Although Cheng Fang looked down on the two men's background, they were quite devoted to serving him.
Thinking of this, Cheng Fang stepped forward to plead for his two concubines.
However, Madam Cheng was sitting above him, and one look from her was enough to frighten Cheng Fang into silence.
She was helped to her feet by her maid and looked down at the two disheveled concubines on the ground.
I felt no sympathy whatsoever; on the contrary, I felt utter disgust.
"Ha, you two sisters are quite the smooth talkers."
She had sent an old woman to guard outside the house, yet this wretched woman still managed to sneak out. And she even barged in right during the wedding ceremony.
Who would believe it wasn't planned in advance?
Her mouthful of lies might fool men, but such tricks are utterly childish.
However, Madam Cheng had no intention of explaining so much. She coldly and ruthlessly ordered, "Take the two children away and never let them see each other again."
"Yes." The two maids holding the child immediately withdrew.
Cheng Zhizhi and Cheng Taotao chased after them like madmen, but were held down on the ground by the servants of the Cheng family and unable to move.
A mournful wail filled the courtyard, and Cheng Zhizhi regretted her actions during the day.
But it's too late to regret it now; everything is already too late.
Old Madam Cheng left heartlessly, and Cheng Fang was taken away with her.
Zhizhi and Cheng Taotao were confined to their quarters and not allowed to step out of the house.
As spring arrives in the blink of an eye, everything comes back to life, and everyone gets busy.
Although He Tiantian's shop wasn't busy, she was about to start planting her chicken farm and Hong Erniang's cotton.
In addition, Zhao Wanzi successfully passed the academy's assessment and entered the academy to study.
He Tiantian indeed arranged for her to live in the academy and go home once a month.
Living in the academy is quite convenient; the accommodations are all newly built and the conditions are pretty good. Most importantly, Hongxiu Academy has a canteen with decent food.
Those rich young ladies couldn't stand hardship anyway, so the food in the cafeteria was pretty good.
Hong Erniang was the first to return to Changfeng Village, where Zhao Tingzhang helped her hire a group of people to do the work.
This cotton-growing work is meticulous, but because no one had any experience before, so many people were taught by Hong Erniang in batches.
Once they have taught some people, they can then continue teaching others.
At this time, He Tiantian had not yet returned to the village, so naturally she did not know the progress of Hong Erniang's side.
However, she was responsible for buying the chicks, and this arduous task was assigned to her.
During this time, He Tiantian went to the market to look at the chicks. Those fluffy yellow chicks cost five coins each, which was quite expensive.
After waiting a few more days and comparing prices repeatedly, He Tiantian decided to buy from her own Modern Mall.
She found a quiet, secluded alley and opened the Modern Mall app on her own.
After comparing them, she finally decided to buy the yellow-feathered chick and return it.
These chickens are easier to raise because they are larger, and each one weighs about half a pound. After raising them for a while, they can be sold.
However, the price is a little higher, seven coins each.
He Tiantian bought a thousand birds at once, in more than twenty cages of various sizes.
Suddenly, the once quiet alley was filled with the clucking of chickens. This made He Tiantian feel rather awkward standing there alone.
However, this place was the place she had arranged with Zhao Dahai and Zhao Xiangbei, and they would come to pick her up in a horse-drawn carriage later.
He Tiantian stood there and waited for a while. But in that short time, she ran into two acquaintances.
It was Young Master Sun and Miss Li.
Both of them were dressed mysteriously, with half of their faces covered.
However, because He Tiantian already knew them, she could recognize them accurately just by looking at their eyes.
Li Qianqian seemed pleasantly surprised and exclaimed softly, "It's Aunt He!"
He Tiantian was also quite surprised, "Miss Li, Mr. Sun, what are you doing here?"
It's been almost half a month since they last separated. In her spare time, He Tiantian has been thinking about what's going on with the other two.
But I never expected to meet again so soon.
Li Qianqian then briefly explained the whole story. It turned out that Master Li wasn't actually sick, but rather poisoned.
Moreover, it's a slow-acting poison, completely unknown to anyone here.
Fortunately, Young Master Sun managed to get in touch with the miracle doctor and successfully saved Master Li.
However, because the poisoning lasted for so long, Mr. Li will need to rest for a while after waking up. Long-distance travel is not advisable for him.
If Li Qianqian and Young Master Sun don't return soon, it might arouse suspicion from both families.
So the two agreed to come back and find out what was going on.
