Chapter 2437 That old lady, cough, your aunt wants to deal with me
When Cheng Chubi heard this, he was a little unhappy, but considering that the old woman was in her seventies.
Forget it, I can't afford to offend her. If she really gets serious in person, if this old lady follows the example of Zhang Xuansu, the young master of the East Palace, she will just lie down on the ground and touch porcelain.
I can't explain it clearly even with my words. Besides, respecting the old and loving the young is a good social custom and there is no need for me to challenge it.
"Okay, please ask Eunuch Zhongbao to report back to the Supreme Emperor. Cheng will promise that he will never have a head-on conflict with Princess Tong'an."
"Really?" Seeing Cheng Sanlang give an affirmative answer in just a few blinks, Eunuch Zhongbao felt a little uneasy.
After all, Cheng Sanlang is the most manipulative young talent in the Tang Dynasty. Even if he agrees to you, this guy will definitely be able to solve the problem in unexpected ways.
Seeing the suspicious look on Eunuch Zhongbao's face, Cheng Sanlang was really unhappy.
"Don't worry, Cheng is a member of the Cheng family who knows how to respect the elderly and love the young. No matter what, it is impossible for him to have a head-on conflict with an elderly elder."
"Just tell His Majesty, my grandson-in-law will never say a word to Princess Tong'an, let alone meet her, even if I kill him."
Seeing that Cheng Sanlang had sworn about this affair, Eunuch Zhongbao's doubts gradually disappeared and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, we might as well go back and report to His Majesty and say goodbye."
Cheng Chubi personally and earnestly sent the eunuch, who was the physical and mental confidant of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, to the door of the palace. He watched him ride away on horseback and was about to turn around and return to the palace.

Turning around, he saw his father and several brothers standing in the door of the mansion. Cheng Sanlang was startled by those big, bright copper eyes.
"Dad, what are you doing here?"
"Dad, isn't he worried about you? Come in as quickly as you can. Come on, go to the front hall."
General Cheng waved his hand and marched ahead majestically. Of course General Cheng did not just want to find out more information.
The eldest brother Cheng Chumo patted Cheng Sanlang on the shoulder and raised his thumb towards the third brother.
"You are quite capable. You were able to provoke Princess Tong'an within a few days of entering Luoyang. Tsk tsk..."
"What does provoking mean? It's obviously them who provoked me, okay?"
Cheng Chubi muttered unhappily and quickly followed in his father's footsteps.
Soon the whole family was sitting neatly in a circle in the front hall.
General Cheng stroked his thick beard like a steel needle and listened to Cheng Sanlang explain the whole story again.
Hearing that he also had conflicts with the slave guards of the Liu family in Hedong and the Wang family in Taiyuan, General Cheng raised his eyebrows. "Have you suffered a loss? Have you got the evidence?"
Look, this is the old traitor, ahem...the scheming father immediately grasped the key point of the matter.
"Don't worry, dad. The kid was slapped on the body by the other party. The kid has already asked his men to put away the clothes carefully.
As a slave of those two families, it is irrefutable evidence that the guards beat the imperial officials."
"It even made people present to collect the testimonies of more than ten witnesses. In addition, His Highness King Wu was also present, and he watched the whole process."
Seeing the proud look of his own Saburo, General Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, okay, you did a good job. Our old Cheng family is responsible for this matter. Then I... ahem, the eldest princess is the elder."
"But regardless of the consequences of face, she came to find fault with you, the third child, for the little girl who made a mistake. It's her fault."
"However, His Majesty the Emperor has sent his confidants to come to our door. Naturally, our old Cheng family cannot disgrace His Majesty the Emperor."
Having said this, the wily General Cheng narrowed his eyes, twitched his thick beard, and started tapping his fingers on the desk.
The eldest brother Cheng Chumo imitated his father, stroking his thick beard and rolling his eyes for a long time before giving his own opinion.
"Dad, what should we do? If we really let the third child avoid the eldest princess, what should we do if the eldest princess comes to our house and blocks the door?"
Next to him, the second brother Cheng Chuliang shook his head in disbelief.
"Isn't it possible? Is it possible that the majestic eldest princess, a grandma generation, would actually do such a shameful thing?"
After hearing this, the eldest brother slapped the second brother on the shoulder unhappily.
"No matter how impossible it is, she can go to His Majesty the Emperor for this matter, and His Majesty the Emperor is clearly trying to support us, the third child."
"What if she really ends up in person? Besides, our old Cheng family is so famous. If an old woman blocks the door, oh... Dad, why are you kicking me?"
"That's the eldest princess. I'll take care of you if you behave too badly." General Cheng's eyes widened in displeasure.
The boss could only smile dryly, rub his chin in disgrace, and continue to teach the second child a lesson.
After saying a few words, I heard my father coughing and clearing his throat. All the juniors quickly silenced their voices and waited for this father to give orders.
"Our Cheng family has always been honest and honest, keeping a low profile, but we are by no means afraid of getting into trouble, don't you think so?"
After hearing this, several heads hesitated for a moment, until their father's eyes slanted over, and then they started to shake up and down crazily.
General Cheng then continued to speak while stroking his thick beard like a steel needle with satisfaction.
"It's okay if the eldest princess doesn't want to lose face, but she wants to insult the reputation and reputation of our Cheng family, haha..."
General Cheng lowered his voice and began to murmur in a low voice. All his sons raised their chests and padded their bellies and accepted the order in a deep voice.
Cheng Chubi looked at his high-spirited and commanding father. Although he had many tricks, he was in such a good mood to see his father who had not been in battle for many years to command an army to kill generals and capture the flag.
Forget it, I am a filial child after all. Since my father is so superior, I just let him show off his abilities.
If you want to ruin the reputation of the Cheng family, haha... these old ladies think too much.
Anyway, when the Cheng family used tricks, it didn't matter whether the old woman was here to be stunned or to be aggressive, in the end she was just a coward.

Early the next morning, Cheng Sanlang wandered out of his mansion and rushed to the Luoyang government office. He had just arrived at the government office.
Cheng Chubi immediately summoned a group of officials from the Luoyang Yamen and gave instructions as usual.
Before the office meeting ended, His Royal Highness Prince Li Ke strolled over.
Cheng Chubi simply announced that today's office meeting was over and stood up to greet him.
Li Ke came closer, looked at the Luoyang County government officials who were leaving, and lowered his voice.
"Brother Chu Bi, I heard that my aunt left the city and went to the Wanguo Garden Palace yesterday. Could it be..."
"Thank you for reminding me, dear brother. Yesterday, your grandfather sent Eunuch Zhongbao to come and say hello to me. Haha, then I..., well, your aunt is going to deal with me."
