Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Chapter 392: In the past!

  Chapter 392 The Past!

   Zhuo Lin’s life is legendary for women of this era. She was born in the Sheng family, a famous family in the south. Although the Sheng family was already sunset when Zhuo Lin was born, the old saying goes that the slender camel is even more so than Martha. What's more, the Sheng family is only in decline, and it is far from dying.

  At that time, the name Luochuan Sheng was enough to make people look up high. The Sheng family has two daughters in Zhuo Lin's generation, namely Sheng Zhuoyan and Sheng Zhuolin, the eldest daughter. The two sisters are only four years apart, and they have been in excellent relationships since they were young, but unlike the dignified and virtuous eldest lady, Zhuo Lin has been a little rebellious since she was a child.

  This rebellion does not mean how naughty she is, but that her ideas are always incompatible with the century-old family like Sheng Jia.

  Sheng Zhuoyan has been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy since she was a child. And Zhuo Lin, who is four years younger than her, can only be considered to have some talents, not because she is not as smart as her sister, but because she always tries to skip class. Then secretly hid outside the classroom where the boys of the Sheng family listened, or hid in the master's study room of the Sheng family to read.

At that time there was already a public elementary and middle school, but Zhuo Lin never went to elementary school, even in middle school for only two years, but with her own ability, when she was fifteen years old, she was admitted to Anlan Women’s University in Yongcheng. . At first, the Sheng family didn't object to her going to university too much, because it was not a bad thing to go to Anlan University as a popular ethos for wealthy daughters, but it could be regarded as a very decent resume.

  Zuo Lin entered school at the age of fifteen and graduated early at the age of seventeen. Not only did she excel in her subjects during school, she even mastered two foreign languages ​​completely.

  It was in this year that the Sheng family was preparing to get engaged to Zhuo Lin, and the selected object was a good match for the Sheng family. But this matter was met with fierce opposition from Zhuo Lin. After failing to communicate with her family, Zhuo Lin escaped from the Sheng's house, and then sent a letter to the Sheng's family and the people who were about to be engaged to express her position.

  Then she went north alone, changed her name to Yi with the help of the Long family, and entered Jingcheng University for further study.

Although Zhuo Lin went to college in Yongcheng, she and Fu Dujun actually met in the capital. At that time, Dujun Fu was already a young talent with a small reputation and strength. When working in the capital, he ran into Zhuo Lin and pursued it in a frantic love at first sight.

   Zhuo Lin was also famous at that time. In the past two years, Zhuo Lin was actually quite low-key in order to avoid the Sheng family. But the Fu Dujun at that time was not the middle-aged Fu Dujun now, and the Fu Dujun who had not yet established himself was also a tall man. In fact, he was an extraordinary man. Moreover, his military strength at the time was no longer weak, and his friendship with Prince Longyuemu, Deputy Chief Lu, and even the emperor, was naturally extremely attractive to people's attention.

  At this time, people discovered that there is such a woman in the capital who values ​​both beauty and talent. Fortunately, the young man who was going to be engaged to Zhuo Lin at that time was already married, so there is no need to be too evasive.

  The love of beauty is common to everyone, and Fu Dujun is not the only one who chased Zhuo Lin.

  But in the end, I don’t know why Zhuo Lin chose Fu Dujun. They fell in love for half a year and got married smoothly. However, the Sheng family did not agree with the marriage of the two. In the view of the Sheng family, although Fu Dujun was small and powerful, he was born in a troubled time and was precarious. Not to mention that the Fu family itself is just a small wealthy merchant's house. How can it be worthy of the Sheng family of scholarly officials for generations?

  But Zhuo Lin had decided to marry Fu Dujun. The old lady of the Sheng family expelled Zhuo Lin from the Sheng family in anger and declared that there would be no such person in the Sheng family.

  After two more peaceful days, Zhuo Lin stayed in Beijing to teach at Beijing University. Fu Dujun often traveled between Beijing and Yongcheng.

  Until...Because of Mrs. Fu’s intervention, the marriage between the two suddenly divorced did not come to an end.

  In the study, Leng Sa leaned against Fu Fengcheng's arms and the two looked at the documents Xu Shaoming had just sent. "The person that the Sheng family was going to be engaged to for Ms. Zhuo was Zhang Xiang?!" Leng Sa was a little surprised and authentic.

  Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "No, Zhang Xiang and his late wife were engaged since childhood and got married very early. It is the second master of the Zhang family, Zhang Zuo."

  Leng Sa took a closer look, sure enough.

   "I remember Huizhi said that the second master of the Zhang family is in very bad health." Leng Sa frowned.

   Fu Fengcheng nodded and said, "Yes, when Zhang Erye was nine years old, he slipped into a pond and injured his body in the winter. He contracted a strange disease a few years earlier, and he hasn't come out for many years."

Leng Sa frowned and was a little puzzled. "The Sheng family promised her daughter to someone who is not in good health?" If it is a person like Zhang Bi, it would be a good match, but Sheng Jia knows that Zhang Erye is not in good health. Why would she love her daughter? Do you want to marry your daughter to the Zhang family?

Fu Fengcheng said calmly: "The Sheng family married their eldest daughter to the Wei family. If it were placed a hundred years ago, the Wei family would not even be eligible to marry the concubine of the Sheng family, let alone the eldest daughter. That's why. The Sheng family did not agree to Ms. Zhuo marrying the old man. The Fu family at that time was not qualified to marry the Sheng family's daughter."

  The Wei family still has money somehow, and the Fu family doesn’t even have much money.

  No, it should be said that Fu Dujun, who was still in the entrepreneurial period, was actually very poor.

   Leng Sha couldn't help but tweeted, "No wonder Ms. Zhuo is going to run."

  Moreover, Ms. Zhuo didn't escape after getting engaged or before getting married. She ran away before getting engaged, which can be said to be quite decisive.

  Leng Sa pulled over the file and continued to look down.

   Zhuo Lin and Fu Dujun went abroad with the school’s visiting team after their divorce. Three months later, they returned to the capital, and since then they have been living in the Long’s mansion in Beijing.

In the second month after the palace change, Zhuo Lin returned to Luochuan, and since then officially broke with the Sheng family to study abroad again. After returning from abroad two years later, he went directly to the North Four Provinces, and Zhuo Lin spent most of the next two decades in the North Four Provinces.

In the past 20 years, Zhuo Lin has done a lot of work. She worked as a reporter and editor in a newspaper, as an ordinary employee in a company, and as an interpreter for foreigners. When the Dragon Commander just captured the four northern provinces, she worked as an assistant to the Dragon Commander. Assist in managing affairs. Later, I went to another place, starting from a small assistant to the county magistrate and continuing to be the governor of Yunzhou.

Looking at the thick resume in front of him, Leng Sa couldn't help but admire him.

  Not to mention this era, even in her previous life, there are not many women who can be independent, strong and capable like Zhuo Lin.

  Especially after Zhuo Lin entered the officialdom, Anxia's officialdom was definitely not friendly to women, even if she had the Dragon Warlord behind her, it was of no use.

  If Zhuo Lin is just an assistant to Long Xiao, even if she has great power, then no one will care. Because no matter how capable she is, in the eyes of those men, it is just a vase next to Long Xiao. Relying on Long Xiao's love to act recklessly, such a beauty is not uncommon throughout the ages.

  However, once Zhuo Lin wants to truly enter the officialdom to compete with them, Zhuo Lin will become their enemy, the enemy of all of them.

  No matter how hard she worked and how high achievements she had made, in the eyes of these men, Zhuo Lin would only think that Zhuo Lin was on top of her special relationship with Long Xiao. The higher the status of Zhuo Lin, the more unbearable the rumors. At the back, even Long Xiao couldn't withstand everyone's pressure and then lift Zhuo Lin up.

  As a result, Yunzhou became a place for officials from the four northern provinces to brush their political achievements.

  Anyway, even if a pig is the governor, as long as the deputy chief is Zhuo Lin, there is no need to worry that the pig has no political achievements. Zhuo Lin has served as the deputy governor of Yunzhou for twelve years, and has sent away six governors successively, and also turned Yunzhou from the poorest place in the four northern provinces to the second-ranked state in the four northern provinces.

  Until this year, everyone knew that they would not let people get promoted. I was afraid that the entire Anxia people would laugh at their men in the four northern provinces. So Zhuo Lin was successfully promoted to governor.

