Chapter 271: Subject to Others

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and ugly things spread thousands of miles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Zhang's heart was already cold to the bone, she, a mother, finally went out in person, relying on the power of the Duke of Yasukuni, and led a group of people to pull down their faces and take Cheng Xuan back from Shuyu Pavilion.

As for Bai Su, who deliberately designed to seduce her son in Zhang's eyes, she wanted to find someone to get rid of her directly, but she was worried that if Bai Su had three long and two short at the moment, it would inevitably cause public outrage, so she had to endure her anger for a while, and wait until the limelight passed before taking action.

However, in the final analysis, in this matter, the biggest victim is Cheng Xuan, who is the party.

He didn't tell Zhang that he was brought here by Cheng Jinzhi, and even later, he didn't even bother to speak out with a superfluous defense.

But he couldn't guess in his heart that this sudden change was a trap set by Cheng Jinzhi nine times out of ten.

In order to clear up his marriage with the lord of Lingrong.

To be correct, it should be to cut off the connection between the Cheng family and the King of Qi.

It's just that after speculating about the reasons for all this, for Cheng Xuan, who has always been easy-going, his first reaction was not hatred, nor resentment, but a chill in his heart.

A chill of heartache and disappointment that has been deceived by someone you trust, or even played with in the palm of your hand.

Because there were too many relatives and princes present in Shuyu Pavilion at that time, this matter was still in an uproar, and the wind was strong, so it naturally passed into the ears of the crown prince, King Qi and Emperor Zhou.

When the king of Qi heard about this, he was furious, and entered the palace in the early morning of the second day to meet Emperor Zhou and asked to cancel the marriage.

As Cheng Jinzhi said, since ancient times, daughters have the most important reputation, the royal family cares about face the most, and the lord of Lingrong County is a royal clansman, and now there is such a well-known scandal in Zhun Junma, and any father who loves his daughter will not be willing to accept this son-in-law, so as not to provoke criticism and fingering behind people's backs.

But in fact, Cheng Xuan just drank the drugged wine and fell asleep, and did not do anything wrong to Bai Su.

Everything was an illusion created by Bai Su while Cheng Xuan was unconscious.

In addition, those noble sons outside all love beauty, and they know how to pity and cherish jade the most, they will only think that Cheng Xuan has bullied other girls, and they will definitely not suspect Bai Su as a weak and elegant woman.

This is the first time that Cheng Xuan has felt this kind of powerlessness that has become the target of public criticism in front of everyone's eyes.

……………

"What the hell is going on? Xuan'er, you are saying something, are you going to kill your mother in a hurry!"

Taking advantage of Cheng Yan's absence in the mansion, the Zhang family hurriedly took Cheng Xuan back to the mansion first and placed him in his own miniature residence, so as not to go on a business trip again.

It's just that no matter how Zhang's asks, Cheng Xuan still doesn't say a word, but his face is gloomy, and he sits there motionless, like a cold stone statue, seeing Zhang's sigh and feel even more distressed, so that he blames all the grievances on Bai Su.

She knew very well that this would not end so easily.

Although Cheng Yan, the Duke of Yasukuni, is powerful and oppressive, he also has a lot of enemies outside, and there are many people in the royal family who want to secretly attack him, and there are naturally not a few people who want to make a big fuss about this matter at this moment.

In just one night, rumors similar to the Cheng family's son-in-law who relied on his father's power to be domineering, lawless, and unethical suddenly rose to the ground, which made Cheng Jinzhi, who originally only wanted to sabotage this marriage, a little unexpected, and felt like he had picked up a big bargain with a sense of guilt.

And Cheng Sujin also hurried from the Gu Mansion after learning the news, and he had accumulated a stomach full of resentment in his heart like the Zhang family.

But in addition, although the mother and daughter didn't say it, they both faintly felt that this incident was a little strange in their hearts.

After entering the humble house, Cheng Sujin first comforted the Zhang family with kind words, and then left Cheng Xuan alone in the inner room and dragged the Zhang family to the outhouse.

"Mother, you said that the eldest brother didn't return all night the day before yesterday, couldn't he stay in the Jade Pavilion?"

"I sent someone to ask, he only went to the Jade Pavilion yesterday afternoon, and it seems that there is a man with him, but he hates that no one knows who he is or where he has gone. ”

Zhang sighed solemnly, and a pair of sharp and gloomy phoenix eyes turned to Cheng Sujin's suspicious complexion.

"Although your eldest brother is fun, he is not the kind of person who is nostalgic for the dust, but now this kind of thing is happening at this juncture, it is really a coincidence, I really think about it, I feel that something is wrong,. ”

That's why my daughter thinks about it. Cheng Sujin's eyes fluttered, and he nodded and said, "If we can know where the eldest brother went before going to Shuyu Pavilion, and what is the identity of this strange man, we may be able to know the ins and outs of the whole thing." ”

"But look at your eldest brother, when he came back, he knew that he was sitting there in a daze, refusing to say a word, I had never seen him like this. Your father has always been the most face-saving, and he must have heard the rumors outside at this time, and he will definitely have to make a lot of noise when he comes back, so let's send the eldest brother to the other courtyard in the western suburbs to avoid the limelight, my mother is really a little powerless. ”

Zhang took a heavy breath, and sat down on the red sandalwood circle chair supported by Cheng Sujin, and suddenly showed a trace of exhaustion between his eyebrows, but soon disappeared into the depths of his eyes.

"Mother, I know you are sad, but since the matter has happened, we can't sit still here, we must find a way out, but we can't let the eldest brother let our Cheng family suffer this grievance in vain. ”

Cheng Sujin sat down beside Zhang's side, walked on the folds on his sleeves, and a sharp light brewed in his eyes.

"But King Qi has already proposed to His Majesty to dissolve this marriage contract, this matter is wrong with our Cheng family, what else can we do?"

Zhang frowned angrily, and his hands tightly clasped the cold and hard armrests.

"Hmph, now there may be how many people are smiling outside the outside with their mouths covered. Don't say anything else, just your Erniang and your sister, I'm afraid that I will already be happy in my heart. ”

"Mother, let's not talk about this first, I'm thinking, since this matter happened suddenly when the eldest brother got married, you say, did someone want to mess up this marriage from it, so ......"

Before, Zhang's family was exhausted by this incident, and she didn't ease up her anger, but now that she calmed down and listened to Cheng Sujin say this, she suddenly felt a tightness in her heart, as if she understood something, and turned her head to look at her sternly.

"Jin'er, did you think of something?"

Cheng Sujin tightened his cheeks when he heard this, pondered for a moment, and raised his eyes to meet Zhang's sharp and cloudy eyes.

"Looking at your expression, it seems... I guessed one or two. ”
