Cheng Qiniang screamed and sat up, only to realize that it was already dawn.

Not on a carriage, not in an inn or a restaurant, nor in the private residences of officials whose names they cannot name.

This room is beautifully furnished and warm as spring.

This is the home in Beijing where she stayed yesterday, the home arranged by that silly sister.

The house is very big, and just by looking at it in a daze, it can be said to be exquisite. This must be a mansion, but because of the sudden incident yesterday, no one was in the mood to look at this house...

She didn't even know when she fell asleep.

As she sat up, footsteps could be heard outside the tent.

"Seventh Lady." The servant woman hurried over and looked at Cheng Qiniang who was sitting up to comfort her.

Cheng Qiniang pushed them away, crawled to the window and opened it.

The cold wind blew against her face, making Cheng Qiniang shiver. She also saw the courtyard clearly. It was small but had an atmosphere that was different from the home in the south that she was familiar with.

This is the capital city, this is the capital city where that silly sister lives.

"Seventh lady, you can't let the wind blow when you wake up." The servants hurriedly pulled her back and closed the window again.

Cheng Qiniang stretched out her hand to stop her.

"Fourth brother." She shouted loudly.

Everyone looked outside following her gaze and saw a young man stepping into the courtyard gate.

"Fourth brother."

Cheng Qiniang simply pulled up her hair, changed into some clothes, and ran out.

Cheng Silang, who was waiting in the hall, smiled and saluted.

"I just came here today because I went to the academy. Is my sister still used to living here? I..." he said.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cry from Cheng Qiniang.

"Fourth brother, daddy has been taken away!" she cried.

Cheng Silang was a little embarrassed and tried to comfort him.

"No, it's not that he was captured. It's like asking for forgiveness while standing on a bush." ​​He said.

When Master Cheng entered the capital, his daughter and his uncle personally welcomed him. Outside the city gate, Master Zhou rebuked Master Cheng in public and personally sent Master Cheng to the Yushitai.

During this journey, Mr. Zhou did not shy away from others and walked swaggeringly through the streets, so the news had already spread throughout the country.

But this intention is for Mr. Cheng's benefit. After all, his impeachment has been mentioned by Feng Lin. Although Feng Lin is gone, this matter cannot be written off, otherwise sooner or later it will be picked up again as an attack.

, so there must be an end.

Asking for guilt is naturally the best way to express one's stance, although what Mr. Zhou did was a bit exaggerated.

Cheng Qiniang didn't understand or listen to this at all, hiding her face and crying.

"She harmed daddy on purpose. She wanted to kill daddy," she cried.

Cheng Silang didn't like hearing this.

"Qiniang." He said with a straight face, "How can you talk like that? Do you know that my uncle's behavior almost killed her? She was yelled at and beaten. This was all because of his improper behavior and being used by others.

My dear, it is better for my uncle to be sent to the Yushitai by Mr. Zhou than to be arrested by the Yushitai."

"What's more, the eldest sister also lived in Yushitai, and she was arrested as a girl."

"You, how can you confuse right and wrong and accuse her instead?"

Cheng Qiniang was stunned by the shout.

The room was quiet for a moment.

"Fourth brother, you don't like me anymore, you only like her."

Cheng Qiniang cried again.

Cheng Silang was dumbfounded by what he said, and just as he was about to persuade him again, a girl ran in happily.

"Master is back," she said.

A warm towel was applied to her face. Although the girl had made the slightest move, Mr. Cheng Er still took a breath of cold air, raised his hand and slapped the girl.

"roll."

The girl covered her face and hurriedly backed away without saying anything.

Mrs. Cheng Er reached out to take the towel and personally gave Mr. Cheng Er a hot compress.

"This person named Zhou is really ruthless." She said angrily.

When Mr. Cheng heard the word Zhou, he thought of the humiliation he had suffered.

"He is relying on the strength of his numbers, so he should bring more people here." He said angrily.

Thinking of the ferocious followers in Mr. Zhou's family, and thinking of those weak and weak followers in his own family who were kicked away by others, Mr. Cheng's teeth itched with hatred.

It's really like being bullied by a dog!

"Master, don't worry, the people from my mother's family are about to arrive." Mrs. Cheng Er said hurriedly.

"What's the point of coming now!" Mr. Cheng Er was even more annoyed and threw the handkerchief on the plate, "How about you enjoy being an uncle?"

"We couldn't come with them at that time." Mrs. Cheng Er said, "We are still walking so slowly, and we are constantly buying things along the way. If we really want them to come with us, we might not be able to make it until next year.

.”

When he heard the words "buy things", Mr. Cheng stood up straight.

"Those things!" he said.

Along the way, wherever they passed, officials and gentry came to visit one after another. In addition to providing them with good food and accommodation, and allowing them to travel around the mountains and rivers and watch plays, they also gave them gifts before leaving.

I have accumulated enough for a car.

These things were very close to Mrs. Cheng's heart, so she nodded hurriedly when she heard this.

"Here they are, well put away. We didn't have time to make new clothes quickly, so we saved them for making spring shirts. There are also some that you put away just in time for the New Year. We saved a lot of money..."

"She said her arrangement with great joy.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mr. Cheng Er.

"Anything you give me as a gift will be taken away!" he shouted.

Mrs. Cheng Er was stunned.

Being asked to leave?

That's her thing! Who can take it away?

While they were talking, there was a commotion outside the door.

"Hurry up, hurry up, move things and leave..."

A deafening sound sounded.

Mrs. Cheng Er walked quickly to the door and saw a group of fierce followers pouring in. The people dispersed, and Master Zhou walked out of it.

It's him again!

"Master!" Mrs. Cheng Er looked at Master Cheng Er in horror, "What is he going to do again?"

Mr. Cheng Er's eyes were splitting with anger and his red eyes were staring at Mr. Zhou who was standing in the yard with his arms akimbo and belly, as if he had returned to the imperial censor's platform.

"...Is that all?" Mr. Zhou asked with his hands on his hips, "Just borrowing a few stage horses and eating a few meals?"

He said this and raised the riding crop in his hand.

"Say!" he shouted.

Mr. Cheng Er was frightened and took two steps back, trembling. However, several censors next to him hurriedly stepped forward to stop Mr. Zhou.

"Master Zhou, please calm down, Master Zhou. If you have something to say, please speak it carefully." They said randomly.

What is this!

Those who are sent to the Yushitai must be protected by the Yushitai.

Mr. Cheng Er was angry and anxious.

"Don't be so harsh. Every detail of what you did has been reported!" Mr. Zhou was filled with indignation and paced back and forth with his horse whip in his hand. "Why did our Zhou family have such an embarrassing person like you?"

Something!”

The ghosts belong to your Zhou family!

Mr. Cheng Er was furious.

"Lord Zhou, calm down and tell me what you have to say." The censors advised him again, forgetting their identities.

"It's not easy to return the gifts that have been received."

After thinking about it for a while, a censor said.
