Chapter 445 Zheng Ci raises his sword
It turned out that apart from ordinary clothes, he only had some bracelets and other things on him, nothing special.
"We checked everything on the wet nurse, and there's nothing strange."
"Just some bracelets, incense sticks and other things."
The old ghost immediately said, "Bring the incense sticks here for me to see."
Wanxiang turned around and went into the house, quickly bringing out the incense sticks. The old ghost took a quick sniff and frowned, saying, "Could it be that I guessed wrong? It wasn't caused by the things they carried with them."
Now they fell into complete silence.
This is really weird.
At this time, several wet nurses came out. The last one was holding a bracelet in her hand. The bracelet had a unique shape. It had a carved outer layer and a hollowed-out area, inlaid with some gemstones of average quality.
Although it looks good, it is not expensive.
"Wait." The old ghost walked forward and snatched the bracelet from the wet nurse's hand.
"This, this is a bracelet given to me by my husband. You can't take it away."
The wet nurse suddenly became anxious.
"Don't worry, my master is just taking a look. If everything is fine, he will return it to you."
With Zheng Ci's words, the wet nurse felt much more at ease, but she still looked at the bracelet with burning eyes.
"My husband is a good-for-nothing. He has relied on me as a wet nurse to support the family for many years. I don't know what happened a few days ago, but he bought me a bracelet. This is one of the few times he has been nice to me in all these years. Madam, please return the bracelet to me." The wet nurse said cautiously.
Zheng Ci smiled and was about to say something when he heard the old ghost say.
"I found it, this is it. I stuffed it with something very cold. Wearing it for a long time will make your body damp and cold. If you wear it for any longer, I'm afraid it will affect your lifespan."
When the nurse heard this, her eyes turned red and she collapsed to the ground, "What? Impossible! How could he hurt me?"
Seeing her like this, Zheng Ci felt a little sorry for her, and with a look she asked Wanxiang to help her up.
"Nurse, do you know where your husband has been these days and who he has met?"
After a pause, the nurse came back to her senses and said, "I know that besides drinking, he loves gambling. Most of the people he meets are gamblers from the gambling house. I told him not to associate with those people, but he just wouldn't listen."
As he spoke, he began to cry.
"I see. Looks like I still need to check on her husband."
———
"Jiaojiao, do you think they can find us?" He was very worried and paced back and forth in the room.
Zheng Jiaojiao was eating fruit and said nonchalantly, "They can't find anything, don't worry. They have no idea there are bracelets like this in the world. Even if they did find it, they would only check the food. I guarantee they won't find anything."
She smiled, with a careless evil in her eyes.
"Alas, my heart is always in turmoil and I always feel uneasy." He sat down and patted her chest.
"Mom, don't be so alarmed. If you have the time, you'd better think about how to get Dad out of Second Aunt's place. He's been resting there for half a month. What a mess. If this continues, you, the wife, will suppress a lowly concubine."
Zheng Jiaojiao shook her feet in annoyance.
When she kills Zheng Ci's son, Zheng Ci will definitely be devastated. He might die of anger or even go crazy.
She was completely finished now, and there was no way she could get herself into trouble.
Humph, why should Zheng Ci always get all the good things? She wants to suppress me forever, dream on!
Since her future has been blocked, Zheng Ci has to pay the price.
She took a big bite of the fruit, a smile on her face.
In the evening, Zheng Lang was flirting with his second aunt in her yard.
The Second Aunt lay on his chest, her fingers brushing his skin intentionally or unintentionally, and she smiled coquettishly, "Second Master has been resting here for a few days. Madam will definitely be unhappy."
Zheng Lang sneered, "If she's unhappy, it's none of my business."
Second Aunt raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Second Master really doesn't care about Madam anymore?"
Zheng Lang lifted her chin with his finger, "Why, do you expect me, the Second Master, to care?"
The second concubine bit his fingertips, and after a slight pain, she felt a soft and smooth touch. Zheng Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, and gradually became aroused.
"Good girl, you're trying to seduce me on purpose."
The Second Aunt curled her lips into a smile, and her sparkling red lips in the candlelight made her look like a fairy sucking people's essence.
She was originally a girl from a good family and had been beautiful since childhood. She could have been married to an ordinary wealthy family, become a wife, and live a stable and ordinary life.
But she was spotted by Zheng Lang when she went out on the street. Zheng Lang was the second son of the Duke's Mansion, and the second concubine's father was just a poor scholar.
When Zheng Lang asked for marriage, her family dared not refuse.
It must be a small sedan chair, carried in through the small door, which means the Second Concubine will be sad for the rest of her life.
There was hatred in her eyes and she kissed Zheng Lang fiercely. As the two of them were entangled, there was a violent knock on the door.
"Bang, bang, bang."
“Bang, bang.”
Having his good fortune interrupted, Zheng Lang suppressed his anger and angrily said, "That bastard, knocking on the door so late at night, is there someone dead?"
"Second Master, please come out. If you don't come out, someone will really die!"
——
"Grandma, grandma, please save me and my mother. Zheng Ci is going to bring people to kill us." Zheng Jiaojiao knelt at the feet of Old Lady Zheng. Her delicate makeup was all ruined, and the hairpin on her head was tilted from side to side.
Old Mrs. Zheng was helped to sit up from the bed, and she was also shocked to see Zheng Jiaojiao's appearance.
"You, what's wrong with you?"
Zheng Jiaojiao cried and said, "It was late at night. I was resting in the yard. I don't know why Zheng Ci rushed into the yard with his men, shouting and threatening to kill me. If it weren't for my maid who risked her life to protect me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see my grandmother now.
Grandma, you have to make the decision for me. Does Zheng Ci still have the Zheng family in his eyes? Do you elders like Grandma actually want to kill people? "
Old Mrs. Zheng frowned and looked at her.
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You're right, I'm going to kill you today." Zheng Ci rushed over with her men, and she personally pulled out the sword that was hanging on Alin's body.
The sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed.
Zheng Jiaojiao was so scared that she almost peed her pants.
"Xiaoci, what is going on?"
Zheng Ci glanced at Zheng Jiaojiao coldly, "Are you going to say it, or should I say it?"
Zheng Jiaojiao just hugged Old Lady Zheng's legs and cried, "Grandma, I didn't do anything. I don't know how I offended her, but she's yelling at me to kill me. She doesn't even care about the Zheng family."
It turns out she was raised outside and can't be tamed. She's not on the same page with us at all."
Old Mrs. Zheng felt a headache from her crying and rubbed her eyebrows.
She is old and sleeps restlessly.
For this reason, he even slept in a separate room from the old Duke.
This disturbed me. Now I have a splitting headache and feel like my head is going to explode.
