Chapter 374 Choosing a Son-in-Law

The Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Pill invented by our ancestors has been praised as a myth by the outside world for hundreds of years. In fact, this medicine does have miraculous effects, but it is not as exaggerated as bringing the dead back to life.

It is equivalent to an enhanced version of ginseng, which can prolong life for healthy people.

You can prolong the life of a dying person, but if the person’s luck has run out, can you still snatch him away from the King of Hell?

"The ancestor did pass down five Nine-transformation Soul-restoring Pills, but when they were passed to me, there were only two left. One of them was auctioned off many years ago, and unfortunately, I gave the remaining one away not long ago. Miss Yu, you are too late."

Yu Ruohuan narrowed her eyes, "Lengshan, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."

Leng Shan said calmly: "My granddaughter's future is still in your hands, why should I lie to you?"

"Who did you give it to?"

Fir was silent for a moment: "Mr. Amos."

"It's him again." Yu Ruohuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Was this Amos deliberately making things difficult for the Yu family?

"In this case, Miss Leng can only be dealt with by the law. Take her away."

Two policemen stepped forward, took out handcuffs and were about to handcuff Leng Xingshuang.

Leng Xingshuang struggled desperately, shouting heartbreakingly: "Grandpa, save me..."

Leng Shan's heart was torn by what he said. Seeing Leng Xingshuang about to be taken away, Leng Shan suddenly said, "Although I don't have the Nine Revolutions Soul-Restoring Pill, I found the method of refining the Nine Revolutions Soul-Restoring Pill in the notes left by my ancestors. Once I have collected all the herbs, I can refine a new Nine Revolutions Soul-Restoring Pill."

Yu Ruohuan suddenly raised her head and looked deeply at Lengshan, as if she was pondering the truthfulness of his words.

"Can you refine a new Nine-transformation Soul-restoring Pill?"

Leng Baizhu was a famous doctor throughout China a hundred years ago. His name has become a symbol and his medicine-making skills are superb. How could Leng Shan compare with him?
"Miss Yu, please wait a moment."

Fir left the living room and went to the second floor.

In just a few minutes, Lengshan came down from the second floor, holding a rectangular rosewood box in his hand.

"I heard that Madam Yu has been feeling unwell recently. This is a hundred-year-old wild ginseng that I accidentally found when I went to Changbai many years ago to collect herbs. It can help the old lady survive. It's a small gift, please accept it."

When Yu Ruohuan opened the lid, a refreshing scent of fairy grass wafted into her nose, making her ears and eyes clear and her soul cleansed.

I saw a small wild ginseng lying in the box. Although it was small, it had the shape of a human, and it looked quite remarkable.

This thing was well preserved. Yu Ruohuan glanced at Fir. The Leng family's collection was definitely a top-notch item that could not be bought outside.

Yu Ruohuan waved her hand, and her subordinate stepped forward and took the rosewood box in his hand.

"Mr. Leng, I hope you keep your word and refine the Nine-transformation Soul-restoring Pill as soon as possible. Otherwise, I can file a lawsuit against Miss Leng at any time."

After he finished speaking, he walked away.

A group of people left in a mighty manner.

Leng Xingshuang glared at Yu Ruohuan's receding back with hatred, then she came to her senses and ran towards Leng Shan, crying, "Grandpa, that was your most precious thing, you wanted to keep it for yourself, why did you give it to Yu Ruohuan..."

Leng Shan seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and sighed helplessly: "They are all external things, which we cannot bring with us when we are born and cannot take with us when we die. How can they be as important as you."

Leng Xingshuang hugged Lengshan and cried, "Grandpa, this is all my fault, you can scold me or hit me..."

Leng Shan was surprisingly calm this time and patted Leng Xingshuang on the back: "As long as you are fine, that's all."

Leng Xingshuang gritted her teeth in anger: "Grandpa, Yu Ruohuan is too much. She has not yet settled the score with me for murdering me. How dare she threaten you? Yu Ruohuan is just a robber and bandit. Bah, she actually set her eyes on our Leng family's Nine Revolutions Soul-Restoring Pill. Dream on."

Leng Xingshuang became more and more excited as she scolded, wishing she could skin Yu Ruohuan alive.

"Isn't the lesson I taught you this time enough?" Leng Shan said in a deep voice.

Leng Xingshuang bit her lip and lowered her head guiltily: "Grandpa, I was wrong. I will be calm in what I say and do in the future."

Leng Shan looked at the red-eyed girl in front of him and sighed, "Grandpa is old and can't protect you for a few more years. What will you do when grandpa is gone?" Leng Xingshuang's tears rolled down like beads from a broken string and she threw herself into Leng Shan's arms, "Grandpa, I don't want you to leave, wuwu..."

