Strategy to develop champions

Chapter 567

At Old General Cheng's mansion, Mrs. Cheng in the study still had a sad expression on her face. It was clear that there was a big happy event just now, but the letter from the border seemed to put them in limbo again.

Old General Cheng sighed, and ordered his servants: "Go and invite Miss Si over here, and just say that I have something to say to her."

Mrs. Cheng stood up, clearly intending to stop her, but she didn't have time to say anything, she only saw the servant walking away, and then said: "Master, do you really want Lanzhi to see that person?"

"Lanzhi already knows the truth, if she is not allowed to see her for the last time, I am afraid she will resent us if she finds out the truth in the future, madam, don't worry, now that you have the sacred decree, what are you afraid of! "

Madam Cheng still hesitated, she sat down slowly, and said, "I hope so, but...if Lanzhi is unwilling to go, Master must not force her."

"That's natural, but let's see what Lanzhi means."

Cheng Lanzhi sat in front of the dressing table, her eyes were still a little red and swollen after being applied with cold water, the maid brought up the balm, and said in a low voice: "Girl, this balm is newly developed by the boss of Yaxiangzhai. Eliminate redness and swelling around the eyes, girl, do you want to try it?"

Cheng Lanzhi thought of the imperial decree just now, and felt a little more tenderness in her heart, she just nodded and said: "Get some for me and use it." Cheng Lanzhi closed her eyes, and the maid took the ointment with her fingertips to relax Gently massaging her to reduce the swelling, only to hear the little maid from outside come in and say: "Girl, Master invites you to the study."

The maid who was doing the massage stopped what she was doing, Cheng Lanzhi opened her reddish eyes, and said, "Go and answer first, and tell me that I'll be there right away."

Although there were countless fears in his heart, but also because of this imperial decree, Cheng Lanzhi took a deep breath, stood up and tucked in his clothes, so that he could look a little more happy, and forced a smile towards the bronze mirror, Then I went to the study in the front yard.

The red plum blossoms outside the study are in full bloom, and the dark fragrance is floating. There is no sound in the study. When Cheng Lanzhi enters, she sees Mrs. Cheng there, holding only a blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand. Seeing Miss Cheng come in, put it down The tea cup hesitated to speak.

Old General Cheng knew that Cheng Lanzhi already knew the truth, so he simply didn't hide it, and just cut straight to the point: "Your biological father went to the border, and now he was seriously injured to save Xiao Laosan. I don't know if he can survive this test." , now that he is in the Xiao residence, if you wish, you can take a look at him, maybe... it will be the last time."

Although Cheng Lanzhi didn't guess what was waiting for him, he never expected such news, so he froze in place, his beautiful almond eyes turned red, and he was slightly dazed.

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly said: "If you don't want to go, we won't force you. Now that the imperial decree has come down, I understand that the Xiao family doesn't dare to withdraw their marriage. You just have to stay at home and wait for the sedan chair of the Xiao mansion." gone."

The tears in Cheng Lanzhi's eyes fell, and he only choked up and said: "If he dies, how can I marry into the Xiao family as nothing? He hasn't raised me for more than ten years. Could it be that the first time we meet, I will die Show me? I don't believe it... Mother, take me to see him, I want to ask him why he gave birth to me but didn't want me..."

Madam Cheng also had tears in her eyes, she just nodded and said: "Okay, don't worry, I'll go to prepare the carriage right now, the men of the Xiao family are all fighting outside, so it's inconvenient for you to go, sir, just let me take Lanzhi Let's go there, now that there is an imperial decree, even if Mrs. Xiao knows something, she should keep her mouth shut."

Old General Cheng just nodded when he heard the words: "Go ahead, be careful when you speak, dismiss everyone, just... just say that you are going to see Xiao Laosan, understand?"

Mrs. Cheng nodded and said: "Of course I know this. Now that there is an imperial decree, we and the Xiao family can be regarded as relatives. It is only human for Lanzhi to pay a visit to Xiao Laosan. I understand even if you don't tell me."

Xiao Yiming returned home one step faster, Mrs. Xiao hadn't gotten up at that time, and the eunuch who passed the order in the palace appeared to go to Cheng's house again.Mrs. Xiao asked Sun's mother about Xiao Yiming's recent situation early in the morning. Sun's mother only said that she had eaten and was sleeping now, and the injuries on her body were not serious.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The third child is too kind, and he is led by the nose by others. No matter how precious the life of the big man is, he can live the life of the current queen mother, master, and others. Prince Gong's son? Anyone who is sick will go into the palace to ask for medicine, and the gate of this palace is not a vegetable market."

After hearing this, Mother Sun was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak, she just bowed her head and said yes, and went forward to serve Mrs. Xiao's breakfast.Mrs. Xiao happily sat down to eat breakfast, and left some delicious food, and ordered Mama Sun to deliver it to Xiao Yiming, and then waited for the two daughters-in-law to come to say hello. But when the eunuch came to the palace, he said that he was here to wear the imperial decree.

Mrs. Xiao thought to herself that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, probably Concubine Xiao's reward has arrived, so she hastily entered the room to change her clothes, and ordered the person in front to lay out a table to worship the heaven to receive the decree, this person has not yet reached the door Well, the eldest daughter-in-law greeted her and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, it's strange to say, isn't the marriage between the youngest of our family and Miss Cheng already settled? What is the emperor's imperial decree to grant marriage at this time?" What do you mean?"
