Kill the heroine at the beginning, and the little apprentice sister will take away the luck
Chapter 101 You're Back Late
After weighing the pros and cons for a while, Leng Yueyao finally mentioned Leng Changdao.
But she used another excuse, saying that because she was stupid, Leng Changdao gave him to his distant relative Leng Shi.
Leng Yueyao thought that she was Leng Changdao's biological daughter after all, and he didn't let her practice before because he thought she had no spiritual roots.
Now she has spiritual roots and has become the disciple of Immortal Master Chang Heng.
As long as she avoided Shangguan Heng and explained the pros and cons to Leng Changdao after returning to the Leng family, she believed that Leng Changdao would still be willing to acknowledge her as his daughter.
Shangguan Heng gave Leng Yueyao great confidence, but Leng Yueyao didn't know that Leng Changdao had been burned to ashes.
……
When Leng Yueyao and her companions arrived at the Leng family's house, the plaque outside the gate had been taken down, and most of the servants had been dismissed. The housekeeper Chen Bo was leading a few people to clean up the main hall that had been burned to ruins.
Because the door was not closed, Leng Yueyao and the other two walked in directly.
When they were seen, they were almost reaching the main hall.
Leng Changdao died, and the Leng family's property deeds and the remaining gold and silver treasures were given to Uncle Chen by Leng Zhuxin. Although only half a day had passed, the Leng family is now centered around Uncle Chen.
Before Uncle Chen spoke, all the servants pretended not to see them and continued to clean up the ruins.
Uncle Chen put down his broom and walked up to Shangguan Heng. "Where are you from? What brings you to our house?"
Uncle Chen looked the three people up and down, and only asked after confirming that he had never seen them before.
Shangguan Heng rarely talks to ordinary people, as he feels it is beneath his dignity.
So, just like at Leng Shi's house, it was Leng Yueyao who spoke first: "We are from the world of immortal cultivation. Uncle Chen, I am Leng Yueyao. Where is my father? Where is he?"
Leng Yueyao thought about it and decided to give her name directly, thinking that since she was covering her face, Uncle Chen should not be able to tell that her appearance and figure were different from before.
Maybe he would think that she had run away from home and come back, so he took her to see Leng Changdao.
Once we meet Leng Changdao, we can discuss the next thing.
As she expected, Uncle Chen did not question her identity. He just looked her up and down again: "Miss? How did you become like this? Your voice has completely changed."
Alas, Miss, you are back too late. The master has passed away."
"What!?
How could my father die?"
Leng Yueyao exclaimed in surprise. In her impression, Leng Changdao had always been in good health and paid great attention to health preservation. He should be able to live to be seventy or eighty years old.
She never thought that when she returned to the Leng family, Leng Changdao would be dead.
He glanced at Uncle Chen with suspicion and said, "Uncle Chen, stop joking. Let my father come out. I came back this time because I have something to ask him."
Leng Yueyao said this and wanted to walk around Uncle Chen and go to Leng Changdao's yard.
Uncle Chen didn't stop her, but pointed to the burned main hall and said, "The master died today, just three hours ago.
Miss, you had a big fight with the master and ran away from home. The master sent many people out to look for you, but they couldn't find you.
I was often in a trance due to anger and excessive thinking. Today, I accidentally set the curtains of the main hall on fire and fainted on the ground. When I found out, the fire was already out of control.
Although we tried our best to put out the fire, we still couldn't rescue the master.
The body has not been found yet. If it cannot be found, we can only build a cenotaph.
Since you are back, Miss, it is a good opportunity for you to show your filial piety to the master."
Uncle Chen took Leng Zhuxin out and didn't even mention that Leng Zhuxin had come back.
After he guessed that it was Leng Zhuxin who killed Leng Changdao, he had already secretly investigated in the city. Leng Zhuxin and his companions did not enter the city with fanfare, and after entering the city, they did not stay on the streets, but went directly back to the Leng family.
Apart from the Leng family's doorman and servants, he was the only one who knew that Leng Zhuxin had returned to the Leng family today.
The servants who are still staying in the mansion are of the same mind as him, so naturally they won't say anything more.
Uncle Chen's words also made Shangguan Heng suspicious. "Running away from home after a big quarrel" was completely inconsistent with what Leng Yueyao said, that she was sent to Leng Shi to be raised because of mental retardation.
