Since they wanted to find out the news, Alan gave them a chance. If exposed now, it would give the elder a chance to change his plan. Therefore, he decided to use the trick.
After Ah Lan entered the room, he signaled Yueyao to stop talking. Yueyao nodded and sat on the couch without moving.
After Ah Lan sat down, he deliberately said loudly: "If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful of Ah Feng's life. You must know that he is in my hands now, and he listens to me very much. I forgot to tell you, I would have
I know that you never cared about Ah Feng on purpose. You know that I hate you, and you were worried that I could see that Ah Feng was your weakness, so you deliberately ignored Ah Feng."
Yueyao understood what Ah Lan wanted to say, and followed his intention and said: "I have to admit that you are smart. As long as you don't hurt Ah Feng, I will listen to you. I didn't tell you in advance about the elder meeting me today."
Unaware.”
"What did the elders ask you?" Alan asked.
"No, I didn't ask me anything. I just wanted to know why I was injured, and I said I didn't know either," Yue Yao said.
"Very good." Alan said.
The girl next to Yueyao came over with soup and medicine, and happened to see the handyman standing outside the door eavesdropping. She asked anxiously: "What are you doing?"
"The young master came just now. I saw that you were busy making medicine for Madam, so I prepared some cakes and tea and brought it over." said the handyman.
"Madam, the medicine is ready." The girl stood at the door and shouted.
"Come in." Yue Yao said, sitting sideways on the couch.
The chore girl came in and put down the tea and cakes, and wanted to take a closer look at Yueyao's face. However, because Yueyao was sitting sideways, she couldn't see clearly at all.
"Madam, you have to drink the medicine while it's hot," said the girl standing nearby.
Yueyao turned around, took the soup and drank it in one gulp. The bruises on her face were clearly seen by the handyman. She forgot for a moment that she was not a girl nearby, and she stood there with no intention of leaving.
The girl standing nearby tugged at the corner of her clothes. After she came to her senses, the two of them left the house.
Only then did Ah Lan see Yueyao's face clearly, and said softly: "Is your face okay?"
Yueyao smiled, poured some tea on the handkerchief, and wiped her face gently. After a while, the makeup had been wiped off, and the bruises and swelling on her face had disappeared.
"So you are the one who painted?" A Lan sighed.
"Do you think I really beat myself up like this?" Yue Yao said.
"I think the elders will come over in the future, so you can't always paint yourself like this, right?" A Lan asked.
"You don't have to do this in the future. They will come to your door often and know that you won't do anything again. If there are bruises on your face, it will be easy to find out that it is a fake." Yueyao said.
"I sent Ah Feng to Fengtian Sect." Ah Lan said.
Yueyao was very touched. She felt relieved that Ah Feng was now in Fengtian Sect because Fengtian Sect was the safest. In addition, before he ran away after half of what he said to her, she was worried that Ah Feng would be sad.
"Thank you." Yueyao said.
"I was worried that he would cause trouble while running around in the Leng Mansion, so I sent him away. Don't worry, Ah Feng is very sensible and I believe he will figure it out soon," A-Lan said.
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't forgive me, as long as he is healthy and safe," Yue Yao said.
Yueyao did not dare to pray for Ah Feng to forgive her. After all, from birth to now, she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. She almost suffered more injustice because of her indifference.
"Perhaps, he has never hated you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly run to see you again and again." A Lan said.
"So he secretly looked at me?" Yue Yao asked.
"On his birthday every year, he would secretly go to the main courtyard. In addition, every time his father asked him about his homework in the study, he would find an opportunity to see you." A Lan said.
"I let him down." Yueyao said.
"You have a good rest, and don't let the handyman see you taking off your makeup," A-Lan said.
"She is the person arranged by the elder to stay in Leng Mansion?" Yue Yao asked.
"That's right, you don't like people to be around you, so it's normal that you didn't notice her abnormality. At the beginning, I didn't think too much about it, just because Huan'er is someone I trust.
I was worried that someone would tamper with the soup and medicine on you, so I let Huan'er take care of you closely. I thought that if she had no problem, I would let the two of them take care of you together. Later, I found out that she was actually just one of them, so I didn't want to
He did not expose her by alerting the snake. Moreover, she was not someone bribed by the elders, she was one of the elders. Fortunately, she was tested before, otherwise she might spread more things." A Lan said.
"I do like to be alone. Even if the maids around me change, I won't care. It seems that they really took advantage of it." Yue Yao said.
A-Lan left the house and happened to run into Huan'er in the yard. Seeing that the chore girl was there, she whispered to Huan'er: "Watch this woman and don't let her cause trouble."
Huan'er nodded in understanding and entered the room. What they said was heard clearly by the maid.
After Huan'er entered, he placed the pastry on Yueyao's table and said, "Madam, this is a pastry specially made for you. Madam, the young master has told us to be more careful in the future."
"I understand." Yueyao said.
Besides, after Ayu and Alan left, Alan went to the shop. In fact, business had improved a lot in the past few days, but he didn't publicize it, so the elders didn't know about it.
In the evening, the clan leader came to Leng Mansion with doubts.
