Chapter 462 Zheng Lan was plotted
"Yes, Tian'er has become my housekeeper, and now her work is easier. I asked her to go back and rest, but she said it was okay and that she would wait until her belly got bigger before resting."
"Alin is so lucky, he became a father so soon."
There is a hidden meaning in his words.
Zheng Ci glared at him and said, "Since you like being a father so much, why don't I give you eight or ten concubines so that you can have as much as you want."
Pei Ji hurriedly shook his head, "Madam, I dare not do that anymore."
The two of them were playing and laughing loudly.
Are you kidding? The only woman he loves in this life is Zheng Ci. If he wants to take a concubine, he can wait for the next life. No, he won't take a concubine in the next life either. He only wants Zheng Ci.
He wanted to accompany Zheng Ci from youth to old age, wait for the vicissitudes of life, talk about the interesting past when they were young, and reminisce about the passing years. This is the life that Pei Ji wanted, and the memories that belonged to him and Zheng Ci.
He rubbed Zheng Ci's smooth hair with his chin, feeling extremely satisfied with everything in front of him.
This is what he pursues, life.
One day, Zheng Lan came to the house. He sat in the living room in a daze until Zheng Ci came out. He didn't notice.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Zheng Lan looked up, her eyes bewildered, "Sister, I think I did something wrong..."
"What happened? Tell me slowly."
Wanxiang turned around and went out to pour tea, and soon a cup of hot tea was placed in front of Zheng Lan.
He picked it up and gulped down two mouthfuls. "I, I made your sister-in-law angry."
Zheng Ci breathed a sigh of relief. "You made your sister-in-law angry. Why don't you just apologize to her? Your sister-in-law is a gentle person and won't bother with you."
"But, but she won't forgive me."
"What on earth happened?"
"I went to a social event and woke up to find myself sleeping with a woman..."
With these words, Zheng Ci's heart sank.
"Do you remember what happened?"
"No, I don't remember. I drank quite a bit of alcohol at the time, and this is what happened when I woke up." Zheng Lan grabbed her hair, looking devastated.
"Besides that? Do you remember any details?"
Zheng Ci was a little angry. Qiao Yu was a sensitive and thoughtful person, and she didn't know how heartbroken she must be. She worked hard for the family all day long, and her brother actually did something like this outside. She felt sorry for her sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart.
"I don't remember, but I definitely didn't touch that woman!"
Zheng Ci believed this. If this person was drunk and could still do those things, then he must be sober and not completely guilty.
Making mistakes while drunk is just a fig leaf.
"It's good that you didn't touch me. But I still want to talk to you about this. If this gets back to my sister-in-law, how upset will she be? She's already heartbroken. She gave birth to Zheng Tanghao, but she's been childless, unable to give birth to a son to inherit her legacy. Now, she's definitely going to think too much."
Zheng Lan wanted to cry but had no tears. "I, I don't care about this matter at all. I don't mean it that way. I just want to live a good life with your sister-in-law. Sister, you have to help me with this."
Zheng Ci shook her head helplessly, "I'm afraid you've been tricked. Do you know the identity of that woman?"
Mentioning this incident, Zheng Lan became even more desperate.
It would be fine if he was a slave or a lowly person, but he happened to be a good person.
"She was a daughter of a good family. When I woke up, she was crying and shouting, saying that I had done something bad to her and wanted to follow me."
"Okay, I think I know. Go back and comfort your sister-in-law first. I'll have someone investigate."
Zheng Lan kept looking back, pleading, "Why don't you come back with me? Your sister-in-law doesn't want to see me the most right now, so go and plead for me. She can beat me or scold me if she wants, but I'm afraid she'll get hurt by being upset."
Seeing that he still had a conscience, Zheng Ci nodded, "Okay, I'll go back with you to see my sister-in-law."
Returned to the Zheng family's yard.
Dad was still in the Hanlin Academy, and Mom seemed unaware of this matter. She even welcomed Zheng Ci in with a smile.
"Why did you come back so suddenly without telling anyone in advance? Let's eat here at noon today. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some of your favorite dishes." Qiao Xianglan was busy making arrangements.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. But where's my sister-in-law?"
Qiao Xianglan thought for a moment, "I didn't see your sister-in-law today. She might be in the yard. What do you want to see your sister-in-law about?"
She was about to speak when she saw Zheng Lan winking at her, and the words on her lips became...
"I just came back to see my sister-in-law and niece."
"Well, I just saw you the other day. I know you have a good relationship with your sister-in-law. Go quickly. I'll have the maid call you for lunch."
"Yes, mother."
After Qiao Xianglan left.
"For your sake, I have to lie to my mother."
"Little sister, if you tell Mom, I don't know how I'll deal with me." Zheng Lan said aggrievedly, "I'm being wronged."
Zheng Ci was annoyed. "Since you were afraid of being wrongly accused and knew you couldn't hold your liquor well, why did you still drink so much? And what about Qingzi? He's your servant, and he didn't even watch you?"
"I can't hold my liquor well, but three or four is no problem. But I didn't know I was so drunk yesterday. Qingzi went to get my cloak, and when he came back, he couldn't find me..."
After hearing what he said, Zheng Ci became even more certain that someone was plotting against him.
Her brother is still stupid.
"Okay, okay, let's go see my sister-in-law first."
"good."
When he reached the door, the yard was quiet. Zheng Lan knocked on the door, but no one came to open it after a few knocks.
Zheng Lan pouted, "Look, your sister-in-law just ignores me."
"If it were me, I wouldn't pay any attention to you either." Then he knocked on the door himself, "Sister-in-law, it's me, I'm here to see you."
There was a noise inside the door, and after a while the door finally opened. It was Qiao Yu's personal maid. She stuck her head out and saw Zheng Ci, then greeted her with a smile.
Zheng Lan wanted to follow him in, but the door that was wide open just now suddenly slammed shut.
Almost hit my nose.
He was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Sister-in-law, I came to see you." After entering the door, Zheng Ci walked inside and soon saw Qiao Yu.
Her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried. When she saw Zheng Ci looking at her, she turned her head away uncomfortably.
"Come sit down and talk. Go serve tea to Xiaoci and bring her some of her favorite milk pastries."
The two sat down to talk, and Zheng Ci smiled, "Sister-in-law is thoughtful. She even remembered that I like milk pastries."
"I remember, I remember. How could I not remember?" Qiao Yu said.
"Since my sister-in-law knows my preferences so well, why doesn't she understand the temperament of the person next to her?"
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was talking about Zheng Lan.
She pursed her lips and remained silent.
Zheng Ci spoke slowly, "Brother came to me today and told me everything. My sister-in-law was wronged, but brother also said that he was really unaware of this matter. After listening to him, I guessed that brother was plotted against."