But since they were in front of outsiders, Shangguan Heng didn't question Leng Yueyao, but just glanced at Leng Yueyao lightly.
Leng Yueyao didn't realize there was anything wrong with what Uncle Chen said. When she heard Uncle Chen asking her to mourn for Leng Changdao, she said excitedly, "Why should I mourn for him? If he hadn't been partial to me, would I have been harmed like this?"
Now I can cultivate immortality just like Leng Zhuxin. When we cut off our worldly ties, Leng Zhuxin didn’t come back to observe the mourning period, so why should I?
I came back this time to get my things. Since my father has passed away, you should all leave my house."
Leng Yueyao held her head high and looked at Uncle Chen and the others with eyes full of contempt.
In her opinion, the Leng family's wealth should belong to her, Leng Changdao's biological daughter, and Leng Zhuxin is not worthy of it!
Later she would have to watch these lowly servants leave and not let them steal anything.
Shangguan Heng and Changkong Hao on the side disagreed. They believed that the yellow and white things in the mortal world were of no use to cultivators, and taking them would only take up space.
Leng Yueyao's behavior was indeed a bit too petty.
In particular, they learned from Leng Yueyao that she was the daughter sent away by Leng Changdao.
Changkong Hao was already unhappy about being forced by Shangguan Heng to get engaged to Leng Yueyao. Seeing Leng Yueyao's aggressive look, he deliberately asked, "So Junior Sister Leng Zhuxin and Junior Sister Leng Yueyao are sisters.
Doesn't that mean Junior Sister Leng Zhuxin also has the right of inheritance?"
"Of course not, only our second daughter has the right of inheritance, not the eldest daughter.
This immortal doesn’t know that although my master is the head of the Leng family, the family business was actually built by my wife.
My wife only gave birth to the second daughter, and the eldest daughter was born to my master and a woman outside.
It’s because my wife is kind-hearted that she has been raising her in the house, treating her like a proper young lady.
You see, my wife’s name is also written on the deed.”
It was only today when Leng Zhuxin gave the house deed to Uncle Chen that Uncle Chen discovered that Ning Mi's name was written on the deed. This could be used to prove that the Leng family's property had nothing to do with Leng Yueyao.
Changkong Hao looked down and saw only Ning Mi. He then said, "Then Junior Sister Leng Yueyao really doesn't have the right of inheritance. I can only ask Junior Sister Leng what to do with this house."
"No need to ask. When my second young lady joined the Qingxuan Sect, she already said that things in the mortal world would be of no use to her in the future. I'm afraid she won't come back to the mortal world in the future.
However, as the housekeeper hired by the Madam, I absolutely cannot allow the family fortune built by the Madam to fall into the hands of an illegitimate daughter, so I hope the young lady will forgive me."
Uncle Chen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
He was not afraid of the immortals attacking him, because no immortal would kill a mortal for a little money and bear the consequences.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Shangguan Heng, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "These yellow and white things are useless to those who practice immortality. Yao'er, just take back your things and follow me."
"Yes, Master."
Leng Yueyao bit her lip unwillingly, her tone adding a bit of hatred: "I don't want the family property anymore, it's okay for me to just take back what's mine, right?"
"Logically, there shouldn't be anything belonging to the eldest lady in the mansion. Since she was a child, all her food, clothing, and daily necessities were bought with the mansion's money. Later, when she left home, she took all her clothes and jewelry with her. There really isn't anything in the mansion that belongs to the eldest lady anymore."
Uncle Chen saw clearly that Leng Yueyao was not a person who valued loyalty, and she certainly did not bring her master and brothers back just to report their safety to Leng Changdao.
Either he wanted to show off that he could cultivate immortality like Leng Zhuxin, or he wanted to get something.
Leng Yueyao had stuffed all the clothes and jewelry into the storage bag when she ran away from home. It is impossible that she would not want these things when she came back. Most likely, she wanted the magic weapon or something left by Ning Mi.
He knew clearly in his heart that those things should belong to Leng Zhuxin and most likely have been taken away by Leng Zhuxin. Naturally, he said, "Why don't you tell me what they are first, Miss? You should be able to remember your own things, right? I can help you think about whether they are still in the mansion."
