Chapter 173 Cheng's Madness

The warm pavilion of Siqian Hall is as warm as spring.【26nbsp;】

There are incense coals burning quietly in the hollow gold chi beast stove. This is made by a new method in the palace. Because it is made by pounding charcoal into powder, then adding jujube and pear juice and combining it into cakes, it is not only smokeless when burned, but also

There is also a faint fragrance, and although the doors and windows are still tightly closed, it does not make people feel depressed at all.

The back of the chair is covered with a thick cushion, which is embroidered with blue cloud pattern, couplet beads and peacock pattern, which is dignified but not too luxurious.

Cheng Xunggong sat upright on Mr. Xie's hands. Even though he was in his own home, he still did not relax at all.

Mr. Xie was sitting on the huanghuali Zen chair with the Chinese character for longevity, looking at the stern-faced eldest son, frowning slightly, "Is this why you came here?"

"This is not a trivial matter." Cheng Xunggong opened his thin lips slightly and said firmly: "It is inappropriate for eldest sister to do this. You should not indulge her."

Ms. Xie asked back: "She has brought Brother Mo to the door. What do you want to do? Is it possible that she will kick him out?"

A trace of hatred flashed in Cheng Xunggong's eyes, "She married and followed her husband, and the eldest sister has not reconciled, and her husband's family is in trouble at the moment. Could her behavior be done by a daughter of the Cheng family?"

Mrs. Xie closed her eyes, thought for a while, and asked, "Is there really no room for change in the Jiang family's matter?" The daughter of the Cheng family has never reconciled, so is it possible that she will really go to that point?

"...Mom, it's better not to have such an idea." Cheng Xunggong looked ugly, "Father would not agree either."

Ms. Xie knew that her husband would definitely not agree. Now that the Jiang family has fallen to this point, if Heli broke out right away, the Cheng family's reputation as a cold-blooded and ruthless family would not go away, and the reputation of Heli's daughter's family would definitely not be good.

...After spending so many years with him, how could I not understand his thoughts...

Cheng Xungong tapped the rosewood table with his long finger and mocked coldly: "If the second brother really saved the Jiang family, I wonder if the eldest sister would still have the face to say thank you..."

Regarding what the eldest daughter had done, Mr. Xie knew very well and could not argue with him. He could only sigh: "It has been so many years. Brother Xun has been busy for the Jiang family these days. I don't think he is happy."

Why do you mind... Since Girl Yun is willing to change, then let's each take a step back."

Xie was getting older, was in poor health, had few grandchildren, and her temperament was not as strong as when she was young. She now knew right from wrong and always wanted the family to be lively, so she gave advice.

Cheng Xunggong sneered, his handsome face grimacing: "Ha." There was a storm brewing in those black eyes that looked exactly like Cheng Xunxun, with a fierce and cold aura that had been baptized by the blood of battlefield wars, "Not to mention Brother Xun, not even me.

Forgive her, never."

His voice was sonorous, powerful and resounding: "As early as when she greeted Brother Xun's face with the hand stove, I no longer regarded her as the eldest sister in my heart."

Pain appeared in Xie's eyes, and her lips trembled, "She truly regrets this time, unlike before..."

"I took action again and again, apologized and begged again and again..." Cheng Xunggong couldn't help interrupting Mr. Xie's words, and snorted: "Mom, do you still dare to believe it... Besides, how can she not bow her head now? Her husband's family

With such a decline, if she doesn't behave better when she returns to her parents' home, is it possible that her noble wife is willing to live a hard life?"

"Just like what you said, Guiyun has no one to rely on. He will naturally have to rely on you two brothers to make a living in the future. How can he do those things again... Moreover, you and Brother Xun are both old, and you are still afraid of her as a woman.

Isn't it possible?" Although Mr. Xie has a hard heart, he is not willing to see his children at odds in his old age.

Cheng Xunggong was furious, his eyes were faintly red, and he clenched his big knuckled hands tightly, "Why, why do you have to give in every time?" Finally, he stood up directly and shouted.

Mother Yang heard the commotion outside and was worried about Ms. Xie's health. She hurriedly asked the little maid to guard the door and walked in hurriedly. She had never seen Cheng Xunggong look so angry and was shocked when she saw Xie

Shi's face turned pale, and he hurriedly stepped forward to caress Xie's chest, and carefully advised: "Uncle...the old lady is not in good health, please don't talk like this."

After hearing the advice, Cheng Xungong took a deep breath, turned to Yang's mother, and asked: "Mother Yang, you know this, tell me, why is it that the second brother always gives in?"

Although Yang's mother made it clear what was going on, she was just a servant. She didn't dare to talk about her master's affairs, so she had to remain silent.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Cheng Xunggong slowly sat back, anger gradually appearing in his brows, "How old was Brother Xun at that time? Two or three years old... The eldest sister was like a madman, under the guise of making clothes for the younger brother.

No. I drove the wet nurse and maid out of the house, secretly bit the younger brother's face, poked him with a needle... yin* he went to climb the rockery, and fell all over with blood on his face... Then he came up with some tricks, I

Think about it..."

