Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Chapter 119: Something happened! (Two more)

  Chapter 119 something happened! (Two more)

  Zheng Ying retreated from the tea room where Madam Fu and Madam Liang were talking, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  The Madam Liang looked straightforward and advancing, but the occasional look at her made Zheng Ying very uncomfortable.

  Such a look, Zheng Ying has felt it many times these days-it is a look of contempt, ridicule, and disdain.

  Many people even seem to flatter her with a mellow appearance and even flattery, turning their faces away from her invisible place, and still contemptuously curl their lips at her with contempt.

Like many people, Leng Mingyue can’t keep her fiance even if they are openly telling jokes, but at most they are just gloating and mocking and pitying a few words. They will not secretly use the eyes of a dangling (river crab) woman. Look at Leng Mingyue.

  Zheng Ying's expression was a little sad. She knew that no matter how proud she was on the surface, her reputation and eyes would follow her for many years.

  But... she can't regret it, she has made a choice and can only keep going. What's more, if even the superficial scenery is gone, and she guards Fu Fengcheng and lives hopelessly like Leng Mingyue, then it will be even more difficult for her to accept.

   turned around and walked out of the yard. The large garden of the Fu family was naturally not small, and it took a lot of thought back then. The natural scenery in the garden is beautiful and flourishing, and it is not inferior to the royal garden.

  It’s just that Zheng Ying has no intention of admiring the beauty in front of her. She doesn't dare to go too far, lest she can't find anyone when Mrs. Fu sends someone to look for her.

   "Madam, shall we go back and rest for a while?" Chun Juan whispered while supporting Zheng Ying.

  Zheng Ying shook his head, and pointed to the pavilion in front of him, “Let’s sit there for a while.”

  Looking at her appearance, Chun Juan couldn’t help complaining, “Mrs. Dayo is too irresponsible. I leave everything to you, and I don’t know where I went.”

  The young lady in her family has a big belly to deal with a large group of guests, and she has to pour tea and hand water beside her, but the healthy young lady does not know where to go on the way.

  Zheng Ying’s smile was a bit bitter, and the young lady was free to leave because she didn’t care about it, she didn’t plan to make friends with these noble ladies to gain their favor, nor was she afraid that Madam Fu would not like herself.

  But she can’t.

   "Okay, don't talk nonsense. You can arrange it too, Madam Young?" Zheng Ying whispered.

  Chunjuan was a little unconvinced, "It was originally, and the wife of the young and old won't say to help you take care of it on this occasion."

  Why should Leng Mingyue help her bear it?

  Ms. Fu’s attitude was plain and clear, if it weren’t for fear of outsiders talking about the banquet, I’m afraid she wouldn’t want Leng Sa to attend.

  With this attitude, how many of those winking ladies would risk making Mrs. Fu upset to make friends with Leng Mingyue? Leng Mingyue obviously also understood this truth very well, so she just watched the whole process and didn't mix it up at all.

  This way everyone will not be embarrassed.

   "Mrs. Four Young Masters." The two had just walked into the pavilion before they had time to sit down, and there was a somewhat cold female voice behind them.

  Zheng Ying remembered this voice the first time she heard it. After all, there are few women in this world whose voices are so arrogant, cold, and strong, and there is a trace of contempt and disdain that belongs to Zheng Ying in the strong.

   "Princess Chaoyang." Zheng Ying turned around, smiled and nodded to Xiao Nanjia who came by.

  Xiao Nanjia frowned and looked at her, "Do you know where Leng Sa went?"

  Zheng Ying was taken aback, "The princess is looking for the sister-in-law? The sister-in-law went out and never came back. I don't know where she went."

  Xiao Nanjia glanced at Zheng Ying with some dissatisfaction, her eyes seemed to say, "Why are you so useless?"

  Zheng Ying looked at Xiao Nanjia with a smile, as if she hadn’t noticed her disdain for herself.

   "Maybe the sister-in-law is tired and go back to rest first? If the princess is in a hurry, why not send someone to the sister-in-law's courtyard to ask?"

  Xiao Nanjia snorted softly, glanced at Zheng Ying and turned away.

   "I really don't know what a princess is so proud of!" Seeing Zheng Ying's grievances, Chun Juan couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

  Except for the really powerless ordinary people, not many people really put the royal family in their eyes.

  Don’t say it’s a princess, even if the prince can’t inherit the throne, if he is lucky, he can get a prince and receive a fixed fee every month. However, each year the cabinet allocates a fixed amount to the royal family. If the emperor gives birth to more or spends more, everyone will naturally get less money.

  As for the princess, there is nothing but a nice name and a dowry when she gets married. Even the title and treatment of the princess will be taken back after marriage and only retain the title of a princess.

  For example, Xiao Nanjia, after marrying, others can still call her princess, but there is no such thing as Chaoyang.

  Zheng Ying had a calm expression, and said lightly: "Stop talking, it's not good for people to hear. I heard that the royal family intends to marry the Zhang family."

   "Yes, Mrs. Shao."

   "Aying!" A girl hurriedly followed by Madam Zheng, and he was relieved when he saw Zheng Ying sitting in the pavilion.

   "Mother, what's the matter?"

