The coldness of the northern moat intensified in the evening, and the mud added carbon to the dying pot to prevent it from being extinguished.

Miss Wen Jiang was talking to her mother Cheng, Cheng came over after eating, she heard that Wen Jiang hadn't eaten well in the past few days, so she came over to inquire about the situation.

Cheng's mood is obviously not very good, Yan Ni can feel it, so she carefully tries not to let Cheng's attention to herself, saving her from being angry with herself, because she has never been too good to her subordinates, which is not a secret in the City Lord's Mansion.

The mother and daughter casually said a few homely words, and Cheng suddenly looked at the wild goose mud on the side, "There is enough carbon, if you don't open the window, do you want to poison us?" ”

"I'm sorry, ma'am." Yanni replied in horror and hurriedly went to open the window. She secretly blamed herself in her heart, why was she so careless.

"No wonder Miss is uncomfortable, it's all caused by you careless subordinates." Cheng reprimanded, and Yan Ni hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright.

"Mother, I'm just not too hungry, it has nothing to do with her, Yanni is very good at taking care of people." Wen Jiang whispered on the side.

Cheng Shi glanced at Wen Jiang angrily, and then said to Yan Ni, "Don't thank your master, if she hadn't spoken for you, see how I punish you!" ”

"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Madame, Yan Ni knows that she is wrong." Yan Ni replied gratefully.

"I'm going to wait outside, I'm going to say a few words to Miss alone."

Yan Ni hurriedly withdrew.

"Wait!"

Cheng suddenly walked to Yan Ni's side, grabbed the jade pendant on her waist and took it down, picked it up and looked at it seriously, and wondered, "Why is this jade pendant in your hand, say." ”

Yan Ni was already timid, but he was obviously stunned by Cheng's sudden attack, his eyes widened and he looked at the jade pendant, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"What, forgot? Then let me remind you, this is the master's personal ornament! Come to think of it! Cheng said with a frosty face. Tell me how it got to you! ”

Cheng's words seemed to be carrying a knife, loudly persecuting Yan Ni, making Yan Ni tremble, and after a while, she whispered, "Hui, Hui Madame's words, this, this is... ”

"What is this", Cheng interrupted Yan Ni's words eagerly, "Could it be that this is given to you by the master?" ”

Yan Ni shook her head like a rattle and replied, "No, it wasn't given to me by the master." ”

"You stole it from our room?"

"No, ma'am, this is what Young Master Hongyi gave me." Yan Ni knelt down and said in horror.

"Gao Hongyi gave it to you, how did he get the master's personal accessories?" Cheng asked in disbelief.

"Mother, this is my father's reward to Brother Yi, I heard that he took the first name when he was hunting." Gao Wenjiang said without being salty, and at the same time walked over and told Yan Ni to go down first.

"Ah, who did you listen to?" Cheng asked in surprise. She didn't seem to know anything about it, but it wasn't surprising, after all, she had been stuffy in her room for the past two days.

"Everyone knows, I heard that after my father came back, he was promoted to Brother Yi's official and handed over the Tiger Killing Camp to Brother Yi to command!"

"What, your father even wants to promote him!" Cheng was both surprised and angry, and she was about to walk out as she spoke.

"Mother, where are you going?" Gao Wenjiang shouted from behind.

Cheng did not answer his daughter Gao Wenjiang's words, but walked away quickly.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Gao Yuanhe went back to the room to rest tiredly, at that time Cheng was sitting on the chair in a daze, her eyes were blank, and she didn't seem to notice Gao Yuanhe coming back.

"Madam, why don't you sleep at such a late hour!"

Gao Yuanhe hung the damp coat on the shelf, and then walked up to Cheng's and found that her eyes were full of anger. hurriedly comforted: "Or is it for Xing'er's business?" ”

He sighed, "I know that you are bitter in your heart, Xing'er is also my child, and I am not happy to send him over as a hostage." But what can we do, we are now under the eaves of others, we can't help but bow our heads, you understand? ”

"I understand," Cheng's voice was unusually cold. "Today, though, I want to say something else."

Gao Yuanhe was a little surprised, Mrs. only had her son Wen Xing in her heart these days, and she didn't even ask about Ma Tangfeng's proposal to her daughter Wen Jiang, what else could distract her.

"What's the matter?" Gao Yuanhe patiently walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, he was so tired these days, he wanted to sleep well.

However, Cheng obviously didn't care about this, and she said angrily: "When are you going to drive that adopted son away." ”

"What did you say?" Gao Yuanhe seemed to have heard it wrong.

"It's that Gao Hongyi, when are you going to drive him away." Cheng said it again.

Gao Yuanhe confirmed that he heard clearly, and he walked up to Cheng and sat down.

"Madame, why did you say this, it was Yi'er who made you angry?"

"He didn't mess with me, but you provoked me, I don't understand, why are you so good to that adopted son, you not only let him inspect the cities of the North Protector like a son-in-law, but also promoted him one after another, and let him lead your most important tiger killing camp, is it that in a few days you will pass on the Twelve Cities of the North Protector to him. Do you know that our Xing'er is going to Yunzhong Mansion as a hostage for your so-called general, you treat that adopted son like this, are you worthy of Xing'er? Do you still have our mother and son in your eyes? Cheng said bitterly.

"Who told you that?" Gao Yuanhe asked.

"Wen Jiang told me personally." Cheng said coldly.

"Wen Jiang? A daughter's home, she knows what. Gao Yuanhe was a little unhappy, about the promotion of Gao Hongyi, he was afraid that Cheng would be angry and deliberately concealed it from her, but he didn't expect to let her know, and it was his daughter who said it, she still didn't think she had enough troubles?

She knew that Xing'er was the eldest son of the Gao family, she knew that the adopted son was always an outsider, she knew who she should be close to and who she should stay away from! And you forgot! ”

Gao Yuanhe suppressed his anger and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, he thought that his wife had become a little insane because of his son Gao Wenxing's going to be a hostage, and he didn't want to argue with Cheng at this time.

But Cheng thought that Gao Yuanhe's heart was weak, so he intensified it even more, "If my daughter doesn't tell me, are you still going to hide it from me all the time, you treat me like this for the wild seed that I don't know where to pick it up, is your heart taken away by the most ruthless wild dog on the Beihu Plateau?" Cheng sneered.

"Poisonous woman! Shut up! Gao Yuanhe was furious, he couldn't hold back any longer, and almost roared out all the anger that had been accumulated in his heart these days, and the loud voice scared away the birds lying in front of the window watching the excitement.

"Gao Hongyi is my son, not a wild species! Also, in the future, don't talk so unruly nonsense in front of me, don't think that relying on your mother's family of the southwest tyrant to support you, I will put up with you everywhere! This is the Gao family, and I am the head of the family! Gao Yuan slammed the door out of the door amicably.

Cheng looked at the back of her husband leaving in a daze, stunned in place. She didn't expect her husband, who has always been gentle to her, to be so angry, just for that adopted son!

"Your father must have been bewitched by Gao Hongyi! Definitely! Cheng said to himself, "Xing'er, don't worry, my mother will never let him steal your family business, absolutely not!" ”
