Volume 2 Chapter 21: A Sudden Turn of Events

  My grandmother?

  What's this Beijing accent?

  Could it be...

  "We had just arrived and met Zhou Liulang outside the door. I didn't expect that you two are relatives, so he came in with us." Liao Daifu smiled and said, "I once stayed at the Zhou's house in Beijing for many days."

  The housekeeper and others also came in, with a few awkwardness.

  Everyone at Liao's house recognized him, so when they saw him enter and exit, they didn't ask any questions. Therefore, when they saw him walk in with a young man chatting and laughing, everyone just thought he was one of his people, never thinking it was a relative from the in-laws' family!

  This week's young master is also overbearing, not even saying a word, and brazenly entering the family home! He also quietly observes the hustle and bustle of the family's inner quarters!

  The people of Cheng's family present were all somewhat embarrassed.

  The military family is indeed rough and rude.

  "Sir, are you from the old lady's household?" asked Ban Qin in a trembling voice.

  Zhou Lang looked at her and nodded slightly.

  "Great, you're here! You must be here to visit my daughter-in-law." said Ban Jin with delight.

  Zhou Lang didn't say a word and looked at Cheng Jia's master who had been ignored all along, bowing his head in respect.

  "Ji Zhoujia Liu Lang, I received a letter from my uncle and my father ordered me to come back personally." He said loudly.

  This is what the younger generation looks like, and the people of the Cheng family let out a slight sigh of relief.

  "Please speak, young master," said Mr. Cheng.

  Zhou Lang bowed again and followed the butler out in big strides.

  Ban Jin looked at his back in a daze.

  "Alright, let's just drop it here." Master Cheng said, his mind preoccupied with the arrival of the Zhou family. "Doctor Liao said that Fourth Brother's illness would be cured like this. These two girls are kind-hearted but acted rashly, and their good intentions cancel out their mistakes. Let's just consider the matter settled and not mention it again."

  "Thank you, sir! Thank you, madam!" Chunlan cried out as she kowtowed.

  Ban Jin came back to his senses and simply bowed his head in silence.

  Madam Cheng felt somewhat uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do. The master and the doctor had both acknowledged that these two maidservants had saved the Fourth Young Master, and if she insisted on making a fuss about their clandestine behavior, it would indeed make the servants feel uneasy.

  "Go back and serve as a maid, if there's anything like this in the future..." Madam Cheng said, she originally wanted to say that if there was anything like this again, she would definitely not let them off lightly, but then she thought that if they really encountered something like this again, these two maids wouldn't take action and her son would really lose his life...

  "...you must come and tell me first, no matter how absurd the method is, knowing that your intentions are good, both I and Master will believe." She said slowly.

  With Mrs. Cheng's words, Chunlan was overjoyed as if she had been brought back from the dead.

  "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam." She knocked her head heavily.

  Ban Jin thanked him and hurriedly left, even forgetting her manners. She was eager to return home and share the good news with her mother-in-law.

  A daughter who has lost her mother and is supported by her maternal grandparents is simply overjoyed.

  The girls all withdrew, and Mr. Cheng and Second Master went to the hall to meet this younger generation of the Zhou family's guest.

  Madam Cheng and Second Madam Cheng were talking in the back hall, speculating about the intentions of this sudden visitor from the Zhou family.

  "It's a good thing you reminded me earlier, otherwise I would have sent that child to the Taoist temple. This week, the people from the Zhou family are coming to visit and we need to be careful with our words." Madam Cheng said with a hint of relief.

  Madam Cheng smiled slightly.

  It's a pity in my heart, if I had known that the people from the Zhou family would come, it would have been better to let Mrs. Cheng send someone to the Taoist temple instead.

  Jiang Nang also knew about the news of Zhou's family at this time, but compared to Ban Qing's excitement, she seemed somewhat indifferent.

  Of course, even if she's excited, it's hard for her to show it.

  Ban Jin knelt down in front of her, holding onto her arm.

