Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 270
Mrs. Cheng didn't speak, just sat aside and looked at her husband, Xiao Nuo took out all the bank notes and stuffed them into his arms, seeing his wife sitting opposite without saying a word, he thought for a while, took out the bank notes and counted out 500 Passed the two to Cheng, forced a smile and said: "Put these away first, I will use the rest."

Cheng took the banknote silently, seeing that her husband still didn't intend to explain, she couldn't help asking, "Master, how did you get so much money?"

Xiao Nuo's complexion changed several times, and after a while he said in a deep voice, "I sold the Zhuangzi of Waiba Village."

"Ah...how can this be done, Master, that Zhuangzi has made a lot of money in a year, so why don't you just sell it?" Cheng exclaimed.This promise really surprised her.

Xiao Nuo said angrily, "If I want to sell it, I will sell it. What are you talking about, and I didn't sell your dowry!"

Cheng Shi was so choked by these words, big teardrops fell down, soon soaking Cheng Shi's lapel.

There is still affection between Xiao Nuo and the Cheng family. Seeing his wife crying silently, Xiao Nuo will inevitably feel a little distressed, so he said in a calm voice: "Don't be annoyed, I sold the Zhuangzi left by my mother. I feel bad, there is no other way, yesterday I managed to find a Moyu Maitreya Buddha statue, but the other party asked for 1000 taels of silver, and I can’t do without a tael, what can I do? Zhuangzi who sold his mother is in an emergency, after this hurdle is over, I will definitely redeem Zhuangzi in the future."

Cheng cried: "Master, how can you redeem Zhuangzi after selling him!"

Xiao Nuo's heart tightened. Yesterday he only thought about selling Zhuangzi for silver. In fact, he didn't think about buying Zhuangzi back. Who is Zhuangzi's Allah and buyer, but how can he buy it back?

Seeing her husband's expression, Cheng knew that Zhuangzi would never come back again. She felt sorry for the thousands of taels of silver that year, and also sad that the inheritance left by her mother-in-law was sold so cheaply. Ah, I don't know how much money will be spent in the future. If the husband sells it smoothly, their little family will not be able to withstand several sales!
"I want to honor my father and the king. I don't care about being a concubine. It's just that we didn't earn much. Now that we have gone to another Zhuangzi, I'm afraid that the future will be even more difficult. Master, the days ahead will be long." Cheng said tactfully.

Xiao Nuo was silent for a moment, nodded slowly and said: "Only this time, there will be no more in the future. This Zhuangzi is sold, and I will definitely buy a bigger and better Zhuangzi in the future. Life will not always be like this It’s going to be tough, just get through these few years.”

Mrs. Cheng heard what her husband said, what else could she say, she just nodded and said: "I hope that as the master said, life will get better soon."

Xiao Nuo nodded, and said slowly: "Serve me to change clothes. I have to go and invite the Jade Buddha back today. Are you ready for the potion I told you to prepare?"

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the master, I will prepare it immediately after you give the order. Now that everything is ready, I will wait for the master to invite the Jade Buddha back. I will soak it for ten days."

Xiao Nuo sneered and said: "That's good. The prescription given to you is nothing short of magical. The most rare thing is that even the imperial doctor can't find it out. That's why it's not easy to get the Duanzicao. I didn't expect you to be able to buy it."

Mrs. Cheng heard a trace of suspicion in her husband's words, and said in a low voice: "This is my luck. I gave the prescription a few days ago, and my concubine sent people to look for it. I actually found it. The concubine was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she sent several people to buy different medicines separately, so as to keep them so that no one would be suspicious."

Xiao Yu then smiled and said: "So that's the case. It can be seen that God is on my side, and the fate is on me. Let's see who can compete with me!"

Cheng hurriedly covered Xiao Nuo's mouth and said in a low voice: "My lord, keep quiet, now I don't even know if there are other people's ears in Zhong Yuyuan. Let's be more cautious in the future!"

Xiao Nuo frowned, just about to have an attack but endured it.Now he is not the male master of this palace, sometimes he has to bow his head.

Cheng served Xiao Nuo to change the clothes for going out, Xiao Nuo went out of the palace and went straight to Duobaoxuan in Liulifang, and successfully invited back the Moyu Maitreya Buddha statue.He brought the Jade Buddha back to Zhong Yuyuan, and Cheng Shiping retreated all the maids and maids. The husband and wife worked together to put the Moyu Maitreya Buddha statue into a wooden barrel filled with a lot of colorless liquid.

Xiao Nuo put the lid on the barrel, and melted the wax to seal the lid.After everything was done, Xiao Nuo and Cheng Shi looked at each other, and both of them smiled. This was a carefree smile they had never had for a long time.

Seeing that it's the new year, but the matter of inviting New Year's wine to Prince Ning's mansion has not yet been settled. Rao, the eldest concubine Cheng made up her mind early on to ignore everything. It doesn't matter to him whether or not to buy New Year's wine.

As the current emperor's brother with the same mother, as long as Prince Ning has no intention of rebelling against him, no one can shake Prince Ning's position when the current emperor is firmly seated in the Dragon Court.He really doesn't need to invite New Year's wine to increase contact with the relatives and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty.

But for the eldest son Xiao Nuo and the second son Xiao Xi, inviting New Year's wine is an extremely rare and good opportunity. Both of them need to use the New Year's wine to get close to relatives and nobles, and secretly build momentum for their loyal princes.The rightful prince and the four princes from the empress of the palace are fighting for the throne, but all courtiers with a heart are aware of it, but because the trouble has not been made public, the current emperor is not aware of it for the time being.

"Why hasn't the date for the New Year's wine been fixed yet, and the list hasn't been made yet. What exactly does that woman want to do?" After asking Cheng several times without getting a reply, Xiao Yu couldn't help asking angrily. Of course, this question His only target is his wife, Cheng Shi. Now Xiao Nuo dare not directly question his stepmother, Princess Ning.

Cheng said aggrievedly: "The concubine mother didn't give orders, and the master said that I would not let the concubine ask more questions, so the concubine didn't know."

"When is this? I don't care if I don't ask or I didn't do it like this... Forget it, I'll ask my father tomorrow." Xiao Nuo said impatiently, then walked out with his sleeves thrown.

Cheng Shi is a mute who suffers from eating Coptis chinensis, so she can only cry secretly. Now her life is getting more and more difficult every day.At just 22 years old, she already feels that the days are like years, and she always feels that the days are really slow, as if there is no end to it.
