Chapter 162: To untie the bell, you must also tie the bell
On the day of the funeral, there were many people who came to mourn, from famous nobles to ordinary people, and there was a long queue on the mourning hall, waiting for incense to worship.
Originally, the Cheng family was shrouded in sorrow, but the Huo family was unstable, and Huo Zhongting respectfully came to mourn on the surface, but he was not at ease in private.
"The old lady was fine two days ago, but now she is in a hurry, it is hard to guarantee that someone has not done anything." Huo Zhongting deliberately raised the pitch so that everyone in the mourning hall could hear it.
There was a discussion in the mourning hall, and he pointed at Cheng Tianze.
Yin Qian was annoyed, couldn't stand it, and scolded angrily: "Old man Huo, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense." ”
Huo Zhongting did not back down, an elder who was a round older than Yin Qian, and he actually said wildly: "If Cheng Tianze didn't kill his parents with his own hands, how could he be the head of the family, this is a well-known thing." Mrs. Cheng is popular, and it is difficult to guarantee that Cheng Tianze is worried about ......"
"Huo Zhongting, what nonsense are you talking about, disrespecting the old! If you dare to tell a lie again, I'll tear your mouth apart! Yin Qian clenched her fists in anger, she couldn't bear others slandering Cheng Dashao like this, and she angrily scolded Huo Zhongting without words.
Strange to say, it was a funeral, but that day outside the mourning hall was crowded with reporters.
Because of the quarrel between Yin Qian and Huo Zhongting, the order in the mourning hall was disrupted.
"Annoyed and angry, in the whole Xicheng, who doesn't know that the Cheng family's sovereignty is high, but he can harm his parents and lock up his brother, and now he doesn't even let go of the old lady, this is not ......"
Huo Zhongting was ashamed to speak, and seeing that some people around him were being instigated one after another, he continued to add fuel to the fire.
But before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Yin Qian so painful that he could barely speak, and shouted intermittently: "Give it to me...... Scratch...... Get up"
Immediately afterwards, Huo Zhongting's minions surrounded him and grabbed Yin Qian's arm.
didn't have time to grasp it, and Ah Li, who suddenly jumped out, was beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.
"Cat, don't be rude, come over and apologize to Old Man Huo." Cheng Tianze heard the movement, hurriedly rushed over from the back hall, walked to Huo Zhongting, and stretched out his hand to call Yin Qian over.
His face was not good, his eyes were mixed with a cold air, and he insisted on waiting for her to come.
Yin Qian clenched her fists, she probably knew that Cheng Dashao wanted to take care of the overall situation, but she really couldn't swallow this breath in her heart, and walked over slowly, her delicate face was full of unconvinced.
She was stubborn, insisted on refusing to apologize, looked at Huo Zhongting, and wanted to make up for it again.
"Hmph, there are wild seeds that are not taught by mothers." Huo Zhongting hunched over, shrunk his legs, glared at Yin Qian resentfully, and hurt people.
Ah Li couldn't listen to it, and stepped forward to give Huo Zhongting some color to see, but was stopped by Cheng Tianze.
"Old man Huo, the cat is young and makes disrespectful remarks, so I will compensate for her." Cheng Tianze lowered his head for the first time, which made Yin Qian quite puzzled, the unruly and unruly Cheng Dashao actually apologized to Huo Zhongting, a despicable villain.
She couldn't get angry, and when Huo Zhongting was triumphant, she kicked again.
Huo Zhongting obviously didn't expect her to stretch her legs again, lie on the ground, disregard for face, keep shouting pain, and call someone to come and help him up.
"I'm sorry I missed my foot!" Yin Qian was angry and reluctantly apologized, she did it on purpose, she just couldn't see the villain's ambition.
Huo Zhongting broke out in a cold sweat, how could he have the heart to listen to her apology.
Huo Zhongting was carried away, and Yin Qian's kick seemed to be a bit heavy, so that Huo Zhongting couldn't stand up for a long time.
After Huo Zhongting left, the mourning hall returned to order.
When Mrs. Cheng went out of the funeral, many people followed, most of them were people who were favored by the Cheng family, and those famous nobles who succumbed to the Cheng family rarely saw them off.
