Chapter 037

"What's the use?" Mrs. Cheng Guogong asked.

"Mingyun doesn't need to worship the Qin family."

"This is a rule passed down from the ancestors. The Qin family married you for three years and gave birth to Cheng Yan. She is a husband and a teacher. Although she is a beauty, she has hard work without credit. Do you want to deny her all the hard work as a wife?" Mrs. Cheng Guogong spoke eloquently, even very provocatively.

Obviously, when she paid homage to Mrs. Xian, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and hated such rules the most. Every time she cursed viciously in her heart, she wished every day that this broken rule would be cancelled.

But when it was time to use this rule to suppress the granddaughter-in-law, she became the most staunch supporter, and even wished to make it worse, let Wen Mingyun kneel on the ground and kowtow to the memorial tablet, the humbler the better.

"Which ancestor passed it down? You let him speak in front of me." Although Cheng Tingyu's voice was not full of air, the words were loud and full of domineering.

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience was silent, and everyone stared at him with rounded eyes.

Wen Mingyun was also taken aback. In fact, when she chose Cheng Tingyu, she had already prepared herself psychologically. She should not be too greedy. Although she wanted both, there was no such person waiting for her.

Besides, bowing to the memorial tablet, she has a lot of meat.

Moreover, Cheng Tingyu had never spoken to her before, not even in the previous prenuptial agreement.

She thought it was the tacit consensus of everyone.

It's just that he never expected that he directly refused today, and his tone was very firm, there was no room for change, and he even said something like asking his ancestors to come to him, which is really impressive.

"Are you playing a scoundrel?" Mrs. Cheng Shizi also spoke, and was immediately laughed angrily.

What kind of person is this, how can he say such brazen words.

"Speaking of being a rascal, isn't that what Second Aunt is best at? It has nothing to do with me, I'm reasoning." Cheng Tingyu said calmly.

Mrs. Cheng Shizi immediately stared, and was about to get angry on the spot, but was interrupted by him: "I didn't say this, but Cheng Yan said it. If you want to find someone to settle accounts, please look for him."

Well, today is also the time when Nizi comes in handy.

This son was not raised in vain. Although he is not promising, he is also stupid and invincible, and even spent all his money on tuition fees, but he can take the blame.

This one advantage alone outweighs thousands of disadvantages.

"The rules of the ancestors are written clearly and plainly. You are also a person who has read the books. No matter which etiquette book you read, you can find this rule. When the step-wife enters the door, he must visit the memorial tablet of the deceased wife. This is respect.It also emphasized the status of the dead wife, so that the husband and the step-wife should not forget her and remember their own identities." Mrs. Cheng Guogong's face turned cold, her voice seemed to be immersed in a cold pool, and people felt chills behind her.

Apparently, the Duke's wife was really angry. She looked at Cheng Tingyu with complete disgust, as if she was looking at heresy.

"Grandma doesn't need to say much. I have read a lot of etiquette, but it is for the ancestors, and others can use it if they like. My wife, Cheng Tingyu, doesn't need it."

"Death is like a lamp going out. In this world, it is enough for Qin's husband and son to worship her. This is the first time Ming Yun marries me, and I also marry her. She shouldn't be a head shorter than others." Cheng TingyuHis tone was serious and firm, inexplicably convincing.

But falling into Mrs. Cheng Guogong's ears, every single word was like a raging fire, burning blazingly, trying to burn her internal organs to ashes.

Why?

She also came here with such a dwarf back then, so why don't other women use it!

"She is not a head shorter than others, so who will pay for the grievances that the Qin family has suffered? You and your new wife can live in peace and have grandchildren. She is already dead, and the dead are the most important. She is just worshiping the memorial tablet.It's just a bow, why not?" Mrs. Cheng Guogong became more and more excited as she spoke.

Even looking at her excited appearance, people who didn't know thought she was the original spouse who died early, and the second wife didn't worship her.

But obviously she was the step-wife who had worshiped the memorial tablet for decades, but she seemed hysterical and completely fell into a demon.

"If Mrs. Qin really has resentment in her heart, then she can go to her husband. I dream back at midnight, and when she falls asleep, I have a clear conscience!"

