Chapter Eighty-Seven: So Ruthless
It's almost half a year since he entered Beijing, and Master Cheng feels that life is like a dream.
The future is up and down, and the family affairs are also shocked, he was once tied to the Yushitai, but he was released respectfully and safely, he once saw that the industrial documents with a monthly income belonged to him, but he changed his name in a blink of an eye.
It's like this house.
Second Master Cheng raised his head and looked around, this was still a spacious house, but it was no longer where he lived, and it was occupied by Master Cheng a few days ago.
“…… The old man said that he wanted to buy these ......"
“…… The eldest lord said that he wanted to remove these, and it was too luxurious. ”
The servants who came in and out from time to time came to talk, and the words revealed that the owner of this house was Master Cheng, as if he was in Jiangzhou.
It's the same as in Jiangzhou!
Second Master Cheng was indignant, and there was a bustle outside the door.
"Master, shopkeeper Wu is here." The two little guys shouted.
Wu shopkeeper!
"Please."
The laughter of Master Cheng came from inside, and as he spoke, the shopkeeper Wu outside the door swaggered in under the support of two people.
At the beginning of April, the shopkeeper Wu came to report the account books.
Books! Profit!
Second Master Cheng clenched his hands again.
It should have been himself who was sitting in the house today.
The second lady of the side courtyard was lying with a towel on her head, and when she heard that the shopkeeper Wu came to report the account, she immediately cried again.
"Sir, my money ......"
"What are you crying about, if he doesn't leave and moves the whole family to the capital, then you and I will cry." Second Master Cheng said angrily.
He got his hands on the. Surely it will not let go easily. Second Mrs. Cheng said.
"Ma'am. Banqin also came. "A servant woman came in and said." The eldest lord handed over the account book directly to her. ”
Second Mrs. Cheng looked at me right.
"He's just hooking them up."
While he was talking, a servant woman came in in a hurry outside the door.
"Old lady, someone from the palace has arrived." She shouted.
In the palace?
Second Master Cheng and Second Mrs. Cheng looked at them in surprise.
"The Queen Mother wants to summon the second lady." The servant woman said.
Second Mrs. Cheng sat up suddenly, and the towel on her head fell off.
"The Queen Mother wants to see me!"
"The Queen Mother wants to see Second Mrs. Cheng?"
At this time, Master Cheng, who was the master of the Cheng family, naturally saw the attendant who came to summon him, and was also surprised when he heard the intention.
"Yes, sir, please ask the second lady to prepare." The chamberlain said with a smile.
Master Cheng responded. While inviting the waiter to sit down, he hesitated.
"My lord, I don't know what is going on?" He asked in a low voice.
The chamberlain raised his eyebrows.
How can such a thing be asked? What's the matter with the mother, how do we know as slaves. He said lightly.
Master Cheng was busy making amends, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
Just as he was turning to retreat, the chamberlain coughed lightly.
"But it's a happy event." He seemed to say unintentionally, "So let Second Mrs. Cheng wear it more festively." ”
Wedding!
Master Cheng's heart beat like a drum, and he retreated again and again.
In the back hall, the shopkeeper Wu and the maidservant were all there, with a heavy expression.
"This, does the lady know?" Master Cheng asked in a low voice.
The maidservant shook her head.
"I don't know anything about it." She said.
"How's that good?" Master Cheng asked in a low voice.
The Queen Mother doesn't like Cheng Jianniang. A happy event brought to you by someone who doesn't like you will definitely make the other person happy but never something you like.
"I'll tell the lady." The handmaiden hurried away. turned around and stopped, "In short, the Queen Mother doesn't like the lady, and the second lady doesn't like the lady, so you must not let these two people who don't like the lady do the lady's business." ”
Seeing the maid hurrying away, Master Cheng looked solemn.
Yes, that's right, the second lady must not be allowed to enter the palace.
But how to do this?
He turned his head to look outside, the waiter couldn't wait long, and turned his head to look inside, as if he had heard the happy voice of the second lady.
Persuade?
When the second master entered Beijing, he persuaded him to work so hard, but what was the result?
Master Cheng was short of breath.