   "It's really amazing." Leng Sa couldn't help but sighed, "The Overseer is really at a loss." Don't want to put such a talented and well-rounded wife, and ended up marrying Mrs. Fu, such a brainless...

  Leng Sa feels that compared to Zhuo Lin, this modern person is really a bit watery.

  Fu Fengcheng nodded and said, "It's really amazing." It was also much harder to admire Fu Dashao. Fu Fengcheng seldom really admires a person, and I have to say that Zhuo Lin is definitely one.

Leng Sa propped his chin and said, "But...this doesn't show anything to do with the so-called behind-the-scenes man. In Ms. Zhuo's life... there is no suspicious person at all. Dragon Warlord? Prince An? Zhang Xiang? Song? Warlord? Deputy Chief Lu?"

  Dragon Warlord is Zhuo Lin’s cousin. Even if there is no such relationship, Long Warlord will have any ideas. This is almost 30 years and will not be indifferent. Prince Ann seemed to be a little bit interested in Zhuo Lin, and the two of them had a good relationship, but at that time Prince Ann could not protect himself, where would he have the time to do things?

  Zhang Bi? Governor Song? Deputy Chief Lu? Leng Sa shook his head, feeling that something was wrong.

   "Zhang Zuo." Fu Fengcheng pointed to a name on the file and said.

  Leng Sa tilted his head to think, "Huizhi said he was in very bad health." Leng Sa remembered Zhang Huizhi’s expression that her second uncle’s condition was so sick. Can someone like that really do things? and……

"Don’t you think that Ms. Zhang Zuo hates Zhuo not to get engaged, so she wants to retaliate and provoke Ms. Zhuo to divorce the warlord. Even because she hates the warlord, did so many things happen? Ms. Zhuo wasn’t engaged to him, but he I will get married soon."

   Fu Fengcheng played with her slender fingers and shook his head, “Not everyone takes love very seriously. He probably hasn’t seen Ms. Zhuo before.”

   "That's why." Leng Sa Tan Shou said, it is even more impossible.

  Fu Fengcheng sighed helplessly, "I didn't mean that."

Leng Sa was stunned, and suddenly there was a flash of light in his mind, "You mean...provoking Ms. Lijian Zhuo and Dujun Fu is not his main purpose, maybe it's just easy to do? Other things are the point? But he seems to I hate you so much, I am very targeted at you."

  Fu Fengcheng said, "If I really hate a person, I will cut the grass and root before he has the power to resist."

   Leng Sa shook his finger and said, "It seems that Shao Fu has never really hated anyone."

  Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you say?"

   Lengsa smiled, "If you really hate a person, how can you be willing to let him die immediately. When a person dies, he will be a hundred. If there is nothing, who can you hate?"

  Fu Dashao disapproved, "When people die, I naturally don’t have to hate them."

Leng Sa was a little surprised. After looking up and down Fu Dashao for a while, he couldn’t help but sighed, “Unexpectedly, Fu Shao turned out to be a... such an upright person.” In vain, she still felt that Fu Dashao had psychological problems, seriously. It was wronged. Fu Dashao couldn't be more upright and straightforward, and it was completely different from those psychologically distorted perverts.

  Fu Dashao looked at his wife speechlessly, "What do you mean?"

Leng Sa blinked his eyes and said, "Don't you think that hating a person means to torture him and destroy him by all means, until he dies tragically, and then tell him, it turns out that his life is just a sad joke. . Is this more enjoyable?"

   Fu Fengcheng shook his head, "I don’t think."

   Leng Sa asked curiously, "Why?"

Fu Fengcheng said: "If I spend a long time torturing a person, will I be happy in my heart while torturing that person? Why don't I just kill him, and then forget about it and find something else that really makes me happy People and things?"

   "..." It seems, it makes sense?

  Leng Ye quickly abandoned this entangled question, and said, "Well, maybe some people will do this. But I don't think this man behind the scenes may have the same idea as you."

  "Make a bet?" Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at him with interest, "What are you betting on?"

  Fu Fengcheng said: "Just bet... Does this matter have anything to do with the black hand behind the scenes, and... Is he doing it easily or deliberately?"

  Lengsi thought for a moment, and stretched out his hand, "It's related, I'm deliberate. It's a bet!"

