help me?

Chen Shao was stunned for a moment.

"Actually speaking, it's all my wife who is helping me." He said after a moment of pondering.

"No, sir, you are overthinking. I had no intention of helping anyone before." Cheng Jiaoniang shook her head and said, "I was just doing my own thing."

So it has nothing to do with her who benefits from it.

She can still help people like this when she has no intention of helping others. What will happen if she really wants to help others?

Chen Shao looked at her, seemingly in disbelief. The woman sitting here was the same age as his daughter, but looking at all the things that had happened, she couldn't be treated with the eyes of a later-born child.

"Thank you very much, ma'am. Please tell me, ma'am." He said solemnly.

At this point, the outcome of this matter must be decided. The emperor cannot play the tricks of checks and balances and mix up different opinions like last time. He must be allowed to put an end to the military and political affairs in the northwest.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a joke for Zhou Fengxiang to sacrifice his life for justice?

"Don't delay the rewards for my brothers any longer. Please put them down immediately." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

Chen Shao was stunned for a moment, what?

Merit reward?

Did the topic they talked about change?

"The lady is talking about merit rewards?" he asked.

Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.

"Reward, hasn't the emperor already made a decision on this matter? Then please don't delay it any longer," she said.

So I helped her first before talking about anything else...

Chen Shao nodded in relief, this was what she deserved, and she deserved it. Although it would cause trouble to bring this up at this time, there was no problem.

"Okay." He said.

Chen Danniang was already standing a little impatiently.

"Mother Eighteen, I'm going to find my mother." she said.

Chen Shiba Niang quickly grabbed her.

"Wait a minute, she's about to come out, and that's Madam Cheng." She said.

Chen Danniang shook off her hand.

"It's not like I recognize you, Shiba Niang. If you want to see me, just wait by yourself. What are you afraid of?" She said, turning around and running away.

Chen Shiba Niang hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold her.

"What are you talking about? Why should I be afraid of you? Stop right now. Madam Cheng was the best to you back then, but you didn't even see her when she came..." she said.

The two sisters were pulling each other, and there was the sound of footsteps over there.

"Madam." the maid called.

Chen Shiba Niang and Chen Danniang stopped and turned around, seeing the servant woman leading a woman and a maid standing a few steps away.

Wearing a plain-colored skirt and a plain-colored blouse, she wore a wooden hairpin on her high-waisted hair and a small silver comb stuck to the side. After two years of not seeing each other, her face felt strange for a moment, but soon it overlapped with the features in her memory.

"Ms. Cheng." Chen Shiba Niang took a step forward with a smile on her face.

Cheng Jiaoniang nodded with a smile.

"Eighteenth lady." Banqin smiled and saluted.

"You..." Chen Shiba Niang said with a smile, but she didn't know what to say at the moment, "I, how about you go and sit at my place?"

Before Cheng Jiaoniang could speak, Chen Danniang, who had been looking at her with her head tilted, stepped forward.

"Are you Mrs. Cheng?" she asked.

Cheng Jiaoniang looked at her and smiled slightly.

"Are you Chen Danniang?" she asked.

"Yes, do you still recognize me?" Chen Danniang asked, shaking her head, "But I don't really recognize you anymore."

Chen Shiba Niang reached out and patted her.

"Danniang." She said angrily.

Cheng Jiaoniang smiled again.

"It doesn't matter, just meet her again." She said, giving a half salute, "I am Cheng Jiaoniang."

Chen Danniang smiled and stepped forward.

"I'm Chen Danniang," she said, lifting her skirt and curtsying.

Looking at the appearance of these two people, Chen Shiba Niang smiled a little, while the maids beside her laughed.

"...Sure enough, this lady still told the child to come here." A person said in a low voice.

After this joke, the embarrassment that was a little unfamiliar immediately dissipated.

"Well, I looked at it carefully and I kind of remembered it." Chen Danniang said, tilting her head.

Cheng Jiaoniang smiled slightly.

"Ms. Cheng, I'm here to wait for you. Let's go to the yard to talk." Chen Shiba said.

"No, I still have something to do, let's wait for another day." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

Is this shirk, or avoidance, or...

Chen Danniang's thoughts flashed through her mind for the first time, but she soon came to her senses and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang, who listened carefully to what Chen Danniang said, and couldn't help laughing at herself.

When this lady says something is going on, it means something is going on, and she has no other meaning.

Here, Cheng Jiaoniang saluted and stepped forward.

"Ms. Cheng." Chen Shiba Niang hurriedly followed, "I'll see you off."

Cheng Jiaoniang smiled and nodded.

Although we haven't seen each other for two years, nothing has changed at all. Mrs. Cheng still doesn't like to talk, but some people do.

"I'm not familiar with you, so I don't know what to say to you." Chen Danniang said.

"Me too." Cheng Jiaoniang nodded with a smile.

Chen Danniang's eyes suddenly lit up.

The servants in front and behind him laughed again.

This lady is very good at coaxing children.

"However, I think we should have something to say." Chen Danniang followed her and said happily.

"It's actually easy, just say whatever you want." Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.

Seeing the excitement of this freshman novel, Chen Shiba Niang was one step behind.

"It's not familiar. Isn't this the same as before?" She shook her head and said.

The carriage was already waiting at the door, and Banqin helped Cheng Jiaoniang get into the carriage.

Chen Shiba Niang, who had been silent all this time, took a step forward.

"Ms. Cheng," she said, "it will be fine."

"Yes, it will be fine." Cheng Jiaoniang nodded with a smile.

Watching the carriage leave, Chen Shiba Niang was still a little uneasy, so she sent away the chattering Chen Danniang. When she came to her grandfather, she saw that her father was also there.

"Father, is Mrs. Cheng here to ask for your help?" She asked directly. Without waiting for Chen Shao's answer, she asked with a bit of pleading, "Father, please help her."

Chen Shao laughed when he heard this, but his smile was a little weird.

"She is here to help me." He said.

Chen Shiba Niang was startled, thinking she heard wrongly.

"Helping you, father?" she asked, "What can I help you with, father?"

Give merit rewards to the Maoyuanshan brothers.

Chen Shao said in his heart that it wasn't that he didn't want to tell his daughter, but that it didn't make sense no matter what.

Who is helping whom?

"She helped you." Old Mrs. Chen thought for a moment and said, looking at Chen Shao's serious expression, "Sometimes I can help you, which is the greatest help to you."

Help is the greatest help? What does this mean?

Chen Shiba Niang turned to look at her father, who nodded slowly when she saw a complicated look on her face.

If you don't even allow help, then that's complete separation.
