Cheng Yujin was too surprised, and stood up in a hurry and fast. Fortunately, other people's reactions were similar to her. Cheng Yujin didn't care about Mrs. Cheng and others, and immediately walked towards Cheng Yuanjing. When she really got close, her expression was hesitant again: "My little girl greets Ninth Uncle. Ninth Uncle, why are you here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Du Ruo behind Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yujin blinked, and she figured it out in a moment.

Seeing that she already understood, Cheng Yuanjing nodded and didn't say much: "I met your maid on the way, and I just have something to clarify, so let's take a look."

As soon as Cheng Yujin heard this, Du Ruo followed her suggestion to find the Lord of Qingfu County, but the Lord of Qingfu County refused to swim in the murky water. Du Ruo had no choice but to go to Cheng Yuanjing for help.

Cheng Yujin winked at Du Ruo again and again. She had words of suffering, so she could only apologize to Cheng Yuanjing embarrassingly and tactfully: "Ninth uncle, it's just a trivial matter to disturb you. The little girl is really guilty."

Cheng Yujin was really embarrassed, she didn't expect Du Ruo to go to Cheng Yuanjing. This kind of thing was actually known to the prince, and Cheng Yujin didn't know whether to blame Du Ruo or blame herself. In fact, I can't blame Du Ruo. Cheng Yujin knew who Cheng Yuanjing was, and didn't dare to offend or neglect, so she could only be careful to please him everywhere, but Du Ruo didn't know, she only knew that her girl was very close to Ninth Uncle and often ran to Cheng Yuanjing. Thinking like this, it's no wonder that Du Ruo would go to Cheng Yuanjing to try his luck.

The worst thing is, I still encountered it. Cheng Yujin was embarrassed and puzzled. Du Ruo didn't understand that the situation was excusable. Does Cheng Yuanjing still not understand? He is a dignified prince, and sooner or later he will leave the Cheng family, so what does he do with these frivolous daughters and family members?

"It doesn't matter." Cheng Yuanjing didn't seem to care, he said, "It's not just for you, I also have something to say. It happens that everyone is here with Mrs. Hou today, so let's make it clear together."

Mrs. Cheng also stood up with the help of the maid. When she saw Cheng Yuanjing, she thought of Xiao Xue's family. It was difficult to give a good face, but her tone of speech was very polite, which was completely different from Cheng Yujin and Ruan's family: "Jiulang ,How did you come?"

Cheng Yuanjing said, "It's for some trivial matters." Cheng Yuanjing finished speaking, paused, and then continued to say calmly: "I thought that in front of the old man that day, many things were made clear. Now it seems that Mrs. Hou Others don't understand."

The expressions of Mrs. Cheng and Mrs Ruan suddenly stiffened.

"The old marquis said that day that the elders are orderly, and all juniors, regardless of gender, are treated equally. Although Cheng Yujin canceled the engagement, the dowry is what she deserved, and there is no reason to transfer it to others for some inexplicable reason. That 2,000 taels means that you have accepted the arrangement of the old marquis, and now you say that the arrangement of the old marquis is not appropriate, what is the reason?"

Cheng Yuanjing's tone was flat and indifferent, but it was more frightening than aggressive and loud scolding. Ruan's expression was embarrassed, she pursed her lips, and said, "I'm also doing it for the good of the Hou Mansion. Besides, all the people present at the time were my own family, and no one else would know about it..."

"How come no one knows?" Cheng Yuanjing gave Ruan Shi a light look, "Even if no one knows, what is the second wife going to do?"

Ruan Shi seemed to have been strangled by the throat, and immediately silenced. This was the first time Cheng Yuanjing saw such an ignorant and fearless person. He didn't bother to look at Ruan's family again, and looked directly at Mrs. Cheng: "A gentleman makes a lot of promises, not to mention the last words of Lord Hou. Mrs. Hou, you are Mrs. Gao Ming, Hou Yichūn. The person in charge of the manor, could it be that Madam Hou also regards etiquette as nothing?"

Cheng Yuanjing obviously ignored Ruan, but Ruan's face immediately flushed with shame. Mrs. Cheng has seen many scenes, and she doesn't know how the shy son in front of her has such a powerful aura, but she still managed to hold her face, paused for a while, and said slowly: "Of course not. As long as it is Hou No matter if anyone knows about your grandfather's words, Lao Shen will do everything he can for the Marquis, but he will make his wish. Before he died, he made arrangements for his two granddaughters, and Lao Shen has nothing else to say."

Cheng Yujin blinked and looked at the scene in front of her. She had spent so much thought before, even making threats to show softness, but Mrs. Cheng refused to let go. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yuanjing only said two words, and Mrs. Cheng admitted it positively.

Cheng Yujin originally planned to act by chance, but now she found that Cheng Yuanjing arranged everything in an orderly manner, and she didn't need to do anything at all. This was the first time in her cognition, the only time in her life that she didn't need to worry about anything, and she didn't need to do anything. Naturally, someone would stand up for her.

Cheng Yujin couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she sighed faintly, it seemed that she owed Cheng Yuanjing again.

"That's good." Cheng Yuanjing said, "Since it's said, let's make it clear at one time, and invite the prince and the eldest wife to come."

Cheng Yujin frowned and said softly, "Ninth uncle, my mother can't get away from something, so I'm afraid she won't be able to come over."

"Please use my name." Cheng Yuanjing didn't care at all, and said, "There are two girls, please also come over."

Cheng Yujin watched helplessly as the Qingfu County Lord, who was so busy just now, who refused to come to Old Madam Cheng's courtyard, quickly appeared, and everyone in the second room also gathered.