When A Feng wondered why the clan leader came to Leng Mansion so late, the clan leader hesitated whether he should ask A Lan. In the end, he still couldn't hold back and spoke.
When A-Lan heard the patriarch asking if he had really made a move on Yueyao, he smiled and said, "Chief, do you believe the rumors outside?"
"I'm worried about you kid..." The patriarch didn't finish his words.
After Ah Lan came back, he once mentioned that if Yueyao was allowed to enter the ancestral hall to accept the clan rules, she would be beaten to death with a stick. Therefore, Ah Lan might want to slowly torture Yueyao.
But when I think about A-Lan being upright, he would never lynch Yue Yao if he wanted to take revenge. But the rumors outside seemed to be true, and the elder even went to his house to tell him about it.
It made him a little worried.
"Chief, Yueyao's body is very weak and she cannot bear the thought of me doing anything to her." A Lan said casually.
"Alan, I've read the account books and know that the Leng family's business has not been affected at all, but several elders are still reluctant to do so. Why don't you explain it to them?" the clan leader asked anxiously.
A Lan said: "Chief, I should have revealed to you before that the rumors were started by the elders. No matter what you tell them, it will be of no avail. I don't want to misunderstand the elders, but I personally caught the person who sent the news to the elders' mansion.
.This time, I think the elder can be replaced."
The patriarch looked at A Lan in surprise. It was not that he didn't believe A Lan, but what he just said was really shocking. The patriarch actually bribed people from the Leng Mansion to find out the news. Even after so many years, they still refused to give up.
"You, do you really plan this? But, the three elders were all elected by the clan, how could they change their minds so easily?" the clan leader said.
"As the heads of the Leng family, what if they do something harmful to the world?" A Lan said with a smile.
"Did they hurt you?" the clan leader asked nervously.
"Of course not, but for their own selfish desires, they planned to bribe the people in the house. Because the people in the house didn't agree, they hurt his family and forced him to send them news." A Lan said.
"How dare they do this?" The patriarch was shocked.
"They did it once ten years ago. It's not impossible to do it again." Alan said.
"It's good that you're fine. I'm worried that something will happen to you. If what is rumored outside is true, the business will really be affected. At that time, the people in the clan will consider re-electing the leader. However, you have no heirs, and Ah Feng does not.
After doing business, they will naturally choose among the elders. I finally understand what they want to do," the patriarch said.
"Clan leader, there are some things that are inconvenient to tell you now. I will tell you when the matter is resolved." A Lan said.
"I'm going back first, they are very cunning, you have to be careful." The clan leader stood up and patted A Lan on the shoulder and said.
A Lan said: "Since the clan leaders are here, why not sit down for a while."
"I'm going back first to make arrangements in case anything happens." After saying this, the clan leader left Leng Mansion.
The clan leader cannot sit still and wait for death. The elders did such a thing regardless of their status. Even if A Lan did not pursue the case, the clan would not be able to spare them.
Ah Lan didn't force him, and sent the clan leader outside the house before rushing back.
The patriarch sat on the sedan chair and opened the note in his hand. When he just left, although A-Lan didn't say anything, he stuffed a note into him. He probably had some plans and it was not convenient to tell him in Leng Mansion.
After the clan leader read the contents on the note, he put the note away, returned to the clan, and lit the note with a candle.
"What did the patriarch just say?" Ayu asked after seeing Alan come back.
"The patriarch thought what was said outside was true, so he came here to persuade me not to be impulsive." A Lan shrugged and said.
"Clan leader, do you really believe the nonsense you are saying outside?" Ayu said with some surprise.
"The words outside are half true and half false, and the elder even came to mention this matter in person. Naturally, the clan leader will take it to heart. Has Butler Leng arranged any manpower at home?" A Lan asked.
"Originally, two people were arranged, but I was worried, so four more people were arranged," Ayu said.
"That's good. I'm worried that the elder is afraid that the matter will be exposed, and he will be killed and silenced when the time comes." A Lan said.
"What should I do if the elder takes revenge in the future? Should I ask the housekeeper to move?" Ayu asked.
"I will not give the elder this chance." A Lan said.
"Alan, the only person we can trust in the clan is the clan leader. Many people in the clan will follow the wind. This time, the rumors have not stopped. Many people in the clan are already dissatisfied with you. The elder's goal has been half achieved.
, we have to hurry up." Ayu sighed and said.
"I know, I'll go to the antique shop, and you'll be at home watching over it," A-Lan said.
"Going to the antique shop at this time? Uncle Ren will be back soon, right?" Ayu said.
"Uncle Ren is waiting for me in the shop. We will discuss business matters tonight. The things planned two days ago are about to begin." A Lan said.
Ayu nodded and said: "I understand. If anyone wants to see you, you must be in the old man's study. Anyway, if they know that you are in the study, no one will dare to disturb you."
After A-Lan nodded, he secretly left the Leng Mansion. A-Yu went to their side hospital. If anything happened, they would find the side hospital.
At this time, the elders had received the news that A Lan had gone to the backyard to reprimand and threaten Yueyao.
