Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 668 Sure enough, even if my father and mother come back, what will happen?
Mrs. Cheng worked alone in the fields and raised her three sons. She was well aware of the hardships of hard life and had enjoyed wealth for more than ten years. How could she be willing to give it up? She shook her head:

"No, I don't want it."

Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi were walking on the way to Cheng Shaoshang.

"If it hadn't been for Xu Xian's warning before, I'm afraid there would have been several more troubles based on my mother's temperament."

"It finally makes me feel relieved to have such a good friend."

Xiao Yuanyi said pointedly:
"In my opinion, the relationship between Niao Niao and Xu Xian is not as simple as good friends. If it is true as Lian Fang said, they are just ordinary friends."

"Then how could Xu Xian be so familiar with Niao Nuo's experiences from childhood to adulthood?"

"And the way Niao Niao took Xu Xian's carriage back to the capital today without any hesitation, spoke up for Niao Niao, and understood her character very well. It can be seen that the depth of their friendship is far beyond our imagination."

Cheng Shi looked surprised:
"What the lady means is that they."

He immediately shook his head:
"No, we owe Niao Niao a lot. How can we let her get married so quickly? I absolutely disagree."

Xiao Yuanyi spoke slowly:
"The matter has not been confirmed yet, why should the general be so excited?"

Not long after, the two of them walked softly together and walked into a bedroom. They saw Cheng Shaoshang sleeping on the bed with a pale face.

Cheng Shi quietly sat on the couch, frowned at his daughter's pitiful appearance, and sighed:
"We can't help but feel sorry for you. Look at her lips, which are so white that there is no blood at all. She has suffered so much at home."

Xiao Yuanyi leaned closer, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she found fine residue on Cheng Shaoshang's cheek, as if it was the remains of something he had eaten.

Suddenly, Cheng Shaoshang's eyelids moved and she seemed to wake up. She opened her eyes full of admiration and stood up with difficulty.

Cheng Shi quickly helped him:
"Niao Niao, you are sick and weak, please don't move too much."

Cheng Shaoshang whispered:
"My father and mother are worried. This is the first time that my father and mother have seen me since Niao Niao became sensible. In the past, we have never performed filial piety in front of our knees. Today we should complete these etiquettes."

After she finished speaking, she put her right hand on her left hand, pulled down her sleeves to cover her arms, raised her hands to her forehead, bowed down on the couch, and said:

"Father and mother are well."

Cheng Shi felt heartbroken and said hurriedly:
"Okay, okay, you're still sick, so there's no need for these false courtesy."

After hearing this, Cheng Shaoshang was about to stand up, but her body fell to the ground involuntarily. Fortunately, Xiao Yuanyi's eyesight and quick hands helped her.

When Cheng Shi saw this, he blew his beard angrily and stared:

"My family, Niao Niao, is so ill, and she is very polite. However, Ge Shi wrongly accused her of being naughty and stubborn. It is simply too much to bully others."

After Xiao Yuanyi helped Cheng Shaoshang back to lie down on the couch, out of the corner of his eye he suddenly noticed a bracelet on her wrist that did not look like an ordinary thing, and couldn't help but ask:

"What is this jade bracelet?"

Cheng Shaoshang opened his sleeves generously, with a smile on his lips:
"This is Xu Xian's birthday gift to me. Does it look good?"

When the two heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Immediately, Cheng Shi smiled and complimented:

"It's so beautiful. It's the perfect match for my Niao Niao."

Xiao Yuanyi said softly:

"Niao Niao, it's getting late now, so you can rest up. Your father and I will come to see you tomorrow."

Cheng Shaoshang nodded weakly and immediately pretended to sleep with his eyes closed.

After the door closed, their questions about Lian Fang were faintly heard. Cheng Shaoshang opened his eyes suddenly and listened attentively.

Xiao Yuanyi asked aloud:
"Did Ge Shi ever seek medical treatment for Niao Niao?"

Lianfang replied: "Mrs. Zhong said that the child will be cured after a few days of fever, so she has been ignoring him. Over the years, we have been sent to the countryside from time to time."

"The head of the family is struggling to survive in front of the battle, but the young master has not spent even a cent. Not only does he lack food and clothing, he even has no one to take care of him when he is sick. We are left to fend for ourselves."

Xiao Yuanyi asked:
"Then why would you send Niao Nuo to the countryside to fend for yourself for no reason?"

As Xiao Yuanyi's personal maid specially assigned to take care of Cheng Shaoshang, Lianfang did not dare to hide anything:
"Mrs. Zhong has been married to the Cheng family for more than ten years and has no children, so she thought of adopting her mother's ten-year-old nephew Yao Ge. She brought Yao Ge to live in the house a few days ago."

She paused slightly:
"The young lady was also kind-hearted and gave him a gourd of honey as a snack. Unexpectedly, when the gourd opened, it attracted wild bees."

"Yao Ge's head was covered in wild bee stings, so Mrs. Zhong asked the young master to temper his temper. Now is the time when dripping water turns into ice, so he got sick and caught wind and cold."

Cheng Shi was furious when he heard this:

"This Ge family is very vicious. My second brother should really let her divorce her."

Xiao Yuanyi asked calmly:
"Did Brother Yao open the gourd filled with honey, or did Niao Niao open it himself?"

Cheng Shaoshang in the room raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"The young master opened it."

Suddenly, Xiao Yuanyi's profound voice came again:

"A ten-year-old child can't even open the lid by himself, and he still wants to open it. Why don't he eat honey in the house, but in a place where wild bees can attract?"

She seemed to be telling someone on purpose:
"There are some things that you either don't do, or you do it properly to avoid being blamed."

Xiao Yuanyi first asked Lian Fang to retreat, and then said:

"It's getting late. Doesn't the general want to visit his second brother?"

Cheng Shi had been married to her for many years, so he understood the meaning of the words and was thinking about the affairs in the inner house. He couldn't interfere in it, so he said:
"I gonna go see."

After a while, Qing Yuan on the side said:

"The queen has left a caring person beside the young master, but I didn't expect that she would be tricked by that Ge family."

"It is said that illness goes away like a thread, but the young master is so damaged now. I don't know how long it will take for him to recover."

Xiao Yuanyi said quietly:

"Now that I'm back, these things will definitely not happen again. However, it is worth mentioning that she fainted today at the right time. It just gave us an excuse to find fault with Jun Gu."

Qing Yuan replied:

"The queen was very thoughtful and deliberately delayed her return date by half a month. They didn't have time to cover it up, and the truth was really revealed."

"These people hate the female queen, so they turn their anger on the female master and treat her so harshly."

Xiao Yuanyi's tone was sad:

"It's better for the little girl to be gentle and respectful. Her temperament is really different from other little girls. I don't know if I can teach her well in the following days. If not, I will have to wait for her husband's family to teach her well. .”

At this moment, Cheng Shaoshang in the room had a look of dismay in his eyes, and he thought to himself:

"My mother-in-law is jealous. She may have noticed that I was pretending to be faint. It turns out that she didn't know that I was suffering at home all these years. She just let it go on purpose."

"Also, now instead of disciplining those who bully me, they are thinking of disciplining me."

"Sure enough, even if my father and mother come back, so what, I don't have to do everything by myself."