"What a clear conscience, you are really a good husband of the Qin family! I see the newcomer laughing, but I hear the old one crying." Mrs. Cheng Guogong sneered again and again.

Cheng Tingyu looked up but didn't look at her, but stared straight at Cheng Guogong with a teasing smile on his face.

"Grandfather, listen to this from my grandmother's heart. She is blaming you for only seeing newcomers laughing and not hearing old ones cry. My grandmother's tablet is on the table. If the Duke and Madam want to worship, no one will stop her."Hurry up to worship. But if my wife doesn't worship, I don't care about the affairs of the other houses in the Duke's mansion, and you don't even want to care about the affairs of the eldest house. If anyone doesn't like it, you can go to court!"

His words were not harmless, as expected, the faces of Cheng Guogong and his wife changed after he said it.

The Duke's wife was even trembling with anger, and she never turned her head to look at the tablet on the table from the beginning to the end.

"Cough cough cough, husband, don't be angry. Cheng Yan told me before, you must take care of your body. Even if you are really angry, please have a lot of adults. Don't be as knowledgeable as them.When the girls get married, they are all staring at the duke's mansion, if there are a few more men, the sisters, aunts and nephews are probably reunited, and I don't know whether the duke's surname will be Cheng or Cen in the future."

Wen Mingyun coughed a few times first, his face was pale, he seemed frightened, but he tried his best to dissuade him.

Not only did he speak softly, but even the movement of holding his hand was cautious, with a sense of comfort.

It's just that the meaning in these words is very different from her gentle tone, like the wind and snow blowing in the cold winter, extremely sinister.

"Presumptuous!" Even the Duke couldn't sit still this time.

What is this called? Why is the surname Cen?

Mrs. Guogong and Mrs. Cheng Shizi's aunt and nephew are both surnamed Cen, which is simply embarrassing.

"Grandfather, this is what Cheng Yan said, and I'm just repeating it. I also think it's a bastard. Don't blame me!" Wen Mingyun immediately declared, with a face on his side.

Grandpa: "..."

His anger was already on his forehead, but it ended abruptly.

Cheng Yan was not around, so whoever he was targeting.

He finally found out that this new granddaughter-in-law really doesn't have a good brain.

No, you don't even agree with his bastard words, why repeat them?Is it just to use his tongue to scold others?

Then after scolding, I still have to say, I don't agree with this statement, I really took advantage of everything, and I still stand on a moral high ground, so that people can't scold her.

After thinking about it this way, felt that she was extremely smart.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, Cheng Yan farts as a treasure, right? What is the surname Cen in the mansion of the Duke, and only my mother and I have the surname Cen in this mansion. Who else has the surname Cen? Two women canLet the Duke's Mansion change my surname, why didn't I know that I have such a great ability!" Mrs. Cheng Shizi argued hard.

Wen Mingyun blinked, and said in a rather innocent tone: "Auntie, you didn't understand. What Cheng Yan meant was that my grandmother only has one son left, my second uncle. If I have more children, I will marry your surname Cen by then.Girl, it’s just that you can’t tell the difference. Cheng Yan also said, you women of the Cen family can definitely do this. After all, you also gave your husband a Cen Xiu before. If it wasn’t for his shortness of breath,Do your best to turn the tide, this mansion is already under the control of your Cen family!"

Before she took the initiative to speak, Cheng Tingyu next to her answered, "Well, only Cheng Yan can say this kind of nonsense that doesn't even use idioms correctly. Grandmother, Second Aunt, if you want to blame your surname Cen, don'tTo find my pale and weak lady, you have to find my naughty son."

After the couple finished speaking, they immediately looked at each other, holding hands again and looking into tears, the atmosphere was full.

Both Cens were furious, but because the culprit, Cheng Yan, was not present, they became impotent and furious.

Little bastard, wait, the Cen family will not let you go.

"Husband, you are so kind." Wen Mingyun coughed and spoke softly.

"Ma'am, this is what I should do." Cheng Tingyu held her hand tightly and looked at her affectionately.

In the eyes of others, these two people are like glue, and the oil is mixed with honey.

