In broad daylight, Su Shien and Han Zeyu, wearing couple nightgowns, stood shoulder to shoulder in the Cheng family's old house.
Su Shien still couldn't understand why she had to wear a nightgown?
Isn't this just covering one's ears and stealing the bell, deceiving oneself and others?
Han Zeyu shook his head, indicating that the sense of ceremony was very important.
"Just like every time before our nighttime communication, I always have to come up with some new tricks to please my husband."
Su Shien coughed lightly twice, and even his metaphors had to do with adult topics. It turned out that Mr. Qingbai lived up to his reputation and his character remained unshakable.
Han Zeyu had been here once before, so he took Su Shien to visit the Cheng family's old house with ease.
The valuables were definitely gone, leaving only some large pieces of furniture that were difficult to move.
After decades of baptism, the tables and chairs have become dilapidated.
Han Zeyu used his special powers to clear the dust in the ancestral hall to make it easier for Su Shien to find clues.
After a moment, Su Shien stared at a pattern in a daze.
Judging from the shape and position of the pattern, it should be the Cheng family's crest.
The same symbol also appeared in the secret compartment in the basement that Yuger found in his early years.
Among my grandparents’ belongings, there is also a wooden plaque engraved with the same pattern.
It would be too far-fetched to insist that it was a coincidence.
In other words, my grandmother was indeed a member of the Cheng family, and should have been the most persecuted direct branch.
Han Zeyu was writing and drawing on the ground with a branch. The Cheng family was broken up and fell apart because they dug out a jade mine with a radioactive source.
If Cheng Yuanhang's family is related to the earlier Cheng family, would they know something?
"Would you say they are witnesses, bystanders, perpetrators, or vested interests?"
Su Shien rubbed his brows and said with a headache, "If they really are from the same Cheng family, judging from their current family background and situation, they are likely to have participated in the harm process and thus become the vested interests."
"Then please ask Jin Wenxuan to investigate. The Jin family has extensive connections and is more knowledgeable about what happened back then."
When Han Zeyu mentioned the downfall of the Cheng family, an idea suddenly occurred to him.
"Last year, strange things also appeared in the Jin family's mine. After the miners stopped working and before the mine collapsed, many bad rumors spread."
Su Shien understood immediately: "You said it's very likely that someone is using the same old tricks again, wanting the Jin family to repeat the mistakes of the Cheng family."
Han Zeyu's eyes are full of stars. He is indeed the man of his family. They are so in tune with each other!
"Let's go, first find out the details of the Cheng family, and then we'll make other plans for the rest."
Han Zeyu restored the dust to its original state, and then the couple left the Cheng family's old house.
Lin Jing was busy dealing with rumors outside when he suddenly received instructions from his benefactor. When he heard that he was to investigate the scum Cheng Yuanhang, he immediately became alert.
That bastard had beaten a maid to death and had many bad habits. How could such a person want to marry his sister?
Jin Wenxuan didn't even need to take action. Lin Jing had already investigated this person thoroughly, especially his private life.
Although the source of these rumors cannot be traced, they can't escape the hands of those few people.
Master Lin has completely stopped, Lin Hao was forced to stop, and Feng Qian was suppressed so badly that even if she wanted to spread rumors, she would not be able to do so on such a large scale.
The only one left is Cheng Yuanhang, who has the motivation and ability to create such a scene.
Although the enemies have never met, they are still extremely jealous of each other.
Su Shien took the information to find Uncle Zhong, hoping he could give her some advice.
In the past ten years, Uncle Zhong has been searching the two nearby provinces to find the whereabouts of Tiezhu and Xu Jiaxi, so he definitely knows more than them.
When Uncle Zhong heard Cheng Yuanhang's name, he immediately sneered. This kid won't be able to jump around for long.
During the years when Tiezhu was not found, Uncle Zhong often worked with Zhou Yi and had some knowledge of their deployment.
Cheng Yuanhang was blacklisted three years ago. He was able to get to where he is today only because of the support of his in-laws, and his in-laws were the ones the emperor wanted to eliminate.
Regarding the importance of taking sides, since this kid has enjoyed the family dividends, when the family is about to collapse, he will definitely not be able to escape.
Su Shien hesitated for a moment and asked about the Cheng family's past.
Uncle Zhong actually knew something. Cheng Yuanhang's family moved to the provincial capital and settled there a few years ago. Before that, they lived in the state capital next door.
The Cheng family does not have deep roots and its assets are not rich enough. It cannot be compared with the old families and is considered a rising star here.
Uncle Zhong was puzzled: "Why do you always ask about the Cheng family?"
Su Shien said sincerely: "To be honest, my grandmother is very likely from the direct branch of the Cheng family."
Uncle Zhong was stunned for a moment and asked Su Shien to write a letter to Zhou Yi. He had all the information about what happened back then.
Zhou Yi's father was responsible for investigating these matters back then. Later, when he passed away, the clue was passed to Zhou Yi.
Su Shien sighed. She had come back happily to attend the wedding, but ended up bringing up so many old memories.
Han Zeyu raised his hand sincerely and asked, "Uncle Zhong, since Cheng Yuanhang has been abandoned, can I beat him up to vent my anger?"
Uncle Zhong had lived for most of his life and had never heard such a fresh and natural request. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up, thinking that Brother Yu was very talented.
Han Zeyu's eyes lit up. It is said that rumors stop at the wise. Being a man of great wisdom, he chose to take a shortcut and directly defeat the source of the rumors.
Hypocrites use their hands, not their mouths. Why waste your breath on him when you can solve the problem with your hands?
People of action never drag their feet. Han Zeyu sneaked into Cheng's house that night. He wanted to see how tough Cheng Yuanhang was.
Cheng Yuanhang held a whip in his hand and whipped the maid unscrupulously.
The two thin little girls, with very similar faces, hugged each other and shivered, begging the third young master to show mercy and spare them.
The rumors outside were all spread by Cheng Yuanhang.
That girl Lin Xue is so ungrateful. Isn't she willing to marry a poor scholar named Han?
Then let them get what they want. Before the marriage, let them suffer from rumors, and after the marriage, let someone break the poor scholar's legs. He wants to make Lin Xue's marriage the biggest joke.
The original plan was flawless, but Lin Jing sent someone to interfere.
Cheng Yuanhang was very angry that the rumors were out of control.
It happened that at this time the younger twin sister broke a tea bowl, and she became the punching bag.
There were traces of blood on the clothes of the two maids, and their bodies must have been torn apart under the clothes.
But Cheng Yuanhang turned a blind eye and continued to wave the whip tirelessly.
Han Zeyu used his supernatural power to pressure the three people and made them faint.
Han Zeyu showed up and kicked Cheng Yuanhang. This guy looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside. He thought he was good at martial arts!
