Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 26

[Chapter 26]

Cheng Yujin returned to the yard, and the little girl who was guarding the door saw her and ran in to report: “Sister Forsythia, Sister Du Ruo, the girl is back!”

Forsythia was circling in a hurry, when she heard Cheng Yujin came back, she picked up her skirt and ran out: “Girl, you’re back!”

Du Ruo also followed with a solemn expression, Cheng Yujin held down Forsythia’s hand and motioned her not to say anything: “I’m fine, let’s go first.”

Forsythia nodded quickly.

Cheng Yujin returned to the house with a sullen face, Du Ruo calmly drove out the little maids in the house, and brought a cup of hot tea to Cheng Yujin himself.

The two maids surrounded her. Forsythia lowered her voice and asked, “Girl, this servant was just saying to go out to find you, but fortunately you are back. Girl, what’s wrong?”

Cheng Yujin shook her head, she still felt that she remembered what happened just now. incredible.

She took a sip of tea wearily, and tossed it all afternoon, frightened and wit, Cheng Yujin’s throat was already dry.

After she moistened her throat, she moved the tea cover repeatedly, her eyes were empty, and she seemed to be thinking.

Du Ruo and Forsythia could see that Cheng Yujin was thinking about something, they did not dare to urge and waited eagerly.

Cheng Yujin finally closed the lid of the cup, put the tea cup on the table, and swept her eyes towards Du Ruo quietly.

Du Ruo understands, and sits on the threshold with the needle and thread basket in his arms, obviously to do needle and thread, but in fact guards the door.

After the environment in the house was safe, Cheng Yujin asked, “Forsythia, how did you get back?”

Forsythia also knew that the matter was no trivial matter, she knelt beside the foot of the Arhat bed, frowned, and tried her best not to miss any detail: ” After the girl entered, the servants followed the girl’s instructions and carefully guarded outside the window. The servants looked carefully, and no one passed by during this period. But I don’t know what happened. After a quarter of an hour, people around Jiuye suddenly appeared. Come, say that the girl has left with the ninth master, and let the slaves follow. The slaves don’t know why, but the girl has an explanation, and the slaves dare not leave the window. Later, they stared at the slaves for a while, and then dispersed on their own.”

“Soon someone came to the front door, and the servant did not dare to stay there, so she quickly avoided it. Later, the servant secretly looked around at the gate of the old Houye’s courtyard, but there was no one inside who said that the big girl, the servant was not sure what was going on, and thought the girl had come out. After the servant came back, Du Ruo said that the girl did not come back, the servant panicked and was about to go out to find the girl, and you appeared.”

Forsythia repeated, Cheng Yujin listened quietly .

He didn’t ask a word.

After listening to Forsythia’s words, she already knew what was going on.

Cheng Yujin didn’t answer, and instead asked, “Did anyone see you when you came back?”

“No, the slaves are careful and avoid people all the way.”

“Well.” Cheng Yujin nodded, she never showed any emotion. , suddenly became serious and solemn at this moment, “Today’s affairs can only be rotten in the stomach, and can’t be mentioned to anyone, not even Du Ruo. Do you know?”

Forsythia rarely see Cheng Yujin so serious, no matter what happened before , Cheng Yujin was calm and calm, and she was the only one who put worry on her face like today.

Forsythia was frightened and nodded hastily.

After beating the forsythia, Cheng Yujin was very tired and waved her to go out.

Forsythia lowered her head and stepped back. Suddenly, only Cheng Yujin was left in the room, and she could almost hear the sound of burning incense cakes.

Cheng Yujin sighed, leaned her head on the pillow, and covered her eyes with her hands.

With darkness in front of her eyes and no light at all, Cheng Yujin could think more intently.

Her eyelashes trembled quickly and subtly under her fingers, Cheng Yujin forced herself to calm down, bit by bit, opened her eyes and recalled what happened today.

Cheng Yuanjing’s true identity really caught her off guard.

Cheng Yujin had heard some rumors from Mrs. Cheng before. It was nothing more than Mrs. Cheng’s suspicion for many years that Cheng Yuanjing was not from the Cheng family’s blood, but that the little Xue clan secretly conceived a baby when she was exiled, and was born with a wild man who did not know where. ‘s illegitimate child.

Seeing that he could no longer hide because of his age, the little Xue family falsely claimed that he was the son of Old Marquis Cheng, in vain trying to rely on the child to return to Beijing to live a wealthy life.

But Mr. Cheng is really unprincipled and partial to the child who appeared halfway, and what is even more irritating is that the child is extremely good, far surpassing Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan.

