Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 126 Acting vigorously and resolutely
He poured out all his grievances, but instead of feeling relieved, his cold mood became even more confused.

If you choose the wrong person and get cheated out of your money and sex, you have to swallow your anger and accept it. But the key is that the other person is a gentleman and you see no hope after giving your true heart, which is very distressing.

After hearing this, several people were speechless.

Leng Bing was on his side after all. Gao Jingming was still in the ignorant stage of love between men and women and didn't understand the taste of it. But looking at Leng Bing's bitter look, he just thought that someone on his side was wronged. He couldn't help but maliciously speculated: "I think that Mr. Yang is probably a liar with bad character. His words about the future of the imperial examination are just deception. I'm afraid he already has a wife at home and is deliberately keeping Leng guard hanging."

Gao Jingyu immediately shook his head and said, "Little brother, don't talk nonsense without evidence. There are no outsiders here. Don't talk nonsense outside this door, otherwise you will be spreading rumors and ruining other people's reputations. Besides, he was once your husband, so be careful with your words."

Leng Bing was also anxious to defend the person she loved, saying, "Master, that's not the case. Yang...Brother Yang is not that kind of person. I've known this for a long time. He has no family and has always been single. This has been confirmed by the neighbors. If I didn't even understand this, how could I have fallen in love with him?"

Gao Jingyu then calmly analyzed from the perspective of an observer: "Indeed, if Mr. Yang had a bad character, how could he have the opportunity to be a teacher at Yushan Academy? I still trust Mr. Yushan's vision and will not let such a person ruin the reputation of the academy."

Gao Jingming thought it made sense. Although Leng Bing's heart was tied to Yang Xin, with her ability, it was still easy for her to find out secretly.

Then he said worriedly, "But this doesn't make sense. Could it be that Mr. Yang has a mistress outside? Or is he fond of brothels? That's why he's so indifferent to Guard Leng..."

"impossible!"

Before he could finish his words, Leng Bing shook her head decisively, and then continued, "Brother Yang is not in the situation that the young master described. His family is quite tight on money. How could he have the money to do such a thing? Besides, because I missed him so much, I secretly followed him. He usually went back and forth between school and home, and didn't come into contact with many people. In his free time, he would set up a stall on the street to write letters and sell calligraphy and paintings to supplement his family income. At most, he would go to a small gathering invited by a few good friends, and he would not refuse. I have personally confirmed that it is not fake."

"It's neither this nor that, I just don't understand," Gao Jingming scratched his head and spread his hands, indicating that he had no idea.

Chen Xuan was also confused. He suspected that Leng Bing was looking at Yang Xin through a filter because of her love for the woman. However, since it was related to her lifelong event, she would definitely have her own actions and judgments, and she would not be careless.

After thinking about it, it’s just bullshit.

But no matter what, there is definitely a problem, and it is a big problem. It’s just that the specific truth is not yet known.

Seeing that Leng Bing's mood had stabilized a little, Gao Jingyu felt sympathetic but also annoyed. She was naturally happy that Leng Bing could find a good home, but the current situation was really puzzling.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked Leng Bing seriously, "Sister Leng, let's put everything else aside for now. From your personal perspective, do you think Mr. Yang is truly loyal to you?"

When asked this question, Leng Bing thought seriously before saying, "Miss, I should be able to guarantee this. First of all, he is a good person and has never been disrespectful to me. He is not that kind of playboy. I am not afraid of you laughing at him. If he were that kind of womanizer, he would have taken me away long ago."

"I can see that he's really aiming to start a family. If he wasn't sincere with me and wanted to start a family, how could he have accepted my financial support over the years with such a clear conscience? But I would have noticed anything amiss. I still have this confidence. And it was me who took the initiative to support him, not him using sweet words to trick me. And he did use the money I gave him for his studies. He always made a list of what he bought, and it's verifiable."

When she said this, Gao Jingyu was carefully observing every detail of her expression. Although Leng Bing was partly speaking well of Yang Xin, she was also mostly stating the facts.

This is even more puzzling.

Could it be that Yang Xin is really a stubborn person who won't get married until he becomes successful?
To be honest, this is the first time that Chen Xuan has encountered such a situation. You say that Yang Xin has character problems, but he can withstand verification. You say that he is a fraud, but he accepted Leng Bing's financial support, but there are traces of where he spent it. You say that he is a sex offender, but he remained indifferent to Leng Bing's initiative to devote herself to him, and he has never even touched her with his finger. He can be called a true gentleman like Liuxia Hui who remains calm even when a woman makes a advance on him.

I can't find anything wrong with him at all. I suspect that he has bad intentions towards Leng Bing, but I don't know where to start.

This is difficult to do.

But he has always been so lukewarm and cold, and this is the biggest problem.

Think about it, in this era, both of them are not young anymore. There is a saying that the three unfilial acts are to have no descendants and the worst one is to have no offspring. As a scholar, Yang Xin must know this, but he is unwilling to marry Leng Bing. There must be something fishy going on!

Originally, Gao Jingyu wanted to take charge of Leng Bing, but after learning the truth, he was a little at a loss.

I feel that they can't go on like this. If they are forced to separate, Leng Bing will be the one who suffers the most. But you can't let Yang Xin force Leng Bing to marry you just because of his status. As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. Besides, she has legitimate reasons. She will naturally take responsibility after she achieves success. You can't stop her from making progress.