She must not be allowed to enter the palace! Never!
"Someone!" Master Cheng put down his hand and said in a low voice.
A servant woman approached and bowed her head in response.
"Master, please command."
The second master of the side yard paced back and forth excitedly.
I just said that this day is like a dream! Surprised!
"Master, what should I say when the Queen Mother sees me?"
Second Mrs. Cheng was so excited that she was about to faint in a panic.
"You don't have to think about it." Second Master Cheng took a deep breath, stabilized his mind and said, "What you have to do is to say whatever the Queen Mother says, you should do." ”
Second Mrs. Cheng was still trembling.
She grew so big, she never thought that she would be able to see the Queen Mother one day.
"The Queen Mother must have seen you because of this stupidity." Second Master Cheng said, the more excited he was, the more sober he became.
These days in Beijing, whether good or bad, are all related to this fool.
"This time, whether we can turn over and live well depends on the Queen Mother." He said with a heavy expression.
Second Mrs. Cheng became even more nervous when she heard this.
"You think about your money!" Second Master Cheng raised his eyebrows and said.
My money!
The money that was cheated away by that!
Second Mrs. Cheng nodded immediately and stabilized her figure.
"Someone change their clothes." She said.
Outside the door, a woman hurried in, and was changing lively, and someone came in a hurry.
"Oh, second lady, the eldest master asked me to serve." She said.
Second Master Cheng and Second Mrs. Cheng looked at this woman and were stunned.
This woman is the messenger of Master Cheng, and she also took over the second lady to take charge of the family.
Why did you come here with a smile on your face at this time?
"The master asked." The woman said, looking left and right, and lowered her voice. The man from the palace said. It was a happy occasion to summon Madame. ”
Wedding!
Second Master Cheng was a little clear. A little disdainful.
I see, so is the eldest master in a hurry to come and be happy now?
It's late! The face has been torn, and it is useless to please again.
Second Master Cheng sneered.
"Second lady, this happy event should be more festive." The woman continued.
Second Mrs. Cheng glanced at Second Master Cheng, and Second Master Cheng nodded.
"Quick, get the gold thread." Second Mrs. Cheng said busily.
The women and girls in the house were busy.
The woman also wanted to help, but Second Mrs. Cheng naturally wouldn't give her a good face, and the woman didn't care. He smiled and flattered him.
After putting on her clothes and looking at the simple jewelry on her head, in the end, the whole person was shabby, and Mrs. Cheng was even more hateful in her heart.
Her money, her jewelry!
"Let's go." She said, turning and walking courageously.
The crowd rushed out, and the woman naturally followed, as if she was rushing to come close to serve, and crowded among the people, causing chaos in front of the door.
"Oh, you go away."
A woman said impatiently and angrily. Shove the woman hard.
The woman fell forward with a whoop and hit Mrs. Cheng Er, who was going down the steps.
With a scream. Mrs. Cheng was knocked down and fell.
"Oops, ma'am!"
Looking at the second lady Cheng who fell to the ground, and at the servants who were in a mess to be helped, the woman took a deep breath, squinted her eyes, stomped her foot and raised her arm fiercely and pounced.
A scream pierced the sky over the courtyard.
The waiter sitting in the hall in the front yard couldn't help shaking his hand holding the tea, and looked up in some surprise.
"What sound?" He asked.
The butler waiting outside the door hurriedly came in, looking around blankly.
"No, there's no sound." He said.
No sound?
The waiter frowned and put down the tea bowl.
"It's not too early, the Queen Mother is still waiting, so please ask the second lady to hurry up." He said.
Before the words fell, Master Cheng hurriedly came in from outside, with a panicked face.
"My lord, my lord, it's not good." He said.
*******************************************************
"What?"
In the palace, the Queen Mother looked at the visitor in disbelief.
"The second lady of the Cheng family broke her leg?"
The chamberlain nodded, wiping the sweat from his face.
"When did it break?" The concubine frowned and asked.
The chamberlain bowed his head.
"That's it, just now." He whispered.
Just?
The concubine was surprised, and then smiled again.
"What a coincidence, not sooner or later, but the Queen Mother summoned her, and she broke her leg?" She laughed.
