Chapter 15 I will protect the love of my parents
Cheng Jin did not say anything else. After all, if she directly told Cheng Yishou about Li Changping now, it would make Cheng Yishou suspicious.
Her father was so upright. If he knew that she got the news from nowhere, he would definitely tell her not to speak without evidence.
It is estimated that if Cheng Yishou said anything in the future, he would not believe it.
It is better to start with her gentle and kind mother.
Zhao Shulan had no friendship with Li Changping, and she was the most meticulous. If he knew that Li Changping's behavior was a little strange, he would definitely be on guard against Li Changping.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jin bid farewell to Cheng Yishou and went to Zhao Shulan's residence.
After Cheng Jin left, Cheng Yishou immediately thought of sending someone to check the yard where Li Changping lived.
But when he thought that if all the people in the mansion were Li Changping's men as Cheng Jin said, then his actions would naturally arouse Li Changping's suspicion, and the things might be cleaned up before he arrived.
Cheng Yishou did not make a fuss, but called everyone to the front yard.
He said that something was lost in the mansion and needed to be checked routinely, and he rushed to Li Changping's residence.
He always trusted Li Changping, and he never doubted what Li Changping did in the mansion.
But now thinking about it carefully, Li Changping did do many suspicious things.
He locked the door in broad daylight, and usually had servants watching in his yard.
As a butler, it was clear what he wanted the servants to watch.
Cheng Yishou kicked open the door of Li Changping's room. He was a civil servant, good at writing, but this was the first time he had used violence. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.
He thought he had prepared himself mentally, but he was still shocked when he saw the scene in the room.
There were quite a few gold, silver and jewelry in the room, and even the decorations were top-quality items.
According to Li Changping's monthly salary, it was obvious how he could buy these things and where they came from.
Looking at the desk again, probably because he was in a hurry, there were a lot of papers and letters piled on it. Cheng Yishou walked in to check.
Aren't these his own?
Some were just papers for practicing calligraphy. The good ones were kept, and the bad ones were thrown aside.
Cheng Yishou flipped through it and found that there were indeed a lot of documents drafted by Cheng Yishou and some essays.
It was estimated that Li Changping did not understand, and some of them had been thrown on the ground.
After Cheng Yishou finished writing these things, he arranged for Li Changping to burn them, and also arranged to make sure they were dealt with cleanly.
He had been an official in the court for many years, how could he not know that many people also fell because of those things that were accidentally left on paper, and many of them were slandered and overthrown because of those things that were taken out of context.
He basically handled these things himself. Why did he let Li Changping do it? First, he was bold, and second, he trusted Li Changping. He
trusted Li Changping very much.
But he could actually do such a thing.
It seems that Li Changping really did exchange these articles with the Fifth Prince for money and put his whole family to death.
Cheng Yishou suddenly felt the blood flowing backwards in his body, and a surge of anger rushed to his head. He wanted to kill Li Changping with his own hands.
Before Cheng Yishou went out, Li Changping came over immediately after hearing the news.
Seeing that the door was open, his heart sank, and he had to bite the bullet and go in.
Before he could even call out "Master", Cheng Yishou threw all the papers on the table at Li Changping's face.
Cheng Yishou's face turned red with anger, and he said angrily: "What is this! I ask you what this is!"
Naturally, Li Changping couldn't say a word at this time.
He looked at the crowd outside and couldn't help but sneer.
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange for you to wait in the front yard, and you'll follow Li Changping here. What? My words are useless. He is the master of this Cheng Mansion?!"
Li Changping shouted "Master, spare my life."
But he didn't seem to know how Cheng Yishou would spare his life after doing such a thing, so he could only helplessly explain: "I don't know who these things belong to, and how they appeared here."
Cheng Yishou ignored him, and directly passed Li Changping and called one of the servants to bring a torch.
Cheng Yishou threw the torch directly into the house. Li Changping saw it and quickly stepped forward to pick up the torch and put it out with the tea on the table.
Although these were all gifts from others, they were valuable objects after all, how could Li Changping be willing to give them up.
Seeing Li Changping like this, Cheng Yishou couldn't help but sneer, "Aren't they not yours? Haven't you seen these things before?"
"Wouldn't it be a waste if you just burned them? I feel bad for them."
"Humph." Cheng Yishou snorted coldly, "Feel bad for them? They're not yours? Then everything in this house is naturally mine, and I can burn my things whenever I want."
Li Changping didn't dare to say anything. Cheng Yishou stepped forward and snatched the torch from Li Changping's hand, burned the remaining documents, and then walked out.
The maids and servants in the house were kneeling in the yard, which was a spectacular sight.
When did so many maids and servants come to his house?
The Cheng Mansion is not big, and there have always been only Cheng Yishou and Zhao Shulan, and Cheng Jin and Cheng Sheng. After Cheng Jin entered the palace, the house needed even fewer maids and servants, but there were so many of them all of a sudden.
Cheng Yishou couldn't tell which of them were truly serving the master, and which were Li Changping's relatives and friends, who had bribed him to get in.
Cheng Yishou was trying to recognize them, but saw Zhao Shulan and Cheng Jin enter the yard.
Cheng Jin knew what happened at a glance.
Li Changping must have been able to keep the things he did secret, and he had an argument with Cheng Jin at the door this morning. The servant made a scene, and naturally Cheng Yishou heard
about it. She and Zhao Shulan were talking in the backyard, and Cheng Jin told Zhao Shulan what happened in the morning, and Zhao Shulan quickly understood.
This Li Changping is not a good person.
Zhao Shulan is indeed the daughter of a wealthy family. She has lived in the backyard since she was a child and knows all these things.
[My mother is really good, beautiful and sensible.]
[I envy my father for having such a good wife.]
Zhao Shulan was thinking about Li Changping's affairs, thinking about how to expose the things Li Changping did and then pull out all the people in the mansion who were related to Li Changping, but she didn't expect to hear Cheng Jin's voice in her ear.
She didn't care at first, thinking that Cheng Jin was teasing her and Cheng Yishou.
[My father is pitiful. Even though his confidant stabbed him in the back, he couldn't stay with such a lovely wife for a few more years.]
[It's all because of that damn outsider who deceived my mother into saying that my father had more than a dozen mistresses outside, took my mother to the place where others kept mistresses, and framed my father in order to climb into my father's bed.]
[Since I'm back home, I naturally can't let this happen. 】
【Mom, don't worry, I will protect the love between you and dad, and no demons or monsters can get close to us. 】
