Chapter 1347: Second Aunt Leng’s Long-standing Discontent with Mengyu
Second Aunt Leng naturally knew that Uncle Leng was dissatisfied with his niece and kept glaring at her, signaling her to control her. But what if she just didn’t want to care?
In reality, she had been displeased with Mengyu for a long time.
Firstly, because Mengyu refused to acknowledge the Leng Family, she had immediately retorted, "She’s an orphan, shouldn’t she be eager to acknowledge relatives when they recognize her? What right does she have to be unwilling?"
If it weren’t for Second Uncle stopping her at the time, she would have said something even harsher.
Secondly, naturally, because after Mengyu did not recognize the Leng Family as her grandparents’ home, her husband acknowledged Mengyu as his goddaughter without her consent.
She always believed that the Leng Family of the Northeast was not inferior to the aristocratic families of the Capital City. Who wouldn’t want to curry favor with the Leng Family? Mengyu recognizing her husband as a godfather must have been intending to take advantage of their family.
Moreover, since most children in this generation of the Leng Family were boys and not girls, her niece was very welcomed in the Leng Family. If they recognized Mengyu back, it would definitely take away the affection for her own niece.
Thus, she was not enthusiastic about acknowledging Mengyu at all.
Therefore, when she heard that Mengyu has recognized the Nan Family, the Leng Family immediately wanted to see Mengyu and bring her to the Leng Family for the New Year.
Since they were coming to get Mengyu, it was naturally best for the two uncles to go, but Eldest Aunt wanted to see her lifesaver, so she decided to bring her son to see Mengyu, leading to the decision of the whole family of three coming.
Second Uncle Leng, the Northeast Tiger, also planned to come, and Second Aunt Leng, Lin Xiang’s eyes flickered a few times and proposed to join.
Furthermore, she suggested bringing her niece Lin Shasha, who lived with the Leng Family long-term, along.
On the day they were supposed to set out, something suddenly needed to be handled at home, so Second Uncle Leng couldn’t go, but since the tickets were already bought, they decided to let his son, Leng Zirong, go in his place.
Uncle Leng thought that his sister-in-law just wanted to take this opportunity to visit the Capital City, but he didn’t expect that she, in fact, intended to make things difficult for Mengyu and prevent her from returning to the Leng Family.
However, as an elder, Second Aunt Leng was not in a position to say unpleasant things, thus Lin Shasha played her role.
This was why Lin Shasha repeatedly provoked Mengyu with words.
Observing the behavior of the second sister-in-law and niece, Uncle Leng was quite displeased: What on earth do they mean to do?
At this moment, hearing Lin Shasha’s smug ingratitude after acquiring the Da Hong Pao Tea, feigning a complaint about Mengyu not bringing out her good tea, he started to ponder: Is she trying to incite his dissatisfaction with Mengyu?
In his view, Mengyu would absolutely not serve leftover tea to him but rather, this tea might be meant to be drunk in this manner.
Besides, Mengyu did not hesitate to offer Wuyi Mountain Big Red Robe, surely not a stingy person. Perhaps there was something magical about the tea she brewed herself.
When he heard Mengyu inviting them to tea, he lifted his cup. Just from a sniff, his face changed.
Uncle Leng hadn’t previously noticed the scent of the tea because Mengyu was preventing the dispersion of spiritual energy by locking the aroma of the tea.
However, once the tea reached his hand, that small restriction locking the aroma was destroyed. Then, the scent began to penetrate his nose, an unprecedented aroma, and just one whiff invigorated him quite a bit. Uncle Leng immediately realized this tea was extraordinary, unfathomable by Wuyi Mountain Big Red Robe standards.
He lifted the teacup, quickly sipped a small mouthful, then another. Thereafter, he drank continuously and finished the entire cup in one go.
