Chapter 17 My brother is good, but he is a fool
After finishing the work, it was getting late, and Cheng Jin returned to her own residence.
Cheng Yishou was still angry when he slept in the bedroom at night. Zhao Shulan was also distressed watching him, and stepped forward to pat Cheng Yishou on the back.
"No one would have thought that Li Changping would do such a thing. Now he is dead and at peace. You don't have to be angry about it anymore."
Cheng Yishou looked back at Zhao Shulan and sighed, "He has been with me for so long. If he hadn't been so ostentatious, I would never have doubted him."
Zhao Shulan thought about it. There was a reason why Cheng Jin didn't tell Cheng Yishou about Li Changping first, but Cheng Yishou discovered it himself, so it can be seen that she was the only one who could hear Cheng Jin's voice.
She must take good care of the Cheng Mansion and not let Cheng Yishou worry about such things. As long as he can help the emperor handle official affairs in the previous dynasty, it will be fine. She
comforted Cheng Yishou, "Now that you have seen him clearly, why should you be sad about the previous friendship."
"Today's events have made people panic. It doesn't matter if Li Changping dies, but I'm afraid that I have provoked something unclean. I will take Jin'er to the temple to pray one day, and pray for a smooth future and a peaceful life in the palace."
Cheng Yishou thought of Cheng Jin. His beloved daughter actually lived such a life in the palace.
If possible, he was unwilling to follow those so-called etiquette and rules, and took Cheng Jin back from the palace. Even if their family of four just lived in the countryside, it would be considered happy.
If the emperor of the current dynasty really wants to be as ignorant as Cheng Jin said, and use treacherous ministers to make the people of Southern Qi suffer, then he will definitely assist the new emperor and bring Cheng Jin back from the mansion.
Cheng Yishou nodded, "Okay, Jin'er hasn't been home for a few years, it's good to take her out for a walk." Zhao Shulan
snuggled in Cheng Yishou's arms and replied softly, "Cheng Sheng, I have already written a letter, and it is estimated that he will be home tomorrow morning. Then our family can be reunited."
Cheng Jin slept well in the room. Before dawn, he heard the sound of someone practicing in his yard. Cheng Jin
went out to check without opening his eyes, and saw a man in armor in the yard, with star-like eyebrows and sword-like eyes, and a body as straight as a pine tree, who was practicing swords and guns in the yard.
The sword in his hand reflected cold light, which refracted into his eyes. The murderous intent in his eyes was clear.
He was indeed a general who became famous at a young age.
Needless to say, Cheng Jin knew that this was his brother Cheng Sheng.
Cheng Sheng soon noticed Cheng Jin pushing the door open. The coldness on his face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by an improper smile. "I have the habit of practicing in the morning. I hope I didn't disturb my sister's rest."
Cheng Jin: "...What do you think?"
Seeing that Cheng Jin still looked the same as before when he entered the palace, Cheng Sheng put away the sword and walked up to Cheng Jin to act naughty.
"You are the queen now, and the maid in the palace has been sleeping with you until now. It's really laughable."
Cheng Jin put on a wronged look, "The palace is nothing like the mansion. I have to get up at three o'clock every morning to pay my respects to the queen mother in the palace. I can't rest all day." Cheng
Sheng widened his eyes and looked shocked. "Even in the military camp, we don't get up at three o'clock. There are such rules in the palace?"
Cheng Jin nodded repeatedly and added fuel to the fire. "Yes, yes, you are not allowed to talk nonsense, walk around, and do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise you will be beaten to death."
Seeing Cheng Sheng's belief, Cheng Jin couldn't help laughing.
[This brother is good, but unfortunately he is a fool. When Cheng Sheng
heard Cheng Jin say this, he immediately pretended to be angry and looked at Cheng Jin, "You are so bad after just two years in the palace."
Cheng Sheng was about to grab Cheng Jin's arm, but Cheng Jin turned sideways and dodged.
The two of them were making a scene in the yard. Cui Zhu entered the yard and saw Cheng Jin and Cheng Sheng having a good time. She stood beside them and laughed too.
"Before entering the palace, the young lady had a good relationship with the young master. Now, after not seeing each other for two years, the feelings have not changed at all."
Cheng Jin stood there and glanced at Cheng Sheng, thinking of the book. Cheng Sheng and Cheng Jin had an extraordinary good relationship. Even when he went out to fight and received rewards from Chu Chengye, he asked for Cheng Jin. After learning that Cheng Jin was in the cold palace, he repeatedly sang against Chu Chengye in the court, and even thought about secretly taking the risk of death to take Cheng Jin out of the palace.
Unfortunately, before this plan was implemented, he was falsely accused of treason during the battle with the five princes' army, and was torn into pieces by five horses in the barracks.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jin couldn't help but tug at the corner of Cheng Sheng's clothes.
Cheng Sheng turned his head to look at him, and casually ruffled Cheng Jin's bun.
Cheng Jin glared at Cheng Sheng angrily.
Cui Zhu walked up to Cheng Jin and Cheng Sheng, "Young Master, please stop making trouble now. Madam said that we should go to Qingshou Temple to worship later to get rid of yesterday's bad luck. She asked me to tell Young Master and Miss now." Qingshou
Temple?
Cheng Jin shouted in his heart:
[Not good!]
Cheng Sheng patted Cheng Jin's head, "What are you so surprised about?"
Cheng Jin looked at Cheng Sheng with a puzzled face, "I didn't say anything!"
Cheng Sheng saw that Cheng Jin looked really aggrieved, and then looked at Cui Zhu in front of him. Cui Zhu also looked like she didn't hear anything.
Cheng Sheng was stunned, and he didn't react after Cui Zhu left.
Cheng Jin pushed Cheng Sheng's arm, turned around and walked into the house, "Brother, what are you thinking?"
Cheng Sheng thought he had misheard, and tapped his head, "Did I practice too hard last night?"
Just as Cheng Sheng was doubting himself, he heard Cheng Jin's voice again:
[We have to go to Qingshou Temple today, otherwise how can we find the person who alienated our parents? ]
[A person like this is always a time bomb when you are around. ]
[Why not take advantage of today to find this person out. ]
Cheng Sheng: "???"
This was clearly the voice Cheng Jin had just made, but he stood opposite Cheng Jin, but he had never seen her speak.
But Cheng Sheng didn't have time to think about these things now, he just thought that the person dared to alienate his parents.
His father and mother were well-known in the capital for their deep love for each other, but now someone has such an idea.
Cheng Sheng slowly retracted his fist, and was extremely angry with this man.
Cheng Jin was thinking in the house about how to catch that man today, and did not notice Cheng Sheng who was full of murderous aura.
The way to Qingshou Temple was peaceful. The servants around him were relatively quiet. With the precedent of Li Changping's incident, there was no one to talk to on the way except Cheng Jin Cuizhu, Zhao Shulan and Cheng Sheng.
This is strange.
