Being a Lady of an Influential Family - Chapter 5-1

The Fu family did not live in a spacious and bright mansion like many Yong city upstarts, but the old Fu family mansion covered a huge area in the city. There was one house in the deepest part of the backyard, the windows of a dark room were closed tightly. Even if the sun was shining on the windows, there was still no light in the study room.

A dark figure sat silently in a corner of the study room, slightly lowering his head as if he had fallen asleep.

The door of the study room was gently pushed open from the outside. A ray of light shone into the room and quickly disappeared.

“Young… Young Master.” A tall, handsome young man stood at the door, and spoke respectfully facing the figure in the corner.

There was no response for a while, the young man wanted to step forward to check with some worry, when he heard a cold voice, “What’s the matter?”

The young man breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, “The Military Governor..In the front yard, the military governor has just whipped the fourth young master with thirty whips.”

“……” He kept silent, and the young man felt that the air pressure in the study room almost suffocated him. But he couldn’t help but say the main topic. When he remembered what he had been ordered to say, the young man couldn’t help but feel a little bit unwilling, “Young Master, the Master and Madam…”

“What do they want me to do?”

The young man’s heart jumped, “The Leng family has refused to cancel the marriage, and the Lord hopes… you will marry the third Miss of the Leng family.”

Once again, a long silence followed. Just when the young man thought that the other party would not reply again, he heard him sneer, “Granddaughter of the emperor’s grand tutor… Is this because they are afraid no one will marry me? And that this will satisfy both sides?”

This time, the man standing at the door was silent.

According to his understanding of the lord, he was afraid that it may not have this meaning, otherwise the lord would always have a way to appease the Leng family even if he didn’t want to offend the emperor’s teacher.

With Young Master’s current condition, if it was just to get a wife, naturally there would be so many people willing to send their daughter over. But if it was really to marry a high-profile wife, it just wouldn’t be easy. The third Miss of the Leng family was liked by the Old Madam when she was alive. Although the Leng family has declined, it still has a good foundation, and the Fu family is not desperate for either power or money. Having a good background, the Third Miss of the Leng family herself was a student of Anlan University and a famous beauty in Yong city. No one would have a problem if she were to be the daughter-in-law of the Fu family.

“Young Master, Lord…” the young man hesitated, as he didn’t know what to say. The accident six months ago was too cruel for Young Master. It was worse than crumbling into the dust. Now his fiancee was pregnant with his brother’s child… The young man had questioned himself, are the Fourth Young Master and Miss Zheng really in love? One of these two just came back from the capital and the other was in Yong city. When did they fall in love?

“The Lord said, to let you think about the Old Madam. The biggest wish of the Old Madam and the Old Master during their lifetimes was to see the young master to have a family… The Fourth Young Master was unreasonable to do this, but it was not Miss Leng’s fault. The lord also saw it personally that it was Miss Leng… everything about her is good, and can do well as Mrs. Fu.”

“Only afraid that I, Fu Fengcheng, is not good enough to be Leng family’s son-in-law.” Fu Fengcheng sneered in the dark, “What are they thinking, to let a perfectly good girl marry a disabled person? Are they trying to compensate them, or tricking them again?”

The young man sighed, “It was the Leng family who disagreed with canceling the marriage, and the Third Miss of Leng family has already agreed as well. If you agree, only then will this matter… be settled. Young master, I’m afraid that the Old Master of the Leng family… Family wouldn’t agree with canceling the marriage.”
