Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Feast of the Hung Gate

She immediately became vigilant - what did the head of the Fang family want to do!

I only heard the head of the Fang family say slowly: "My two domestic servants didn't have a seizure immediately when they just returned to the Fang family, but when they were chatting around, they were heard by the housekeeper. ”

The head of the Fang family raised his head and looked at Cheng Yi and Cheng Yuxi a little strangely, and then said, "The housekeeper immediately informed me of this matter, but I didn't know if I wanted to tell me about it, after all, ...... Miss Cheng Qiong is still a member of the Cheng family. ”

Cheng Qiong? What will the Fang family say have to do with Cheng Qiong!

Cheng Yuxi secretly thought to himself, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier.

Cheng Yi, on the other hand, laughed indifferently, and said quite confidently: "Why is the head of the Fang family talking so distractedly? Our Cheng family is sitting upright, but they have never done anything wrong, you just say it! ”

Cheng Yi, this idiot!

Cheng Yuxi scolded secretly.

After hearing this, the head of the Fang family smiled and said, "That's what I said." ”

Immediately afterwards, he said: "That's right, when my servants went to the mountains east of the city to pick some herbs, they encountered a heavy rain on the way back, and since these herbs have been picked, they are naturally very delicate and cannot be drenched in the rain, so these two servants carried the herb basket to an abandoned courtyard to avoid the rain. ”

"The two of them collected medicinal herbs for a long time, and when they were a little thirsty, they found that the well in the middle of the courtyard had not completely dried up, so they used a wooden bucket to draw some water, intending to quench their thirst."

Li Ming said: "Master Fang, wait a minute, this abandoned courtyard in the east of the city is ......"

"It seems that a woman named Feng Niang lived with her son, and after I heard that her son died of illness, Feng Niang left the town alone." The head of the Fang family said.

Cheng Yuxi frowned, she immediately remembered that the abandoned yard that the head of the Fang family said should be the one she secretly ran out of Cheng's house before, and the water in the well in the yard was also taken back by Cheng Yuxi to check it, and found that the water was very problematic.

Then Cheng Yi suddenly patted the table impatiently and said, "Don't divert the topic, keep talking, and then, what's wrong with your servants?" Why does it have something to do with Cheng Qiong? ”

The head of the Fang family smiled: "Young Master Cheng Yi, don't be so impatient. Listen to me slowly. Because the rain had been raining for too long, the two servants had been in the abandoned yard for most of the night, and when the rain had finally subsided, they were about to leave for their home, but as soon as they reached the gate of the courtyard, they saw a woman in tattered clothes stumbling from the foot of the mountain. ”

Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows.

Li Ming asked, "Is this ...... Why are there women in tattered clothes on this big night? ”

The head of the Fang family looked at Cheng Yi and Cheng Yuxi, and said slowly: "My two servants were also frightened, so they hurriedly retreated, but I didn't expect this woman to talk to herself while walking, saying that everyone can't survive, and saying that the crumbs of the black witch wood have been thrown by her on the other side of the spring...... In short, there are a lot of crazy words, when the woman approached, the two servants found out that this woman was Cheng Qiong! ”

Cheng Yi was stunned when he heard the words of the head of the Fang family, and then he slammed the table and said angrily: "Fang Yujie! You're spewing blood! ”

Cheng Yi was really mad, and he dared to directly call out the name of the head of the Fang family!

Cheng Yuxi looked at Cheng Yi coldly, only to feel that the people hadn't put down the set yet, so Cheng Yi had already jumped in by himself.

Cheng Yi's angry appearance made everyone look at each other, they looked at each other, and then Li Ming thought for a while, and said: "If I remember correctly, the Black Witch Wood seems to be a kind of tree full of poison, this tree is extremely difficult to survive, and we have never seen such a thing in our local area......"

"Have you forgotten, the head of the Li family ......" the head of the Su family said slowly: "Recently, the head of the Cheng family has not been running all over the world, and he is famous...... Buying medicinal herbs? ”

As soon as these words came out, the others were shocked, and Fang Yujie's last sentence also became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

I saw him say unhurriedly: "I remember that a few nights ago, the Cheng family seemed to have sent a lot of servants all over the town to find someone, I sent someone to ask, saying that the Cheng family's crazy young lady Cheng Qiong escaped?" ”

Cheng Yuxi raised his eyes, glanced at everyone's faces, and found that a layer of suspicion appeared on their faces, and he was staring at them quietly.