The Queen Mother's face also sank.
That's right, it's a coincidence.
"The second lady was so happy, but when she went out, she accidentally tripped and fell, and the servants scrambled to help, but instead fell and fell on the second lady, smashing the second lady's calf." The chamberlain said.
Is that so?
It sounds reasonable, those women who have never seen the world enter the palace to see the nobles, and naturally panic, but this incident still makes people feel a little strange.
The Queen Mother frowned.
"That's just right." The concubine smiled faintly, "I injured my leg and brought it into the palace for the imperial doctor to see." ”
The Queen Mother nodded.
"She hurt her leg, not her mouth, so she was specially given to sit on a soft couch and enter the palace." She said with an eyebrow raised.
The chamberlain hesitated and looked up.
"Niangniang, that Master Cheng said that he was ashamed to hurt his legs and didn't dare to stain his mother's eyes, and his uncle and aunt are like parents, although the second lady was injured, but Cheng Niangzi's uncle was in the capital, since the Queen Mother was going to say something about Cheng Niangzi, so I don't know if I could let her aunt come." He said.
Aunt?
The Queen Mother frowned slightly.
This Second Mrs. Cheng is a stepfamily, if you really want to talk about relatives, it is indeed not as confident as this Cheng Niang's aunt.
"No matter who they come, the mourning family has said what they have to say, and it is enough for them to listen." The Queen Mother said.
The inner attendant hurriedly retreated, so that the concubine who wanted to say something didn't have time to open her mouth.
Forget it, no matter what tricks Cheng Niangzi plays, anyway, as long as the Queen Mother makes up her mind, the matter will be settled.
The concubine withdrew her hand and sat upright.
*****************************************************
"What? Let me go? ”
Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou said in horror, shaking her head busily.
"No, no, no, I'm not going."
She must not get involved in that foolish thing.
"If you don't go, you have to go!" Master Zhou raised his eyebrows and shouted.
Mrs. Zhou was tearful and timid.
"Master, the people in the palace are urging you." The attendant outside the door said hurriedly.
"Go quickly, it's not like you haven't seen the Queen Mother, what are you afraid of!" Master Zhou said again.
Was it the same as it is now? I didn't see the Queen Mother for that fool before.
"Don't you go, do you want to let Jiaojiaoer go? You're here to be delicate. Master Zhou said again.
Yes, it's for her, if you don't go, wouldn't you offend her?
Mrs. Zhou took a deep breath.
If you offend that fool, you can't know what will happen.
"And."
Master Zhou stopped her again.
"What did you say when you saw the Queen Mother, you know?"
Mrs. Zhou's body stiffened.
Because the woman of the Cheng family didn't know how to say it, or what she would say wrong, she was simply broken by Master Cheng's leg when she went out.
Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Sure enough, it was not the Cheng family, she didn't understand how this Cheng Jiaoniang could be so fierce before, but now she finally knows, it turns out that it is because of the blood and blood of the Cheng family.
It's so ruthless!
"It's so ruthless! Eldest brother! You're so ruthless! ”
A wail came from the courtyard.
The door was also clanged, but the sturdy gate of the good house did not disperse.
"Open the door! Open the door! ”
Second Master Cheng shouted hatefully.
No one answered the door.
"Cheng Huai! How dare you hurt your brother and sister! ”
Cheng Er nominated and scolded.
He's going crazy and stupid.
He never dreamed that Master Cheng would do such a thing!
Oh my God, my God, what kind of heart is this to do such a thing!
It was so alive that people deliberately broke their younger siblings' legs!
"Stop shouting."
Master Cheng's voice sounded faintly outside the door.
"Cheng Huai!"
Cheng Er threw himself on the side of the door and slammed the door.
"You're so daring! How dare you hurt your brother and sister! Are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? ”
The sound outside the door was still faint.
"Cheng Dong, you don't care about your wife now, you should pray now that no one comes to you, otherwise ......"
Second Master Cheng stiffened on the door, shivered unconsciously, and heard the sound outside the door drifting in through the crack in the door.
“…… Otherwise, your leg will be broken......" (To be continued......
