"Leng Sa! Sa Sa! Leng Mingyue!" In the serene and beautiful campus of An Lan University in Yong City, a young girl dressed in a blue and black school uniform was strolling along with a few books in her arms. A series of urgent cries came from behind. The young girl turned around and saw a sweet-looking, slightly chubby girl chasing after her, followed by another girl in green clothes with two braids and an anxious expression on her face.

"Sa… Whew Whew, why are you walking so fast?" The girl finally caught up and leaned on the young girl's shoulder, gasping for air.

The young girl helplessly reached out to support her. "What's the hurry? Jin Lan, why are you here?"

"Miss!" The girl in green was even more anxious, her eyes red, almost on the verge of tears. "Miss, bad news! Old Master wants you to go back quickly!"

"What happened?" Leng Sa asked with a frown.

The chubby girl held onto Leng Sa, saying, "Fu Yucheng… Fu Yucheng is going to marry Zheng Ying!"

Leng Sa was stunned as if hearing something funny. She shook her head and said, "How is that possible?"

The girl was so anxious she stomped her feet, pulling the girl in green beside her. "Jin Lan, you tell her!"

Jin Lan said with reddened eyes, "Miss, it's true! Old Master wants you to go back right away. The Fu family, Warlord Fu, and Madam are all here."

Leng Sa furrowed her brows and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Isn't Zheng Ying First Young Master Fu's fiancée? No matter how dissatisfied Fu Yucheng is with our Leng family, he can't possibly marry his future sister-in-law, right?"

The chubby girl glared at her exasperatedly. "Have you forgotten that half a year ago, the First Young Master of the Fu family…" The girl continued whispering, looking around to make sure no one was nearby. "The Young Master Fu is already crippled. How could the Zheng family marry their eldest daughter to a cripple?"

"Well… Although now is not ancient time and there aren't as many traditional customs, isn't it a bit improper for an engaged younger brother to break an engagement to marry his future sister-in-law?" Leng Sa pondered.

Jin Lan leaned in close to Leng Sa and whispered, "Miss, Miss Zheng… Miss Zheng is pregnant."

"…"

After a long silence, Leng Sa sighed, "This move hits the nail on the head, it's quite clever."

The chubby girl stomped her feet, annoyed, "You still have the time to think about this? Hurry back! If Fourth Young Master Fu breaks off the engagement, those people will drown you in their spit! And that Zheng Xian, she has always disliked you. We absolutely can't let her step on you!"

"What do you want me to do?" Leng Sa said helplessly.

"You have to snatch Fourth Young Master Fu back!" The chubby girl said decisively, "Nowadays in Yong City, there aren't many men who can compare to Fourth Young Master Fu."

Leng Sa looked up at the sky and muttered, "Thank you, but I don't have the habit of eating sh*t."

"What did you say?" The girl looked at Leng Sa suspiciously. Her voice was too soft for her to hear clearly.

Leng Sa shook her head. "Nothing. I'll go back first."

"Hurry up and go!" The chubby girl pushed her. "Hurry up, remember to stand up for yourself. If you are not harsh this time, you will be bullied to death by those b*tches in the future?! I'll take leave for you in the afternoon!"

Leng Sa nodded. "Alright, I'll get going then."

The chubby girl waved her hand and urged her on like she was shooing away a fly. "Just go!" Just as the bell for the class was ringing, the chubby girl quickly turned around and ran towards the direction of the teaching building. As she ran, she did not forget to look back and say, "Leng Mingyue, do your best!"

Leng Sa could not help but chuckle softly as she watched the girl leave.

"Miss?" Jin Lan worriedly looked at her young miss, hoping she wasn't upset.

"Miss, let's go back quickly."

Leng Sa nodded and murmured something softly.

The flustered Jin Lan didn't hear clearly. What her young miss said was…

"How dare that idiot cheat on me! He has a lot of guts."

The Leng Family was a prestigious scholarly family in An Xia Country. The current old master of the Leng Family was the late Emperor's teacher. Although the former emperor abdicated to his younger brother more than twenty years ago, and the current emperor had handed over governance to the people, the imperial family was now more of a symbol. However, the Emperor's teacher was still the Emperor's teacher. Twenty years ago, the Old Master of the Leng family had returned to his ancestral city of Yong City with his whole family, and though the Leng family had gradually declined over these years, their reputation remained. That's why three years ago, the third daughter of the Leng Family, Leng Sa, was able to get engaged to the Fourth Young Master of the Fu Family, who held great power over the Six Southern Provinces.

However, the engagement was originally set to be formalized when Leng Sa turned eighteen. Unexpectedly, half a year before her eighteenth birthday, Fourth Young Master Fu had already switched his affections. And he had switched to his future sister-in-law?

In the main hall of the Leng family.

"Elder Leng, this matter is the fault of my foolish son. I have no objections to how you punish him!" Warlord Fu, who was usually rich and dignified, pushed his son to the center of the hall, managing an awkward smile. Although the Fu family was powerful, they could not cover up this matter. At least, no matter how you looked at it, the Fu family was in the wrong. He did not have the face to use his power to oppress the Leng family over this matter. Otherwise, he would probably be ridiculed to death the next time he went to the capital.

Standing in the hall, Fourth Young Master Fu was just twenty years old, his appearance bearing a strong resemblance to Madam Fu. His slender almond-shaped eyes carried a hint of charm, although still youthful, he also carried a hint of youthful arrogance and spirit.

Old Master Leng with a head full of white hair tapped the ground twice with his walking stick and said, "What dissatisfaction does Fourth Young Master have with our Leng family to do something like this?"

The corners of Fourth Young Master Fu's mouth twitched, but he did not say anything.

Old Master Leng also acted as if he did not see it. "Even if Fourth Young Master doesn't like our Leng family and our Third Young Lady, just say it nicely. But now… What will become of the reputation of our Leng family and the Third Young Lady? How about the reputation of Fourth Young Master and First Young Master?"

Warlord Fu and his wife's expressions changed slightly, but they still didn't speak.

This matter was entirely Old Four's fault. He should be struck by lightning for what he had done. If this had happened in the past, he would probably have been dragged to the ancestral hall and punished.

Fourth Young Master Fu, however, didn't think that Old Master Leng had any right to criticize him. With his hands clasped behind his back, he said, "This matter concerns the Fu family, don't you think that you're meddling too much? As for Leng Mingyue, I never said I wanted to marry her!"

Old Master Leng was momentarily choked by him, but then he chuckled. "You're right, I'm an old busybody. If Fourth Young Master Fu doesn't like our young lady, you could have said so earlier. Now that things have come to this point… what will become of Third Young Lady in the future?"

Madam Fu coughed lightly, "Elder Leng, about this… should we have Second Madam and Mingyue discuss this together?"

"Grandfather, I'm here." Just as Madam Fu finished speaking, a faint voice sounded outside. "If Fourth Young Master Fu has anything to say, he can just say it."

Everyone turned around. The Second Master and Madam of the Leng family walked in with a girl in a school uniform.
