Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 667 If you hadn’t developed a thorny character, you probably wouldn’t have been able to wait for your parents.

Cheng Shi carried Cheng Shaoshang back to the room, but Cheng Shaoshang couldn't help but squint one eye and look at Mrs. Cheng and Ge Shi proudly.

As a result, all this happened to be seen by Xiao Yuanyi, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, which were originally full of worry and guilt.

Yang Jiao outside the compound saw everything and really didn't know what to say.

At this moment, he was using illusion to cover up his sense of existence, so that he could watch from beginning to end without anyone noticing.

Yang Jiao coughed lightly and walked into the courtyard unhurriedly. He held his hands in a friendly gesture:

"Xu Xian and Xu Hanwen are good friends of Shao Shang, and they happened to be acquainted with General Ling. He asked me to remind the Cheng family that Dong Cang is in charge of corrupt military weapons. The evidence is conclusive. Tell Captain Cheng not to do anything that harms the country, otherwise the king will The law is ruthless.”

Xiao Yuanyi looked at Yang Jiao, who was extremely graceful and graceful, and looked startled. At this moment, Mrs. Cheng stood up quickly with her hands and feet as if she was sitting up in shock as if she was dying of illness.

"My younger brother must have been wrongly accused. Young Master, you must let that General Ling find out."

Yang Jiao said calmly:
"General Ling has always been impartial in handling cases. He will neither wrongly accuse a good person nor let a bad person go. Don't worry."

He paused slightly:
"Those who dare to harbor criminals will be implicated in the crime. If it hadn't been for Shao Shang, I'm afraid not only Captain Cheng would have been captured, but also few people present would have been able to escape their involvement."

Gurdjieff said harshly:
"According to what you say, the fourth lady caused her uncle to be arrested. Not only was she not wrong, but she also had some merit?"

Yang Jiao ignored it and looked at Mrs. Cheng:

"Old madam, could it be that you really can't bear to let the wealth that Colonel Cheng fought for in a sea of ​​blood turn into nothing, or do you want to pay for it with Captain Cheng's life?"

"It should be noted that you are already the wife of the Cheng family, and Guan Dong Cang is the son of the Dong family. Although they are siblings, they worship different ancestors."

"If the old lady still wants to save her brother, she might as well take a look at the scars all over her body left by Colonel Cheng's battles on the battlefield over the years."

"That's it. I hope the old lady will take it seriously."

Yang Jiao's eyes fell on Xiao Yuanyi:
"Without a father, a mother, and no shame, Cheng Shaoshang is disgraced. Due to this situation since he was a child, Shaoshang was instilled with the idea that he was abandoned by his parents."

"I wanted to eat a candy but I was called a thief. In the end, I had to pick up the trampled candy from the ground, lick it and cry secretly."

When he said this, Lian Fang's eyes turned red, and even Qing Yuan frowned, while Xiao Yuanyi only felt a prick in his heart. Only Mrs. Cheng and Ge Shi looked a little embarrassed.

"So, she has a temperament that requires retribution, but if she hadn't developed a temperament full of spikes, she probably wouldn't be able to wait for her parents."

"My wife is a decisive female general on the battlefield. She is accustomed to military orders. She is even more accustomed to using majestic intimidation, iron-blooded methods, and severe punishment to face the enemy, her subordinates, and to teach her children."

"But Shao Shang is not Madam's enemy on the battlefield, nor is he a subordinate in the army, nor is he a son who was brought up by one hand and taught through severe punishment since childhood."

"So I hope Madam will understand the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and take my leave."

Yang Jiao turned around and left, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He always followed the same code when doing things. After all, Cheng Shaoshang was not a real Su Qingyi, so he couldn't do anything involving innocent people.

Xiao Yuanyi looked at his leaving figure and couldn't help but ask:
"Lianfang, what is the relationship between Mr. Xu and Niao Niao? What is his origin?"

