Cheng Jiaoniang did not sit there forever as Manager Cao expected. In fact, she only sat down for a cup of tea before she got up.
"It seems that this little lady must have been defrauded of a lot of money by Cheng Ping..."
"..To be cheated out of money by Cheng Ping, you are really a fool. At least you don't have a bright mind..."
Seeing the little lady being surrounded by people and leaving, everyone here breathed a sigh of relief and sighed.
When they entered the courtyard, two or three servant girls were running and almost bumped into Cheng Jiaoniang.
"What happened?" Banqin said, looking at the maid who hurriedly saluted and then ran away. She looked up into the distance and saw that the maid and the girls were all in a hurry. The atmosphere at home was obviously tense.
Cheng Jiaoniang didn't even stop for a step, as if she couldn't see this at all.
Yes, they have nothing to do with the lady, Banqin smiled and lifted her heels.
"Madam, what do you want to eat for dinner? I think the fish they brought is still fresh, why not cook fish soup?"
Early in the morning of the next day, Mrs. Wang, who had just managed to calm down a little and slept for half the night, was frightened again by someone coming from the Cheng family.
"What's wrong with the old lady?" Mrs. Wang cried out, her face turning pale again after getting better.
"It's okay, it's okay." The maid hurriedly said, "Madam, please let me say that I can't take care of the marriage certificate for the next few days..."
As soon as the servant woman opened her mouth, Mrs. Wang hurriedly waved her hands and hissed at her.
The servant girl was so frightened that she hurriedly shut up, a little at a loss.
Mrs. Wang looked around and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the person who heard her was reliable.
"I know." She sat down and said with a forced smile at the servant woman, then hesitated slightly, "Then, what is your old lady's disease? Is it important?"
When she asked this question, the servant girl looked slightly embarrassed.
"It's nothing, I just choked on Zao'er accidentally," she said.
Choked?
Although Mrs. Cheng is old, she has always been in good health. How could she choke on a date? Could it be that her health is failing?
"Why did you choke?" Mrs. Wang asked in surprise.
The servant woman looked even more embarrassed and didn't even want to raise her head.
"That's right, I was just careless," she said.
It can’t be said that it was because I heard the eldest lady and the second lady getting angry...
The two ladies fought in front of the two masters. This kind of embarrassing thing has never happened to the Cheng family in their entire lives. Yesterday, the eldest master had issued several gag orders. If this matter spreads out, the information will be reported immediately.
All the servants and wives were sold and beaten out.
Mrs. Wang frowned at the servant girl's expression. She said such words, which showed that there was something she couldn't say.
Could it be that Mrs. Cheng is seriously ill now? Maybe she won’t live long?
If Mrs. Cheng dies and has a funeral, the Cheng family will not be able to marry or give birth to a daughter within a year!
Very good!
Mrs. Wang's thoughts flashed through her mind and she blurted it out.
Very good?
The maid of the Cheng family raised her head this time and looked at Mrs. Wang in shock.
"Ah, that's such a surprise. He was fine a few days ago." Mrs. Wang hurriedly concealed her embarrassment, "I'll go visit you."
"No, no, no," the maid said hurriedly, "Our madam said that everything will be fine after these two days. We also need you to prepare all the things you have decided to do. Then we will have everything done within three to five days."
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment and sat back.
"Is your old lady's health really all right? Or should the marriage be postponed?" she said.
"No need." The servant girl shook her head, "My wife specifically told me this when she came. I was just afraid that you would think so, so let me tell you that my old lady is fine and everything is as usual."
Mrs. Wang said oh, looking a little disappointed.
It would be great if this old lady from the Cheng family really couldn't do it...
In this way, the marriage is already scheduled, and there is no need to rush to get married. If it takes a year and a half, the Seventeenth Man will forget about it and can happily be a bridegroom.
"Mother, mother!"
The young man's shout came from the yard.
Mrs. Wang suddenly came back to her senses and saw the Cheng family servant in front of her thinking of something and hurriedly waving her hands.
"Quick, quick, hide quickly." She urged.
The servant girl of the Cheng family was so stunned that she hid her?
This has never happened before...
Should we ask her to quit?
After being stunned for a while, it was already too late. Wang Shiliang, who was looking refreshed and dressed in a brocade robe and a jade belt, walked in.
"Don't say a word." Mrs. Wang only had time to warn the Cheng family's maid, then she looked at Lang Wang with a smile, "Shiqi, this dress is so beautiful."
Wang Qishilang raised his head and waved his hands with a smile on his face.
"Wrong mother." He said, "It's your son who looks good to me."
