The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 111
Mrs. Cheng was uncomfortable for the past two or three days, and she didn't go near the old lady, she just recuperated in her own room, her sister never left, and came to talk to her from time to time to relieve her boredom.The second master of Cheng's family was still thinking about Xiaodie, he couldn't come by himself, so he sent his maid who was waiting by his side to deliver fresh fruits and vegetables.Seeing that her brother-in-law treated her sister very well, Mrs. Cheng gradually felt relieved and put aside all the things her husband mentioned that day.

Who would have thought that the sun would be shining this day, and Madam Cheng finished her lunch and was about to take a nap, Xiaodie knew her sister's temper, so she rushed to retreat, but just as she was about to get up, the maid outside hurried in: "Madam, Master is coming to the backyard."

Mrs. Cheng scolded with a smile: "Look, you're panicking. Is it a new thing for our master to enter the backyard?"

"Ma'am, that's not what I mean." The servant girl said urgently, "Master's complexion is not good. It seems that something serious has happened. Aunt Qiao just stopped Master from going to her yard on the way, but Master kicked Aunt Qiao on the heart. Seeing that something is wrong, the servant hurried back to report."

Xiaodie was so frightened that she couldn't help herself, she just pulled Mrs. Cheng: "Sister, don't you?"

At this moment, Mrs. Cheng's face is like gold paper, and she has lost her seven souls and six souls. However, she has experienced many storms, so she suppressed her fear to appease Xiaodie: "You follow the servant girl out through the back door, and you must find the second master."

As soon as Xiaodie left, Cheng Zimo had already entered the main room.Seeing this, the maids and women serving in the house bit their fingers and stuck out their tongues, and hurriedly withdrew.Cheng Zimo panted and sat upright on the chair, his face full of anger.Mrs. Cheng hurriedly put on a gentle and careful look, and whispered softly: "What's the matter, master? It's just that there are unsolved cases in the yamen, just take your time, the body belongs to you, if you I'm so angry, what can we do as a family!"

Cheng Zimo looked at his wife coldly, and suddenly let out a sneer: "Ma'am, what a means! I thought that although you cared about your mother's family, you were not a person who didn't know what to do. But now it seems that you are not only ignorant, but also a fool." Incomparable stuff!"

Mrs. Cheng's face turned pale: "The master thinks of me as those concubines and aunts! Don't forget, I'm from my natal family."

Cheng Zimo pointed at the other party, and said in a low voice: "If it weren't for your relationship with the Kaiping Palace, how long would you think I would tolerate you?" Cheng Zimo slapped the silver ticket in his arms on the table: "Look at what you are doing!" What good thing? Instigated the doctor to cheat Miss Xing's family, you are too courageous. Our family has never had such a dirty thing. Since our ancestors, we have always been lenient. You have been lazy in housework for a year, and you have seized the power, resulting in such a catastrophe of sudden death. If outsiders know, what will be the face of the ancestors!"

Mrs. Cheng had already guessed that the matter would be exposed when she saw the bank note, but she didn't expect that the master would be so angry.

Mrs. Cheng was aggrieved and cried: "I only have that one younger sister. Now that my mother is dead and my father is remarried, I intended to ask the old concubine to take care of her more, but after a few years, the master also offended the prince thoroughly. I How can I marry again? Now that my brother-in-law and my sister are in love, I can forget about half of the difficult things in my heart, but the master hastily asked Xiaodie to step aside. How can I talk to that child!"

Cheng Zimo's eyes were red, and when he saw a pastel teacup on the table, he raised his hand and slammed it on the ground.The women and maids who were standing against the corner outside were terrified.

"Even if you don't want to, you just tell me! Why do you have to make trouble with the Xing family! Do you know what kind of disaster you have caused! You deliberately want to kill me and my son!"

Mrs. Cheng has only one son, and she loves her like a treasure. After hearing her husband's words, she couldn't help being horrified: "Master, don't scare me!"

Cheng Zimo's eyes were complicated: "Do you know who sent this bank note? It's the Zhenfu Division! Who is the Zhenfu Division?"

Of course, Madam Cheng knew that although the Zhenfu Division belonged to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it only obeyed the emperor's orders.

Cheng Zimo said angrily: "Don't you understand! The emperor wanted to protect the Xing family, but you knowingly committed the crime and deliberately made things difficult for the Xing family. How do you tell me to meet the emperor again in the future? The Zhenfu Department has always been vicious in its work, and they took me for a while. Way, don’t I have a weakness?”

Although the aunts of the Cheng family had many concubines, none of them had any children. Only Mrs. Cheng had a son.Because of this, the old lady of the Cheng family secretly suspected that it was Mrs. Cheng who made the Cheng family weak.Precisely because there are few children, the children of the couple are the weakness of Master Shangshu.

Mrs. Cheng forced a smile and said: "No way, the master is a celebrity around the emperor anyway, even if the emperor is angry about this, it won't make things difficult for us Hui'er. Besides, the matter didn't work out in the end! I just wanted to Calling the girl of the Xing family to make a fool of herself is more or less an act of anger, compared to explaining the reason, the Xing family will not blame me too much for the sake of the master!"

Cheng Zimo didn't know whether to scold the woman for being stupid, or lament the pampered life for many years, and made the inner house become his own pain.He thought of the cold face of Song Qianhu, the Governor of Zhenfu, when he came to give him a bank note. Cheng Zimo felt cold in his heart. In the past few years since he was named Shangshu, has he been ridiculed like this?Even Song Lian, the elder who assisted the three dynasties, was not polite when he saw him?

