Episode 10: Xiao Yuanyi is furious that mother and daughter are separated

Ling Buyi led the black-armored guards to surround Prince Yong’s Mansion, sealing the front and back doors. He bluntly said that he heard that someone was making trouble in the mansion tonight, so he brought the black-armored guards to help him capture the thieves. Xiao Shizi suppressed his anger and allowed Ling Buji to search the whole house. After finding no results, he breathed a sigh of relief and realized that the other party was suspicious of him.

On the day of the old lady’s birthday, the palace was decorated with brocades and decorations, guests were rubbing shoulders, and there were many people coming and going. Wan Songbai and his wife and daughter stood at the main entrance to welcome guests. He smiled brightly, but he walked with a slight limp, which was obviously due to an unrecovered hip injury. Cheng Shaoshang also came with his whole family to congratulate him. After some greetings and salutes, the man and the women sat in separate halls, while the elders raised their glasses in the main hall.

On the way to the back garden, Cheng Shaoshang deliberately found an excuse and then demolished the wooden pillars at the bottom of the bridge. Since the biggest two couldn’t get into a fight today, the little girls were eating and drinking in the garden, having a great time, until the last group of noble ladies in gorgeous clothes arrived belatedly, and the atmosphere in the garden changed again.

Lou Yao saw the mysterious interactions between his sister and Wang Yao, and originally wanted to take her away, but he didn’t know that Wang Yao was mocking him about breaking off his engagement with He Zhaojun. As Lou Yao was defeated, Wang Yao became more mean and aggressive when he saw this. Cheng Shaoshang stepped forward to fight against him and protect Lou Yao’s face.

Wang Jiao’s face turned green and red after hearing this, and she wanted to continue to refute, but Princess Yuchang hurriedly smoothed things over. Cheng Shaoshang still did not stop. On the surface, he praised the princess for being dignified and polite, but in fact, he was insinuating that Wang Jiao did not follow the princess well. Just when Wang Jiao was getting angry from embarrassment, Cheng Shaoshang turned around and raised his hand to wave it away. She was so frightened that she recalled her previous painful experience and was instantly discouraged.

At the same time, many children from aristocratic families were playing pot games, and Ling Buyi took the initiative to invite Yuan Shen and others to enjoy the flowers with him. Cheng Shaoshang saw Ling Buyi’s look and deliberately led the girls to the window. In order to get close to Ling Buyi, Princess Yuchang led everyone to the wooden bridge without paying any attention to the warning signs.

Wan Songbai realized that something was wrong and was about to stop him, but it was too late. Due to the strain, the bridge suddenly collapsed, the girls fell into the water one after another, and the scene was chaotic. Princess Yuchang always stole the show, and today’s humiliation made her burst into tears. Wan Qiqi lay down behind the fake rocks and laughed non-stop. Cheng Shaoshang was the only one who did not participate, and ended happily.

After the birthday banquet was over, Mrs. Wan and Wan Songbai talked in detail about what happened during the day. In fact, she knew that this wooden bridge had a reputation. It was built by the Gongshu Ban doctor to help the king of Chu. Its scientific name was “Die”. “Bone Bridge”, not many people know it now. At first glance, it is a light and strong bridge. Just remove a few pieces of wood, and when someone steps on it, the whole bridge will collapse instantly.

Although Mrs. Wanlao greatly appreciated Cheng Shaoshang’s determination to retaliate, she still had to write a letter to inform Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi that as parents, they should be aware of their daughter’s conduct. On the other hand, although Cheng Shaoshang is extremely intelligent, experienced and shrewd, and does everything right, there are two things about her that make Mrs. Wanlao feel inappropriate. One is that she is conceited and smart, and the other is that she is self-righteous and refuses to admit even if she is wrong.

Just as Mrs. Wanlao said, Xiao Yuanyi mobilized a group of martial maids and ordered Qingyuan to bring Cheng Shaoshang to Jiuzhuitang. At first, Cheng Shi and his third uncle and his wife agreed to hide in the yard and break the cup as a sign before going in to plead for mercy, so as to prevent their daughter from suffering physical pain. However, Cheng Shaoshang would rather accept military punishment than bow to Xiao Yuanyi. Xiao Yuanyi couldn’t bear to watch Cheng Shaoshang being punished, so she had to turn her back.

Seeing the other maidservants guarding the door, Cheng always noticed something and immediately rushed over with his third uncle and his wife. Sure enough, he saw that Cheng Shaoshang was dying. Cheng Zhi usually respected his eldest sister-in-law, but he never expected that she would be cruel to his own daughter. Xiao Yuanyi felt aggrieved and out of anger asked Cheng Zhi to take Cheng Shaoshang away when he took office in Hua County. Cheng Shaoshang endured the drama. Pain comforted her third uncle and aunt, and was willing to follow them out of the Cheng family.

As the saying goes, “Hitting your son’s body hurts your mother’s heart.” Xiao Yuanyi also felt uncomfortable. She knelt down by the door and looked in the direction of Cheng Shaoshang’s yard. When Wan Qiqi learned that Cheng Shaoshang had been punished, she hurriedly came to visit and was curious about who was the whistleblower. Cheng Shaoshang immediately thought of Ling Buyi. After all, he was the only one who knew a lot about this bridge. Ling Buyi happened to send someone to bring medicine, but Cheng Shaoshang threw it out the door.

Since the last time the Black Armored Guards raided Prince Yong’s Mansion, Prince Xiao has not left the house for many days. Ling Buyi believed that the people behind the scenes would never give up the opportunity of the Holy Western Patrol, so he asked his subordinates to make arrangements and send more people to keep an eye on him. It is necessary to find the real mastermind as soon as possible with minimal sacrifice.

After a day’s rest, Cheng Shaoshang was about to set off with Cheng Zhi and Sang Shunhua. When everyone saw them off, the sky was overcast, windless and snowless, but Xiao Yuanyi was absent without any excuse. Cheng Shaoshang pretended to be calm and calm on the surface, but he couldn’t help but look into the palace. He didn’t see Xiao Yuanyi until he got on the carriage.

However, Cheng Shaoshang had no idea that Xiao Yuanyi had witnessed the whole process not far away, looking at his daughter with eyes full of reluctance. In order to protect Cheng Shaoshang, Xiao Yuanyi also asked her maidservants to accompany her for protection. She didn’t want to be a good wife and mother, but the capital city was turbulent, and her life would be lost if she was not careful. At this time, the driver’s shouts came from the opposite side again, and the Cheng family guards followed closely behind, and the convoy slowly drove out of the city.