Mrs. Cheng was so angry that her heart and lungs hurt. She hated both the little Xue family and her son’s failure to live up to their expectations. Therefore, on weekdays, no one would let anyone mention the youngest ninth son, and during the festivals, Xiao Xue family and that child would not be allowed to go to the family. door.

Over time, very few people in the Cheng family knew about Jiu Ye, and Cheng Yujin, the younger generation, had never seen Jiu Ye at all.

Fortunately, Cheng Yuanjing doesn’t seem to want to go back to Cheng’s house. Over the years, he can count the number of times he has returned home with one hand.

After Xiao Xue’s death, he stayed out of town and didn’t even have a message for three years.

Even if someone said that Cheng Yuanjing had died in another place, the Cheng family believed it.

Old Marquis Cheng had only two sons, both of whom were from Mrs. Cheng. When Cheng Yuanjing came back, he was ranked ninth in the line of seniority.

Of course, Cheng Yujin doesn’t care about the grievances and grievances of the previous generation. What does it have to do with her?

Cheng Yujin only thought about it when he was most bored. I’m afraid, Cheng Yuanjing is really not the son of Lord Cheng.

Mrs. Cheng can be said to be the person who knows Mr. Cheng the most, and she has doubts in her heart, most of which are not groundless.

Besides, the Cheng family members are all greedy for pleasure and not enterprising, Cheng Yuanjing is too motivated, not like the melons that can grow out of the Cheng family’s fields.

Who knows that the jokes Cheng Yujin choreographed in his spare time is a prophecy, and Cheng Yuanjing really doesn’t have the surname Cheng.

Cheng Yujin felt terrible just thinking about it, that Cheng Laohou did such a big thing quietly, and the worst thing was that he didn’t tell his family.

Thinking of Cheng Yuanxian’s commanding attitude towards Cheng Yuanjing, Cheng Yujin felt the pain in his brain.

Her biggest wish in life is to become rich and powerful, but unfortunately it is too difficult to rely on her to achieve this, so Cheng Yujin can only turn to investing in men.

Since she was sensible, she has deliberately managed the reputation of a good wife and a good mother, pretending to be a good girl in front of the ladies and wives. Seeing that she is getting more and more beautiful, and her reputation is getting bigger and bigger. She is only one step away from her dream. Was pulled on the back leg.

First, Huo Chang Yuan, an idiot, broke off her marriage, and her reputation for years of business fell short.

Fortunately, breaking off the marriage can be considered a timely stop loss, Cheng Yujin can barely cope, but she never expected that her father has been rushing to death.

Cheng Yujin thought to herself that no one could stop her from marrying her husband, not even her father.

The prince’s Buddha is too big, Cheng Yujin dare not think about it, but it can still be considered if it is properly used.

Cheng Yujin opened her eyes and carefully planned the next path.

After today’s encounter, the things she always felt strange in the past life have been explained.

Cheng Yujin had a dream in which he watched the life of “Cheng Yujin” like a wandering soul.

She hadn’t actually experienced those, and her love, hatred, and hatred were like reading other people’s stories, as if there was a layer of fog, and nothing was real.

It is not so much that she has experienced such a lifetime, it is better to say that she has accidentally glimpsed another life of her own.

However, she did remember a few idiots, especially Huo Chang Yuan.

In her own life, she had little contact with Ninth Uncle.

She never broke off her marriage with Huo Chang Yuan, never bumped into Cheng Yuanjing’s return to the house, and never embroidered a screen for Cheng Yuanjing.

In the summer when Cheng Yuanjing returned to Beijing, she married Huo Changyuan.

After all, it’s this month.

She understands very well the way to survive in the inner house. It is true that men have great power, but it is the wife who is really in charge of women’s clothing, food, housing and transportation.

Cheng Yujin has always been very rational, this life, and the previous life.

Therefore, in her previous life, she did not offend Mrs. Cheng for a nominal uncle she had never known before, and when she got married, she and Cheng Yuanjing would never get to know each other.

It was only later that I vaguely heard that Ninth Uncle returned to Beijing to show himself, and then went to another place to serve as an official.

There was no news after that, and I heard that he died of illness in office.

At that time, Cheng Yujin was already pregnant. She was devastated because of Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo, and she had no intention of paying attention to an uncle who was not close.

Immediately after, there is no then.

Because she died in childbirth.

He was only sixteen when he died.

I didn’t realize it was wrong when I was dreaming, but thinking about it now, Cheng Yujin figured out a lot of strange things.

