Chapter 156 The Arrogant Miss Cheng



Bobo has been sighing lately. He went to Jiangnan with his parents, hoping to relax, but his parents ended up having a great time on their own.

What about him?

He also has to complete the tasks assigned by his father every day. Although he loves learning, he always feels that his father and mother are going a bit too far.

The key point is that his younger sister is always with him.

He also dotes on his younger sister, Beibei, but his father, who was so attached to her back then, is now letting her go and being raised by him.

Bobo thought that perhaps her father had given birth to a younger sister on a whim.

The more I think about it, the less I understand his father and mother.

Bobo took her younger sister to dinner, and after sitting down, she looked at Yinzhen and Yunrong with a somewhat resentful gaze.

Yunrong is quite sensitive to emotions, and she felt a little uneasy being stared at by her son.

He asked, "What's wrong? *kiss*"

Bobo said aggrievedly, "Mother, you haven't spent any time with your son and sister."

Yunrong thought about it and realized that she had indeed been too busy with her studies and had neglected her son and daughter. Yinzhen was also busy and probably couldn't take care of them either.

Of course, Yunrong couldn't honestly admit it, and only said, "Aren't Father and Mother busy with important matters these days? Perfect timing, we're going to Thousand Buddha Mountain tomorrow."

Bobo was overjoyed: "Really?"

Yunrong: "Would your mother lie to you?"

Beibei was overjoyed when she heard that she was going out to play.

Yinzhen had originally planned for the couple to go on a trip, but it seems that the plan is now unlikely.

Originally, Yinzhen had planned to take Yunrong to Thousand Buddha Mountain, but it turned out that the whole family went together, which was fine.

To get to Thousand Buddha Mountain from where Yinzhen was staying, he had to pass through a bustling market. Because he had set off early, there were only a few pedestrians on the street. Just as the carriage was about to cross the street, it suddenly stopped.

Seeing the carriage stopped in front of him, Liang Jiugong sent someone to ask what was going on. Before long, Liang Jiugong learned that the carriage in front had broken down.

Liang Jiugong thought to himself, since the carriage is broken, surely someone could leave it aside! Blocking the road like this is not right.

"Send someone to help carry the carriage away."

Without asking the Emperor, Liang Jiugong said directly, "This is indeed a small matter that does not need to trouble Your Majesty."

A short while later, the person who had gone there returned.

"Steward Liang, the person in the carriage ahead said that her carriage is broken and she will only get off when the manor's carriage arrives."

Liang Jiugong's trip today was rather unsuccessful. He couldn't just stay here, so he decided to go and take a look himself.

Liang Jiugong walked to the carriage in front with a smile and said to the servant next to the carriage, "My master needs to leave the city. Could you please make way for our carriage to pass first?"

The servant looked very arrogant and said in a disdainful tone, "Just tell your master to wait. Our carriage will be here soon. Our young lady is of noble birth, not someone ordinary people would see. Besides, the streets are dirty and messy now. Wouldn't it be bad if she got out and got her shoes dirty? Do you know how much a pair of her shoes costs..."

Liang Jiugong's smile faded as he thought to himself, "Nothing in the world is more valuable than the Emperor's shoes. I've served the Emperor his shoes many times, so why am I being looked down upon?"

"Can't you really do me a favor?"

The result, naturally, was rejection.

After Liang Jiugong returned, he planned to use force, but before he could give the order, Yinzhen, who was sitting in the carriage, spoke up.

"What happened?"

Liang Jiugong explained, "Your Majesty, the carriage ahead broke down and is blocking the road. I asked them if they could move aside, but the carriage owner's servant said that his young lady's feet are precious and cannot touch the ground."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen laughed in anger. He had never encountered such a situation before; it was as if he had been looked down upon.

Yinzhen also wanted to know which family's young lady this was, that she was so "precious".

"Given her behavior, she must have some reputation in this area. Let's find out which family's young lady she is?"

"yes"

Just as Yinzhen had predicted, this "precious" young lady had a well-known and resounding reputation, but it wasn't a good one.

Not long after, Liang Jiugong returned with the information.

“Master, I have learned that the person blocking the road ahead is the second young lady of the Cheng family, the largest merchant family in Jinan. I have also learned that this second young lady of the Cheng family is very domineering. She has been married once, but her husband was injured by her, so she divorced him. Now she lives in the Cheng family and her favorite thing is... her favorite thing is handsome scholars. I have heard that two scholars have already been ruined and killed because of her behavior.”

"The Cheng family?"

Yinzhen had no impression of the Cheng family, but judging from her behavior, he knew that the Cheng family was usually domineering and probably had someone backing them up. Otherwise, a merchant would not be ignored by the government.

Yinzhen didn't want to get involved personally, but he also wanted to investigate Jinan. He had seen the county magistrate's behavior and figured he was just a lazy bum. Now that such a "precious" woman had appeared in Jinan, he figured the county magistrate had "made a great contribution."

Even if the county magistrate had his "reasons," as the local official, he couldn't let the matter go unresolved.

"Invite the county magistrate here and let him handle it."

Yinzhen is no longer in a hurry to go to Thousand Buddha Mountain, since Thousand Buddha Mountain is not going anywhere.

When Liang Jiugong heard his master say that he was going to invite the county magistrate over, he knew that he would most likely not be able to go to Thousand Buddha Mountain today.

After listening to the whole story, Yunrong saw that Yinzhen was really angry, so she comforted him, "This kind of thing has happened since ancient times. Now that you've seen the problem, just solve it. It's not worth getting angry."
