Chapter 237

Chen Cheng took the money and walked to Yucheng overnight. After dawn, he went into the city, found a bank, went in, and took out a bank note worth a thousand taels to the person at the counter.

"Exchange it for 100 taels for me."

"Your bank note is fake and cannot be exchanged."

Chen Cheng opened his eyes wide and took back the bank note. He stared at the bank note for a long time without seeing anything wrong.

The person at the counter saw that he didn't look like a liar in his clothes, but he looked like someone had been cheated, so he kindly told him.

"There are three dots in the middle of the seal of the real bank note, but you don't have one."

After Chen Cheng listened, he took a closer look and found that there was nothing there, so he quickly took out the other bank notes in the bag and checked them one by one.When he found out that they were all fake bank notes, his face turned dark.He was so angry that he tore the fake banknotes to pieces.

The person at the counter saw that he was tearing it up like this, and kindly reminded him.

"This is evidence. If you tear it up like this, how can you go to someone else to settle the claim?"

These words reminded Chen Cheng, he stared blankly at the shredded paper on the ground, struggled for a long time, and finally decided not to go back.

Who knows if Boss Li has set up a trick for him, but fortunately he still has his mother's jewelry, with these things, he should be able to go to the capital.

When he arrived in the capital, he went to the palace.

Anyway, he is already a useless person now, and he may have a day to go to the palace.

In this way, Chen Cheng found a pawn shop, pawned all the jewelry and left Yucheng.

In Fengyu Town, Mudan was still waiting for her son to come back, but after waiting for a whole day, she knew that her son would not come back.

That night, she hanged herself, which was the second thing that Boss Li didn't count.

He thought that people like Mudan who had been in Hualou wouldn't be too upset to commit suicide because of this matter, but he didn't expect that she really died.

The first thing was that he thought that Chen Cheng would come back to argue with himself when he found out that the bank note was fake, but he made a mistake and Chen Cheng did not come back.

……

Mr. Chen knew about Peony hanging himself that night. He also knew that Boss Li didn't care when he attacked their mother and son.

Now that the person is dead, he doesn't even bother to pay attention to it, but it is a bit unexpected to him, it is Chen Cheng.

I didn't expect this son to be so ruthless. Thinking about it makes me tremble with fear. Now that I think about it, I feel very lucky, otherwise his final fate might not be much better than Mudan's.

Mrs. Chen looked at the master and said, "She has been with you for more than ten years, give her a corpse!"

"Ma'am, you have such a kind heart that you don't care about past suspicions." There was something in Mr. Chen's words. He didn't believe that his wife really asked him to collect Mudan's body.

"Everyone is dead, so why should I hate you?" Mrs. Chen said without hesitation, and then yawned, "I'm tired, sir, please go back."

Master Chen frowned: "I'm going to rest at your place tonight, and we haven't been together for quite a while."

If this was left in the past, Mrs. Chen would still be shy and awkward, but now she doesn't feel it at all.

"I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve the master because of my confinement."

Master Chen's face darkened immediately, very disappointed, he turned and left without saying anything.

As soon as the master left, Mammy came over.

"Madam, why bother to refuse the master."

Mrs. Chen smiled and said nothing, turned around and went to rest.

Master Chen left the plum garden, after much deliberation, he finally sent someone to collect Mudan's body.

And he himself returned to his room.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Yiran and Daniel went out early, and when they arrived in town, they went to the inn and got a room.

Then the two went out for a walk.

"Seed cakes, sesame cakes, delicious and cost-effective sesame cakes..."

Hearing the sound of selling sesame seed cakes, she ran over immediately, and then turned to ask Daniel.

"do you want to eat?"

Seeing her eating such greasy food early in the morning, Zhang Daniu frowned and walked over.

"It's not good to eat this early in the morning."

"It's okay, just eat once in a while, and the boss will come over."

"Okay, wait a minute." The biscuit seller wrapped a biscuit in lotus leaves for her, "Hold it, it's a bit hot."

"Okay, how much is it?" Zhou Yiran asked after taking the biscuits.

"Three pennies a piece." Said the biscuit seller.

Daniel counted three Wen coins to him.

She took a bite, and it tasted pretty good, and she thought it was worth the three pennies.

"Uncle, it will taste even better if you add chopped green onion."

"Okay." The biscuit seller made a note in his heart.

The buyer's suggestions are all from the face of the food, and he can try it when he goes back.As long as the biscuits are delicious, there is no fear that they will not be sold.

The two walked away, she ate while walking, and the big cow behind her shook her head.

Zhou Yiran turned her head, just in time to see him shaking his head, she frowned.

"What do you mean by shaking your head?"

"Are the biscuits delicious?" Zhang Daniu skipped the topic.

"It's delicious, would you like some?"

Zhang Daniu nodded, and she immediately tore a large piece and fed it into Daniu's mouth.

"Tsk tsk, don't be ashamed, I don't know how to be careful on the street." The woman passing by said with a look of disgust.

Daniu's face turned red, she looked at it and laughed, sticking out her tongue slightly, she ignored the woman's words.

She didn't do anything excessive, she just fed her husband something.

