Chapter 1987 Shu Yu says she doesn't want to take the blame

southwest?

This time it was Sung-hyun's turn to frown.

Cheng Feng turned around very sincerely, cupped his hands respectfully to him, and said, "Guard Cheng, our Cheng family happens to have a shop in the southwest. Let the brother and sister go there, so they can train their character while managing the shop. Don't worry, Guard Cheng, I will send them to the southwest alone, so it won't be a burden to you."

Chengxian said, "Actually, it doesn't have to be this far."

Cheng Feng shook his head. "Those two have never traveled far from home and haven't seen the world. That's why their vision is so narrow. They're only focused on their own little plot of land and don't know the immensity of the world. Go to the southwest and see what they can achieve without the help of others."

As he spoke, he looked sharply at Cheng Wenbao, "Wenbao, I'm handing that shop over to you. Take good care of it. If you don't achieve anything, don't come back with your sister."

Cheng Wenbao opened his mouth, his face somber. After a long while, he replied in a hoarse voice with difficulty, "Father, I understand."

Cheng Jiatong simply couldn't accept it. "I won't go. Why should I go to that poor, remote place in the Southwest? I don't want to. Father, that's the Southwest, it's a place of exile. Are you going to exile me? The people there are fierce, and there are poisonous insects and snakes everywhere. Aren't you worried about the safety of me and my brother?"

Cheng Feng shouted, "There's no room for you to object to this."

"Father, you're so cruel. I did something wrong, but you've already hit me. Why did you send me to such a faraway place?" Cheng Jiatong cried, then suddenly exclaimed as if she had just realized something, "I understand! It was Concubine Gao, wasn't it? You must have listened to Concubine Gao's words. To make room for her son and daughter, you sent my brother and me to such a faraway place. Father, are you senile? You favor your concubine over your wife, mistreating your legitimate son and daughter. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed? You..."

"Why aren't you dragging the Fourth Miss away?" Cheng Feng scolded the old woman and maid beside him. "I think you've really lost your mind. Sending you away is not unjust at all."

Soon, an old woman came and dragged the struggling and crying Cheng Jiatong away.

Cheng Feng looked at Cheng Wenbao, "Do you also think that your father is mistreating you?"

"No, I didn't think that way. Fourth Sister has suffered too much trauma today, which is why she's talking nonsense. I'll go over and talk to her in a bit, and she'll come to her senses."

"That's good."

Cheng Wenbao quickly took his leave, turning away from the front yard with a somewhat dejected expression.

After Cheng Feng finished dealing with the matter, he said to Shu Yu, "I wonder if the county princess is satisfied with my handling of the matter?"

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, you're too kind. You wanted to educate your children and imposed such a severe punishment. I don't want to take the blame for that. With this Ganoderma lucidum, I don't plan to hold a grudge against Miss Cheng anymore."

Cheng Feng was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I misspoke. The county princess is magnanimous and will naturally not hold my daughter against me. It was only after seeing her actions that I realized that if I did not correct her mistakes, she would bring great disaster to the Cheng family in the future, so I made up my mind to teach her properly."

Shu Yu squinted and didn't say much, but he always felt that Master Cheng was scheming something.

Cheng Xian also looked rather grim. He had lost interest in the matter and simply said, "Now that the matter is resolved, let's leave it at that. Princess, shall I see you off?"

This means I want to talk to her alone.
