Chapter 20

The hall was silent for a moment, and Mrs. Xiao could not breathe as if her chest was blocked.

She has always been strong and decisive, and once she makes up her mind, she never looks back. But this time, she couldn’t scold or punish her children for their resistance.She could only keep saying to herself, “You are right, Sisi is honest and honest. If you don’t protect her, she will only be bullied. She should suppress this evil obstacle and not let Sisi be wronged” – although she also knows in her heart that this is not good.

Cheng Song, who had never said anything, suddenly stood up, startling everyone.

Cheng Song didn’t smile at all at this time. He just took a few strides over, grabbed Fu Mu’s hair, and dragged her to the door. Then, with strong arms, she threw her heavily outside the porch. Only a scream was heard, and Fu Mu was silent.

Cheng Shu exclaimed and fainted on Calamus.Calamus also shivered.It’s not like shes haven’t done this before in the Ge family. The ladies of the Ge family have always been gentle and gentle, so the shes they raised are accustomed to it.Now, she finally understands that the Cheng family is not the Ge family, and they cannot help but be self-righteous and want to be strong.

Mrs. Xiao originally wanted to scold her second son, but when Cheng Song turned around, she saw him with tears in his eyes and a look of grief and anger on his face, but she couldn’t curse him.Cheng Song came back, knelt down next to Cheng Yong, and said loudly: “My mother wants to punish my brother, so let me punish him too!” Then Cheng Shaogong came over and knelt down silently, bowing his head and saying nothing, obviously the meaning was the same.

Mrs. Xiao didn’t know that these were three sons expressing strong dissatisfaction to her. She felt a breath stuck in her throat and couldn’t swallow. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Mrs. Sang suddenly shouted “Ouch” and everyone hurriedly looked at her.

Mr. Sang covered his abdomen with one hand and grabbed Mrs. Xiao’s wrist with the other. He said in pain: “Sissi, I seem to have abdominal pain again. Do you still have the pills from last time? Come and get two pills with me quickly! Quick, quick!”

Mrs. Xiao was a little confused, and was about to ask Qingyuan to get it. Unexpectedly, Sang’s hands were very strong, and he dragged her up, shouting: “It hurts me to death, come with me to get the pills!” Then he pulled Mrs. Xiao into the inner hall.

Mrs. Sang and Mrs. Xiao left like a gust of wind, leaving everyone stunned and at a loss.

As soon as she arrived in the inner hall, Mrs. Sang immediately stopped feeling abdominal pain. She sternly pushed away the maids beside her, and then threw Madam Xiao onto the hut where she usually rested. She glared and said, “My wife is so powerful today, she scared me!”

Mrs. Xiao was so angry with her children that she was dizzy, but now she realized that Mrs. Sang was pretending to have abdominal pain to give everyone a step down and avoid the trouble getting out of hand.

Mrs. Xiao was lying on her side on the bed, rubbing her chest, and said harshly: “Am I majestic? Look at that evil obstacle, forcing me to say, she is majestic!”

“You deserve it! You made one wrong move and everything was lost!” Mrs. Sang walked around the hall twice, then stopped and said, “You made the wrong move. You obviously wronged Niao Niao, but you refused to say a good word. Since ancient times, fathers are unkind and sons are unfilial. You can’t stand the truth yourself and betray your mother’s authority. You deserve to be forced to this point!”

Mrs. Xiao said bitterly: “What will happen to these careless evildoers if they are given up for a moment! One sentence after another, can’t I see the tricks of the old woman and the little maid? I just turned around and secretly expressed my regrets. Sisi’s face…”

“Stop being so coy, it makes me sick!”

Mrs. Sang took off the personal brocade bag from her waist and threw it to Mrs. Xiao. She said politely, “…People all have biases, which is not surprising. But your bias is too much! I can’t stand it when you are clearly wrong and you are making such unreasonable remarks. You didn’t give birth to Shao Shang! Even if he was born by a concubine, you shouldn’t treat her like this.”!The words you just said were more cruel than the others. You even mentioned such a big crime as “disobedience”. It really drove Niao Niao to death.I see you confessing to your uncle-in-law like this!”

Mrs. Xiao took two Qingxin Pills from the brocade bag and put them in her mouth. A cool and spicy feeling rushed straight to her forehead. Then she became more awake. She shook her head and laughed at herself: “I was so angry that I would do such a thing today.”

She has been favored by Grand Duke Xiao since she was a child, and received the same education as her brothers. She knows everything about strategy, terrain, government and the family, but her understanding of the subtleties of people in the inner house is not as good as that of the Sang family.In fact, except for a few short months at her ex-husband’s house, she was the one and only presence in the inner house, and she didn’t need to pay attention to the little thoughts of several slaves.

She had to admit that this time, she was too stubborn. She made a mistake and lost.

Sang saw her expression gradually change, and said with a smile: “What, you didn’t expect it. You are so brave. You want to rely on the authority of your elders to convince her, but she is not afraid at all.”

Mrs. Xiao rolled her eyes at her and was about to get up, but was stopped by Sang: “What are you doing out there? Do you want to scold Niao Niao again? You are in the wrong for what happened today. If you scold her again, it will only make the three nephews feel more pity for Niao Niao. HeIf we don’t dare to resent you, we will definitely resent Sisi.If you really want Sisi’s good, don’t go out to add firewood.Moreover, have you ever thought about what your uncle-in-law will do if he finds out what happened today?”

Mrs. Xiao sat back on the bed, pondered for a moment, and said simply: “I will tell the general myself. I will not hide what I did wrong.” She never sloppily does this kind of thing.”Then let’s forget about today’s matter…?” It must be brought to an end.

