Chapter 145 Part 10. Coveting Family Wealth
Facing Madam's series of inquiries, Tian Erya said in a calm and unhurried manner: "It is understandable that Madam is not clear. On the day Zheng Yuansheng was dispatched to Ninggu Pagoda and left the provincial capital, you, as the main wife of the Zheng family, , Zheng Yuansheng's aunt did not see him off, nor did she see the two of us get married on the spot."

Madam's face flushed red: "Are you slandering me for being unreasonable?"

"Ma'am, I'm just worrying, I'm just answering your question truthfully."

"You unreasonable wild girl!" Madam squeezed the handkerchief tightly, "How presumptuous!"

Zheng Zongde said: "Tian Erya, what do you want from me?"

"Master, do you have any news about the fourth young master? How is he?"

"In what capacity are you questioning me?"

Tian Erya was taken aback: "Master, I'm not here to question you, I just care about Zheng Yuansheng."

"Why do you care about him?" Zheng Zongde looked at him contemptuously, "My wife just said very clearly that you and Zheng Yuansheng have no engagement, and the marriage was not approved by your parents. The Zheng family did not accept you as a daughter-in-law. You have no reason to shout at the Zheng family. Small call."

In the past, Tian Erya would timidly bow her head and leave.But this time, she didn't back down.On the way to Zheng's house, she predicted all kinds of embarrassments she would face and was prepared in her heart.She gave a gift: "Master, if you don't accept me, I have no choice but to call you that. I made it clear just now, if you go to send Zheng Yuansheng off that day..."

"Shut up." Zheng Zongde interrupted her sharply, "Don't tell me why I didn't send my son off that day. I can't accept such a tragic father and son parting scene. Now, Yuan Sheng's whereabouts are unknown, and your marriage is not counted. You didn't delay your youth, go home and marry someone else!
"No, I won't marry someone else, I'm going to find Zheng Yuansheng and bring him back."

Zheng Zongde and his wife stared at each other incredulously.

Steward Lu blinked his eyes, thinking that the master and wife, as well as the young masters and young wives of each house, would like to get rid of Zheng Yuansheng. This silly girl has really stayed in the country for a long time, and she has no brains and doesn't know how to judge the situation.

Zheng Zongde frowned: "Tian Erya, did I hear you right? You said you were going to find Zheng Yuansheng?"

"Correct."

"Going to Ninggu Tower?"

"Yes."

"Don't say such whimsical words anymore, Ninggu Tower is thousands of miles away from here, how do you get there?"

Tian Erya had already planned: "There are some businessmen in our county who have been to Ninggu Pagoda to do business. I can ask them about the route I have been to, and I can follow it."

Zheng Zongde felt unreliable: "They are all men, how can you go out alone as a woman?"

"I can also dress up like them and go out. I am determined to find Zheng Yuansheng. If I can't bring him back, I will never return."

Madam sneered: "Zheng Yuansheng is a prisoner of the imperial court, you still want to bring him back?"

Tian Erya's attitude was firm: "I will wait for him to come back together. If he can't come out, I will wait for him in Ninggu Tower."

"If you want to go, why do you still come to Zheng's house?"

"Master, madam, I have a long way to go to Ninggu Pagoda this time, and I don't need money. I hope that the master and madam will help me with money, so that I can get there safely, and make some connections so that Zheng Yuansheng can come out."

Zheng Zongde suddenly smiled: "So that's the case. You are desperate to marry Yuan Sheng, so you are coveting my family's property. Delusion! As long as I am here, you will never want to take a penny from the Zheng family."

Tian Erya knelt down: "Master, I don't want money for anything else, but to find Zheng Yuansheng. I have calculated carefully, and it will take at least three years to find Zheng Yuansheng if I sell scissors alone. If I I will go to see Zheng Yuansheng after a year, and I am afraid I will never see him again. Please do me a favor and help me to see him, maybe my going there can just change his fate!"

Zheng Zongde hesitated.

Madam said coldly: "We have sent people to inquire clearly. Zheng Yuansheng has run into the deep mountains and old forests where wild animals are infested. Now his whereabouts are unknown, and his life is likely to hang by a thread. If we give you the money, who knows what you will do with the money?"

Tian Erya raised her hand and swore: "When I get the money, I will definitely go to Zheng Yuansheng. The two of us have made a promise for the rest of our lives, and I will never run away with the money."

"What you said is so sweet, but you just want money. The master has already spoken, and he will definitely not give you a penny. Don't make trouble for yourself, and leave the Zheng family immediately." Madam signaled Steward Lu with her eyes.

Steward Lu got the order and brought a few servants to Tian Erya's side: "Miss Tian, ​​do you want to go by yourself, or let them drag you out?"

Tian Erya knelt down to Zheng Zongde again: "Master, please help me find Zheng Yuansheng, please."

Zheng Zongde closed his eyes.

Madam waved her hand, and several servants went to pull Tian Erya.

Tian Erya pushed them away and said loudly: "Master, it's fine even if you don't support me, but please give me the share of the property that Zheng Yuansheng should inherit."

Zheng Zongde opened his eyes in surprise: "Say it again, what do you want?"

"Master, I want you to give us the share of the property that Zheng Yuansheng will inherit in advance, and let me control it now."

The madam's eyeballs almost fell out: "Tian Erya, what nonsense are you talking about? Zheng Yuansheng is just a scholar? He hasn't done anything for his family. Where did he get his fortune?"

"He is a member of the Zheng family and a legitimate son under your name. Naturally, he should have a share of the Zheng family's property."

Zheng Zongde looked at Tian Erya seriously with a livid face, without saying a word.

The madam pointed at Tian Erya's nose: "You are so brave to ask for the property of Zheng's family? Someone, beat her out for me."

"Master, madam, Zheng Yuansheng is in a very bad situation right now. His life is at stake. No one from your Zheng family has come forward to save him. I am willing to do whatever it takes to save him. Just give me some money as travel expenses!"

Madam stood up, with a gloomy face, "What a cunning and cunning girl, she wants to share the property of Zheng's family, and then she uses bitter tricks to pretend to be pitiful here. You are really scheming, I underestimated you before."

Tian Erya shook her head: "Ma'am, I don't have too many thoughts, I just want to save Zheng Yuansheng. Zheng's family is very rich, and they are also a family of benevolent people with a radius of hundreds of miles. Is it true that they can't afford the travel expenses for Ninggu Pagoda? Or are you afraid of messing with him?" Trouble, don't you want to save the Zheng family?"

Madam pointed at her angrily and scolded: "Spray dung all over your mouth! You have come up with countless tricks to extract money from our family. If you fail to achieve your goal, you will slander my family's reputation. It is really abhorrent. If you don't keep talking, I will be torn apart!" rot your mouth."

"Ma'am, if you want to commit a crime, why is there no excuse? I just want to save Zheng Yuansheng. If the Zheng family has already sent someone to rescue him, I will definitely not cause trouble. I am willing to wait here. However, you are completely indifferent to his safety now." I agree. If the reputation of the Zheng family is really damaged, it is definitely not my slander, but you did it yourself!"
