Chapter Ninety-Five: The Leng Family Declines
The snow of the moon dyed the Lotus Fragrance City a pure white, and a carriage drove past the door of the cold house, and the jujube-colored horses snorted at the empty gate, and turned their faces away with disdain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
The Chinese New Year is coming, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere, but it is as cold as a grave in front of the cold house.
"This has to start with the fact that the third young master of the Leng family was kidnapped a month ago......" The storyteller in the stands stroked his beard and said in a colorful voice.
On the upper seat on the second floor, a young girl poured herself a glass of warm wine, and a maroon-haired demon jumped down her shoulder, unceremoniously snatched the cup, and drank it to herself: "Things are going quite smoothly." β
"Now that the Leng family is poor, even the ancestral house has to be taken out to offset it, but unfortunately no one dares to buy it, saying that they are afraid of bad luck!" There was a lot of gossip from the audience.
"But no, I heard that first the fiancΓ©e disappeared, and then the third young master Leng disappeared, by the way, a while ago, it seemed that the fifth girl Leng died of illness inexplicably. Do you say it's mysterious? β
Miss Xia took the finger of the wine bottle and asked Ji Ze, "Has Leng Qianhua gone back?" β
Yoshizawa erases the vision, and in the picture, a man staggers into the gate of Leng's house, which is empty, and the snow on the ground is not cleaned.
He held on to the pillars of the verandah, obviously shocked, the once magnificent Leng family mansion has now become like this, anyone will be shocked.
Approaching a person from the other side of the verandah, he first took a step back in fear, and when he saw the person clearly, he immediately rushed towards him: "Third brother! You're back! Save your big brother, he was taken away by the people in the casino, saying that they would sell him into slavery to pay off his debts! β
"Second brother, where is my father?" Leng Qianhua settled down, trying not to let himself fall, he has been under house arrest in Xia's house for this time, he doesn't know anything about what happened outside, but every day he sees Miss Xia going out early and returning late, occasionally having a meal with him, and not mentioning a word about the Leng family, but he didn't think that it had become such a field.
The second young master cried with a handful of snot and tears: "My mother is still holding on, my father doesn't know when he was robbed, and his whereabouts are unknown, this is going to kill my cold family!" β
Leng Qianhua suddenly remembered what Miss Xia had said to him, and wondered if she had taken her father away to treat him?
She probably won't break her word......
Thinking like this, he calmed down a little and comforted the second young master to visit Mrs. Leng in the backyard together.
"Mother." As soon as Leng Qianhua sat down on the edge of her bed, Mrs. Leng sat up like a corpse, crying out with old tears.
chattered about how miserable these days were, and at the end, blamed: "It's all your fault for being missing, otherwise, where would my old wife suffer this crime!" β
Leng Qianhua was a little chilled when he heard this, he had been missing for a month, and after he came back, his mother didn't ask him if he had suffered, but just blamed him for letting the Leng family decay and cause her to suffer.
Suppressing his emotions, he calmed down, remembering that he didn't see Li Churou when he passed by Dongyuan, so he asked, "Does mother know where Churou is?" β
Hearing this, Mrs. Leng immediately stopped crying, spat and scolded: "That little slut immediately packed up and left when he saw that our Leng family was down, and I heard that he had gone north to return to the imperial city." β
"...... the baby in her belly?" Leng Qianhua was stunned and asked again.
Mrs. Leng's eyes turned red again, and she cursed while wiping her tears: "That ruthless little, I don't recognize her as the daughter-in-law of the Leng family at all, and secretly drank medicine to kill my grandson, what a cruel heart!" β
"Kid, gone?" Leng Qianhua's eyes widened in disbelief, he didn't believe that Li Churou would be so ruthless no matter what, remembering that she had told her love for her over and over again, her tears were so real, and the words she spit out were nothing but sweet lies.
"Leave that slut alone, hurry up and find a way to get some money back, the house is almost out of the pot, do you want to starve me to death?" Impatience appeared between Mrs. Leng's eyebrows, urging.
How could Leng Qianhua think that he, a mother who is usually "kind and kind", actually sold his fourth sister to an old man in his seventies as a concubine for money! For him, he naturally has the idea of using it if it can be used, and selling it for money if it can't be used.
Pursing her lips and being silent for a long time, Leng Qianhua scavenged the last money on her body and handed it to Mrs. Leng.
Mrs. Leng, who was originally sick, took the money bag with a quick move, and didn't intend to leave it to him.
Leng Qianhua frowned, and said, "Mother, I'm going to the imperial city, can you leave some travel expenses for me?" β
"You're so ruthless! Didn't you see that you can't open the pot at home? Are you going to starve your mother and me? Mrs. Leng suddenly turned her face and scolded.
Leng Qianhua saw that she was protecting the money bag tightly, knowing that it was impossible to come back, so she sighed and prepared to leave.
Walking to the door, Mrs. Leng hurriedly stopped him again: "What are you doing in the imperial city?" β
"I'll pick up the young lady back." Leng Qianhua still wanted to ask Li Churou in person why she killed their children, why she ran back to the imperial city alone, wasn't she the wife he was marrying Leng Qianhua Mingmei?
"Don't pick it up, didn't you hear what happened outside? I advise you to inquire first, then collect your heart, and quickly find a way to revive the Leng family. Mrs. Leng's cool voice came from behind her, which was even more chilling than the oncoming cold wind.
"My son got it." Clenching his fists, Leng Qianhua hurriedly left the Leng family.
Erasing the illusion, Yoshizawa smacked his lips and said, "I feel that Leng Qianhua is their family's tool to make money, I guess he is coming here, will he meet us?" β
"Do you think he might sit down in the upper seat with no money?"
After drinking for a while, he saw Leng Qianhua who looked hurried at the door of the restaurant.
Xiao Er came to greet him, but he shook his head in embarrassment.
Miss Xia couldn't bear it, so she gave someone silver, saying that she had paid for the wine of the boy downstairs.
Xiao Er led Qian Mei down with a smile, and when he walked to the door, Leng Qianhua was being sent out by Xiao Er, but fortunately, he came in time and respectfully invited him in.
Miss Xia saw Leng Qianhua looking around, and hurriedly retracted her head and hid behind the bead curtain.
When Leng Qianhua sat down, the people on the stage happened to talk about Li Churou's return to the imperial city.
"In other words, this imperial city beauty Li Churou is also a legend, how many famous nobles are scrambling to laugh at the Pomeranians, but it's a pity that creation makes people ......."
"It is said that Miss Li had love-hate entanglements with many nobles in the imperial city, as for why she finally married the third young master Leng of the little merchant family, it is unknown, but the hat on the third young master Leng is so green that it shines."
The audience suddenly erupted in ridicule.
Miss Xia noticed that Leng Qianhua poured a few glasses of wine, and he must have felt very sad in his heart.
"No, not long after the third young master Leng disappeared, the Leng family's business went wrong, and Miss Li immediately beat the child and returned to the imperial city, guess what?" The storyteller sold a pass, and the people in the audience immediately urged dissatisfiedly. (To be continued.) )
