Cheng FengTai went home at noon that day. He wanted to avoid the mistress because of his guilt conscience about not returning all night, he secretly found house clothes and secretly hid in the wing to change outfit. It also happened to be that Er Nai Nai took the children to rest. But for people in the Cheng Family, it is difficult to be evasive.
As soon as Cheng FengTai dropped his clothes in his forefoot, Gui Hua, the maid was waiting behind with water for him to wash his face. She saw him covered with the bruises all over his body. He covered it up and quickly pushed away the water for her to bring it out.
Gui Hua was clever enough, without raising her eyebrows or eyes put down the basin and exited. When her mistress woke up, she reported it to her saying that she saw very clear tooth marks and blue bruises. His clothes were disarranged too, like someone "came out from a nightmare".
Er Nai Nai, after listening became terrified. She was both distressed and angry, didn't comb her head and suddenly stood up to see what happened. After thinking about it, she should first sit down and interrogate the maid. Cheng FengTai was never a person who would hit someone. When she first met him, Cheng FengTai couldn't even mutter a single bad word.
Later, after going outside the mountain pass for the defective goods, he learned to curse a few people, but he is such a delicate young man! But to fight?! A few years after coming to Beiping, he already fought back twice! Who could possibly fight and chew on someone?! It's none other than Shang XiRui!
*******
Er Nai Nai became suspicious when she got in touch with the said event and called Fan Lian first to listen to his voice. She is a very scheming woman. As soon as the phone was connected, she started cursing: "Yesterday, you went out with your brother-in-law. I left him under your care. He is someone with an empty frame and can't fight with others. Did you die? You let him alone and be violated by that lowly thing?"
Such a statement, although not pointed out, seems to already know who the perpetrator is. Fan Lian was dumbfounded, wondering if Shang XiRui and Cheng FengTai was caught up in a fight after leaving yesterday? He hurriedly asked Cheng FengTai what was wrong and asked him to listen to the phone.
Er Nai Nai took a handkerchief and wiped the tip of her nose and sniffled. It seemed like she was crying from the other side: "You and your brother-in-law don't have to beguile me. Who were the people in that event. I already have an idea! You are my own brother, when things befall and you always help outsiders to lie to your own sister? What benefits do you get from other people?"
Fan Lian hurriedly said over: "Big Sister, don't be angry. Am I not afraid to make you worry? Who knows that brother-in-law is really hurt."
Er Nai Nai said sharply: "How could you not know! Are you telling me you weren't there? Didn't you see?"
Fan Lian said: "That time, there were so many people and was chaotic. My brother-in-law rushed forward then took Shang Lao Ban and left! At that time I saw Shang Lao Ban was suppressed by him, so I didn't..."
Er Nai Nai didn't wait for him to finish, she was so angry that she slammed the phone and went to find Cheng FengTai.
******
Cheng FengTai and Cha Cha Er were eating fruits in the living room. Cheng FengTai gestured to Cha Cha Er's stature and calculated how much she had grown taller. When he saw Er Nai Nai, he smiled and said: "Er Nai Nai is awake." He sighed: "Our Cha Cha Er has become a young lady, in the future, you can't be cuddly with big brother anymore!"
Cha Cha Er bit a red fruit, curled her mouth at her brother and sister-in-law and turned his head, flicked her braid and walked away. She didn't mean to get cuddly with his brother at all. Her brother was very affectionate. Er Nai Nai sat down with a smile, and spoke a few familiar things to Cheng FengTai and then said: "How was the event yesterday? Were you able to manage it smoothly?"
Cheng FengTai patted his thighs and boasted to Er Nai Nai . He said that the scene was grand and Director Sun was very pleased, but he never mentioned Shang XiRui Shuiyun Tower. He voluntarily explained: "It has been three days after singing, I'm afraid that when I came back itt will create trouble for you to sleep, I made do with Fan Lian for the night."
Er Nai Nai looked at his cover, in her heart she gritted and nodded and smiled very well on the surface. Then she said: "Well that's good. I will keep Lao Ge's tunic for you. Maybe in the future when there is an event, it'll come in handy."
Cheng FengTai thought of something he didn't want to but let out: "I won't do this tedious task for the second time! Once is enough! I can't deal with the singers! They're not human!"
