Chapter 43 Why is he too anxious to fry the incense

As the two of them entered the inner hall, a group of gods and the Cheng clan's sixth-grade or higher abilities swarmed out under the leadership of the head of the family, Cheng Qingxin.

Everyone had a cold face and stared at this side silently, which made Cheng Jinyang have a bad feeling that "Lin Chong strayed into the White Tiger Hall".

However, Cheng Xinnan just smiled and let go of the kid who was about to be scared to pee in his hand, and then pushed forward hard.

The two people around Cheng Qingxin quickly went out to catch him, and then quickly carried him to the back hall.

"Your Highness." Cheng Qingxin said slowly, "Your guest is coming, why don't you tell me in advance?" ”

Ha, Your Highness?

Cheng Jinyang was stunned: Which Highness?

"Tell me in advance?" Cheng Xinnan's smile remained unchanged, "That's good." I immediately asked people to go to the front door to worship the post, do you Cheng dare to accept it? ”

Cheng Qingxin didn't answer, his gaze moved down slightly, and fell on Cheng Jinyang's body.

Cheng Jinyang was keenly aware that the gaze of the head of the family looking at him was very complicated: scrutiny, jealousy, rejection, disgust, and a faint trace of strange emotions.

It seems to be ...... Guilty?

"His Royal Highness's sudden disappearance has caused a storm in the city, and I think there is a big plan behind it, but why did you choose to appear in my Shendu Cheng Clan?" Cheng Qingxin smiled faintly and waved his hand, "Take a seat!" ”

The chair placed on the side of the wall immediately moved over, and Cheng Jinyang was envious: this gravitational force is used to pretend to be ...... It's kind of amazing!

Cheng Xinnan calmly sat down on the chair, and Cheng Qingxin waved his hand again:

"Serve tea!"

So the tea bowl floated over.

Cheng Xinan shook his head: "No need." Tea is good tea, I'm afraid I won't honor the evil guests. ”

So the tea bowl floated back again.

Cheng Jinyang: ???

"Cheng Qingxin, I'm here just to ask you something." Cheng Xinnan sat on the chair, crossed his arms, and asked in a condescending tone, "Do you still recognize Uncle Cheng's father as an ancestor?" ”

As soon as these words came out, although no one spoke, the atmosphere suddenly became sinister.

Cheng Jinyang looked at everyone silently and noticed that almost everyone's expressions had changed slightly.

"Why?" Cheng Qingxin was slightly surprised.

"In the past, the king of Zhou Xuan, the great Sima Cheng uncle, retired his father, and his descendants were divided into two lineages. One vein takes Fengyi as the surname and is the Cheng family; The first line takes the official position as the surname and is the Sima family. Cheng Xinan said indifferently, "However, in the past, your brother Cheng Qinghe was expelled from the door wall by the Shendu Cheng clan for marrying Professor Xie Guyan of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and slandered his son as a 'slave', what is the reason?" ”

"The two veins come from the same source, but now they are strangers. If the relationship is slightly involved, he is afraid of avoiding it, and even does not hesitate to expel Cheng Qinghe from the door wall to 'draw a clear line'. Today, on behalf of the Sima royal family, this palace asked, what does the Shendu Cheng family mean? Is it planned to expel the Sima family from the lineage of Cheng Boxiu's father's descendants, or is it not intended to recognize Cheng Boxiu's father as an ancestor? ”

"Your Highness's words are false." Cheng Qingxin said calmly, "The Cheng family and the Sima family are of the same origin and are brothers, but they have been separated thousands of years ago. Cheng Qinghe was expelled from the door wall because he disobeyed the wishes of his family and married a commoner woman privately, rather than having anything to do with the Sima family. ”

"Good!" Cheng Xinnan laughed angrily, clapped his hands and said, "Since it was Cheng Qinghe who disobeyed the wishes of the family and got married privately, then it's no wonder you." Dare to ask what kind of marriage you originally arranged for him? ”

Cheng Qingxin was speechless for a while. The so-called "disobedience to the family" and "marriage without authorization" were originally just excuses, but the princess of the Sima family sat here and questioned him face to face, and he couldn't admit it.

