The Wei family was also ostentatious. They just took in a concubine, but they advertised it everywhere, telling everyone what kind of relationship this concubine had with their family, making her lose face.
"Don't be angry, aunt. After all... as a concubine, she is the one who suffers. What does it have to do with us?" Xiao Cunyu comforted her.
"You're right." Xiong sighed.
She just wants to raise a girl!
I thought I was bringing back a delicious steamed bun, but who knew I would step on shit.
Xiao Cunyu was relatively honest in front of her aunt. After all, being the mistress of the house affected her quality of life, so how could she act rashly?
After waiting for a while, Xiao Cunyu set off.
Before he could even warm up the chair at home, he arrived at Cheng's house, handed in his visiting card, and was invited in soon.
The head of the Cheng family is old. Censor Cheng is well-known for his upright and stubborn character who even dares to confront the emperor. Except for the eldest son, all the other sons of Censor Cheng are officials in other places. Although his descendants do not hold high official positions, they are said to be honest and upright people.
The two families became relatives because they valued each other's family traditions.
The eldest brother's fiancée is the eldest granddaughter of Censor Cheng and the only daughter of the first wife, whose maiden name is Cheng Hongsui. The sick young man Cheng is the only son of the first wife. He is not very old and seems to be only about ten years old now.
Cheng Hongsui's mother has passed away, and the Cheng family has no mistress to take charge. As the eldest granddaughter, Cheng Hongsui can only take responsibility.
Fortunately, Censor Cheng has also taken leave and is at home, so Cheng Hongsui, an unmarried girl, doesn't have to go out to entertain guests.
When Xiao Cunyu saw the old man, he felt a little weak.
Censor Cheng is not young anymore, in his sixties, but he is still strong, but his face is a little tired. It seems that the illness of the young master of the Cheng family is not too mild.
Otherwise, an official as dedicated as Censor Cheng would not stay at home to look after the matter.
"I'm sorry to trouble your elders for their concern. I also know that Jingyun is going to Jiangding City for important matters. He came to see me before leaving. Even if you didn't come specially, I wouldn't blame him for being impolite... Moreover, your aunt sent a lot of things here earlier. I didn't expect that it would take only two or three days for you to make another trip. I will remember the kindness of the Xiao family..." Censor Cheng looked like a man who was easy to talk to at this time.
"Grandpa Cheng, don't be polite. Just treat me as a relative who shamelessly comes to visit." Xiao Cunyu spoke casually.
Mr. Cheng was stunned when he heard this.
Generally speaking, people who communicate with him know his temperament.
In front of him, any younger generation would behave properly, but it was rare to see a boy who spoke so casually.
Before Xiao Jingyun set off, he chatted with him and mentioned Xiao Qillang in the conversation.
Xiao Jingyun said a lot of naughty things to Xiao Qi, but his eyes could not hide his love for her.
He also specifically told his granddaughter that when she married into the Xiao family in the future, she must not look down on Xiao Cunyu just because there were no elders in the fifth branch of the Xiao family...
I thought what Xiao Jingyun said at that time were just polite words, but now it seems... they are not wrong.
Just by looking at his behavior, you can tell that he is a restless kid.
The old man didn't say much.
He personally led Xiao Cunyu to Cheng Xiaolang's yard.
"My grandson has not been eating or sleeping well recently. His sister takes care of him every day. She should be in the yard now." Old Master Cheng said again.
"Is it this yard?" Xiao Cunyu asked.
"That's right." Mr. Cheng answered simply.
Xiao Cunyu looked carefully.
As soon as he entered the door, he discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the feng shui of the Cheng family's house, which had actually created an unlucky situation.
It was not very obvious as a whole, but it became clearer as it got closer to Cheng Xiaolang's yard.