For example, after her death, why did Huo Chang Yuan marry Cheng Yumo smoothly; why did Huo Chang Yuan have a smooth career in his career; why did the Cheng family have no prospects at all, why they remained rich for many years.

Another example is that the Huo Xue family clearly hates other women being close to their sons the most. After Huo Chang Yuan remarried Cheng Yumo, the Huo Xue family was very polite to Cheng Yumo.

Following the perspective of the people in the book, she reluctantly admitted that Cheng Yumo had a good life and was born to be loved.

But thinking about it now, the bullshit’s life is good, it is clear that Huo Changyuan secretly leaked words with Huo Xue’s, and let Huo Xue know that there are immortals behind the Cheng family, and they have to rely on the Cheng family’s daughter and the prince to befriend.

Even if it’s just a name, but after all, he has sheltered the prince for so many years. In view of this face, the prince will always mention the Ctrip family one or two.

And the men in the Cheng family couldn’t support the wall one by one. Isn’t this ready-made benefit left to the son-in-law.

Damn young talent, Huo Chang Yuan’s rise to prominence is all thanks to the Cheng family!

No wonder he wants to marry Cheng Yumo, the so-called savior, the so-called first love and true love are all excuses, and dying is only a small part.

The real reason why he married Cheng Yumo was that the Cheng family was kind to the prince, and the daughter of the Cheng family was a ready-made ladder.

Cheng Yujin felt angry, how bad luck she was in her last life, but she married Huo Changyuan.

As long as it is another person, with her meticulously managed marriage and the grace that the prince casually leaked out, she can live a beautiful life no matter who she marries.

However, she married into the Huo family and was betrayed by her husband and sister. When the prince had not recovered his identity, she died of blood collapse due to her mother-in-law’s negligence.

She didn’t know the truth until she died.

Cheng Yujin took a deep breath, her previous life had been cleared, and now everything has not started, she has a chance to reopen.

This time, she must use the very bright trump card of the prince.

Cheng Yujin didn’t know whether to admire Cheng Laohou’s courage or to admire his own courage.

But since she walked out of the closet alive today, it means that His Highness is not interested in her life.

Otherwise, he really didn’t need to do this.

Since he didn’t want to kill people, the rest was much simpler.

The crown prince has a lot of opportunities and shoulders a great cause. How can he care about a little girl taking advantage of the situation properly? Cheng Yujin even thought about letting Cheng Yuanjing give her marriage directly. The children of the rich and powerful in the city can marry whoever she wants.

Cheng Yujin hurriedly took a sip of tea to calm down, she slowly regained her senses, although Cheng Yuanjing was the prince, but now he only knew it, he knew the emperor.

Judging from the momentum he has been hiding for fifteen years, he will not publicize his identity until the time is right.

Then it’s embarrassing, who knows when Cheng Yuanjing plans to go back, she is fourteen, still waiting for Cheng Yuanjing to restore her identity and order a marriage?

I’m afraid it’s difficult.

Cheng Yujin was a little sad, looking at Cheng Yumo’s performance, at least until Cheng Yumo died, Cheng Yumo didn’t know that the prince was the ninth uncle of the Cheng family.

There are two possibilities. One is that Cheng Yumo also had bad luck and died before the prince recovered his identity; the other is that His Royal Highness did not recognize the Cheng family all his life, and when the time was right, the crown prince was suddenly arrested by the palace. Find it in the middle and welcome back to the East Palace.

Li Chengjing is Li Chengjing, Cheng Yuanjing is Cheng Yuanjing, but Cheng Yuanjing is dead.

Those who knew the inside story were all the most important people in the world. Even if the people below felt that His Royal Highness was familiar, they would not dare to say that the prince who had been missing for many years looked a lot like another person.

As long as the Cheng family is handled well, no one will pierce through this royal scandal.

Intuition told Cheng Yujin that most of the time, it was the latter.

She wanted to pretend to be a tiger, and she didn’t know if the tiger would give away a single feather.

Cheng Yujin’s heart was unspeakably heavy, she weighed it for a while, and finally the Lin family’s advantage of not accepting a concubine prevailed.

The Lin family’s background is not weak, and Lin Qingyuan’s own prospects are still a junior that the prince is very optimistic about.

Now she seems to have accidentally seen the answer before the exam. Lin Qingyuan can see with the naked eye that there is huge room for improvement. How can she let go of such a super potential stock?

Cheng Yujin finally settled on the target husband, the champion Lin Qingyuan.

By the way, for her and her husband-in-law’s good future, while she can still get in touch with Cheng Yuanjing, she has to curry favor with this master.

No, this is called sharing your worries for you.