   "If it's related, let's do it smoothly."

  The two palms hit each other with a crisp sound, and the bet is reached.

The   Special Prison is located in an inconspicuous corner of the capital. Although the place is inconspicuous, it is close to the military office building. I don’t know how many secret guards there are inside and out. It is not an exaggeration to say that the guard is tight.

  In the morning, Fu Fengcheng and Leng Sa came to the prison gate, and the prison officer who had been waiting there immediately greeted them personally.

"Yesterday, I received Fu Shao's application and the notice from the Military Ministry. The two are going to interrogate Xing Wei and Gong Sihe? I have asked them to mention these two people." The person in charge accompanied the two of them as they walked in. , One side said.

   Fu Fengcheng said lightly, “I heard that Mrs. Xing was assassinated in prison the other day?”

  The person in charge suddenly froze and laughed, "This...it is indeed someone who was bought for money. We have already investigated and dealt with it seriously. Please rest assured, Shao Fu, that this will never happen again."

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Please don't mind, he is not dissatisfied with you. It's just that... Mrs. Xing was only temporarily detained here, and she has not been convicted. In case someone dies, it turns out that she is innocent. , I’m afraid it’s hard for you to explain to the outside world. After all, Mrs. Xing is still quite famous in the capital."

  The person in charge repeatedly said yes, and eagerly led people into a room, leaving a person to accompany him and hurried away, as if some monster in the room wanted to take a bite of him.

  Leng Sa wandered around in a room with only a table and a few chairs, and said thoughtfully, "There will be no eavesdropping devices in this room, right?"

The staff next to    hurriedly said with a smile, “Madame is worrying too much. The walls here are thick and soundproof. As long as you don’t shoot inside, you will definitely not be able to hear it outside. As for eavesdropping...not to mention it.”

  Leng Sa nodded, reached out and knocked on the wall without speaking.

  For a while, the back door was opened from the outside, and Xing Wei and Gong Sihe were taken in.

  It’s been almost a month since Xing Wei and Gong Sihe looked neatly dressed as if they didn’t suffer much.

But her face was paler than before, especially Xing Wei... After being detained for so long, in prison, she was forced to make her face naked. Xing Wei not only looked pale and haggard, but she finally had what an ordinary woman of her age should be. Even the faint wrinkles on the corners of his eyes are clearly visible.

  Leng Sa's most concern is that the pair of teachers and students, who were once intimate, seems to be a little more alienated between the eyebrows.

  They may not have noticed, but Leng Sa, who is an outsider, can tell the difference at a glance.

  The person who sent the two in and the person who was left to accompany them quickly backed out, and there were only four people left in the room.

  Xing Wei now has a kind of fear that has penetrated into Leng Sa's bones. No matter who is tortured by the same person, he will have such a fear. So Xing Wei couldn't help shaking slightly when she saw Leng Sa, and took a step back without a trace.

   Fu Fengcheng and Leng Sa naturally saw her move, and Leng Sa didn’t care to smile and waved to the two of them and smiled, “Mrs. Xing, Ms. Gong, it’s been a long time since I saw her, don’t come here?”

   Gong Sihe gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Not as good as Madam Shao."

   Leng Sa held Fu Fengcheng's arm in a good mood and said, "Of course it's not as good as me, Miss Gong thinks everyone can be as lucky as me?"

  Gong Sihe could not help turning his head to look at her after Wen Yan, Leng Sa seemed to become more and more proud.

Obviously, his chin was slightly raised proudly, but when he spoke, he seemed to sigh, "You see, I abandoned Fu Xiaosi's little rubbish, but I got a man like Fu Shao. An Xia Shuangbi, Nan Feng Beilong. Look again. Look at you, there are people in my heart, and I have to work hard to pretend that I am a bad woman who loves vanity and destroys other people's families, and corrupts her own reputation. Now even the palace family refuses to recognize you? If you like a young person like Shao Fu It’s fine if you are handsome and outstanding, but...you have to grab a bad old man with this kind of old woman who can compare to you in every place. Tsk...it’s so miserable!"

  "Shut up! He's not a bad old man!" Gong Si and his expression were in a daze, but his expression changed when he heard Leng Sa's last sentence, and he blurted out the rebuttal.
