Chapter 219: Eighteen Kinds of Forces
This was the first time that Zhenwei Hou, who had always been so high and mighty, spoke so earnestly that Cheng Su was a little dazed. He stammered and wanted to say something, but then he thought of his niece. Cheng Su suppressed the jealousy that had just risen in his heart and shook his head firmly at Zhenwei Hou.
"Uncle, why can't your nephew understand what you said? I don't have such great ability, uncle."
Zhenwei Hou choked and then became furious, "You bastard! You can't tell good from bad and you're playing dumb with your elders, right? You've grown up with your family providing you with everything from porridge to food, clothes to food. Now that you've grown wings, you don't even look down on my uncle. You're full of lies, right? Do you know that as long as parents are alive, the family should not be divided, and descendants should not have private property? I rule the country of Dajing with filial piety. Do you know the consequences of your disobedience and unfilial behavior?"
Cheng Su's eyes flashed with deep disappointment. The more disappointed he was, the more determined he was to shake his head. "My nephew is not unfilial. I dare not disobey you. Please calm down, uncle."
"Okay, okay, very good. You don't want to admit it. You won't even talk about such a small matter. Very good. I'll have to see if you can still be so stubborn when your grandmother and your parents come and talk to you in person!"
Zhenweihou angrily threw his sleeves and left. Seeing this, a smile flashed across Lin's eyes. She looked at Cheng Su pretending to be embarrassed and sighed quietly. She then acted like a good person, said a few meaningless words and sent Cheng Su away.
On the way back to the room, Cheng Su kept thinking about what happened today. He didn't know what that bad guy, the third brother, had said to Marquis Zhenwei, making it seem as if Xinhai Pavilion was his property. It was both laughable and chilling.
Cheng Su didn't know that Cheng Lin was insidious and vicious. After discovering the heresy in broad daylight, all the novelties and fun things in Xinhai Pavilion failed to attract him. Instead, he was stimulated by the prosperous business in the pavilion and became more and more excited. He secretly offered a large sum of money to inquire about the news in Xinhai Pavilion, but in the end he got nothing.
But the more this happened, the more Cheng Lin suspected there was something fishy going on. He felt as if his heart was hanging by a huge hook. He quickly ended his trip and hurried home. He then made some inquiries in the mansion and learned that Lao Liu had become more generous recently and was no longer as stingy as before. Cheng Lin became more certain of his guess.
I have to say, sometimes this bad dog's nose is really sharp. Even if it's not right, it's not far off. Isn't Cheng Su related to Xinhai Pavilion?
Cheng Lin took his stepmother, who was greedy for money, and his biological father, who loved him, to report this, hoping to reap the benefits. However, Cheng Su was stubborn and refused to admit it even if he was beaten to death. This made Cheng Lin secretly disappointed. After receiving the news that Jin Yu had parted on bad terms, he added fuel to the fire and even made suggestions.
Cheng Su knew nothing of all this. He was very careful and cautious in his family's affairs the next morning. When he hurriedly took Luanshan out to look for Li Yaoguang, this fellow started to move, jumping up and down all over the mansion, and he immediately hit it off with the unyielding Marquis Zhenwei.
Otherwise how can they be called father and son, they are of the same "good" quality!
While moving out the old feudal lord, they called in the second wife and her husband to exaggerate the matter with this pair of ungrateful people, and at the same time sent people to the eastern side courtyard to arrest people. The family seemed more united than ever before, just to achieve their goals and share the benefits.
As soon as Cheng Su came back, he was called to the ancestral hall by the servants. The old feudal lord who had not been in charge for a long time sat at the top, and below him were Zhenwei Hou and Lin. His biological father, the second master, whom he had not seen since arriving in Yuhang, and Fu were all gathered together. At this moment, his wife and children were kneeling in front of rows of tablets in the ancestral hall, without even a cushion under their knees.
Cheng Su was anxious and rushed in to pull people away, "Meixue..."
Unexpectedly, before the man arrived, the second master who was standing behind suddenly rushed out from the side and kicked Cheng Su.
"How dare you come here, my rebellious son? Kneel down!"
Yu Meixue, who was kneeling with Yang Ge'er in her arms, heard the noise and turned around, just in time to see her father-in-law kicking her husband hard.
Yu Meixue was shocked. Her husband's leg had finally healed and couldn't be injured again. Instinctively, Yu Meixue let go of her son and pounced on him, "Don't!" "Meixue, be careful!"
"mother!"
Hearing his son's terrified cry beside him, Cheng Su didn't have time to think. He subconsciously lunged forward and successfully protected his wife from the kick from his scumbag father, blocking it with his back.
Cheng Su groaned in pain, Yu Meixue was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes. Yang Ge'er, who had been punished with his mother until now without crying, was so anxious that tears burst into tears when he saw his parents being treated like this. He expressed concern and looked at the indifferent people present, especially the culprit named Grandpa. Yang Ge'er's eyes were full of hatred.
Yu Meixue hurriedly got up and looked her husband up and down with concern, "Sulang, how are you?"
Cheng Su suppressed the pain in his body, tried to smile and shook his head towards his wife and children, "It's okay, don't worry." Then he looked at Yang Ge'er beside him and waved gently, "Yang'er, come here, don't cry."
Yang'er ran to his parents whimpering. Cheng Su embraced his wife and child and slowly stood up. There was cruelty in his eyes. He stood in front of the mother and child with his thin body, looking at the so-called relatives in the room and speaking with cold words.
"Grandmother, uncle, aunt, father, mother, what's the point of making such a big scene? If you have anything to say, just come to me. Why make things difficult for the women and children?"
Seeing that Cheng Su was still so unruly, Zhenwei Hou slammed the table in anger, and the old Lord above him couldn't help but frown.
The second master's scalp tingled when he saw this. He jumped forward and scolded his rebellious son, and even wanted to hit him.
He was used to it, and it would be better if he didn't have such a father. If he couldn't resist, could he hide? To protect his wife and children, he had to avoid it. At this time, the old Fengjun above spoke.
"Stop it, second brother. After all, he is your own son. If your father is a bad boy, it's no wonder that your son is so mean."
When the old lady stepped in, the second master immediately shrank back to his original position. Fu, who was standing beside him, sneered at him sarcastically. The second master wanted to do something, but considering that this was the ancestral hall, he gave Fu a warning look.
Fu was not afraid and just rolled her eyes in response.
The second master was indignant. At this moment, the old Lord Feng spoke again, this time to Cheng Su.
"Sixth son, what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten all about propriety, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety? I won't bother with you for your rebellion today, but there is one thing you need to know. Only when the Marquis' Mansion is well can you be well, and only when there is the Cheng family can there be you, Cheng Su! All of you present here are your direct relatives and elders. All of you in front of you are the ancestors of our Cheng family. Today, in front of so many ancestors, you should tell me the truth. What is the relationship between you and Xinhai Pavilion?"
"Ha!", it turns out it was all because of this. It's really like a leech seeing blood, and a hawk won't be released until it sees the rabbit!
Cheng Su sneered in his heart and opened his mouth to retort, but he didn't expect that the old Lord above him seemed to know what he was going to say and gave a stern warning.
"Liu Lang, think everything through before you speak. Although I am old, I am not blind. I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. You should not show off your little tricks in front of an old woman like me. If you speak nicely, your family will not treat you badly. But if you are stubborn and only want to go out, don't blame me for being heartless."
