Chapter 87, one of them, in the mud

Chapter 87, facing the mud

Leng Xuanrong didn't know how long she had cried. After she could no longer shed tears, she suddenly remembered that she was really out of her current appearance.

She wiped the tears on her face and broke away from Mr. Dou's arms. Her red and swollen eyes did not dare to look at Mr. Dou. Leng Xuanrong's voice was also a little hoarse, but she saluted deeply and said, "It's time for me to say goodbye..."

After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, Mr. Dou took a step forward and hugged her tightly from behind.

"Miss Xuanrong..." Mr. Dou called softly but didn't know what to say. He was even surprised by what he was doing now.

Leng Xuanrong was also shocked. She hurriedly opened Mr. Dou's arm, left a few steps, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Dou... I... I... leave..."

After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave again.

But Mr. Dou followed another step forward and grasped Leng Xuanrong's hand tightly.

"Let me...let me send you back..."

Mr. Dou's words were full of helplessness. He let go of Leng Xuanrong's hand, turned to the room to get a moon white cloak for Leng Xuanrong, and then opened the door to send her out.

The guards patrolling the courtyard seemed to hear Leng Xuanrong's crying just now. They all hid far away, and no one came forward to say hello as before.

Out of the dyeing study, Leng Xuanrong only felt a little tingling in her eyes blown by the cold wind. Maybe she cried too much just now and had a little headache.

Mr. Dou has been silently following Leng Xuanrong and walked far away before he said softly, "Miss Xuanrong... There will always be a day when these things will be solved... You don't have to worry about the safety of Mr. Leng and Mr. Zeng..."

Leng Xuanrong was stunned for a long time and finally figured out what Mr. Dou said, and her heart was warm again.

"I'm relieved to have Mr. Dou's words."

The two didn't say anything more. When Leng Xuanrong came home, she found that someone really cooked dinner for her father here, cooked the medicine she would drink every day, and cleaned the old house again.

Leng Xuanrong and Leng Chengqi thanked Mr. Dou for their kindness. After he left, Leng Chengqi asked Leng Xuanrong with concern what had happened.

Leng Xuanrong's heart is full of words that she can't say to others. After dealing with her father a few words, she really has no heart to say anything more.

Back to her room, Leng Xuanrong saw herself in the bronze mirror.

A pair of red and swollen eyes and a pale face are really haggard and scary.

These things that happened today finally remained in Leng Xuanrong's mind. The clearest thing was the moment when Mr. Dou hugged her from behind.

Mr. Dou is definitely not a person who can do such a thing. Is it a moment of urgency? Or... the truth?

No matter what it is, Leng Xuanrong understands that the relationship between herself and Mr. Dou may no longer be as light as before.

Mr. Dou is a modest gentleman, and Leng Xuanrong only admires Mr. Dou. She knows that Mr. Dou's status is by no means something that people like her can climb up, and in the future, if Mr. Dou knows what Leng Xuanrong has to do, I'm afraid he will never think that she is just a sad girl again. Will this feeling in Mr. Dou's heart change at that time?

Leng Xuanrong sighed and shook his head gently.

I don't know how long it took for Leng Xuanrong to sort out her mood. She knows very well that there are still more important things waiting for her to do, how to bring the robbery of Guanyin back to the eyes of everyone, and how to make Du Yilin leave Nakyan County during the period when he returned to the imperial city in his previous life are all urgent things to think about.

Just as he straightened out his head, Leng Xuanrong suddenly remembered what Du Yilin said to Zeng Yanliang.

It is said that He Lijing came to investigate the river embankment in Kayan County, and this incident seems to be aimed at Liang Qiurong.

Thinking of this, Leng Xuanrong's mood immediately became much brighter.

Before, she didn't know why He Lijing suddenly came to Quyan County, but now she is very clear.

It must be because Li Duen sent the letter to He Lijing and told He Lijing about what happened in Nayan County and their father and daughter of the Leng family. After seeing the letter, He Lijing not only sent someone to kill Li Duen, but also turned to deal with Leng Chengqi.

If it were normal, He Lijing could send someone to kill the father and daughter of the Leng family like Li Duen, but now that the prince Du Yilin is in Yan County, He Lijing must have thought that Leng Chengqi would not be captured. Maybe he had already contacted the prince, so he did not dare to act rashly at all.

On the other side, Liang Qiurong suddenly sent someone to ask for marriage. This kind of bright goodwill is really suspicious.

Leng Xuanrong put herself in He Lijing's position to analyze that Li Duen is a ruffian in Yiyan County. Although he does not understand the affairs of officialdom, he may not be a fool. Will he show that letter to others before he sends it to ask for credit? The most likely one is to show Liang Qiurong and pull him into the gang. Or after Li Duen's death, the people of the county government went to clean up the gambling bank and received a copy of the letters hidden by Li Duen?