But she didn't blame the aunt, the ancients were all like this, so it was normal for the aunt to speak like that.

"Is it delicious?" She asked Daniel in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's not as delicious as what I make." Zhang Daniu said.

"Tch, you know how to cook it, why haven't you cooked it for me?" She said in vain.

Zhang Daniu glanced at her: "It's not good to eat too much of this greasy food."

She wrinkled her nose: "It's not every day, but occasionally."

"Okay, I'll make it for you when I go back tomorrow, so that you can know what authentic biscuits are."

Hearing what Daniel said, she became a little curious.

"Da Niu, you said that you are a farmer and you know so many things."

"This is a secret."

"It's still a secret, maybe it was a cook before."

Zhang Daniu smiled and led her forward.

"Don't eat this." Zhang Daniu took the remaining biscuits in her hand, and stuffed two bites into his mouth.

She watched her pancakes being eaten by the big cow, and frowned.

"How can you do this?"

"I will make it for my husband tomorrow, so you can eat enough. Now you and I will eat something nutritious."

"This is what you said. You must keep your word, so tick it."

Looking at her outstretched little finger, Zhang Daniu thought it was childish, she actually believed in this child's trick, but he still stretched out his little finger to hook her finger.

For the one I love, no matter how naive she is, I still have to stay with her, as long as she is happy.

"A liar is a puppy."

"Well, liars are puppies."

She laughed: "Where are you taking me for breakfast?"

"Since I'm out to play today, then enjoy it and take you to a restaurant for my husband."

"Just the restaurant that Zhou Qing invited us to eat last time?" she asked.

Zhang Daniu nodded: "Well, that's the one."

"It's better not to go, it's too expensive, let's eat something else, it's cheap and still full."

Zhang Daniu frowned: "If the money is gone, the husband can earn more, eat happily."

"It's not that I don't want to part with the money, but I just feel that I don't have enough to eat." She was a little embarrassed.

"If you are not full, you can order more food, so that you can be full." Zhang Daniu has already made up his mind, and decided to go there to eat.

Daniel has already said this, if she said anything else, it would prove that she thought it was too expensive and was still reluctant to part with the money.

But really, she just couldn't bear the money.The food is delicious, but really expensive.

Last time it was Zhou Qing who paid, so she ate happily.But this time she paid for it herself, she was reluctant.

When the two came to the door of the restaurant, she didn't want to go in, but Daniel took her by the hand and dragged her in.

Xie Qi came down from upstairs, and when he saw Zhou Yiran, his eyes lit up, and he walked downstairs quickly.

"What a coincidence, I met you in this kind of place." There was something in the words, in short, she felt that this kind of place was not a place where she and Daniel could come.

This is how the rich despise the poor.

"It's quite a coincidence." Zhang Daniu replied calmly.

"Come here for breakfast!" Xie Qi smiled, then turned to Xiao Er and said, "Xiao Er, I will pay for what they eat."

"Thank you so much, sir." Zhang Daniu was not polite at all.

Xie Qi was stunned, thinking that he would refuse, but he did not expect that since he accepted it calmly.This caught him off guard.

Originally, what I said to Xiao Er just now was just a polite remark, but now that I'm done, I'm shooting myself in the foot.

Zhou Yiran, who was watching from the side, buried her head in a muffled smile, and returned to normal after laughing, raised her head to thank Xie Qi.

"Then I would like to thank the mayor."

Xie Qi took a deep breath and said to Xiaoer, "Go back and get it from the mansion."

Xiao Er nodded.

After Xie Qi left, Xiao Er looked at the two of them.

"Would you like to go upstairs or downstairs?"

"Just downstairs." Zhang Daniu said.

Xiao Er didn't understand, why didn't he go upstairs since there was a treat.

Zhou Yiran knew that Daniel was going to pay for it himself.So just now, she deliberately made Xie Qi feel embarrassed, and she wanted to laugh when she thought of Xie Qi's appearance just now.

"What would you like to eat?" After sitting down, Xiaoer asked.

"Two bowls of lean meat porridge and two baskets of steamed stuffed buns." Daniel said to Xiao Er.

Seeing that Daniel is so proficient in ordering food, she viciously wondered if he used to come here often.

But she knew that Daniel would not come to this kind of place.

"Is it just these things? Don't you two order some other snacks?" Xiaoer asked.

"No, just eat these." Daniel said.

"Okay, wait a moment, both of you."

Soon, what they wanted came, and she smelled the porridge, her appetite whetted.

The things in the big restaurant are different, a bowl of porridge is so tempting.

"Eat a bun, this bun is delicious." Daniel took the bun and put it on a side plate, and then he reminded, "There is soup in it, it's a bit hot, you should eat it carefully."

For Daniel's reminder, she nodded with a smile.

"Don't worry about me and eat quickly." She picked up the bun and took a small bite.

"Well, what kind of soup is this? It's very fresh." She had never eaten soup dumplings with this taste.

"I don't know. This is a secret soup made by others. It's not rumored. Only this family has it." He had eaten this kind of buns several times, but he couldn't figure out the secret inside, so he gave up.
