3. Talk about conditions!

"Yue'er, what did you just want to say?" After seeing off the Fu family, Old Master Leng looked at Leng Sa and asked. Leng Sa looked up calmly and looked at him, and asked softly: "Grandfather, can you break off the engagement?"

"Bang!" The crutches in the old man Leng's hand were stalked on the ground. Master Leng and Master Leng Er couldn't help but tremble. Leng Sa was surprisingly calm. Old Man Leng looked at her, "Do you know what you are talking about?" Leng Sa nodded, "I know, although it is not nice to break the engagement now, it is not the fault of our Leng family. Now it is not as strict as before, at least..." At least no one will be forced to death because of breaking the engagement, unless he is unable to think about it and doesn't want to live.

Even most families will not do this. Now, forcing their daughters to change their marriages to death will not make people feel that the family rules are strict, but will only make people think that the family is not inhumane and seeks fame.

Old Master Leng sneered, "You think it's not your fault? It's not as harsh as before... It's just an ordinary family! Go and ask, that rich family is willing to marry a girl who has been broken up? And your sisters, your elder sister and second sister have just married for a few years. Ask them if they are having a good time at their in-laws' house? And your sisters and niece! Don't think that you can gain abilities after you have read a few more years."

"What does grandfather mean?"

After a while of silence in the hall, Old Master Leng said in a deep voice: "What Governor Fu said just now..."

"Old Master!" Mrs. Leng Er couldn't help but stand up, "This is not possible! The eldest young master of the Fu family..." The second wife had always been a little afraid of this father-in-law, but she had to stand up for her daughter. Mrs. Leng glanced at her, "What do you mean by a woman?"

Mrs. Leng'er felt sad. She was not qualified to say more about her daughter? It was said that it was a new era now, but there was no difference in the Leng family. It was still the only one of the old master Leng. If Yue'er hadn't been engaged to the fourth young master of the Fu family early, Old Master Leng would have been reluctant to let her go out to school. Even when she went to school, it was also what Yue'er had tried her best to fight with the old master. The one she chose was what Mr. Leng thought women should go to school, not the academy that Yue'er liked.

Leng Mingyue gently held the second wife's hand and patted her gently to show her not to worry. The second master looked at Old Master Leng with a serious expression, "Dad, this is not suitable. The Fu family is not particular about doing things. Should we follow us too... Where is the reason to hire a younger brother but marry an older brother? It's too ugly to spread this."

"Is it nice to be broken up? Who except Fu Leng's family has read the engagement letter?"

"..."Why do anyone need to see this with their own eyes? Didn't the marriage between the Fourth Young Master of the Fu family and the Third Young Miss Leng family have spread throughout Yongcheng long ago? The old man meant that if he didn't admit it, just pretend that there was nothing happening now? If they didn't admit it, would the people in Yongcheng forget it?

Leng Sa lowered her eyes and said, "I understand what my grandfather means."

Old Master Leng's expression was a little slow, "It's good that you understand. Grandfather is also for your own good. As Governor Fu said, after two years, you will be able to do anything you want. Even if you leave the Fu family, you will never have no support for the rest of your life."

Leng Sa smiled, "Grandfather, the Leng family could have been cleanly picked out from this matter. Fu Si's shamelessness is his business. What does it have to do with the Leng family? If you mess up like this... In another twenty years, people in Yongcheng will remember that the third lady of the Leng family was dismissed by the Fu family and was shameless to marry the disabled eldest master."

"I will naturally do this for you and will not let dirty water spill on you." Old Master Leng said.

Leng Sa shook his head, "Just as my grandfather said, people in the world are ignorant, who cares about your difficulties? They will only treat it as an interesting story and laughter in Yongcheng for decades."

Old Master Leng stared at Leng Sa, "What do you want? If you want to break the engagement, I advise you to die as soon as possible. The Leng family must not have a daughter who has been broken. Otherwise, your family of four will get out of the Leng family together!"

"Dad?" Master Leng Er looked at his father with a pale face. He didn't expect his father to say such words.

Leng Sa nodded, "It's not that the Leng family cannot have a daughter who has been dismissed, but that the Fu family cannot lose the in-laws."

Old Master Leng's turbid eyes suddenly became cold, just like the expression on his face.

"The Leng family has raised you for so many years. I don't ask you to do anything for the Leng family. At least... I can't drag the Leng family back. Second brother, do you understand?"

Master Leng Er was sweating heavily and begged with a pale face, "Dad, this matter won't be done... Isn't this ruining Yue'er's life?"

Old Master Leng said coldly: "What ruined her life? If she sent her to the capital or sent her abroad in two years, she would get married and have children. The boss of the Fu family is not like that now. What are you worried about? This will ruin her life. What are the girls who were sent to the palace for the sake of their family in the early years who would not be favored to death in the deep palace for their lifetime?"

Mr. Leng Er looked at his father blankly. He had no great ability and remained honest for half his life. Whether it was a husband, a son or a father, his father always said that they had a family background in the Leng family and a scholar's character, but what is what my father said now?

Leng Sa looked at her father who was obviously shattered in front of her with some sympathy, and sighed softly, "Since my grandfather has decided, I seem to have to obey it."

"Yue'er?!" Master Leng Er and Mrs. Second Lady said in surprise.

The expressions of Mr. Leng and the master next to him immediately calmed down. The master smiled and said, "Yu'er is still sensible. It was really not in vain to study when my father sent you to college."

Master Leng Er looked at Leng Sa anxiously: "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense, let's...

"Shut up!" Old Master Leng interrupted his son coldly, "Do you want to refuse to recognize your father, brothers and nephews, take your family out of the Leng family?"

Master Leng Er was speechless. If he really did this, their family would not be able to stay in Yongcheng at all. The world is not peaceful now. If he dragged his family to leave his hometown, what would he do if his son, who was only twelve years old and his weak wife?

"Dad..." Master Leng Er looked at his father beggingly.

"Dad, don't worry, I know this." Leng Sa said that, looking at Old Master Leng and smiled, "Grandfather, since I agree, then... let's talk about the conditions next."

There was silence in the hall.

"You want to negotiate with me...?" Old Master Leng looked at Leng Mingyue. This granddaughter was outstanding among the girls in the Leng family, both in appearance and intellect, but Old Master Leng has never liked her very much.

When he was a child, he couldn't remember it very clearly, but Leng Mingyue, who grew up, always gave Old Master Leng a sense of distantness or carelessness under her respectful appearance. This made Old Master Leng, who had always been accustomed to being arrogant and arbitrary, feel very uncomfortable. If Old Mrs. Fu hadn't had the birthday of this girl during her lifetime, Old Master Leng would never have allowed her to go to school to study, but she would have married her early.

Now, this girl actually said she wanted to negotiate terms with him?!

Leng Sa pulled the corner of his lips slightly, "I sacrificed my reputation and youth to marry into the Fu family, but the benefits were all for others. Shouldn't we talk about the conditions?"
