No wonder I didn't come back today after waiting for him for so long. The boy only said that he went out to visit a friend. It turned out that he was visiting this friend.
Qin Shisanlang said that he would find a way to explain this matter to the Gao family as thoroughly as possible.
After all, the Qin family and the Gao family are both royal relatives. Although they don't have any close contacts, they don't have any bad relations.
Although I know that it is impossible for a high-ranking official to let go of Cheng Jiaoniang, it is not a bad thing to relax a little.
"What did you say? What did he say?" asked Saturday Lang.
Qin Shisanlang smiled.
"I tell the truth, and he tells the truth," he said.
……………………………………………..
The most prosperous moment of the day begins in Desheng Tower at night, with laughter, singing, dancing and music echoing among the pavilions.
"elder sister."
Madam Zhu's door was opened.
A well-dressed official prostitute came in with a smile, followed by an angry Chun Ling.
"Miss Lu, my sister has taken a rest," she shouted.
But the official and prostitute ignored her and looked at Madam Zhu who was sitting and reading a book.
"Sister, are you going to sleep?" she asked with a smile.
The official prostitutes went around day and night, wearing obscene clothes during the day and fine clothes at night. At this time, Miss Zhu had her hair loose and was wearing obscene clothes, obviously looking like she was about to rest after no more guests.
Madam Zhu responded yes.
"Sister is so good now, relaxed and at ease." The official prostitute smiled, "Unlike us, we have to laugh and please our patrons to earn enough money to maintain our health."
Miss Zhu lowered her head to read and ignored her.
"Ms. Lu, why don't you go quickly? Look, Wang Daguan has been robbed." Chun Ling said.
The official prostitute glanced at her.
"Sister, my piano is broken. I don't think I'll be able to use it recently, so I came here to borrow it for use today," she said.
"Madam, are you still missing a piano..." Chun Ling said dissatisfied.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Zhu.
"Take it and use it," she said, putting down the book and smiling slightly.
"Sister, your piano is very valuable." Chun Ling said unhappily.
"Expensive? No matter how valuable something is, it's just a thing if it's useless." Madam Zhu said, "Sister Lu is good at playing the piano, so she won't disgrace my piano."
The official prostitute suddenly beamed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up and thank her personally.
"Sister is really good at talking. No wonder she is favored by senior officials and officials from Cheng." She said with a smile.
"Miss Lu, if you can't speak, don't speak. This way you can get more favors from your patrons," Chun Ling said.
The official prostitute turned to look at her.
"Oh, you little maid, your mouth is really ugly." She said unhappily.
"I won't let you eat or drink, so why should I say nice things to you?" Chun Ling said with a snort.
"Chun Ling." Miss Zhu scolded.
Chun Ling pouted and backed away.
The official prostitute didn't bother to argue with her and left with Qin in her arms.
"Sister..." Chun Ling stepped forward and said.
"You go down too, I'll read for a while and then fall asleep." Miss Zhu said.
Chun Ling responded and had no choice but to go out.
Silence returned to the room, and Mrs. Zhu read slowly while holding the book. It had been a long time since she had the time to read, and it had been a long time since she had read without any purpose. It was like going back to the enlightenment of her father when she was a child.
Men study for fame, and daughters study for themselves.
But she didn't study for herself for too long, something happened to her family, and she didn't join the Jiaofangsi. Whether she was studying or learning skills, it was not for herself, but to please the men.
No, that's not right either.
Isn't it also for yourself to please men?
Time seemed to have stopped passing in the quiet room. I don't know how long it had passed before there was a sound of rapid footsteps outside the door.
"Miss Lu, my sister is asleep..." Chun Ling's voice shouted.
"Why are you still sleeping? Where can I sleep?" the female voice said, and the door was opened immediately.
Miss Lu walked in quickly, her face full of alcohol.
"Sister," she said anxiously, "It's not good."
Miss Zhu looked at her.
"I just heard from Mr. Wang that someone went to Mr. Gao and said that the dispute with the Cheng family was all because of you," she said hurriedly.
Miss Zhu smiled.
"It's because of me," she said.
"No." Mrs. Lu sat down, looked outside the door, and lowered her voice, "It was the Thirteenth Prince of the Qin family who said that you planned this time. You want to use the Cheng family to get rid of the Gao family. Then
Cheng Jia Shilang was originally innocent and had no contact with you at all. It was you who specifically called him here because you deliberately wanted to provoke a dispute between the two families."
When the words "Thirteenth Prince of the Qin Family" passed through her ears, Madam Zhu suddenly sat up straight. When she heard the subsequent words, she felt a shock in her head.
She couldn't hear clearly what Miss Lu was still saying, and all she felt was a loud noise in her ears.
"...Sister, please be more careful..."
"...Now you have offended both families..."
"...I'm leaving first. I'm accompanying a guest and I couldn't wait to sneak up and tell you..."
"Sister, sister."
Someone shook her hard, and the flesh on her arm hurt from being pinched. This also made Madam Zhu come back to her senses and look at Chun Ling in confusion.
"Sister, are you okay?" Chun Ling asked worriedly.
Miss Zhu shook her head.
"He said it was me who did it..." she murmured, tears falling down.
"Sister, sister." Chun Ling cried faster than her, "It's all my fault. I'll go talk to Qin Guanren."
After saying that, she stood up and Miss Zhu reached out to grab her.
"Go and tell him what to say! He's right, it's all because of me," she said.
