Chapter 102: Choice
"Miss!"
The man's somewhat anxious voice came.
Sitting in the backyard of the shop, looking at the account book, Cheng Lang raised his head suddenly.
A few days after entering Beijing, Cheng Lang was caught by Cheng Yuguan in the shop to read the transfer account book.
Wu Xiangxiang was born in the north, and stayed in the shop with Cheng Lang for a few days, but he couldn't sit still.
Today, Cheng Yuguan saw that Wu Xiangxiang was really bored, so he asked Liuyun to take her out for a walk.
It's only been a long time.
Seeing that Cheng Lang couldn't wait to see the appearance of his buddy, Cheng Yuguan knew that he was worried about Wu Xiangxiang. was afraid that she would offend people in the capital full of nobles, which caused the guy to be anxious.
"What's the matter? Isn't it your three young ladies? β
Cheng Lang blurted out, and he didn't even shy away from it.
The guy glanced at Cheng Yuguan, and then reported to Cheng Lang.
"Yes."
Cheng Yuguan, who was still drinking tea, put down the tea cup in his hand when he heard the words, and sat up straight. Sharp eyes look at the guy.
"Say."
The guy knew the temper of his shopkeeper, and when he heard this, he took a deep breath and said it in a clear manner.
"Today is the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and there are temple fairs in the east and west markets, so there are not many people hanging out in front of our store. Just now, the little one was in a trance in the store and saw a bearded man hurriedly passing by the door of the store, and when he left the store to take a closer look, he saw that the big man's figure had already walked away. The little one lowered his head again, but found that there was an extra letter at the door of the store. Yes, there is. It said that Liuyun and the Third Young Lady were tied up by them and sent to Qingfeng Tower and Wanghai Tower respectively. And only give us half an hour to ransom us, and you want to go yourself. β
Cheng Yuguan's guys left on Xuanwu Street are not idle people.
The young man in front of him had followed Cheng Yuguan a few years ago, so he concisely connected the things he knew and told Cheng Yuguan.
"Wanghailou is outside the East City Gate, there is a temple fair there today, you just have to hurry over, but also delay some time, half an hour will be able to rush over."
As he spoke, the guy glanced at Cheng Lang.
"The third young lady is in Wanghai Tower."
β¦
After a moment's pause, Cheng Lang looked at Cheng Yuguan anxiously.
"Little sister, this is obviously someone targeting us."
Cheng Yuguan nodded heavily.
Liuyun, and Wu Xiangxiang, one is Cheng Yuguan's personal maid, and the other is Cheng Lang's fiancΓ©e.
Although the importance of these two people is not on the same level, they are equally indispensable.
The thief only gave Cheng Yuguan half an hour, and he had to redeem him personally, obviously forcing Cheng Yuguan to make a choice.
β¦
"Why are you? Your Xu family has returned to the border with your family. As far as I know, you made a move this time and used all the people left by the Xu family to you. Just to embarrass Cheng Yuguan and let her make a choice? Is it worth it? Cheng Yuguan may be embarrassed by your troubles for a while, but you have no manpower to help you in the rest of your life. β
Cheng Yulou looked at Xu Zhiyun beside him and said.
Since that day when they went crazy in front of the five princes, the two have long since separated.
The fifth prince no longer even restrained her, but let her go.
Cheng Yulou was desperate in his heart.
She knows that ignoring is the deepest way to give up.
Therefore, when Xu Zhiyun extended an olive branch again, Cheng Yulou struggled again and again, but still took it.
No matter how bad it is, how much worse can it be than now?
With such an idea, Cheng Yulou disguised himself and appeared in Jingming Hall to join Xu Zhiyun.
Jingming Hall overlooks, you can see the entrance of Qingfeng Tower.
Cheng Yulou said, glancing at Qingfeng Tower.
"How Cheng Yuguan spoils Liuyun's girl, he will not abandon Wu Xiangxiang and choose her. You're waiting here, doomed to disappointment. β
Wu Xiangxiang is already most of the Cheng family.
Where would Cheng Yuguan give up the Cheng family for the sake of a girl in Liuyun?
In this way, how will she face the Cheng family in the future, and how will she face the hundreds of Cheng Ji and the backbone of the Cheng family?
If she gives up Wu Xiangxiang, it means that Cheng Ji, the largest stone shop in Daqian, will have to separate from her in the future.
Cheng Yuguan has lived to this day, and most of his life is in Cheng Ji.
Will she give up her life and such a deep backer as the Cheng family for a girl who has only been by her side for a few years?
Cheng Yulou almost didn't have to think about it, he knew Cheng Yuguan's choice.
Xu Zhiyun, who hadn't seen him for a long time, held the window and turned his back to Cheng Yulou.
The back is emaciated, and you can even see the butterfly bones on the shoulders through the winter coat.
The rugged back made Cheng Yulou feel a little crazy.
It can be imagined how much of a blow she was hit by repeated setbacks in the face of Cheng Yuguan.