Cheng Yujin was in Cheng Yuanjing all night, and the next day she went to greet the master of Qingfu County as usual, and found that Cheng Yuanxian was actually there.

Strange, the sun is going to hit the west side today.

It can be seen that the girls in the Qingfu House are also not used to it. They are happy like the New Year, and the melons, fruits and cakes are served one after another.

The princess of Qingfu was wearing bright red clothes with a beaming face. When she saw Cheng Yujin come in, she gave an unprecedented smile: “The eldest girl is here.”

Cheng Yujin also skillfully put on a smile and saluted the first two people: “Daughter here.

Father and mother, please be safe, the second old man has a white head, and his happiness lasts forever.”

Qingfu County Lord laughed when he heard it, and the few words Cheng Yujin said touched the heart of Qingfu County Lord.

Which woman doesn’t look forward to being with her husband with a white head. The Lord of Qingfu County doesn’t see Cheng Yuanxian a few times a month. It’s rare to come to her house today. Cheng Yujin said “Fu Lu, a white head” as soon as she opened her mouth. Overjoyed.

As for the longevity of the future, it is of course that the children and grandchildren are blessed.

Qing Fu thinks of his precious son and becomes more and more happy.

Hearing the auspicious words early in the morning, the Qingfu County Master was in a good mood, and even looked at Cheng Yujin.

She slapped Cheng Yujin carefully, thinking that it was a pity, if Cheng Yujin really crawled out of her stomach, it would be a blessing to have such a smart and beautiful eldest daughter in ten lifetimes.

It’s a pity that she is the slut of the second room.

But Cheng Yuanxian saw Cheng Yujin coming and asked, “Sister Jin, how are you doing recently?”

Cheng Yujin glanced silently at the county master of Qingfu, and said, “Thanks to my mother’s care, everything is fine with my daughter.

” It can be seen that it looks a lot better, and Cheng Yuanxian also nodded to Qingfu with satisfaction: “It seems that you really care about Sister Jin, that’s fine.”

He said to Cheng Yujin again: “Your mother has been a housekeeper for many years, she has rich experience, and you are also old. It’s not too young, you have to learn more from your mother.”

Cheng Yujin quietly looked at Cheng Yuanxian, who never cared about her children, pretending to be a loving father, and she smiled the same: “My daughter understands, thank my father for teaching.”

Cheng Yuanxian said a few words and felt that she was a good father who couldn’t be more responsible.

He was very satisfied, and when he was content, he slowly revealed his true intention: “Sister Jin, you walked at the end yesterday, did you hear what your grandfather said?”

Cheng Yujin couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. ask?

Did he find anything?

Cheng Yujin said calmly, “No. At that time, my grandfather was already asleep, and my daughter didn’t hear a voice. Why did my father ask that?”

“Nothing.” Cheng Yuanxian put his hands together, and after a while, he couldn’t help but say , “I heard that after everyone left yesterday, Cheng Yuanjing went back again. I don’t know what my father said to him.”

Cheng Yujin understood as soon as he heard it, there were many eyes in the mansion, and Cheng Yuanjing came back from the outside. There can be no one.

He was still seen when he returned to the old Houye’s yard yesterday.

If Cheng Yuanxian said this, at least it means that her whereabouts have not been exposed.

Everyone in the Cheng family didn’t know that Cheng Yujin was there at the time, otherwise, Cheng Yuanxian wouldn’t be in such a questioning tone.

Cheng Yujin knew something in her heart, and said calmly, “Uncle Ninth sent the imperial doctor out of the house. He didn’t know that his father and others were gone, so it’s no wonder that he went straight back to his grandfather’s yard. Does father have something to say to Uncle Ninth? ”

What do I have to say to him!” Cheng Yuanxian snorted coldly, with a look of contempt, “I’m just afraid that my father will be old and confused and will leave his family property to outsiders.”

Cheng Yujin knew that Cheng Yuanxian was thinking about his family property.

It’s not that she doubts Cheng Yuanjing’s identity. Cheng Yujin is undoubtedly relieved, but she has some complicated emotions in her heart.

Old Marquis Cheng was thinking about Cheng Yuanjing when he was about to die, so as to make profits for his children and grandchildren.

And his good sons, without waiting for him to breathe, will start to plan the property of Old Marquis Cheng.

Cheng Yujin suddenly felt a little sad.

She could hear that yesterday Old Hou Ye deliberately used his illness and kindness to hold Cheng Yuanjing hostage. How could Cheng Yuanjing not hear it?

His biological father refused to recognize him, and half of the adoptive father was thinking about his son. How would he feel when he heard these words?