He couldn't answer here, and immediately a clan elder next to him said:

"The order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can he decide for himself? Since you are born as a child of a family and enjoy family resources, you must fulfill your family obligations. Could it be that if the family doesn't arrange a marriage for him, he can choose someone to marry him at will? ”

"Good!" Cheng Xinnan sneered and tilted his head, "Dare to ask this clan elder, Cheng Qinghe is twenty-eight years old, and he is already in the seven-rank realm; In the future, the six grades are guaranteed, and the five grades are expected, which talent in your Cheng family can compare to him? With such an endowment, in an ordinary family, who would not stuff him with one wife and four concubines and vigorously reproduce the bloodline? ”

"On the contrary, it is your Cheng family, not only dragging his marriage, but also not even giving him a concubine, are you afraid that he will spread out too much and take away the position of the head of your family Cheng Qingxin!!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed color, Cheng Qingxin frowned, and said angrily:

"Your Highness is cautious!"

Cheng Jinyang watched coldly from the side, taking in everyone's reactions, and probably deduced the outline of the events of the year in his heart.

"Caution?" Cheng Xinnan said viciously, "In the past, Cheng Qinghe and his wife were expelled and retreated to Wujiang Town, and this palace was afraid of the friendship between the two clans, but did you publicly accuse you of saying a few words from the Cheng family?" ”

"On the contrary, it is your Shendu Cheng family, who ignores the situation of Cheng Qinghe and his wife. Three years ago, the demons crossed the Laoshan area and attacked Wujiang Town, did you send a single soldier to support? ”

"Cheng Qinghe and his wife passed away, and their widowed son Jinyang was trapped in an old house and suffered from heart disease, have you ever asked anything? keeps asking others to be cautious, but they contemptuously call their fellow blood compatriots 'parasitic slaves', isn't it the pickled words of your Cheng family? ”

"Your Highness!" Cheng Qingxin had calmed down, and in the face of Cheng Xinnan's accusations and ridicule, he replied in a deep voice, "Cheng Qinghe has been divided, and according to the rules of the scholar clan, the Shendu Cheng clan will not ask about him anymore, and it is not reasonable." As for his posthumous son Cheng Jinyang......"

His eyes fell on Cheng Jinyang's body: "Although the word slave is a contemptuous term, it has never come out of my mouth, and it is not the family's conclusion about him. I think it was because Cheng Qinghe refused genetic identification at the beginning, and some clansmen had doubts about it, so they speculated. ”

"So, so you're still doubting Jinyang's bloodline?" Cheng Xinnan asked coldly.

"Not bad." Cheng Qingxin replied calmly.

Well, that's not right, right? Seeing that the head of the Cheng family answered decisively, Cheng Jinyang immediately became puzzled.

The last time Cheng Yizhou had a conflict with himself in the hospital, he should have told the family elders about it after he went back. In other words, Cheng Qingxin should know that he has mastered the gravitational ability, and he is a genuine member of the Cheng family's bloodline.

How is it possible to admit that I still doubt my blood origins? Wait, is it ......

Cheng Jinyang thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized:

His father refused to do a genetic test for himself back then, and this matter spread too widely in the Shendu Cheng family, so that he was suspected that he was not from his blood, and he was contemptuously called the adopted son of a "foster slave".

Therefore, just based on Cheng Yizhou's one-sided words, he will definitely not be able to convince the public. If Cheng Qingxin claims in public that he "doesn't doubt it at all", then he will see a ghost.

On the other hand, the real motive that prevents the family from accepting itself is definitely not a matter of blood affiliation; 's father is the real bloodline of the Cheng family, how can you say that you will be expelled from the family?

The real reason must be the royal background of the jealous mother!

Therefore, Sister Xinnan deliberately used the reason of forgetting her ancestors to squeeze the head of the family, forcing him to admit that "the Cheng family and the Sima family are from the same origin", so that her mother's royal background cannot implicate herself on the surface.

Then the only obstacle to returning to the family is whether he, as a child of a poor family, really has enough "gravitational" bloodline concentration.

Thinking like this, I heard Cheng Xinnan say loudly:

"Good! Since this is the case, as long as his bloodline is proven, this matter will be clarified and confirmed, and no one from the Cheng clan will be allowed to slander themselves in the future, right? ”

"Not bad!" Cheng Qingxin also showed a solemn look, "But if he can't prove it, he will never set foot in the Shendu Cheng clan in the future, or have any relationship with the Cheng clan, how about it?" ”

The last word "how", but he looked at Cheng Jinyang and asked.

Cheng Jinyang smiled slightly, and calmly responded:

"Good!"
