Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Each Shows His Magical Power

The wind blew through his legs, and he felt as if there were tiny snakes crawling on his skin, which made him shudder.

Cui Han's face was almost distorted.

When the first bullet hit his coccyx, he was forced to fall off the horse in an extremely inelegant posture. Then another bullet hit his waist and abdomen. He felt an extreme itching pain and he pulled it subconsciously. Then the laces were pulled loose, and his robe suddenly burst open. His hands froze in mid-air, and when he realized what had happened, it was too late.

It was as if he was at the execution ground, undergoing a public execution. The eyes that were originally focused on him quickly changed.

At this moment, he didn't even care about his anger. He reacted immediately, rolled his eyes, and fell straight down.

The servant of the Cui Mansion was also very agile. He quickly grabbed the cloak he had brought and rushed over. He quickly wrapped up his young master, ran straight to the parking lot, and carried him away from the scene.

The polo field was silent for a long time and no one spoke.

The horses stopped and wandered around the pasture, and the people on horseback had not yet come to their senses.

Cheng Yiqiao rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

The man who had been so calm and composed just now left the stage in such a ridiculous way.

Cui Han was too ferocious, and this ferocity overshadowed the surprise he had just brought to her.

It was like a banished immortal standing on a high platform, suddenly falling off the altar and lying on the ground with a mouthful of mud, all his image destroyed.

She didn't even have time to feel regretful, as she had completely kicked this person out of her sight.

But who did this?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that someone was plotting against Cui Han.

Cheng Yiqiao thought about the original intention of today's polo match and couldn't help but glance at Meng Ruchuan and Wei Shuting.

Meng Ruchuan was even more confused than her and felt extremely embarrassed for Cui Han. This young man, only eighteen years old, was younger than her. Although he was a little shy and stuttered when he was nervous, he was like a sword drawn from its sheath, with a domineering aura once he came on stage. He was the only one who had suppressed Cui Han just now.

Why do you say he can suppress Cui Han?

His skills are far superior to Cui Han's, and Cui Han relied on the cooperation and skills of his teammates to score a goal under him.

Meng Ruchuan saw this and knew that he was unlikely to do such a mean thing, so she turned her gaze to Wei Shuting.

Wei Shuting was staring at Meng Ruchuan at this time. If he didn't do it, then it could only be Meng Ruchuan.

The plot just now clearly came from the military camp. Meng Ruchuan comes from a military family, so who else could it be if not him?

Even if Meng Ruchuan himself seems to be upright, there is no guarantee that his parents or people around him would do such a bad thing.

But it really makes me feel relieved.

His chance came when he eliminated Cui Han, his strongest competitor.

He knew clearly that Cheng Yiqiao would not marry far away in Yizhou, she just wanted to stay in the capital.

The usually silent man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he knew his chance had come, he became a little nervous.

He quietly went to look for Cheng Yiqiao and met her cold gaze.

Wei Shuting's head exploded.

Is this a suspicion on him?

Just as he was about to explain himself, Cheng Yiqiao looked away and asked Shi Feiyan, who was still in shock,

"Are we still going to fight?"

Shi Feiyan didn't care to respond, and asked her in confusion, "Qiao Qiao, what happened just now? Did someone frame Brother Cui? What should Brother Cui do? How can he face people in the future? Oh my God..."

Shi Feiyan just brought Cui Han into thinking about it, and he felt the sky fall and the earth split.

It would be fine if he was not well-known in normal times and it would be a joke and forgotten, but Cui Han is a leader among the younger generation and has the expectations of the public. Today, such an indecent thing happened in public. Not to mention getting married, he will be laughed at for the rest of his life even if he becomes an official.

Cheng Yiqiao shook his head helplessly, "I don't know..."

Shi Feiyue didn't care about playing ball and hurriedly chased after him. Shi Feiyan thought that Cui Han didn't want to see anyone at the moment, so she shouted and called her brother back.

"Brother, come back!"

Shi Feiyue dotes on his sister very much. He dotes on her so much that he won't go west if she points east. People say he is a sister-slave. He stopped immediately when he heard the voice, looked at Cui Han who disappeared in the distance, and sighed heavily.

The polo match can no longer be played.

Meng Ruchuan got off his horse and strode towards his sister's table with a stern face. As soon as he sat down, he whispered to his sister, "Did Dad do this secretly?"

