Chapter 159: Accountability (2)
Although Bai Zhengzhong's study did not open the doors and windows in the west, the whole wall was still a little stuffy in the room after the west, and Bai Zhengzhong didn't seem to let people send ice cubes in, as soon as he entered the door, he put his hands behind his back and looked at Zheng with a dark face.
Zheng Shi was uneasy to see, and said with a smile: "Master, what are you looking at me like this?" ”
Bai Zhengzhong narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Let me ask you, do you have anything to tell me?" ”
"......" Zheng Shi felt a sudden shock in her heart, and her first reaction was to wonder if Bai Zhengzhong knew about her and Cheng Ruohan's joint venture, but then she thought that the matter had been resolved, and there was nothing to worry about, so she smiled and said, "What's the matter with me?" It's just that I went to the Taiwei Mansion today to visit my parents. I also didn't know that you would have returned home so early today, or I would have come back earlier. Zheng said as he walked to the desk and offered to make a cup of tea for Bai Zhengzhong.
But when Zheng handed the tea to Bai Zhengzhong, he was suddenly overturned to the ground by Bai Zhengzhong in anger.
"You stupid woman! How dare you lie to me! Bai Zhengzhong's eyes were red and he looked at Zheng and said angrily: "What do you think of me?" Ignorant and reckless?! ”
Zheng was glad that he was holding herbal tea in his hand, and his hands were not burned, but he was startled by Bai Zhengzhong's anger, and she was shocked and angry: "Master, what are you talking about?" Where did I lie to you? ”
"You dare to say that you didn't lie to me!" Bai Zhengzhong was so angry that he almost grabbed the placket of Zheng's clothes, but because he took into account the sage book he read, he couldn't help but read the gentleman's mouth, and his hands clenched into fists and said: "You dare to hide from me and take the Grange to do business with the Cheng family?" I also got my hands on yesterday's fireworks! Are you willing to kill me?! ”
As soon as Bai Zhengzhong's words came out, Zheng's last luck was gone, and her face changed dramatically and said urgently: "Master, don't worry, I have already gone to the Taiwei Mansion to talk to my father and mother about this today, and I am sure that there will be no problem, I just took 100,000 taels to participate in the Jade Pavilion, and the matter of the fireworks workshop has nothing to do with me!" ”
"You-" Bai Zhengzhong couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Zheng's clothes, approached her face, and said with distorted facial features: "You don't have my consent to hide this matter, just hide it from me, you still collaborated with the Taiwei Mansion to do this, you...... You slut didn't take me seriously at all! ”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Zhengzhong had already pushed Zheng Shi to the ground heavily, and pointed at the screaming Zheng Shi with a red face with anger: "Over the years, I have tolerated you to be powerful in my Bai Mansion, and I didn't care about you for all kinds of trials and tribulations of frost over the years, but now you have to hide such a big thing from me, and you only care about your mother's family, are you forcing me to divorce you?!" ”
"Divorce me? ......" Zheng stumbled up and cried: "Master, I did this for our family!" Mingzhu made a big mistake, I only agreed to cooperate with the second child of the Cheng family in order to get a marriage letter for Mingzhu, all I realized was the dowry given to me by my mother, and I didn't use the property of Baifu at all! ”
"Don't talk about it!" For so many years, Bai Zhengzhong had been holding back his anger for a long time because he thought about the Taiwei Mansion behind the Zheng family, and now he couldn't hold back his hand at all when he vented it. He interrupted Zheng's words and said, "Your Taiwei Mansion has a great business, and I can't compare with it, but since you have entered the gate of my Bai family, you must abide by the rules of my Bai family!" You dare to go to the muddy waters of the party struggle, is this the courage that your father who is a captain gave you?! ”
"Sir, I-"
"Today, I was summoned by the emperor and asked if I knew about this, and I was asked about the embarrassment and horror in time, can you understand?!" Bai Zhengzhong said the key point, so angry that he kicked the chair on the side to the ground, but stumbled two steps because of the pain of his foot injury. He laughed angrily and said, "Yes, if your Taiwei Mansion can settle this matter, you will be satisfied, have you ever thought about my situation?" I finally managed to gain some face in front of the emperor, and now I'm ruining it all for you! The emperor now probably not only knows about the fact that you took money to do business for the second child of the Cheng family, but even Mingzhu must have found out clearly about the matter of Mingzhu in the Admiral's Mansion a few months ago, and my Bai family is now half faceless. ”
Zheng Shi heard the disappointment and despair in Bai Zhengzhong's tone, and immediately stepped forward and grabbed Bai Zhengzhong's arm at the risk of being pushed away by Bai Zhengzhong, and tried his best to comfort him: "Master, my father has already said that he will step up his contacts with us in the future, and let me take you to the Taiwei Mansion to walk around, and my father will help you in your career in the future." ”
“……”
This remark is undoubtedly the best medicine for Bai Zhengzhong who is angry, as soon as these words come out, Bai Zhengzhong's anger really dissipates a little, but after he calmed down and thought about it for a while, he felt that he still couldn't forgive Zheng so quickly.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhengzhong snorted coldly: "Help? Where has your father helped me all these years? He stroked Zheng's hand, but his movements were obviously not as rough as Fang Cai's, but his tone was still harsh: "I, Bai Zhengzhong, am a mediocre talent, and I don't dare to hope to win the favor of your Taiwei Mansion." ”
"Old man......"
Bai Zhengzhong turned around and gasped for breath and sighed: "This time, the danger can be passed, I just beg you not to cause trouble for me again!" If you let me know that you are planning behind your back, I will not leave you another face, you come from the Taiwei Mansion, go from the Taiwei Mansion! ”
This is already quite a heavy word for the Zheng family, vaguely revealing Bai Zhengzhong's desire to divorce his wife, Zheng's heart is painful, full of grief and indignation, but he can't say it directly.
"You go out, I don't want to see you again."
Zheng's face was full of tears, and he asked sneeringly: "Then ...... tonight?"
"From today onwards, I will sleep in the study." After a pause, he said, "You don't have to send people to ask questions all day long. ”
In the past, Bai Zhengzhong had a quarrel with the Zheng family and would sleep in the study, but the Zheng family would send someone to ask Bai Zhengzhong about his daily life, and Bai Zhengzhong would return to Zheng's room in three days at most.
However, this time, Bai Zhengzhong was determined to reconcile with the Zheng family, and blocked the Zheng family's back road in advance.
Zheng swallowed his bitter water aggrievedly, and lowered his bow and said: "Then my father, let's go back to the Taiwei Mansion together......"
Bai Zhengzhong was stunned when he heard this, his mind was moved, but he didn't show it on his face, and still said with a cold face: "I will go back to Taiwei's Mansion with you." ”
Now the Zheng family also understands that this incident really made Bai Zhengzhong cold, if Mrs. Zheng can't give substantial help, I'm afraid that she won't be able to ease the relationship between her and Bai Zhengzhong.
