Chapter 148 Let’s Do It First
In the flower hall, Shen Ning and others were all silent.
Who would have thought that Cheng Luo would have the crazy idea of wanting the Jia family to help him follow the same path because Chen Tang changed his name to Liu Tang?
In this world, clans are very important, and many people regard clan interests as more important than national laws.
It is the same in modern society and just after liberation.
Cheng Luo is the successor of Marquis Xinping. Although his father was able to obtain the title of Marquis Xinping mainly because of Princess Baofeng's marriage, the Cheng family would not agree with this and they would only cling to his military merits.
It's too difficult.
"... Please uncle, please brother, help me."
Seeing that everyone was in a dilemma, Cheng Luo knelt down and said, "I really have no choice. As long as I think about my mother being buried in the Cheng family's ancestral tomb and being bullied by those people after her death, I, as a son... I can't sleep at night."
He originally wanted to wait until he married Yuanchun, and then have a good discussion with her and work out a solution together.
But once the thought came to my mind, I couldn't wait even a moment.
I always feel that the longer he waits, the more his mother will suffer.
"Hurry up, what are you doing?"
Jia Zhen tried his best to help him, "Mom~" His mother always had a lot of ideas, maybe she could come up with a solution, "What do you think we should do?"
"Auntie, please help me."
Cheng Luo noticed that everyone was looking at this aunt-in-law, so he kowtowed to her again.
"… Stand up and talk first."
Shen Ning was speechless about her eldest son, and said to Cheng Luo: "If you want to leave the Cheng family, you should talk to us nicely."
"Yes, get up quickly."
Jia Zhen, Jia Zhu and others helped Cheng Luo sit on the chair.
"Auntie, as long as my mother and I can get away from the Cheng family, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Cheng Luo wiped away a tear, "You don't know, my mother... is so pitiful."
Yuanchun silently handed him her handkerchief.
"She has never had a good life. She knew that the man had someone else he liked, but she didn't think anything about it. She just wanted him to live his life while she took me to live another life."
He was so happy when he was alone with his mother.
Both of them were very happy.
Eat whatever you want and play whatever you want.
If you want to catch sparrows, mom can help you make traps.
His mother was also his first teacher in learning reading and riding.
Although his grandfather ignored them, his mother would sit in the corner at every palace banquet, and he would also be bullied, but how many palace banquets could there be in a year? According to his mother, he could just endure it.
When he gets home, his mother can compensate him double.
The Cheng family was just like the imperial palace, but who would have thought that in such a dangerous place as the imperial palace, nothing happened to them and their son, but he was plotted against again and again in his own home, and almost died? Cheng Luo regretted it so much. If he had been more careful that time, he would not have almost died, and his mother would not have taken such a desperate path.
"But they just wanted a title..."
Cheng Luo knew that his presence was the original sin.
As long as he is here, the title of Cheng family can only belong to him.
That's why those people can't tolerate him.
Cheng Luo was particularly distressed, and his mother initially just wanted to leave the palace.
Even after getting married, I never thought I would have him.
If he wasn't there, with his mother's non-competitive personality, the Cheng family would just support her and not do anything.
But with him.
Although my mother said that she was grateful to God for giving him to her, as long as she thought about her mother's death because of him...
"If I could, I would destroy this title."
Cheng Luo did not want to inherit the title. He looked at Yuanchun and said, "But please believe me, I have the ability to earn another title for you." He had prepared everything, and he would hand it over to his uncle the emperor when the retired emperor died.
When the time comes, if he brings down a prince, the emperor uncle will definitely not be stingy with a marquis.
“…”
Yuanchun was shocked by his expression, "Aunt~" She couldn't help but look at Shen Ning, because if she were Cheng Luo, she couldn't accept this title...
But you can't just earn a title if you want to? "What are you looking at me for?"
Shen Ning had a headache, "And you shouldn't have told us that you wanted to destroy the title, Cheng Luo."
“…”
Cheng Luo bowed his head deeply.
He told his uncle the emperor.
But this title was bestowed by the retired emperor.
The emperor uncle could only say that if he didn’t accept the title, he would be unworthy of his mother’s life.
"…The Emperor is busy arranging a marriage for you. Don't you understand what he means?"
Shen Ning sighed, "Who was it that impeached the princess after her death, saying that she was not worthy of being the daughter of the royal family and a role model for the world?"
In those years, the emperor was willing to sacrifice even the crown prince for his face and power. What would Princess Baofeng, an unfavored daughter, do? "Whether it's the title or leaving the Cheng family, you must first pass the test of your grandfather."
The emperor has no say in the matter.
