LIGHTNOVELONLINE “Everyone knows that Leng Yuhe is fierce. He never has a woman and never expresses his feelings. Now, he’s so nice to a woman from an ordinary family in front of so many people…”
“What exactly are you trying to say? You secretly stop me here. Do you just want to dig at me, my dear sister?”
Su Zhiyou snorted and blew her nails, continuing, “Don’t call me sister. You were not qualified in the past, and you will not be qualified in the future.”
Su Ruoqing smiled indifferently. “Sister, you are wrong. Once upon a time, you looked down on me in the Su Family, while I didn’t have any support at that time. If you said that I was not qualified then, I would admit it, but now, everything is different, so you can’t say that to me anymore.”
It was time for the guests to leave, and some of them came to the gate of the assembly hall. Su Zhiyou was guilty and afraid that their secret would be discovered, so she turned around to leave in a hurry. “Let’s talk inside.”
Su Ruoqing followed Su Zhiyou back to the hall and saw Leng Yuhe who was looking for her. Then she had an idea.
“Honey, I’m here.”
“Ruoqing, where have you been?”
“When I walked out with Ming Zhu just now, I saw my sister, so I talked with her. I am sorry to make you worry about me.” Su Ruoqing stuck out her tongue, looking obedient and shy.
“I haven’t finished talking with my sister yet. We want to go in and chat for a while. Can I?”
Today, Ruoqing looked like a different person, and her speech and style were so different from before. Leng Yuhe was confused, but his doubts immediately dissipated, as the “sister” standing next to her had already accounted for everything.
Although Leng Yuhe absolutely couldn’t bear to be used by others, if it was Ruoqing, he would be willing to turn a deaf ear for once, as he was clear that his fiancee was very smart. Since she wanted to do something, then of course he would help her.
Thinking about it, Leng Yuhe showed a spoiled smile on his face and kissed Su Ruoqing’s forehead. “Okay, just do whatever you want. But come back quickly, or I’ll miss you.”
Surprised at the cooperation of Leng Yuhe, Su Ruoqing was moved.
Su Zhiyou saw clearly what happened in front of her. Although she did not want to believe it, seeing was believing. And Leng Yuhe’s love seemed genuine, so the flames of jealousy burnt in her heart.
Only Su Ruoqing and Su Zhiyou were left there, so Su Ruoqing said, “Okay, sister, there will definitely be no one here to disturb us. Say what you want.”
“I didn’t expect that Leng Yuhe really falls in love with you. I don’t know why the young general has such bad taste. There are so many noble ladies, but he gave up all of them and chose you.”
Su Ruoqing smiled. “Sister, I’m afraid you are wrong. Leng Yuhe doesn’t have deep feelings for me. The reason that he is with me is mostly because of the elders’ agreement. If there was no engagement, he would never have treated me so well.”
Su Zhiyou’s expression was a little stiff. “Really?”
“Certainly. Leng Yuhe values the initial promise and also guarantees that he will have only one wife in his life. So no matter whether he truly loves me or not, I will firmly keep the position of the Leng Family’s young madam for a lifetime and enjoy the glory and wealth carefreely. I will even become the mistress of the family in the future, but I need to thank you for all these.”
Su Ruoqing knew well about Su Zhiyou, knowing that the most important thing to her was just an honorable life.
So she just deliberately boasted her current happy life so that her sister would envy her, so that she could start all the plans.
Sure enough, Su Zhiyou was silent for a long time after listening. “What are you thanking me for?”
“Of course, I want to thank you for giving up your engagement at that time, so that I could have the opportunity to join the Leng Family in the place of you. Of course, I also want to thank our parents. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been the same as I am today. I never dreamed about getting engaged to a promising young general with glory.”
Su Ruoqing said casually. Although she was burning with rage, she didn’t show a hint on her face. Her carefully planned words really confused Su Zhiyou and made her think that Su Ruoqing’s luck was given by her.
After thinking about it for a long time, Su Zhiyou held up the last bit of momentum. “I don’t need your gratitude. Just consider it all a kind of charity.” With that, she quickly left, as if she was fleeing.
Seeing that her words impacted Su Zhiyou so greatly, Su Ruoqing was a little excited. If things could go smoothly as she planned, then she could soon avenge herself…
Su Ruoqing calmed down and returned to the hall, looking for Leng Yuhe.
“Thank you for helping me just now.”
“I will naturally protect my woman. As long as you are sensible and obedient, I will help you do whatever you want.”
Before they finished speaking, Leng Yulin walked over and said, “Congratulations, now you are my real sister-in-law.”
Knowing that the two brothers were on good terms, Su Ruoqing smiled and answered, “Thanks, brother.”
“Father is not feeling well and wants to leave first. I came to tell you.”
“Got it.”
After the military governor and his people left, the engagement ceremony was drew to an end.
In the military governor’s house.
