Cheng Chi was very annoyed when he heard this.
Since he wanted to stand up for Shao Jin, what were he doing when Shao Jin was suspected and questioned in the cave? Now Cheng Xu was diagnosed with taking something like Wu Shi San, but he jumped out and said that he wanted to investigate the right and wrong of the two - Cheng Xu was not conscious, even if he was wrong, it was unintentional!
Then Shaojin’s grievances would have been in vain!
No wonder the Fourth House is still in this situation even though the First House has been secretly supporting the Fourth House for so many years. It seems that it is mainly because Cheng Mian’s brain is not very good!
For the first time, Cheng Chi felt that his identity as an "uncle" was very troublesome!
But he was too lazy to say anything more to Cheng Mian.
Cheng Lu persuaded his mother, Mrs. Dong, to pretend to be ill and sell the family property in order to get involved in academic affairs, but he had nowhere to turn to. Just when he was in a desperate situation, Cheng Gao got married. He not only attended Cheng Gao's wedding but also attended the family recognition banquet of Cheng Gao and his wife. He knew something was going to happen, so he sent Huaishan to keep an eye on Cheng Xu, and he never let Cheng Lu out of his sight. When he heard that Cheng Shi and Cheng Zheng were drinking with Cheng Xu, he was sure that what Shao Jin said would happen.
He thought that if Shao Jin saw through those tricks, he would most likely avoid them; if he didn't see through them, with Huaishan following Cheng Xu, he would never let Shao Jin suffer the pain of his previous life again, and would even take the opportunity to talk it out and make Cheng Xu give up.
Unexpectedly, although Shao Jin saw through those tricks, he did not dodge, but quietly called Ji Ying and beat Cheng Xu up.
Seeing such a strong Shao Jin, he inexplicably felt a surge of pride in his heart!
Especially when she refuted Mrs. Yuan, the hint of pride in her brows made her look bright.
Shao Jin like this has a different kind of beauty!
He didn't want anything that could cause scandal to be associated with her.
Cheng Chi made a decision immediately.
Let Shao Jin leave this place of trouble first.
Let’s talk about the future after Cheng Xu wakes up.
Moreover, from the look on Cheng Xu's face, he could tell that he had taken hallucinogens, which also resolved his doubts - no matter how confused Cheng Xu was, it was impossible for him to do something immoral after drinking, there must be another story behind this.
But he was afraid of making the little girl sad, so he simply didn't ask.
That's why he followed everyone slowly, wanting to know what was going on.
Now it seems that this matter has been planned for a long time and many people are involved in it.
Cheng Chi's eyes gradually turned cold.
Since no one takes the little girl seriously, let him support her.
Not only would he make a fuss about this matter as they wished, but he would also make it a big deal, making those who looked down on the little girl lose face!
Cheng Chi thought about it, and his expression became more gentle. He said, "Brother Mian's words reminded me. However, we don't know what happened. But I can promise you that if Jiashan is wrong in this matter, our eldest house will never cover up for him. I will also personally apologize to Lord Zhou and will not let the second lady of the Zhou family suffer any injustice."
But what if this was Shaojin’s fault
Cheng Mian suddenly came to his senses.
Cheng Xu was diagnosed with taking something similar to Wu Shi San, and then was beaten into this state. Even if he had behaved disrespectfully before, could Zhou Zhen still hold him accountable
He regretted it deeply and wanted to make amends for what he had just said, but Cheng Chi changed the subject and said to everyone, "Brother Mian's words reminded me. Since we all think that Jiashan accidentally ingested something similar to Wu Shi San, people outside may not know and believe it. I think this matter cannot be dealt with so hastily, and we should investigate it thoroughly!"
Cheng Lu praised loudly, "This should have been done long ago! If we let it go for the sake of face, those who do evil will only think that what they have done will not be discovered, and they will condone evil and cause disaster. It is better to get to the bottom of the matter. Everyone has been ignorant when they were young, so they should correct their mistakes!"
In his opinion, Cheng Xu was most likely instigated by someone and secretly took the medicine, and then accidentally ran into Zhou Shaojin... The reason why Cheng Chi remained silent was because he was afraid that others would know that Cheng Xu had taken the medicine.
After he finished speaking, he asked Cheng Yi, "Brother Yi, what do you think?"
Cheng Yi was so angry that his mouth almost twisted.
This nerd never speaks like a human being.
It’s “ok”!
Let's continue investigating this matter. Your son used your daughter's maid to lure Zhou Shaojin into the cave. Do you think the third room can clear itself of all charges
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Cheng Lu has no idea what happened
This is very interesting!
Just check it out!
He had already arranged for the drugging, and no one would ever find out.
However, it was confirmed that Cheng Zheng led people to the cave.
It's a good opportunity to teach Cheng Zheng a lesson.
He put his son on the stove and thought he could get away with it. No way!
Cheng Yi was overjoyed, but he said solemnly, "I think what my cousin Mian said makes sense. Let's investigate it thoroughly! It will clear Jiashan's name. I always think Jiashan would never do anything against the etiquette of a gentleman. Others may not know that Youyi and Jiashan have lived in Xinglin Hutong for almost two years, but I still don't know!"
Cheng Wen saw that everyone agreed. If he disagreed, he would not be able to change the result and might even make Cheng Chi suspicious. Before Cheng Chi could make any move, he said hastily, "I think we should investigate this as well."
