Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"Yes, yes, niece, although we haven't met since you grew up, I have known about you for a long time. Whether you were born..."

"Cough cough cough...."

Before Governor Leng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Old Man Leng's light cough.

Leng Youran didn't understand anything, so she glanced at Old Man Leng's face.

Old Master Leng didn't meet her eyes, but looked at Leng Chengye and Leng Chengdong. "You two should go out first. You Ran has something to discuss with Heng'er later. You should go and see how the family dinner is going. There are so many guests today, and you, as the host, should go out and entertain them."

Leng Chengye and Leng Chengdong looked at each other. Why did they have to go and greet the guests as soon as Raner came back? Wasn’t that what they had said before?

However, they did not dare to object to Mr. Leng's orders. They said hello to Leng Heng and left.

After the two of them left, Leng Youran asked, "Did Uncle already arrange an identity for me?"

Leng Heng didn't say anything but looked at Old Man Leng who was sitting in the upper seat, and saw Old Man Leng nodded.

Then he smiled and said, "Yes, you don't know that not long after you were born, your identity was recorded in my family tree."

When he said this, he glanced at Old Man Leng who was sitting in the upper seat with a somewhat resentful look.

"Humph, my adoptive father expelled me from the family tree because of you."

Leng Youran had no idea that such a thing existed, and looked curiously at the silent Old Man Leng.

Being stared at by the two, Old Master Leng awkwardly took a sip of the tea bowl before pretending nothing had happened and said, "You wanted to protect you, and now you're blaming me?"

Leng Heng was used to coaxing people. Seeing that the old man was angry, he immediately took two steps forward and used his big palms to knead the old man's shoulders, "How could it be? I thought that my daughter had been in our family tree for a long time, but my wife never even saw her once after she grew up. You, godfather, are the same. Since you gave Ran'er to me back then, why didn't you send her here for me to raise? You let her stay in a den of wolves like the capital? Look, my delicate daughter's face is now... not rough, huh? My daughter is naturally beautiful... hehehe..."

Old Master Leng slapped the big hand on his shoulder away in annoyance, "Okay, sit down and talk."

Leng Heng was not pretentious and followed Old Man Leng's instructions and obediently returned to his original seat.

Old Master Leng felt amused watching the two of them interacting with each other.

The two of them get along much better than my father and second uncle get along with the old man.

"Not long after you were born, to ensure your identity wouldn't be suspected in the future, your grandfather had your uncle secretly add you to the family tree. In the capital, you were Leng Youran, the daughter of Leng Chengye. Here, you are Leng Youran, the daughter of Leng Heng."

"Yes, my daughter, I'm not calling you that for nothing. Although you haven't seen me, I held you in my arms when you were little, as did your aunt. It's just that we didn't expect you to not come here as your grandfather instructed. If we had known you were like this, we wouldn't have to stay here all these years and would have returned to the capital to reunite with your adoptive father long ago."

Old Master Leng rolled his eyes at Leng Heng and said, "Come on, if you go back I'll break your legs."

"Hehe, hehe, I'm just talking, just talking."

Leng Heng was completely shameless in front of the old man.

Leng Youran was amused by his expression. "Uncle, how did you announce me to the public?"

"Oh, isn't this simple? I've been in poor health since I was a child and have been raised in the farm. In order to make it look realistic, your aunt has been running back to the farm outside the city quite often over the years."

Leng Youran was touched. It turned out that there were people who did so many things for her in places she didn't know about.

When her grandfather showed her the way that day, she had doubted what kind of person could be so bold as to take over such a hot potato as hers.

Only now did I realize that my grandfather had really done a lot for her, even arranging her future life so well.

There is also her other "mother" whom she has never met. Although she has not seen her yet, she almost guessed that she must be a kind mother.

"Does your uncle have any brothers or sisters?"

Leng Heng was a little upset when he talked about this. "There are two brats. They are older than you. You will see them when you have the chance. They are very naughty..."

Leng Youran roughly understood from his words that because of Old Man Leng, Leng Heng's family did not have any concubines or the like, and the couple lived in harmony. She didn't know if it was because the couple were too harmonious that two stubborn people appeared in the family.

Those who don’t like to read have all gone to the border to serve as soldiers, and only come back once every three to five years.

"Then didn't your aunt come today?"

Leng Heng glanced at Old Man Leng and thought, isn't it your grandfather who doesn't allow me to speak out?

He came here secretly.

Old Master Leng noticed his gaze and said slowly, "Don't be so weird. Go back and bring Haolan here. It's a good opportunity for our family to get together. The people who come today are not strangers, so it's a good opportunity to get to know each other."

"Okay, I'll go get Haolan right away." Leng Heng didn't care about any formalities when he heard the old man's words, and disappeared into the study in a flash.

Leng Youran......

This shows that the two cousins ​​in his family whom he had never met must look very much like this uncle.

She even suspected that if her grandfather hadn't made other arrangements for him, he shouldn't have been a civil servant with his personality.

"Do you see that your uncle has a erratic personality?"

Leng Youran nodded, "Yeah, it's really out of the ordinary."

"I picked up this child when he was very young. He also had a miserable life. His family was hit by a flood, and I accidentally saved him. He actually wanted to learn martial arts, but because of me, he embarked on the path of imperial examinations. But Leng Heng is very smart. Don't be fooled by his carefree appearance. He is proficient in both literature and martial arts, and his talent and knowledge are comparable to your father."

"It can be seen that uncle is not an ordinary person."

"Well, in order to prevent you from being criticized when you return, he has been sitting on the position of governor for ten years."

Leng Youran understood.

Such a person is really not comparable to ordinary people. After all, it is difficult to stay in the same position without adjustment or demotion, but he did it.

"Your aunt...never mind, you'll see her soon." Old Master Leng originally wanted to introduce Qiao Haolan to Leng Youran, but after thinking about it, he decided to say something.

Leng Youran became even more curious when he saw this.

In a moment, she knew why her grandfather didn't say the rest of the words.

"Ahem, aunt, can you please let me go first? I, I can't breathe..."

She really couldn't handle such enthusiasm.

She only remembered that something suddenly rushed over and held her in its arms, and just cried loudly for a long time without saying anything.
