The Bai family has a daughter who wants to turn over

Chapter 122 The Catastrophe of the Cheng Family ([-])

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng's mansion was full of joy. Cheng Ruoyun was in good health today, and Cheng Ruohan was in a good mood. The two brothers finished their meal in Mrs. Cheng's Shi'an Pavilion, and stayed here to accompany Mrs. Cheng. The lady speaks.

Originally everything was fine, Cheng Ruohan also brought some fireworks back, and just waited for the fireworks in the imperial city to be set off, and then lit them up, but when the fireworks started in the imperial city, everyone in the Cheng family went out to watch the fireworks. , the atmosphere is different.

The old lady Cheng is well-informed, and Cheng Ruoyun and Cheng Ruohan are also well-read poems and books. They both found out the difference between the flying dragon fireworks at a glance, and they were all shocked.

Although the old lady Cheng and Cheng Ruoyun were very concerned about the fireworks, they both avoided talking about it tacitly. After returning to Shi'an Pavilion, they kept talking about other things, but Cheng Ruohan's face was ashen and sweating profusely , the other words are completely inaudible.

"Ruohan, Ruohan?"

"Ah, ah?" Cheng Ruohan came back to his senses, and pressed his dry lips nervously: "Grandma, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Cheng frowned worriedly and asked, "What's wrong with you? You look absent-minded."

Cheng Ruoyun also noticed that something was wrong with Cheng Ruohan after watching the fireworks, and his complexion was even worse, as if some kind of illness had suddenly occurred.

Cheng Ruohan took a sip from the teacup in a disguised manner: "It's okay, maybe I've been a little tired recently."

"You, I don't know what you've been doing recently, you keep running outside." The old lady Cheng said to Cheng Ruoyun, "As a brother, do you take good care of your brother?"

Cheng Ruoyun knew that Cheng Ruohan had gotten very close to His Highness the Crown Prince recently, and also guessed that the business of the Shuyu House might be guided by Cheng Ruohan, but it was Cheng Ruohan's background, Cheng Ruoyun knew it well, and did not think that Cheng Ruohan would be of great importance to His Highness the Crown Prince. help.

But hearing old lady Cheng speak like this, Cheng Ruoyun still responded: "Grandma said so."

Cheng Ruohan listened to the conversation between the old lady Cheng and Cheng Ruoyun in a trance, and couldn't help but seize the gap between the pauses and asked: "Grandma, the fireworks that were set off in the imperial city just now—"

"Ahem." Before Cheng Ruohan finished speaking, the old lady Cheng interrupted him by clearing her throat, and glanced at the servants beside her.

Seeing this, Cheng Ruoyun ordered all the servants to withdraw.

Seeing that there were only three grandparents and grandchildren left in the room, Mrs. Cheng lowered her voice and said, "Ruohan, you must not talk about this matter in front of other people."

Cheng Ruohan nodded with a dry smile: "Grandson understands. The grandson just doesn't know that there is such a problem with the imperial fireworks, and I don't know what the result will be."

Cheng Ruoyun glanced at Cheng Ruohan indifferently.

Normal people feel very strange about Cheng Ruohan's words.He was curious, shouldn't there be such a problem with the fireworks that shouldn't be used by the queen?

"Hmm." The old lady Cheng pondered for a moment and then said: "Usually something goes wrong with the imperial items, it's nothing more than confiscating all the property owned by the merchants who exclusively supply them, and the person in charge will naturally deal with them according to the size of the problem, but today's fireworks ...It's no small matter, the people in the court who have python robes now are nothing more than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Jue, this matter..." At this point, Mrs. Cheng sighed: "It's because the matter of the imperial court is a big deal. Little, your grandfather only established the family rules back then, and the Cheng family will never touch this business."

Hearing this, Cheng Ruohan's face became more and more ugly, and there were signs of two wars.He stood up abruptly, rubbed his hands together nervously and said, "Grandma, I... grandson, I—"

"Ruohan." Cheng Ruoyun immediately stood up and interrupted Cheng Ruohan's words, and pretended to help him at the right time, but actually stopped him from kneeling: "Aren't you tired? Let's go back to rest today."

Cheng Ruohan originally wanted to tell everything and seek the old lady Cheng's help, but was interrupted by Cheng Ruohan, and turned his head to look at it with some dissatisfaction in his heart, but he didn't want to look back and see Cheng Ruoyun signaled him not to continue talking with his eyes. The hand holding him is also gradually exerting strength.

Cheng Ruoyun has concluded that the imperial fireworks that happened today are related to Cheng Ruohan, the old lady Cheng is getting old, and Cheng Ruoyun has never wanted her to be disturbed by some chaotic things.A few days ago, Cheng Ruohan and Bai Shuangshuang broke off their engagement. The old lady Cheng had been sad for a long time, and she finally regained her spirits recently. If she hears about this again, she will be exhausted.

The old lady Cheng didn't notice the undercurrent between the two brothers, but nodded in agreement: "Yes, Ruohan, I see that your expression is different, you should go back and rest first."

Cheng Ruohan wanted to say something else, but Cheng Ruoyun took the lead and said to the old lady Cheng: "Grandma, I'll just send Ruohan back, you can rest early."

"Hey, okay, go, you remember to drink medicine."

"Yes, grandma."

Cheng Ruoyun semi-forcibly brought Cheng Ruohan out of Shi'an Pavilion, and Cheng Ruohan could only bear it so far, and immediately shook Cheng Ruoyun's hand away as soon as he went out, and said with embarrassment: "You know?"

Cheng Ruoyun glanced at Cheng Ruohan indifferently, and said softly: "Go and talk in my study."

Although Cheng Ruohan said he was unwilling, but he also knew that Cheng Ruoyun had some tricks, maybe he could really help him, so he half pushed and half followed.

Cheng Ruoyun's study room is the same as his room, as soon as he opened the door, he could smell a long-lingering medicinal scent, Cheng Ruohan wiped his nose in disgust, found a chair and sat down.

"You should know all about it, so I won't beat around the bush. Tell me, what can you do?"

Cheng Ruoyun twitched his mouth mockingly, sat opposite Cheng Ruohan, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about? Is there something I should know?"

Cheng Ruohan frowned, and said: "I know about the Cheng family's news network, so you don't have to be so vague. You should also know that if this matter is not handled well, the Cheng family will also be in trouble."

Cheng Ruoyun picked up the teacup in front of him, glanced at Cheng Ruohan in front of him, and said, "It seems that you are really impolite. Your mother has raised you very well, so it should be taken for granted." Cheng Ruoyun snorted, not waiting Cheng Ruohan opened his mouth and continued to ask, "Where did you get the money for your business?"

He opened his mouth to ask how the capital of doing business was obtained, and Cheng Ruohan was sure that Cheng Ruoyun really knew.Impatiently, he turned his head aside and replied, "Don't worry about where I got my money from, just ask if there is anything you can do about it?"

Cheng Ruoyun frowned and said: "You have kept everything from me, how can I help you? You also know the seriousness of this matter, if you still don't want to confess, do you want the entire Cheng family to be buried with you?"

As soon as the word "buried with you" came out, Cheng Ruohan stood up immediately as if he had been frightened by something, and wanted to retaliate but didn't know how to speak. The five four-clawed flying dragons on the table, he hesitated for a moment, then sat back and said vaguely: "It is... Madam Bai gave me the money to invest in shares."
