pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 80

The men left, Shen Tang smiled and led A Yu into the room: "Did you get scared just now?"

A Yu nodded, and asked her puzzledly: "Why did the young master beat my brother?"

"Because the second cousin thinks he is a bad guy who lied to you, and he is afraid that you will be snatched away by him." Shen Tang looked at the food on the table, and motioned for A Yu to return the food to the pot with her to warm it up. By the way, he asked A Yu and What did my brother say.After washing her hands after busy work, she took A Yu's hand and sighed: "So your brother knew about the second cousin beating you, no wonder he was so angry. A Yu, if your brother doesn't want you to be with the second cousin, why are you manage?"

A Yu was stunned, and at this moment, she didn't care whether she was shy or not, she lowered her head and said, "The young master is so kind to me, brother, he..."

Shen Tang shook his head: "Your brother obviously doesn't like us, otherwise why would he do it? Ayu, now you are an official lady, we are just low-level businessmen, and my second cousin married you as Gao Pan, I just ask you for him now In other words, if the second cousin insists on marrying you, and your elder brother always opposes the marriage, will you listen to him, or will you be devoted to the second cousin, no matter what happens, he will not marry you?"

Ayu raised her head slowly, she wanted to say that her brother would not object, but she hadn't seen her brother for so many years, except that he was still as good to her as before, she didn't know much about the rest.As for Zhan Huaichun, she doesn't know the difference between officials and businessmen, or whether they are high-ranking or not. She only knows that Zhan Huaichun has treated her so well, unless Zhan Huaichun is angry with her again and doesn't want her anymore. She wants to marry him.

"Cousin girl..."

"Ayu, don't call me Cousin girl anymore. You are not the maid of the Zhan family now. If you call me like this again, it will appear alien to us, and it will make your brother feel uncomfortable. Ayu, you can call me by my name in the future. When you see second cousin, call him Zhan Huaichun or Mr. Zhan, don't call him young master." Shen Tang first corrected her address.

A Yu agreed, then bowed his head after a pause and said, "I, as long as Zhan... as long as he still wants to marry me, I will persuade my brother to agree."

Shen Tang held her hand, and said softly, "Don't worry, second cousin will definitely marry you, I've never seen him care so much about anyone."

In the next room, Zhan Zhihan and Cheng Yang sat side by side in the main seat, Zhan Huaichun sat under Zhan Zhihan, turned his head and looked out the window, his face ashen.

Cheng Yang's face was uglier than his.

As if he hadn't seen him, Zhan Zhihan said calmly, "...my brother couldn't bear Miss Cheng to be reduced to prostitution, and was worried that Miss Cheng would be bullied by her relatives when she moved back, so I had to take her home, and then fell in love with each other for a long time... just My younger brother is stupid and has a bad temper..."

"Brother!" Zhan Huaichun couldn't take it any longer, and shouted sharply.

Zhan Zhihan looked at him, "You lost your temper and beat Miss Cheng, isn't that true?"

Zhan Huaichun was choked, and just about to speak, Cheng Yang sneered: "So Ayu regained her memory after being ill and insisted on going home. In order to please Ayu, Master Zhan sent her back, but he used another How to imprison Ayu by your side, take advantage of her and ruin her reputation, forcing her to have no other choice but to marry you, right?"

"Don't speak so harshly! Ah Yu and I are in love, if you don't believe me, you can ask her if she likes me or not!" Zhan Huaichun stood up abruptly, staring at her eyes.

Cheng Yang looked at him sarcastically: "You know better than me what is Ayu's temperament. She is so simple, and she knows what it means to like her? If you pester her with a faceless face and use those tricks to fool little girls on her, will she be fooled? "

"I……"

"enough!"

Cheng Yang got up abruptly, walked to Zhan Huaichun in two or three steps, his eyes were full of hostility: "Zhan Huaichun, whether the nunnery is true or not, I will know tonight, if it is true, no matter whether you are kind or because For any other reason, I, Cheng Yang, owe you once for helping Ayu leave that kind of place. If you want money, an official or other business needs, you even ask me to kowtow to you, as long as you ask, I will do so. But you don't want to get close to A Yu again! In the past, I didn't take good care of her, I failed to protect her, and I failed to teach her the ways of the world. From now on, I will not let her live under the fence to watch people's faces and let others beat and scold her Frivolous jokes! I'll give you half a day, take your servants and leave Wangjia Village immediately, or don't blame me for being ungrateful!"

If Zhan Huaichun really saved Ah Yu, he could be grateful to him, and he could ignore Zhan Huaichun's contempt and beating of his sister, but he would never let his sister be with a man who could beat her heartlessly!
Taking one last look at the Zhan family brothers, Cheng Yang turned and left.

Zhan Huaichun tried to catch up and explain with a pale face, but Zhan Zhihan stopped him: "Second brother, he is angry now, and he won't listen to what you say. Go back with me first, and wait for the Cheng family to finish their own affairs. Find a way to explain it clearly.”

