Shopkeeper Qi, like Shopkeeper Li, stopped caring about things in the shop after leaving the shop. They originally returned to the Leng family because of A-Lan to continue running the shop, but who knew that the patriarch came out in person to tell them that A-Lan could not take care of the business for the time being?
. Could it be that something happened to Allan because of the three elders?
They were very worried about Ah Lan and felt that they should not stay in the shop but should advance and retreat together with him. Therefore, they chose to leave the shop.
But he didn't expect that Elder Jian would actually come to his door. Elder Jian hadn't come out for many years. Did he come out just because of A-Lan?
He was not sure. When Elder Jian asked him to go back, he naturally did not dare to agree. Because he was not sure why Elder Jian did this. If it was for the three elders, wouldn't they be used again?
?
But this was the first time he heard about the situation in the shop. It turned out that the shop was not closed, but Ren Zi was taking care of it. In order to take care of these shops, Ren Zi closed all the antique shops. But since Ren Zi can open them
He must have been ordered by A-Lan to manage these shops. Otherwise, given Renzi's temper, how could he let those people in the clan bully A-Lan.
"I understand what you mean, I think I need to think about it." Shopkeeper Qi said.
Elder Jian left Shopkeeper Qi's home and went to a small restaurant near the restaurant. While eating, he specifically asked: "Servant, why is the restaurant next to it closed?"
"Are you a regular customer over there? It was fine a few days ago, but suddenly the restaurant closed. The restaurant is the business of the Leng family. I heard that the shopkeeper of the Leng family closed the shop overnight. I don't know what happened.
What a big deal." The waiter said.
"Yes, I am indeed a regular customer there. I just came back from the city to do some errands, but I found that the restaurant was closed." Elder Jian said.
"There may be something wrong with the Leng family, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. There were rumors that the young master of the Leng family was unfilial, and the disappearance of the master of the Leng family may be related to him," the waiter said.
"So that's it." Elder Jian said.
"Sir, please have your meal first, I won't disturb you anymore," the waiter said.
After having his meal, Elder Jian walked around outside and then returned to Leng Mansion.
The housekeeper asked someone to take Elder Jian back to his room, but Elder Jian said, "I wonder if your young master is at the house?"
"The young master has been in the house all day today and has not gone out. Do you want to see the young master?" the housekeeper asked.
"Please help me, butler, to invite the young master to come out. I have something to say to him," Elder Jian said.
"Elder Jian, the young master said that if you want to see him, just send you directly to his cabin. I will take you there," the steward said.
"Thank you."
Soon the housekeeper sent the elder into the small courtyard. A-Lan was not in the courtyard. When Elder Jian entered the house, he found A-Lan sitting in the house waiting for him.
"Alan, today I went to shopkeeper Li and shopkeeper Qi's home. They didn't go back to the shop, all because of you. Fortunately, they have conscience and know who is good to them. But the most important thing now is to persuade them
Go back to the shop, or do you want Ren Zi to die from exhaustion?" Elder Jian said.
"What do Shopkeeper Li and Shopkeeper Qi mean? Don't they have any plans to go back?" A Lan asked.
"They think you have been wronged and they should support you. So, there is still some hesitation." Elder Jian said.
"It turns out that Elder Jian went to Shopkeeper Li and Shopkeeper Qi's home. Are they okay?" A Lan asked.
"They are in good health, mainly because they told me about the three elders. Those three boys should indeed be dealt with. Their ambitions are not small, but do they think they can hide it for a lifetime?" Elder Jian said.
"I don't know what their plans are, but I know that the third elder will not be willing to let me become the leader." Alan said.
"I will handle the matter of the three boys. I hope you can persuade the elders to go back, otherwise Uncle Ren may fall down from exhaustion." Elder Jian said.
"Thank you for your hard work, Elder Jian. I will also look for opportunities to advise the shopkeepers. I believe they will listen." A Lan said with a frown.
Ayu blinked and asked: "How does Elder Jian plan to deal with the three elders? You must know that the three elders are not easy to deal with, especially the third elder. They are too treacherous. You have stayed in the clan for too long and you can't see it at all.
See their true colors."
"Ayu, no matter how you say the three elders are our elders, you can't say that." A Lan said.
"However, their actions are not like what an elder should do. Everything they do is aimed at you. I wish you could never stand up again. There is no way you look like an elder. When you and Yueyao were competing with each other, they
What are you doing?" Ayu suddenly spoke more and more seriously.
A-Yu actually feels sorry for A-Lan. She has been taking care of the Leng family's business for so many years. Moreover, A-Lan has been secretly competing with that woman over the years because A-Lan is worried that the woman will covet the Leng family's business. Who knows,
When A-Lan was dealing with that woman, the three elders stabbed her in the back.
Elder Jian took Ayu’s words to heart. Ayu’s words were correct. The behavior of the three boys was so disappointing. He originally thought that the three of them lived outside and could help Alan. Unexpectedly, the three of them not only failed to help Alan.
Good business, but also looking for opportunities to spread rumors. Of course he knew that these three boys did this on purpose, because their purpose was too obvious. He knew that the ambitions of the three started when the second son of the Leng family died.