In his heart, he began to think about finding an opportunity to ask his servant to go back and sprinkle all the hallucinogenic drugs he had hidden into the lake to eliminate them.
Cheng Zheng was extremely angry.
He had never seen anyone more deceiving than his father.
If he continues to investigate like this, even if he can explain clearly why he ordered Cuihuan to go that road, it will still make the eldest son suspicious. He doesn't know how many years it will take for him to eliminate the suspicion!
Thinking about Cheng Zheng makes me feel tired.
I should talk to my mother and try to get my father to live somewhere else for a few years.
He really couldn't bear it if this continued.
Cheng Zheng glanced at Cheng Lu.
This guy has cleared himself of all blame.
He glanced at Cheng Shi again.
Cheng Shi looked calm and thought his father's plan was a good one.
The third room needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise they will hold back the second room in the future.
However, should we drag Cheng Lu into this as well
At first, he felt that this was a rare opportunity, so he pretended not to know Cheng Lu's intentions.
But after you give him the gun, you want to sit back and watch the fire. How can such an easy thing happen in this world
Cheng Shi was thinking about how to start the conversation without getting himself involved and yet still dragging Cheng Lu into the conversation, when Cheng Chi suddenly called out his courtesy name, "Youyi, the scream of Nuoge's daughter-in-law just now not only alarmed us, but the maids in the family are probably also worried. Since Jiashan has been diagnosed as having accidentally ingested hallucinogens, the maids in the family have to comfort him to avoid rumors and gossip that something happened to Nuoge's wife. You are the eldest brother in the family, and you have been out there for some time, so I'll leave this matter to you."
Let him clean up Cheng Jiashan’s mess!
Cheng Shi could hardly hide his astonishment.
Why would Uncle Chi entrust this matter to him
Did he see something? Was he testing him? Or was he just being overly suspicious? Uncle Chi only asked him to do this because he was the oldest among the brothers...
He was also a member of Jiuru Lane, and had a room in the inner courtyard, but when he went out, others only treated him as a family. He had no intention of making the matter known to everyone, so when he designed Cheng Xu, he chose the time after the family recognition banquet after all the guests who attended the wedding banquet had left, and he just wanted Cheng Xu to say some frivolous words or do some frivolous actions to Zhou Shaojin when he was confused, to scare Zhou Shaojin, and when they arrived, Zhou Shaojin would either accuse Cheng Xu or cry quietly. Unexpectedly, the development of the matter was completely beyond his imagination.
Zhou Shaojin was not scared, but Cheng Xu was beaten up.
Then Zhou Shaojin returned to Hanbi Villa with seemingly no qualms, and tidied up the green gauze cabinet for Cheng Xu.
If he hadn't received accurate information that the Cheng and Min families were about to propose marriage, he would have thought that the person Cheng and Xu were going to marry was Zhou Shaojin... Wait, after beating Cheng Xu, Zhou Shaojin was still so calm, especially why was Uncle Chi's personal maid standing next to her... Was this all arranged by Uncle Chi
But why did Uncle Chi do this
He had not considered this matter carefully enough. He should have asked his grandmother to come over so that he could test Zhou Shaojin's attitude.
Now that Zhou Shaojin has returned to Hanbi Villa, doesn't that mean she can just say whatever Madam Guo and Madam Yuan ask her to
Cheng Shi didn't have time to think about these things carefully.
It seems that we can only take one step at a time!
He could only say "yes".
Cheng Chi nodded with satisfaction and instructed Cheng Zheng: "You are my second cousin. People in Jinling City praise you for being mature, gentle and polite. I believe you are also a methodical person. Where did the hallucinogen in the wine come from? I'll leave this matter to you to investigate!"
Cheng Zheng responded with "yes", but his heart was filled with turmoil.
Let him check Cheng Shi!
Did Uncle Chi do it intentionally or unintentionally
What if I can’t find it
Will Uncle Chi think that he was the one who framed Cheng Xu
Thinking of Cheng Shi’s straightforwardness just now, Cheng Zheng dared not refuse.
Cheng Shi's emotionless face cracked for a moment.
What is going on
The two of them didn't even dare to exchange glances and lowered their heads.
Then Cheng Chi said to Cheng Wen, "As for Nuo'er's wife, I can only trouble Brother Wen Cong. There are some things I can't ask. You can ask her to come to Hanbi Mountain House later. I have something to ask her."
Cheng Wen was eager to do so.
In this way, he could take the opportunity to ask his personal servant to dispose of the hallucinogenic drugs.
Seeing Cheng Wen agreed, Cheng Chi called the maid who was serving tea and said, "Call Dasu and Huanxi who are by the master's side."
The maid responded and left.
Zhou Shaojin and Jiying were sitting in the tea room drinking tea.
When Biyu told her that Cheng Xu had taken something like Wu Shi San, she was stunned for a long time.
If this is really the case, then isn't it ridiculous that she has been feeling depressed for so many years
But in her heart, she felt that Biyu had not lied to her and Dr. Zhou had not misdiagnosed her.
She drank her tea in silence.
Ji Ying grumbled, "Shao Jin, I didn't expect he was drugged. Tell me, did I hit him too hard? I don't know if the Fourth Master will come to settle the score later. Shao Jin, I'll just stay in Fu Cui tonight. If the Fourth Master asks, just say he was scared and dragged me over to keep you company!"
