It's meant to be."

Madam Dong's tears fell and she covered her face with her hands.

"Let's go, Si Niang, forget it." Mr. Dong said, turning around and walking away first.

Is it all fate?

Madam Dong looked down at the skirt ring hanging from her waist. It was not gold, silver or jade, but a piece of stone polished.

She reached out and picked it up, rubbing it in her palms.

This is the only thing that Brother Xu has given to me since they met. No, it is not a gift, it is something that I forced...

Suddenly, someone suddenly knocked her down.

Madam Dong groaned, and the stone ring in her hand fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

"You!" Madam Dong raised her eyebrows and shouted, looking beside her.

The two young children backed away somewhat timidly.

"Mother..." they shouted weakly, "we didn't mean it..."

Madam Dong looked at them and finally sighed, forcing out a smile.

"It's okay," she said, reaching out to hold the hands of her two sons, "Let's go in the car, and grandpa will take us out to play."

Seeing that their mother was not angry and told them to go out to play, the two children cheered happily and jumped out holding Madam Dong's hand.

People and cars came and went in the yard, and the stone rings that fell to the ground were quickly trampled, crushed and mixed with dust.

"The family who poured Yexiang ran away."

Zhou Lang said, looking at Cheng Jiaoniang standing in the corridor.

"Do you want to chase him back? Or kill him on the spot?"

"You make the decision yourself." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

Saturday Lang frowned.

"How can I make the decision in your affairs?" he said.

Cheng Jiaoniang put down the pen in her hand.

The maid took away the paper she had written on and let it dry.

"Since it's my business, why do you need to ask more questions?" Cheng Jiaoniang said.

"Can't you speak properly?" Saturday Lang said with a glare.

Cheng Jiaoniang stood up.

"It's you who doesn't talk to me properly," she said.

What a mess!

Saturday Lang snorted and raised his hands.

"Then can Qin Shisan talk to you properly?" he asked later.

Cheng Jiaoniang ignored it and stepped out of the study. Behind her, the maid had already hung up the words she had written today.

Even these days, Cheng Jiaoniang has not changed her daily routine, writing, practicing archery and taking a nap as usual.

The only person who can do this is an old man who has experienced all the vicissitudes of life.

Or, as the lady herself said, she has no heart, so she just does things that are not right for others, and is ruthless and insensitive.

"Qin Shisan...what did you do in private?" Zhou Lang asked.

"We are just talking," Cheng Jiaoniang said.

"Speak? What words can you say that can change things in the DPRK so much?" Zhou Lang said.

"That's ridiculous." Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him and said.

This is the look! This is the look!

Back then, this idiot sitting in the hall of the Cheng family looked at me like this!

Zhou Lang gritted his teeth and stared.

"Get the car ready." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

Brother Jin responded and ran out to rent a car.

"Where are you going?" Zhou Lang asked.

"Blacksmith shop." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

Blacksmith shop? Why go to a place like that?

"You're not worried at all about those deserters? They haven't been released yet." Zhou Lang said, "You're so confident."

Cheng Jiaoniang turned to look at him again.

"Isn't it your father who handles these things?" she said.

So I trust you and trust my uncle to succeed immediately?

Saturday Lang had a stiff face.

"So, why don't you talk to me properly?" Cheng Jiaoniang said another word, turned around and walked away.

So, always say stupid, ridiculous, unnecessary, nonsense.

This Jiangzhou idiot!

Zhou Lang gritted his teeth and looked at the woman's back.

"Hey, what did you do with Qin Shisan this time?"

He raised his feet to catch up.

At the same time, Qin Shisan was stopped by his father as he was about to walk out.

"Thirteen, what did you do this time?" Qin Shijiao asked.

"What did you do?" Qin Shisanlang asked with some confusion.

"How many times have you been to the government office..." Qin Shizong ignored his son's pretense and continued, twirling his beard lightly, "...Is it because of the Zhou family's affairs again?"

Qin Shisanlang smiled and nodded.

"Yes, father, Taipingju has something to do with the Zhou family after all. Those deserters are one of the owners of Taipingju and Shenxianju written in black and white. If something happens, the Zhou family will not be able to escape the relationship.

"He said, "I didn't do anything else, I just inquired about some news from the adults in the court..."

Speaking of which, I felt a little uneasy.

"Father, I didn't cause you any trouble, did I?"

Qin Shitou shook his head and looked at his son.

"You didn't cause me any trouble." He said, "It's just..."

"Just what? Father, please tell me." Qin Shisanlang said seriously.

Qin Shidao looked at his son, wondering whether he was puzzled or he hesitated to speak.

"How on earth did you do it?" he asked suddenly.

This nonsense made Qin Shisanlang stunned.

"How did you do that?" he asked, looking confused.

Qin Shidao could completely ignore his son's confused look.

"It was clear that the winner was about to be decided, but why did Mr. Jiangzhou suddenly intervene and make it impossible to win or lose?" he asked.

Qin Shisanlang looked at his father.

"Father, are you asking me?" he asked with a wink, and straightened his expression as he spoke, with some thought, "I think everything is the Holy Will after all."

Qin Shidao looked at his son for a moment

"It's really strange. The last time you went to the government office several times because of the Zhou family's affairs, Liu Xiaoli suddenly fell ill. This time, you went to the government office several times because of the Zhou family's affairs. What Chen Shao and Gao Lingbo had planned for a long time turned out to be the result.

Unexpectedly..." he said with a half-smile.
