No matter what others thought, they still retreated at the instructions of Mr. Leng. Only Leng Yan was still sitting aside. Old Master Leng obviously had no intention of letting him retreat. "Brother?" Leng Sa raised his eyebrows and looked at Leng Yan with a smile and said that it was self-evident.

Leng Yan frowned slightly and turned his head to see Old Master Leng. Old Master Leng snorted lightly before saying, "Yan'er, you can go out first."

Leng Yan looked at Leng Sa deeply and then nodded and stood up and retreated, and closed the door of the hall.

Only Old Master Leng and Leng Sa were left in the hall. Although it was broad daylight, the light in the hall suddenly became much darker.

Leng Sa walked to the side and pushed open a window before walking back to the previous seat. Old Master Leng stood with the crutch in his hand and looked at her straight, "What do you want to say, just say it."

"I don't want to say anything." Leng Sa smiled, "I just want to ask the old man, what do you want to do?"

Old Master Leng was stunned, "What does it mean?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "You always use any rules and reputation to talk about things, but I don't think you care about these things as much as you do. So... why do you have to manipulate our marriage? You don't even care about your own granddaughter's life and happiness?"

"What are you talking nonsense?" Old Master Leng said angrily, "What do you mean to manipulate the marriage?"

Leng Sa tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers and chuckled, "The old man doesn't have to admit it. I believe that my marriage with the Fu family is good for the Leng family, but... what are the benefits of the marriage with Leng Mingshu and Xiao Haoran? If the engagement is terminated, will it really affect the Leng family?"

"If I could let the Xiao family not break off the engagement, of course, Leng Mingshu could also get rid of the marriage without any harm. But..." Leng Sa looked at Old Master Leng, "The noble grandfather seemed to have never thought of the second way."

"Enough, I don't know what you are talking nonsense." Old Master Leng closed his eyes slightly and refused to look at Leng Sa. "If you want to help Shu'er, you can help. If you don't want to go out, just pretend that the Leng family has never raised your granddaughter."

Leng Sa was not in a hurry, leaning against the back of the chair, looking at Old Master Leng sitting in front of him.

Old Master Leng was a little impatient and opened his eyes to look at her, "What are you looking at?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "I know the old man doesn't need my help. I'm just Leng Mingshu's engagement. If you don't want to break off the engagement, there will naturally be a way to settle the Xiao family. But I guess you shouldn't want to do this, so you need my and the Fu family to help."

Old Master Leng's eyes suddenly became cold when he stared at her, "What the hell do you want to say?"

Leng Sa said calmly: "What the hell do you want to do?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Old Master Leng said.

Leng Sa shook her head, "Of course you insisted that Leng Mingshu marry Xiao Haoran not to have any friendship with the Xiao family. Then what do you want to do? It has something to do with the Xiao family...or is it to the royal family?"

“…”

Leng Sa sighed and looked at Old Master Leng with a little tiredness before he closed his eyes. When he opened it again, it was already clear in his eyes.

"Restoration." Leng Sa said in a deep voice, "You want to re-support the royal family to take power. Are you and your partner Prince Xiao? But now... the Xiao family has changed their minds. Compared to the Leng family... they have found more valuable collaborators."

Leng Sa looked at the silent old man Leng and laughed in a low voice, "Brother, you misunderstood. The Xiao family did not intend to regret the marriage."

"Or... the Xiao family still wants Leng Mingshu, but... they hope that the Leng family can make concessions, such as giving up their position as the main wife. They have to break off the engagement a few years ago. Isn't it because of the relationship between the Leng family and the Fu family? Now even if Fu Fengcheng is abandoned, he is still the eldest master of the Fu family." Leng Sa looked at Old Master Leng calmly and stated his guess.

"Shut up!"

With a thud, Old Master Leng smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and suddenly raised his head and stared at Leng Sa.

Leng Sa let out a long sigh, "Grandfather didn't want me to help the Xiao family not to break off the engagement, but needed me to help Leng Mingshu keep the position of the main wife and the weight of the Leng family in the eyes of the Xiao family. I am bluntly speaking, grandfather..."

"What else do you want to say?"

Leng Sa smiled, "Your vision is too bad. It is difficult for Xiao Haoran to bear your expectations. And the Leng family... obviously, there is no hero among the people who can turn the tide and change the day."

Old Master Leng said coldly, "What do you know?!"

Leng Sa nodded and said, "I understand. You are not betting on Xiao Haoran but Prince Xiao. Leng Mingshu is just a symbol of your alliance with the Xiao family, or... a hostage that is useless? If the Fu family can express their opinions, the weight of this hostage will naturally be the heavier. If the Xiao family cares about Leng Mingshu, you don't care, but the Xiao family will pay more attention to the Leng family."

Old Master Leng's eyes were already filled with haze, "Leng Mingyue, you are indeed the smartest among so many girls in the Leng family. But do you know where your shortcomings lie?"

Leng Sa was a little surprised, "Please give me advice."

Old Master Leng said coldly: "You think too little, but you say too much. What do you think are right about your self-righteous guesses?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Do you think you are? As long as you have three points right, it's enough."