"How is it possible!" Meng Runing also found it extremely strange. When he was questioned by his brother, he naturally thought of his generous and unrestrained father at home. For the sake of his son, it was not impossible that he signaled his subordinates to teach Cui Han a lesson.

So her excuse was totally unfounded.

Seeing this, Meng Ruchuan was so angry that he stood up and said, "A gentleman would not do that!"

If he could marry the daughter of the Cheng family through this means, he would rather not have this marriage.

Meng Ruchuan left his sister behind.

Meng Runing knew her brother's temper. He was a very upright person. His leaving was tantamount to giving up Cheng Yiqiao, so she hurriedly chased after him.

Seeing the brother and sister behaving like this, Cheng Yiqiao became confused again.

But she had no intention of pursuing the matter because Cheng Yian was missing.

"Where is my sister?" she asked the maid beside her.

The old woman replied, "The third young lady said she went to the toilet."

"How long have you been gone?"

The old woman was just watching the excitement, and was stumped by the question. She said ashamedly, "Miss, it seems I have been gone for a while..."

The other maidservant had noticed it early on. She had waited for Cheng Yian for a long time but he didn't come back, so she went to the backyard to look for him. Now she had just returned with the news.

"The third aunt has a stomachache and has gone to rest in the carriage..."

Cheng Yiqiao is anxious

, "Hurry up and change my clothes, I want to go see..."

Yan Qi and Zheng Ying and others who dismounted later apologized and went to the pavilion first. When they came out of the pavilion and were about to go down the stairs and walk along the stone path in the yard to the parking lot, a man emerged from the withered bamboo forest. It was Wei Shuting who did not bother to change his clothes.

He was still wearing his dark blue riding suit, waiting at the intersection where she had to pass, and bowed to her.

"Miss Cheng, it's not me, don't misunderstand!"

He hurried to explain himself. If Cheng Yiqiao mistakenly thought it was him who did it, it would be worse than being outdone by Cui Han.

Cheng Yiqiao was wrapped in a cloak, holding the heater in his hands, and stared at him quietly, "Whether it's you or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Two maids and four old women guarded him on both sides, all staring at Wei Shuting with eager eyes.

Wei Shuting was speechless because of her.

The situation has come to this point, it can be considered that God is helping him. If he continues to be reserved, he will miss the opportunity.

So he took two steps back, bowed solemnly to Cheng Yiqiao,

"Ms. Cheng Er, you won the first prize in the polo match at Yanshan Palace three years ago. I look up to you as if you were the sun and the moon. I am not talented, but I secretly admire you. I want to marry you and respect, cherish and love you in the future. Please give me a chance."

As Wei Shuting said this, sweat was already pouring down his forehead.

He had rehearsed these words in his mind countless dark nights, hoping to say them out loud one day. Today, he finally said them out loud and took a deep breath.

Cheng Yiqiao was slightly stunned.

She had met Wei Shuting several times and had some understanding of him. He was usually a taciturn person, not outstanding in the young master's circle, and did not like to show off. He was a steady and responsible person. However, she was still a little surprised that he had the courage to say these words today.

He is frank.

She doesn't have to hide it.

"Wei Shuting, I'm telling you the truth. Because of Yao Yuzhen, I don't want to have anything to do with your Wei family."

Wei Shuting smiled bitterly, "The Yao family is the Yao family, and my Wei family is the Wei family. Although we are relatives by marriage, we are also from two different families. Any official family in the capital can be linked to me. You can't just kill me for this."

Wei Shuting felt very aggrieved.

Cheng Yiqiao sneered softly, "I see you following Yao Yuzhen from time to time, you two cousins ​​seem to be very close."

This made Wei Shuting even more upset. He looked at Cheng Yiqiao in embarrassment.

"Miss Cheng, if I say that I just want to see you with the help of my cousin, would you believe me?"

Cheng Yiqiao often plays polo with Shi Feiyan, and Shi Feiyan always calls Yao Yuzhuang when she has something to do, and Yao Yuzhuang likes to call Wei Shuting...

Cheng Yiqiao suddenly became speechless.

Such directness left her speechless for a moment.

After a moment of silence, she said expressionlessly,

"So what? If you want to marry me, do I have to marry you? Okay, Master Wei, I have to go find my sister. Please get out of my way."