She will be like this time, the hole cards are all out, just to embarrass Cheng Yuguan once, making her uncomfortable.
Cheng Yulou looked at Xu Zhiyun's back, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
She regretted it a little, broke the boundary of the five princes again, and secretly contacted Xu Zhiyun, a "madman".
At this time, Xu Zhiyun smiled inexplicably.
The laughter was smug and grim.
"You, you have to be Cheng Yuguan's opponent. We are both sisters, but the two of you are very different. β
Xu Zhiyun's words were unceremoniously, but Cheng Yulou didn't have time to get angry, and only looked at Xu Zhiyun's back.
Her tone made Cheng Yulou a little inexplicably afraid. It's too late to get angry when you're afraid.
As if facing an evil ghost, Cheng Yulou rubbed his arm and gave himself warmth.
I only heard Xu Zhiyun's crazy and smug voice come again.
"You don't know Cheng Yuguan."
"Cheng Yuguan has lived to this day, why is he so proud?"
"It's that she has a breath in her heart, a standard. She felt that she was guarding this criterion, and she was superior to others. Today, I have to break her line! β
As he spoke, Xu Zhiyun turned around with an indifferent expression, but with fanaticism in his eyes, he looked at Cheng Yulou as if he was going to devour her in the next second.
"Choose Wu Xiangxiang, so what is the difference between her Cheng Yuguan and the big and small ladies in the capital? What's the difference with us? β
"It's just for the family."
"Then how can she be proud in front of you and me in the future? Everyone is a person all the way, who is more noble than whom? β
"Why does the fourth prince prefer her?"
"If you choose Liuyun. That's like you said. She Cheng Yuguan's hard work for half of her life was in vain. β
"Without Cheng Ji, in the future, she will just be a woman in the inner courtyard."
"In this way, how can she be a maverick in the capital."
"Perhaps, she is not as good as us as a housewife."
"In the long run, the four princes will inevitably not get tired of her."
Speaking of this, Xu Zhiyun could no longer hide his smugness, and even laughed arrogantly.
"Hah! Sister Yulou, you say, did my sister's plan avenge you? β
After speaking, Xu Zhiyun was no longer suppressed, and even laughed arrogantly and even a little rampantly.
Looking at Xu Zhiyun who bent over with a smile, Cheng Yulou was terrifying and disgusted at the beginning, and later, he inexplicably laughed with Xu Zhiyun.
Xu Zhiyun's words entered Cheng Yulou's heart.
Since she was a child, when she saw Cheng Yuguan, she didn't know where her sense of superiority came from, and she could ignore her father's favor and her mother's dowry.
Do you think she is really a fairy who regards fame and fortune as nothing?
It's just something to rely on.
Now, she just wants to see whether Cheng Yuguan can continue to maintain her "immortal energy" in the face of reliance and conscience.
Make a choice that is very different from those of them and other laymen!
Thinking about what Xu Zhiyun said, he pulled Cheng Yu down to the mortal dust.
"If that's the case, Sister Zhiyun, you are my noble..."
Cheng Yulou said softly unconsciously.
Since childhood, Cheng Yuguan has been Cheng Yulou's demon.
Identity, Conduct, Integrity and Ability.
All high above.
She is the first talented woman, full of cheesiness.
Now, too, you will be dragged down to earth.
My good sister!
"What?"
Xu Zhiyun was surprised by Cheng Yulou's happy expression and inaudible muttering.
Cheng Yulou looked at Xu Zhiyun, but smiled lightly.
"It's nothing, good sister."
β¦
The pride of the two women, Cheng Lang is naturally not clear.
He was just anxious.
"Little sister, recently when you first became the princess, many people regard you as a thorn in the side, or deliberately targeted, or fell into the ground. There are also those who fish in troubled waters. β
"How many black hands are here, I'm afraid the mastermind behind the scenes is not clear."
"Little sister, I know that you have always been proud and will not be threatened to compromise."
"But now you're not facing an opponent, but an invisible group of opponents."
As he spoke, Cheng Lang shook the letter in his hand.
"Now, the rules are here. Even if you have the ability, the people behind the scenes will not give you a chance to show it. β
"So, whether it's East or West, I'm afraid you have to follow the rules."
As he spoke, Cheng Lang closed his eyes.
"Liuyun is sensible and cute, she is the right-hand man of my little sister, I know my little sister's feelings for Liuyun, just like my sister."
"But ,..."
"Xiangxiang, she is my fiancΓ©e after all. As my position, I definitely want you to save Xiangxiang. β
"East or West, I don't force you, you choose."
"I'm going to gather people first. After this time, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely pay the price! β
After speaking, Cheng Lang Huoran got up and strode out of the backyard.
Cheng Lang is no longer the simple young man he was at the beginning, of course he knows how many people are eyeing the position of the fourth princess and the future crown princess.
The enemy on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg.
There are not a few people who really look on coldly and wait for the little sister to make a mistake.
They are standing on the shore, waiting for you to make a mistake, and then they can seize the moment and drive you into the abyss.
