Although Cheng Wan'er was not favored on weekdays because she was the third eldest child in the family, she was still the legitimate daughter born from the wife's womb after all. No matter what happened in the future, she would marry better than her.
Miss Cheng Er has always been unconvinced, so she targeted her everywhere. When she was young, she lost her hands that could play the piano and paint.
The scars on her hands were too scary, and no matter how hard it was to find a good family, Mr. Cheng became less and less interested in her, which gave Miss Cheng the arrogance.
The boys stepped aside and complained a little bit about Miss Cheng Er.
"Second Miss, fortunately we discovered it early today, otherwise if we really took action, our entire Cheng family would probably suffer."
Miss Cheng Er was already angry. She glanced at them and said, "Stand back. No one can say anything about this. If you do, be careful that I break your legs."
The boys knew that the master doted on the second young lady, so they had no choice but to give in. ?.?????.???
After the boys left, a little maid came from outside the courtyard and said, "Miss, I just saw the third lady in the lotus pond."
When Miss Cheng Er heard this, she became even more angry, "Why did you come back and tell me now?"
The little maid lowered her head and whispered: "Slave, don't you want to hear some more of their whispers?"
Miss Cheng Er was too lazy to argue with her anymore and continued to ask: "Tell me, what were they whispering together just now?"
The little maid leaned into Miss Cheng's ear and said, "The princess said she could cure Miss Third's hand."
Miss Cheng Er was shocked, "What? You said the princess can cure Cheng Wan'er's hand?"
The little maid nodded.
Miss Cheng Er slapped the table hard and said sternly: "It's impossible. The princess is still a girl without hair extensions. How can she have such good medical skills? Even the imperial doctors have seen her hands, and she can't be cured at all." .”
The little maid slowly said: "Second Miss, I heard that the princess learned medical skills from the doctor many years ago, and her medical skills are excellent."
Miss Cheng Er frowned, her face full of anger, "No, I can't let her just heal her hands."
The third young lady is now being ignored by Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng because of that hand covered with horrific scars.
If her hand is cured, coupled with her talent and background, she will definitely be able to put pressure on the second young lady.
Miss Cheng Er will never allow such a thing to happen.
With a cold face, she ordered the little maid: "Keep an eye on Cheng Wan'er and tell me if you have any news."
"Yes, Second Miss." The little maid bowed and turned around to leave.
On the other side of the Cheng Mansion, Yi'er, Yu'er, the fifth young master of the Cheng Mansion, and the Prime Minister were drinking tea together.
Yi'er and Yu'er looked young, but they could chat with Master Cheng.
At the end of the chat, Yuer talked about parrots, "I picked up a parrot on the road a few days ago. It can talk."
Master Cheng listened.
Yuer continued: "I saw that this parrot could talk and it was very interesting, so I took it back to the palace to give to my sister."
Mr. Cheng gradually became a little confused.
Yu'er gave him some more tea, "Later, the parrot actually yelled "monster, monster, monster" at us."
Master Cheng frowned, and he suddenly remembered the parrot he had sent to throw away a few days ago.
Yu'er continued: "I felt curious after hearing it, so I asked it, who is the monster? Do you know what it said?"
Mr. Cheng opened his eyes very cooperatively and asked, "What did you say?"
Yu'er slightly raised his tone and said slowly like a storyteller, "He said she was a princess..."
Master Cheng was shocked. It was a serious crime to slander the princess.
He quickly lowered his head and looked a little unhappy.
The eldest prince and the second prince came to tell him about this matter in person, so naturally it had something to do with their Cheng family.
Yu'er didn't need to explain, he had already guessed that the parrot was the one in his second daughter's room.
He recovered slightly, coughed twice and said, "This parrot is really tongue-tied. It should be plucked and thrown out."
Yu'er smiled and said: "Master Prime Minister, this is not right. Parrots imitate human speech. If they want to pluck their hair, they are also plucking human hair."
Although he said it in a joking tone, there was a vague sense of oppression.
Lord Cheng lowered his head slightly, and probably understood what he meant, and responded: "Yes, the second prince is right."
Seeing that the meaning was almost conveyed, Yu'er looked at Yi'er.
Yi'er remained silent on the side, but looked at Mr. Cheng, and Mr. Cheng couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.
Master Cheng asked respectfully: "Can the two princes go to the backyard for a banquet?"
Master Cheng and Mrs. Cheng held a banquet today to let the two princes and his daughter get acquainted.
Although they are not very old, they are childhood sweethearts and will have a deep relationship in the future. Maybe his daughter will have a chance to become a queen.
He can also be the head of the state.
However, Yi'er and Yu'er saw that the intention had been conveyed and did not want to get involved with the female relatives, so they declined politely.
Master Cheng didn't force them to stay because the parrot was temporarily absent-minded.
When it got dark, Du Wanchun and his family left Cheng Mansion.
As soon as she left, Mr. Cheng hurriedly went to find Miss Cheng Er, and happened to bump into Mrs. Cheng on the way.
Mrs. Cheng looked panicked and said: "The Queen is a little strange today..."