"Only Yun Yang can protect you. Don't quarrel with him anymore. Get along well with him."

Leng Xingshuang muttered softly: "Even if I am willing to get along with him, it depends on his attitude. He must be annoyed with me. Besides, if he marries a wife in the future, I will be even more of an eyesore. Without Grandpa, there will be no place for me in the Leng family..."

Leng Xingshuang cried so miserably and pitifully that Lengshan felt uncomfortable listening to her.

The conflict between Yunyang and Xingshuang is irreconcilable. The child's personality and temperament are unpredictable. One can imagine how miserable Xingshuang's life will be under him in the future. His doting has made Xingshuang develop an aggressive and impulsive character. Without anyone to protect her, her future will be difficult.

Marriage is a major turning point in a woman’s life. Brothers are unreliable, so what if we find a reliable husband for Xingshuang?

Lengshan fell into deep thought. He went over in his mind the young men of the same age as Xingshuang that he knew. The kid from the Gu family is pretty good. He and Xingshuang have been childhood sweethearts. He comes from a decent family and is a gentleman and humble person. His family is simple. Madam Gu and Gu Chengzhao are both easy to talk to. Xingshuang will definitely not suffer if she marries into the family.

However, although the Gu family is noble, they have no real power and have always stayed out of affairs and protected themselves. Can they withstand the Yu family?

Leng Shan asked tentatively, "Why did Bi Chen block the knife for Yu Ruohuan? Tell Grandpa, what happened at the party last night?"

Speaking of this, Leng Xingshuang cried even more miserably: "Don't mention Gu Bichen to me, he is a traitor, he is with Yu Ruohuan."

Leng Shan was shocked: "What did you say?"

Gu Bichen and Yu Ruohuan are together? This is like a bolt from the blue. What is the Gu family thinking? Why do they have to wade into muddy water?

"Grandpa." Leng Xingshuang cried very sadly: "If he didn't like Yu Ruohuan, why would he take the knife for her? Moreover, the two of them have been dating frequently in the past two months and even went to the opera together. He is no longer the old brother Bi Chen."

Lengshan felt mixed emotions and silently crossed Gu Bichen off the list of his grandson-in-law.

Who else, the kid from the Wen family? No, the Wen family has always been obedient to the Yu family. If Xing Shuang marries into the family, she will probably have a hard time.

Lengshan thought for a long time and felt that there was probably no family force in China that could compete with the Yu family.

Leng Shan suddenly had an idea and thought of the Xiao family. The Yu family had spent decades of manpower, material resources and financial resources, but still could not do anything to the Xiao family. The Xiao family was located in Yun and An states, occupying a vast land, keeping a low profile, and lying dormant, just waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. It was still unknown who would be the winner in the future.

It’s just a pity that the Xiao family has always been mysterious, and the younger generation never shows themselves in public.

At this time, the housekeeper came over and interrupted his thoughts: "Sir, Mr. Amos invites you to meet him at Ziruixuan."

Before Leng Shan could answer, Leng Xingshuang said excitedly, "Mr. Amos? Is he the blue-eyed boy who saved me that day?"

Leng Xingshuang had been dreaming about those eyes and that face recently, and she had developed unspeakable girlish thoughts about them without knowing when.

Lengshan looked at Leng Xingshuang's expression and did not miss the shyness in the girl's eyes. A bold idea came into his mind.

He only focuses on the domestic situation. Why doesn't he look abroad?

Mr. Amos comes from a top chaebol family. He has achieved success in his career at a young age. Not only is he of similar age to Xingshuang, he is also Xingshuang's savior.

Let’s not talk about personal relationships, just interests. He and Mr. Amos are in a cooperative relationship, and only when interests are tied together can there be long-term stability.

Moreover, the power of the Murphy family is far abroad, and no matter how powerful the Yu family is, they cannot reach them.

The only variable is Amos's unpredictable temper.

Overall, it's worth a try.

The butler glanced at Lengshan, smiled and nodded: "It's him."

Leng Xingshuang shook Lengshan's arm: "Grandpa, can you take me with you?"

Lengshan smiled and nodded: "Go and dress up nicely."

Leng Xingshuang ran a few steps away and then turned back, her little hands tugging at the corner of her clothes anxiously: "Grandpa, no matter how angry I am with Brother Bichen, I can't forget how good he was to me before, not to mention that I really hurt him with a knife, I wonder how he is...now?"

"Your second uncle performed the operation himself. Don't worry, he's fine. Grandpa will take you to the hospital to visit him when you have time."

Knowing that Gu Bichen was fine, Leng Xingshuang breathed a sigh of relief and went upstairs happily.
