Chapter Twenty-Three Life Gap

It's great to have such a brother.

Looking at the sumptuous meal in front of her, Banqin turned around happily.

"Madam, it's time to eat," she said, kneeling down and sitting down.

The new little girl and the maid hurriedly worked together to carry the dining table over.

Behind the bamboo curtain, a female figure is lying on her side on the couch.

"You guys go down." Banqin said.

The servant woman and the little girl responded yes.

"I don't know what my lady's taste is, but I still ask the girl to watch." The servant said respectfully.

"Okay." Banqin said, nodding in return.

The maid and the girl exited and watched the curtain open, revealing a woman sitting in the hall supported by Banqin.

The little girl was curious and wanted to see the woman clearly, but the servant girl glared at her and pulled her away. She quickly bowed her head and left.

"What does the lady look like?" the little girl couldn't help but asked curiously.

"What can a fool do! Stop causing trouble. If the young master of the Zhou family catches him again, you and I will be in trouble." The maid warned.

Thinking of the fact that a total of seven people from the two families were kicked out of the house because of this incident, one can imagine the fate of the servants who were kicked out of the master's house. The little girl was so frightened that she didn't dare to take another look inside the house, for fear of seeing

When a fool uses inappropriate words to cause trouble.

After dinner, Mrs. Cheng waited for Mr. Cheng.

"What did he say?" she asked eagerly.

"I didn't say anything. I drank a bottle of wine and went to sleep." Mr. Cheng said angrily. He sat down and felt suffocated.

Today's events made him feel depressed from beginning to end, but he couldn't find a way to break out.

Mrs. Cheng sat down across from her. Just as she was about to speak, Mr. Cheng and his wife arrived.

Mrs. Cheng cried when she entered the house, which made Mrs. Cheng even more upset.

"Sister-in-law." She knelt down and saluted.

Mr. Cheng and his wife were startled by this great gift, and they hurriedly stretched out their hands to help him.

"What to do?" Mrs. Cheng said.

"Today in public, I blamed my guilt on my sister-in-law, which is really disrespectful." Mrs. Cheng Er cried, but refused to get up.

Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Cheng's expression flashed strangely.

Here, Mr. Cheng Er also leaned over and saluted.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't...shouldn't talk about my sister-in-law." He lowered his head and said.

"Don't be like this." Mrs. Cheng hurriedly helped each other, with a bit of resentment, "This is nothing wrong. It is my business in the first place. It is my fault in running the family that makes you suffer."

Mrs. Cheng Er held Mrs. Cheng's hand and cried.

"Okay, let's not talk about two families. What matters now is the affairs of outsiders." Mr. Cheng said.

The two sides then sat down separately.

"They say their family doesn't know...then...what's the child's name?" Mr. Cheng said. There were no outsiders here, so he asked simply.

The three people in the room were stunned for a moment, as if they were wondering what the fool's name was.

"Call, Jiao Niang!" Mrs. Cheng Er first remembered and said, and then added, "It seems to be the name given by the grandmother of the Zhou family."

Mr. Cheng didn't look happy.

"What a weird name." He muttered, not sure whether he was referring to the name or to someone from the Zhou family.

"Then Liu Lang of the Zhou family said that he didn't know about Jiao Niang's return. Is this credible?" Mr. Cheng continued.

"It's weird if you don't know." Mr. Cheng Er said angrily, "I don't know but I still come here to make trouble!"

There was silence in the room for a moment.

"What happened today is also our fault. We handed someone the excuse and we can't blame others for humiliating us." Mr. Cheng said, "We admit it. Let's see what else the Zhou family wants to do this time."

"What else do they want to do?" Master Cheng Er asked angrily, "Do you really think that our Cheng family is afraid of him?"

Mr. Cheng nodded.

"Yes, what happened today was because we were shorter, but if they want to push their limits and deliberately cause trouble, not just anyone in our Cheng family can bully us." He said, "It's not us who are humiliated by a warrior.

The face of the Cheng family is the face of the literati of the Zhou Dynasty."

Since martial arts are inferior to nobles, a scholar without fame will not be afraid of a military attache.

"I shouldn't have entered into this relationship in the first place, which caused me to be laughed at outside." Mr. Cheng Er said with a snort.

Mr. Cheng glared.

"Are you talking about my father's fault?" he shouted.

Because when it came to the first wife, Mrs. Cheng kept her head down.

Mrs. Cheng pulled her husband.

"That's not what Erlang means. Don't make random assumptions about him." She said, looking at Mr. Cheng Er, "Okay, we're all tired. Let's take a break and refresh ourselves. We can't let others laugh at us.

"

Cheng Er and his wife resigned and walked towards their own house.

"You go to my sister-in-law more often these days." Mr. Cheng Er said, "Let my sister-in-law get over her worries as soon as possible."

Mrs. Cheng Er curled her lips slightly.

"Didn't we say it was okay? I already gave him the royal bow, which is enough to save my face. Besides, we didn't say anything wrong at the time," she said.

Mr. Cheng Er stopped and turned back to glare at her.

"What did you say?" he shouted in a low voice.

"What did I say? Was I wrong? Why did she take advantage of all the good things and let me take the blame? She wanted to take that fool to raise her, so why did she let me get scolded when something went wrong? If you were Erlang at that time,

If she doesn't speak up for me, will she not take the initiative? Will she still watch me go to the ancestral hall to reflect on my past?" Mrs. Cheng Er said, her eyes red.

"Please keep your voice down, we are outside." Mr. Cheng Er was startled and said hurriedly.

The servant girls who followed him avoided him in panic.

Mrs. Cheng Er flicked her sleeves and walked quickly past Mr. Cheng Er.

Mr. Cheng Er felt a headache and a sharp pain in his temples.

It’s really a wave of ups and downs!

How could everything be so good?!

There was nothing that could be kept secret in this small part of the house. Mrs. Cheng knew about the quarrel between Mr. and Mrs. Cheng. She sighed and took off her hairpin.

"Go down, don't say this again," she said.

The servant girl responded, bowed her head and exited.

"Why is the second daughter-in-law so ignorant all of a sudden?" Mr. Cheng said, half lying on the couch, frowning.

"You too, why have you forgotten that I am raising my little girl?" Mrs. Cheng said, feeling a little helpless and powerless.

"You are raising her, so what? She is my mother in name only. If I don't punish her, how can the Zhou family give up? Besides, how can they really punish her?" Cheng Da

The master said, exhaling, "It's really outrageous."

Mrs. Cheng lay down on the other side of the couch, rubbing her brows.

"Perhaps it's because my dear daughter came back that her past life suddenly changed, and she couldn't bear it for a while," she said.

Mr. Cheng snorted.

"It's not the first day she knew about this child in our family, so why can't she stand it now?" he said.

Mrs. Cheng pursed her lips and smiled.

"It's one thing to know, but it's another thing to see it in person," she said.

"I think she's used to living comfortably for too long," Mr. Cheng said in a nonchalant manner.

This time Mrs. Cheng did not argue again, but exhaled, rubbed her forehead with another hand, and closed her eyes.