"Since he is your grandfather, then as a junior, what does it matter if you cry a few more times?"
I am willing to sacrifice my life to bring down the emperor.
What's more, just going there to cry? "What do you mean by not being worthy of being a daughter of the royal family? Do daughters of the royal family deserve to be bullied? Then go and wish the person who impeached Princess Baofeng, wish his daughter, his granddaughter, and his granddaughter to be bullied when they get married."
From the very beginning, the kid was headed in the wrong direction.
But thinking about how he was so sick that he almost died, but he still managed to hold on and not let Princess Baofeng be buried with that man under that situation, Shen Ning couldn't blame him, "What's the point of you only fighting against the Cheng family? They are naturally superior to you.
Your grandfather and uncle ruled the country with filial piety, and the old lady of the Cheng family put down the word "filial piety". Because of some things, your grandfather and uncle can't do anything about it. "
“…”
Cheng Luo's face turned pale.
The censors have the power to report rumors. After my mother passed away, it was Censor Zheng who impeached the family. The Prince of Nan'an helped the Cheng family, and the emperor uncle scolded him. However, it was precisely because of his position that my grandfather became dissatisfied.
Now that he wants to overturn his mother's verdict, the first person he has to go through is his grandfather. But how could his grandfather admit his mistake and slap himself in the face?
Although he had found out a lot about the Prince of Nan'an, his grandfather was old and suspicious, so even if he let him go... it would only alert the enemy and would be of no use to his mother.
Could it be that he could only let his mother be bullied at the Cheng family's ancestral tomb? "The princess is your grandfather's biological daughter. Bullying her is a contempt for the imperial power."
Seeing the boy's expression, Shen Ning could only say one more thing, "The Cheng family bullied your mother, what do they think of the royal dignity?"
“…”
Cheng Luo looked up suddenly, "Auntie, please teach me."
"Why do you suspect that your mother was bullied by the Cheng family underground?"
"I'm dreaming~"
As he spoke, tears welled up in Cheng Luo's eyes and his vision became blurred.
Shen Ning was also very distressed when she saw his expression, "Today is the wedding day of you and our Yuanchun. You are even more sad and upset when you think of your mother. We feel sorry for you, and the emperor can naturally feel sorry for you as well.
You have to know that for some things, you don’t have to wait for others to know before you do them. You can do them first and then let others know.”
What? Cheng Luo's heartbeat was so loud that he could hear it.
He thought about stealing his mother away, but he was in the Cheng family, and any disturbance would...
"Aren't you here to ask my uncle and elder brother for help?"
There are some things that the aunt can't say directly, but Yuanchun can. She said, "There is no one in your family, but there is someone in our family!"
Yes! Yes, yes, yes! This is his goal. Cheng Luo stood up and saluted excitedly: "Uncle, please help me. Brother, please help me. I beg you."
"What are you begging for?"
Jia She is a filial son at heart, and he has long been fed up with seeing Cheng Luo acting like this.
But he couldn't think of a solution.
But now, the worst that can happen is that I'll be reprimanded by the Emperor again.
"Zhen'er, lend me twenty palace guards."
He just took the responsibility for this matter.
Jia She said, "Anyway, I am a well-known gangster in the capital."
"…What's the hurry?"
Shen Ning was speechless. "Relocating a grave is a big deal. We should at least ask for permission first..."
"Aunt, I have them all."
Cheng Luo was shaking with excitement. "Today is a good day. It is suitable for getting married, praying, cleaning, moving the scepter, planting, setting up the bed, opening the cemetery, breaking the ground, moving the grave, and praying for children."
Shen Ning: “…”
Everyone: “…”
"I have already asked the director of the Imperial Observatory to look at the cemetery. I can invite the Taoist priest right away."
"…Then what are you waiting for?"
Shen Ning stood up and said, "Let's all go."
"Sister-in-law, I'm alone..."
Jia She thought that he would take all the responsibility for the crime.
"What do you mean you're alone?"
Shen Ning ignored him, "Isn't Yuanchun my niece? A son-in-law is half a son, Zhen'er, you all come together!"
"yes!"
Jia Zhen agreed loudly.
He has never done anything so outrageous as this.
No, he had done a lot of outrageous little things in the past.
Every time I was either beaten by my father or scolded by my mother.
It's a rare event that his mother fully supports.
Jia Zhen felt his blood boiling, "Son, I'll go back and call for help."
"Go ahead!"
Shen Ning waved her hands.
In a flash, the men were gone.
Only Yuanchun and Shen Ning were left.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"...You don't want Cheng Luo to be half my son?"
"How can that be possible?"
Yuanchun smiled.
"That's all."