He then lied and said: "Clothes. I got rid of at Fan Lian's place, sweat all over! I don't need it anymore!"
******
Er Nai Nai look at him from the side and didn't expose him, thinking that he wants to give an original story and covered his body well from morning to night not exposing a single thing! This makes it impossible for people to ask and in the first place they couldn't even ask. Everyone can't get off of this encounter! She was sulking in her heart when Cheng MeiXin arrived.
The Cao family is not well-educated, so a celebrity who is good at calligraphy is specially invited to write a wedding invitation. Celebrities are poor at the same time noble and Mrs. Cao came in person, reluctant do this business. Cheng MeiXin was holding a box of invitations, when she saw Cheng FengTai, she smiled and said: "Yo! Second brother! You were very happy when you left yesterday. I ended up very busy supporting you. You don't know what tiresome process it gave me."
Cheng FengTai was afraid that she would say something that shouldn't be said and he spoke a little more, asking about the wedding. Cheng MeiXin complained: "Don't mention it! Needless to talk about the commander. Our eldest son claimed to be rushing back to have a wedding wine, and he kept complaining about his younger sister. As a result, As soon as he came to Beiping, he bustled his way with a few officials. I don't know what I'm being busy of all day long, I can't count on him at all! It all fell into hands!"
She took a mouthful of tea, got up to find two wedding invitations with gold and red and said: "I wouldn't send an invitation to Fan Lian's side anymore. I can't divide my body. My own family doesn't pay attention to it. If you meet him another day, you can give it to him for me!"
Er Nai Nai also got up and smiled: "Big sister come with me, I have a whole piece of three-color gold material, you check if the third young miss would be delighted to use it or not."
This allowed Cheng MeiXin to follow her and Cheng FengTai to be on hold. She led Cheng MeiXin to the backyard wing alone. As soon as she entered the house, she closed the door and asked Cheng MeiXin seriously: "Big sister, what happened at the event yesterday? The injury on ErYe's body, is it caused by Shang Xirui?"
Cheng MeiXin was dumbfounded and asked: "Second brother is injured? How bad is it?"
Er Nai Nai said angrily: "Gui Hua saw it, she can't be wrong! She said that he was covered with green and blue marks! He was still holding back and pretending to be naive! I didn't rip his facade apart and he spoke of any truth!"
Cheng MeiXin took her hand and patted and said sincerely: "You don't need ask about this, I'm going to tell you."
Then the two people sat on their knees and Cheng MeiXin told her that Shang XiRui beat Chang ZhiXin in public. Cao Da Gong Zi persuaded him to fight and was also attacked by Shang XiRui. That tone of her voice, it was like seeing a ghost, that sent shivers to Er Nai Nai.
In fact, Cheng MeiXin was sitting in the front row, not fully aware of what happened behind her. Why did Shang XiRui hit Chang ZhiXin? Whoever wins or loses between Cao GuiXiu and Shang XiRui, she took it for granted. She just wanted to defame Shang XiRui: "Then second brother dragged him away while he was still showing his teeth and claws! To say that second brother has injuries, I think he got it during that time."
Er Nai Nai thought that Shang XiRui was purely a concubine wife who was kept outside. She was good at all kinds of tricks to seduce men and skillfully charm the foxes and monsters to victory. However, he actually dared to get angry and got his hands on his host. It was really self-defeating, unimaginable, and horrified: "How dare he beat Er Ye?"
Cheng MeiXin smiled: "Hai Yo! He even dared to fight with our eldest son! Our eldest son is skilled in Kong Fu!"
She suddenly changed her expression and said bitterly:"He is crazy! Don't you know, when he first came to the commander's side, he was disorderly and foolish. Sometimes he didn't recognize people after waking up and just said something strange. It really scares people! I'm afraid he might get sick and will hurt the children. So, I asked a doctor to see him and prescribe some medicine. He didn't appreciate it! I wasn't mocking him! Him! I was just driven crazy by Jiang Meng Ping as it happened from time to time!"
Er Nai Nai couldn't figure it out even more: "Er Ye fancy him, isn't he possessed?"
******
Compared with Er Nai Nai who always regarded her husband as a lewd nonchalant person, a man driven by lust without thinking. Cheng MeiXin has a deeper understanding of her younger brother. She knew very well that Cheng FengTai's dealing with Shang XiRui was not a simple matter of trading fortune and sex.
