Episode 4

After Xiao Yuanyi and Qingyuan left the side courtyard and came to the main house, they overheard Ge's abuse of his second brother. His words were all ridiculing the second brother and blaming the big house for his faults.When Xiao Yuanyi and Qing Yuan came in, Cheng Chengxi thought Chang was sitting in front of the case and allowed himself to be humiliated by Ge's words.Those old sayings that are repeated over and over again are nothing more than the fact that when Ge married Cheng Cheng, the Cheng family was in dire straits.Cheng Cheng had long been tired of hearing this, and his usually boring temperament always became unbearable, and he began to think of divorcing his wife.However, these words made Ge become furious and started beating him. Xiao Yuanyi immediately showed up and scolded him, finding an excuse and asking Qing Yuan to take Cheng Cheng away first.Seeing his sister-in-law suddenly appear, Cheng Cheng felt embarrassed, aggrieved and grateful.

It's just that Xiao Yuanyi didn't want to see the joke, but complained for the second brother, and she was full of love for the second brother in her heart. After all, Cheng Cheng and Cheng Shi were several years apart, but they looked like old people, with haggard eyes.Angry, this look made Xiao Yuanyi even more angry with Cheng Cheng.Ge was about to come forward to entangle him, but Xiao Yuanyi slapped him with such force that he was knocked down. Qing Yuan had already supported Cheng Cheng and quickly retreated.In situations like this in the past, Ge Shi had to make a few more fuss, but the battle in front of her made her a little scared. The docile, kind, dignified and meticulous lady in her impression turned cold-faced, as if in the next secondYou can peel her skin and cramp her.Taking this opportunity, Xiao Yuanyi mentioned the old and new grudges to the Ge family, ruthlessly exposed the other party's true colors, and threatened to notify the Ge family to accept the divorce letter.Ge was shocked when he heard this. He never thought that Xiao Yuanyi would mention the past again.

When Xiao Yuanyi was about to give birth, Ge was jealous, so he lied to the old fairy and claimed that leaving the fetus in the main house would protect Mrs. Cheng from evil.Cheng Shi was very reluctant after learning about it, so he argued with his mother. However, an imperial edict came, requiring Cheng Shi to marshal his army and set off immediately.Xiao Yuanyi gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and finally decided to leave his daughter to his aunt, and followed her husband to the battlefield with her young son in her arms.Thinking about it again today, Xiao Yuanyi can still feel the pain of separation. She ordered Ge family to be grounded on the spot to avoid ruining the auspicious day of moving, and then walked out without looking back.Ling Buyi found a suspicious shop in the city, so he led people to surround it, and relied on clues to find Xu Jinzhong, who had been missing for many days.

Just when everyone wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Xu Jinzhong suddenly bit his tongue and committed suicide, with poison still hidden in his mouth. The clues were completely lost.Ling Buyi did not give up, but searched Xu Jinzhong's body and found the birthmark on his neck. This reminded Ling Buyi of witnessing this man switching weapons when he was young, and ordered his men to dig three feet into the ground to find clues.And the news of Xu Jinzhong's death must not be disclosed to the outside world.It had only been a few days since the last visit to the Ge family. Grandpa Ge came all the way with his eldest daughter-in-law. Even though he had traveled a long distance and his face was full of weathered color, he still could not hide his gentle and polite manner.Everyone in the Cheng family came forward to greet her, especially when Cheng Shu saw Aunt Ge, she immediately threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.Seeing everyone surrounding Cheng Shu, paying attention to and comforting her emotional changes, Cheng Shaoshang leaned against the edge of the porch without saying a word, trying to hide himself in the corner until everyone exchanged greetings and walked into the inner hall.Xiao Yuanyi had no time to take care of her daughter. In a hurry, she had to organize the reception banquet and arrange the guest room.

Grandpa Ge was a highly respected and reasonable person. He knew that he had failed to teach his daughter well, so he took the initiative to apologize to his parents and made no complaints about the divorce.However, Mrs. Ge didn't repent, and even Aunt Ge couldn't stand it, accusing her of never fulfilling her filial duty, and only knowing how to fool around day after day. Seeing the old man Ge, who was almost seventy years old, coming all the way in the wind and snow, he actuallyNot even a trace of guilt.On the other hand, Mrs. Ge was ashamed of the whole Cheng family, and she burst into tears as she spoke. Cheng Cheng also cried uncontrollably. Although he usually hated Mr. Ge, he had been loyal to this kind old man who helped the weak and cared for the poor since he was a child.It's all about admiration.Most of the time I married Ge for the first time because of Mrs. Ge. I secretly felt that I would be satisfied with becoming the father-in-law, but I didn't want to end up in this situation.Cheng Shaoshang wanted to avoid the disputes of her elders and return to her small courtyard alone. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanyi asked her to meet Grandpa Ge and her aunt to avoid being rude.

Following Xiao Yuanyi to the side hall, Cheng Shaoshang saw Aunt Ge and Cheng Shu wiping away tears. Xiao Yuanyi sat down as if he hadn't seen them before and said hello with a smile.The two sides knelt opposite each other and exchanged a few words. When Cheng Shaoshang heard Aunt Ge's sincere teachings to Cheng Shu, he was instantly in awe of her, so he took the initiative to hand over a glass of buttermilk.But because of this, Cheng Shaoshang's behavior made Xiao Yuanyi dissatisfied, thinking that she had stolen Cheng Shu's limelight, and severely reprimanded her in private.Cheng Shaoshang couldn't understand Xiao Yuanyi's good intentions, and even felt that Cheng Shu was honest and kind in his words and deeds in the other person's heart, and he seemed to be quite calculated no matter what he did.

Cheng Shaoshang felt that Xiao Yuanyi had not favored him at all in what happened now and what happened back then, and a feeling of loneliness suddenly arose in his heart.Although Cheng Shaoshang was not born particularly smart, he could feel the coldness of his biological parents.The next day, Old Mrs. Ge left with his family. The Cheng family couldn't stay, so they had to go out as a family to see him off. They were all sent outside the city, still reluctant to leave.The scene made the people passing by stop in their tracks. Cheng Shu gave Aunt Ge a few warm words, and Grandpa Ge and Cheng Cheng also gave various instructions. This made Cheng Shaoshang beside him not sure whether he should show up or not, so he could only stand aside alone.Looking at a few people.
