Chapter 217 The Marquis and his wife invite you

The man surnamed Xu could not see the calculating smile on Cheng Lin's face. Seeing that Cheng Su and his party had already gone far away, he could not help but approach them to get some inside information. He hurriedly pulled Cheng Lin and rushed forward to chase after them.

"Come on, come on, since we are brothers, Brother Cheng, let's go up and say hello."

Cheng Lin was being dragged along, thoughts running through his mind one after another. He ran two steps, then realized that it was not going to work, so he stopped, held his friend and shook his head.

"Brother Xu, forget it."

"Why, aren't you a family, cousins?"

Cheng Lin lowered his eyelids and pretended to be self-deprecating. "So what if we are close relatives? With my sixth brother's temper... Forget it. My sixth brother and I have never gotten along well. As an elder brother, I cannot cause trouble for him. We have our own invitation letters, and the tickets to the inner hall are not expensive. We don't have to pay a few hundred coins. We can just have fun by ourselves."

Xu felt embarrassed, and when Cheng Lin said this, he could only nod in dismay. In his heart, he was cursing Cheng Lin for being an idiot, but he didn't know that the idiot Cheng Lin had actually already made a perfect plan in his mind.

Cheng Su and his family played for the whole day until they finished watching the big stage, ate the dinner specially provided by Lu Fang at Xinhai Pavilion, and watched the night tour. Then the group left in the carriage hired by Xinhai Pavilion.

Everyone said goodbye at the intersection one by one, and by the time Cheng Su and his group returned to the Zhenwei Marquis Mansion, it was already late.

Today, they have seen the world and the whole family is happy. The two children are jumping for joy. Even Xinghua and Xingye have become more loyal. They think it is worth following Master Su Liu, as he will think of them when there are good things. They secretly make up their minds to serve the Sixth House well in the future.

Everything seemed so beautiful, but when they stepped into the mansion and walked to their own courtyard, and saw Jin Yan who had been waiting there, all the laughter stopped abruptly.

Although Jin Yan was lucky enough to come to Yuhang and escape the disaster, she made a mistake due to the dispute with the old woman guarding the ancestral hall. She no longer had the face she had in the Lin family courtyard. She finally got the lady to assign her some work. In order to show her performance, she still waited at the door of the sixth room, enduring the bites of mosquitoes and refusing to leave even though it was already late.

Seeing that the person finally came back, Jin Yan, who had been sitting on a small stone bench in the corner of the yard waiting, hurried over to greet him.

"Oh, Sixth Master and Sixth Madam have been waiting for you for so long, you are finally back. Please hurry up, the Marquis's wife wants to see you, and she has been waiting for you to come over and answer her."

When Yu Meixue heard the voice, the gentle smile on her face froze. She subconsciously pulled Yang Ge'er and Yi Ge'er behind her and looked at her husband.

Cheng Su frowned, gave Yu Meixue a look that told her to be calm and not to be afraid, then turned around and gave Luan Shan a wink.

Luanshan is smart. His master is not short of money now. After working with his cousin, his master has earned a lot of salary in Xinhai Pavilion.

After receiving the master's instruction, Luanshan understood it immediately and stepped forward enthusiastically, "Miss Jinyan is really a rare guest. Come on, come on, you have been waiting for a long time, right? It's us who have delayed the master. Take this money and have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue."

As he spoke, he quickly took out a bunch of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Jin Yan's hand. Without waiting for Jin Yan's reaction, he hurriedly asked politely, "My dear girl, I wonder why the Marquis and his wife called my Sixth Master over at this hour?"

Jin Yan looked at the string of copper coins in her hand and couldn't help but snorted coldly. She threw the money in her hand into Luan Shan's arms and raised her eyebrows, "Who are you looking down on?"

A mere string of cash could block her bright future? Did she, Jin Yan, look like a fool? Staring fiercely at Luan Shan, who was stunned by the blow, Jin Yan looked at Cheng Su, and her words seemed respectful, but in fact she was impatient and urged him, "Sixth Master, I am a servant, and I dare not disobey you in public, let alone accept bribes. Sixth Master, please don't make things difficult for me. You should hurry up and don't keep the Marquis' wife waiting for a long time."

Seeing Jin Yan's attitude, Cheng Su and Yu Meixue felt uneasy. Thinking about how they were punished and sent away with a broken leg, Yu Meixue became uneasy, fearing that her husband would be bullied again, and wanted to follow.

Cheng Su felt distressed when he saw his wife's expression, and hurriedly comforted her, "Meixue, it's getting late. Since your uncle and aunt haven't called you, you should not disturb the elders. The children are tired after playing all day. You take care of the children, I'll be back soon."

Seeing that Jin Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, was getting impatient, Cheng Su simply told her to walk away. Yu Meixue took two quick steps to catch up, but was stopped by Cheng Su's eyes.

There was no other way. In the end, Yu Meixue could only hold the child in each hand and watch her husband and Jin Yan's figure quickly disappear into the dark night.

The main courtyard of the Zhenwei Marquis's mansion was still brightly lit at this moment. Not only was Marquis Zhenwei's wife, Mrs. Lin, present, but Marquis Zhenwei was also in the main room where he seldom stayed. Unlike Mrs. Lin who was sitting next to Bingjian and fanning herself calmly, Marquis Zhenwei was pacing back and forth in the room, muttering to himself and looking out at the night from time to time.

"Asshole, it's already so late, why haven't you come back yet?"

Lin looked at her husband in this state and could not help but lower her head and secretly rolled her eyes, curling the corners of her lips. When Marquis Zhenwei saw her, she showed a virtuous and helpless look to comfort him.

"My Lord, as children grow up, they are bound to be more playful. I have asked the servants to notify them. Don't worry."

Marquis Zhenwei snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, sat down next to Lin, and slammed the table, "How can I not be anxious? Such a big matter concerns the revival of my mansion..."

"My Lord!" Lin moved closer to Marquis Zhenwei holding the round fan in her hand and waved it at him affectionately, still using a gentle tone to persuade him.

"My Lord, the situation is still uncertain. What if Sanlang is mistaken, or there is some other reason? Didn't you call Liulang here to ask if there is any inside story? You can't be impatient, especially when you see the child. You have to talk it over. After all, Liulang is the child of the second wife, not our first wife. It would be bad if you scold him too much..."

"Hmph, what first and second branches? Aren't they all descendants of the Cheng family? And if it weren't for me taking care of him, the sixth child wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life today. And Yang Ge'er and the strangers he brought from who knows where, if it weren't for me, would they be able to study peacefully? You are really a bunch of idiots who hold grudges but never remember kindness!"

Marquis Zhenwei was muttering angrily, and suddenly thought of something. His eyes turned and he immediately stared at Lin with a suspicious tone.

"But Madam... you are acting very abnormally today. You didn't like Lao Liu that day and made such casual arrangements. Why are you speaking for him today?"

Lin's eyes flashed, and she covered her face with a fan to suppress the sarcasm in her eyes. When she raised her head again, she was that considerate and kind person again.

"My Lord, are you making fun of me? Don't you know what the Marquis's mansion looks like now?"

If he didn't know, why was he so impatient when he smelled a fishy smell that he had no idea whether it was real or fake?

"It's very difficult for me to manage this family. There are so many people in the family, and the house is so small. What do you want me to do in that situation? Besides, my brother's wife was still alive at that time. How can I, as an aunt, take over the responsibility?"

Could it be that you are talking about yourself?
Zhen Weihou's eyelids twitched. He felt inexplicably that his wife was making a veiled accusation, but he had no evidence.
