Mrs. Cheng's worries did not lessen and she became even more anxious.
Cheng Silang's illness became worse day by day, and doctors came and went like a stream. In the end, the maid reminded him that it was better to prepare for the future.
Compared to the second brother who only has one son, the first brother’s four sons are not too many. The family business must be passed down by someone. Regardless of whether he is a direct descendant or a concubine, as long as his surname is Cheng, he is the treasure of Mr. Cheng.
What's more, this son is a direct descendant. Mrs. Cheng's youngest son is particularly favored by her children.
Mr. Cheng's sighs and Mrs. Cheng's anxious and sad cries made everyone in the Cheng family talk in despair.
Even Cheng Liuniang and Cheng Qiniang, who have always been noisy, have become much more stable these days. The sisters no longer quarrel and quarrel when they get together, but worry about their brother's condition.
There are many brothers in the family, and the women they marry outside are very powerful. The brothers in this family are their future supporters.
"I said I bumped into a visitor in the lotus pond." Cheng Liuniang said in a low voice.
Cheng Qiniang was so frightened that she hugged Cheng Wuniang.
"You must be sick, Liu Niang, don't scare people," Cheng Siniang said.
"Why did you suddenly become so ill when you were fine?" Cheng Liuniang said, "Third brother said that Shiro became like this after he met a beauty in the lotus pond."
At this point she lowered her voice.
"How could a beauty suddenly appear in the lotus pond?" she said, "What else could it be but a ghost?"
"I don't want to live in the lotus pond!" Cheng Qiniang screamed in fright, called her wet nurse and ran away crying.
The sisters in the room were startled by her, and Cheng Qiniang ran away in fright. The room was quiet for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
"You are so cowardly." Cheng Liu Niang said, waving her hand, "I'm going to find my mother."
After saying that, she got up and left.
Cheng Siniang and Cheng Wuniang looked at each other.
"Sister, let's move in together and work together to make the embroidered tent for mother's birthday faster." Cheng Wuniang said.
Cheng Siniang nodded hurriedly.
As Cheng Qiniang moved out of the lotus pond to live in her mother's penthouse, Cheng Liuniang also moved to Mrs. Cheng's place on the pretext of helping her mother take care of the housework. The two sisters, Cheng Siniang and Wu Niang, lived together, and the courtyard was brightly lit every night.
The rumors of ghosts in the lotus pond became more and more popular, and the little girls did not dare to go to the lotus pond. The lotus pond, which had always been a good place to escape the summer heat, became increasingly shady.
Mr. Cheng and Mr. Cheng were so angry that they punished a group of servants who spread the rumors, but they could not stop them. They also knew that it was easy to stop them. First, they sent their daughters back to live in the lotus pond, and second, Cheng
Shiro, get well soon.
In the former case, the men wanted to act vigorously and resolutely, but they had no choice but to make their daughters cry and their wives refuse to obey. In the latter case, they were even more powerless and had no choice but to find a better doctor.
"Madam, everyone says this place is haunted..."
Banqin carefully supported Cheng Jiaoniang as she walked in the lotus pond, looking left and right. Rather than supporting Cheng Jiaoniang, she was hiding behind Cheng Jiaoniang.
"Let's not come fishing." She said, "Aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked, "Ghosts are afraid of people."
"Huh? Why?" Banqin asked.
Cheng Jiaoniang was silent for a moment.
Banqin knew that the lady was preparing to speak, so she waited with some expectation.
"Stop talking, it's too much trouble." Cheng Jiaoniang finally said.
Banqin pouted.
"My wife thinks I'm stupid and won't tell me anymore," she said.
But these two sentences finally made her feel relieved. She was no longer so nervous. She walked a few steps quickly and pointed at the rocks happily.
"Madam, our fishing rod is still here!" she shouted, happily running over first.
Cheng Jiaoniang walked forward slowly, watching Ban Qin's expression change from fear to excitement.
"No," she said slowly, "I think now that I don't talk, it's pretty good."
If you say you understand it, but don't say it, you will understand it, so it doesn't really matter whether you say it or not.
Cheng Jiaoniang held the fishing rod and sat down on the rock, watching the rippled water surface return to calm.
In the memories that flickered, it seemed that she was very talkative and eloquent, but she didn't seem to be happy. When I reluctantly explored this memory, I felt sour in my heart.
"Madam, the sun is shining." Banqin, who was playing with flowers and branches, said, using her hands to block the glare of the sun.
Only then did Cheng Jiaoniang realize that her skin was hot and painful, and she couldn't help but raise her hands to shield herself slightly.
People say that ghosts are afraid of sunlight, so does this mean she is a ghost?
The sunlight was suddenly blocked.
"Madam, please bring the power hat with you." Banqin said, taking the power hat on the side and putting it on her, "Let's play for a while longer, and then we'll go back."
Although she is still afraid of the sun, she spends more and more time outside.
This is a good sign, indicating that her physical condition is improving day by day.
Cheng Jiaoniang agreed and continued fishing.
The lotus pond was indeed much quieter than before, but it was not without people passing by.
It was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. When she walked to the corner ahead, she seemed to dare not leave anymore. She put down a bundle in her hand and knelt down.
"Please... let go... Young Master..."
The girl trembled and wanted to light a handful of red paper on fire, but she was so scared that she couldn't light it. The more she tried to light it, the more she couldn't light it. The more she couldn't light it, the more cold and weird the place became. This cycle made the girl almost cry out of fear.
"What are you doing?"
There was a voice above my head.
The little girl looked up subconsciously, and the first thing she saw was a dark figure holding a pole in her hand.
"Ghost!" The little girl screamed in fright. She wanted to run but couldn't. She fell to the ground and shivered.
Banqin also screamed in fright and hugged Cheng Jiaoniang.
"Ghost!" she also shouted without looking around.
Cheng Jiaoniang reached out and patted her, then pointed at herself.
Banqin suddenly realized.
It turns out that the little girl was frightened by the lady with power.
"You scared us to death!" she jumped up and shouted, "Why are you so cowardly!"
He completely forgot that just now he was so frightened that he hugged Cheng Jiaoniang.
The little girl then bravely raised her head and saw a little girl as big as herself, alive.
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked closely, and found that the dark figure was wearing a hat.
"Who are you? You came here on purpose to scare people!" She also shouted, feeling angry, scared, aggrieved and sad.
"My wife and I are fishing here. It would be scary if you suddenly ran out." Banqin said.
Lady?
The ladies at home don’t dare to come here to play, so this lady is...
"Oh, it's that fool!" the girl suddenly shouted.
"You're the fool!" Banqin immediately retorted.
As the girl who was next to the Fourth Young Master in the past, she would definitely teach this unruly girl a lesson unceremoniously, but now she thought of the Fourth Young Master who was about to die. He was dead and might as well be a fool.
Especially when I think about myself, after so many years with the Fourth Young Master, suddenly she is gone. Girls like them have been sent to who knows where. They are used to being close-knit girls who don’t have their fingers wet with sex. Who can bear to do those rough things?
Make the girl.
Looking at the girl in front of me, even if she follows the fool, at least the fool is still alive and well, and there is no need to worry about being driven away.
The girl started to cry.
Banqin was a little stunned. Did he scold her?
"Why are you crying? Stop crying." She said quickly,
When the girl burst into tears, she lost all restraint and just burst into tears.
Banqin was a little at a loss and turned to look at Cheng Jiaoniang. Cheng Jiaoniang stretched out her hand to lift the power and looked at the crying girl.
"There is a way to solve our food shortage problem." She looked at Banqin and whispered suddenly.
