Chapter 240 The lingering ghost

Cheng Weiyao was completely helpless against the tearful scene, but fortunately, her mother didn't cry for too long. She quickly recovered, humming a little tune and smiling as she began to prepare dinner and a hangover soup.

After the palace banquet for the court officials ended, Cheng Ying returned home feeling dizzy. Because of his daughter and son-in-law, he was forced to drink by many people who flattered him.

"Daughter, you are finally home..."

Seeing that it was Cheng Wei Yao who opened the door, he smiled foolishly, then fell to the ground drunk and unconscious, leaving behind the mother and daughter who smiled helplessly at each other.

The next day, Cheng Wei Yao was called up to prepare for moving. Cheng Ying gave a very sufficient reason: It was not because she was angry, so why would she run back to her mother's house? The two elders were still waiting to have a grandchild, so she should move back to the palace as soon as possible.

Ah! It was that damn grandson again. Cheng Weiyao covered her ears, refusing to listen.

She had been thinking of sending a look of help to Cheng's mother, but she found that her mother was even more anxious than her father and had already started packing up her gold and silver jewelry. Because she was poor when she got married, Cheng Ying had gradually saved up a lot of gold and silver jewelry for her after his official career had become smoother.

"Mother, please stop packing. Who would go back to their parents' home and bring food and things with them..."

Cheng Weiyao watched the two elders loading large and small bags of things onto the carriage at the gate as if they were ransacking their property, and reluctantly tried to stop them. QQ Farm's warehouse still contained inventory from the Duke's Mansion, Li Dabao, Zhang Daming, and others. No matter how you looked at it, it was her responsibility to support her parents.

"Oh, my sister's house is so lively. Second uncle, second aunt, Wei Ning brought the sisters to buy some things for sister Wei Yao. I hope you don't mind..."

After Cheng Weining confirmed that Wen Chengyun was not there, she returned with her noble sisters. From their titles, it was clear that they ignored Wen Chengyun's words.

"Who are you insulting with your tattered clothes? Do you deserve our help? Did we ask you for help? You just stepped into our house without permission. If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude!"

Cheng Weiyao glanced at the bundles in the maids' hands. They were basically outdated and damaged clothes. It was a wonder that these people didn't throw them away but instead collected them to embarrass themselves.

As she spoke, she picked up the broom in the corner of the yard. After all, she was not the type of lady from a wealthy family, so if she couldn't get him to leave, don't blame her for taking action.

"Vulgar! So vulgar! We sisters are so kind to you, is this how you treat guests?"

"Forget it, just talk it out. Why resort to violence... Wei Ning, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

The noble ladies, who were already a loose group, were frightened by Cheng Weiyao's ferocious appearance. They were all pale and fled as fast as they could, supported by their maids. In the blink of an eye, Cheng Weining was left alone. She didn't believe Cheng Weiyao would dare to hit her, so she stubbornly refused to leave.

"Eldest sister is really brave..."

Cheng Weiyao threw the broom in her hand to the corner of the wall, walked quickly forward, and in front of Cheng Weining's dilated pupils, she quickly pulled out the hairpin that she used to tie up her hair, and threw it at the tree outside the door with her backhand.

She was avenging the grudge she had at the palace banquet. If her hair had not been tied up tightly that day and the hairpin was just a decoration, her hair would be disheveled like Cheng Weining now.

Cheng Weining's face turned pale with anger when her hair was suddenly undone. She always paid attention to her appearance, and Cheng Weiyao's action was a complete slap in her face.

With her waist-length hair and the ferocious expression on her face, she looked like a ghost.

Cheng's mother was afraid that Cheng Weining would go crazy and harm her daughter. She was so scared that she wanted to step forward but was stopped by Cheng Ying.

"The children have to solve their own problems. After all, they are old. I can protect them for a while, but can I protect them forever?"

Cheng Ying's words made sense, so Cheng's mother had to calm down and wait and see what would happen. She glanced at the broom thrown in the corner by Cheng Weiyao. If the situation was not right, she would use the broom to sweep away these uninvited guests.

Knowing that Cheng Weining paid attention to her appearance, Xiaotao hurriedly ran outside. She stretched out her hand to pull the hairpin off the tree, but Cheng Weiyao used too much force and the tip of the hairpin was embedded in the tree.

"Cheng Weiyao? Are you crazy? My things are priceless..."

While Cheng Weining was scolding Cheng Weiyao, she was waiting for Xiaotao to hand her a hairpin. After waiting for a long time, she became impatient and quickly stepped forward to do it herself.

"Xiao Tao, you're such a useless girl, you can't even pull out a hairpin..."

However, the moment she saw the hairpin nailed to the tree, she felt a chill in her body. This little bitch was not only braver, but also had martial arts skills. No wonder she was not at all nervous when provoking her.

"It's just a little thing, it's already stuck on the tree. We don't want it anymore. Xiaotao, we don't want it anymore!"

Cheng Weining suppressed his inner shock and pretended to be calm, but his legs were actually a little weak. If Xiaotao hadn't supported him, he might have squatted down.

Cheng Ying's mother looked at her domineering daughter, and a smile of satisfaction appeared on her old face, which showed the traces of time. She already had some of the aura of a princess.

After the incident with Cheng Weining, Cheng Weiyao successfully arrived at the palace with the gift from her parents. Even though she had repeatedly refused, she still couldn't resist the heavy love of her parents...

"Lord Cheng loves our princess so much. Things are secondary. What matters is the thought behind it."

While Wu Qi was organizing the staff to help Cheng Weiyao unload the carriage, he also teased her, his tone full of envy. Most of the children who became Jinwu Guards were carefully selected, and some even came from families so pure that they didn't even have parents. They were the most outstanding among the abandoned children.

"Yeah, where's the prince? Is he busy?"

Cheng Weiyao sighed slightly, then glanced at the quiet gate. They say a short absence is better than a new marriage, and she actually felt a little bit of longing in her heart. If this man didn't come out to pick up his wife at home, he would be a real pig's hoof.

"The prince is in the study, which is the second room around the corner from the long corridor. If you're not familiar with it, I can take you there..."

Wu Qi originally wanted to point out the way verbally, but then he thought that the prince's mansion was not big, but not small either. If the princess took the wrong path again, he clapped his hands and planned to lead the way himself.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Weiyao shook her head decisively. Only by exploring the memory by herself could she have a deep memory. After all, this was the place where she would live in the future. How could she, as the host, not be familiar with the house?

Following Wu Qi's instructions, Cheng Weiyao came to the door of the study and saw that the light was on. She pushed the door open quietly to give Wen Chengyun a little surprise.

Unexpectedly, Wen Chengyun in the room gave Cheng Weiyao a fright first...
