Chapter 446: Master Zeng is in charge
"You kid, you really should let your aunt take care of it, it's too indulgent to you on weekdays, Tang Chu is a guest of our family, you have to call your cousin, it's just a flower, what are you struggling with here?" Master Zeng persuaded.
His kind face did not make Miss Zeng Er angry, but even more angry.
If Tang Chu destroyed her flowers and annoyed her, then Master Zeng's attitude now makes her even more uncomfortable, obviously she is his biological daughter, Tang Chu is just a niece, and it goes without saying whether the blood relationship is far or closer, but the father's attitude is clearly to protect Tang Chu!
Second Miss Zeng left Master Zeng's arms and stood up, "Hmph! If you don't care, Daddy, I'll report to the official, the mandala flower is worth a lot of money, and it is definitely enough for the government to hear this case, I want to see who is embarrassed at that time! ”
Hearing that he was going to report to the official, Master Zeng was also angry. "Why are you so disobedient, it seems that your aunt is really used to you, I should have sent you to Mrs. to learn the rules if I knew it, so sober and sober!"
Miss Zeng Er was not frightened, but said with self-pity, "I know that my father doesn't love me at all, otherwise my daughter will not help me if she is wronged!" Obviously, the daughter is justified! ”
Master Zeng's heart softened a little, and he said, "Then I will accompany you and ask your cousin to apologize to you, but there is no need for compensation, after all, we are all relatives." After that flower, Daddy will buy you another one, and then give you the jade vase in the warehouse that you have been yelling for, and this matter will be gone! ”
Rolling her eyes, Second Miss Zeng originally wanted to extort a few more points, but seeing that Master Zeng's gaze was no longer the same as before, she said reluctantly, "Okay, then I will suffer some grievances for the sake of my father!" ”
Master Zeng touched her head lovingly and expressed his approval.
Miss Zeng Er pouted out of her father's sight.
Master Zeng didn't take this matter seriously at all, but the second daughter cried, and he couldn't take it as if he didn't know, otherwise how to be the head of the family.
Soon, the two of them came to the garden.
Master Zeng walked towards Tang Chu, "Ahem! What's going on? ”
Tang Chu watched Miss Zeng Er come over holding her uncle's arm, and her smug expression was clearly like finding a backer.
"Uncle!" Tang Chu didn't seem to be able to see Miss Zeng's small movements, and said to Master Zeng.
The other two young ladies also immediately called out to their father, and their tone was not as intimate as Miss Zeng Er, but a little timid.
Tang Chu said with a smile, "Uncle, Tang Chu was led by the maid in the mansion to wander in the garden, but who knows, but my cousin mistakenly thought that I had destroyed her cherished flowers. ”
Tang Chu said things in the most concise language, uh, uh, uh, probably.
"So, do you have any proof that your cousin did it?" Master Zeng asked Miss Zeng Er.
Second Miss Zeng immediately asked the maid who had just led Tang Chu in to stand up, "Say, tell your father what you said when I was there just now, and see if I have wronged some people!" ”
The maid blinked, saw that Master Zeng was coming, and hurriedly remembered what the mother-in-law beside Mrs. told her that she must not be exposed, otherwise their family would be driven out of the house by Mrs.
"Master, what the slave saw was that Miss Cousin broke the words of the second lady, and threatened me not to say it, what the slave said was the truth!" The maid was originally kneeling, and at this time she hurriedly explained, seeing that Master Zeng seemed to be a little disbelieving, and gradually kowtowed, and there were clearly visible bruises on her forehead.
"Daddy, look at her like this, how can she tell a lie?" Miss Zeng Er was very unhappy, she had already said it just now, why did she still not believe what she said after she came, would she still be able to deceive people.
"You're talking nonsense, it's just the flowers that other people broke up, just in time for our young lady to catch up, this maid is lying!" Shuangxi is in a hurry, there are people from the Zeng family inside and outside this garden, only their master and servant are alone, but it's easy for people to bully!
"Tang Chu, this matter is already obvious, there is no need for us to investigate, otherwise it will not be a good thing to lose the face of the Tang family in the end."
"In this way, I will be the master, you apologize to this girl, you don't need to compensate anything, and this matter will be over!" When Master Zeng heard the testimony of the maid, he had already begun to confirm that this matter was clear, and there was almost nothing to inquire about.
He also felt that he and his second daughter were magnanimous people, but he didn't see that Tang Chu's eyes had begun to condense the storm.
"I heard that my mother has also come home many times after marrying my father, but it is seen by some people to be playing the autumn wind, in a gathering of Yunzhou noblewomen, there is a person whose bracelet is lost, all the evidence points to the mother, at that time the aunt slapped the mother without saying a word, but later found that the mother's bracelet was engraved with words, she did not take it at all, and the lady who lost the jade bracelet was quickly found in the grass."
Tang Chu seemed to be saying something she didn't want to do, but her eyes were not like this, it seemed that a raging fire had accumulated and could burn away all darkness.
Before Master Zeng could reply, Tang Chu began to say again, "How similar is this scene now to the beginning!" ”
This sentence seemed to be a slap on Master Zeng's face, his face was red, and his eyes were wide, but when he saw Tang Chu's demeanor that was very similar to his sister, he seemed to have lost the strength to fight back.
Seeing this situation, the second lady of the Zeng family suddenly felt that it was not in her favor, her father suddenly fell silent, the two younger sisters were silent, and the maid trembled, and stopped talking after finishing her testimony.
That's not a good situation! Second Miss Zeng immediately stepped forward and pulled Master Zeng's sleeve.
was disturbed to reminisce, Master Zeng was very annoyed, and when he saw his second daughter looking at him pitifully, his heart began to soften again.
"Tang Chu, this matter is different from the beginning, this time the evidence is conclusive, you don't have to argue, today you are a guest, my uncle is very happy, but when such a thing happens, my uncle can only prevent this matter from spreading, so as not to affect your reputation." Master Zeng had a tone of concern for Tang Chu.
Tang Chu laughed out loud for the first time, and said, "Uncle, don't you feel that you have a conscience when you say this, is it really nothing to check, or it doesn't matter, you don't want to check, you should know it very well in your heart!" ”
Her words seemed to be like a thorn, piercing deep into the heart of Master Zeng, looking at Tang Chu like this, he couldn't help but think of the sister who died early, and after getting married, she was also so unruly.
