Chapter 418: Who are you humiliating?
Cheng Dongjiang was instantly splashed with cold water, and he nodded and bowed timidly, "My father-in-law reminds me! Don't worry, I will take good care of these betrothal gifts, and there will never be any mistakes!"
No matter how much, he can't guarantee it.
Dekang drooped his eyelids and said calmly: "Master Cheng! Remember, there must be no problem, otherwise it will affect the Xuanwu Cauldron. Even if the Cheng family has a hundred heads, it won't be enough!"
Cheng Dongjiang's face turned completely pale. He broke out in a cold sweat and his eyes went straight out of fear in the ice and snow.
Seeing that he was a little frightened, Dekang smiled and reassured him, "Actually, it's not that big of a deal. Just be careful and take care of things. The palace officials will help with the wedding. Mr. Cheng and Mr. Cheng Don’t worry, madam.”
“Yes, yes,” Cheng Dongjiang respectfully sent Dekang and his party away.
Looking at the boxes and cages all over the yard, he was only shocked but no longer happy. He glanced at the faces of everyone in the yard with a stern face, "You all heard what my father-in-law just said! If there is even the slightest mistake in the things here, all the Cheng family's possessions will be lost." Everyone loses their head, including me!
So, no matter what your thoughts are, you are not allowed to have any ideas about these things. Do you hear me? "
“Yes!” The housekeeper, the maid, the wife and the boy all responded in unison.
Cheng Dongjiang waved his hand tiredly and called to the housekeeper, "Take a few reliable people to verify these things one by one and put them in the warehouse. There will be people guarding them for twelve hours. I will go and take inventory myself!"
Mrs. Cheng and Aunt Sun followed Cheng Dongjiang and were very reluctant to see the servants sending those things into the warehouse.
“Son, all my belongings in Yishoutang have been sold, you must ask Mrs. Cui to send those things back to me!” Old Mrs. Cheng pulled Cheng Dongjiang’s sleeves forcefully.
She didn't make a fuss before because she was unreasonable and had a guilty conscience. Now that the emperor has made it clear that there is no need for their family to prepare a betrothal gift, she can confidently ask Cui Yuying to return her things.
Cheng Dongjiang, one with two children in his head, advised impatiently: "Mother, the first priority is to pack up these betrothal gifts. Don't worry about other things. If this thing is not handled well, it will be useless no matter how many things you have in Yishoutang!" "
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, her face fell instantly, and she had no choice but to listen to Cheng Dongjiang.
She was suffocating and was sent back to Yishou Hall by Aunt Sun. As soon as she entered the door, she started to curse.
Aunt Sun thought about the boxes of betrothal gifts and was very unwilling to do so. "Mom, although I am Princess Shang, the betrothal gifts given by the emperor are too many! Don't those things add up to several thousand taels?"
She was born from a poor village girl. Although becoming a concubine to Cheng Dongjiang was regarded as entering an official family, the Cheng family did not have any wealth and relied on the help of the Cui family to get what they have today.
As an aunt, her monthly income is only 800 yuan. She can only coax Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Dongjiang every day, get more from their hands, and slowly save it. In her opinion, she will not be able to do anything in her life. Maybe he could save a few hundred taels, let alone a few thousand taels. Even if he sold the entire Cheng family, he wouldn't be able to get that much money.
Now that so many valuable treasures have entered the Cheng family, they are right under her nose but have nothing to do with her. It is simply torture. They are all sons of the Cheng family. Why can Cheng Hong have the emperor to help prepare betrothal gifts? When her son gets married I don’t even know how much dowry my family will give me. This is so unfair.
When Mrs. Cheng thought about those things, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. She gasped angrily and continued to curse, "When Princess Wu Ya comes through, I will see how arrogant Cui can be!" Aunt Sun didn't see her for a long time. Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but scolded Mrs. Cheng several times for thinking about those things. She secretly thought about how to secretly get some small things and hide them so that they wouldn't be discovered!
Because the emperor had prepared a betrothal gift for Cheng Hong, Cui Yudie wiped away her previous depression and behaved like a princess and mother-in-law wherever she went. She wanted to look at people with her chin, and even went to the Cui Mansion with the gift to express her apology. , but she was actually showing off, but she was stopped as soon as she arrived at the door. She was so angry that she stood outside Cui's house and shouted that she would never enter Cui's house again.
Cui Boyuan said to Cui Guang with a cold face: "Father, it's hard to change a country's nature. I heard everything that Eunuch Dekang said in the Cheng Mansion that day. I thought that if she knew what was good and what was wrong, I would give her a few reminders. , Now it seems that we have worried too much, but for the sake of the Cui family, we can take this opportunity to break up with the Cheng family to avoid being affected by the Cheng family. "
There was deep regret in Cui Guang's eyes. After sighing several times, he closed his eyes and said, "It goes without saying that the women in the backyard know about this matter. You go out quietly and get this matter done!"
After all, I can't escape the word "shameful".
Cui Boyuan got his father's permission and went to confront Cui Yudie outside the house in person. With a few words, he made Cui Yudie, who was in high spirits, furious and forced her to say many harsh words, which made people from nearby houses come to inquire. information.
Cui Boyuan took the opportunity to answer Cui Yudie's words, "Everyone in the capital knows what is going on with the Cheng family. Now that Cheng Hong has not yet become the master, you have become crazy and look down on your natal family! In this case, the Cui Cheng family will be broken up. From now on, The Cheng family is prosperous and has nothing to do with our Cui family. Our Cui family will never take advantage of your wealth! Please remember that from now on, you are no longer a member of our Cui family!"
"You! Cui Boyuan! Why do you say such words on behalf of the Cui family?" Cui Yudie knew that she couldn't accept such words even though she had no brains, and her aura immediately weakened.
Cui Boyuan sneered and said: "Because I am the next head of the Cui family, and because you ignore your mother's anger and illness, and are unfilial, unfaithful and ungrateful, I have a hundred reasons to disown you!"
Others pointed, and the maid next to Cui Yudie whispered: "Madam, you want to be a princess and mother-in-law, and you must not bear such a reputation."
Cui Yudie's face darkened, and she glared at Cui Boyuan resentfully, "Brother! I have no enmity with you, how could you slander me like this?"
"Am I slandering you?" Cui Boyuan looked at the people around him and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone must have heard about my mother's physical condition. Ever since her mother fell ill, Mrs. Cheng has never taken the initiative to show concern. Today, she brought a gift. But it’s a box of Hongfengzhai snacks! Is this what someone visiting his own mother would do?”
“Why do you buy dim sum from Hongfengzhai?”
“Isn’t that a shop that specializes in Hualiu Street business? How can the Cheng family buy cakes in a place like that?”
“If I were Mrs. Cui, I would be **** to death!”
Cui Yudie looked at the maid beside her with a pale face in shock, wishing she could beat her to death.
The maid was timid and did not dare to defend herself. The young master had brought this thing back yesterday. Madam had always searched for it, but she was reluctant to spend money when she saw that there were ready-made snacks at home. Now she was blaming her.