Mrs. Wang laughed loudly, stretched out her hand to invite him to sit down, and asked if he had eaten much after dinner.
Just when Wang Shiqiu was about to answer, he caught sight of the Cheng family servant woman in the hall.
"Are you from your aunt's house?" he said, his face turned pale and he jumped up, "What are you doing here? Did that woman ask you to come? What does she want to do?"
Everyone in the room was startled, and Mrs. Wang hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold Wang Shiqiu.
"No, no, she was sent by your aunt to see you." She said repeatedly, while winking at the servant woman, "Your aunt heard that you were scared, and she was worried about it. It has nothing to do with that woman, and it has nothing to do with that woman."
Although the maid didn't know what was going on, she still followed Mrs. Wang's instructions and leaned down to salute her repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, Young Master Seventeen, Madam is thinking about you very much, so I asked you to come and have a look," she said.
"Okay, okay, if you see it, go back and tell your wife quickly." Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said.
The servant girl did not dare to stay any longer, kowtowed and bowed before retreating.
"... No one from the Cheng family is allowed to come to the door again! No one is allowed to come..."
When I walked into the yard, I heard Wang Qilang's shout from behind me.
What the hell is going on?
The maid was confused and looked back at Mrs. Wang's noisy hall.
The Seventeenth Prince of the Wang family has always been close to Mrs. Cheng, and Mrs. Cheng is particularly close to him. But now he said such words, Mrs. Cheng would be chilled if she heard it.
The maid shook her head, sighed, and left in low spirits.
Mrs. Wang couldn't care less about the Cheng family's maid who was secretly feeling sad. She finally calmed down Wang Shiqilang and sat down. She watched her high-spirited son suddenly become panicked and depressed, which made her feel heartbroken.
"Seventeen, seventeen, why don't you go out and have some fun?" she said, "Go out and relax."
That's a good idea!
As soon as these words came out, both mother and son's eyes lit up.
That's right, let's go out to relax and prepare for the marriage this month so as not to be discovered by her son, Mrs. Wang thought to herself.
That's right, go out and relax, so that the woman doesn't come to your door and pesters her, Wang Shiqilang nodded and thought.
So both mother and son happily packed up, and before noon, Wang Shiliang and his favorite maids happily left in the car.
Seeing her son leave, Mrs. Wang was relieved and happily urged the maid to prepare for the marriage.
It was already afternoon when the maid of the Cheng family who left the Wang family returned home, and the eldest lady's yard was quiet.
"They're all at the old lady's place." The maid guarding the door pointed in a low voice.
The servant woman ignored her rest and hurriedly came to Mrs. Cheng. Mrs. Cheng's yard was also quiet, and the yard was full of servant women and girls.
"They're all kneeling." The maid at the door pulled her and whispered, signaling her not to go in yet.
The servant girl nodded and stood still in the yard, hearing faint voices coming from the house.
"Fighting? Why don't you stab each other with knives?"
On the couch, Mrs. Cheng sat leaning against the couch, looking at her son and daughter-in-law kneeling in front of her.
"That would be so enjoyable. What's the point of punching me with my fist?"
The two couples kneeling on the ground kowtowed and choked with tears and repeatedly apologized.
"You can die on your own if you want. Don't come to me. I want to live for a few more days and don't want to be pissed off by you." Mrs. Cheng said with a sneer.
Mr. Cheng knelt down and kowtowed a few steps forward.
"Mother, mother, don't be angry. The children are wrong and your health is important." He choked and said, "Lie down quickly."
Mr. Cheng Er also kowtowed and choked.
"You two brothers have been played by one person from the Zhou family from the beginning to the end. When someone throws him at you like a prostitute, you are like red-eyed hungry dogs that bite you. I have been a member of the Cheng family for several lifetimes.
I have lost all my face by you!" Mrs. Cheng slapped Ping Ji and shouted.
Being scolded as a dog by her own mother showed that Mrs. Cheng was really angry.
The two masters of the Cheng family kowtowed in response, while Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng knelt down, covering their faces and sobbing.
"Speaking of marriage? What did that idiot say?" Mrs. Cheng yelled, "What's wrong with her mother's dowry being kept in our Cheng family! I don't see who dares to say it's wrong! I don't see how the Zhou family will come to rob it! A fool
Our son, we have done our best to raise her. If we don’t let her get married, who will criticize us? Let her get married, so that we will be criticized! Are you stupid too? You even thought of the bad idea of letting her get married! Our family’s
We can do whatever we want to do about things, no one else cares!"
Mr. Cheng and Mr. Cheng both said yes one after another.
