Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

After Mrs. Yuan left, Mrs. Qin came and asked Cheng Sanniang what she meant. Mother and daughter had the same idea, so the matter was settled.

"Third sister, you don't want to pick any more?"

Cheng Xiaosi stepped forward, "Maybe there are many outstanding men, do you really not want to choose?"

Cheng Sanniang sat down, poured herself a glass of water, and sighed, "Of course there are outstanding men, but how can I choose someone better than the Jiang family?"

"I know my situation myself. Don't talk about the past. Before I came to the capital last year, someone told me that I could be selected by such a family. I definitely wouldn't believe it."

She has always had a clear understanding of herself, "The eldest son of the Jiang family is the grandson of Jiang's eldest son, and I am Jiang's eldest daughter-in-law. How dare I think of such a good thing before?"

"Even if I marry someone from a distinguished family, there is absolutely no chance that I will be the legitimate grandson of my eldest son. The good luck is falling on me right now. Can I choose?"

Cheng Xiaosi nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood, "If the fifth son of Yuan is the grandson of the Yuan family, it will not be my turn."

"Even if it's my turn, I feel guilty because I don't look like I'm competent."

The daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson will be the clan daughter-in-law of the clan from now on. "Looking up and down, looking left and right, I don't look like such a powerful person."

Cheng Sanniang wanted to comfort her, thinking that she was no different. She was only good at doing business and settling accounts. Who among the high-ranking ladies would do this in person?

There are many people below who want to do things for her.

The two sisters lamented for a while. They were the only ones living in this courtyard now. It was very deserted. "When the third sister gets married, I will be the only one in this courtyard."

Cheng Sanniang smiled and said: "How can it be so fast?"

"So unhappy?"

Cheng Xiaosi sighed, "The third sister is older than me, and the eldest son of the Jiang family has also passed the age earlier. If we are engaged, we will definitely say goodbye, I"

Before he could finish his words, Cheng Yousan came out in a hurry, "Cheng Xiaosi."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he said loudly, "I'm warning you that from today on, you are not allowed to go out without my company, do you understand?"

"No, I might not be able to accompany you. You can't go out unless it's important. Even if you want to see Yuan Wu, just send someone to invite him."

Seeing how serious he was, Cheng Xiaosi was curious, "What's going on outside?"

"Today, Qiu Shoufu's two most beloved grandsons were kidnapped half an hour after they left the city gate. Even the ransom note was sent to Qiu's family. They asked for an additional three hundred thousand taels."

"The kidnappers are so rampant now. They are committing crimes at the feet of the emperor. They are almost running to the city to kidnap people. That Zhang Dewen hasn't even been redeemed yet, and here comes another family."

Cheng Xiaosi was surprised, "Another three hundred thousand?"

"What's the situation now? Will the Qiu family give it to me?"

"do not know."

Cheng Yousan came back specifically to tell Cheng Xiaosi that this was her favorite place in the house and she would hang out there when she had nothing to do. Yuan Wu also often came to see her, "Anyway, you should go out less often."

After saying that, he hurried away. This thing was simply too bad. They needed to step up patrols.

"Your Majesty, please save my grandson."

Qiu Shoufu knelt in front of the emperor and burst into tears, "Where did I get so much money? This will cost my life."

Is it smart to be the first assistant?

If he takes out the silver, the emperor will summon him in person tomorrow, and at the very least he will have to peel off his skin. Only Mrs. Zhang of the Zhang family is stupid and has just raised the silver to send it out.

The emperor frowned slightly, thinking that Cheng Daqi still couldn't be handled well, so he couldn't be kidnapped quietly?

Do you have to be seen?

"The thief dares to walk in the capital in broad daylight. He is really bold." The emperor was full of anger and said, "Send General Xiaoniu to see me."

"Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty."

Qiu Shoufu was so frightened that once General Maverick left with his troops, how could his grandson be saved?

The emperor didn't care so much because he didn't want to use this trick anymore. The money came in quickly, but there were too many consequences.

"No?"

The emperor snorted coldly, "Do you still want me to give you money?"

"Don't worry, I will let General Maverick bring your grandson back as much as possible."

If you can't bring it back, it's your life.

Qiu Shoufu regretted why he entered the palace and wanted to slap himself twice.

General Mavericks came very quickly. After receiving the emperor's order to suppress the bandits, he turned around and went to prepare. Qiu Shoufen chased him out, begging him to save his grandson no matter what. General Mavericks stopped and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will Do your best to bring back the two young gentlemen."

Qiu Shoufu burst into tears and looked back in the direction of the imperial study. He originally wanted to borrow money from the emperor to redeem his grandson first, and then kill the kidnappers. In this way, the money would come back, but the emperor didn't think about it. and the life of his grandson.

General Mavericks left the palace gate and sent someone to quietly deliver a message to Cheng Daqi. After receiving the letter, Cheng Daqi immediately found his old father-in-law, and then he attacked his old father-in-law, "You bastard, I'm really going to be killed by you." .”

He said that the emperor was unreliable and what the hell.

Cheng Daqi went back to his house dejectedly and locked himself in the study. He was also absent-minded when Cheng Daqian spoke to him at night. It was not until after dinner that Cheng Daqi called Cheng Daqian to the study and said in a voice that only two people could hear. After everything was revealed, Cheng Dashan was so frightened that he couldn't recover for a while.

"Is the emperor crazy? There are many ways to make money, so he has to do this?"

"What do you mean you still regret it now?"

"Will you kill people and silence them?"

He whispered, Cheng Daqi shook his head, "Since the beginning of spring, he has become more and more uncertain. One moment he was still laughing, and the next moment it was a storm, and he became more and more impatient. He wanted what he wanted immediately, without thinking about it. wait."

"This time, I immediately wanted to find a way to get the money. Where can I find it for him, and push people out to be chopped by him?"

"I gave him an idea but he didn't listen. He thought of such a solution and still insisted on me to do it. You say... ugh."

Mr. Cheng sighed. It would be uncomfortable to accompany you as a tiger.

"What should I do with the old man?"

Cheng Daqi said: "I sent people the money, but I could only let the people outside the city run away and hide first."

"This time I tricked my father-in-law."

Cheng Dashan asked, "You didn't say it was the old man who did it, right?"

Cheng Daqi was very angry, "He asked the old man to do it."

"I have to think of an idea to help my father-in-law pass this test."

Cheng Dashan said that the caravan under the Cheng family opened a route from the capital to the northern grasslands, which was seven or eight days shorter than the court's one. "Send it up, and add the escort agency to it. This can be considered a credit." It should be safe for the time being, but if we want long-term peace, I'm afraid we have to think of something else."

Cheng Daqi understood what he meant, but he didn't point it out, "Let's take it one step at a time."