Anyway, Liang Qiurong has read this letter and knows the content of it.

He Lijing did not agree to Liang Qiurong's marriage proposal, and his attitude was very tough, indicating that He Lijing had put Liang Qiurong in an opposing position.

In this way, it became logical for He Lijing to come to Nayan County.

On the one hand, he wants to find a way to deal with Leng Chengqi here, and on the other hand, he wants to appease Liang Qiurong and wait for the opportunity to get rid of him.

Maybe he is still very concerned about what Du Yilin is doing. The people above He Lijing's head should be more worried about Du Yilin.

When several of them coincided, He Lijing had to find an excuse to come to Quyan County. And this excuse is about the river embankment.

Leng Xuanrong saw that He Lijing is now using this excuse to force Liang Qiurong to death.

Leng Xuanrong didn't know to what extent He Lijing could do things, but she knew that her revenge for Liang Qiurong could probably be achieved with the help of He Lijing.

If Liang Qiurong can be eliminated, Leng Xuanrong will have less heart disease.

But at the same time, another goal of He Lijing should be Leng Xuanrong's father, Leng Chengqi.

So far, Leng Xuanrong has put hope on Du Yilin, but at this time, Leng Xuanrong suddenly thought that if Du Yilin left, wouldn't it be very dangerous for their father and daughter to stay here?

Leng Xuanrong didn't sleep all night in order to come up with a perfect way.

There is no action on her side for the time being, but sleepless all night like her, as well as several people in the private house behind the county magistrate's government.

Liang Qiurong and his three sons sat in the room with an extremely solemn look on their faces.

"Father." The eldest son of the Liang family said first, "Lord He didn't respond to the marriage, and it may not have anything to do with him coming to investigate the other side of the river embankment... Or he wants to avoid suspicion..."

Liang Qiurong looked at his eldest son, sighed and said to him, "You... are just too straightforward."

At this time, the second son of the Liang family also turned his head and said to his eldest brother, "Brother, you can't just think about the worst situation now." After saying that, he said to Liang Qiurong, "Dad, we don't have to be afraid. A few days ago, my third brother and I followed your instructions to exchange our Liang family's wealth for gold and silver and hide it properly. The gold and silver are enough for the third generation of the Liang family to eat and drink. This official, you can do it as long as you can. If you really can't do it, Dad, you can resign from the court and tell your hometown.

Liang Qiurong thought about it and asked about the handling of gold, silver and other property carefully. It was not until he felt that it was really appropriate that he was relieved.

"However, I'm afraid that this matter can't be rid of by resigning..." Liang Qiurong said this and looked up at Mr. Liang. Although they are all family members, only Liang Qiurong and Mr. Liang know the contents of the letter.

The third son of Liang has been silent and doesn't know what he is thinking.

When the eldest son of the Liang family saw his father looking at his third brother, he hurriedly called out, "Third brother! Third brother! What do you think? Let's sit together and figure it out. Just say what you think.

Mr. Liang was a little angry when he saw that the eldest brother frowned. He hurriedly smiled bitterly and whispered, "My mind is like a mess now. Brother, you are talking about you."

The eldest son of the Liang family sterned and said angrily, "Third brother, you are not so good. Why can't you say anything? You are usually smart. Now that there is a problem at home, you have to come up with an idea to tide over the difficulties!"

Mr. Liang did not dare to talk back to his eldest brother. He stood up and sorted out his thoughts before sitting down again and said, "For today's solution, we can only try to protect ourselves." He turned his head and looked at Liang Qiurong and asked, "Dad, is there any mistake in the matter on the other side of the river embankment?"

When Liang Qiurong heard the words, his expression was stiff.

And the forehead of the second son of the Liang family also oozed a trace of sweat.

"No... it's not that serious..." Liang Qiurong looked at his second son as if seeking comfort. The second son of the Liang family also hurriedly nodded to Mr. Liang and said, "I have found the best person to repair the accounts and so on. As for the people around the river embankment, they have also sent people to comfort them... There should be nothing. What a problem..."

After hearing this, Mr. Liang frowned and sighed.

What he fears most is this situation.

What happened on the river embankment is not groundless. The Liang family's business has been booming for so many years, and it is definitely not so innocent. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. No matter how well it is repaired, it will inevitably be dense and sparse.

Then He Lijing came to overthrow the Liang family. Can't he be ruthless to find clues?

The official position to the level of He Lijing can also be regarded as being able to reverse black and white. He can stir up three things if nothing happens, not to mention that he has something to do now!

And these are just superficial things. Mr. Liang will never forget that letter. Without that letter, there might not be the current situation. Mr. Liang feels that what he and his father are doing now not only does not escape a step, but is getting closer and closer to the trap of the mysterious man.