"My lord, don't listen to Cheng Yan's nonsense. You know me. When I told my second brother about my marriage, I didn't mention the Cen family at all. It was you who brought it up, so I—" Mrs. Guo gritted her teeth secretly in her heart., Wen Mingyun's words are very vicious.

But any man would care about this. How could they tolerate their own surname being deprived and let their wife's surname control the whole family. How is this different from being married?

Cheng Guogong already cared about these things, could he still have no ideas in his mind?

"You don't need to say more, I know." He waved his hands, his tone could not hear the emotion.

Mrs. Cheng Guogong was unavoidably anxious, but in front of many juniors, she really couldn't explain much, so she could only point the finger at the young couple who were causing trouble in front of her.

"Ting Yu, etiquette cannot be broken. It's not that you say you don't need to pay homage. Wen's, come and pay respects to Qin's. Before you get married, your parents should have made the rules." She said forcefully.

Just as Cheng Tingyu was about to speak, her wrist was held down by Wen Mingyun. She stood up and straightened her dress.

"Madam Guogong is right, I will worship right now. It's just that I'm not in good health and may have a cough, please forgive me."

"It's the Qin family, not me."

Wen Mingyun smiled softly: "Qin's magnanimity will not mind, but you are the most narrow-minded. If others look at you more, you will think that person is uneasy and kind, and you can't wait to beat him to death, what Cheng Yan said.”

After she finished speaking, she coughed continuously, her complexion turned pale and pale, as if she was about to cough out her lungs.

Even if Mrs. Guo had a lot of words to admonish her, she couldn't get in her mouth at all, and just stared at her as she walked forward step by step.

"Sister Qin, I—" Wen Mingyun finally walked up to the memorial tablet, and just as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he passed out as soon as he rolled his eyes.

The room was in chaos, and Mrs. Cheng Shizi immediately yelled: "Is this just pretending? I just repeated Cheng Yan's bastard words, and I was still full of energy. Why did I vomit blood and faint when I came to worship the memorial tablet? It really makes people think twice."no."

Her voice is so loud that she can't wait for the whole world to hear it.

Cheng Tingyu squeezed away the crowd, and immediately held Wen Mingyun's hand. Hearing these words, he immediately raised his head and stared at Mrs. Cheng Shizi bitterly.

"Second Aunt, what kind of bastard are you talking about? How can you be an elder? Ming Yun has been sick all year round, and everyone in Wangjing knows that you laughed at her before, but now you say she is pretending? You are relying on your status as an elder., insisting on forcing her to kneel down to worship the memorial tablet, she didn't say no, but she still made all kinds of sneering remarks at her. Now she is still saying that she is deceitful, a woman from a Qingliu family, how can she marry into the Duke's mansion, and you will be stepped onIn the mud—cough cough cough—”

His eyes were red, and there were tears in his eyes, and when he talked about emotion, he almost choked up.

"I know, you are not stepping on her, but on me. I wish I would die immediately, so that some people can sit more securely. Today is the first day of tea after our wedding, but the husband and wifeBeing so insulted, you are trying to force our husband and wife to die!"

His voice became hoarse as he spoke, his whole body trembled, and he even started to roll his eyes upwards.

After a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, he also fainted to the ground.

There was a moment of silence in the room, followed by more panic.

Oh my god, what an unlucky day, the newlyweds vomited blood and fainted. There is no way to justify the rumors that have been spread.

Even the well-informed Mrs. Cheng Guogong became flustered.

Wouldn't this be a real death?

The new couple served tea the next day, but died on the spot. No matter what bizarre excuses they made up, outsiders would not believe them, they would only think that their second wife was cruel, and finally couldn't help but attack the eldest.

Moreover, Cheng Tingyu had to die on the second day of their wedding, so that he could die at the happiest moment, and even brought his new wife with him, which simply wiped out the roots.

Thinking of such unfavorable remarks, Mrs. Guo felt a headache and hurriedly called for a doctor.

Mrs. Cheng Shizi almost laughed out loud, and couldn't help gloating.

These two people died quickly, they died in pairs, let's be a pair of ghost mandarin ducks.

