“Ah, this must be your grandfather!” Manager Sun cupped his hands. ‘Master
Cheng, nice to meet you!”
The mother of the boss was from the Cheng family, so her father must have the surname Cheng.
Zongzheng Wei smiled. “Nice to meet you.”
Aunt Fu did not come over. She was taking care of her daughter-in-law in the house.
Su Xiaoxiao just found out that Physician Fu had already married before he went to Qingzhou. He even had a child.
Later on, when something happened to Imperial Physician Fu, his wife was afraid of being implicated and ran away with the children.
It was only when Physician Fu went to visit a patient and bumped into her as a servant in that family that he acknowledged her.
Aunt Fu was angry that this daughter-in-law had taken her grandson away.
However, seeing that she had not remarried for the sake of her grandson all these years and had raised her child alone, she could not help but soften.
The family put aside their past grudges and reconciled.
Two months ago, Physician Fu’s wife was pregnant again.
She was not young anymore and the risk associated with the pregnancy was high. Aunt Fu personally took care of her at home.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Manager Sun, what about you?”
Manager Sun cleared his throat. “Ahem, soon, soon! I’ll treat you to a wedding banquet!”
Ergou’s shop was a pancake shop.
Manager Sun was the sole shopkeeper on both sides. He ran it well.
It was rare for Su Xiaoxiao to come over. The physicians of the Number One Hall wanted to ask her for medical advice.
Su Xiaoxiao was worried that she would neglect Cheng Sang.
Zongzheng Wei said warmly, “Go ahead. I’ll accompany your grandmother to the streets.”
The two of them arrived at the endless street.
Cheng Sang paused and said, “The Southern Wilderness is busy with government affairs. You… don’t have to do this.”
Zongzheng Wei smiled. “Sangsang, don’t feel burdened. I came to Great Zhou for myself. After being locked up in the dark underground for so many years, I don’t want to be trapped anywhere anymore. Isn’t the palace a cage? If I don’t come out to relax, I’m afraid I’ll go crazy.”
Cheng Sang was thinking about how to answer.
Zongzheng Wei suddenly pointed at the jewelry shop opposite and said, “Didn’t you say last time that you wanted to buy a few pieces of jewelry for Xiaoxiao and her sisters-in-law? Go take a look?”
Cheng Sang nodded slowly. “Okay.”
One of them was an emperor, and the other was the head of the first family. Their appearance and bearing far exceeded those of ordinary people.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the shop, a waiter immediately welcomed them with a smile. “Master, Madam, please come in!”
Not long after the two of them entered, two more guests came from outside.
Cheng Sang never judged people by their appearance.
However, for some reason, she felt a little unhappy the moment she saw the two of them.
The shopkeeper greeted politely, “Matriarch Chen, Madam Chen!”
“Who are they?” Cheng Sang asked the shop assistant.
Zongzheng Wei looked at Cheng Sang in surprise.
The assistant did not find it strange. He thought that the guest was curious and introduced them with a smile. “They’re Lord Chen’s mother and grandmother. Speaking of which, this Lord Chen is not simple. He comes from the same place as the new top scholar. He’s from Qingzhou and is on the two rankings this year. Not long ago, he just entered the Hanlin Academy. I heard that he was chosen by a prince’s daughter and is going to be the county consort.”
Cheng Sang asked, “Is his name Chen Haoyuan?”
The shop assistant hurriedly said, “That’s right! Madam, you’ve heard of Lord
Chen too?”
Cheng Sang looked at the smug Madam Yang and Madam Huang with a cold glint in her eyes. “Yes, I’ve heard of them.”
Zongzheng Wei stayed at the Village Head’s house for three days and asked about the grudge between the Su family and the Chen family clearly.
Weiwei’s nephew was called Chen Haoyuan. He had advanced to high school this year and stayed in the capital.
The two people in front of her were Weiwei’s adoptive mother, Madam Yang, and her sister-in-law, Madam Huang.