If he was a money-stealer or a sex-sexist, the easiest thing to do would be to bring him to justice. But he didn't commit any money-stealer or sex-sexing offenses, so he was like a turtle and it was hard to find a way to stop him.

Thinking quickly, Gao Jingyu realized that this matter still depends on Leng Bing's thoughts. He pondered and said, "Sister Leng, what do you think? Tell me boldly. No matter what, I will take your side. Even if you want to marry him, I can only use my womanly temper and force you to do it because of my status. This is not illegal and it is reasonable."

Leng Bing was moved by what she heard, but she shook her head and said, "Miss, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I don't want to force Brother Yang on this matter. I hope he takes the initiative to propose to me, rather than him resisting and not wanting to. Otherwise, we won't be happy in the future. Miss, you've been through this before, so you should know better than me."

This was definitely a case of being in love. What she said was true. Gao Jingyu marrying Prince Qing was a mutual love. Although Gao Jingyu was marrying up because of his status as a prince, if she didn't want to, could Prince Qing force her to marry a congenital master?
"This won't work, that won't work. What should we do? We can't just keep dragging it on like this. Guard Leng is already so old. If we keep dragging it on, it will be difficult for him to have children in the future. Oh, I really want to catch Mr. Yang and beat him up," Gao Jingming said in frustration.

Let me just say here that Yang Xin is a man of integrity. If he really beats someone up, the first person he will not let go will definitely be Mr. Yushan. After all, he is a student from Yushan Academy. Beating the teacher for no reason is, in a serious sense, tantamount to betraying his teacher and ancestors.

Chen Xuan suddenly realized at this moment that since everything was normal, then the biggest abnormality was that the problem must be with Yang Xin himself. Although this was nonsense, were there any other possibilities?

Putting aside the most unlikely thing, the most likely thing is that there is something wrong with Yang Xin!

Gao Jingyu suddenly laughed and said, "Actually, we've all fallen into a misunderstanding. We've been analyzing Sister Leng's experience from a normal perspective. But if we change our thinking, could it be that Mr. Yang has...unspeakable difficulties, or perhaps flaws?"

Chen Xuan's heart moved. Is this the same idea as his?

Think about it, if a man who isn't after money or sex has a beautiful woman who's devoted to him, what else could he possibly be looking for? Could he be using coldness to cover up something?

The most likely possibility is that he has defects. Otherwise, even if he is a man, he would not be able to resist the active devotion of a beautiful woman, let alone when he is deeply in love.

The reason why Gao Jingyu could think of this was naturally because there were eunuchs, people with physical defects, in the palace.

But this kind of thing is hard to say openly.

"I said there was something wrong with Mr. Yang, sister. What do you think is wrong with him?" Gao Jingming asked immediately.

Leng Bing was no longer a child. He could tell what the music was about and thought of some terrifying possibility. His face turned pale and he shook his head, denying it categorically. "Impossible, how could that be? Although I haven't done anything inappropriate with Brother Yang, I've practiced martial arts for many years, so I can naturally tell that he's normal."

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Gao Jingming suddenly didn't understand.

Of course, I can't talk about this kind of thing without any evidence. Gao Jingyu pretended that his younger brother didn't exist and continued, "No matter what, this is about Sister Leng's lifelong event. I can't just sit back and watch, but I can't just believe Sister Leng's one-sided words. For Sister Leng to have a good home, we still have to take action. This is not a solution."

Having said this, she pondered for a moment and then said, "Well, let's start from two aspects. First, send someone to Yushan Academy and Lanfeng County Government to retrieve a copy of Mr. Yang's resume. There must be records in this regard. Jiming Town is under the jurisdiction of Lanfeng County. I think I remember this correctly. Then we go and meet Mr. Yang in person. Whether it is for personal reasons or other reasons, we will know at a glance!"

Leng Bing immediately became anxious and said, "Miss, this is not good, right?"

"Oh? Sister Leng, you feel bad about our investigation of him? But this is all for your own good," Gao Jingyu said earnestly.

Shaking his head and then nodding, Leng Bing said, "I do have concerns in this regard, but the main thing is, Miss, you are of such noble status. How dare I trouble you to come here in person for such a trivial matter? If this gets known, I will be guilty of a thousand deaths."

She was also considering Gao Jingyu. It was indeed inappropriate for the princess to go there in person for such a matter.

But Gao Jingyu said, "I understand, but it's different for you, Sister Leng. If it were anyone else, I would just give you an order, but we are like sisters. Back then... Never mind, let's not talk about the past. Anyway, I will take care of this matter myself. Don't think my identity is inappropriate. Before I got married, I was a man of the world. I'm asking as your close friend, not as a princess. It's no problem. I can disguise myself and do it secretly. After all, I've never left my parents' home."

"How can this be possible?" Leng Bing was terrified, and suddenly felt that his problems were nothing.

Gao Jingyu made the final decision and said, "It's settled. It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Let's take action now."

This is really a decisive person.

Gao Jingming yelled, "Sister, are you going out to investigate Mr. Yang? Can I go with you?"

"Okay, but don't make trouble. Besides, we are not going to investigate Mr. Yang. We just want to confirm the specific situation for Sister Leng's lifelong event before making plans," Gao Jingyu agreed after thinking for a while.

Gao Jingming immediately said happily: "Hehe, sister, you haven't changed at all. Ah Xuan, let's go together later. Let me tell you, when I was a child, you took me to smash the casino..."

"Shut up, are you itching for trouble?" Gao Jingyu glared at him and interrupted his younger brother from telling about his dark history.
