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

"Mom, I just didn't expect them to be so cruel."

When Mr. Leng and the others heard her words, no one said anything. It was not difficult to see from the expressions on their faces that they were not surprised.

"Your marriage with him was calculated by them back then. Now you are no longer useful to them, so naturally they won't keep you. Actually, it's good this way. Our family can still rely on each other." Old Master Leng was not good at saying comforting words, but this sentence also showed his attitude.

"Okay, let's go back and rest. Let's have a good night's rest today."

Leng Youran leaned over and watched the family slowly leave below. The backs of each of them looked so lonely.

There is a feeling of sadness.

After they left, Old Master Leng didn't even raise his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "How long are you going to listen?"

Leng Youran was suddenly stunned. It turned out that the old man had already discovered her.

She also thinks she is very capable!

It seems that the one who hides the most in this family is the old man!

After being discovered, Leng Youran no longer had any intention of hiding and slipped into the study.

"grandfather."

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Leng Youran didn't know how to answer when he asked her this, and a flattering smile appeared on her face.

Seeing her like this, Old Master Leng didn't have the heart to say anything harsh. "You came back two days ago, didn't you?"

"Yeah, I'm back."

"You're not trying to hide it. Since you've been back, you should have heard it. Why don't you leave here quickly?"

"Ran'er just wants to accompany you, grandfather."

After hearing her words, Old Master Leng's heart softened a bit. "Now that you've seen it, shouldn't you leave here sooner? I think it will be even harder for you to leave once our incident happens tomorrow. Listen to Grandfather, go back tonight and take the four of them away first. If... if you're worried about us, you can wait for us outside the city."

Old Master Leng could see that his granddaughter must be worried about them, so she came back again and again to inquire about the news.

He couldn't tell how he felt about her behavior.

I feel indebted, guilty, reluctant, and a little angry.

However, what he didn't expect was that this granddaughter who had just returned had such good martial arts skills.

Although I was a little curious about why she had such skills, I felt relieved when I thought about her different experience from others.

There are so many strange things about this child, so it's normal for him to have some abilities that ordinary people don't have.

He would not ask his granddaughter what she had experienced, but would wait until the day when she was willing to tell him.

"Grandfather, I'm not leaving because I want to be with you. Another reason is that I want to know if the Leng family's misfortunes are all because of me."

Old Master Leng was not surprised that she would think of this. He nodded slightly and then shook his head gently, "Yes and no."

"Yes and no? What does that mean?"

"There are some things Grandfather cannot tell you now. I will tell you when I have the chance. What you need to know is that Grandfather sent you away for your own good."

"I know this, but Grandfather, you..."

"Okay, I think the Taoist priest has also told you that there are some things that you are not suitable to know now, right? Grandfather didn't say it, of course, there must be a reason why he couldn't say it."

How could he describe such a horrifying thing? Not to mention others, he was also shocked when he first found out.

Besides, now is not the right time, let’s talk about it later!

Seeing his tone, Leng Youran knew there was no point in asking further.

"Well, you've pretty much learned everything you could possibly know. It's time for you to go. Don't let your grandfather's plans for you go to waste."

Leng Youran didn't move at all when she heard him order her to leave. She was still wondering if her grandfather didn't tell her because he thought she was a dodder that needed protection. Should she show off her skills to reassure him? At the very least, she had to get some useful information out of her tonight.

"Grandfather, where is the place you are going?"

Old Master Leng didn't expect that she would be so eager to know. After all, their place of exile should be known to everyone in two days.

"The North."

Northland...

Leng Youran recalled in her mind what she had heard from Hua Qinrou that day, as well as all the information she had let Huanhuan and the others know about the situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the past two days.

Extremely cold place.

Not only is it cold, but the people there are also extremely cruel and vicious.

Most of the people there are exiled prisoners. Over time, they have become a group of their own. For outsiders, it is not easy to survive, not to mention being bullied.

It seems that the new emperor really wants to kill everyone!

"I see. Then it's time for you to leave!" Master Leng urged.

It's not that he doesn't trust his granddaughter, but he doesn't want her to be in danger.

He asked her to fake her death because he didn't want her to follow them to the North. Now that the child was asking questions, he knew he couldn't hide it from her. He could only pray in his heart that the child would not be so stubborn.

"Grandfather, you've been planning for so long. Have you prepared for the Northland?"

Old Master Leng was completely defeated by her character of getting to the bottom of things. It seemed that if she didn't tell him some news she wanted to know tonight, the child would not leave.

"We've already planted our people in Liang Province. As for the Northland... I think you've gotten to know it pretty well these days. Just having money and power isn't enough to get you in. In other words, while we're plotting, the others won't just sit there and wait for death. Do you understand?"

Leng Youran naturally knew that the Third Prince could ascend the throne in such a short time. She didn't believe that he had no plans. However, she still felt a little emotional. The Leng family had been planning for ten years but no one had infiltrated the Northland. How deep must the Third Prince's plans be?

Considering his age, doesn't that mean that person was already quite cunning when he was only eleven or twelve years old?

"Then, if there is something that Grandfather wants to take away but can't, I can take it out."

Old Master Leng wasn't curious about what she said, and shook his head slightly, "It's useless. I think when you came here, you should have noticed that there were many secret guards outside our house. You should know who they are. Besides, you might be able to leave by yourself. If you really..."

Before he could finish his words, the person who had been standing below raised his hand and waved the chairs that were originally placed below the study, and they disappeared.

Old Master Leng's face was full of surprise.

"You...what are you doing?"

“Could it be…?”

"Child, let me see the wooden sign on your neck." Old Master Leng's face was full of surprise. He no longer cared about his demeanor as a patriarch. He suddenly stood up from his chair and walked straight to Leng Youran.

The outstretched hand was trembling.

Seeing him like this, Leng Youran took off the wooden sign from her neck and handed it to him.
