On the day Cheng Jingzhou arrived in Gaoyang County, he only went back to his hometown to greet his elders, then showered and changed clothes, and then hurried to Xiejia Village.
Liu Ruolan specially called Xie Rongzhao over to give the two of them a chance to talk.
Although Xie Rongzhao is still young and doesn't understand love at all, the love they grew up together is naturally different from others.
"Brother Jingzhou, how is my father? Can he eat well and sleep well? Also, is the case closed? When can we return to the capital?"
Cheng Jingzhou answered them one by one with a smile, and then gave her the gift he specially brought for her.
"These are Yunzhou specialties. If you like them, I will ask someone to go to Yunzhou to buy them later."
"Thank you, brother Jingzhou."
Xie Ronglan had already returned to the county seat, and therefore, she missed the news that Cheng Jingzhou was coming, and she even missed the news that Xie Xiuwen's family was about to return to Beijing.
By the time she and Wang Ximeng met again in the county town, Xie Xiuwen had secretly picked up her family members.
Why pick him up secretly?
There are still two dead soldiers who have escaped, so Xie Xiuwen naturally has to be more careful.
But as soon as Xie Xiuwen and the others left, something happened to Cheng Mansion.
Cheng Yuanyuan threw a pair of silver bracelets given by Xie Rongzhao into the treasury to burn ashes. She hated her future cousin-in-law so much.
Cheng Yuanyuan doesn't like Xie Rongzhao, and naturally she doesn't like everyone who is attracted to Xie Rongzhao.
Cheng Jingyan's bride, Mrs. Xu, had just found out that she was pregnant. On the way to greet the old lady, she accidentally fell down and the baby was not saved.
The matter concerns the next generation, and it's a direct descendant. Naturally, we can't just let it go, and we have to get to the bottom of it.
Cheng Jingzhou happened to be resting at home, so he decided to try his skills.
As a result of this investigation, Cheng Yuanyuan was found.
Now, Cheng Jingyan couldn't bear it, and neither could the other masters of the Cheng family!
With such a vicious mind, how could she be allowed to do evil in the Cheng family again?
Cheng Yuanyuan refused to plead guilty at first, but when she saw the evidence was conclusive, she had to cry and beg her parents to spare her, but this failed to win the sympathy of Cheng's elders.
Cheng Yuanyuan was so impulsive that she naturally began to speak indiscriminately.
He dared to say any vicious words.
Maybe she realized that she had to leave the Cheng family, or maybe she realized that she would never have a good ending in the Cheng family, so she actually acted in public.
Everyone was unaware for a moment, but failed to stop her from rushing over. After many people argued, Mrs. Cheng was pushed by Cheng Yuanyuan...
Everyone was stunned.
Looking at the unconscious old lady lying on the ground, how could everyone care about anything else?
Unfortunately, the old lady passed away before dawn the next day.
It is estimated that even the old lady herself would not have thought that one day she would die at the hands of her most beloved granddaughter.
Cheng Yuanyuan has been kissed in the woodshed since yesterday, her mouth was gagged and no water was allowed to enter.
Mrs. Cheng San was a little soft-hearted at first, thinking of waiting until daybreak to beg the old lady to forgive Cheng Yuanyuan for her momentary mistake.
Unexpectedly, before he had the opportunity to plead for mercy, he waited for the news of the old lady's death.
At this time, not to mention Mrs. Cheng San, but also Cheng Yuanyuan were completely dumbfounded.
No matter how much Mr. Cheng dotes on his daughter, he cannot forgive her. He never wants to see Cheng Yuanyuan's face that disgusts him again in his life.
His biological daughter killed his mother, which Mr. Cheng could not accept no matter what.
In the end, it was Cheng Xuezheng who started the funeral arrangements, and Cheng Jingyan led his grandchildren to watch the funeral together.
When people come to express their condolences, they will naturally ask about the cause of the old lady's sudden death. Everyone in the Cheng family agrees that it was a sudden illness. After all, many people know about their family's hurried call for a doctor the first day.
There are also some female relatives who will unconsciously ask about Cheng Yuanyuan. After all, this granddaughter is the only one missing from the mourning hall.
In this regard, the Cheng family only said that she was also seriously ill and could not get up now.
Grandpa Xie and Grandma Xie also came to express their condolences in person and took the gifts. Later, Lao San Xie and Mrs. Wang came alone again, and Liu Xian Cheng was naturally not left behind.
When the news of Mrs. Cheng's death reached Xie Xiuwen, they were only two days away from the capital.
Xie Xiuwen was silent. Mrs. Cheng passed away, so the Cheng family would have to worry. As a result, Cheng Jingzhou would not be able to catch up with this year's provincial examination no matter what.
Fortunately, both he and Chief Xu Shan wanted to suppress him.
This is a coincidence.
Xie Xiuwen ordered his people to rush to Gaoyang County quickly and deliver a hundred taels as a memorial ceremony. The rest can only be discussed later.
Xie Rongzhao read the letter and learned the truth about Mrs. Cheng's death from illness. He was even more disgusted with Cheng Yuanyuan.
"Auntie, how can a person be so bad? Not only did she harm Mrs. Cheng's child, but she even killed the old lady. How could she be so cruel?"
Liu Ruolan was silent for a long time before saying: "She is evil, so she will be punished. Now even her parents are not willing to recognize her anymore. Even if she can't pay for the old lady with her life, her life will not be easy in the future."
Xie Rongzhao was even more disgusted: "But she is still alive. The little baby that Sister-in-law Cheng has been waiting for is gone. How can she live with peace of mind?"
I can't accept this.
Liu Ruolan felt that she had read too little and often did not know how to teach her daughter.
Perhaps, she also has to learn from those noble ladies, and she should not forget to read more books or listen to how those noble ladies deal with troubles.
Xie Rongzhao told Xie Xiuwen about the Cheng family again in the evening. He only felt that Mrs. Cheng died in a miserable way, and the sister-in-law of the Cheng family was equally pitiful.
Xie Xiuwen understood what his daughter was angry about.
She has had a close relationship with Mrs. Cheng since she was a child, and she often stayed in the Cheng family. She has a deep relationship with the Cheng family.
Now that Mrs. Cheng has passed away and Cheng Jingyan's wife has had a miscarriage, the Cheng family has to worry about the family reputation and cannot make Cheng Yuanyuan's crimes public. Xie Rongzhao is young and energetic, so naturally he feels angry!
"Good boy, if you are the person in charge of the Cheng family, how should you handle this matter?"
Xie Rongzhao thought for a while: "I will expel Cheng Yuanyuan from the family, and the family tree will naturally be deleted, and then she will be handed over to the government for investigation."
Xie Xiuwen smiled and shook his head: "Then have you ever thought about how the other girls in the Cheng family deal with themselves?"
Xie Rongzhao choked, of course she knew that once Cheng Yuanyuan's incident was exposed, it would affect the reputation of the Cheng family, especially the Cheng family girl.
"It relieved the anger for a while, but it damaged the reputation of the family, and the marriages of other girls also became problems. Even if Cheng Yuanyuan was punished, the number of victims increased. Do you think this is a loss to the enemy? One thousand, 800 for self-inflicted harm?”
Xie Rongzhao was silent for a moment and said in a low mood: "Then let's just forget it?"