Cheng Yiqiao usually had a very domineering and lazy look of arrogance, but this time she spoke with a cold tone. Wei Shuting did not dare to hesitate at all and obeyed subconsciously. He retreated to the side of the road without saying a word and watched her go away.

Cheng Yiqiao rushed to the parking lot, but was told by the people left behind by Cheng Yian that she was not feeling well and had returned home early, so Cheng Yiqiao didn't need to worry about her.

"How long has she been gone?"

"It's been a while..."

It was not a good idea to chase after her, and the old man in the mansion was still waiting for the result of her polo match today. Cheng Yiqiao had no choice but to return home. Before getting on the car, she called one of her maids and said, "Go to Lu's mansion and ask about my aunt's condition. Is it serious? What are the symptoms? Do you understand?"

The old woman immediately took the order and left.

Cheng Yian did not return to Lu's house. She was blocked by Fan Yulin in an alley at a corner.

Just now, after she beat up Fan Yulin, she just left him and went back to the parking lot to leave, but who knew that Fan Yulin would follow her here.

Fan Yulin was held by two servants in front of the carriage, panting and asking her,

"An An, why did you attack Cui Han? Did he bully you? Or did you do that on purpose because you didn't want to see him marry your second sister?"

Cheng Yian knew what his purpose was. He lifted the car curtain and looked at the bruised man, and said with a smile,

"Are you trying to threaten me with this, thinking that I'm afraid you'll make it public and force me to deal with you?"

"I tell you, I don't care at all. Even if Cui Han knew about it, what could he do?"

"Get out of here!"

Qiu Qing's face was very gloomy when he saw this. "Master Fan, if you still hold back when I count to three, I will roll over you."

Fan Yulin saw Qiu Qing's ability and didn't dare to risk his life. He limped to the side and waited for Cheng Yian's car curtain to pass in front of him. He suddenly spoke,

"Then Cui Hanru is like Xie Tinglanyu. Did you fall in love with him and turn your love into hatred, so you deliberately ruined his future?"

Cheng Yian thought Fan Yulin might have lost his mind, so he ignored him.

When the carriage drove away, Fan Yulin's face cleared of emotion and he glanced at the wall at the back of the alley.

Cui Han was sitting in a carriage not far from the wall.

Of course Cui Han was furious and ashamed. From the moment he was lifted onto the carriage, he could no longer conceal the violence in his heart, which was all revealed on his face, revealing his viciousness.

The person behind this is extremely vicious. Not only does he want to ruin his marriage, but he also wants to ruin his future.

When he returned to Beijing this time, the emperor originally planned to appoint him to a position in one of the six ministries. According to his political achievements in these years while serving in other posts, he would definitely be chosen from the top three ministries, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Personnel. He had already chosen the position of Langzhong in the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Reward Department. Once he took this position, he would be on equal footing with Cheng Yiyan.

And after what happened today, for the sake of the reputation of the government office, the emperor might have to transfer him to another post outside the capital to let him stay out of the spotlight.

And these are secondary.

What's even worse is that the Cheng family completely shut him out.

How he fulfilled his mother's mission.

Hateful, hateful, and annoying.

Once he finds the murderer behind the scenes, he will kill him with his own hands.

The first person he thought of was Meng Ruchuan. Governor Meng was born in the military and climbed to a high position step by step with his military achievements. He married a noble lady from Yizhou and got rid of his soldierly airs. He guessed that Meng Ruchuan's bad nature had not changed, so for the sake of his son, he teased him wantonly.

But it doesn't make sense if you think about it.

Governor Meng is a general on the border, and many members of the Cui family serve in the court. Governor Meng would not risk offending the Cui family by doing such a ridiculous thing.

By doing this, he is eliminating himself. Does that mean the Cheng family will definitely be interested in his son?

Cui Han felt that Governor Meng would not be so stupid.

Wei Shuting's family is of good character, and Chengnan Hou is also an open-minded person, so it is impossible for them to carry out such a vicious plan.

So who is it?

Somehow I pictured Yian's face in my mind.

The icy girl had an inexplicable hostility towards him.

He immediately sent people to trace the direction of the bullet.

As a result, his people saw Fan Yulin coming out from inside, hunched over, holding onto the wall. The guards of the Cui family did not dare to act rashly and chased Fan Yulin here, where they heard what had just been said.

The guard knelt at Cui Han's feet and reported to him what he had just found out.

"It is definitely the third daughter of the Cheng family."

