Chapter 136: Wen Shu Fainted
"Madam, the eldest lady is here with Miss Song and Miss Jiang."
In the room, two girls who were talking and laughing and snuggling beside Old Madam Cheng looked at each other and returned to their seats.
"Let them in."
"grandmother."
“Meet Madam Cheng.
"Meet Madam Cheng."
Song Yu, Jiang Shiyun and Cheng Qingmeng bowed slightly in greeting.
Old Madam Cheng originally wanted to temper Cheng Qingmeng's temper, but Jiang Shiyun actually followed her and quickly excused them from the formalities.
"Meng'er, why did you suddenly come back today?"
"Grandmother, my cousin Yu wants to hear me play the guqin. My Boya guqin is in my guqin room, so I'll take my cousin and my younger cousin back home to stay for a few days."
The girl in blue looked flustered when she heard this.
Madam Cheng looked at Song Yu and said with a smile, "Miss Song wants to learn to play the qin, but are you thinking of taking the Imperial Examination for the Noble Ladies of Chaofeng Palace Academy?"
Song Yu said, "Now that I'm in the capital, I really need to learn more skills. As for the Chaofeng Palace Academy entrance exam, if I've made some progress, I can consider taking it."
Madam Cheng raised her lips in a sneer. "The zither is not easy to learn. You have to learn from a young age to become a good zither player. It might be a little late to learn now."
Song Yu said, "It's okay. It's better to learn than not to learn."
Madam Cheng sneered. Her face was burned, yet she still dreamed of taking the entrance exam for Chaofeng Palace Academy. "Yes, it's better to learn than not to learn. Just treat the Cheng Mansion as the Jiang Mansion. If you need anything, just tell Meng'er."
"Good old lady."
"Meng'er, take your cousin to listen to the piano."
Cheng Qingmeng glanced at her two cousins and left with Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun without introducing them.
"Sister, what should I do?"
The person who spoke was Cheng Qingtang, the second daughter of the second house, and her face looked a little panicked.
Cheng Qingya, the eldest daughter of the second house, frowned and said to Old Madam Cheng, "Grandma, we borrowed my eldest sister's guqin the other day, and it accidentally fell to the ground and a corner of it was knocked off..."
"What?" Madam Cheng's face darkened. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? That was a gift that Elder Jiang gave to Qingmeng for her tenth birthday. Its value can't be measured in money!"
The two were so frightened that they quickly knelt down. "Grandma, we bumped into it accidentally. It was really not intentional. We wanted to find a craftsman to fix it, but we didn't expect the eldest sister to come back so soon."
Old Madam Cheng had a headache: "She's not here, how did you borrow it?"
The two of them felt guilty and lowered their heads, not daring to lie.
Old Madam Cheng was so angry that she poked the two men on the forehead. "Taking something without asking is stealing! You two idiots! Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down! When your eldest sister forgives you, you will get up."
The two sisters breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the ancestral hall to kneel.
"It's really worrying. It would be fine if Cheng Qingmeng came back alone, but the Jiang family girl also followed. If she goes back and says nonsense in front of Old Jiang, how will Old Jiang regard our Cheng family? Meng Guangde is an outsider after all, but these two girls are the blood of the Cheng family!"
Nanny Niu quickly tried to appease her: "The eldest lady has always liked the old lady's jade headpiece. The eldest lady and the others just left, so you can call her back to discuss this matter..."
Madam Cheng felt pain in her flesh and struggled for a moment, "Then hurry up and catch up!"
Cheng Qingmeng and the other two were all thinking of the secret room. On the way back, they were secretly observing the layout of the Cheng Mansion. Nanny Niu and her men soon caught up with them.
"Miss, the old lady remembered an urgent matter and wants you to go see her alone."
"Cousin, we'll go with you." Jiang Shiyun was worried that Old Madam Cheng would make things difficult for Cheng Qingmeng.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. You guys wait here for me."
A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Qingmeng happily came back with the jade headpiece she had longed for.
"Cousin, why are you so happy?"
Cheng Qingmeng opened the brocade box: "This is my grandmother's treasure, from now on it belongs to me..."
Cheng Qingmeng took the two of them to the piano room, where the broken Boya guqin was placed horizontally on the piano table.
Cheng Qingmeng took out an identical and intact Boya guqin from the secret compartment.
Jiang Shiyun was surprised, "How could there be two?"
Cheng Qingmeng smiled and said, "The broken one is a fake, this one is the real one."
"What made you want to make a fake?"
Cheng Qingmeng's face darkened. "Didn't my guqin string break during the last exam? I later found out it was Cheng Qingtang's doing, but there was someone behind her who we haven't found yet. The next day I had someone make a fake. I was right! They would definitely sneak in while I was away. After all, Cheng Qingtang has coveted Boya's guqin for a long time. This jade headpiece was an apology gift from my grandmother. The two sisters are kneeling in the ancestral hall. They won't get it unless I tell them to."
Jiang Shiyun asked, "Have you arranged someone to keep an eye on it?"
"Of course!" Cheng Qingmeng lowered her eyes, hiding the hatred in them. "If I don't let them suffer a little, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
She was trapped in a dark room and was often whipped by the two sisters!
Kneeling as punishment is just the beginning.
In the previous life, my grandmother put pressure on my mother, and she had to let them go.
They will never have an easy life in this life!
Song Yu frowned as he looked at Cheng Qingmeng, and intuitively felt that his cousin Meng had also been reborn.
If Cousin Ruo Meng were reborn, it wouldn't be so difficult for them to catch the mistress, right?
Well, I won’t guess anymore. She didn’t tell anyone about her rebirth.
A moment later, melodious piano music rang out in Cheng Mansion.
"Little brother, don't move, it will be fine soon."
Wen Nuo stood on a stool and combed Wen Shu's hair and put a small white jade hair crown on his head.
At this time, Wen Shu was no longer dressed in rags and had dirty braids.
My hair is dry, yellow and tangled, making it very difficult to manage. There are also some white hairs, and if I apply a little force, a lot of hair will fall out.
Wen Nuo took an hour to style his hair.
He didn't know why he was so nice to a stolen servant.
She even combed his hair herself, and he never dared to imagine that he would serve others.
Hey, it’s because the little brother is only close to him and afraid of others.
After tying his hair up, Wen Shu looked more energetic, but his face looked sallow and extremely thin.
The nice clothes he wore were completely inflated on him, and he was as thin as a stick of firewood. A single gust of wind could blow him down.
"Little brother, look at me, don't you look much more energetic and better?"
Wen Shu looked at himself in the floor-standing bronze mirror, feeling a mixture of emotions.
No one had ever treated him like this since he was a child.
He was afraid that this was just a dream he had.
When he woke up from the dream, he returned to the dusty and smelly woodshed, still wearing tattered clothes.
Wen Shu looked at Wen Nuo, his eyes slightly red, and suddenly bent most of his body towards her.
Seeing that Wen Shu was about to kneel down on his knees, Wen Nuo hugged him.
"If you want to thank me, just open your mouth and speak up soon. I want to hear you speak to me in person, okay?"
Wen Shu nodded when he heard this, and fainted the next second.
"Ah! Little brother, come quickly and call Uncle Bai."
Bai Luoheng rushed over and was surprised to see Wen Shu tidied up neatly. He then quickly took his pulse.
"Uncle Bai, why did little brother suddenly faint?"
