

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

Leng Sa blinked and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, "An...Prince An? Why are you here?" Why didn't she know when Prince An got into the car?

Xiao Zhu smiled and said, "I am no longer Prince An, so I can go anywhere in the future. I heard that everyone is going south today, so I will follow you in a car, does Mrs. Fu mind?"

Leng Sa hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind, Wang... uh, Mr. Xiao, don't be polite." After not seeing him for a few days, Lord Leng felt that the former Emperor and the former Prince An seemed to be more handsome again.

Perhaps it's really nothing to worry about, or maybe it's a different environment. The faint loneliness and desolation in the deep house compound is much less, but it's a little 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 next to her, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her heart, and her eyes fixed on Xiao Zhu in front of her.

Even if you are not bound, the world is so big that you can't go anywhere. Why do you want to take their car to the six southern provinces? She didn't think how good the relationship between Xiao Zhu and Fu Dujun was.

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

"..." Leng Sa wasn't quite sure whether he should call this uncle or not, and somehow felt a sense of bringing a wolf into the room.

But looking at the man in front of him with an elegant smile, a humble and noble gentleman.

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

Xiao Zhu nodded, "Sasha 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 smiled and said, "What could be wrong? Those people might want me to leave quickly."

Zhuo Lin said, "I mean, would it be dangerous for you to leave the capital like this?" Even if Xiao Zhu gave up his royal status, for some people, where would it be safer 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. Arlene, you won't despise me, will you? I wonder if you need consultants? I think I can still do the job."

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

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

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

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

Leng Sa waved to Fu Fengcheng with a smile, Fu Fengcheng walked over to her, sat down, held her hand and said to Zhuo Lin, "Mother, are you still used to the car?"

Zhuolin smiled, "Don't worry about me, I used to run around a lot, what's not used to it? It's you, don't be busy in the car, you haven't had a good rest during this time."

Fu Fengcheng nodded and accepted the concern from his mother. After getting along for a few days, 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 people to get along with, but they can naturally accept everything from each other and live in harmony.

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

Leng Sa originally leaned on Fu Fengcheng's shoulder to listen, but when she listened to it, she became drowsy, and finally fell asleep in Fu Fengcheng's arms.

The sound of the train chirping and the gentle conversation in my sleep was extraordinarily reassuring.
