Chapter 146 II 11. Bastard Status
The madam was trembling with anger: "You stinking brat, really hateful! Someone slap her on the mouth."

Several servants rushed forward, grabbed Tian Erya's hands and feet, and tried to slap her.

Tian Erya struggled desperately: "Master Zheng, if I was beaten by your family and I went out of your house, I would lose face to you and her. Your family will be stabbed in the back when you go out in the future."

"Stop, let her go." Zheng Zongde scolded his servants.

Tian Er's family was free, heaved a sigh of relief, and saluted: "Master, Zheng Yuansheng is your own son, please give me some money, let me go to Ninggu Pagoda to meet him. I can borrow the money, and in the future, I will It must be returned."

Zheng Zongde sighed: "It's not a question of money, you can say as much as you want. However, I am afraid that if I give you money in any name, others will think that you are Zheng Yuansheng's daughter-in-law. Outsiders will say that my Zheng family knows that my son is Prisoner, dragging an innocent you into the pit, people criticize, my Zheng family is a real person, there is something wrong."

"Master, I was wearing a wedding dress to send off Zheng Yuansheng on the official road in the provincial capital. Others already regarded me as his wife."

"How much silver do you want?"

Tian Erya probed: "500 taels?"

"I gave it to you, can you promise to bring back the fourth child?"

Madame frowned, Zheng Zongde might not have noticed, he called Zheng Yuansheng the "fourth" again, and he still cared about the relationship between father and son in his heart, so he might be soft-hearted, she must have other plans.

Tian Erya saw that the master did not object, and was overjoyed: "I will definitely do my best, and I will spend most of the money on Zheng Yuansheng, trying to bring him back safely."

"it is good……"

"Master!" Madam interrupted him with her brows upside down, "It's absolutely impossible. Zheng Yuansheng has now been made a prisoner by the imperial court, and he has gone to the deep mountains and old forests. It is impossible for him to come back."

Tian Erya argued with reason: "Grandpa, if we don't try to save Zheng Yuansheng, the chances of him coming back may be even less. If you pay some money, take care of your son."

Zheng Zongde turned his head and said: "Ma'am, the fourth child is my own son after all. If someone is going to find him in the solidification tower, I have to help."

Madam said seriously: "Master, you have to think about the whole family."

Zheng Zongde frowned: "We didn't come forward in person. It's not an exaggeration to give Tian Erya 500 taels of silver to find the fourth child."

"Master, don't forget, we have already agreed to remove Zheng Yuansheng from my name. Even if it is to divide the family wealth, as a bastard of the Zheng family, Zheng Yuansheng's status is equal to that of a slave. How can you give him so much money? "

Tian Erya confronted each other: "Ma'am, is this adding insult to injury? No matter how bad Zheng Yuansheng is, he has been raised under your name for more than ten years. Now you see him in a state of desperation, and you actually reduced him from the master of the Zheng family to a slave! You Even if there is no mother-child relationship with him, there should be a relationship between people, could it be that you are hard-hearted, you only recognize money but not people?"

Madam was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood: "You dare to act presumptuously in front of me after being so ambitious? I am the head matriarch of the Zheng family, and you have no place to speak here."

"I am Zheng Yuansheng's wife, and I have the right to speak on his behalf. You are unfair and inhumane, and no one will accept it."

"You are Zheng Yuansheng's wife. You have no matchmaker and no employment. The Zheng family does not recognize you. Zheng Yuansheng was convicted by the court. According to the rules of the Zheng family, I have removed him."

Tian Erya did not show any weakness: "You remove him, he is also the son of the Zheng family. It is unreasonable for the Zheng family not to distribute any property to him."

Madam's face was grim: "The Zheng family's distribution of property to him is equivalent to giving it to you for nothing. Our family will never give you a penny."

Tian Erya turned to Zheng Zongde: "Master, if you don't give me the money now, I may only have to wait three years before going. If Zheng Yuansheng has something good or bad during this period, you will cut off his life. In the future, How do you face the ancestors of the Zheng family?"

"Don't make excuses with your rhetoric..."

Zheng Zongde saw that their swords were on the verge of breaking out, and waved his hands: "Okay, madam. You don't have to be angry. Since you think giving 500 taels of silver is too much, why don't you give her 200 taels of silver?"

Madam shook her head: "No.

Master, if Tian Erya succeeds this time, who knows if she will come to the door again in the future and blackmail her in the name of Zheng Yuansheng, there will be endless troubles! "

Tian Erya was very helpless: "Madam, I will never pester you."

Madam glanced at her coldly: "It's better to explain everything clearly. If Zheng Yuansheng really comes back, they will take away the Zheng family's property again. If we don't give it to you, you will survive as weak people, and others will tell us Make irresponsible remarks. If Zheng Yunsheng doesn't come back, and you come to the Zheng family again as Zheng Yuansheng's widow, our Zheng family will still be in a passive position."

Zheng Zongde felt that what she said was reasonable: "Madam, what do you think should be done?"

"Master, it's about the property of the Zheng family. I think it's better to ask all the young masters to come out and discuss it, so as to avoid trouble in the future."

Zheng Zongde shook his head: "It's just 200 taels of silver, there's no need to ask them all to agree. I can make the decision."

"Master. Zheng Yuansheng is the only concubine in the family, and he is still a prisoner. He only has his second concubine left in this room, and there is an extra Tian Erya who sent himself to the house. I think it's better to use this time to discuss how to deal with them." about this room."

Seeing his wife's frosty face, Zheng Zongde knew that she was serious, and heaved a long sigh: "Okay! Tian Erya, after we finish handling the housework, I will get someone to reply to you. Go home and wait."

"Master, discuss it slowly. I'll wait outside."

"You can wait if you want." Zheng Zongde turned cold and sent someone to call his sons Zheng Yuanxin, Zheng Yuanli and others.

When the houses heard that they were going to give Zheng Yuansheng the money, their expressions changed.

Zheng Zongde looked at his son and daughter-in-law and said, "Actually, we don't need to divide the property, but I want to give some money to Tian Erya to find Yuansheng and come back."

Zheng Yuanli's daughter-in-law changed her expression, she opened her mouth to speak when she saw that everyone was silent, but she closed her mouth again seeing Yuan Fei's daughter-in-law looking anxiously at her.

Seeing that the second sister-in-law was silent, Zheng Yuanfei's wife pushed her husband.

Zheng Yuanfei coughed softly: "Father, what mother said is right. I'm afraid that if the money is given to Erya Tian, ​​she will come and ask for it again and again in the name of saving the fourth child. That is a bottomless pit."

Zheng Yuanfei's daughter-in-law added: "Father, the second aunt has been looking for you and us every day recently, asking us to use money to establish a relationship and rescue Yuan Sheng from Ninggu Pagoda. After we refused, she yelled at home every day, which made us I'm also ashamed, and I feel very uncomfortable."

Zheng Yuanli's daughter-in-law pushed Zheng Yuanli, and Zheng Yuanli blinked his small eyes and said, "Father, although Zheng Yuansheng was involved in the scientific examination fraud case this time, fortunately, the court did not implicate him and only punished him. If our family actively rescues , is it because some people think that our family is against the imperial court, and if we give us another copy, our family will be doomed. In the future, should the descendants of the Zheng family pass the imperial examination to enter Longmen?"