  Ms. Zheng's expression was solemn, she glanced around and saw no one passing by, then she pulled Zheng Ying and said in a low voice, "Aying, something happened to your uncle!"

  "Uncle?" Zheng Ying was taken aback, and then she realized who Mrs. Zheng was talking about.

  Ms. Zheng’s surname, Xue, was originally from a merchant family in southern six provinces, but she did not expect that after marrying Zheng Ying’s father, Zheng Lian, her husband would gradually fade away. Zheng Lian's career in these years was able to go smoothly without the assistance of the Xue family. After the Zheng family got up, Zheng Lian did not forget to support his Yue family.

  Xue Bin is Mrs. Zheng’s eldest brother, and his ability is not bad. Over the years, he has gradually achieved the position of deputy chief of the Customs Department. If there is no accident, maybe he can sit on the position of the chief of the Customs Department in the past two years.

  "What happened to uncle?" Zheng Ying asked.

  Ms. Zheng said anxiously, "The news from Chunyan just now said...Your uncle was arrested."

  "Who is so brave to arrest people casually?" Zheng Ying was a little confused for a moment, and glanced at the girl standing next to Mrs. Zheng, "Chunyan, you said from the beginning!"

   Chunyan's face was dazed and panic, "Little...Miss, I don't know. Just now the uncle's wife called...that the uncle's master was taken away by someone who suddenly broke into the door early in the morning."

   "Who?" Zheng Ying asked, frowning, dissatisfied with the girl's vague answer.

  Chunyan said tremblingly, "It seems...like to be a policeman from the police station."

  The office of the Customs Department is not in Yongcheng. Instead, it has offices in Jiangcheng and Luozhou, which have sea ports near the coast. In fact, the General Administration of Yongcheng does not care about any specific affairs.

  Xue Bin is the deputy chief in charge of the Luozhou Customs, but even if he is far away in Luozhou, who doesn’t know that he is the brother-in-law of the Zheng family, how can the police station in Luozhou dare to arrest people for no reason?

  It is a coincidence that Zheng Ying immediately remembered what happened yesterday.

  Xue Bin just filed a complaint with Fu Fengcheng yesterday and was arrested today?

  Ms. Zheng was already at a loss, "Aying, what should we do? Let's go and beg your mother-in-law? Madam Fu must have a way!"

   "Mother!" Zheng Ying quickly grabbed Madam Zheng, "Mother, don't worry! Let's figure out what is going on before we can talk to Madam."

  Ms. Zheng nodded in a panic, "You are right, you are right! What else did the sister-in-law say on the phone? Did you say why the arrest was?"

  Chunyan whispered, "Those people... said that the uncle seized the customs clearance goods, accepted bribes, and... there were also smuggling profits."

  "How come? Big brother would never do this kind of thing!" Madam Zheng burst into tears, pulling Zheng Ying and said, "Aying, you must save your uncle, he must be framed!"

Zheng Ying's heart sank. She didn't know whether the other charges were true or false. But... the previous batch of Wei’s goods was indeed not seized for inspection as uncle said that the goods were wrong, but... deliberately detained his goods for the trouble of Wei Changxiu, and found that the things in it were not right. It was an accident.

  Zheng Ying didn’t know if Xue Bin did this kind of thing for the first time.

  If... Wei Jia bites on this one...

  Zheng Ying suddenly remembered something. It stands to reason that Fu Fengcheng was fined for purchasing equipment privately, but Fu Dujun did not make any statement to Wei Changxiu who helped him buy things and transport things. This is obviously abnormal.

  Is it just because Wei Jia’s family is so big that Fu Dujun doesn’t want to offend her?

  Zheng Ying shook his head, not right.

   "A Ying?" Madam Zheng saw Zheng Ying standing there motionless, shaking her head from time to time, not knowing what she was thinking, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "What are you still thinking about? Your uncle..."

  Zheng Ying frowned, "Mother, I know! You let me think about it. Does my father know the news?"

   "Someone has been sent to tell your father, you should know by now, right?"

  Zheng Ying nodded, "Understood, don't worry, I'll go to Yucheng first."

  "Not looking for Mrs. Fu?" Even Mrs. Zheng knew that Fu Yucheng had no real power in his hands now, and Mrs. Fu could really speak.

Zheng Ying's face was slightly dark, "Madam is talking to Supervisor Liang's wife. Would you let me go in and talk to her about this at this time? Don't worry, your uncle will be fine for a while, and there will be Madam Yucheng to help. I'll talk better over there."

Madam Zheng had no other way, so she sighed and said, "Okay, listen to you. Go ahead, I have to go back to see your father and see what your father plans to do." Madam Zheng couldn't help but say this. He reddened his eyes and wiped his tears, "Why did this happen well? Your uncle must have been wronged!"

  Ms. Zheng has had a good relationship with her elder brother since she was a child, and she's already panicked by now.

  Zheng Ying sighed in her heart, raised her hand and pressed her forehead to resist the dizziness and swelling to stay awake.

   "Mother, don't worry. Uncle will be fine." Zheng Ying looked at Mrs. Zheng and said softly.

   Despite saying that, Zheng Ying's mood grew gloomy somehow.
