Chapter 268 Xiao Zhao's Choice

A few days later, Xiaoshan's incident reached Kyoto. Xiao Zhao was furious and pointed at Xiao Cheng who came to report the news and cursed: "...How did you become your brother? He actually became a domineering playboy."

Xiao Cheng lowered his head and let his father scold him.

When Xiao Zhao's voice gradually faded, Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "Dad, Shanxi left and right governors are all good friends with you, you might as well go back and take a look!"

Xiao Zhao looked east for a while, hesitated for a moment, and finally showed a resolute look on his face: "Since he dares to do it, he must dare to do it."

Xiao Cheng's face suddenly turned pale like paper, and he turned around and left without saying a word.

The eldest wife called Xiao Zhao in: "If you don't raise me, it's your father's fault. You'd better go back and take a look!"

Xiao Zhao had a bitter expression. He sat on the Grand Master's chair for a long time and did not move. He did not leave the Fourth Zhiyuan.

Master Zheng San couldn't help but feel a little furious when he saw this and looked for Chen Muqing: "Can the imperial doctor prescribe some prescriptions for replenishing qi and nourishing blood? My sister has been running outside since she was a child and has suffered a lot. Now that she is old this year, she still needs more maintenance with this condition."

Chen Muqing couldn't help but pour cold water on him: "You are not afraid that Master Xiao will see it."

Master Zheng San was very careless: "Some things are something that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten - it depends on what you think in your heart!"

"I have one set of things!" Chen Muqing really invited the imperial physician to see the eldest lady again.

The doctor was also very good. He diagnosed his pulse and asked the eldest wife if she had rheumatism.

The eldest lady was slightly stunned and nodded, "It feels a little uncomfortable when the weather changes, but it's okay on weekdays. It doesn't matter."

The doctor said nothing, and opened the prescription: "Take five rations first."

Chen Muqing naturally supported him by taking this opportunity to take care of his body and asked Yingfen to take medicine.

Xiao Zhao asked outside: "What's the disease?"

Master Zheng San replied: "It was said that he was too hard when he was young, but now he is in a state of failure and has many diseases."

After all, it was a sibling. The eldest lady glared at Master Zheng San and smiled and said, "It's rheumatism."

Xiao Zhao lifted the curtain and entered: "How come he got this disease?"

"When I was old, I often walked on the water, and later I made a living on the dock." Zheng Sanye rushed to say, "I will get this kind of illness. Otherwise, sister, please follow me to Sichuan? At the end of this disease, my fingers were swollen like steamed buns. Not to mention taking care of the children, it would be a problem for myself to eat. Xiaoqi is not at home, and Xiaoqi's wife is busy. Do you still let her serve your bedside every day?"

The eldest lady frowned and said to Xiao Zhao: "I will keep the third brother and talk to each other. You can go and go if you have something to do!"

Xiao Zhao and Shen Muqing went out, and then told her: "Go and see, what did the eldest lady say to Master Zheng San?"

Since the eldest wife talked to Master Zheng San, how could she eavesdrop on her own... and she had to tell Xiao Zhao the eavesdropping words.

Chen Muqing shook his head.

"I'm really ignorant!" Xiao Zhao blamed, "The eldest lady always interrupted her teeth and swallowed blood. She kept Mr. Zheng San to speak, but I'm afraid there was something important to explain. You go and listen. If there is anything, we can also help, so as not to always think she is busy working there."

Chen Muqing was stunned when he heard this.

Xiao Zhao seemed to know the eldest wife very well...

"Go quickly!" Xiao Zhao saw that she was still, and said angrily, "If the eldest lady asks, you will say that I asked her to go there. You will not let you bear the name of unfilial piety." At the end of the conversation, there was a hint of mockery in his tone.

For some reason, Chen Muqing remembered Xiao Sa when he first met...

She smiled and said to Xiao Zhaofu, lifted the curtain and entered the house. When she saw the serving in the main hall, she shook her head and signaled not to speak. Naturally, the maid and mother dared not speak, and Chen Muqing stood behind the curtain and listened.

"......... I have been able to cross the same boat for a hundred years, and have been able to sleep together for a thousand years. It is also a fate for me and his wife to be together. Don't you have to have another problem?"

"I'm fine!" Zheng Sanye said in a very aggrieved tone, "It's really that he won't go back!"

"How can I say you understand?" The eldest lady sighed, "You are not as good as Mu Qing. Mu Qing knows that I don't want to mention the past again, you still have to make a name out of nothing."

Chen Muqing couldn't help but feel ashamed - if he hadn't written that letter himself, how could he have led Xiao Zhao to come? But then again, if Xiao Zhao hadn't thought of it himself, even if he had written a hundred letters, he wouldn't have come...

As she thought, she heard the eldest lady advise Zheng Sanye: "Xiao Zhao was wrong in the past, and I didn't do it right. It became the situation today. It can only be said that we have no fate. Third brother, even if he made many mistakes, he is always Sa'er's father. Sa'er has finally come to this day, so it's fine if we elders don't give him a glory. Could it be that we still make some jokes that make people unable to see it?"

"Just according to my sister." Although Master Zheng San agreed, he did not feel comfortable. "I'll go and tell my brother-in-law now."

"Don't worry about this matter." The eldest lady said in a serious tone, "I'll tell Xiao Zhao. Go down! Think about what I just said."

Master Zheng San came out and was startled to see Chen Muqing standing behind the curtain.

