Chapter 22 Cheng Yishou is in danger

After what happened yesterday, Cheng Yishou has seen through Zhou Quan.

He heard the servant Zhou Quan bring the maid he threw over yesterday to the mansion to confess and apologize, saying that all this was just the maid's one-sided words and had nothing to do with him.

How could Cheng Yishou believe him now? He just sent someone to see Zhou Quan and said that he was very angry yesterday and felt unwell and couldn't see anyone.

In fact, Cheng Yishou didn't want to see Zhou Quan.

Now when he thought of him, he thought of the evil things Zhou Quan did to him.

He took him to that place of fireworks yesterday, and he didn't know when he arranged that maid to be by his side. In addition to monitoring him, he only knew what other dirty things he was going to do.

Cheng Yishou didn't dare to think about it, he just pinched his brows with a headache, the most important thing was to cut off the relationship with Zhou Quan at the moment.

The rest of the days were peaceful, Cheng Jin spent a rare innocent life in the mansion.

Now, every day in the mansion, he opened his eyes, without the fear of losing his life, and there was no intrigue, except that he and Cheng Sheng occasionally quarreled, but when mentioning Miss Duan Yan of the Duan family, Cheng Sheng seemed to be dumb, and the sharp-tongued and unyielding person was speechless.

Cheng Jin couldn't help laughing at the side.

[I didn't expect that my brother, who was an invincible general outside, was still a pure love warrior. ]

[However, after getting along for the past few days, I think Miss Duan is also interested in my brother. Although Cheng Sheng

didn't understand what "pure love warrior" meant, he thought it was a good term after hearing Cheng Jin say it. After Cheng Jin said that "Miss Duan" was interested in him, Cheng Sheng's heart was pounding, but he still thought about it unconfidently.

Miss Duan might be interested in him?

Did she see that he was interested in him?

Was he too reserved? What if Miss Duan was imagining things?

Tomorrow he was going to ask Miss Duan to go boating and enjoy the lake, so he might as well talk to her again and secretly express his feelings.

Of course, Cheng Jin didn't know that Cheng Sheng in front of him had already imagined what excuse he would use to meet Duan Yan next time, and he just stared at the teacup in front of him in a daze.

This scene is not in the book. I don't know if it is because of her that the current plot has been changed. Even if it seems calm now, I don't know what kind of turbulent waves will be revealed in such an era.

But no matter what, Cheng Jin is determined to protect the Cheng family.

Not long after Cheng Sheng left, he heard a commotion from the servants in the mansion.

Cheng Jin asked Cuizhu to go out and inquire, and when he came back, he saw Cuizhu with a pale face.

Cheng Jin saw that something was wrong and hurriedly asked Cuizhu what happened.

Cuizhu was a little nervous as she tried to organize her words:

"Now it's time for the old man to go back home after attending court, but he met Lord Zhou on the way, and he insisted on inviting our old man to his house for tea."

"The old man had a grudge against him because of what happened a few days ago, so how could he be willing? Lord Zhou took the old man to the house with a tough attitude. Until now, there is no news that the old man has any intention of returning home. Only Wang Dong, who accompanied the old man to court, came back to pass on the message."

Cheng Jin listened to all this in disbelief. This Zhou Quan was originally a drunkard. His

father's words of breaking up with him were so clear. He was in a lower position than his father, so how could he dare to do such a thing again.

With Cheng Yishou's straightforward personality, he must have reported Zhou Quan to the court again and exposed all his dirty deeds.

Zhou Quan hated him, so he must have colluded with other people in the court who disliked Cheng Yishou and planned this together.

Cheng Jin figured it all out and immediately told herself to stay calm.

Now she knew that she was the only one in the world who could save Cheng Yishou.

Cheng Jin immediately stood up and asked Cuizhu to go with her to see Zhao Shulan. Now that her father was forced to go to the mansion for tea, the matter must have reached Zhao Shulan's ears.

When they arrived at Zhao Shulan's courtyard, they were crying and shouting. Zhao Shulan was sitting in the room, rubbing her forehead with a headache. Her face was also very depressed, and her eyes were slightly red. She must have cried.

Cheng Jin looked at the maids and servants around her and shouted, "Father just went to Mr. Zhou's house to drink tea. Maybe the two of them had a good chat and he came back in the evening. Why do you have such an expression?"

Cheng Jin's expression was indifferent, and it seemed that he was not affected by this matter at all.

Cheng Jin stepped forward and patted Zhao Shulan on the back, comforting her, "Father must be fine."

Zhao Shulan nodded.

Cheng Jin glanced at the servants gathered in the courtyard, "What are you still doing here? Do what you need to do. If your father comes back and sees you guys playing around while he's away, he'll be mad at you."

The servants in the mansion left Zhao Shulan's yard one after another.

Zhao Shulan dared to show a worried look when she saw that everyone had left, "You know, Mr. Zhou is now an old enemy of your father. Your father was invited to have tea this time, maybe..."

Zhao Shulan couldn't continue.

"No, father is an important official in the court, Zhou Quan wouldn't dare

to do that." "I'll let your brother go to Zhou Quan's house to invite your father back. Your brother is a deputy general in the army, so I'm sure nothing will happen." Zhao Shulan felt more at ease seeing Cheng Jin by her side, so she told Cheng Jin what she had just done.

Cheng Jin nodded, "Only our house knows about Zhou Quan's incident that day, and it hasn't been spread out. Now no one outside is talking about the discord between our two families. It's okay for your brother to go, but don't make it too public."

Cheng Jin's guess was right. Something happened there, and Cheng Sheng had already put on his armor and took his weapons to meet Zhao Shulan and was ready to go out.

He was furious and knelt before Zhao Shulan, "Mother, sister, I will bring father back today."

Cheng Jin stepped forward and snatched his sword into her own hand,

"Why are you wearing this? As a deputy general, you are wearing armor and carrying an ice blade in the capital to visit Zhou Quan's mansion."

"Those who know will say that you are filial and worried about your father. Those who don't will exaggerate what happened to you today and tell the emperor. You will never be able to get rid of the charge of treason, and you will be speechless."

"Even if you rescued my father today, I'm afraid that all of us in the Cheng family would have to die together. Maybe that would be what those treacherous people wanted."

Cheng Sheng had never seen Cheng Jin like this before, and was stunned for a moment.

Cheng Jin didn't know whether she was anxious about Cheng Yishou's matter or angry about Cheng Sheng's reckless behavior, her eyes were red and full of cruelty.

Cheng Sheng was frightened by Cheng Jin, and even Zhao Shulan didn't know what to say to persuade him.
