Chapter 241 I Won’t Sit Still and Wait for Death
Yu Shengsheng waited for half an hour and saw Fu Qingyin coming out of the Shangshu room.
Fu Qingyin raised his eyes and saw her. She was wearing a light green dress. She looked like a young bamboo that had just been pulled out, eager to grow and stretch.
Yu Shengsheng looked at him. His red robe was as hot as fire. Everything around him was dimmed by it. He was so passionate and yet so lonely.
Yu Shengsheng felt an inexplicable pang in her heart, and stepped forward lightly: "Commander."
Fu Qingyin nodded: "Let's go, leave the palace."
He strode forward and she followed quickly behind.
…
It was the first time in Cheng Zhaoping's life that he was beaten with a stick. Although there were only ten hits, his skin was torn and the pain made him gasp and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"I am innocent. Give me another chance, I still want to kill him! He is a thief and he deserves to be killed."
He cursed with gritted teeth, as if this could ease the pain a little.
As he was cursing, he suddenly heard louder shouts.
"Let me go, you are deliberately deceiving me!"
"Mr. Wang, I am not done with you. I want to ask General Su and my uncle to seek justice for me!"
This voice... Cheng Zhaoping stopped cursing, isn’t this his son?
He stretched his neck to look outside, and sure enough, he saw the bailiff dragging his son towards him.
"Okay, stop howling, you and your son can reunite here!"
The bailiff threw Cheng Ziheng down, locked the door and left.
Cheng Zhaoping was surprised: "How did you get in? What happened?"
Cheng Ziheng did not hide it, and now he could no longer hide it, so he told the story.
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Zhaoping's eyes went dark and his heart began to pound. He had a feeling that this matter might not be that simple.
"Dad, don't worry. Even if he deceived me, it's only temporary. I met that man yesterday, and he said he would go back and report to the Heavenly Master. The Heavenly Master will definitely be able to turn the situation around for us."
Cheng Zhaoping couldn't believe it: "How could I raise such a stupid son like you! Wang Fuyin went there today. Could it be that he just wanted to deceive you? This shows that he knows everything. The Heavenly Master you mentioned may have been captured by him a long time ago."
"Impossible, the Heavenly Master has great power..."
Before he finished speaking, a eunuch came to convey his order.
"The emperor has issued an order. The Cheng family has lost all moral integrity and is a scum of the officialdom. I, in consideration of the merits of the old Duke, will spare his death. Immediately, his family property will be confiscated and all will be exiled to Lingnan. I decree this."
Cheng Zhaoping and Cheng Ziheng were both stunned. They stopped cursing and were no longer angry.
The eunuch said sharply, "Master Cheng, please accept the order."
Cheng Zhaoping took the decree with trembling hands, unfolded it and saw that every word on it was correct.
"for……"
He looked up at the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, but he had already left.
"why is that?"
Cheng Ziheng couldn't believe it: "Impossible, how could this be? This is impossible, I don't want to go to Lingnan, I won't go."
"Dad, please think of a solution!"
…
Yu Shengsheng stood in front of the Cheng family's door. Fu Qingyin asked, "Do you want me to go in with you?"
"No need," she held the imperial edict tightly, "Thank you, Commander, for giving me this opportunity."
"If you have anything to say, just say it. You won't have another chance later."
"good."
Mrs. Cheng had just returned from the Su family and wanted to ask Mrs. Su for help, but she didn't even see her.
She turned pale with anger and started coughing again.
"When a wall falls, everyone piles up on it. She is my husband's biological sister, but you just leave her alone. This is really unreasonable."
Just as she dropped a teacup, someone came to the door and reported, "Madam, Princess Ruiyang wants to see you."
Madam Cheng was in a trance for a moment and almost forgot to remember: "Yu Shengsheng? That bitch, what is she doing here? Could it be that she knew about my visit to the Su Mansion and came here to show her kindness to me?"
"Let her in."
Mrs. Cheng was very arrogant.
Yu Shengsheng entered the room without a cup of tea. Madam Cheng asked sternly, "Why? You have become a princess, but you don't show courtesy to your elders?"
Yu Shengsheng smiled lightly: "I really can't see you. How can I greet you, my noble princess?"
"Noble?" Mrs. Cheng sneered, "How shameless of you to say that."
"Tell me, how are you going to help me save people?"
Yu Shengsheng raised her eyebrows slightly: "Who are you saving?"
"What? You're not helping me? Then you are..." Madam Cheng sneered, "Yu Shengsheng, even if the Cheng family is temporarily in trouble, it's not your turn to bully them."
"Mrs. Cheng is joking. Your Cheng family is not going to settle in Pingyang, but to Lingnan."
Mrs. Cheng was puzzled: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yu Shengsheng was slightly surprised: "What? Madam doesn't know yet?"
"That's right, Madam is only thinking about how to make the concubines in the mansion infertile, how to fight with them, how to make your son useless, how to harm Cheng Su and still watch him rise to prominence."
"How did you team up with Madam Su to drug me? You are so busy, how can you have time to know anything else?"
Madam Cheng's expression changed several times, and she gritted her teeth and whispered, "How can you talk nonsense in front of me?"
"Which of my words are nonsense?" Yu Shengsheng asked back, "Why can't those concubines give birth to children? Isn't your son useless? The Cheng family is what it is today, thanks to your stupid son."
"But you should never, ever, have any feelings for me. I have no grudge against you, but you want to harm me and force me to enter this filthy place to torture me for the rest of my life."
"How can I just sit there and wait for death?"
Madam Cheng laughed briefly: "You know everything? So what? You are in the Su Mansion, you have no say in the matter..."
"Don't worry about my business. You should worry about how many people will be left on the way to Lingnan when the Cheng family is full."
"What Lingnan?" Mrs. Cheng frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yu Shengsheng took out the imperial edict, and the bright yellow color stung Mrs. Cheng's eyes.
"Madam Cheng, please accept the order."
Mrs. Cheng couldn't believe it, but she had to kneel.
"The emperor has issued an order that the Cheng family has lost all moral integrity and has no gratitude for the emperor's kindness... From now on, all of the family property will be confiscated and exiled to Lingnan. I decree this."
Yu Shengsheng's voice was as light as clouds, but as loud as thunder.
Mrs. Cheng's eyes almost popped out, she couldn't believe it, this was true.
Snatching the imperial edict from Yu Shengsheng's hand, she read it word by word carefully. She recognized all the words, but could not understand them.
How could this be?
Why on earth!
"What did you do?" Mrs. Cheng growled.
Yu Shengsheng smiled faintly: "When you go to prison later, if you see your son, you can ask him what he did."
"I said I would not sit still and wait for death, Mrs. Cheng, this is the price."
After Yu Shengsheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Mrs. Cheng stood up suddenly and glared at her back.
"I really underestimated you."
"Yu Shengsheng, no matter what you did, now, immediately, find a way to save this situation."
Yu Shengsheng didn't turn around, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I have been merciful and saved you once."
"Originally, this decree was to execute all the families."
Mrs. Cheng felt cold all over, and her teeth were clattering: "Yu Shengsheng, do you know why Cheng Yao doesn't like you?"
Yu Shengsheng paused slightly. Cheng Yao is Mrs. Su’s maiden name.
