“Bang!”
Leng Yu picked up the account book on the table and threw it heavily at Leng Ming's feet. He roared with an angry face:
"Leng Ming, you really disappoint me. I originally thought you were just not calm enough and not careful enough. If you just calmed down and studied hard, you would definitely achieve something in the future. I never expected that not only would you not appreciate it, but you actually suspected that I was deliberately making things difficult for you. Since you think so, then I'm sorry that I can't keep you, a big Buddha, in this military camp. You should find a better job somewhere else."
Leng Ming stood there, his fists clenched tightly together, his handsome eyes widened like copper bells, he bit his lips and said hatefully:
"Isn't this what you had in mind? You never thought about letting me accomplish anything from the beginning to the end. You just wanted to suppress me. First, you made me work as a proofreader in the library, flipping through those crappy books all day, making me dizzy. Then I finally begged you to let me work in the military camp, but you ended up asking me to manage that crappy warehouse. Your military camp is so big, can't it accommodate me? Well, since you can't accommodate me, I, Leng Ming, will leave."
After saying this, he angrily swung his sleeves and turned around. Leng Yu was so angry at his words that his face turned pale. He glared at his back and shouted angrily:
"If you walk out of this door, don't come to me again if you have any problems."
Leng Ming stopped, turned his back to him, and snorted coldly without turning his head.
"I, Leng Ming, swear here that even if I have to beg for food in the future, I will never ask you, Leng Yu, for help."
Leaving these heartless words behind, he swung his clothes and strode towards the door.
Looking at his back, Xiao Lingzi was about to step forward and speak with some concern, but Leng Yu waved his hand to stop him. Then he looked at Old Wu standing in front of him, and suddenly raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table. Old Wu was frightened and beads of sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead.
"General Ling, call Zhang Yuan and Queen Ayu. The four of you will personally go to the warehouse to check the quantity of the items stored and report to me within three days."
Xiao Lingzi clasped his fists and replied solemnly:
"I understand."
Old Wu was trembling, not daring to speak. Leng Yu looked at him with dark eyes and waved to the guards outside the door.
"Someone, arrange a special room for Old Wu so he can have a good rest for a few days."
Hearing this, Old Wu knew that something was wrong, and he quickly knelt on his knees.
"General, I'm not tired, so I don't need to rest."
Leng Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Old Wu, and replied coldly:
"You are not tired, but I am afraid that you are tired. Come, drag him away."
"General, please spare my life, General, please spare my life!"
Old Wu wanted to plead for mercy, but was dragged away by two guards.
Xiao Lingzi stepped forward and asked puzzledly:
"Your Highness, Old Wu only stole cloth from the army once, and he hasn't done anything wrong since. Furthermore, he has been diligently guarding the warehouse. Would you mind giving him some leniency?"
Leng Yu looked towards the door and said sternly:
"The state has its laws, and the army has its regulations. If he doesn't follow the regulations, he will be punished by military law, no matter what the reason."
"But he..."
"Stop talking."
Leng Yu sighed and waved his hand.
"Just do as I say. Find out the inventory data first and then make a decision."
"Yes, I understand."
Seeing Leng Yu's unhappy expression, Xiao Lingzi didn't dare to continue speaking. He could only clasp his fists and turn around to retreat.
When the place was empty, Leng Yu's brows suddenly tightened. Leng Ming's words just now made him feel chilled.
He never expected that not only did he not understand his good intentions, but he also said such decisive words to him. He hoped that this was just a momentary angry remark!
The military camp of Daning State was built outside the city, not far from the capital, but one still had to ride horses to and from the city.
Leng Ming came out of the military camp, riding on horseback, galloping hard on the official road leading to the capital.
When he was about to enter the city gate, he suddenly tightened the reins of his horse and stopped.
After leaving the military camp, he was determined to go straight to Huichuntang to complain to his fourth sister-in-law, but after being exposed to the wind along the way, his thoughts suddenly changed.
If he went to complain to his fourth sister-in-law and Luo Xue found out, she would definitely think he was incompetent and a troublemaker, because all of them would think Leng Yu was right and no one would understand him.
If you want to stand out, you don't necessarily have to rely on others, Leng Yu.
His mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly thought of his fifth brother, Leng Xi.
Although he was banned from entering the palace for five years by his father, he still held his official position and held considerable power. Perhaps he could find a place to use his talents by going to him?
Thinking of this, he spurred his horse and headed straight for Prince Xi's mansion.
Ever since Yu Qiaoqiao took Xiaobao back to her parents' home, the Prince Xi's Mansion has become much quieter, but Leng Xi feels like something is missing.
The butler stood beside him and said cautiously:
"Your Highness, the princess just sent a message, hoping...hoping that you send the divorce letter to the Shangshu Mansion as soon as possible."
This was the third time Yu Qiaoqiao came to urge him. Leng Xi sat there quietly with his eyes half closed.
Every time Yu Qiaoqiao came to urge him, his anger would burn in his chest, but for some reason, he tried hard to suppress it.
He could divorce Qiaoqiao, but he absolutely couldn't let her bring it up first.
It's not that he didn't want to sign the divorce letter. He just felt that once the divorce letter was signed, Yu Shiming would definitely no longer be on the same page with him. By then, he would lose more than just a woman.
But on the day Xiaobao fell ill, he had already said in public that he wanted to divorce Yu Qiaoqiao. Now, a few days have passed, and Yu Qiaoqiao has repeatedly sent people to urge him to divorce. If the divorce letter is not issued, people will probably think that he is a person who goes back on his word, and that he cannot live without Yu Qiaoqiao, and that his wish to divorce her is just a temper tantrum.
Caught in a dilemma, he suddenly didn't know what to do.
Helpless, he could only let go.
"Go tell the person who came here to ask Yu Qiaoqiao to send Xiaobao back, and I will give you my divorce letter."
He used Xiaobao as an excuse again. He was sure that Yu Qiaoqiao would not abandon Xiaobao out of hatred. So he would delay it for now. Now he was forbidden to enter the palace by his father. If he broke off the engagement with the Yu family, it would surely become a topic of conversation among the people. Then the image he had tried so hard to build in the hearts of the people would collapse in an instant. He absolutely could not fail at this time.
"Fifth brother, can you take me in here?"
Just as he was lost in thought, Leng Ming walked in angrily. Before he even got close, he started yelling again:
"Just arrange an errand for me. I, Leng Ming, am not a useless person. I won't cause you any trouble."
Leng Ming's inexplicable words made Leng Xi smile complacently.
He had known for a long time that Leng Ming had been arranged by Leng Yu to work in the military camp. Now seeing him coming in angrily and saying such words, he must have had a falling out with Leng Yu.
This is the best, this is exactly the result he wants. Now there are only three princes in Daning Kingdom. If Leng Ming is of the same mind as him, it will be much easier for him to do things.
Thinking of this, he stood up and went out to greet him, and asked softly to Leng Ming who had just arrived at the door:
"Ming'er, what's wrong? Who made you so angry?"
