Chapter 112 Is there someone instructing
The maid wanted to say a few more words, but the courtyard door was closed by Ying's mother.
The maid was helpless and thought to herself how could she have been assigned this task? How unlucky she was.
But she could only go back and report to the master and mistress for the time being, otherwise she might be scolded again.
After the maid returned, she told Master Cheng Er about this matter.
Master Cheng was angry again.
"This Cheng Wenwen was so nice when she asked me to do something for her, but now that the job is done, she doesn't give me any face."
Madam Cheng sighed and said, "Forget it. She's only staying for one day, and the old lady is also sick. If we force her to leave, I'm afraid something might happen."
"Okay, got it!"
Master Cheng was very angry outside today, and he was still angry when he returned home. He didn't have much patience left. He ignored Madam Cheng and went back to the house to rest. He thought that if Cheng Wenwen didn't leave tomorrow, he would really not care about family affection.
……
Cheng Wenwen rested for a night at Old Madam Cheng's place. When she got up early in the morning, she told the servants in the yard to pack up Old Madam Cheng's things and planned to move to her own place.
Mrs. Cheng couldn't help feeling a little emotional about moving, but despite her emotions, she was also somewhat looking forward to it.
Most of the things that needed to be packed up had been packed up, except for some that were difficult to move, which required hiring some people to move them, so they were left behind.
Old Madam Cheng was also born into a noble family and had received a considerable dowry in the past, so she still had some family assets. She had all the warehouses locked and the courtyard gate also locked.
Madam Cheng took Cheng Wenwen's hand and said, "There are some things I have to leave for you. Once we are settled, we will find someone to move them."
"Yes, I will send someone later, grandma, let's go."
Cheng Wenwen nodded and took Old Madam Cheng out of the house. A servant saw them carrying large and small bags of things, so he inevitably went to report to the second master Cheng.
Master Cheng was startled and immediately sat up, cursing, "This little girl wants to kidnap the old lady? No, if this gets out, people will say that I treat my stepmother and my niece harshly. Hurry up and send someone to stop her."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The servant went there quickly.
However, Cheng Wenwen had already left the house with Old Madam Cheng. When they were about to get on the carriage, they were stopped by someone who suddenly appeared.
"Old Madam, Fourth Miss, where are you going?"
Cheng Wenwen said directly: "I will take my grandmother to stay with me for a few days."
The servant said, "Fourth Miss, this is not a good idea. The old lady is still ill and should not travel around. You should stay at home and recuperate."
Cheng Wenwen just said: "Grandma wants to live with me. It's okay for a few days. You guys should get out of the way!"
The servants were inevitably in some trouble.
Pei'er had no patience and threatened him, "If you don't get out of the way, we'll step over you! After all, you're just a servant, so if you die, you die."
"Coachman, let's go!" Pei'er hummed and commanded.
The driver understood what he meant and was about to rush forward with the carriage.
Seeing this, the servants who were trying to stop the horse immediately dodged, fearing that they would be trampled by the horse. No one could risk their lives to stop the horse at this time.
As soon as the people made way, the driver drove away with the carriage.
Cheng Wenwen smiled and took Old Madam Cheng's hand and fled from the Cheng family. Both the grandmother and granddaughter felt relieved and were very happy in their hearts.
As soon as the carriage left, Master Cheng Er and Madam Cheng Er came out.
"You are a bunch of trash!" Master Cheng Er cursed angrily.
Madam Cheng was a little unhappy and asked, "Will the old lady not come back?"
Master Cheng II denied it outright, "That's impossible! The old lady has been in the Cheng family for so many years, there's no way she would really leave. Maybe she was just instigated by Cheng Wenwen."
"All right!"
Mrs. Cheng was still thinking about the old lady's dowry, which was a considerable fortune. Even if she was leaving, the property had to be left behind!
Mrs. Cheng thought about it and took people to take a look at the old lady's courtyard.
Unexpectedly, the gate was locked.
"This old lady, is she really afraid that we will steal her things?" Mrs. Cheng complained.
Cheng Jinxiu was pulled up early in the morning and yawned, "Grandma locked the yard, so there must be valuables inside. This means that grandma didn't take the valuables away. Mother, you don't have to worry!"
"That's right too!"
Mrs. Cheng was relieved, but to be on the safe side, she had to get the old lady's dowry one day.
……
After Cheng Wenwen brought Old Madam Cheng to her house, she arranged for her to live in the west side of the house, where she could see the sun at night and was close to her.
Old Madam Cheng walked around the house. It was a simple house with only a few servants and housekeepers who cleaned the house, but it had everything she needed. Madam Cheng couldn't help but praise Cheng Wenwen.
"You have really grown up. You can hold up the sky with your stomach. You are much better than your grandmother."
Cheng Wenwen said: "Grandma, you have devoted your whole life to the family, which is also great. I can't compare with you in this respect. I just want to live a good life."
"So! This person should be more selfish to live a good life."
Old Madam Cheng couldn't help but sigh, thinking about how she had worked hard for the Cheng family over the years, but now she didn't have a peaceful old age, it seemed not worth it.
Cheng Wenwen said, "Grandma, you will follow me from now on. You can do whatever you want. You don't have to be restrained. Do you understand? If there is anything you need me to do, just tell me!"
Madam Cheng nodded immediately: "I know, I know."
Old Madam Cheng took Ying's mother to stay there first, and Cheng Wenwen asked the cook to prepare delicious food for her grandmother to nourish her body. Although there was only one new old person in the house, Cheng Wenwen felt it was not so lonely anymore.
Maybe this is because I have my family with me.
……
Qi Shuo stayed in prison for a few days, and finally someone from his superiors came to interrogate him.
People from the Dali Temple took turns interrogating him, and he answered whatever he had to say.
"Qi Shuo, is it really because of your carelessness that 20,000 soldiers died? Was there someone instructing you?" The official from the Dali Temple interrogated him with a hint of guidance.
Qi Shuo raised his head, looked at the Dali Temple official with silent eyes, and asked: "I am the most powerful in Shanzhou City, who else can order me around?"
Dali Temple Minister Qiu Changye said directly: "Don't answer irrelevant questions, answer directly, someone is instructing you!"
Qi Shuo replied coldly: "No one ordered me to do that!"
Qiu Changye snorted coldly and said, "You were promoted by the Duke of Ying! Did he have any involvement?"
Qi Shuo still answered coldly: "No!"
"Why don't you answer honestly? The Duke of England has already abandoned you. Even if he reported the matter to the court, would you still help him? If you tell the truth, you might even die a quick death! Save yourself from suffering!"
"No!"
Qi Shuo's tone sounded even colder and harder.
