Chapter 144 The Imperial Gift

Cheng Wei Yao hurried forward to open the door. Goudan at the door was panting and looked like he was out of breath.

"Madam, your sister-in-law..."

As soon as a few intermittent words came out of Goudan's mouth, Cheng Weiyao immediately took Goudan away from the door with a vigilant look on her face.

"Mother, Grandma, I have something to do on the street. I will be back later!"

This child has always been calm. It is definitely not good news that he came to me in a hurry. Instead of letting the imperial concubine and the concubine know and cause them unnecessary worry, it is better to keep it secret for now.

After walking away and confirming that no noise could be heard in the courtyard, Cheng Wei Yao hurriedly asked.

"Your sister-in-law has been kidnapped by Zhang Haiyu. She's currently on the market street. I've asked my friends to delay her. Madam, please ask your husband to go and rescue her!"

In Goudan's concept, reinforcements refer to the big men who are in charge of the family, and women are mostly just there to make up the numbers and appear more powerful.

Zhang Haiyu is a typical womanizer. Although Cheng Weiyao is married, it is inevitable that she will not be favored by him, so Goudan did not consider letting Cheng Weiyao fall into his trap from the beginning.

"It's too late. I naturally have ways to deal with it. Take me there first, and we can talk as we walk!"

Cheng Weiyao's face stiffened slightly. She knew it would be best to bring Wen Chengyun with her, but he was elusive every day. Apart from going out and returning home on time, she knew nothing else about him.

Even if you want to find it, you can't do anything. You still have to rely on yourself at the critical moment!

The two of them ran quickly towards the market street. Cheng Weiyao also had a certain degree of understanding of Zhang Haiyu. The son of Zhang Daming, relying on the fact that he was the only son in the family and his father was a county magistrate, usually did many evil things.

The son of a county magistrate... Cheng Weiyao's mind was working rapidly, and with a flash of inspiration, she entered the warehouse of QQ Farm.

The Duke's Mansion's treasures were all placed separately on the left side, with a palm-sized wooden box placed in the center of the cabinet. Cheng Weiyao went forward to open it and saw that she had indeed brought these treasures with her.

In the wooden box lies a ring with a rich and bright color. It has the four characters of "watery, transparent, positive, bright and rich" in its color. The price of such a top-grade jade ring in a modern auction house is inestimable.

This is the Duke's mansion's most precious treasure, said to be a sacred object bestowed by the current Empress Dowager. Duke Cheng was granted this favor when he was young, attending a birthday banquet while the Empress Dowager was in a good mood. Cheng Weining, the eldest daughter of the first wife, had previously considered bringing it as a dowry, but instead was harshly scolded by Duke Cheng.

This amount should be enough to scare Zhang Haiyu!

When he slipped out again, he was already on the market street, and the little beggars were intercepting him with human wave tactics.

Originally, there were only one or two of them. Zhang Haiyu was in a good mood today because he had a beauty in his hand, so he waved his hand and asked the servants to give him some money. But when more people came, he naturally became annoyed.

"Get out of here! I've given you face, but haven't you heard of greed? If you come forward to block my way again, don't blame my men for bullying children."

Zhang Haiyu rubbed his eyebrows and spoke in a somewhat irritable tone. This group of beggars perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be arrogant and even form gangs while begging.

It’s good enough that you are willing to give me a reward. Why are the people I met today so ungrateful?

The little beggars were still children, so they had no clever ideas. They just used their bodies to delay the master. Seeing that their master's interest was disturbed, the servants beat him without reservation.

Cheng Weiyao was standing in the crowd. She felt something was wrong when she saw Wen Liyu's unconscious state. She thought she might have been drugged. She took a deep breath and rushed out.

"Ayu, are you okay?"

Because Zhang Haiyu was distracted by the little beggars, his attention was not entirely focused on Wen Liyu, and the servants in the Zhang Mansion were busy driving away the beggars, so naturally there was a gap.

Cheng Weiyao successfully rushed to Zhang Haiyu's side, grabbed Wen Liyu's body, and at the same time pinched the inside of her arm near her armpit without making a sound.

For most people, pinching the inner thigh or inner arm is the most painful because these two areas have the most pain nerves. Cheng Weiyao hopes to use this to wake up Wen Liyu.

After all, it is difficult to perform a one-man show, so it would be best if Wen Liyu, the person involved, could speak out in person.

"Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business? Oh, the lady is quite interesting."

Zhang Haiyu's dissatisfaction disappeared halfway when he saw Cheng Weiyao's appearance. She was also a rare beauty. Although the bun looked like she was already married, it didn't matter. Being married also had its own unique charm...

Cheng Weiyao felt a little nauseous when she was looked at by Zhang Haiyu with obscene eyes, but she suppressed her nausea and hugged Wen Liyu tightly.

"This is my sister-in-law. I'd like to ask you what you are doing, robbing a woman in the street? Do you really think the county magistrate is just a decoration?"

Cheng Weiyao deliberately pretended to be ignorant in order to delay time and wait for Wen Liyu to wake up. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyelids moved slightly, showing signs of waking up.

"So it's my sister-in-law. My father is the county magistrate you mentioned. Your daughter's A-Yu and I are in love, so how can you say he's being forced? As the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Why don't you invite my sister-in-law to come to my house to discuss the marriage?"

Zhang Haiyu's eyes rolled around, and he started to tell lies. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could get Cheng Weiyao back with him?!

"Nonsense! My sister-in-law never promised me that. We just arrived in Qingshi Town and there's no way we could be in love. I'm going to say this straight up: she's not someone you can dream of!"

Cheng Weiyao boasted first in order to irritate Zhang Haiyu. Wen Liyu had already opened her eyes in a daze. She was so happy to hear Zhang Haiyu's shameless remarks that her lips trembled with anger.

"You shameless bastard, you lowly bastard! Who would want to be in love with you? You're not even worthy enough to carry my shoes!"

Cheng Weiyao didn't expect that Wen Liyu would use her taunting skill as soon as she woke up. Zhang Haiyu had always been treated very kindly and had never suffered such an injustice before. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and planned to teach this aunt and sister-in-law a lesson.

He generally doesn't hit women, or more precisely, he doesn't hit women in the face.

Wen Liyu and Cheng Weiyao had been on guard for a long time. After a few moves, Zhang Haiyu only touched the corner of the clothes. He simply gave up trying to catch them and pulled the person into his arms by the corner of the clothes.

"What are you doing? Let go!"

Wen Liyu was obviously afraid of exposing herself for no reason, so she slapped the back of Zhang Haiyu's hand. During the tug of war, the jade ring that Cheng Weiyao had placed in her sleeve fell to the ground.

The sound is crisp and pleasant, and the color is eye-catching.

"Oh my god! This is a capital crime!"

Cheng Weiyao was possessed by the spirit of acting and fell to her knees with a thud.