Zhen Fusi!
Could it be that the emperor was dissatisfied with the competition between himself and Song Lian for the position of a bachelor, that's why he called Zhen Fusi to come to the house instead of others?

Poor Cheng Zimo couldn't figure out the reason for thinking about it, Xiaodie had already found Cheng Zixuan over there.As soon as Cheng Zixuan entered the main room, he saw his sister-in-law snuggled up on the couch sobbing, and his elder brother with his hands behind his back full of impatience.

Cheng Zixuan's heart was awe-inspiring, he grabbed Xiaodie and walked towards the two of them: "Brother, no matter what you say, I will never marry any woman in my life except Xiaodie. Big brother has failed his sister-in-law, so should I? Fluttershy can't?"

It's fine if he doesn't say this, but when Cheng Zixuan mentioned this, Lord Shangshu became even more annoyed: "Okay, I'm wholeheartedly for you, it's fine if you don't appreciate it, but blame me instead. Well, from now on I will If I don't persuade you with a few good words, I won't be a sinner of the Cheng family. I'll just pluck off these troublesome temple hairs and find a clean place for myself, so as not to humiliate my ancestors and implicate my descendants!"

Seeing that his brother was really annoyed, Cheng Zixuan secretly regretted his recklessness just now, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Xiao Die choked up and said: "Brother-in-law, don't make things difficult for my sister and brother Zixuan. In the final analysis, this is all my fault. I will twist my hair and go to the Xing family to apologize tomorrow morning. Let alone my hair, I will pay for it." For the rest of my life, I will not blink an eye."

"Xiaodie!" Cheng Zixuan felt distressed and annoyed, and couldn't help blaming Xing Xiuyan for all the root causes.Cheng Zixuan hugged Xiaodie angrily: "What does it have to do with you? I don't think the Xing family dares to argue! A good girl is not at home to learn female red embroidery and spinning, but to win other people's husbands. Such a woman has a femme heart, even if she is an emperor. Give the marriage personally, and I want it too."

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Zimo had already slapped his younger brother across the face: "Come on, come on, bring a big stick and rope! Hit me to death!"

Cheng Zimo's servants who were waiting outside rushed in and saw that the master was really angry, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and grab the second master.

Seeing that the board was about to fall, Mrs. Cheng had knelt on the ground and hugged Cheng Shangshu's thigh: "Master, why bother beating him! Although the second master is my uncle, but I have seen him growing up since I was a child. His own son is not bad. This has nothing to do with him. If you want his life, don’t you also want the life of the old lady and the life of the concubine! One person does things and one person is responsible. I almost harmed Miss Xing. Now ask me to give it to you. Miss Xing's family, pay for your life!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Cheng let go of her hand and slammed into the pillar on the right.

Xiaodie had taken precautions and hurried to stop her, but she was still half a beat too late.

There was a loud noise, and Mrs. Cheng collapsed to the ground along the pillar.

There was a sudden chaos in the house, and Mrs. Cheng's housewife hurried in outside. Xiaodie hugged her bleeding sister and stared at Cheng Shangshu with almost hatred eyes. Cheng Zixuan had thrown off the restraints on him The boys stood in front of his sister-in-law, gnashing their teeth and looking directly at his brother.

Cheng Zimo's heart was in a mess, and he floated out of the backyard.Several of his staff members did not dare to speak, and only cautiously followed behind.

"My lord, it's not an option for us to think wildly here, how about we go into the palace to find out what the emperor has said?" One of them came up with an idea, and someone immediately objected: "That's not right, we can't hide at this moment."

"My lord, it's okay to enter the palace according to the meaning of the humble position. First, you can talk about it, and second, you can show your loyalty in advance."

Cheng Zimo heaved a long sigh: "Hey, I'm afraid that because of the matter in the inner house, the young master of the Xing family will dislike me. Let's hurry up and get disgusted."

When the staff heard what Lord Shangshu meant, do they still plan to change course?
Mr. Wu, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said: "Your Excellency, you must not have such thoughts. There is no one among the princes who can stand up to you. Although this little prince is young and intelligent, but fortunately, his status does not make sense. This is our If you help him, why don't you help us? If this young master gives up our help for such a trivial matter, it can be seen that this son's future is limited! It will not be too late to give up."

Cheng Zimo nodded, and immediately ordered his horses to go to the palace.

At this moment, Xiaozong was listening to the music at Xinna's Concubine An, when Dai Quan suddenly came to report that Mr. Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, asked to see him outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.An Pin paused with her fingertips, and her slender fingers were hanging in the air, her rose-like face was full of mourning: "Your Majesty promised to listen to the three songs of plum blossoms played by my concubine, so I only played Xishan Yeyue, and I didn't even play the song. There are nine paragraphs!"

Anpin's angry appearance made any man feel terrified, but it's a pity that Xiaozong is not the kind of beauty who misleads the country.An Concubine's coquettish sharing did not win Xiaozong's favor, but in return for a burst of cold light.

An Pin's mind was delicate, and she sensed the emperor's dissatisfaction as soon as she finished speaking.She knelt down and pleaded guilty, Xiaozong said coldly: "Dai Quan, tell the Empress that Concubine An doesn't obey the rules, first send her to Yongxiang to live in peace for a few days, and then let her out when she has figured it out."

Yongxiang is a cold palace, few women who went in came out safely.

Dai Quan looked at the shivering Concubine An, and sighed in his heart: Poor Empress Empress for her good chess skills!
