Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

In the main hall, Cheng Xu'an and Ying Nanyao exchanged pleasantries.

"Master Ying, is there something you need?" Cheng Xu'an asked indifferently, glancing at Ying Chengting standing behind Ying Nanyao.

Ying Chengting bowed respectfully at this moment, his posture upright, showing no trace of the madness he had displayed at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Seeing that he was indeed displeased, Ying Nanyao adopted a very gentle attitude. "Lord Cheng, I am ashamed to say that I brought my son to your residence to apologize this time!"

Previously at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Cheng Ting was bewitched and lost his mind, which led to this disaster.

I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give the Cheng family an explanation.

As he spoke, he ordered Ying Chengting to step forward and hand over the box he was carrying.

Ying Nanyao said, "Lord Cheng, this is a small apology; I hope you will accept it."

Ying Chengting also said, "Uncle Cheng, I was wrong before. I felt ashamed after I came to my senses, but as a man, I dare to take responsibility for my actions. No matter what kind of scheme I was plotted against, I am not afraid."

I only hope that Uncle Cheng will not dislike me because of this, and I also hope that Miss Cheng can forgive my lapse in composure that day.

Cheng Xu'an stared at Ying Chengting for a moment, noticing that his waist was bent even lower, his posture more sincere and upright, and his expression slightly gentler, before taking the box from him.

He said, "My dear nephew is a good person, I know that. You can rest assured, I will comfort Zhi'er. She is a gentle and generous girl and won't care about such trivial matters."

Both Ying Nanyao and his son Ying Chengting breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the Cheng family would not hold that incident against them.

"Lord Ying, please have a seat," Cheng Xu'an said.

The atmosphere immediately lightened.

Cheng Yunjing smiled and said, "Lord Ying, speaking of which, Chengting's outburst at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that day was truly strange. Can you guess what it is?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Chengting immediately said, "They must have been poisoned by a curse."

He was no stranger to Gu worms, and in recent years he had often tormented Ying Zhuoxiu for amusement. So, after returning from the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he began to ponder his own condition.

He must have been bewitched at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that day.

However, he still didn't know exactly what kind of Gu it was.

"insanity?"

Cheng Xu'an's expression changed slightly.

Ying Chengting said, "Uncle Cheng, now that I've guessed I've been poisoned by Gu, I'm not afraid. My master, Master Xuanjing, knows a lot about Gu worms. I'll go to Huangjue Temple to see him as soon as possible."

Cheng Xu'an nodded. "This matter cannot be delayed, lest further trouble arise."

"Yes," Ying Chengting replied.

Next, the two families reconciled and had a very pleasant conversation.

The time was about right, so Ying Nanyao said, "Lord Cheng, Cheng Ting and I will not stay any longer. Cheng Ting caused trouble at the palace banquet, and I still need to take him to the homes of other officials to apologize."

Cheng Xu'an said, "That's how it should be."

……

When Ying Yufu left the Mu residence and arrived at the most bustling street, she heard a commotion coming from the Shengong Workshop as she passed by. There were also many onlookers gathered around.

"Why won't you give us a refund? We just bought it yesterday, and you won't give us a refund today? Is Shenggongfang a rip-off shop?"

The shrill female voice was noisy and incessant, followed by the kind and gentle voice of the shopkeeper of Shengongfang.

"Young lady, that's not how it works. Look, these bricks and stones have already been cut and broken after you bought them. If you return them intact, we can certainly return them."

But now that you've ruined everything, I'm sorry, we really can't offer a refund.

"Yes, young lady, you look like a maid from the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, right?"

Hey everyone, look! This maid's headdress and jewelry must be worth at least a hundred taels of silver.

Even the maids are so extravagant; it's clear that the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion is not short of money.

But if she's not short of money, why did this lady just say that her household expenses are insufficient?

The speaker was an old man wearing a straw hat, a coarse cloth shirt, and straw sandals.

The old man's words were sharp, and Liu Xueyan, who was singled out, looked increasingly embarrassed.

She stepped forward and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, please be lenient. You have to be flexible in business, don't you?"

We've broken these bricks and stones, but you can sell them to others just the same way. There will always be customers who need broken stones, right?

The shopkeeper's face immediately turned ugly.

Just then, the sharp-tongued old man said again, "Hey, you're being unreasonable, madam. Can broken bricks and whole bricks be priced the same?"

Besides, what if the next customers only want whole stones and no one wants crushed stones? Do you want this shop to lose money because of your selfishness?

He spoke with a strong voice, "Everyone, come and see! The Marquis of Weiyuan is abusing his power and bullying others. After damaging the bricks and stones, he wants to force a refund."

This divine workshop is going to be bullied terribly this time!

After listening for a while, Ying Yufu looked at the old man with a strange expression.

Chong'er said, "Miss, this old man is absolutely right. He must have disapproved of Liu Xueyan's behavior, which is why he spoke up for her. There are still many good people in this world!"

The kind old man's successful retirement successfully aroused the dissatisfaction of the onlookers towards Liu Xueyan, and some even threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at her.

"So what if the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion is so great? Does that give them the right to bully ordinary people?"

"This is outrageous! Does the Marquis of Weiyuan's household have any sense of reason? Bullying people in broad daylight in public?"

Liu Xueyan and her maid Biliu fled in panic.

Not only did they fail to remove the broken bricks and stones, they also caused themselves a lot of trouble, which was a net loss.

Now everyone knows that they first bought expensive bricks, then damaged them and tried to return them without any regard for the rules.

Ying Yufu's carriage was parked by the roadside. When she saw the righteous and outspoken "old man" about to leave, she quickly called out to him.

"This old man!"

The old man turned his head and looked over, meeting a smiling face with a face as beautiful as a peach blossom and eyes that were curved in a smile.

The old man immediately beamed with joy and climbed onto the carriage using both his hands and feet.

"I wonder what brings this young lady to call me old man?" the old man asked with a smile as he got into the car.

The insect looked at the scene before it with a puzzled expression.

Ying Yufu smiled and said, "Of course, I thank you for speaking up for Shenggongfang earlier, sir."

As she spoke, she looked the 'elderly person' up and down, "May I ask how old you are?"

The old man smiled and said, "Replying to your question, young lady, I am nineteen years old!"

Ga?

The insect was speechless.

Ying Yufu couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Highness, do you have any other disguise tools? I'd like to disguise myself too."

Ying Yufu asked.

Click!

The insect's wide-open mouth closed.

It turns out that the old man was actually His Highness the Crown Prince in disguise.

"Yes, there is an old lady's outfit. Fu'er, would you like to try it?"

The prince untied the bundle from his back.

Ying Yufu excitedly accepted the gift and began to dress up.

Before long, an old woman of about the same age as the old man appeared.

Halfway through the journey, Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince saw Ying Nanyao and Ying Chengting emerging from the home of a minister with smiles on their faces.

The minister also saw them out with a smile.
