Chapter 159: Fire

The eldest lady even has some fantasies in her heart, the Cheng family definitely doesn't have such a big face, let a prince personally send someone to find herself, so this prince must have a place where she can use to find herself.

In that case, she must make the most of this opportunity, and she must not stay in that beggar's house any longer!

When the eldest lady entered Prince Lian's mansion, she had already been attracted by the expensive things inside, and she couldn't open her eyes, until she saw Prince Lian, and the eldest lady quickly knelt down: "The maiden knocks on the prince!" ”

"Alright, get up, and stand away from this king first."

The disgust on Prince Lian's face was not concealed at all, and the smile on the eldest lady's face became a little ugly after listening to Prince Lian's words, but she still endured it silently, and comforted herself in her heart.

"This king came to you for something to ask you, you ......"

Before Prince Lian finished speaking, he saw the eldest lady on the other side and hurriedly agreed: "Prince, just ask, I will definitely tell the prince everything I know, and I just ask the prince that you can give the people a little remuneration." ”

"Heh, don't worry, naturally you are indispensable, but you have to answer the question first, Cheng Ying has been with you for so many years, have you found his background, or is there anything different about him?"

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment after listening to Prince Lian's words, but quickly recalled it in her mind, and finally stumbled and said: "At that time, Cheng Ying was brought to me by the old lady himself, he was in good health at the time, and he didn't seem to be weak and sick, but who knew that he suddenly had a high fever after a few days, and then he became like this." ”

After speaking, the eldest lady tried to think about it again, as for Prince Lian, he only felt that this person had said some nonsense, and just wanted to make a shock, but the person in front of him heard this person say again.

"That's right! When the old lady brought him over, I saw that he had a jade pendant, the jade pendant was in very good condition, and it looked like the kind of rich and noble people could afford it, and the Cheng family at that time was not too rich, if you wanted to buy that piece of jade, it was estimated that you would have to spend half of the Cheng family's property, I adopted him at that time, and there were two achievements because of that piece of jade. ”

After hearing this, Prince Lian hurriedly asked, "Where did that piece of jade go now?" ”

The eldest lady saw that her answer was useful to Prince Lian, so she couldn't wait to show herself: "I haven't dared to pawn that jade pendant since I took it, and I have been putting it in my jewelry box in Cheng's mansion, but then my sister, that is, the second lady of Cheng's mansion, she fell in love with that piece of jade, so she excused herself to leave, by the way, Cheng Ying didn't remember it at that time, and she definitely didn't know about that jade pendant!" ”

When Prince Lian heard this, he waved his hand, and let his servants take the eldest lady to a guest room, and settled him down temporarily, so that if the information provided to him by this person was wrong, it would be convenient for him to dispose of her.

The Cheng family must have the crown prince now, if he rashly sends someone forward, it is estimated that the plan will be ruined, Prince Lian thought for a while, and came up with a plan in his mind.

That night, the Cheng family, Su Jinxiu had already fallen asleep, and was woken up in a daze, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her anxious face.

Seeing this, Su Jinxiu knew that something was wrong, and immediately sobered up, and then quickly looked left and right, and got up from the bed at the same time: "What happened?" ”

"Cheng's mansion is on fire, and the second lady's residence and the old lady's residence are still burning."

After listening to Cheng Ying's words, Su Jinxiu roughly dressed and followed Cheng Ying out, and as soon as she got outside, she saw a fire not far away, such a big fire, and I don't know if Cheng Taijun escaped.

Su Jinxiu couldn't help but feel a little anxious if she wanted to die, Cheng Lao Taijun is such a good person, but don't let anything happen!

As for the scary people of the city government, they were all in a hurry by this work, and they ran to fight the fire, Su Jinxiu and Cheng Ying naturally had to help, so they also joined the firefighting camp.

About an hour later, the fire was completely extinguished, all the people of the Cheng family were disgraced, and Cheng Lao Taijun was also frightened, and when the fire was extinguished, he hurriedly summoned everyone in the Cheng family to count the number of people.

The result is good, the second lady is gone! Although the second lady's residence was on fire, after the fire was extinguished, she didn't even see a word about Shi Capital, so she should have fled by herself or someone took advantage of the chaos to arrest her.

After the news of the second lady's disappearance spread, everyone invariably remembered the good things the eldest lady had done before, and they all began to guess whether the fire was set by the second lady.

After discussing for a while, I don't know what happened, everyone's speculation suddenly turned into affirmation, Cheng Yi listened to it next to him with a gloomy face, and finally couldn't bear to scold loudly in front of Cheng Lao Taijun: "Shut up, how can you be like a long-tongued woman every day, if it's affirmative, come out with evidence over there, there is not even a evidence, what are you arguing about here, I think you are jealous of my mother, so you want to pour dirty water on her!" ”

The rest of the Cheng family was very dissatisfied when they heard Cheng Yi's words, and they opened their mouths to scold them back, but they were knocked off the table by Mrs. Cheng, and they all shut up.

"Okay, now that such a big thing has happened in the house, let's stop everyone, this matter must be deliberate today, and I will send someone to report to the official tomorrow! It's getting late today, so let's disperse first. ”

After Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, she let the maid beside her help her to the courtyard of Cheng's mansion, and the other individuals did not dare to disobey Mrs. Chen's words, but there was still muttering in her heart.

Cheng Yi was also full of anger by what the previous group of people said, Zhang Ziyu's matter had not been investigated before, but now his mother suddenly disappeared, why is there so much about it!

As for Cheng Ying and Su Jinxiu returning to the courtyard, they invariably thought of this matter to Prince Lian and the queen, both of whom have recently sent people to investigate Cheng Ying's life experience.

Could it be that they learned that the second lady knew about Cheng Ying's life experience, so they deliberately made such a fuss.

"Cheng Ying, are you sure you never exposed your background when you were young?"

"I'm sure that since I came to the Cheng family, the Taishi has stuffed a few servants into the Cheng family, and they will take care of me, plus I am silent every day, it is impossible to tell others about this matter."

Cheng Ying's tone was very firm, and Su Jinxiu thought for a moment and then asked again: "Could it be something that can prove your background, so that you forgot about it after the second lady took it." ”

When Su Jinxiu asked this, Cheng Ying still shook his head and denied it.