Sang was also very straightforward: “Don’t go out, I’ll go. Just tell those little enemies that you were so angry at them, and ask the children to come and blame you later. Just be vague and the matter will be over.”

Mrs. Xiao had a strong personality and really didn’t like this kind of conciliatory approach, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

“The family affairs are not political disputes in the court. There is no such clear distinction between black and white. So what if you win the fight? The children are unconvinced and will only separate their flesh and blood.” Sang advised her, “You are a sensible person. I won’t talk nonsense. If what happened today happened in someone else’s house and you came to watch, what would you think? ? Even everyone would think that Shao Shang is your niece and Sisi is your biological child!”

“Nonsense!”

“Yes, yes, I know my wife is the most just.” Sang smiled, got up and went out, leaving behind a meaningful sentence – “But there are some people in this world who, in order to show their fairness and selflessness, sometimes treat others well and treat their own flesh and blood harshly. Do you think it’s ridiculous or not?”

Mrs. Xiao’s heart suddenly shook.

…

In the Jiuzhu Hall, after everyone had been waiting for a while, Mrs. Qingyuan walked over and gently pinched Cheng Shu, and asked Chang Pu to step back.

Shaoshang looked at his brothers, and they looked at her. They knew each other’s third aunt’s intention.

At this time, Cheng Shuo faintly woke up and turned around, then climbed up to Shao Shang on both hands and feet, grabbed her sleeves, and cried bitterly: “Niao Niao, don’t hate me. I didn’t mean to do it. I didn’t expect that you have been so wronged. It’s all my fault, and several brothers. I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” sheHe was not very articulate, he only bowed his head and apologized when he came back, and he was choking while crying. The three brothers of the Cheng family couldn’t bear to see him.

“Cousin, I really didn’t blame you.” Shao Shang stopped her from apologizing, “It’s just that things in this world are never fair…” She helped Cheng Shu smooth the messy skirt of her clothes, “Cousin, you are motherless in every way, but I clearly have a mother but no mother.”

Cheng Yong scolded in a low voice: “Niao Niao, don’t talk nonsense.” The young merchant spread his hands and said, “Then I won’t say anything.”

Cheng Shaogong was secretive: “Although my cousin left the Cheng family when she was young, her aunt treated her like a jewel, and after returning to the Cheng family, her mother became her heart. But what about Shao Shang…” He did not continue, but everyone understood.

Mrs. Qingyuan also felt sad for Shao Shang.

This world is really unfair. It was obvious that they were twins, a dragon and a phoenix, born with great blessings, but then fate took a turn when she was three years old.The love that should be obtained cannot be obtained, the glory that should be enjoyed cannot be enjoyed, and she grew up in front of two women who could not be more stupid or narrow-minded. However, the daughter of the woman who has obviously done many evil things can live in the sun, be loved by thousands of people, raised carefully, and grow up happily – how can this make people feel at ease?!

Cheng Shaogong felt hurt in his heart and said in a low voice: “Shao Shang, it would have been better if I had stayed as well. I will stay with you.”

Shaoshang rolled his eyes and said, “Now there are two illiterate people. Where did the eldest brother give us two desks?!”

Everyone was originally full of sadness, but they couldn’t help but feel happy.

Cheng Song patted his chest and said, “There’s still me. I’ll give you my bookcase too!” Cheng Shaogong said as usual: “Forget it. Brother C, you haven’t studied at all in the past few days since you’ve been home. I don’t know where your bookcase is bundled. I’m afraid it hasn’t been unloaded from the luggage cart!” Cheng Song laughed and cursed before going to hit his brother.Everyone laughed, finally dispelling the clouds of sadness for the time being.

Cheng Yong laughed and said, “Niao Niao, if you want anything from now on, just tell your brothers and they will get it for you.” He secretly made up his mind that in the future, even if he had to be punished by his mother, he would make his younger sister happy.

Shao Shang was overjoyed. This was what she had been waiting for. He quickly grabbed Cheng Yong’s clothes and stammered: “I, I, I want to go outside to see the East Market and West Market, Dehuifang and Liuxinfang. I don’t know where they are. I, I want to know what it’s like outside, but my mother won’t let me go out.”

Seeing the hopeful look in his younger sister’s eyes, Iron Man softened his heart. Before Cheng Yong could speak, Cheng Song had already promised: “Don’t worry, even if my mother scolds you again, I will take you to see the world!”

Cheng Shu was chattering nearby, not daring to say anything, but Shao Shang turned around and said, “My cousin will go with us then!” Cheng Shu was happy in her heart, and Cheng Shaogong also cheered: “That’s right, my cousin will go too, so I won’t be afraid of my mother’s punishment!” Everyone laughed together again.

Mrs. Qingyuan shook her head and secretly sighed, “It’s great to be young.”

Everyone was laughing, especially Shao Shang, but no one knew what she was thinking.

——After spending half a day, is she just asking for justice or mercy?Compassion that cannot be translated into practical results is of no use.What’s more, she has never been willing to suffer in vain since she was a child.

For all this pretentiousness, her target was never Mrs. Xiao.

Impress Mrs. Xiao?Make her feel compassionate?Trying to make Mrs. Xiao feel guilty and regretful, and then doting on her?She has never thought about it. Don’t try to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. No matter how hard you try, it will be useless if your heart is biased.

She wants to act freely, go out openly and openly, and know the different styles of people in this world, farmers, industry and commerce, and how to be independent in the future. She no longer wants to be trapped in a small world and sit in a city of sorrow!

Thanks to the stupid old woman and the maid, otherwise she wouldn’t know how to take a step forward.
