Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

Chapter 11 Meeting Grandparents

Because of this, Pei Haoting rarely looked kindly to the maid next to Mr. Cheng.

In Nan Ruan, a woman's dowry is always kept by herself and her husband's family is not allowed to misappropriate it. If it were spread that he had used his wife's dowry in order to redeem himself for a prostitute, he would probably make others laugh for three days and three nights.

What's more, he came here to coax Mrs. Cheng and return the housekeeping power to her.

No matter what Pei Haoting said, Bai Ying kept saying the same thing - Madam had a fever and was not in good health. She fell asleep at this time and asked the Marquis to be considerate and not to disturb her.

It wasn't until Pei Haoting finally lost her patience and turned around to leave that she secretly rolled her eyes and slammed the courtyard door.

"How dare you come to see Madam? You don't even look in the mirror to see what you look like."

Bai Ying is Cheng's dowry maid. She has grown up beside Cheng to serve her. Cheng's parents are like her reborn parents.

Not to mention how happy Bai Ying was to know that Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng were not dead and were now going to Beijing again.

She originally looked down upon Pei Haoting's behavior, but now she was even more displeased.

Bai Ying's wife, who had fallen asleep with a fever in her mouth, was holding Pei Shao on the street.

Afraid that her wheelchair would attract too much attention, she asked Bai Ying to find crutches early in the morning. Today, she was bundled up tightly and walked out of the house on crutches.

Mrs. Cheng received the news early this morning. Her father and mother had already entered Beijing and were staying in the inn. As soon as she received the news, Mrs. Cheng hurried out.

Pei Shao was usually in poor health, so Cheng rarely let her go out. This time, Pei Shao made a fuss about meeting her grandfather and grandmother, so Cheng had no choice but to take her out with her.

Thinking about meeting her parents after nearly twenty years, Cheng's nose sore uncontrollably and she almost shed tears.

When she was at the door of the room, she felt a rare sense of nostalgia and timidity in her heart.

Pei Shao saw that she didn't dare to push the door, so he took two steps forward and pushed the door open with his paw.

The old lady had been waiting for her for a long time, and when Mrs. Cheng saw her mother, whom she had not seen for nearly twenty years and thought she was dead, she finally couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears.

Mrs. Cheng was shocked when she saw her crutches.

"An Bai?! What happened to your legs?"

"No problem," Mrs. Cheng smiled gently and said nonchalantly, "I hurt my leg during confinement, and then I couldn't stand up."

The couple held each other and cried for a long time before the old lady wiped away her tears and brought Mrs. Cheng to the bedside.

Mr. Cheng was lying on the bed. His body was so skinny that he didn't even have much flesh on his face.

"How come Daddy's illness is so serious?!" Ms. Cheng was startled. Although she had received the news in advance and knew something about it, she never expected it to be so serious.

Mrs. Cheng shook her head and wiped the tears from her eyes with her fingertips.

"It's an old problem. When he was exiled, he encountered a bandit. In order to protect the whole family, your father was stabbed by the bandit several times. The root of the problem has been there since then."

"Where are the brothers?" Cheng asked a little puzzledly as she hadn't seen any of the brothers since she entered the door.

When Mrs. Cheng mentioned her sons, a smile appeared in her eyes.

"Your brothers are all capable. Now they have established their own business in Weicheng and have made a name for themselves."

Weicheng was the destination of the Cheng family's exile. It was located on the border between Nan Ruan and Bei Que. It was harassed by Bei Que cavalry all year round.

Cheng was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Why did you settle in Weicheng? Why not find a place with good folk customs?" Hearing this, the old lady sighed, "Besides Weicheng, there was no other place to go, but now, Your father, I, and your brothers have all changed our names. Outside, you can just call me Mrs. An."

She said, holding her daughter's hand again, "Just talking about this, how has An Bai been in these years? Is my uncle treating you well?"

"Everything is fine with my daughter."

As soon as Cheng finished speaking, the old lady heard a little milky sound in her ear.

【not good at all! The father spoils the concubine and destroys the wife! I never even looked at my mother in the house! Aunt Ding, a concubine, dares to humiliate her mother! Don’t mention how much grievances you have suffered! 】

Pei Shao was lying beside the old man's bed, mumbling in his heart.

The old lady suddenly stopped.

After a while, she pretended not to care and patted Mrs. Cheng's arm again, seeming to be a little relieved and said: "Fortunately, you have lived a good life these years. Not to mention that mother is still alive, even if she is under Jiuquan, she feels at ease. .”

The old man was lying on the bed, motionless. Pei Shao shouted in his ear several times but there was no response.

Pei Shao wrinkled his face and struggled for a long time. He almost rummaged through the system but couldn't find anything useful.

Pei Shao felt a little frustrated for the first time.

Afraid of being noticed by Pei Haoting, Mrs. Cheng only chatted briefly with the old lady about household matters, gave the old lady the address of the new house, and left in a hurry with Pei Shao.

The old lady watched the two of them go out, her eyes touched Cheng's limping back, and the little milky voice appeared in her heart again, and her mood was indescribably complicated.

She sat on the chair next to the bed, stared out the window and murmured.

"Is it really wrong to leave An Bai here alone for all these years?"

The old lady burst into tears again.

After hurriedly returning home, she heard Bai Ying say that Pei Haoting had come to see her. Mrs. Cheng didn't pay much attention and grabbed Pei Shao to wash up.

Pei Haoting came to find her and figured out what was going on with his toes.

Having been a housekeeper for so many years, she had already placed a lot of her staff in the Zhuangzi shop outside. But during the time when Aunt Ding took over, she was afraid that things were already in chaos outside.

Cheng sneered slightly.

She doesn't bother to argue with those clowns on weekdays. Does Pei Haoting really think she is a soft persimmon? She was paralyzed, not stupid.

As for Pei Haoting's temperament of not going to the Three Treasures Palace for anything, she pretended not to know that she was so bullied by Ding in the mansion. If she said that she would change her mind now, who would believe it.

She had made up her mind that when Pei Haoting came to her door again, she would choke him. Who knows, after waiting for a few days, Su Xing came to the door crying, but Pei Haoting was not there either.

"Madam," Su Xing cried and knelt in the yard. There was a bright red slap mark on her beautiful cheek. It looked like she had used 100% of her strength.

"That Aunt Ding! You really don't take Madam seriously!" Su Xing scolded angrily: "Xing'er just... just asked the maid to get an extra bird's nest. How dare she humiliate me like this! This doesn't even take Madam seriously. You take her seriously! Madam, please punish her severely!"

Su Xing said, banging his head and kneeling on the ground.

"Miss Su," Ms. Cheng leaned on her wheelchair and sighed sadly.

"I sympathize with Miss Su's experience... Sigh, but who doesn't know that the current Marquis is simply her boss. Although I want to help Miss Su, I really can't do anything."