"Sister!" Chun Ling knelt down and cried on the ground, "Sister, no, you are not, how could he say that! How could he say that about sister! How could he frame sister like this for that Mrs. Cheng! He didn't do anything.
I don’t know!”
For that Mrs. Cheng….
Miss Zhu smiled again.
"He should say this." She said, "He should say this. This is the right thing to say. People should protect the people they care about and try their best to help her and protect her..."
"Then he can't harm his sister like this for Mrs. Cheng!" Chun Ling cried, "my sister is sincere to him. If it weren't for him, how could my sister..."
"Shut up!"
Madam Zhu shouted sharply.
Chun Ling shivered with fright and looked up at her, not daring to cry anymore.
Miss Zhu was obviously frightened by her own voice.
Such an unpleasant, shrill, shrew-like voice was still the familiar voice that was known to be as gentle as a lark.
This ugly sound...
Is it because of what happened that I suddenly don’t want to recall anymore?
It wasn't because of him that she refused to accompany Gao Xiaoguan. She wasn't, no, no!
Madam Zhu's hands tightened on her clothes and she shook her head desperately, as if this was the only way to get rid of all these things.
"What he did was right, that's what he really means."
"But Deshenglou is not sincere, and I am not sincere to anyone. Don't say such things again in the future."
Chun Ling looked at her with tears.
"Sister." she cried.
"Don't these words and things like this harm enough people?" Miss Zhu said.
Chun Ling responded and kowtowed to the ground.
"Sister, don't be sad." Her voice was choked with sobs and she couldn't speak.
I'm not sad, I'm not sad.
Madam Zhu clenched the book in her hand and turned to look at the bronze mirror.
There was a snapping sound, and Gao Xiaoguan threw the golden cup to the ground angrily.
Two trembling little maids hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up.
"Get out!"
With this scolding, the two maidservants hurriedly retreated as if they were being pardoned.
In the past few days, the little officials have been bored at home like trapped animals, and their tempers have become more and more frightening. Two maids have been beaten so hard that they can't get up. They have not been able to survive for a few days. Everyone who serves them is worried, lest they be the next unlucky ones.
.
"Fourteenth Master, I think what the Qin family's Thirteenth Master said is right." Qingke said from the side, "This matter is indeed strange."
"Strange?" Gao Xiaoguan sneered, "Yes, it is indeed strange, but so what?"
Qingke was a little puzzled.
"Sir Fourteen, in this case, we shouldn't fall into someone else's trap and make enemies with this Mrs. Cheng, just because someone will laugh happily." He said, "Besides, I told you before I left, so we don't pay attention to it now.
When Mrs. Cheng is here, the most important thing is to establish a prince..."
"What's so important about establishing a crown prince?" Gao Xiaoguan interrupted him and said angrily, "Isn't this a sure thing? Why not establish Prince Ping instead of that fool?"
"It's best to be cautious in everything." Qingke said with a smile.
"Be careful, that's why you have to be cautious about Mrs. Cheng." Gao Xiaoguan said with a sneer, "Qin Shisan is right, and I know it is right. This time I was tricked, but Mrs. Cheng is also a bitch.
"
"She knew she was being tricked, so why didn't she bow her head and admit her mistake?"
"It is best to do it as a last resort and to make it ridiculous, otherwise it will be exploited and attacked."
"Then isn't it still ridiculous for her to bow her head and admit her mistake? Why should I become the joke of the whole city? It shows that she has a vicious mind and has no respect for my Gao family."
Gao Xiaoguanren thought that he was hiding at home like a dog with his tail between his legs, and that this kind of life would last for a long time, so he slammed the only remaining tea bowl in front of him on the ground.
"What a shame!"
"What a shame!"
At the same time, Mr. Cheng Er was also taking pictures of several cases. There were several tea bowls, cups and saucers in front of him, but he couldn't bear to throw them down.
That's money. Now the family is so nervous that they can't even open the pot, so they are just counting the days until the end of this month and the beginning of next month to get the interest in the store.
"Sir, are you unwilling to see the high-ranking official?" Mrs. Cheng Er asked.
Mr. Cheng Er sighed and his face became even more ugly.
"I have asked to see you many times, and I have asked for many connections, but they are all..." He shook his head and said, and once again took a hard look at several cases, "It is all the trouble caused by that cheap maid and Shiro!"
Having said this, stand up.
"It's too bad that that wretched maid is still enjoying herself in the Zhou family, while Shiro is hiding in his own yard to recuperate, and I have to bear all the troubles!"
Mr. Cheng Er hates it.
"I'll write another letter to take away his Jinshi status, lest those people think I'm just showing off."
Before he finished speaking, someone outside the hall pouted.
"You bastard! You actually have the nerve to take away my son's status as a Jinshi!"
Mr. Cheng Er and Mrs. Cheng Er were stunned for a moment.
"Why does it sound like the eldest brother's voice?" Mr. Cheng Er said.
Mrs. Cheng Er made a sound and looked outside the door.
"It's not like that, he's really a big brother!" she said in surprise.
Outside the door, Mr. Cheng, wearing a cloak and a dusty appearance, strode forward on crutches. The sound of the cane tapping directly hit Mr. Cheng's eardrums.
"You bastard, you have the nerve to make trouble with your nephews, and you don't even look at yourself!"
"You bastard, don't sue your descendants first, I'm going to sue you for your extravagant wealth first!" (To be continued)