Zhan Huaichun lowered his eyes and clenched his fists in his sleeves.

"I'll pick up your sister-in-law." Zhan Zhihan patted him on the shoulder, turned and walked out.

"Brother, I know you don't really want me to be with Ayu, but today is the last time. Cheng Yang doesn't want to see me, and I will try my best to convince him of my love for Ayu. I want to marry Ayu, and I will marry you." Now, I don't need your help in this matter, let alone your help, if I find out that you are sabotaging my plan behind my back, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a big brother."

Zhan Huaichun stared at the slightly thin back of the man in front of him, writing clearly.Yes, Cheng Yang knew that he deserved it for beating Ayu, and he didn't want to hide it, but the elder brother is so smart, he really wanted to help him, and he could find countless good reasons, but he slandered it in front of Cheng Yang...

"Are you blaming me for saying you have a bad temper?" Zhan Zhihan looked back at him, "I'm just telling the truth."

"But I've already changed it!" Zhan Huaichun was furious, and kicked the wall of the kang.

Zhan Zhihan was indifferent: "You call it a change? Is it a change if you only treat her well? What did I say when Mingyue came back to report? I said to find out Cheng Yang's background first, but you rushed out before I finished speaking You say, you call it a change? Second brother, let me tell you, if you continue to be so impulsive, irritable and self-righteous, you will never want to marry her in this life, you..."

"It's alright, alright, he's feeling uncomfortable, why are you poking his wound at this moment?" Shen Tang lifted the curtain and came in, holding Zhan Zhihan's arm to persuade him.As for other people, he cared about his second brother but insisted on pointing him out in the most annoying way, no wonder people didn't want to recognize him as a big brother.

Zhan Zhihan secretly lucked out, grabbed Shen Tang's hand and walked out: "Let's go, let's go home."

Shen Tang wanted to comfort Zhan Huaichun again, but her husband didn't give her a chance.

Everyone left, the surrounding quickly fell silent, Zhan Huaichun stood in the empty room blankly, his brain hurting so much that it was about to explode.

Why did Cheng Yang come back?He had a good time with Ah Yu, why did he come back!

But he is her brother, the brother she kept calling for when she was wronged and fell into a coma. She must be very happy when Cheng Yang comes back, right?
He also has an elder brother, he knows that it is good to be protected by his elder brother...

So, in the end, he should be blamed for the current situation, right?If he had admitted earlier that he liked her and made it clear to her earlier, she would not have suffered so much grievance.

Zhan Huaichun fell on the kang, covering his eyes with one hand.

"Young Master, Eldest Young Master and the others are leaving, shall we...?" Chang Jing quietly moved behind the curtain and asked in a low voice.Just now he and Ying'er were eavesdropping under the root of the house in the backyard, and he heard what the three people inside said, but Cheng Yang gave them half a day to leave.

Zhan Huaichun slowly opened his eyes, finally sat up, and said in a low voice, "Let's go too, you make arrangements, and no one will stay." Since Cheng Yang is a thousand households, it is impossible for him to live in this small village. It's useless to stay here.

Chang An rubbed his hands, and boldly asked: "Young master, what about Yinger? Will you take him back to the mansion too?" The little girl with delicate eyebrows and eyes will definitely look good when she grows up, and she has a pure and loving personality, he is a little bit reluctant. , and finally understand why my young master can't let Ayu go.

Zhan Huaichun didn't know Chang'an's extravagant thoughts, so he frowned and said, "Let her go to Cheng's house, she is in the hands of Ayu, and Ayu will take her. Also, you tell Yinger, if she can't let Ayu Leave her, and she'll be ready to go back to dental practice." You have to keep someone by her side, Pea's stupid dog doesn't like him, and he can't think of Pea's help.

Chang'an was in a hurry, and took Ying'er and asked him thousands of times.He was only sixteen, and he could afford to wait another four or five years.

Ying'er was terrified, and was about to go there when she suddenly heard a loud roar from the front yard.

"Ayu, I'm leaving first, you don't have to be afraid, just wait at home obediently, sooner or later I will marry you home! No one can stop you!"

Zhan Huaichun stood on the top of the wall, looking at the little girl in the room through the screen window, longing for her.

Ayu and Cheng Yang were having dinner, Cheng Yang was sitting east, she was sitting west, and when she looked up, she could see Zhan Huaichun on the wall outside.

The man was dressed in a blue robe, with the bright blue sky behind him.Eyes met, she saw him grinning, beckoning to her, and jumping down instead.

A Yu's tears fell all of a sudden, and she looked at the man across from her with tears in her eyes.Just now when her brother came back, she wanted to ask what they had said. Her brother smiled and said that he was hungry and wanted to eat first. Ayu couldn't bear to starve him, but now, she really couldn't help it, "Brother, don't you like it?" Him? But I like..."