Weiwei was picked up by the Chen family from the roadside. At first, they planned to sell her to the broker for money.
Unexpectedly, Weiwei was too skinny. The human broker was worried that he would not be able to find a buyer and the child would die prematurely, so he did not want her.
At that time, Weiwei’s swaddling clothes were precious silk so Madam Yang’s family thought that perhaps this child had a background.
She would raised the child first. When her parents came, she would definitely be able to give the Chen family a large sum of money.
Madam Yang raised Weiwei.
At first, she was still fed well. They were afraid that their biological parents would realize that their child was not raised well and refuse to give them money.
However, after two years, no one came to ask about the child.
The Chen family felt that perhaps she had been abandoned by her parents.
After all, she was a girl. It was normal to throw a girl away.
Fortunately, Weiwei was beautiful enough. When she grew up, she would be worth a lot of money if she was sold to a rich family.
Weiwei worked hard in the Chen family. When she was four years old, she went to the fields to cut pig grass.
She could not eat her fill or wear warm clothes. Her small hands were frozen into buns in the middle of winter, and she had to go to the river to wash the clothes of the entire family.
The villagers could not stand it anymore, but every time they said something, Madam Yang would beat Weiwei up.
Later on, the villagers did not dare to say anything.
As for Madam Huang, she was not much better than Madam Yang.
She was the one who found Weiwei’s fiancé back then.
That man was a jerk. He was shameless and lecherous.
The first time he came to propose marriage, she blocked Weiwei in the backyard.
If not for Su Cheng beating that person up until the engagement was broken off and leaving the Chen family with Weiwei, who knew what kind of fire pit Weiwei would have been pushed into by the Chen family.
Zongzheng Wei looked at Cheng Sang with heartache.
Cheng Sang could not suppress her anger.
Whenever she thought of the pain her daughter had suffered all these years, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
It hurt so much!
Her Weiwei… it hurt her to death!
Madam Huang smiled and said, “Shopkeeper, take out all the new styles in your shop.”
The shopkeeper brought out a plate of expensive jewelry.
Madam Huang’s eyes lit up. She reached out and immediately retracted her hand. “Mother, choose!”
Madam Yang snorted in satisfaction and raised her hand to hold the jewelry.
Unexpectedly, before she could touch the plate, her shoulder was grabbed by a hand from behind.
Cheng Sang pulled Madam Yang up from the stool and slapped her!
Madam Yang was beaten up a few times and held the counter to stabilize herself.
She glared at Cheng Sang and was about to retaliate.
Cheng Sang picked up the jewelry plate on the table and threw it at her!
The shopkeeper’s heart skipped a beat. “Aiya, Madam, those are all precious jewelry! I’ll report you to the officials if you break them!” Zongzheng Wei calmly put down a stack of banknotes.
The shopkeeper choked.
Zongzheng Wei waved at the shop assistants holding the jewelry plates.
A few shop assistants walked over in a daze.
He put down another stack of banknotes and quietly placed a few large plates of jewelry on the counter where Cheng Sang’s hand touched.
Cheng Sang was filled with anger and only wanted to beat this old woman who had abused Weiwei to death.
She did not know what she had grabbed at all. In short, she had grabbed whatever she could!
She smashed the jewelry at Madam Yang without any order.
“Ouch! Ouch!”
Madam Yang screamed from the beating. Her face was scratched and her head was swollen.
Everyone was stunned.
Madam Huang should have stopped him, but she was so shocked by a certain man’s actions that she forgot what she was here for.
Cheng Sang threw a plate and Zongzheng Wei placed a stack of banknotes.
Toward the end, Zongzheng Wei even took out gold notes.
The face value was 100 taels of gold, which was 1,000 taels of silver each.
The shopkeeper had never seen such a rich person.
He swallowed and asked the God of Wealth, “Do… do you want more?”
Zongzheng Wei pointed at the row of golden jade on the high cabinet. “I want the heaviest. Bring them all over..”
