After thinking about it, she figured he probably knew. Marquis Changxing did have some connections, and Tang Fengxing's quirks couldn't have been kept from him. However, she was quite surprised that Xu Yan hadn't gone to the streets to curse. But then she thought about it again. Even though they felt sorry for Chuanwu, they couldn't stop him from going to the manufacturing camp, since it was the emperor who had personally sent him.
Wang suddenly remembered that the Marquis of Changxing and his wife wouldn't let Chuanyi go to Tang Fengxing's place, and she instantly felt grateful to the old couple. She thought that the old couple were biased towards Chuanwu, but it turned out that they also cared about their own children.
And Chuanwu, he didn't want Chuanyi to go either. He had good intentions and didn't want Chuanyi to suffer the same inhuman torment as him. What a good kid!
Seeing that Wang Shi understood, Chuan Hai sighed, lamenting that Tang Fengxing had finally met her match, and that Chuan Wu was probably the first person she couldn't trick.
Meanwhile, at the Zhang residence, Zhang Chengjue was fretting over the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
What reasonable reason could he give to send him to the Marquis of Changxing's residence without arousing suspicion?
Or should we say it's to congratulate Marquis Changxing on his 58th birthday? But there are still six months until Marquis Changxing's birthday. Who would send a congratulatory gift six months in advance?
Or was it to celebrate the Marquis of Changxing finding his long-lost son? But his son has been found for almost half a year now, so sending a congratulatory gift at this time only makes people suspect that he has ulterior motives!
Or... should I just cover myself up at night and throw it through the wall? But I quickly dismissed the idea, because Chuanwen would definitely know it was him who threw it, which would only make her more suspicious!
well!
Zhang Cheng sighed, feeling that he had made a mistake in buying the Ganoderma lucidum, and now he was in a dilemma.
Just then, his wife came in, cursing and swearing. It turned out that his wife's brother was a gambler. Last night, he gambled with Tang Fengxing and not only lost all of the family property, but also his wife and children.
Her family begged her to pay some money so they could redeem her family members. Of course, her brother is currently being whipped by her father from the roof beam.
After scolding her own brother, Madam Zhang went on to scold Tang Fengxing.
What a despicable gambler! He's so heartless that he doesn't even spare other people's wives and children!
What a disgrace to the title of a master! She's nothing but an immoral and despicable woman! She not only harmed her disciples, but she also betrayed her own family!
Zhang Chengjue frowned. He remembered that Chuanwu's brother had been sent to the manufacturing camp by the emperor and had become Tang Fengxing's apprentice. So he asked his wife, Tang Fengxing, how he had harmed her apprentice.
Madam Zhang then recounted everything she had heard outside about how Tang Fengxing had harmed Chuanwu, cursing Tang Fengxing for being heartless as she spoke.
However, Zhang Chengjue's lips gradually curled up as he listened. Here came this unreasonable reason that would not arouse suspicion!
Chuanwu must have suffered a lot, and may even have been injured. It's perfectly reasonable for him to give him a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to help him recover!
Besides, Chuanwu might become the Marquis of Dingguo in the future. Even if he tries to curry favor with Chuanwu now, he'll only be seen as investing in a potential stock. Although he might be called mercenary if word gets out, it's still better than Chuanwen wanting his life!
Having made up his mind, Zhang Chengjue didn't dare to delay for a moment. He packed the Ganoderma lucidum into a brocade box and headed to the Marquis of Changxing's residence.
When Zhang Chengjue arrived at the Marquis of Changxing's residence, it was already night and the lanterns were lit. He smiled and pushed the brocade box to the Marquis of Changxing, saying, "I heard that your son Chuanwu has been unwell recently. This is a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that I bought at great expense. It can help him to improve his health. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
Zhang Chengjue smiled very happily, finally able to get rid of this hot potato.
Marquis Changxing was a bit confused. Everyone outside knew about the martial arts.
Moreover, their family had little contact with Zhang Chengjue before, so why are they sending Lingzhi to Chuanwu to help him improve his health?
However, considering that everyone probably knows about the Emperor's promise to make Chuanwu the Marquis of Dingguo, is Zhang Chengjue trying to get closer to him in advance?
Thinking of this, Marquis Changxing felt both embarrassed and somewhat happy.
My grandson has become successful, and even he is being fawned over. Isn't that incredibly prestigious!
Happy, Zhang Chengjue stayed for a while before taking his leave.
Watching Zhang Chengjue's departing figure, Marquis Changxing was filled with satisfaction. He took the Ganoderma lucidum and went to find Chuanwu, intending to give this grandson who had brought him honor a good reward.
But when Chuanwu heard that his ordeal had spread far and wide, his face turned pale.
Marquis Changxing placed the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand and patted his shoulder to comfort him, "It's alright, a man must go through trials and tribulations. What you need to do now is to keep a calm mindset and learn Tang Fengxing's skills as soon as possible, so that you can get rid of her as soon as possible. You have to believe in yourself, you can do it!"
After encouraging Chuanwu, Marquis Changxing hurried back. He felt sorry for his grandson. If he stayed any longer, he would have to persuade his grandson that if things didn't work out, they should give up the title of Marquis of Dingguo. Living a full life is better than anything else!
Chuanwu watched his grandfather's departing figure, wanting to cry but unable to. He must be the most pitiful person in the world right now!
In Wang's courtyard, the maid Qiuye whispered a few words to Wang after returning from outside.
She had just run into a servant of the Marquis of Changxing outside, and after exchanging a few words, she learned that someone had come to deliver a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to Chuanwu.
Qiu Ye thought her mistress would be furious upon hearing this, but to her surprise, after a moment of stunned silence, her eyes were filled with tenderness.
? ? ?
Qiu Ye was puzzled. Didn't her wife hate that family the most? Especially after hearing that the family had some connection with officials in the court, she gritted her teeth even more.
And now, Qiuye even saw his wife wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief!