Cheng Yi was angry and shouted loudly: "You guys...... You're spewing blood! Cheng Qiong is a little unclear, but it is absolutely impossible for her to do something like sprinkling black witch wood on the other side of the spring! ”

"Then Young Master Cheng, how should you explain Miss Cheng Qiong's appearance at the foot of the mountain in the middle of the night?" Fang Yujie asked: "Everyone knows that our food and clothing are inseparable from that spring, and the crumbs of the black witch wood are dissolved in water-Young Master Cheng!" How long are you going to quibble! ”

Cheng Yi was full of blood and strength, he came to this meeting with confidence, originally wanted to come up with a good way to impress everyone with him, so as to successfully regain control of the Cheng family, but he didn't expect that this Fang family master would be able to push all the things on him!

But it is a fact that Cheng Qiong went out, and it is also a fact that Cheng Yuanshan purchased medicinal materials all over the world, not to mention that Cheng Yi still doesn't know what Cheng Qiong did that night, if she really did, she really ......

Thinking about it, even Cheng Yi himself was a little unconfident, and the head of the Fang family was grasping him for this, and continued to ask: "Young Master Cheng Yi, I also heard that you have been out cultivating for many years, and you have met many people, and now you have suddenly returned to us, and you have brought two alchemy masters, as well as a batch of excellent medicinal materials, right?" ”

Cheng Yuxi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, she looked at Cheng Yi, but she didn't know about it.

Cheng Yi's sudden return to Cheng's house was already very weird, but he didn't expect that in addition to bringing back two fellow senior brothers, he also brought back a batch of high-grade medicinal materials?

Cheng Yi didn't expect his hole cards to be detected by others so easily, he said with a pale face: "I just want to refine these medicinal materials into pills and put them in Cheng's house!" ”

"Oh?" Fang Yujie sneered: "We all know that Young Master Cheng Yi, you don't have a good relationship with Cheng Yuanshan, and you usually don't even have much correspondence, why did you suddenly change your temperament and want to provide Cheng Yuanshan with pills?" Or did you already talk about how people in the town would get the disease, so ......? ”

The head of the Fang family was really cunning, and with a few words, he pointed all his suspicions at Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi's face turned red, and he said, "You are talking nonsense! Where is there any elixir in the black witch wood that can be unlocked! Who would dare to touch such a poisonous tree! ”

"Then why do you want to connive at Cheng Qiong and move the springs in our town?" The head of the Su family finally couldn't hold it back, and he shouted: "My pearl, she is only twelve years old!" I haven't woken up since I came back from a round outside! My wife and I are just such a daughter, Cheng Yi! You're so ruthless! ”

"You have to speak with evidence! Cheng Qiong, Cheng Qiong, she can't do this, how could she do this......" Cheng Yi's tone gradually weakened.

At this moment, Cheng Yuxi looked at the indignant expressions of the other family heads, and secretly thought: Sure enough, it was not a gathering together to discuss countermeasures at all, but a thorough Hongmen banquet for their Cheng family.

In Cheng Yuxi's opinion, these families had long been suspicious of the Cheng family, and the large-scale illness just gave them this reason......

Thinking of this, Cheng Yuxi coughed lightly, and then said: "Fellow family masters, I know that everyone is really concerned about the affairs in the town, so why don't you calm down first and listen to me carefully?" ”

Cheng Yi was also frightened by such a scene, and he hurriedly said: "Yes! Right! Listen to Sister Yuxi first, calm down! ”

But the head of the Fang family didn't think so at all, only to hear him sneer, and then said, "Oh? Is Miss Cheng Yuxi trying to favor her own people? ”

Cheng Yuxi looked at the head of the Fang family calmly, and then said, "Where is there favoritism?" The ins and outs of the matter are not fully understood. Although I know that the head of the Fang family is upright, if the people in your mansion insist on slandering us, then we are also very wronged. ”

After hearing Cheng Yuxi's words, the head of the Fang family said in a cold voice: "Since you don't believe it, then call the friends of those servants to ask!" They heard it with their own ears! ”

Cheng Yuxi pondered for a while, and then said, "Okay, then call them over and ask." If it was really Young Master Cheng's doing, then we would definitely punish him severely. But if someone wants to create rumors to slander us......" Her beautiful phoenix eyes looked at the head of the Fang family lightly, and said with a smile: "I won't swallow my anger." ”

The head of the Fang family looked at Cheng Yuxi's appearance, and he shivered inexplicably. Although Cheng Yuxi still looks so petite and weak, compared with the previous submissive woman, there has indeed been a great change.

The head of the Fang family sent someone to the mansion to call his servant, but he didn't expect that after the servant went to the Fang family, he hurried back, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he said with some horror: "The master of the family is not good!" The best friend of the two domestic servants also passed out! ”

The Fang family head's face changed, and he shouted coldly, "Didn't I already ask you to isolate those two people? Why do you still pass out? ”

"This ...... I don't know, master. The servant seemed frightened, and he was trembling all over.