Ignoring Mrs. Xie's pleading look, she continued: "My hands were slippery when I was serving the soup, and the hot soup was still steaming... I also knocked over the smoker... I always said hello to Brother Xun's face every time."

Cheng Xunggong's face was covered with ice, and he gnashed his teeth and said: "Does she hate Brother Xun's appearance that much...Should I be lucky that I am only one year younger than her, so I don't have to deal with the murderous hand."

There was deep ridicule in his tone: "You are ugly and you hate your brother from the same mother. You are an absolute lunatic."

"The day before, I burned Brother Xun's face with a smoker. The next day, I knelt in the dripping courtyard to atone for my sins...or I would use a needle to poke a few holes in my body to show you, or else I would go on a hunger strike as a tribute.

Brother, pray for blessings..." Cheng Xunggong's eyes were full of deep-seated hatred, and every word was like nails, sharp and cold: "If she really regrets it, why doesn't she die?"

He will never forget how many times - the pretty little girl fell to the ground, her face a shocking dark red, tears falling in strings, but she was so frightened that she couldn't cry... or else she collapsed.

Under the rockery, my face was covered in blood. The ground next to me that should have been cleaned was covered with sand and gravel. The sharp stone tips made people scared...

Her white jade-like little hands tightly grasped the hem of her clothes, her eyes full of panic and confusion...

"If I hadn't noticed something was wrong and kept him by my side every day, I don't know if I could have saved my life." At that time, Mr. Xie was busy fighting against his aunt and concubine. Although he protected the yard well, there was no way to prevent it.

To the "inside thief".

Mrs. Xie was shocked by the hatred in her eldest son's eyes, and her mouth was full of bitterness. She knew she was sorry for her second son, but she also couldn't feel sorry for her eldest daughter. The birth of Guiyun was the most difficult time in her life - after she became pregnant, she usually

It didn’t take long for Fang to become pregnant successfully, but she gave birth to a daughter, while Fang Fang gave birth to the eldest son and raised his aunt. Although the eldest master and the third master’s family were separated, they still often came to the house to catch the autumn breeze...

Without giving birth to a son, it is natural that her waist cannot be straight and she has endured a lot of hardships. Naturally, she does not like her daughter much. However, the eldest daughter's appearance has taken after her husband's appearance, and she is quite ridiculed by her sisters... She often regrets it.

If you pay more attention to her and educate her well, how could she do such a crazy thing...

Cheng Xunggong vented a little, and then talked about another thing, "Back then, Master Gong entrusted the Gong family in the mansion, and the young man admired her, and she was in love with her... Mother must know about it, right?"

Xie didn't say anything, and he continued without waiting for an answer: "Of course you know, I originally wanted to discuss the book repair with Mrs. Gong, but we decided to wait until Mrs. Gong got married... It happened that Mr. Gong returned to Beijing and was promoted.

Just around the corner.”

"What happened later was not only because my father was unwilling, but you were also unwilling, and it was very obvious, otherwise Mr. Gong wouldn't have noticed it, and then left a letter and left..." After saying this, Cheng Xunggong felt uncomfortable.

He has feelings for Mr. Gong, but the love between brother and sister is more.

Even if she threw herself into his arms, he wouldn't marry her... Thinking about it now, Gong probably liked her second brother at the beginning, and getting close to her was just for convenience. After all, Brother Xun's official position was not obvious at that time.

And he not only has a small foundation in the north and in the capital, but he is also the confirmed next Duke...

Ms. Xie waved her hand tiredly, "Why did you mention her?"

Mother Yang poured a cup of tea, put it gently in Mrs. Xie's hand, and said softly: "It wouldn't be a big deal if we sent a few powerful mothers to follow Jiang's family." She also felt privately.

It's really inappropriate to go back to my parents' house like this, and I won't be laughed at.

"Second brother values ​​his family and doesn't want you to be in trouble..." Cheng Xungong's eyes were as sharp as knives and he said coldly: "If the eldest sister is still unwilling to return to the Jiang family, then I, the younger brother, will have to personally escort her."

Ms. Xie was helpless, what else could she say...

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Xie picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, licked her dry lips and said: "Gong's side... Brother Fan has settled down?"

Cheng Xungong said calmly: "No matter what Gong did, I will always do this for her."

"Since you have been protecting Brother Fan, why didn't you tell Mrs. Gong?" Mrs. Xie felt a little trembling when she thought of that rainy night, "If she knew, maybe..."

"I said it." Cheng Xunggong's expression remained unchanged, "I don't know if she didn't hear what I meant or if she didn't believe it."

Mr. Xie smiled bitterly, this is really destiny, you can't control it at all.

"Have you seen that child?" I vaguely remembered the round appearance of that child many years ago. Mrs. Gong was smiling at that time. Unfortunately, she didn't remember exactly what it looked like... It turned out that she had also been with her for so many years.

I have been avoiding thinking of...

Cheng Xunggong stood up, his tall and straight body feeling oppressive for a moment, "No need, I won't see you again anyway." After that, he bowed and strode out.

He was vaguely aware of the changes in the Gong family back then, but he didn't expect it to be so profound that it would lead to such a big crime... He couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong, who owed whom, and who had failed whom, but

It’s all over... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
