Chapter 170 The Conscienceless General - Leng Jinse 1
"Miss, someone from the Liang Mansion has come again. They said...that their wife is sick." Yu Zhu walked cautiously to Xihe's side, lowered her head and eyebrows, and spoke in a respectful tone, for fear of disturbing Xihe's thoughts.
"If you are sick, go see a doctor. From now on, the affairs of the Liang family have nothing to do with us." Xihe frowned slightly and spoke in a flat tone.
"Yes, Miss." Yu Zhu immediately showed a bright smile on her face when she heard it. She responded respectfully and walked quickly towards the door.
It’s no wonder that Yuzhu is so happy. The Liang family really has too many things to do. Today they are short of medicine, and tomorrow they are short of charcoal for the winter.
They almost treated their house as their own warehouse. They came to ask for whatever they wanted. At first they were very polite, but now they are asking for everything with confidence.
Yuzhu walked outside the gate, looked at the people coming from Liang Mansion, and said directly: "Our young lady said that if you are sick, go find a doctor. It is useless to come to our young lady."
"You...you didn't tell your young lady that our lady was sick?" The servant of the Liang Mansion did not give up and asked again.
"I've already told you, please don't bother our young lady anymore." Yu Zhu grew impatient and said coldly, "Or maybe you just don't understand what I'm saying?"
Hearing Yuzhu's words, the servants in the Liang Mansion showed an embarrassed look on their faces. They nodded to Yuzhu and ran away like the wind.
"Two big brothers, please keep an eye on the gate. If anyone from the Liang family comes again, don't inform them."
"Yes, Miss Yuzhu." The gatekeeper smiled and responded to Yuzhu.
……
"Have you seen Miss Leng?" Butler Liang asked when he saw the servant returning in a hurry.
"No, don't mention it..." The man wiped the sweat from his head and said with a wry smile: "I haven't even entered the gate of the Leng family."
"What happened? Did you offend them?" Butler Liang asked hurriedly.
"No, no..." The servant sighed and told the story again.
"Come on, follow me to see the Madam." Butler Liang knew that something had happened, and this was not something he could decide.
"Yes."
"Greetings, Madam, Miss." Butler Liang hurriedly and respectfully greeted Madam Liang when he saw her.
"Butler, have you sent anyone to the Leng family?" Mrs. Liang, leaning on the couch, pretended to cough a few times and asked softly.
"In reply to Madam, I have sent someone to..." Butler Liang hesitated for a moment, and asked the servant behind him to tell him what happened in the Leng family.
Mrs. Liang's eyes widened immediately after hearing the words. As soon as Miss Liang heard the servant's words, she immediately stood up and stared at the servant and said:
"Did you say the wrong thing?"
"My lady, everything I said is true." The servant bowed hurriedly and replied.
"Xu'er, step back."
"Yes, mother." Liang Yun reluctantly retreated to her mother's side with an indignant look on her face.
"Help me up." Mrs. Liang said to the maid standing beside her.
"Yes, ma'am." The little maid hurried forward to help her up and considerately put a piece of clothing on her.
"Bring me pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. I want to write a letter."
"Yes." Someone immediately brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them on the desk beside her.
After the letter was written, dried, and packed, Mrs. Liang handed it to the housekeeper and instructed, "Go in person and make sure to deliver the letter."
"Yes, ma'am." The butler took it with both hands and put it in his arms. He bowed to Madam Liang and left in a hurry.
"Mom, Leng Jinse obviously doesn't want to take care of our family's affairs anymore. Why do you still want to write to her in person?" Liang Yu looked at her mother in confusion.
"Xu'er, you have to understand that our family has fallen on hard times. We can't even afford good quality brocade now. Do you think we can survive without Leng Jinse's care?"
"She won't take care of us anymore!"
"If she still remembers the friendship between your brother and them growing up together, she will definitely help us."
In fact, Mrs. Liang was not quite sure. She was comforting her daughter as well as herself.
Liang Xuan felt very uncomfortable when she thought that Leng Jinse would never take care of their family again.
Family members know their own affairs, and she also knows what her family is like.
……
When Butler Liang arrived at the Leng family, he was directly rejected by the gatekeeper. Not only was he not allowed to deliver a letter for him, he was not even allowed to say anything.
Butler Liang's mouth was almost worn out, but the two men remained unmoved. He knew that the Leng family was serious about this, so he had no choice but to take the letter and go back.
After hearing what the housekeeper said, Liang Yun and her daughter almost went crazy.
Without the Leng family's care, their family would be bullied to death in the capital city where powerful people are everywhere.
……
Originally the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang, her name was Leng Jinse. Because the Marquis' wife gave birth to three sons before she had a daughter, she was very favored in the family.
However, the couple also often went to the battlefield.
Leng Jinse mostly lived at her maternal grandparents' home, where she met General Liang's son. They grew up together and had a deep friendship.
General Liang died in battle because he was impeached for being greedy and reckless, which made the emperor dislike him.
The emperor despised them, and no one else would take them seriously.
Soon, the Liang family fell into poverty. In addition, Mrs. Liang had a chronic illness and needed to use precious medicinal herbs to maintain her health all year round. As a result, they had very little money left in the family.
After Liang Ji met Leng Jinse, he followed Leng Jinse's cousin to school and practiced martial arts.
Leng Jinse would give him some of her good things. With Leng Jinse's help, the Liang family was able to maintain the dignity of a wealthy family.
When Liang Ji came of age, he joined the army. Before leaving, he asked Leng Jinse to help take care of his family.
The young girl was in love, and Leng Jinse had developed a crush on Liang Yuan. She nodded and agreed to Liang Ji's request.
When Liang Ji saw Leng Jinse agreed, he immediately smiled and said that he would go and earn some military merit, and then come to their house to propose marriage.
After Liang Ji left, Leng Jinse really took his family to heart. She sent him long gowns in spring, ice in summer, fruits in autumn, and coal in winter...
It can be said that Leng Jinse almost covered all the food, clothing and expenses of the Liang family.
Leng Jinse even cared deeply about Liang Ji's sickly mother, hiring famous doctors and personally looking for medicinal herbs for her.
Two years later, the battle report from the border came back. Pingyang Hou was shot dead on the battlefield for collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country.
The women of the three clans were sent to the military camp to serve as consorts. Before the Leng family could react, they were escorted on the road.
As they were leaving the city, they met Liang Ji, who had returned victorious. He sat upright on his horse, a cruel smile on his face as he watched Leng Jinse being pushed around.
She wanted to shout, but before she could even utter a word, Liang Ji rode away.
Leng Jinse didn't understand why he pretended not to see her.