The military governor rested early as he didn’t feel well. At the same time, only Leng Yulin and his mother were left in the main hall.
“Mother, you were very different at the ceremony just now… Did you decide that you would stop making things difficult for Yuhe?”
“What a silly child. The reason that I didn’t make any comments is not because I accepted Leng Yuhe. The main reason is because of his fiancee.”
Leng Yulin was confused to hear that, and his mother went on after stroking her hair.
“With Leng Yuhe’s methods, if he marries a noble lady who has a strong family background as his wife, he would be like a tiger with wings. It will be difficult to bring him down. Now he is engaged to such a wild woman without any background, and he would have no more backup. Even if your means are still inferior to his in the future, as long as you find a wife with a large family’s support, plus the plans that your mother has done for you for years, the Leng Family will be under our control in the future.”
As if she could see the scene of them in control of the Leng Family in the future, the concubine kept up a steady stream of chatter.
After listening to her, Leng Yulin felt quite disappointed. After all these years, no matter how he stressed to his mother that he was not interested in power, she seemed to be obsessive, constantly targeting Yuhe, saying that it was for his own good, but she didn’t know that this was not what he wanted at all…
Out of mind, Leng Yulin ignored his mother’s voice behind him and went straight back to his room. Sometimes, he really wanted to be born in an ordinary family and have a gentle and kind mother.
Su Zhiyou, who had returned to the Su Family’s residence, was also in a state of absence, with Su Ruoqing’s words on her mind all the time. If it was really like she said, then she must have suffered a great loss and have given away a really good opportunity.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she was, and the flames of jealousy almost swallowed her. All of these originally belonged to her, and Su Ruoqing, that bitch had stolen and robbed them from her, and she was not worthy at all.
Looking at Su Zhiyou, who was sitting at the table only frowning but not eating, her parents felt confused. Then they kept calling her for a long time before getting a response.
“Zhiyou, what’s wrong with you? You haven’t eaten anything and seem to have lost your mind.”
“Yes. If you have something, just tell Mother. Don’t make me worry.”
Her parents rushed to show their concern and reminded Su Zhiyou of Su Ruoqing’s words. If they didn’t insist on telling Su Ruoqing to replace her, then she would be the young madam of the Leng Family who was engaged to Leng Yuhe with glory today… The resentment in her heart grew, but she didn’t feel that she was wrong.
“I have no appetite. I’m not eating anything.” Ignoring her parents’ concern, she pushed the chair and then ran out of the house.
Her mother quickly followed her and cried in anxiety, “Zhiyou, where are you going at this time of night?” Su Zhiyou had already run away, and what responded to the elder was merely silence.
Halfway on the road, Su Zhiyou met Ming Zhe. After seeing who it was, she couldn’t help but cry and bury her head in his arms.
“Ming Zhe, I have nothing left, except you.”
As Su Zhiyou cried, Ming Zhe felt sad for her. “Zhiyou, why are you still outside alone so late at night? Do you know how dangerous it would be if you didn’t meet me? Tell me what happened, okay?”
Su Zhiyu managed to stop crying in Ming Zhe’s gentle comforting voice, but no matter how he asked, she refused to tell him the real reason for her crying because she knew in her heart that she could not.
After losing the chance to marry Leng Yuhe, Su Zhiyou was left with Ming Zhe only. Although the Ming Family couldn’t compare with the Leng Family, it was still rich at least, and Ming Zhe acted upon whatever she said, but if he knew that she still had illusions about marrying into the Leng Family, the situation would be uncertain.
She made up her mind and sobbed in Ming Zhe’s arms for a long time, like a spoiled child, only saying that it was Su Ruoqing who bullied her after she became the young general’s fiancee. Then she refused to say more.
Although Ming Zhe thought that with Su Ruoqing’s character, she would not be like this, but he couldn’t resist Su Zhiyou’s gentle words with coquetry, so he didn’t want to find the truth of the matter and tried his best to coax the woman in his arms.
It wasn’t until midnight that he drove Su Zhiyou home.
In the young general’s house.
After a busy day of the engagement, Leng Yuhe and Su Ruoqing finally returned home.
The guards and the maids didn’t call Su Ruoqing Miss Su, but Madam when they greeted her, making her feel strange, but she was joyful in secret.
Both of them were already very tired, and they washed up and simply ate something to fill their stomachs under the maid’s service. Afterward, they lay comfortably on the bed together.
The couple were wearing light pajamas and lying close to each other, as if they could feel the temperature of each other, and the air around them was a bit intoxicating.
Leng Yuhe pinched Su Ruoqing’s fingers and kept fiddling with them. “How do you feel, fiancee?”
“I feel it’s a little unrealistic.”
“Tell me.”
Su Ruoqing steadied her mood and finally decided to bravely tell Leng Yuhe about all the thoughts on her mind.
