Chapter 179 Selling out Dashi
Chapter 179 Selling out Dashi
"Shut up!"
Da was frightened again by Deputy General Cheng's loud shout, and her whole body trembled. She pursed her lips and wiped away her tears. She touched the wounds on her face several times, but did not dare to cry out in pain.
Cheng Kang suffered internal injuries yesterday and his chest still hurts. He thought that I would vent his anger when I came back, but he never imagined that this would happen.
Cheng Hua's face had turned pale with fright. She bit her lower lip and tears fell down her face. She was worried that her father had really killed their mother, and that she and her brother would become motherless children in the future. How would they live their lives?
Seeing that her son was getting angry, Old Lady Cheng was really afraid that he would kill Da with a knife, so she had to stand in front of him.
"Yizhong, put down the knife! Do you really want to kill the mother of your child?"
Deputy General Cheng sneered at my mother and said, "Mom, don't think I know what you are planning."
Upon hearing this, Madam Cheng felt guilty again, but she straightened her attitude and said, "What can I think about? It's all for your future. Jin'er has a serious illness. If it's not cured, it will hinder your future."
"Future?!" Deputy General Cheng sneered, interrupting my mother. "Even now, you're still stubborn and refuse to change your ways. Is Jin'er suffering from a sinister illness? Others may not know, but how could you possibly know?"
Madam Cheng: ...
"Do you think that without Liang Shi and Jing'er, our Cheng family will still be in the same situation as it is now? If the rebels win in the future, our Cheng family will still prosper."
Old Madam Cheng was guessed at what she was thinking, and she stiffened her neck again, feeling that her guess was not wrong.
Cheng Yizhong really didn't want to laugh at his mother's short-sightedness: "Also, you tried every possible means to squeeze out the eldest lady for Da. Do you really think that without Liang, I would support a concubine?!"
This time, Madam Cheng refused to admit it and turned her face away.
Da lowered his eyes guiltily, crying miserably, with an expression as if he had died unjustly.
"You talk about your son's future every day, and you care about the Cheng family's reputation. All of this is closely related to the uprising! But have you ever thought about who the uprising is following?"
Old Madam Cheng was speechless and choked with emotion.
It can be seen that she is not unaware of the key points!
"As you said, if my son has a bright future, he will definitely be the rebel army leading the world. Then who will be the emperor?"
When Mrs. Da saw the man in charge yelling at her mother-in-law, she was so scared that she shrank her neck and dared not look at her directly.
"Mother, you should know that Liang is the sister of the late queen and the elder sister of General Liang. Just based on this status, our Cheng family should treat the eldest lady better. Yet, you are scheming so much for a concubine?"
Ding~
Old Lady Cheng's knees went weak. Although she was not afraid of Liang's status now, if Liang was really related to the royal family in the future and settled the old score with her, she was afraid that even her son would not be able to save her life.
If I had known this earlier, I would have killed Liang quickly yesterday so that there would be no evidence against her. But Jiang happened to show up in the middle of the process.
That’s right, even now, Old Madam Cheng still doesn’t think there is anything wrong with what she did.
She needs to consider her natal family. Only by supporting her niece to become the mistress of the Cheng family can she help her brothers in the future.
Deputy General Cheng noticed the gloom in my mother's eyes. He felt helpless and completely gave up.
He weakly lowered his knife-wielding hand and chuckled coldly, "Well, since you still can't figure it out, then go to the manor and reflect on yourself."
"What?" Mrs. Cheng, who had come to her senses, was shocked.
She almost thought she had heard it wrong. Her son actually wanted to send her to a village. What village? Which village?
Even Da's eyes widened in disbelief, "Master~"
"You are not worthy to be a wife of my Cheng family." After saying this, Deputy General Cheng ordered in a cold voice: "Come here!"
"Yes!" Several confidants immediately welcomed him into the hall.
"Send Da out of the house."
As soon as Deputy General Cheng finished speaking, Old Madam Cheng immediately straightened up and stood in front of him: "Who dares!"
Mrs. Da was completely shocked. What did she hear? Was the master going to sell her?
How is this possible? How is this possible?
Cheng Hua was shocked when she saw this. She bravely stepped forward and knelt before Cheng Yizhong, begging for mercy on her mother's behalf: "Daddy, please don't sell my mother. Hua Jie'er can't live without her."
Cheng Kang came to his senses and knelt down with him. "Dad, please don't sell our mother. Even if you are angry, please forgive her this time for the many years she has served you and for giving birth to a son."
Seeing this, Da knelt down and begged, "Master, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I will never do it again."
Deputy General Cheng didn't even bother to look at the three of them, mother and son. Instead, he glared at my mother with cold eyes: "She's just a concubine, a maid. Why can't I sell her?"
"If I say no, it means no. If you dare to sell one, you're being disobedient." Old Madam Cheng was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she angrily accused Lieutenant General Cheng of being unfilial.
Deputy General Cheng didn't want to waste any more time arguing: "Can't you hear me?"
Upon hearing this, the confidant behind him immediately accepted the order: "Yes."
So several people stepped forward and grabbed Da from the ground, one on the left and one on the right.
Da was so frightened that she kept struggling: "No, Master, Mother, please, please, please~"
"Mother~Mother~, Daddy, please forgive me, Daddy~" Cheng Hua was so scared that he kept kowtowing.
Cheng Kang also pleaded: "Dad, how can you be so cruel!"
Cheng Yizhong found it ridiculous to be accused of being cruel by a bastard. He thought that he had always cherished this eldest son and loved him very much. But the fifteen-year-old boy didn't even know how to distinguish right from wrong.
It seems that letting the child stay with Da was the most wrong decision.
Old Madam Cheng's eyes were red with distress, and she glared at her son angrily: "You, what are you doing? You are trying to tear out my heart."
Deputy General Cheng glanced at my mother coldly: "Mom, you should worry about yourself now."
After that, he gave another order: "Come two people and sell out all the people around the old lady."
Upon hearing this, several old maids were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, please have mercy on us, please spare our lives, please have mercy on us~"
This time, the next wave of confidants who came in didn't care about these slaves. Without saying a word, they dragged these people away.
"Madam, help me, Madam~~"
Seeing the loyal servants around her being led out one by one, Old Lady Cheng became so angry that she almost fell down several times.
"You unfilial son, are you going to kill your mother?"
"Mother, how could a son kill her?" Deputy General Cheng asked meaningfully, his tone light, "I just don't want the future that Grandpa has worked so hard to build for the Cheng family, and the Cheng family that I have worked so hard to maintain, to be destroyed in an instant."
"From now on, you will go to the farm and recuperate. Your son will arrange for people to serve you."
A while ago, Deputy General Cheng took a fancy to a farm in the county below, thinking that it would be a source of income for the Cheng family in the future, and it happened to come in handy now.
