"What should we do? Won't we get implicated?"
"Why don't we beg the lady to have mercy and return the indenture to us so we can escape for our lives?"
"Look at those twelve big oafs, practicing archery so hard. Is the young master choosing them to practice day and night so hard that he wants them to be the first to die?"
"When His Majesty sends troops to confiscate our property, the young master will definitely want to escape from the capital... These people are the scapegoats chosen by the young master to clear the way for him and die. They are truly pitiful."
"........"
The second sister, standing to the side, was so angry that her pretty face turned ashen, and her chest heaved.
These words are absolutely infuriating!
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down.
Even the servants they bought wanted to sever all ties with the Zhou family.
"Fourth brother, are you just going to let them spread this around like this?" The second sister pursed her lips angrily, wanting to rush over and argue with them, but she was afraid of ruining Zhou Cheng's important plans.
Zhou Cheng peeled a grape and stuffed it into his second sister's mouth. He then glanced at her pale face and laughed, "Don't be angry. If you keep getting angry, your little face will turn rosy."
"Don't forget, the imperial physician sent by His Majesty is still living in our residence!"
"He was watching our every move, afraid that we would pack our bags and run away."
"Are we just going to let them spread this around?" The second sister quickly composed herself, reverting to her delicate and frail appearance.
Zhou Cheng squinted, lowered his head, and glanced at a dark corner.
A figure vanished quickly.
Zhou Cheng withdrew his gaze and said with a deep smile, "Go ahead and spread it. The more miserable it is, the better."
"Only when things are bad can we see clearly who is sincere and who is fake."
"Father has been gone for ten days. He must have reached the border by now."
"It's getting dark, time's up, it's time to go to the Lin family to collect the debt..."
The words were spoken.
Zhou Cheng patted his clothes.
He stood up, took the booklet handed to him by the servant, and strode towards the gate of the mansion.
The servants had already prepared the gold and silver treasures that Zhou Cheng had given to Lin Jiaoyun over the past three years, but Zhou Cheng hadn't taken any action until today.
Because he knew it very well!
I went to the Lin family a few days ago to ask for the money, but they definitely won't give it to me.
If he were to ask for it today, the Lin family would give it to him without hesitation, because Lin Jiaoyun and her father would be eager to sever ties with him. He understands human nature all too well!
“Ah Cheng.”
"Whoosh."
Her soft, fragrant body wafted in with the wind and nestled into his arms.
Zhou Cheng caught her in a full embrace, his chest jolted from the impact, but his smile deepened. He reached out and affectionately stroked Cheng Xianyi's black hair: "My fiancée missed me again."
Ever since Zhou Cheng mentioned wanting a hug, Cheng Xianyi has kept it in mind.
She would remember every word he said.
Moreover, all of these will come true.
The moment Cheng Xianyi saw him, her indifferent and cold eyes would burst forth with endless light. She nodded obediently, then placed her small hand in Zhou Cheng's palm and held it tightly.
"Not again."
What is that?
"It has always been."
“Okay, always.” Zhou Cheng looked at her serious and determined expression and chuckled softly. How come he never noticed how cute she was before? She was so trustworthy, easy to coax, and incredibly stubborn.
