Chapter 378 True Gold Rebirth 5
Chapter 378 True Gold Rebirth 5
Mother Cheng rolled her eyes at Cheng Baoer and put away the stick in her hand.
She pointed at Cheng Tiantian, who had fallen to the ground and was crying, and said, "Just stay home for the time being. Don't go out unless necessary."
I hate that iron cannot become steel!
She is obviously beautiful, but she did something that ruined her reputation. The men in the village hung around Widow Liu's door for a few days, and Widow Liu was forced to jump into the river because of the rumors. This girl actually caused trouble for herself.
What's wrong with that Zhang family kid? If she doesn't want to get married, does that mean she wants to marry a rich man in the city?
Those families all care about being well-matched. If you want to marry into their family, you will be carried away in a sedan chair and become a concubine!
The Zhang family was upset about this incident, and there was no shortage of gossip in the village.
The same is true.
There are many people who want to marry Cheng Tiantian. Many of them talked to Aunt Mei and wanted her to test the waters, but they were all dismissed by Aunt Mei with a few words.
Also, when Zhang's mother gossiped with the women in the village, she often spoke in sarcastic terms about the Cheng family. Within a few days, the news that the eldest daughter of the Cheng family had been having an affair with a man spread.
Many people who were jealous of Cheng Tiantian followed suit and added fuel to the fire. Many families with good family traditions were discouraged when they saw this.
Only some reckless people and those who were simply attracted by her beauty did not give up.
They were not as disciplined as the Zhang family in doing things. Many of them would meet by chance, climb over the wall in the middle of the night, or simply make up stories about how they and Cheng Tiantian were in love under the moonlight. Cheng's father and mother drove away a group of them with sticks, but another group would sneak up the next night.
Later, Cheng's father simply took turns with Cheng's eldest brother to guard the yard at night. After a few days, the Cheng family felt exhausted.
Cheng Tiantian was also terrified.
She didn't know why things had come to this point. Her reputation was ruined and worse than in her previous life.
She was the one who told everyone about what happened with Tie Niu in her previous life. The people in the village were just making things up at best, but it wasn't that serious.
Even without Mother Cheng's warning, she didn't dare to leave the house. No one knew if some hooligans would suddenly rush out and hug her. If Big Brother Cheng hadn't seen and stopped her last time, she would have...
Cheng's mother put her hands on her hips and went to the doors of those families to curse, but she was concerned about Cheng Tiantian's reputation and did not dare to curse too obviously. However, those families did not care about their reputation at all.
They just want to find a cheap and beautiful wife, no matter how reputable she is, who can't be used to make a living.
At the same time, in the Marquis' Mansion in Yanjing.
Wei Nanxi's face was pale and he stood at the entrance of the yard with his body cold.
The servant in the yard, who was beaten to a bloody pulp, was laughing crazily.
"Madam Hou, hahaha, you are such a high and mighty lady, yet you have been kept in the dark by a servant like me for more than ten years, raising a child for a village woman."
"I heard it's very close to the Northern Frontier. I wonder if Madam Hou's own children are still alive, or if they were killed in the war and trampled into the mud by the horses' hooves!"
The beautiful woman sitting on the armchair had a face as cold as frost. She spoke word for word, icy and stern: "I saved your life in the beginning, but I never thought you would harm my child because of a grudge! Blame me for not judging people well and saving an ungrateful person. I will beat you to death today. Don't worry, after you die, your son will soon be with you!"
The servant's crazy laughter paused, and then he threw himself at the beautiful woman's feet: "Madam! You can't do this. My son has always been diligent and obedient when working for the prince. You can't treat him like this!"
"If you can harm my child, then you should be prepared to pay with your son's life! Come, go to the Shiziyuan and drag Changqing over here. Beat Changqing to death in front of her first!"
The servant lost his pride in an instant, knelt down and begged for mercy, banging his forehead against the ground with a loud thud, and soon blood came out.
The beautiful woman looked at Wei Nanxi outside the yard and sighed.
"Xier, come here."
Wei Nanxi stumbled over and threw herself into the beautiful woman's arms, crying inconsolably.
"Mother, she's lying, isn't she? How could I not be your child? She's lying, it must be lying!"
The beautiful woman gently stroked her black hair and said, "Whether it's true or not, we have to go and see it."
If it is true, then the flesh and blood of the Marquis's family must be brought back.
Wei Nanxi was pampered by everyone in the Marquis' Mansion and raised like a treasure. She had never had any worries. Her only worry was that Jing Yiqun had said something that deserved a beating again, and she would leave him alone for a few days before forgiving him.
Suddenly she learned that she was not the daughter of the Marquis's family at all, but a fake who had taken over the mansion. This news was like a bolt from the blue, making her tremble with fear and helplessness.
While waiting for the carriage from the Marquis' Mansion to depart, Wei Nanxi fell ill in panic. She fell drowsy on the bed, and unfamiliar images flooded into her mind.
The secret letter written by Ji Yanli had already reached the hands of the prince.
The atmosphere in the palace became tense.
……
Because of Cheng Tiantian, everyone in the Cheng family is exhausted both physically and mentally. Cheng Shu's original marriage was also called off because of Cheng Tiantian's incident. After all, there are always people sneaking into the Cheng family at night, and Cheng Baoer's reputation has been affected. Who would be willing to marry their daughter into such a family?
At the dinner table, everyone sat in silence, without any appetite.
After a while, Cheng Shu said, "I plan to join the army."
"no!"
Cheng's mother reacted strongly, "I don't agree! You are not allowed to go."
"Mom, it's not as dangerous as you think. I've made up my mind and have already signed up with Liu Qiang."
"Snapped!"
Mother Cheng put down her chopsticks heavily, her eyes red. "You are trying to force me to death! On the battlefield, swords and knives are merciless, and countless soldiers have been killed and wounded. I don't care about the interests of my country. Your father and I only have you as our son. If you die, how will we live?"
Cheng Shu pursed his lips and said nothing, but his expression was determined, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.
Father Cheng sighed heavily, and Cheng Baoer rolled her eyes and ate quietly, not daring to speak.
Cheng Tiantian, on the other hand, thought of how Cheng Shu had also joined the army in his previous life and had made a name for himself. Although she wasn't the Cheng family's biological daughter, she had grown up with Cheng Shu and their relationship was closer than that of the fake. Cheng Shu's success would only benefit her, and he might even be able to help her and be her support in the future.
She began to persuade him, "Mother, if my brother wants to go, let him go. He might be able to make a career for himself. It's better than digging for food in the fields all his life."
After saying that, she winked at Cheng Shu, trying to curry favor with him.
Unexpectedly, he was slapped hard in the face.
"Don't you know why Shu'er wants to join the army? If I had known you were such a troublemaker, I shouldn't have bothered with you. You can marry any bastard you want, and I don't care if you die!"
Cheng Shu's marriage is ruined. She has heard a lot of sarcastic voices, and Cheng Shu will hear even more. His marriage has been affected. If he doesn't work hard to fight for a good future, not only Cheng Tiantian, but even Cheng Baoer will not be able to marry into a good family in the future!
"Didn't you say you liked that hunter? Well, since we don't know whether he's dead or alive, I'll make the decision. You'll shave your head and become a nun, staying with him for the rest of your life. If he comes back and wants to marry you, you'll marry him. If he doesn't come back, you'll stay a nun for the rest of your life, so you don't harm others!"