Cui Han's expression was full of strangeness. "I have no grudge against her, why would she want to harm me? My marriage to Cheng Yiqiao does not affect her in any way, so why would she hold a grudge against me?"

No, he suddenly remembered his mother's secret thoughts.

He was forced to learn from Cheng Mingyu since he was young. If he made any mistake, his mother would whip him. She was so obsessed that how could her son not guess what she was thinking?

How could Cheng Yian know about this?

That’s not right. If she knew, shouldn’t she tell Cheng Mingyu directly?

Once she told Cheng Mingyu, he wouldn't even have the chance to come to the polo field today.

Few people knew about the secret room in the Cui family. Moreover, there were many young masters in the capital who were urged by their elders to learn from Mr. Cheng. He didn't think that Cheng Yian knew about this.

He couldn't find Cheng Yian's motive for harming him.

At this time, the guard gave a trembling answer.

"That Miss Cheng San... probably wants to destroy you because she can't get the love she wants." He told Cui Han what Fan Yulin said exactly.

Cui Han was obviously stunned, and his lips twitched violently.

If this were an ordinary thing, he would not believe it.

But after experiencing his mother's abnormal behavior, he suddenly felt that this possibility could not be ruled out.

Cui Han's eyes were cold and gleaming. "Investigate. I want all the details about Cheng Yian."

*

The polo field was close to Cheng's home, and in a short while Cheng Yiqiao had rushed back to his mansion.

In fact, many servants of the Cheng family were serving at the polo field today, and the news had already been reported to the ancestor.

When Cheng Yiqiao came back, the old ancestor had already expressed his regret and asked her what happened, curious about who did it.

"It's just the Meng family and the Wei family."

The old ancestor shook his head and said, "Otherwise, although Governor Meng is a bit unruly, he is a generous person and would not do such a thing that would ruin someone's future. He would not

The marriage between the two families led to hostility between the Cui family and the family."

"It's even more impossible for the Wei family. The Marquis of Chengnan is a prudent man with a very good reputation in the court. As for Wei Shuting... if he didn't have a deep hatred for Cui Han, he wouldn't have done such a cruel thing. I guess it must be the Cui family's secret enemy who doesn't want to see him marry into the Cheng family and wants to destroy him."

"No matter what, Cui Han has brought such trouble upon herself, which shows that she is not a perfect gentleman. Just let her go." Thinking of how difficult it was for Cheng Yiqiao to get married, the old ancestor felt so distressed that he held her in his arms.

"Don't worry, kid. You see, people in this world are treacherous. You should be more cautious about your marriage. Don't worry, your grandmother and father love you."

Cheng Yiqiao didn't take it seriously. She was more concerned about her sister's health.

"She has been sick every other day since she took the medicine. Grandmother sent a maid to the Lu family to scold her and told her not to do anything wrong again. She also asked the old doctor to go to her house to check on her so that she would not develop a serious illness."

The grandfather and grandson immediately put aside the matter of the polo match and arranged for the maids and servants to send the imperial physician to Lu's mansion.

*

It was not difficult to find out about Cheng Yian's affairs. At the beginning of the afternoon, the guards of the Cui family reported Cheng Yian's background and even his past with Fan Yulin to Cui Han.

Cui Han did not return home at this moment. He didn't know what was waiting for him when he returned. He was in a private residence in the south city.

The pain in his tailbone and waist came sharply. He threw away the white shirt, wrapped himself in a dark black robe, and lay motionless on the couch.

It was as if the outer shell had been broken, and he no longer needed to cover himself up. He lay there with his arms and legs spread out, his eyes filled with viciousness like a deep pool.

"Fan Yulin?"

"Yes," the dark guard knelt at his feet, looked at the young master who had lost his moist outer skin, and whispered,

"Fan Yulin and Miss Cheng San have been childhood sweethearts. The Fan family once proposed marriage to the fourth branch of the Cheng family, but was rejected by the old lady of the fourth branch."

Cui Han sneered, his thin lips curved like a blade, his white fingers grasped something and reached upwards, where a beam of light came down from the ceiling.

He was like a man trapped in the abyss, trying to grasp the light. "A toad wants to eat the flesh of a swan... He deserves it."

So what?

They are all Cheng Mingyu's daughters, so he can take them away after they get married.

He suddenly became interested in Cheng Yian.

Since she ruined his marriage, she will try it.

