Chapter 685 Status, Responsibility (2)
"Let the daughter-in-law, the two grand-daughter-in-laws, and the servants who know about this today all go to the main house."

Although Cheng Zheng's is almost in charge of the Dingguo Duke's mansion, Yun's position as the mistress is unshakable. The courtyard where Yun and Cheng Peng live is the largest in the entire mansion. Every day, no matter morning or evening, Mrs Cheng Zheng, Mrs Xu, and Mrs Zhang would go to the main house to pay their respects to Mrs Yun, and the time of Yunbi's accident today was the time when Mrs Yun's daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law paid her respects.

After Cheng Peng finished speaking, he walked in the front towards the main house, Su Xinli and Lan Yishu followed closely behind, Cheng Shaowei, Cheng Yufan and others quickly followed, and caught up with Su Xinli, Cheng Ziqian said Pulling on Su Xinli's clothes, Su Xinli looked back at him, twitched the corners of her mouth, and gave him a smile, signaling him to rest assured. Compared with Cheng Zifeng's anger and annoyance, Cheng Ziqian seemed much calmer, because the North District For the project, the brothers of the Dingguo Mansion had the most contact with Su Xinli, and in the floods in August and September last year, many refugees were resettled in the North District, so for a long time, Cheng Zifeng has been They are all assisting Su Xinli to deal with the flood. Although Su Xinli is his sister, he has an almost blind admiration and trust for Su Xinli, so he feels that if Su Xinli has something to do, he will not talk to them. , there must be her concerns and reasons.

The main house where Cheng Peng arrived first, sat down in the middle, Su Xinli stood behind him, Cheng Shaowei and others stood in front of Cheng Peng, after a while, Cheng Zheng, Xu , Mrs. Zhang and the servant girl who knew about this incident all arrived one after another, but because Murong Yu hadn't come yet, everyone was still waiting.Cheng Peng glanced at Su Xinli who was standing behind him. At this moment, the sky was already dark, and the lights in the room were turned on. When the soft yellow light shone on Su Xinli's face, it made her cold-faced It seemed that there was a worrying weakness, as if he would collapse at any time because he couldn't stand up, Cheng Peng pointed to the seat beside him, "You sit here."

As soon as Cheng Peng said this, almost everyone present was stunned, and Cheng Zheng exclaimed in dissatisfaction: "Father!"

In the middle of the main house, there are only two seats, Yun's sits the most, and Cheng Peng also often sits. Those two seats, in the eyes of those present, are a status symbol, and only Duke Dingguo In a sense, if you sit there, you will be the head of the family. Now, Cheng Peng appointed Su Xinli to sit in that position, which is a big blow to her status in Dingguo Duke's Mansion. A kind of recognition, a recognition of a status that no one can surpass, because so far, none of them present has ever sat in that position, and even dared not even think about it. Cheng Peng's move is enough to show that today's events are important According to Su Xinli, it will not have any influence at all, or in other words, he absolutely believes that Yun Bi's death has nothing to do with her.

"What are you yelling for!"

Cheng Peng's majestic voice was even more murderous at this moment, making Cheng Zheng's lips tremble in fright, but she was really unwilling, unwilling to be inferior to Su Xinli, unwilling to be inferior to her husband, or inferior to her son Su Xinli, obviously their surname is Cheng, but the two elders in the family tend to favor Su Xinli in everything, preferring a granddaughter with a different surname. Cheng Zheng is really curious, what did Su Xinli and Cheng Peng say that made his attitude In less than half an hour, so much has changed. After the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she often heard people say that Su Xinli was eloquent. She also knew that her niece was really very eloquent, but she never expected She can turn black and white, and the worst thing is, Cheng Peng still believes her.

"Isn't there a stool in the room?"

She said tremblingly, on weekdays, it's okay for Yun to pull Su Xinli to sit with her when they pay their respects. Cheng Zheng is not a fool, although she can't say in detail what she and her friends used to be. The difference now, but that was different, Su Xinli glanced at Cheng Zhengshi who was full of reluctance, walked to Cheng Peng's side, blessed him, "Yes, thank you grandfather."

She smiled at Cheng Peng, and then sat down beside him. Her behavior surprised Cheng Shaowei and Cheng Ziqian, because Su Xinli had always been quite indifferent and humble, especially It was in Dingguo Duke's Mansion. Although Cheng Zheng would occasionally make things difficult because she was unwilling to be jealous, her attitude had always been quite kind. But today—although Su Xinli didn't say anything to Cheng Zheng, everyone never said anything to Cheng Zheng. There was an aggressive aura about her.

Su Xinli leaned her elbows on the low table placed in the middle of the table, her sitting posture was quite elegant, with an indescribable aura, her appearance was really strange to everyone who saw her.

"Grandpa, don't let uncle and elder brother stand there."

As soon as Su Xinli finished speaking, Cheng Peng asked Cheng Shaowei and others who were standing to sit down. Not to mention Cheng Zheng, even Cheng Shaowei and Cheng Yufan were so curious that Su Xinli and Cheng Peng were in the study What were they talking about? They had contact with Su Xinli before, so they naturally knew Su Xinli's eloquence, but they knew in their hearts that it was absolutely impossible for Cheng Peng to make such a change based on eloquence alone. They concluded that Su Xinli must be right Cheng Peng said something extremely important.

Su Xinli only said to let her uncle and elder brother sit down, but not her aunt and sister-in-law, so Cheng Peng didn't let Mrs. Zheng Cheng and Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhang sit down. They were like wooden figures with those The maids stood together. Su Xinli wanted to show them off, and Cheng Peng cooperated quite well. He vaguely felt that, compared to himself, perhaps Su Xinli was more suitable to be the backbone supporting Duke Dingguo's mansion, because she was very sensitive, She has courage and keen insight.

This position symbolizes status, but at the same time, it also means responsibility.For Su Xinli, Cheng Peng felt a little guilty. Originally, she didn't need to get involved in these right and wrong, but now, she was completely tied to them.

For a long time, Su Xinli knew that not everyone in the Dingguo government admired her, but she felt that since it was a family, a harmonious life was naturally the most important thing, as long as they did not do harm to Dingguo. She can give in to government affairs, and turn a blind eye to everything, but now, she suddenly realizes that her connivance may make them be used by others, what she wants is absolute obedience, She wants them to know that whether they like her or hate her in their hearts, her good and her bad are closely related to their interests, life and death, because she feels that many things are a little different from the previous life, in order to settle In the Duke's Mansion, for those people she cares about, she needs to take every step carefully. She has a very strong premonition that she will be very busy in the future, and she doesn't have so much time to be distracted to deal with these people .Moreover, when Murong Yu came, seeing her sitting here, without saying anything, she should know that her plan had failed.