Shen Ning walked out with a smile, "The old lady may still be worried about your father's official position. Go and talk to her about this to divert her attention."
"……Um!"
Yuanchun was quite impressed by her aunt, "Aunt, I will take you back home first, and then I will go and tell grandma."
"Aren't you tired after a long day today?"
Shen Ning didn't want her to send her off, "Go ahead! Why should we be so polite when we are family?"
She drove Yuanchun away, looked at the setting sun, and returned home leisurely.
Tomorrow, the Jia family will probably become famous in the capital again.
But it doesn't matter.
Without Wang Ziteng, the Jia family now has no royal family to fear.
As long as the extraordinary matter is not too outrageous, no matter whether it is the emperor emeritus or the emperor, they will only remember the merits of their ancestors and let it go lightly.
Outsiders...
Anyone with a little bit of common sense should know that they should not mess with the Jia family.
After all, if they get angry, there will be some consequences that they cannot afford.
Shen Ning suddenly felt that she could go home and have another glass of imperial wine to celebrate.
It has been so long since I entered the Red Mansion, and the air today is particularly sweet.
…
The Cheng family, because of Cheng Luo's marriage, all the young and old of the Cheng family in Beijing are very tired today.
"Master, we are so busy today, why didn't the Marquis come over to say thank you?"
The Sixth Old Lady was very dissatisfied, "I think that child doesn't know anything at all!" It must be because of his good family background, otherwise...
“…”
Patriarch Cheng said nothing.
He knew in his heart that Cheng Luo actually hated them in his heart.
But they just had to know this in their hearts, and no one dared to say it out loud.
Now I just hope that the kid can get married, have kids, and when he’s older, he can understand the helplessness of the clan.
The dead are dead, and they, the living, still have to live their lives.
The clan has tried their best to help him restrain the old sister-in-law, and as for the rest... they can't do anything else.
"It's Ze'er..."
“Shut up!”
What is Cheng Ze? Cheng Luo is the future of the Cheng family.
The Emperor, like Princess Baofeng, was once disliked by the Grand Emperor.
The siblings huddled together for warmth in the palace. Now the emperor still cares about the princess. Even though the princess passed away, he still cares about his nephew.
Otherwise, such a good imperial farm would not have been bestowed upon Cheng Luo.
"The person inside is confused, are you confused too?"
Patriarch Cheng was very stern, "He Cheng Ze shouldn't have come here today." Relying on the old lady, how many years can the old lady live? "No matter how good he is, it's useless if he's not the emperor's nephew!"
"I'm just saying it in front of you!"
"I can't tell anyone about it."
Patriarch Cheng was very angry and was about to scold him again when Cheng Ze's voice came from outside the door. He ran in breathlessly, "Sixth Grandfather, it's bad. The Marquis has taken many people to the cemetery."
What? Patriarch Cheng frowned, "Doesn't he often go to the cemetery?"
"No, this time I brought a lot of people from the Jia family."
Cheng Ze has been paying attention to Cheng Luo, "Sixth Grandpa, is he going to move the princess's grave?"
Relocate graves?
The clan leader and his wife stood up at once, "Quick! Someone come."
How many times had Cheng Luo quarreled with them over the relocation of the grave? He even threatened to commit suicide.
It was because he was in poor health at that time, and the emperor did not support him, that he failed.
now……
Thinking of the rumors he heard today, Clan Leader Cheng was afraid that Jia She, that scoundrel, would be persuaded by him.
"Someone come quickly."
Having said that, he ran out first.
After a short while, the Xinping Marquis Mansion was filled with noise.
Although most of the Cheng family members have developed in other places, Beijing is their root.
However, there are many powerful people in the capital, so the newly appointed Marquis of Xinping brought his clansmen to follow the Prince of Nan'an and slowly grew stronger outside.
now……
The ancestral tomb is the foundation of the Cheng family.
After the princess got married, she specially changed a lot of land.
That's all under the princess' name.
If the princess's grave is moved...
"Please invite my sister-in-law."
Patriarch Cheng doesn’t want to be the ultimate villain.
It was natural to ask the old lady of the Cheng family.
So, in the middle of the night, the emperor had already gone to bed, but was woken up by Eunuch Liu.
"Your Majesty, this is bad."
Although Eunuch Liu said something bad, there was joy in his voice, "The Jia family and the Cheng family are fighting."
What? The emperor sat up, "What's going on?"
So soon?
His surprise was beyond words.
The Queen also stood up and waited anxiously for Eunuch Liu to tell them about this great event.
"It's about moving the grave! The Jia family helped the marquis move the princess' grave."
Huh? Ahhhh???
