Chapter 134 Back then
Chapter 134 Back then
Leng Qingyu has rarely left the house in his life.
The only time she went on a long journey was shortly after her marriage, when she accompanied the Marquis on a business trip to Tianchang Prefecture.
They originally thought that they would be able to return to the capital in two months, but who knew that the Marquis's mission encountered difficulties. They traveled around Tianchang Prefecture. Leng Qingyu even wrote letters to her family and mobilized the Leng family's huge network of relationships. Half a year later, things finally came to a conclusion, and Leng Qingyu was about to give birth at this time.
The Marquis hoped to return to the capital before his wife gave birth. Although Leng Qingyu disagreed, she still agreed with the Marquis' idea of hurrying on the journey.
As a result, when they arrived at a remote village in Yuntong County, Leng Qingyu's stomach suddenly attacked, and the Marquis had to seek help from nearby farmers.
Coincidentally, it was raining and stormy that day, so it was not convenient to hire a midwife.
But the wife of the Ye family, where they were staying, was in labor and had already hired a midwife.
The birth of twins was extremely dangerous, but fortunately the midwife was very experienced and was able to save the lives of the mother and her two children.
Mrs. Leng was very grateful.
She immediately rewarded the midwife and the Ye family with a large sum of silver.
During the few days of recuperation that followed, Mrs. Leng had no breast milk, so Mrs. Ye used her own breast milk to feed the two children.
Although Leng Qingyu had already paid enough money, he still wanted to repay the life-saving favor with a spring of gratitude, and Zou's little daughter was particularly pleasing to Leng Qingyu.
After returning to Beijing, Leng Qingyu wrote a letter to the manager of the Tianchang Mansion shop, asking him to go to the village to find Ye Dacheng and take him to do some business together.
This kind of thing was a piece of cake for Leng Qingyu, but she didn't expect that Ye Dacheng was so capable. He actually made a fortune by relying on this relationship and became a wealthy man.
Their relationship should have ended here.
The Ye family lived a wealthy life, and Mrs. Leng’s kindness was repaid.
But Ye Dacheng was afraid that Madam Leng would no longer support him, so he often wrote letters to the capital.
The person mentioned most in the letter was his daughter.
Ye Dacheng knew that Leng Qingyu liked this child, so he always deliberately mentioned the child's condition.
After Mrs. Leng wrote back to ask, Ye Dacheng took Mrs. Leng's letter and went to the shop to ask for some benefits.
The shopkeeper didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, but from the frequent correspondence, he judged that Ye Dacheng had a special relationship with his master's family.
In addition, it was the boss who took the initiative to propose to promote Ye Dacheng, and the shopkeeper did not dare to offend him. Every time Ye Dacheng bought goods, he gave him the lowest price.
For the Leng family, it is normal for such a large cloth decoration business to have a few losses and bad debts.
So over the years, since the superiors did not pursue the matter, the subordinates have formed a habit, and Ye Dacheng has reaped many benefits.
Although Ye Dacheng and his wife took advantage of Ye Xinran to gain benefits, they knew in their hearts that this child must never be seen in public.
Once Leng Qingyu knew the truth, everything they had now would come to naught.
Therefore, they did not dare to let Ye Xinran die, nor did they dare to let her live too well.
They tortured and abused Ye Xinran, wanting to turn her into a handful of mud in the lotus pond. This way, even if Madam Leng saw her again, she would never recognize her true identity.
Mrs. Leng was unaware of all this.
What she wanted now was to go see the girl her sister mentioned, and meet the daughter of the Ye family by the way.
Anyway, Changqing is there too, so I might as well take this opportunity to relax.
She thought the Marquis would definitely agree to let her go out, but she didn't expect that when she brought up the matter at dinner, the Marquis refused without even thinking about it.
"Qingyu, I'm sorry. I've been saying that I would take you out all these years, but I've been busy with official duties. You're so weak, how can I let you go to Yuntong County alone?"
The Marquis had a worried look on his face.
Leng Qingyu knew that the Marquis was concerned about her, so she explained with a smile, "I'm not going alone. I have my housekeeper, Chunhua Qiuyue and the others with me. We are not in a hurry to travel, so we will stay at the inn early in the evening. When we get there, we will stay at Qingxin's house. The Marquis doesn't need to worry at all."
"You make it sound easy. I can't even sleep well when you're out."
The Marquis seemed really worried and even refused to eat.
"But I really want to go. Qingxin said there's a miracle doctor there with very good medical skills who can help me check my body."
Leng Qingyu discussed in a low voice.
"You!"
The Marquis patted the back of his wife's hand lovingly and said, "Well, you wait for me for a few more days. When I finish my work, I will go with you.
Didn't Changqing stay at Qingshan Academy? I'll go over and ask about his situation."
Leng Qingyu shook his head upon hearing this, "If both of us leave, then Zhiyi will be the only one left in the mansion?
Zhiyi is still young, there is no point in leaving your daughter alone at home."
"Then let Zhiyi go with us."
The Marquis seemed to have made up his mind.
"Zhiyi has never been to Yuntong County, so it would be a good idea to let her go and take a look."
"OK then!"
Mrs. Leng had no choice but to agree.
Over the years, my health has been getting worse and worse, and it seems that I have always been causing trouble for the Marquis.
Fortunately, the Marquis is devoted to me and has not even had a concubine over the years.
Madam Leng always felt that she owed something, so in other matters, she always followed the Marquis's opinion.
"Then I will ask Zhiyi to familiarize herself with the cloth shop business in the next two days. This child is smart and looks a lot like you."
"He doesn't look like me at all. He looks more like the lady."
Lord Lu said nice things and went to bed early with his wife.
Mrs. Leng was exhausted and soon fell asleep.
The Marquis had trouble falling asleep.
He calculated in his mind: Five days, he still needs five days.
Zhuque has been walking for two days. According to his pace, he will reach Yuntong County in another day.
Zhuque has five days to deal with Ye Dacheng's family.
If he delays a little longer and sets out in five days, by the time he reaches Yuntong County, Zhuque will have already dealt with everything. By then, even if Leng Qingyu wants to investigate, he will have no way to start.
As for miracle doctors, the Marquis doesn't believe in them at all.
My wife has been suffering from this disease for more than ten years, and no doctor in the county can cure it.
But even though I knew it couldn't be cured, I still had to go.
He couldn't be accused of not caring about his wife's health and not taking her to see the doctor.
They, as a couple, will always be a legend among the people of the capital.
Even if his wife is gone in the future, he will definitely be a good husband in the eyes of others and the best son-in-law of the Leng family.
At least, stronger than Wei Jingzhi.
In the darkness, Lord Lu curled his lips:
In order to show his concern for Leng Qingxin, Wei Jingzhi actually resigned from his official position and went to teach in a small Yuntong County.
Did he think he could defeat himself by doing this?
Unfortunately, from the moment he left the capital, he was destined to lose.