"Ayu, you have grown up, you can no longer say such things easily." Cheng Yang looked away after Zhan Huaichun left, and interrupted his sister as gently as possible, "Ayu, don't worry, brother knows that Zhan Huaichun is a good person, and he will not talk about it in the future." Let's fight with him again. Ayu, my brother is going to take over in the guard, and we have to move to a new home in the county seat. My brother has a lot of things to do, so I don't have the energy to think about your marriage for the time being. And..."

He stopped on purpose, and Ah Yu couldn't help staring at him.

Cheng Yang smiled, reached out to help her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with emotion: "Besides, our brothers and sisters haven't been together for so many years, my brother is reluctant to marry you off as soon as he comes back, and wants to keep you by his side to take care of you for two or three years." But if Ah Yu is in a hurry to get married and doesn't want to live with my brother, brother..."

"No, I want to live with my brother, and I'm not in a hurry to get married!" A Yu quickly interrupted him, blushing, and feeling a little guilty in her heart, her brother was thinking about her everywhere, but she was only thinking about her relationship with Zhan Huaichun marriage.

"Really? If my brother really kept you for two or three years, wouldn't you blame my brother for not allowing you to marry?" Cheng Yang asked incredulously.

Ayu looked up at him with firm eyes: "No, I want to live with my brother." After her brother has been away for many years, she really misses him.

Cheng Yang sighed, looked out of the window and said, "It's a pity that you have grown up. My brother will keep you for a year or two at most, and if you stay longer, you will become an old girl. Don't worry, my brother will not delay you. You go ahead Live with my brother with peace of mind, and when you grow your hair long in the future, my brother will definitely let you marry someone you like."

At the beginning, Ayu was still sad for the reluctance in her brother's words, but she was overjoyed when she heard later, marrying someone she likes, could it be that her brother has no objection?
Wanting to ask, but also afraid that her brother thought she was in a hurry to get married, A Yu blushed, lowered her head to eat, and concealed the joy in her eyes.

Cheng Yang smiled and took some food for his good sister: "Eat more, the girl's parents will look better if they are fatter."

After not seeing each other for a year or two, if he chooses a few good men to show to his sister, he doesn't believe that his sister can't forget that Zhan Huaichun!
As night fell, Cheng Yang sat on the edge of the kang and told Ayu about his childhood. When Ayu fell asleep, he got up gently and went to the next door.

Except for the little maid that my sister insisted on keeping, all the servants of the Zhan family left. In the east room there were four short-haired nuns, one big, three young, and four nuns kneeling.

Cheng Yang went to interrogate the nuns first, and if what they said could match what the brothers of the Zhan family said, the uncle's family would not have to interrogate them.

There was a large charcoal pot burning in the room, and there was a red-hot soldering iron in the charcoal pot. Cheng Yang sat on the chair, leaned over to hold the handle of the soldering iron, and turned it gently: "I'm going to ask you something next, who dares to lie , or make a lot of noise, I will use this to burn all over your body." Then, he took out the iron and touched a piece of raw meat next to him.

No need to look, just the sizzling sound of the meat being roasted, mixed with a bit of the smell of burning meat, Mingrong Minghua was so frightened that he collapsed, and there was the sound of water coming from their pants.

Qing Hua was the oldest, a little calmer, but her face was pitifully pale.

Ming An was the best-dressed among them, and she was also the calmest. She lowered her head and quietly waited for the strange man to question her.

Cheng Yang got up and went to the yard, and his own staff took people out one by one.

Because what Cheng Yang wanted to ask was very clear, and none of them dared to lie, Cheng Yang finished asking within a quarter of an hour.

More questions came out of Ming An's mouth.She said that Zhan Huaichun only wanted Ayu to serve him overnight. A very common-sounding sentence not only showed that Ayu had lost his innocence, but also hinted at Zhan Huaichun's character. No matter who he came for, it was true. Gao Ming was framed.

Cheng Yangduo took a look at Ming An.In fact, he asked about the situation of every nun in his nunnery, but this man could guess that he was going to Ayu, he was really smart.It's a pity that smart people, especially people who think they are smart, don't live long.

Finally, after listening to the situation of the Zhan family that his subordinates had inquired about, Cheng Yang said lightly: "Give Cheng Yonghe's family a trick, and there is no need to do the rest, let them take care of themselves." The uncle didn't take care of them back then, but it wasn't too bad, so he Before leaving, I hand over all the family savings to my uncle, and ask him to help take care of my younger sister. Who would have expected him... Let them kill themselves, lest others say that he has become rich and forgets his relatives.

"That Ming An's heart is like a poisonous scorpion, if you keep it, there will be future troubles. The other three should be warned and let go."

"Don't worry, my lord, the subordinates will definitely get it done!"

Cheng Yang said "Yes", and walked back to his home lightly.

In the dark, my sister slept soundly, breathing deeply.

Sitting in front of the kang, Cheng Yang thought of all the suffering she had suffered for so many years, and his heart hurt more than being stabbed.

Ayu, from now on, no one can bully you again.