"What do you want to say so much?"

Leng Sa said: "I promise to help you this time, the condition is that... the second wife left the Xiao family, and from then on, everything about the second wife and grandfather will have nothing to do with each other."

Old Master Leng's face changed slightly, "If the second wife has nothing to do with the Leng family, then what's the use of you?"

Leng Sa held his chin and smiled, "Time can be after Leng Mingshu married into the Prince Xiao's Mansion. This is the only thing I can do for the Leng family."

"What if I don't agree?" asked Old Master Leng.

Leng Sa said: "Then I can't guarantee that I won't say anything to Governor Fu or anyone else. Anyway, the old man said it was all my self-righteous guesses. Then the old man shouldn't care, right?"

Old Master Leng's eyes were almost narrowed into a slit, but Leng Sa could see the bitter coldness from there.

Leng Sa seemed to have not seen it, and yawned a little, "Old man, I advise you not to think of something unrealistic."

"After all, you are a member of the Leng family. Do you think... the Fu family will really believe you?" Old Master Leng said in a deep voice.

"You take the Leng family too seriously." Leng Sa smiled, "I want to believe in the Leng family, but unfortunately you are also working for others. If you tell me that you want to taste what it feels like to sit on a dragon throne, I might also consider helping you. After all, maybe you can still get a princess and princess at that time. It would be very embarrassing for me if you didn't pursue it like this."

Old Master Leng suddenly laughed at Leng Sa. Leng Sa blinked and looked at her in confusion.

"The second brother is a terrible person. I have worked hard to train Yan'er over the years. I originally thought that there would be no successor. Unexpectedly... you are the person who looks the most like me." Old Master Leng said with some regret, "You are so heartless now, and you really won't regret it in the future?"

Leng Sa asked, "Did you regret it if you have raising all three sons over the years?"

"I'm saving their lives." Old Master Leng said coldly.

Leng Sa shook her head, "I don't understand, and I'm not interested in understanding."

"Then it's as you wish." Old Master Leng said in a deep voice, "As long as Shu'er successfully marry into the Xiao family, the second wife can leave the Xiao family. At that time, I will give you a reason that will convince the public and will never damage your second wife's reputation. From then on, it has nothing to do with you if the Leng family is prosperous and wealthy or defeated.

Leng Sa smiled with satisfaction and said, "One word is certain."

"Hmph!" Old Master Leng snorted, "Are you afraid that I will regret it then?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "If you regret it, I will kill Leng Yan."

"..." Old Master Leng didn't know whether she was telling the truth or joking, so he didn't continue the topic, "Go out."

"The old man looks bad, so I have a good rest, I'll take a leave first." Leng Sa got up and took a leave and walked out.

In the yard outside the door, except for the eldest master and his wife, no one left. When they saw Leng Sa come out, they all came up to meet him, "Yue'er."

"Sister Three."

"Yue'er, how are you doing?"

Leng Sa stood in front of Leng Mingshu with a plain expression, "Fourth sister, I'll ask you one last time, no matter what happens in the future, you insist on joining the Xiao family?"

Leng Mingshu was stunned, Leng Sa reminded, "You'd better preset according to the worst result."

Leng Mingshu bit the corner of his lip and nodded firmly, "Yes, third sister."

A circle of gauze was wrapped around her forehead, her face was as pale as paper, but her thin lips were a little more sickly bloody because they kept biting, which looked a bit determined and firm.

"I am different from my third sister. I have been engaged to Mr. Xiao since I was a child. Since I was a child, I have been the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. No matter what happens, I will never regret it." Leng Mingshu raised her head and looked at Leng Sa with a determined expression.

"Do you think that human hearts are full of flesh. As long as you are wholeheartedly good to Xiao Haoran, he will be moved by you one day. When you have children, the Xiao family will always accept you?" Leng Sa revealed Leng Mingshu's thoughts with a glance.

Leng Mingshu was stunned for a moment, but did not deny it.

Leng Sa said: "I understand, I hope you will never regret it."

"I won't regret it."

He turned around and said to Master Leng Er and Mrs. Second Lady, "Dad, let's go back first."

Seeing that his daughter's face was not very good, Mr. Leng and his wife nodded and pulled Leng Sa to the yard of the second bedroom.

The few people left behind them all looked at each other. After a while, the third master hesitated and said, "This... did Yue'er agree to help?"

The third lady said, "It should... be right?"

Leng Yan looked at Leng Mingshu and frowned, "I'll go and ask my grandfather."

"Grandfather?" Leng Yan walked to the door and didn't dare to push the door directly, so he had to stand at the door and whisper.

A moment later, Old Master Leng's voice came from inside, "Yan'er, come in."

Leng Yan pushed open the door and walked in.

"Close the door."

Leng Yan closed the door as he spoke. Leng Yan could hardly see Old Master Leng's face in the dim flower hall.

"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?" Leng Yan asked with some concern, "Where is the third sister..."

Old Master Leng sighed, "It's okay, Yan'er, come here, grandfather has something to tell you."

"Yes." Leng Yan nodded and walked over obediently.
