Chapter 249: Leng Xian Leng Xin chooses between benefits and disadvantages
At this moment, Zhongshun's heart was also cold.
If the master is good, the servant will be good;
If the master is not good, how can the servant be good?
This imperial edict is more like a mockery from the emperor than a punishment or a favor from the emperor!
It can be seen that in the eyes of the emperor, his master is nothing.
What hope do I have as a servant following a master who is nothing?
Leng Xian's body was shaking and he could barely stand.
Zhongshun had no choice but to help Leng Xian to the bed and let him lie down first.
Seeing Leng Xian lying back on the bed and closing his eyes, Zhongshun quietly left the room.
After all this trouble, he hasn't even had lunch yet.
Zhongshun looked back at his room again, smiled bitterly, turned around and went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat, at least to fill his stomach first.
Leng Xian lay alone in this simple hut, eyes closed, scenes from the past and present flashing through his mind.
He thought of Fu Baozhen again.
Fu Baozhen is so beautiful, so gentle, and so virtuous.
Fu Baozhen would not scratch his face and make him look humiliated;
Fu Baozhen brought him wealth and honor;
He also believed that Fu Baozhen would not abandon him when he was in trouble.
As for the Yin family, they were full of calculations, plots, greed, and viciousness.
Leng Xian wondered how he was controlled by Yin.
How come you became obsessed with it?
Why did you abandon Fu Baozhen?
It is the Yin family that I should abandon.
However, Yin was like a leech or a poisonous snake, clinging to him tightly and he couldn't get rid of her!
And his mother was greedy for the wealth that Fu Baozhen brought, but was unwilling to have a daughter-in-law from a high-class family living over her head.
No matter how gentle and virtuous this daughter-in-law is, she still brings a sense of oppression to his mother, Mrs. Yin. She feels humble and cannot stand up straight.
She would rather have a niece from her mother's family who was inferior to Fu Baozhen in every way as her daughter-in-law. After all, the Yin family depended on the Marquis Qinxing Mansion for survival.
Her niece from her mother's side tried her best to please her aunt.
She felt that in front of her niece from her mother's side, she was both a member of a noble family and an elder, and she could look down on her daughter-in-law with confidence and pride.
Of course, she wanted her niece from her mother's side to be her daughter-in-law, but she needed Fu Baozhen's dowry.
Leng Xian sighed...
It’s all Yin’s fault!
It’s all my mother’s fault!
……
Leng Xian kept saying the same thing to himself over and over again.
As if he had never done anything wrong.
On the contrary, he is the most tragic victim!
And Fu Baozhen’s death was just one of the reasons that made him even more miserable!
Leng Xian gave himself enough psychological hints and self-comfort, then fell asleep as if to escape.
It was almost dusk when Leng Xian woke up.
Leng Xian began to ask Zhongshun again and again...Has Liu Da come back? Has Liu Da come back?
Zhongshun didn't dare to say anything, but he was already very annoyed in his heart!
If Liu Da comes back, can he still find a corner to play hide-and-seek without showing up?
Is it necessary to ask again and again?
Even when the lights were turned on in the room, Liu Da still hadn't returned.
For dinner, there was steamed buns, porridge, fried black fungus and a few slices of bacon.
Leng Xian didn't even dare to ask, how many days could the mansion last with this kind of food?
It was already nightfall, long past the time for closing the city gates, but Liu Da still hadn't returned.
Leng Xian completely gave up.
He knew that if Liu Da didn't come back at this time, it meant that he didn't have time to enter the city gate and must have been locked outside the city!
Then he could only... wait until dawn.
But even if it’s dawn...
When the day breaks, can we catch the thieves?
When the day breaks, can all the lost properties be found intact?
Will we have money when the sun rises?
Leng Xian was lying in the dark hut.
For a moment, Leng Xian felt like he was abandoned by the world!
It was as if he was the only one left in the world!
Yes, Leng Xian was abandoned by everyone, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
His legitimate wife, Fu Baozhen, is no longer alive;
His mother...I heard that she had a stroke, her mouth is crooked, her eyes are slanted, and she has incontinence.
He has never visited Yi'an Hall.
He didn't want to see it.
What's the use of seeing it?
Can you please ask the doctor to treat my mother? He couldn't afford even a tael of silver to pay the consultation fee.
What's more, he felt more and more that he resented his mother, and even hated her!
It was his mother who forced her niece Yin to be his!
And his current wife Yin...
Let's just assume that Yin was his wife, but at this time, this wife abandoned her husband and returned to her parents' home with her two children.
Leaving him alone in this empty mansion, no matter what he will face?
What about the children?
His daughter, whom he regarded as the apple of his eye, and his darling son, whom he regarded as the only descendant of the Leng family, both followed Yin and left without hesitation, abandoning him!
In fact, even if they stayed, it would be of no use at all.
But their departure made Leng Xian extremely sad.
Then think about your eldest daughter Leng Rongyue who was neglected by you and allowed to be bullied by your mother, Yin, and Leng Yixing's brother and sister.
At present, she is the only one who is completely unaffected by the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion, and is also pampered and doted on by her in-laws' family.
Her grandmother and two aunts also accompanied her on the trip and stayed at the farm for a while to relax.
Her maternal family, the Duke of Anguo Mansion, is her most powerful support.
She is also the future Princess Yu and the future daughter-in-law of the Emperor and Empress.
She had no worries about food, clothing, or money, and no one came to her door to collect debts...
No matter how much Leng Xian didn't want to think about it, he had to admit -
This eldest daughter of mine should be the one who lives the most relaxed and comfortable life.
Maybe... this is retribution!
After thinking so much, Leng Xian did not think of reflecting on himself, nor did he feel a trace of guilt or self-blame.
He just became more determined.
He must hold on to Leng Rongyue!
Even if Leng Rongyue and the Anguo Mansion asked him to abandon his mother, the Yin family, and even Leng Yixing and his sister!
As long as Leng Rongyue is here, he has everything and he will never have to worry about anything!