He thought that A-Lan's father was not capable of taking care of the business, so he thought he had a chance to take care of the business. However, the eldest brother ignored him and handed the business over to A-Lan. Of course, A-Lan did not disappoint his eldest brother. Since taking over the business, the Leng family's
The business is well managed.
Elder Jian sighed and said: "I went to see some shopkeepers today and already know what happened in their mansion. The third elder is very ambitious. He not only wants to take care of the business, but also wants to alienate several shopkeepers.
The relationship between the shopkeeper and A-Lan. Do you know that your grandfather actually put all his expectations on your second uncle?"
"Of course I knew. Although I was still young at that time, I also knew that my grandfather hated my father so much that I put all my expectations on my second uncle. And my second uncle did not disappoint my grandfather. Not only did he improve the business
It was organized in an orderly manner and I contacted many merchants. Unfortunately, my second uncle likes to visit graves, so in the end..." A-Lan said to Elder Jian.
He didn't say anything in the end because his second uncle was very kind to him, and every time he would think of that subordinate who ran into the study covered in blood.
"The death of your second uncle was a great blow to your grandfather. In addition, your father failed to live up to his expectations, which caused your grandfather to become ill. Fortunately, you are sensible. Although you are young, you never mention your father's treatment of you around your grandfather.
In fact, your grandfather knows all about indifference. In the end, he decided that leaving the business to you was the best choice." Elder Jian said.
"At that time, although I lived with my mother in a small courtyard, I didn't feel wronged. My grandfather was worried that we would be wronged, and he often ordered the housekeeper to double the monthly allowance. He never treated us badly in terms of food and clothing.
Later, after my grandfather passed away, my father did not allow anyone to deprive us of money. On the surface, my father and mother just lived separately. However, the doctor my father hired perused us and even tampered with the soup. Otherwise, my mother's illness would not have worsened.
I couldn't get out of bed before." A Lan said.
"How did your grandfather know that Yuan Jun did this because he was fighting against your mother? Who would have thought that the woman he brought back because of his fighting spirit poisoned him? If not for this, that woman would not have poisoned your mother.
Poison. You were so focused on dealing with that woman. I thought the clan leader and the three elders could help you take care of your business, but I never thought they would team up to plot against you and the Leng family," Elder Jian said.
"Elder Jian just said that you went to meet with some shopkeepers. It seems that you have plans to meet with the three elders." A Lan asked.
Elder Jian did not expect that Ah Lan would guess his plan, and said with a smile: "It seems that I can't hide anything from you."
"I just said it casually, but I didn't expect that I guessed it right. I remember that when I left, they were supposed to be locked up in the clan. Have they been released?" A Lan asked.
"What are you talking about? The three of them are in their own mansion now?" Elder Jian asked.
"Yes, to be honest with Elder Jian, because I don't trust the elders in the clan, I have always arranged for people to guard the gate of the Elder's Mansion. As a result, I saw a carriage parked at the gate of the Elder's Mansion early this morning.
The three elders got off the carriage and entered the house. Sure enough, the elders in the clan are not worthy of my trust." A Lan said helplessly.
"Elder Lu actually broke the rules and secretly let the three of them go. I will go to the elder's mansion to see what they have to say." Elder Jian said.
"Elder Jian, you have just come back from outside. You have been tired all day today. It is too late to go there tomorrow. They have all gone to the great elder's house and they must be discussing how to deal with me. If you go at this time, they will
Take precautions. Now they don't know that you are in Leng Mansion. How about we wait until we discuss it at night before making a decision?" A Lan asked.
"Since A-Lan said so, I will stay at home and wait until we discuss it at night before making a decision." Elder Jian said.
The reason Elder Jian agreed to A Lan was because he wanted to know more about the three elders, but what he knew was too little. Originally, he should be responsible for handling the affairs of the clan, and he trusted him as much as his elder brother
Patriarch, all matters are handled by the patriarch. Ayu is right, he doesn’t understand the other elders at all. This time, it was only because he went to the ancestral hall that he found out that Elder Lu was acting in a secret way. It was obvious that Elder Lu had been coveting his position for a long time.
, It's a pity that although they are also members of the Leng family, they are members of the third room, so they will not decide on the important matters of the Leng family. They did not expect that this time he gave them a chance. A Lan was wronged outside, and he
But I don’t know what degree it is, it’s damning.
"Elder Jian, what are you thinking about?" Alan asked.
"I was just thinking that I have wronged you over the years. I originally planned to leave everything to you to handle, and you also need to grow up. But I didn't expect that you have indeed matured a lot, but the performance of the elders was too...
I am disappointed." Elder Jian said.
"Elder Jian, you don't have to blame yourself. The main reason is that you trust them too much." A Lan said.
"Perhaps you don't know the relationship between them. Elders Lu and Qin actually live in the same room with the three elders. They are relatively close. Looking back now, the decisions made by the clan must be related to this."
Elder Jian said.
"So that's it, then Elder Lu and Elder Qin are also members of the Leng family? Or are they distant relatives of the Leng family?" A Lan asked in confusion.
"Actually, like me, they all took their mother's surname." Elder Jian said.