"Find an opportunity to expose the fact that Fan Yulin is in love with Cheng Yian, and let everyone in the city know about it. With Lu Xusheng's pride, he will definitely divorce her."

"She will have a bad reputation and I will lose face. We are not meant to be together. Cheng Mingyu will have to marry his daughter to me even if he doesn't want to."

Cui Han laughed at himself, patted the table, and asked the secret guard to do it.

Fan Yulin, the toad mentioned by Cui Han, is currently writing poetry in his study.

It is written exactly like the sentence "When you are not here, the rain is falling and I have no place to send my longing. When you are not here, the flowing water is gurgling, just like my heart is full of love and I can't control it."

If Cui Han is brought into the game, with Cui Han's methods and character, he will definitely make the fact that he admires Cheng Yian a hot topic. Lu Xusheng is not a man of that character, how can he tolerate his wife having someone else in her heart? By then, Lu Xusheng will have no choice but to divorce Cheng Yian.

Once he used Cui Han's hand, he forced the two of them to divorce.

It is not impossible for him to propose to Cheng Yian again.

He and Cheng Yian know each other very well and have been childhood sweethearts. He is infatuated with Cheng Yian and can be regarded as the second He Qingyun. He firmly believes that between him and Cui Han, Cheng Mingyu will definitely choose him.

He always has the ability to use the opponent's force to counter attack him and to seek wealth and honor in dangerous situations.

After writing it, he gave it to his trusted servant.

"Think of a way to tell the Cui family."

It was the early afternoon again, and Cheng Mingyu returned home at this time as usual.

The government office was certainly very busy, but he still turned down some less urgent official duties today and returned early for his daughter's marriage. But as soon as he entered the room, the head of the palace guards followed him in and knelt before him.

"Master, there was an incident at the polo field today."

A corner shop was built under the high wall of the Cheng family garden, with many Cheng family guards stationed there. There were visible guards below and hidden guards on the branches of the trees on the top of the hill. And exactly what Cheng Yian and his servant did today was seen by the hidden guards. Any movement inside and outside the Cheng family was reported to Cheng Mingyu.

After hearing what happened, Cheng Mingyu was silent for a long time.

"She ordered someone to embarrass Cui Han, making him look bad in public, and then beat up Fan Yulin?"

What are these two little enemies doing?

He could imagine Cheng Yian's fierce and fierce appearance.

Cheng Mingyu could understand and support beating Fan Yulin.

Mr. Fan was familiar with his third brother, and with the help of his third brother, he let his son study in the Cheng family school for a few years. The Fan family was next to the Nan Mansion, and Fan Yulin had helped An An in the school several times. Cheng Mingyu knew about it. He also saw that Fan Yulin liked An An, so he later found an excuse to send Fan Yulin back.

I originally thought that the child was kind and gentle, and was just a young boy who admired Ai. Now it seems that he is just a scoundrel and deserves a beating.

But when Cheng Yian attacked Cui Han, Cheng Mingyu was shocked.

Why does this kid dislike Cui Han again?

Cui Han had been in office for many years, but Cheng Yian had never met him.

No matter what, if the child gets into trouble, the father must take care of the consequences.

"Dispatch personnel from the Ding Department to secretly monitor Cui Han and the Fan family to prevent them from harming the Third Miss."

"Yes, sir."

The Cheng family guards are divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D. The A group is nominally the family servants, stationed in various shops in the Cheng family garden. This group does not have many people. The B group is responsible for spying, and the intelligence here is naturally related to the family's rise and fall and the government. The Bing group travels around the world, guarding and managing the Cheng family's business. The D group is considered to be the secret guards. This group has the largest number of people, including people from all walks of life, and is spread all over the capital and the four borders.

These people are Cheng Mingyu's eyes, ears and minions.

A gentleman does what he should do and does not do what he should not do. As the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Mingyu cannot be without some means.

Since their daughter has provoked these people, there is no guarantee that Cui Han and Fan Yulin will not do something extreme.

He had to take precautions.

"Also, has Lu Xusheng returned to Beijing?"

Cheng Mingyu knew that Lu Xusheng had gone to Xuanfu yesterday.

The chief of the guards replied, "When I entered the house, I just received news that the young lady had entered through the west gate."

Cheng Mingyu rubbed his brows and said, "Send a message to him and ask him to bring An An back home when he has time. I have something to ask them."

What exactly is their feud with Cui Han?
