Chapter 361
Qiu Ran was also able to understand the situation in front of him. The reason why the two of them didn't believe him was, after all, with Li Jing in front of him, the Fifth Prince had suffered a lot. Even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain it clearly.

If it was before the change, the fifth prince would not bother to explain to anyone, but this time it is different. Only when the matter is made clear and the husband and wife believe that the fifth prince is innocent, will they transfer their anger to Li Jing. The two people who are the enemy of each other are like a sharp sword, whoever the tip of the sword is pointed at will have no good fruit to eat.

Of course, it is better to leave such trouble to Li Jing.

Although Mr. Cheng was old and was dismissed from the court, his excellent articles won many people back then, and he finally secured his position as the prince and tutor. If Cheng Shi hadn't published those How could he fall into the current situation.

"You go, we won't believe your nonsense."

Old Master Cheng said angrily, if he couldn't beat Qiu Ran, he wouldn't have held back forever.

"The fifth prince came here today because he wanted me to come and invite the two of you to watch a good show. By then, it will be clear at a glance who killed your son."

Qiu Ran pretended to be peaceful and discussed with the two of them. Although the Cheng family and his wife were getting old, they were not yet confused.

"Do you think we are fools? The fifth prince would be so kind to tell us to go there. I'm afraid that if our husband and wife can go in standing up, I'm afraid we will end up lying down in the end."

Mr. Cheng seems to be frightened now, but any powerful person who wants to get close to him will make him doubt the other party's purpose.

After all, the husband and wife can no longer stand any troubles.

"The Fifth Prince expected this." Qiu Ran took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to the couple. "Do you know what this is?"

The jade pendant was carried by the fifth prince, and it was the jade pendant specially given to Concubine Hui by the emperor to avoid death when Concubine Hui made contributions to the royal family. When the emperor made it clear that if there was a sinner in Concubine Hui's family in the future, he could rely on this jade pendant to avoid death. die once.

Concubine Hui gave the jade pendant directly to the fifth prince, and the fifth prince even carried it with him every day, and he never left his body for so many years.

Old Master Cheng naturally recognized it, he took the jade pendant carefully, and it was indeed the one bestowed by the emperor.

"What can just a jade pendant prove?" Although Madam Cheng clamored to die with Cheng Shi before, but now that she was asked to go to the fifth prince's mansion, she knew that she was going to die, but she was still instinctively timid.

"Okay, I'll go with you, and give this jade pendant to my wife. If I come back, I will return this jade pendant to you. If I die, madam, you can take the jade pendant and go to the fourth prince."

Mr. Cheng told Mrs. Cheng, who looked at him like you were crazy.

"Master, don't go, this is a trap."

Mrs. Cheng's eyes were full of worry. She no longer had a son, and she couldn't lose Mr. Cheng anymore.

If there is no him, she will be left alone in this world. She has been used to living a life of rich clothes and good food all her life, and she doesn't even know how to make a fire to cook. How can she survive.

"Don't worry madam, nothing will happen."

Old Master Cheng smiled reassuringly, patted Mrs. Cheng's hand lightly, and left with Qiu Ran.

Mr. Cheng knew very well that Qiu Ran would definitely take them away when he came here today. If they resisted in a corner, they would be the ones who would be unlucky in the end.

In this way, even in order to protect his wife, he has chosen to take the risk alone.

Mrs. Cheng looked at the back of Mr. Cheng leaving, and she couldn't stop crying. She paced back and forth in the room anxiously, trying to think of a way. She definitely couldn't let Mr. Cheng have an accident.

Mr. Cheng is her only support in this world. If something happens to him, she may not live long.

Not long after Mr. Cheng left, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open again. Mrs. Cheng turned her head happily and saw Cheng Chong walking in with his wife.

Madam Cheng's joyful eyes dimmed instantly, and Cheng Chong walked in on his own, looking coldly at Madam Cheng's distressed appearance, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"I really didn't expect that the once high-ranking lady would have such a downcast day?"

Just because he was not Mrs. Cheng's own, she would be treated differently by Mrs. Cheng. She indulged Cheng Shi in every possible way, but was extremely harsh on him.

Even though he was better than Cheng Shi no matter what, but just because he was born by a concubine, he couldn't wait for the elegant hall. Cheng Shi could enter the court and become an official, but he could only spend his time at home and be a worthless bookworm.

His wife and children will also be targeted by Mrs. Cheng, and they will be beaten or scolded on weekdays. Even though they are also members of the Cheng family, in the eyes of Mrs. Cheng, they are not as good as the servants around Mrs. Cheng.

Doesn't it mean that they treat each other with cold eyes, and that they speak with guns and sticks on weekdays, belittling and sarcasm, and they will find out small mistakes for a long time, and punish the husband and wife.

It doesn't matter if it targets them, even their children will be counted down, which makes the two children cowardly and scared when they see Mrs. Cheng.

It was because of Mrs. Cheng's persecution that the couple chose to take away all their property at the most difficult time for the Cheng family.

But they didn't go very far, they kept looking at Cheng's family from a distance, and when they learned that Cheng Shi was dead, the husband and wife just felt a big heart.

It is said that a loving mother often loses children, and it is because of Mrs. Cheng's connivance that Cheng Shi fell to such a state, and he deserves death.

"Go away, I don't want to see you."

Mrs. Cheng turned away and did not go to see the couple at all. Now she was only worried about Mr. Cheng, and she was not in the mood to deal with them.

"Mother-in-law, this is your fault. My husband and I came here to visit you when we heard that our second brother died. Why are you so heartless and turned us away?"

Mrs. Cheng is also full of grievances, and now that she has found an outlet, she will naturally not miss it.

Her words were like an awl, ruthlessly piercing Mrs. Cheng's heart, making her broken heart even more bloody.

Cheng Shi's death has always been a wound that Mrs. Cheng can't heal in her life.

Tears fell from her eyes, and she begged the husband and wife with both hands.

"Please leave, I'm really tired, let me have a rest, please?"

She just wanted to be quiet, but now she couldn't ask for it.

"Ma'am, have you forgotten how our husband and wife begged you? But did you ever let us go? Let our children go?"

Just because Cheng Shi couldn't give birth to a child, Mrs. Cheng came up with the idea of ​​adopting their child to Cheng Shi.
