Chapter 2436 I almost wanted to copy stinky socks to give this kid a boost
Concubine Yuwen bit her lip, not knowing whether she should agree with her husband or not.
At this time, Li Yuan, who was squinting his eyes comfortably, continued.
"Nine times out of ten, it was the little girl from the Wang family in Taiyuan who thought Luoyang was the land of Bingzhou, so she offended that boy."
"My husband is right. Although Cheng Sanlang is not big-hearted, he is not someone who likes to cause trouble."
"It's just that, as long as someone provokes this kid..."
Having said this, Concubine Yuwen was embarrassed to continue talking.
On the contrary, Li Yuan grinned happily. "Haha, yes, this brat wants to take revenge on others, and his destructive tricks are hard to guard against."
"Even I have suffered losses several times. Alas...if he hadn't been Xiao Sizi's husband, I would have had to take action myself."
"What you are saying is that you are sensible and don't have the same knowledge as that kid."
Looking at her husband's proud smiling face, Concubine Yuwen finally managed to control her emotions.
I've seen you take action many times. I'm obviously your husband. You can't chase that kid away, okay?
However, considering the husband's face, there is no need to point out such small flaws in person, as it will ruin the relationship between the couple.
Besides, my husband and that boy, one old and one young, although the way they get along is very informal, they get along very happily.
Princess Yuwen still remembered the last time, that brat Cheng Sanlang encouraged little Sizi to go fishing in the Crystal Palace, which made her husband so angry that she couldn't express it in front of little Sizi.
I tried to make trouble and kick the boy several times, but Cheng Sanlang was as slippery as a loach and wandered around the little Sizi and himself, causing my husband to kick him in vain several times.
He found an excuse to ask Cheng Sanlang to accompany him for a walk, but the boy kept a three-step distance from him very vigilantly, and saw the old man and the young man chasing him over there.
Seeing herself and Xiao Sizi laughing so hard that they couldn't even straighten their waists, Princess Yuwen couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Yuan asked casually with his eyes closed.
"I just thought of the way the little guy smiled so sweetly at me today."
Li Yuan opened his eyes. "Hearing what you said, I want to go see that kid."
"Alright, husband, it's late at night, don't make any fuss, I'll comb your hair, and then get some rest. If you sleep well, you'll feel better the next day."
"Okay, okay, listen to your concubine..."

In Duke Lu's mansion, General Cheng was happily playing cards with Cheng Qibao and Cheng Laoliu.
Cheng Laoliu and General Cheng had their faces covered with notes. Only Cheng Qibao, who looked proud, had three or five stickers on his cute little face.
Cheng Sanlang and other grown-up brothers squatted aside, playing cards and bragging in a low voice.
Uncle Fu also smiled and accompanied Cheng Sanlang and the eldest brother Cheng Chumo to fight for the landlord. Today, Uncle Fu had great luck and won the eldest and third son of the Cheng family with notes all over their faces.
As for the second brother Cheng Chuliang, who shared the table with the fourth and fifth brothers, he was very happy and happy.
The two younger brothers, whose faces were full of notes, were so disheartened that they refused to fight several times, and were dragged back by the second brother to continue.
At this moment, Eunuch Zhongbao had already rolled off his saddle and dismounted at the door of the mansion. The Cheng family members guarding the door did not dare to neglect the confidants around His Majesty the Supreme Emperor.
He quickly led the way and led Eunuch Zhongbao towards the front hall quickly.
Just as Eunuch Zhongbao was climbing up the stairs, the Cheng family members who were a few steps ahead rushed to the door of the hall and shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Eunuch Zhongbao is here?" Cheng Sanlang, who was about to put the newly torn note on his face, raised his head in astonishment.
Mr. Zhongbao just finished climbing the steps and was about to enter the hall when he suddenly saw the brightly lit front hall of Mr. Lu's mansion, which was like a replica gathering hall.
There are no facial features visible at all where faces should be, they are all broken pieces swaying in the wind.
Even though Eunuch Zhongbao has been through many trials and hardships, he has seen countless big scenes, but at this moment, he was still trembling with fright, and even the old face of Lao Mo De, who was full of emotion, was instantly shattered.
General Cheng quickly raised his hand and wiped it on his face, then pulled off the note stuck on his face.
"Oh, it turns out to be Eunuch Zhongbao. Sorry, haha, Lao Cheng is playing with the children here."
Father-in-law Zhongbao looked at the notes plastered all over the faces of this family, and saluted Cheng Yaojin with a dumbfounded expression.
"...I have met Mr. Lu. Following the instructions of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, our family has come to see Cheng Sanlang."
Cheng Chubi had also pulled the note off his face, revealing his handsome face as the most handsome boy in the Cheng family.
After he came forward and bowed, he saw the look in Eunuch Zhongbao's eyes and walked to a quiet place aside.
The first sentence of Eunuch Zhongbao went straight to the point. "His Majesty the Emperor asked us to ask you, did you have a conflict with the Taiyuan Wang's daughter?"
After hearing this, the smile on Cheng Chubi's face faded.
"I also ask Eunuch Zhongbao to report back to the emperor on behalf of Cheng. My son-in-law is acting in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. This cannot be called a conflict, but can only be called a civil dispute."
"...Please tell me carefully so that we can report it to Your Majesty."
Cheng Chubi was not polite at the moment and took a stroll to inspect the bridge project. As a result, he encountered a group of evil forces from a wealthy family lining up in order.
They even drove the people away arbitrarily and caused them to fall into the water.
As the parent official of Luoyang, Cheng Sanlang, who adheres to the bottom line of morality, would certainly not allow such a thing to happen before his eyes.
At this moment, in the front hall, he was under the gaze of several sons and daughters.
General Cheng was like a nimble and vigorous panther, walking along the wall until he reached a certain point and then put his ear against the wall.
He closed his eyes and listened carefully to the faint voices coming from outside.
"Of course I wanted to stand up and speak out, but I didn't expect that the Liu family in Hedong and the Wang family in Taiyuan were unreasonable and regarded the national law as nothing.
Even court officials like Cheng were enslaved by them to commit murder and were seriously injured..."
Seeing Cheng Sanlang's expression full of grief and anger, saliva flying everywhere, and heartbroken, Eunuch Zhongbao almost wanted to copy the smelly socks to cheer this boy up.
"...Cheng Sanlang, can you be more reliable in what you say? How do you look like you are injured when you are so full of energy?"
"Haha... Eunuch Zhongbao, this can only mean that Cheng has a good physique, and now he is forcing himself to talk to you here."
"Did you insist on playing cards there just now?" Eunuch Zhongbao said softly with an emotionless face.
"Okay, okay, our family already knows about it, let's go and report it to His Majesty the Emperor."
"By the way, His Majesty the Emperor has one more thing to tell you, Cheng Sanlang, that the eldest princess Tong'an is a bit hasty.
Therefore, you, this junior, for the sake of the Emperor, please do not conflict with Princess Tong'an face to face."