As the evening approached, the sky gradually darkened, and the dark clouds on the horizon began to fall sporadically.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and after Song Ling, Ye Heng, Ji Yunshen, and An Yi left, only the two Cheng brothers and Yin Qian remained.
"Cat, you go back first." The umbrella in Cheng Tianze's hand tilted, covering her whole person, but her shoulders were wet from the rain.
Yin Qian didn't speak, just shook her head, she wanted to stay and look at her grandmother again.
"Cat, be obedient, I'll go back later." Cheng Tianze insisted, he called Ah Yi to hold an umbrella for her and watched her leave.
After Yin Qian left, Cheng Tianze turned around and knelt side by side with Cheng Shaoxuan in front of Mrs. Cheng's tomb.
His parents died early, and the three brothers of the Cheng family were all raised by Mrs. Cheng, and for the brothers, Mrs. Cheng was not just a grandmother.
"Big brother, I hope you don't resent grandma." Cheng Shaoxuan was overly sad, his mood was extremely low, and he stared vacantly at the portrait of his grandmother on the tombstone.
Since his life experience was exposed, Cheng Shaoxuan has always been ashamed of his eldest brother, since he was a child, whether it was his parents or grandmother, they gave him and Shaoyun all their warmth, and they were only strict with their eldest brother.
"I've never held a grudge against my grandmother." Cheng Tianze said frankly that his deep gaze fell on the tombstone.
The brothers figured it out and knelt quietly at the old lady's grave until night fell and the raindrops grew heavier.
When Cheng Tianze returned home, he didn't see Yin Qian, and he called Ah Li to know that she had gone to Cheng's house.
He was so tired that he didn't go to pick her up, took the wine from the fridge, and sat on the couch and poured himself a drink.
Today, in front of everyone, he insisted on asking her to apologize, which angered her. Huo Zhongting's thoughts, he didn't know them, he just took advantage of the eventful autumn of the Cheng family to rob and disturb the morale of the army.
But if he was angry today, he happened to fall for Huo Zhongting's agitation, no matter what, he wanted to let his grandmother go with dignity.
The wine bottle in Cheng Tianze's hand was empty, he lay on his back on the sofa, sighed deeply, and closed his eyes.
……
Cheng family, the dining table in the middle of the living room is full of delicious food, exuding an attractive fragrance, but no one cares.
Cheng Yanchen quietly stared at Yin Qian, who was silent, coughed dryly twice, and exchanged glances with Xiao Liu.
"Miss, look at this prawn, it's so tender. juice, if you don't eat it, it will be cold. Xiao Liu grinned and put the dishes on Yin Qian's plate, deliberately raising her voice to interrupt her contemplation.
"Oh." Yin Qian responded lightly, absentmindedly picked up the chopsticks, lowered her head and picked up the shrimp on the plate, but she just poked and poked, and didn't seem to be ready to eat.
"Xia Xia, if you have something on your mind, tell your brother." Cheng Yanchen reached out and patted her on the shoulder, asking with concern.
Since she arrived at Cheng's house, she has been running away, and her soul is not guarding, Cheng Yanchen knows that she has nothing to do with the Cheng family, after all, today is the day of Mrs. Cheng's burial, and he asked Zhuang Xing to mourn, so he knows what happened at the funeral.
Yin Qian shook her head and continued to tinker with the shrimp on the plate, looking at it as if there was nothing, and the falling hair was stained with vegetable juice, and she didn't notice it.
"Miss, aren't you duplicitous, are you worried about that wolf-hearted man again?" Xiao Liu's heart was straightforward, he couldn't hide his words in his heart, and he said everything with one mouth. Xiaoliu couldn't see that her young lady was wronged, and today I heard that Cheng Tianze forced Miss to apologize, but she held back her anger.
"Don't speak ill of Aze." Yin Qian raised her head, threw her chopsticks on the table, and looked at Xiao Liu seriously.
No matter what others think of Cheng Dashao, in her heart, he is a warm man, as long as she is there, she can't tolerate others saying bad things about Cheng Dashao.
