Chapter 23 Acceptance of Resignation
When Cheng Shui woke up, he was lying on the bed, and the environment was a little unfamiliar.
She couldn't help frowning, thinking of Liu's death, and there was a pain in her heart, and her eyes were sore.
"Huh? The girl is awake. ”
An unfamiliar voice sounded, in a brisk tone.
Cheng Shui looked up and saw an old naughty boy coming over and grabbing her wrist to check her pulse.
"Qi is weak and sad, weak and cold. Your life is short. The old man shook his head and said with a smile.
"Old urchin, you talk like this, haven't you been beaten?" Cheng Shui is not in a good mood, and she doesn't like such frivolous and exaggerated people, whether male or female, young or old.
"Ah, what do you call me? Old naughty boy, this name is good, this name is good, I like it, hehe. ”
Obviously, Cheng Shui deliberately said this to mock him for being disrespectful. The old man didn't mind, but was as happy as a child.
Her reason finally returned, and she realized it later: "You are the old immortal of Shili Village?" ”
"What an old fairy, call me an old naughty boy, hum." The old urchin was not happy, glared at her, turned his head and ran away.
Is he really seventy? Cheng Shui was skeptical. She didn't notice that the depression in her chest seemed to dissipate a little with the evil words just now.
In fact, since I came to this world, although everything has gone smoothly, there are no obstacles. But there is still a sense of aggrieved depression lingering in Cheng Shui's heart, why me? Why did you travel back in time to this era? Questions like this seem to have disappeared from her relationship with the Cheng family. But in fact, there is no venting out.
She didn't know why the crossing started, and she seemed to have a vague hope of going back. And because it didn't affect itself, everything went on lightly, and it was executed by the Cheng brothers and the Li family, and it was like a game played by a real person.
So when things really happen, the plot plays out in front of you. When Liu's life was lost in her arms, Cheng Shui seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, this is not fake, this is not a game.
There are really hundreds of people who depend on her for food because of her. There are really people who regard her as a mother and trust and rely on her.
Cheng Shui didn't face up to this incredible experience at first, but the gears of fate never stopped with personal emotions.
Think of the past, the present. As if out of reach, she was out of her comfort zone and descended on such a dynasty alone. In the struggle between power and desire, between the common people and the aristocracy, she is not a spectator, she is a participant.
No, she can be more than just a participant.
Water is never weak, it can break through rocks, and it can contain all things. Flowing from the highest to the lowest, it nourishes all things with humility and courtesy, and it roars through to control life and death.
Cheng Shui's eyes deepened, and the soul trapped in this old body seemed to begin to glow, recovering his past glory.
Outside the house, everyone who heard Cheng Shui wake up rushed over.
Stepping into the door, the person who saw Cheng Shui next to the bed was stunned, and felt that there was something different.
Xu Ci didn't notice the person pausing in front of him, he glanced at Cheng Shui quickly, and lowered his head.
"Mother-in-law, it's a son-in-law......"
"Are you willing to avenge Zhao Di?" Cheng Shui interrupted him, and the deceased was gone. She knew that Liu might have regrets when he left, but she would never regret it.
"Revenge? Mother, I've ...... Kill ...... Those two people. ”
Cheng Shui looked at Xu Ci in front of him, although this young man escaped the tragedy of his family being ruined, he seemed to have fallen into other strange circles, where was there a trace of the villain in the book.
"Do you think those two people are the murderers?" Cheng Shui said, looking at the people behind him, Cheng Da, Cheng Er, Cheng San, and Zhang's family, all of them are their own family.
She motioned for Cheng San to close the door, and walked to the table with Zhang's support: "Come, sit down." ”
When everyone heard this, you look at me, I look at you, and finally under the leadership of Cheng Da, they sat together.
"It's been a long time since we've sat down and talked like this." Cheng Shui sighed.
Cheng Er's eyes were red.
Cheng Shui looked at him and asked, "Erlang, do you think those two people are murderers?" She asked again.
"Aren't they? Are all homeless people? Cheng Er was obviously confused and didn't seem to have thought about it.
Cheng Shui glanced around.
Zhang wiped her tears, although she was refreshing, she was really an ordinary ancient woman, married from her father and husband at home.
Cheng Da was silent, he was the most honest and duty-conscious, and although he didn't know how to adapt the things he explained, he was very reliable.
Cheng San's eyes were also red, and Liu often took care of these teenagers when he was there. He is also the best among the brothers, and if he is in the peaceful and prosperous era with the imperial examination, he will definitely be able to make a good name.
Her eyes finally fell on Xu Ci, and she said that her son-in-law was half a son-in-law, but she was really confused as a cheap girl, and she didn't need to let go of the future villain, how tiring it was to work by herself.
"The murderer is not a homeless, but a person who created so many homeless." Cheng Ping said quietly.
The others couldn't understand, Xu Ci's heart was shocked, he raised his eyes to look at his mother-in-law, this old lady was more wise and strong than he thought. How dare she, how dare she say it like this.
Xu Ci looked at Cheng Da and motioned for him to take everyone away first, Cheng Da didn't quite understand, but Cheng Er raised his head.
He took a deep breath: "Big brother, my mother just woke up, and I haven't told Li Sandao about them yet, so you can go and talk about it." ”
Cheng Da hesitated and left.
He looked at the Zhang family again: "Sister-in-law, please find the old fairy and ask, is the medicine for my mother ready?" ”
Zhang glanced at Cheng Shui before leaving.
The rest of Cheng San saw that the second brother was about to speak, and hurriedly said: "Second brother, you don't have to think about supporting me, I have also grown up, and I know what to say and what not to say." His eyes were steadfast.
Cheng Er could only give up, and now there were only four of them left, so he spoke: "Ever since I learned business with Uncle Sandao, I have always had a doubt in my heart. ”
"Why would someone secretly transport grain to Shilong Town? Where exactly does this food come from? ”
"The answer in your mind is not obvious." Cheng Shui did not hesitate.
Hearing this, as if he couldn't suppress his emotions anymore, Cheng Er slapped the table hard: "Damn!" Who the hell is it! How dare they do this for their own selfish desires! ”
"No wonder, when I was in Zengcheng, I obviously saw that the highest price of grain was only 800 Wen, but Shilong Town dared to rise to 4,000 Wen." Xu Ci's eyes were bottomless, "The other merchants in the surrounding city don't know, we are like lambs who have been fenced." ”
"Zengcheng, Shenguancheng, the power and wealth in the city don't know, otherwise they will definitely have a piece of the pie."
"It can be seen that there is a lot of power in it."
“...... It can also be seen that the people behind it are ruthless. The people of a city, tens of thousands, are like ants. Cheng Shui sighed.
"So, do you dare to take revenge?"
She looked up at the window, as if asking.
"Report." Cheng Er said in a low voice, he stared straight at the pattern on the table, like a tone word.
Cheng San knew that there was no room for him to speak, so he just turned his gaze to Xu Ci.
I saw the latter get up and bow his hand: "After resigning, obey...... The head of the house commanded. He didn't call his mother-in-law, but chose the same title as Cheng Shuli's family. The head of the house, no, what he wants to call is the lord.
Of the three people present, he was the only one who saw Cheng Shui's ambition and understood her purpose.