She hesitated and finally told Er Nai Nai what had happened in Cao's residence that day: "... afterwards, as I listened outside the door, Cheng FengTai and the commander had a match saying... saying that Shang XiRui was his person, and no one would be allowed to touch him in the future. The commander was so angry that he pointed a gun at him, he was quite stubborn and did not change his words, as if he had a sincere heart."
Er Nai nai was taken aback. Cheng MeiXin leaned over and whispered: "So last time I was busy persuading you to pay attention and control the hands and feet of the second younger brother. You recently talked to him about Zhao YuanZhen, why would he want it? It would have been better when you said it in the past. The old is not as good as the new. Of course, if younger brother is only playing with him, I wouldn't be anxious from the beginning. I'm afraid that he'll get serious with him and be stained by him and make trouble. You forgot how Zhang DaShuai died?"
When she was talking, Er Nai Nai was completely confused. Speaking of it, if you haven't known Cheng FengTai when he was young, there was a story of jealousy. Now, talking about Shang XiRui, it is mostly worrisome and fearful that Cheng FengTai has gone bad! Walking into the tre trap of bad people!
If talking about bringing Zhao YuanZhen into the family doesn't work, she will be completely helpless. Keeping Cheng FengTai at home is not a long-term solution; forcing him to break up with Shang XiRui, with Cheng FengTai's slickness, he will definitely have spoken well of what he will do and going to do after leaving the house.
Anyway, she just can't control him, there is absolutely no way to hold onto him! The mistress was confused and said angrily: "He has a sincere heart for an evildoer, what can I do? This time I did really control him? But it all depended on his conscience!"
Cheng MeiXin immediately said: "Second younger brother's heart is good!"
But looking at the man's heart, isn't reliable. Cheng MeiXin couldn't think a perpetal solution once and for all. Cutting the grass and pulling out the roots is one good idea. She could only repeatedly say that the most important way to stand as their wives: "The house' book of accounts, did you obtain any important information?"
Er Nai Nai nodded her haid.
Cheng MeiXin said: "I told you earlier that you must take care of second brother's funds. You must be more mindful whenever large sums of money comes in and out. Call first the person before paying him some money. Younger brother is stupid while Shang XiRui isn't. What did Shang Xirui seek in him? Does this mean that Shang XiRui seeked him as he was a gigolo? Isn't it because of money! Being controlled by money! You will see, if you don't force them to separate after three to five months. Shang XiRui will propose to break up! How many people are waiting to spend a lot of money for him! Shang XiRui can hold onto them, do you think he plays with my younger brother only? My younger brother won't even give him up to the commander. Let alone give someone else a bite? You'll see, iwhen the time comes, everything will fall apart."
Er Nai Nai had no other choice. That afternoon, she called Cha Cha Er to assist her in checking the accounts and stubs, but nothing suspicious was found. Thinking about the little cash in Cheng FengTai's hand, it must not be enough to hold someone famous as Shang XiRui. Holding onto Cheng FengTai's money is equivalent to holding him down.
******
Cheng FengTai and Shang XiRui have a good relationship. Whoever saw it would say that too much money is spent as he bought someone very famous for romance. Only they themselves know that they are not like that. Aside from themselves, only Xiao Lai knows.
Xiao Lai is in charge of all of Shang XiRui's deposits, jewelry and other assets. Whoever adds something, Xiao Lai remembers better than Shang XiRui. Shang Xirui only needs Cheng FengTai's sincerity and doesn't care about anything else, she can feel that Shang XiRui suffers!
This Cheng Er Ye, gave two pieces of head ornaments, but never spends a lot of money on Shang XiRui. Among all the guests of Shang XiRui who entered the curtain, he is the cheapest and most shameless!
Cheng FengTai entered the store the next day and felt as comfortable as returning home. He had prepared a set of daily necessities such as slippers and towels at Shang XiRui's place. After entering the door, he changed shoes and changed clothes and wiped his face. There is no need to ask anybody. He took the chopsticks and helped himself with some food.
This situation with Shang XiRui is like that of a husband and wife. He called Xiao Lai plenty of times but she didn't even bat an eye. Shang XiRui didn't think that he was being taken advantage of. He only felt that his intimacy with Cheng FengTai feels very warm and comfortable.