It was precisely because he understood that there were countless pairs of eyes watching from the wall in the capital that Cheng Lang was even more powerless and angry.
"When the time comes, no matter who it is, I will bear the consequences!"
Cheng Lang faced the team of the Cheng family and announced fiercely.
The battle in the capital will stop at the point.
The royal taboo is bloody, so there are few homicides in the capital.
He Cheng Lang, he wants this capital today, see blood!
It's a big deal, go back to the state again, and never come back!
Cheng Lang gathered people and waited for Cheng Yuguan to come forward.
Cheng Yuguan was sitting on the stone table in the backyard, holding the letter in his hand, still reading it carefully.
"Liuyun, you go to the fourth prince..."
Halfway through the words of command. Cheng Yuguan reacted suddenly, it turned out that Liuyun had been arrested and was waiting for her to rescue her in Xicheng.
At the same time, in the Wanghai Tower in Dongcheng, there is Wu Xiangxiang, who has just arrived and has a huge influence in her mother's family, and she is also waiting for her to come forward.
The timing of the selection of the people behind the scenes is very good, and once again avoid the four princes.
Li Mian is now in the camp in Beicheng, even if he is hurrying up, he can't come at the specified time.
Since the letter said that if she was only given one chance, the other person must be in a catastrophe.
β¦
"Little sister, there's no time!"
Cheng Lang appeared at the instrument gate and looked at Cheng Yuguan quietly. There was a struggle in his eyes, but he still looked at Cheng Yuguan quietly and didn't say anything more.
What he had to say, he had just said,
He knows very well that it is not easy for Xiaomei to gain a foothold, and her current status does not rely on the blessing of the four princes, but her own principles, which are recognized by the world.
Now, in front of the public, he has been executed in public.
Whether it is public or private, whether it is a powerful in-laws, or its own subordinates.
How to choose between the palm of the hand and the back of the hand?
Suddenly, I don't know what to think, Cheng Yuguan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Little Five!"
Cheng Yuguan shouted.
Xiao Wu, who was originally in the corner, reported the letter, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
He knew that his chance, this time it really came.
"Miss!"
Xiao Wu walked quickly to Cheng Yuguan's side and restrained the excitement in his heart.
Cheng Yuguan looked at Xiao Wu.
The world is like a shuttle, suddenly in a flash.
"You've been with me for almost three years."
"If you say more, you don't need to say more."
"I just ask, can I trust you."
Xiao Wu thumped his hands, restrained his excitement, and replied quickly.
The little one sent someone to track down the big man, and found out that he finally disguised himself and left the city from Xicheng. Qingfeng Building in Xicheng, the shopkeeper's admiration lady is a person, and many times when she goes to Qingfeng Building in a small one, she personally comes forward to entertain her. β
"If what the letter says is true, the flowing clouds are in the Qingfeng Building."
"You don't need to show up, the little one can save Liuyun back!"
What Xiao Wu said was categorical, Cheng Yuguan looked at Xiao Wu, but he didn't dare to make a decision easily.
Seeing Cheng Yuguan hesitate, Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger on his waist.
"The small one dares to make a military order, as long as Liuyun is in Qingfeng Tower, the small one will be rescued unscathed, otherwise you don't need to make a move, the small one will use this knife to make amends to Liuyun!"
The dagger was shiny, out of the sheath, and in Xiao Wu's palm, two blood marks were drawn.
Xiao Wu held the dagger with one hand, dripping thick blood.
Seeing the blood, Cheng Yuguan made up his mind.
"I'm not qualified as a master. It's hard to trust anyone other than your own. β
"This time, I'll hand over the flowing clouds to you. If it can be done, in the future, you will go to Jingzhou to be the chief treasurer of the branch! β
This opportunity to splash the sky, at the moment when it finally came to the door, Xiao Wu could no longer suppress his excitement and knelt on one knee.
"I am willing to die for Miss!"
After speaking, without waiting for Cheng Yuguan to say more, Xiao Wu turned around and disappeared in front of everyone with a few witty and shrewd subordinates.
The people who stayed behind were puzzled, envious, and amazed.
Cheng Lang suddenly sighed.
"Xiao Wu has grown to such tenacity, which is inferior to me. Little sister, have I wasted too much over the years? β
Cheng Yuguan had already made up his mind at this time, and tried to trust others for the first time.
This is not only forced by circumstances, but also the first time since she came to this world that she has tried to open the door of her heart and try to trust others.
If it can be done this time, in the future, she will truly integrate into this world, and there will be no more barriers and barriers with this world.
Cheng Lang didn't understand how important the decision just now was to Cheng Yuguan, he just felt that the little sister's eyes became brighter, and the aura of the whole person became more integrated, and there was no longer that sense of detachment and incompatibility.
"Third brother, there's no time to sigh, hurry up and save people!"
Cheng Ji unified up and down, followed Cheng Yuguan to turn over and get on the horse, and for the first time, on the streets of the capital, rode a horse and galloped.