Lianfang sobbed:
"Female gentleman, if it weren't for Young Master Xu, I'm afraid that Young Master Xu wouldn't be able to survive today. More than two years ago, Young Master Xu came to the city for an outing to get acquainted with us."

"He saw that the young lady was good at carpentry, so he gave her food and money to make some objects for her."

"As time went by, we developed a friendship. In the past two years or so, thanks to Mr. Xu's care, life has not been as difficult as it was in the past few years."

"As for his origin, he is said to be Cui Hou's cousin."

A hint of deep meaning appeared in Xiao Yuanyi's eyes:
"Niao Niao and Mr. Xu are really just ordinary friends?"

Lian Fang remembered his young master's instructions and couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Cheng and Ge Shi next to him, and nodded:

"good."

Xiao Yuanyi noticed her little move and understood that it must not be that simple, but since there were other people present, he did not go into details.

evening.In the Cheng Mansion, Mrs. Cheng's cries of great regret could be heard in the lobby.

"Dalang. Dalang! My mother asked you to go to war because she wanted you to earn gold and silver for your military exploits. She didn't want you to risk your life in exchange."

Mrs. Cheng looked at the criss-cross scars on Cheng Shi's arms and burst into tears.

Cheng Shi sighed:

"On the battlefield, the sword is the life of a soldier, but there are always some evil-hearted people who take fake weapons that fall apart at a touch, secretly replace them with good weapons, sell them, and the child has been in danger several times, all because of this. "

Mrs. Cheng became even more distraught upon hearing this, while Xiao Yuanyi sat quietly in the lobby.

At this moment, a maid walked in and saluted:

"Old madam, Madam Dong would like to see you."

Mrs. Cheng's expression condensed and she gritted her teeth and said:

"Well, it's good that she's here."

She stood up and ordered:
"Please come in."

"Yes."

Cheng Shi immediately acted as if he would not embarrass his mother:

"My aunt must be embarrassing my mother because of my uncle's affairs. It's all because of the child's incompetence and humble official position. Even if I go to beg Ling Buyi, he may not be willing to let my uncle go. Why don't I go and take the blame tomorrow and just talk about Uncle Dong?" Those who guard and steal are all doing so under the orders of the children."

"Then the child was beheaded and replaced with Uncle Dong. Our Cheng family was confiscated and replaced with the Dong family."

What Old Mrs. Cheng heard was that her heart was twitching continuously. This was her son who was raised by her own hands. The wealth of the whole family was earned by her eldest son with his life. How could it be like this?

But before she said anything, an ecstatic female voice came:

"Great, oh, what a great idea."

A woman in red with her bun covered with gold ornaments walked up to Mrs. Cheng with a smile on her face:

"My nephew is a high official. Even if he has committed a crime, the emperor will be more lenient. At most, he will be fined."

"Sister, I think it's better to let my nephew take the blame."

After saying this, both Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi looked at the woman in red with disbelief.

"Snapped!"

Mrs. Cheng couldn't bear it and gave the woman in red a slap in the face:

"You vicious woman, how dare you want to harm my child. It's dusk today and there is no smoke from the chimney at home. I felt something was wrong, so I specifically asked the old god for instructions. You actually said that my Cheng family will be implicated by relatives, causing unrest in the house. "

"Now that I see it, the old god's instructions are indeed correct. Our Cheng family is really going to die in your hands."

She angrily pointed out:

"Everyone in your family is not a good person. Come here, push this vicious woman out. I will break the legs of anyone who dares to let her in."

When the woman in red was carried out by two slaves, she still shouted:
"Sister, it's obviously my nephew who said it himself. He said he wanted to take the blame."

Cheng Shi stood up and walked to Mrs. Cheng, sighing:

"This is the result of my mother-in-law listening and believing every day. My mother-in-law was instigated by people like my aunt, thinking that they are the best and closest to me, but my family members were deceived and bullied."

"Yuan Yi and I have worked hard over the years to seek credit for our Cheng family's stable life. Will all of this have to be thrown away because of Uncle Dong's sins?"