It's just that when she raised her head to face the gloomy face of Grandpa Shangguo, she immediately turned cold, but the happy smile just now was caught by her father-in-law.

Cheng Guogong shouted on the spot: "What are you doing in a daze, and you don't let people come in and carry them into the house! Do you know how the Duke's mansion will explain to the emperor if something happens to them? Then youTake the divorce letter and go back to Cen's house and laugh slowly!"

Just this sentence has exposed Cheng Guogong's dissatisfaction with the Cen family.

When the Duke's wife heard it from the side, her heart suddenly turned cold.

The more hectic it is, the more it can reveal a person's sincerity.

It is not scary to say that the daughter-in-law is going to divorce, but he directly pointed out the Cen's family. It can be seen that the bastard words repeated by Wen Mingyun just now, the Duke still listened to his heart.

Mrs. Cheng Shizi shrank her neck, not caring about being happy, and hurriedly called the servants to come in.

One of her hearts was split in two, half a curse.

But the other half is praying again, there must be nothing wrong, otherwise their second wife will never be able to eat and walk around.

This is a married couple bestowed by the emperor. Damn it died during the tea service the next day. It's not two people who died, but Cheng Guogong's contempt for the emperor.

The Duke's Mansion invited several doctors to come over, but after taking the pulse, they were all helpless, and there were even two simple-minded ones, telling them to hurry up and prepare for the funeral.

Otherwise, it would not be easy to wear a shroud after people get cold.

When Mrs. Cheng Shizi heard these words, her legs went limp in fright on the spot, and she fell to the ground directly.

She is not to be dismissed.

She confirmed with the doctor again and again, but the answer she got was still the same, and she instantly became bewildered.

"Woooooo, eldest nephew, nephew and daughter-in-law, wake up. My aunt will never let you worship the Qin family again—"

Mrs. Cheng Shizi hugged her head and burst into tears on the spot. She never thought that one day, she would so sincerely hope that Cheng Tingyu and his wife would live a long life.

All the doctors in Wangjing couldn't see through the two pretending to be sick, and only Jiang Yuan sentenced them.

Cheng Guogong's mansion was in a mess and said to invite the imperial physician, but Jiang Yuanjue was taking the empress dowager's pulse today, so naturally he couldn't invite him, even if he invited other imperial physicians, he would have to listen to the death notice again.

Cheng Guogong couldn't maintain the expression on his face any longer, and got angry at his second son and daughter-in-law on the spot.

"If the two of them really can't be rescued today, you should immediately go to the graves of Wen's family and your elder brother to plead guilty! It's just a broken memorial tablet. If you want to worship or not, you can lose a piece of meat if you don't worship? You have been bitingDon't let it go. Why, Mrs. Wen went to worship Mrs. Qin, you two can get gold and silver mountains, it is still a panacea, and you are as mad as a demon..."

Cheng Guogong didn't know that the two of them were pretending, he just thought that the death of these two people was a certainty, and he was under a lot of pressure.

Usually, the two families fight back and fight, even if Cheng Tingyu vomits blood several times, the Duke has never been in such a hurry.

After all, this is considered a family matter, and other people's hands cannot reach in.

But now that Wen Mingyun is brought along, he not only has to endure the revenge of Wen Bohan like a mad dog, but also faces the emperor's questioning.

This is a marriage-giving decree personally issued by the Ninth Five-Year Lord. As a result, the two newlyweds died the next day after they got married. To put it seriously, the entire Duke's mansion is disrespecting the decree. Even if they take advantage of the opportunity, they will be sentenced to exileThat's not impossible.

Besides, Wen Mingyun is still the best friend of the fifth princess, this princess will definitely intervene, when the time comes, the Duke's mansion will not be able to live a happy life.

The more Cheng Guogong thought about it, the colder his heart became, he even felt in a trance that a catastrophe was imminent, and immediately cursed.

Originally, he still gave his old wife some face, just pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, but when the two imperial doctors shook their heads and sighed, he simply let go.

"I think that although Cheng Yan is usually out of tune, he likes to tell the truth the most. No one likes to listen to the truth. You girls of the Cen family are a whole lot of trouble. If it weren't for the two of you here to make trouble,Jumping up and down like a pheasant, the Duke's Mansion will not be reduced to this point!" The Duke said angrily.

