Chapter 21 My Father is Mighty

After a while, everyone in the mansion knew that Zhao Shulan had seen Cheng Yishou raising a concubine from outside the city. She

also made a big scene in front of other officials, and Cheng Yishou was embarrassed. Cheng Yishou felt that he had lost face and said that Zhao Shulan was a narrow-minded vicious woman, and it would be better to divorce her as soon as possible so that he could marry a beautiful concubine.

The story was half true and half false. Although the servants in the mansion did not know the truth, they talked about it with relish.

Cheng Yishou returned to the mansion not long after, and pretended not to go to the backyard. Instead, he went into the study as soon as he entered the mansion, and sent someone to deliver a lot of wine. They

didn't even have dinner together.

This was a huge and strange thing.

When Cheng Jin and Zhao Shulan finished their dinner in the room, Cheng Jin saw that it was almost time, so she made another big scene, smashing all the dishes in the room, pretending that Zhao Shulan and Cheng Yishou really couldn't get along.

On the surface, there was a turbulent situation, but in fact, Cheng Jin had asked Cheng Sheng to wait in the dark outside Cheng Yishou's study early on, and if someone came, she would be arrested.

Sure enough, when it got dark, someone couldn't hold back.

Because of the anger between Cheng Yishou and Zhao Shulan, no servant in the mansion wanted to go to Cheng Yishou to make trouble.

After Cheng Yishou sent someone to deliver the wine, only a servant helped Cheng Yishou to clean up the wine jar. Cheng Yishou smashed the wine jar and made special arrangements to say that he was drunk after going out, and he was drunk.

The servant was obedient. After he left, he exaggerated what Cheng Yishou had arranged.

"It's probably true that the old man and his wife were getting divorced. The old man was drunk in the house and couldn't even recognize people. I just went in to collect the wine, but the old man actually called my wife's name and got very angry after recognizing me. I think we should not make the old man unhappy."

When Cheng Jin heard this, she almost laughed crazy.

The servant was really talented. He could actually say that Cheng Yishou had recognized the wrong person, but it was just an accident, which was exactly the effect they wanted.

The man probably thought that he would not hesitate to wait after hearing this, but he did not expect that as soon as he opened the door of Cheng Yishou's study, he was caught by Cheng Sheng who had been waiting outside and thrown into the yard.

The maid cried loudly in the yard: "Master, please forgive me, I was just bewildered and did such a thing, I will never do it again."

Cheng Jin and Zhao Shulan heard the noise in the backyard and went over.

Zhao Shulan recognized her at a glance, she was the maid who swept the house.

Previously, Zhao Shulan was puzzled that a sloppy maid dressed herself up so beautifully and wore a flower on her head every day. Zhao Shulan just thought that the maid was young and beautiful, so it was understandable that she liked to dress up. Now, she thought that she was just thinking this.

She stepped forward and scolded the maid, "The mansion treats you well. You have never lacked food, clothing and other expenses. If you want to get married, you should tell me in advance, and I will let you go and find a good family for you. Why do you do such a thing?"

The maid just cried and was out of breath. She couldn't say anything.

Cheng Jin was a little worried that Zhao Shulan would be merciful again, so she touched Zhao Shulan's arm as if nothing happened.

[Mother, you can't be soft-hearted to such a person. 】

【She dared to do such a thing, which shows that she was not an ordinary maid, and there must be someone behind her! 】

【The book said that this maid was a confidant of the master who tricked my father to go outside the city today. She tricked my father to go to such a place today and planted her in the mansion, which meant that she was determined to make my father take a concubine and become like him. 】

【It's really hateful, this person can't be kept. 】

Cheng Yishou suddenly woke up after hearing what Cheng Jin said.

The person in front of him was indeed sent to the mansion by Zhou Quan a few days ago. He said that this maid was smart and clever, and it would be fine to stay in the mansion as a rough maid.

Zhou Quan just said this casually to give Cheng Yishou an excuse to keep this maid. Who would have thought that Cheng Yishou would really keep this young and beautiful maid in the courtyard as a sweeping maid.

Now that he thinks about it, he actually had this idea. Cheng Yishou thought Zhou Quan was his close friend.

Fortunately, he didn't fall for Zhou Quan's trick.

Cheng Yishou clenched his fists under his sleeves. He suppressed his anger and questioned the maid in front of him:

"Tell me, did Zhou Quan ask you to do this?"

[My father is so powerful. He saw through the clues of this maid so quickly.]

[It's Zhou Quan! It's Zhou Quan! It's Zhou Quan!]

[He just wants dad to have no interest in court affairs after taking concubines. In the end, he will give you a few more, and then report you in the court, saying that you have bad character.]

[Insidious! Cunning! Disgusting!

Cheng Sheng was also very angry when he heard this. He picked up a knife and was about to kill the maid.

"You bitch, you dare to frame my father!"

Cheng Yishou stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Sheng. "If you kill her, there will be no evidence. It's still useful to keep her."

Cheng Sheng felt that he was reckless and was really angry for his father, so he stepped back a few steps and let Cheng Yishou speak.

"Just throw this bitch to Zhou's house now. I will write him a letter. When we meet tomorrow, we will be enemies."

The servants beside him immediately went to do it after hearing what Cheng Yishou said.

[Roar, my father is domineering. In this way, he not only got the evidence, but also caught Zhou Quan's little braid. But he is too easy to be fooled by others. Don't believe everything others say! 】

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Cheng Yishou was stroking his beard with pride, but after hearing the second half, he was immediately ashamed. Jin'er

is right.

【My brother is also brave, but he is less prudent and lacks brains.】

Cheng Sheng: "..."

Is this the image he shows in front of his sister?

【My mother is good, but she is a little too kind. In the future, I must not be soft-hearted to such people, otherwise I will always be used by people with ulterior motives.】

Zhao Shulan lowered her head and began to reflect on herself.

Then, they looked at each other with a tacit understanding that they didn't know where it came from, and they all smiled faintly under the moonlight.

Although they had just experienced a disaster, they were still safe and sound.

After the matter was settled, Cheng Jin and Cheng Sheng went to rest, leaving only Cheng Yishou and Zhao Shulan to go back to the backyard.

Cheng Yishou held Zhao Shulan's hand and said earnestly, "Thank you for trusting me today."

Zhao Shulan smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, I was also suspicious when the fortune teller said that just now."

"What!" Cheng Yishou's eyes widened.

Zhao Shulan couldn't help but patted her back, "That's true, but if you think about it carefully, as long as I am still in this position of mistress, you will not be blessed with many wives and concubines."

Cheng Yishou laughed twice and hugged Zhao Shulan, "I couldn't ask for more."