Chen Muqing hurriedly blinked at him, and the two walked out quietly.

"You heard what happened just now?" Zheng Sanye didn't feel strange about Chen Muqing's behavior at all. "I just can't figure it out. Why should my sister give up such a good opportunity?"

"The eldest wife is old and think about living some of the life she wants to live." Chen Muqing defended the eldest wife, "No matter who is right or wrong, the eldest wife doesn't want to pursue the matter anymore. Master Zheng San, please follow the eldest wife and let her live some of the life she likes! Don't you also pity the eldest wife's past life too hard on weekdays."

Master Zheng lowered his head and said nothing.

Chen Muqing kept him there and thought about it, turning back to the eldest wife.

Knowing that Xiao Zhao asked Chen Muqing to eavesdrop, the eldest lady smiled and said, "I understand. You go and invite the master. You need the person who tied the bell to untie it. We will explain some things clearly in person, so that we will avoid misunderstandings in the future."

Chen Muqing nodded: "I'll go and invite the master now!"

When Xiao Zhao heard that the eldest wife asked him to go, he asked Chen Muqing: "Do you know what's going on? What did she and Master Zheng San say?" He seemed to be a little bit like a subordinate who went to see his superior and asked his secretary about his emotions.

Chen Muqing suddenly felt a little headache.

"When I went in, the eldest wife and Mr. Zheng San had finished talking." She didn't want to interfere in this matter, "I don't know why the eldest wife is looking for you!"

Xiao Zhao dusted off his clothes and then followed Chen Muqing to the eldest wife's place.

Chen Muqing naturally had no choice but to be offended there and listened to what the two of them said. After being blessed, he retreated.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of Dongji, he saw Master Zheng San standing beside the curtain where she had eavesdropped, waving to her, meaning to eavesdrop with him.

Chen Muqing was so amused that he was amused and cried, but he also wanted to know what the eldest wife and Xiao Zhao would say, so he tiptoed over.

"Speaking of this, you are in the north and I am in the east, and I haven't seen you for a long time!" Chen Muqing heard the eldest wife ask Xiao Zhao to sit down, "I'm sick, I'm very grateful that you can come from all the way to see me."

"The young couple is here for old age." Xiao Zhao's voice sounded a little cold, "I can't let you lie here alone!"

The eldest wife smiled slightly: "Anyway, I thank you very much for visiting me. I didn't have any serious illness. At first I suffered from wind and cold, and it was already cured. Later, the doctor diagnosed rheumatism again, which was also a disease that I had in the early years. As long as I pay attention to keeping warm, it is not a big deal. It was Xiaoshan's affairs and I couldn't delay it. You are the father and the backbone of the family. If you are not here, I don't know how frightened Cha Xiu and the children are. Go back and take a look!"

"Did your third brother tell you?" Xiao Zhao turned his back to them. They couldn't see his expression, but his tone of speaking was a bit dull.

The eldest lady nodded.

"But do you know, he killed someone? And he killed someone in a brothel!" Xiao Zhao's voice felt a little angry.

"Master." The eldest lady expressed her sincere expression, "I have seen Xiao Cheng and his brothers when they were young. They are all obedient and good children. So I advise you to go back and take a look-and-listen to what the children say!"

"You have seen Xiao Cheng when he was a child..."

The eldest lady nodded: "When I gave birth to Yunniang, Cha Xiu brought a few children to see me..."

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Zhao stood up with a "twist": "She actually came to see you... I've always been wondering, OK, why did you lose your child and go to Guangdong again..."

The eldest lady lowered her head: "We should not pursue the past events... Now Xiaoshan's affairs are important. A woman like Cha Xiu, you are not by her side, and such a big thing happened again. I don't know how to panic..."

Xiao Zhao answered the question that was wrong: "Yue Niang, why didn't you question me? I promised you that I wouldn't let Cha Xiu enter. She came to provoke you, why didn't you question me?" His voice was very sad.

The eldest lady stared at the teacup on the table: "What are you doing now? It's all the past!"

Chen Muqing saw Xiao Zhao's tall and straight body trembling slightly: "Yue Niang, why don't you go to settle the score with me? I'm sorry, why don't you go to settle the score with me?" His voice was very calm, but Chen Muqing felt a kind of sorrow that he couldn't explain.

The eldest wife didn't make any noise.

During the silence, Xiao Zhao suddenly waved his hand and the teacup box on the table fell to the ground.

"Why are you going crazy?" The eldest lady glared at Xiao Zhao, her face not very good-looking, "This is Nanxunfang, not your Caogang Zhongyitang."

Xiao Zhao looked at the eldest wife motionlessly.

Chen Muqing felt the corners of his eyes moist, and he couldn't help but lower his head, swept the curtain across the corner of his eyes, and saw Mingxia looking at her anxiously.

She made a gesture to Master Zheng San, who was also wet in the corners of her eyes, and then walked out of the house with Mingxia lightly.

"Uncle Xiao Cheng is here." Mingxia's face was a little pale, "I want to see the master! However, he was also carrying a woman, and in his behavior, he respected the woman very much. Grandma, see, could it be..."

Chen Muqing's heart was thrilled.

"Can she find this place?"

When I thought about it, I felt that it was not impossible.

When something happened in Xiaoshan, how could the mother sit still?

"Let's go and have a look!" Chen Muqing's expression was a little cold.