"But, mother, I'm not stupid anymore..." Mr. Cheng Er hesitated and raised his head and said.
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mr. Cheng's fierce glare.
"Mother, mother, please calm down, we know we were wrong, and we will do as you say, mother," he said hurriedly.
"Kick her out, now, immediately, immediately!" Mrs. Cheng shouted, pointing outside, "I have said before, this is a broom star, this is the bane of our Cheng family, she killed your father,
He killed her mother, and now he is coming to kill me. He will kill me and you, and no one can escape!"
On a cold winter day, the gloomy and skinny old lady spoke these words with a ferocious expression, which made everyone in the room feel hairs running down their spines.
"Yes, yes, my son will do it right away." Mr. Cheng kowtowed and said.
He personally served Mrs. Cheng to take the medicine and watched her lie down before Mr. Cheng and others left.
After walking out of the courtyard, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng separated immediately, neither of them looking at each other.
"Then do as mother said." Mr. Cheng looked at Mr. Cheng with a pulled face and said.
Mr. Cheng Er also had a serious look on his face.
"Well, I listen to my mother," he said.
Listen to your mother, not your elder brother as was often said before.
Master Cheng sneered in his heart and looked at Master Cheng.
Master Cheng Er avoided his sight, gave a cursory salute, and left with Mrs. Cheng Er one after another. They walked further and further away from Master Cheng's sight until they disappeared around the corner.
Mr. Cheng sneered and then felt a little sad. He was older than the second Mr. Cheng, and they were the only two siblings from the same mother. He had not been able to study well since he was a child, so he inherited the family business and devoted himself to supporting the second Mr. Cheng in his studies. However, the second Mr. Cheng treated him badly.
I have always respected and trusted him like a father.
"Brother, I listen to you."
"Brother, I'll do whatever you say."
The younger brother who followed him respectfully and carefully followed his advice has changed now.
He stood up straight, began to look at himself with suspicion, and began to stop saying what he said, "I listen to my elder brother."
Is this an inevitable change as you grow up?
No, absolutely not. If there were no external factors, the two brothers would never become what they are now. Think about it two years ago, they were peaceful and harmonious as brothers and sisters in Anshun. All this happened because of that fool!
Mr. Cheng clenched his hands.
"Come here, send her to the Taoist temple today." He said.
There were noisy footsteps outside the door. I didn't even open the door during the day, but someone pushed it open.
Banqin, who was sitting in the corridor ironing clothes, raised his head and looked at the four or five maids who came in.
The two sides looked at each other, and the servants stopped.
"You guys came just in time." Banqin said first, "I was just about to find someone, but it's not good to live here. I need to choose a new place for my wife to live."
The leading servant girl laughed.
"Yes, that's such a coincidence. We were ordered by the master to send my wife to a different place," she said.
Banqin looked at her weird smile, frowned and put down the iron.
"Where to change?" she asked.
"It's still the same place, Xuanmiao Temple." The servant girl smiled.
Mysterious view?
"You want to drive my wife out?" Banqin asked in surprise.
"How do you call it a rush?" The servant girl smiled and said, "Yes, please."
Banqin stood up.
"Okay, girl, pack up and let's go now." The maid smiled and waved her hands, and other maids rushed over.
"You..." Banqin shouted, standing at the door to block it, but someone pushed her away behind her.
"You want to drive me away?"
Cheng Jiaoniang's voice rang in her ears.
Banqin hurriedly stepped aside and saw Cheng Jiaoniang standing over, holding an arm rope, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, and there were slight beads of sweat on her nose.
Although there is no place for ladies to shoot arrows here, Cheng Jiaoniang's daily habits have not changed, except that she draws the empty bow indoors.
But at this time, the bow in her hand was not an empty bow.
The maid outside the door stopped and looked a little surprised at the strange look of this lady.
"I'm not rushing, I'm asking you to go out and take shelter." The leading maid said, "That's the same old place. I've lived here before, so I'm very familiar with it."
She said and stepped forward with a smile. As soon as she raised her feet, she saw the woman in front of her raised her hand and pointed her bow at her. There was a buzz, and a strong wind suddenly hit her face. It seemed that her head was hit by a heavy object, and she was driven back heavily with her hair on her temples.
Suddenly they fell apart.
What happened?
The servants and women were all stunned, and then the leading woman howled.
"Killing people!"
The courtyard suddenly became chaotic, with people pouring out crying and shouting. Due to the crowding and panic, half of the door panel was knocked down, and the remaining half shook wildly, with an arrow stuck in it trembling.
"This is not called killing." Cheng Jiaoniang put down the bow in her hand and said calmly, "This is called archery."