Mrs. Guo's face turned pale on the spot, and there were servants all around, and it was likely that the doctors who came to diagnose the pulse heard it, but the Duke didn't care about her face at all, and scolded her for being ugly on the spot, even rising to the level of the whole family.The Cen family, her heart is bleeding.

But she didn't dare to refute a word.

Cheng Shizi, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "Father, the matter is not settled yet, so don't worry. Besides, mother is also considering the reputation of her nephew and daughter-in-law. She has done nothing but hard work in running the Duke's mansion all these years.Back then, for the sake of elder brother's funeral, she had a miscarriage and gave birth to a well-formed boy, so don't scold her."

The Duke's wife was in tears on the spot, but as expected, only her son was considerate of her.

On the other hand, Mrs. Cheng Shizi, who didn't dare to say anything, looked up dissatisfiedly, resentful in her heart.

Why, the mother-in-law can't scold her, so she should scold her severely!

"You're right. You really shouldn't be scolding your mother. If it weren't for such a useless thing like you, you would just hide behind women's backs and enjoy the blessings all day long, driving your daughter-in-law to be a demon.Accomplish this pair of virtues! I will not only scold you today, but also beat you as an unfilial thing!"

The Duke of the State was even more annoyed when he heard the second son's protection of his old wife.

For the original wife and the eldest son who died early, he actually owes something. These years, the Duke's mansion has been full of smog, and it has never been because of his connivance.

Now that the incident happened, he would not blame himself, but only resent others.

The reminder of the second son's words reminded him of the eldest son who died young, guilt and anger were mixed, and he urgently needed an outlet.

He picked up the wooden stick at the side, pointed it directly at the second son and drew it.

This Cheng Shizi is not too young, he just had a grandson, but now he is beaten in public, what face will he have to take charge of the Duke's mansion in the future.

Outside, there are people jumping around, people beating, blocking, crying...

All kinds of voices gathered together, it was really annoying.

Even Wen Mingyun who was lying in the back room could hear it clearly, but she was in a good mood.

I don't even think it's lively enough. It should be accompanied by a suona. When the suona is blown and covered with a white cloth, everyone outside will be happy and ascend to heaven.

If it weren't for the old doctor hanging around around her, maybe she would have to laugh and hum a song to celebrate.

She felt more and more that she still had a bit of a vision in picking a man.

She saw through the essence of Cheng Tingyu's old tea man at the first glance, and he lived up to everyone's expectations. He was a perfect match with her and staged one wonderful show after another.

The two of them don't need to conspire in advance, just spontaneously you vomit blood and I follow closely, it is simply a match made in heaven.

The two of them vomited blood and retired after success. They didn't need to add fuel to the scene, the doctor behind them took the initiative to push forward for them, and Cheng Guogong's mansion lived up to everyone's expectations, and made a fuss.

Jiang Yuan was not invited to the Duke's Mansion until evening.

As soon as he came out of Shoukang Palace, he was picked up by the son-in-law of Cheng Guogong's mansion. The son-in-law's expression of mourning made him think that Cheng Guogong was going to die.

As a result, when he heard that the young couple had an accident, or both vomited blood in tandem, he slowed down on the spot.

What's the hurry, they can't die.

Haven't you heard a word?Good people don't live long, but evil people live for thousands of years.

As for these two evils who have more eyes than hair, they are definitely pretending to be sick.

In order not to wrong people, he inquired carefully again, although the uncle still remembered that his family's ugliness should not be publicized, he hesitated and refused to speak.

But only from this few words, Jiang Yuanping can be sure, he guessed right.

This familiar plot is never similar to the scene in which the fifth princess personally received two mouthfuls of blood with her face!

"Jiang Yuan please hurry up."

When Jiang Yuanpeng arrived, Cheng Guogong was still picking on the crown prince, and when he saw him, he threw the wooden stick and hurriedly invited him in.

Seeing Cheng Shizi's distressed appearance with his hair disheveled and red stick marks on his neck, Jiang Yuanping couldn't help but compare in his heart.

Which is more miserable than the five princesses back then?