  "Daughter, it's all right now. Although the old lady is no longer here, Uncle and the others still care about you and won't abandon you." She said happily.

  Jiang Nang said oh.

  "It's the Sixth Young Master who has arrived." Ban Jin bit her lower lip and said brightly, "I've never seen the Sixth Young Master before. They say he was bought by Old Madam as a servant girl, and is considered a member of the Zhou family, but I don't recognize him at all."

  Jiang Yao looked at her.

  She said it was someone from the Zhou family.

  "Sixth Master, how old are you now?" asked Cheng Jiaoniang.

  This was the first sentence she asked after Ban Jin came in.

  "Looks like sixteen? No, no, seems like seventeen?" Half of the celery hurriedly replied, thinking about the young man's appearance and seriously guessing.

  "You said he quietly entered the door and watched your affairs for half a day?" asked Cheng Jiaoniang.

  The girl asked what this was? Ban Jin nodded, thinking of that sudden voice, the sudden turn back to see, a little distracted.

  "The sixth young master arrived just in time, and I was no longer afraid at that moment, it was as if the old lady was still around." She said with gratitude.

  Jiang Niang nodded and stopped talking, leaning against the armrest to continue reading the words on the screen, this time she wrote with her left hand.

  Alternate left and right, both hands can exercise more flexibly.

  "Daughter, shall we go see Sixth Master?" Half Cinnamon sat up straight and said, then sat back down, "Let's wait for Sixth Master to come over instead."

  "Let's wait for him to come over," said Cheng Jiaoniang, "He will come."

  Half of the celery responded.

  "And now, your chance for revenge has come." said Cheng Jiaoniang.

  He looked at her with some incomprehension and said "Huh?"

  What enmity?

  Jiang Yao picked up a small notebook from beside her and flipped open a page, pointing at it.

  Today, my wife stole a basket of fresh radishes again, and our daughter didn't get to eat.

  Zhou Lang quickly followed Cheng Erlaoye over.

  "She's afraid she won't be used to it and will be scared by all these people, so she lives here," said Old Master Cheng.

  Having said that, I regret it a bit. The one in front of me is just a little kid, why should I explain to him? Besides, this is my own daughter, let her live wherever she wants, who cares.

  Old Master Cheng's face turned gloomy and he stopped talking.

  "As long as it's home, anywhere is fine." Shūroku said, "As long as my cousin can return home, a golden nest or silver nest is not as good as one's own doghouse."

  Old Master Cheng was furious.

  This little rabbit, scolding people right to their face!

  "I've never been away from home for so long, and now I really miss it." Zhou Liu Lang turned his head to look at Cheng Er Lao Ye and said seriously, "Uncle has been away from home since he was a child to study, and later went to work in other places, which makes Liu Lang admire him very much."

  Second Master Cheng coughed and his expression eased slightly.

  "A good son has ambitions in all directions, you will be the same when you grow up." He nodded and said.

  As they spoke, they had already entered the courtyard of Jingniang's residence.

  The rough servant and the maid servant came to pay their respects and welcome them.

  Standing under the eaves of the hall, Ban Jin excitedly shouted: "Old Master, Young Master!"

  Cheng Er Lao Ye stepped into his daughter's courtyard for the first time since her return, but he really didn't want to enter that house.

  The smell of his childhood home suddenly enveloped him, almost suffocating.

  "Is your wife awake or asleep?" Mr. Cheng Er stood still and asked Ban Qin.

  Shūrō also stood still, looking at Han Qín standing under the eaves of the house.

  "Wake up, wake up." Ban Jin hurriedly said, "I'll help Madam out."

  Before Old Master Cheng could say anything, Ban Qin had already turned around and gone inside. Not long after, she came out supporting Cheng Jiaoniang.

  "Daughter, daughter, come and see, this is Master Zhou." Ban Jin said, supporting Cheng Jiaoniang's arm as he led her to look at Zhou Liulang.

  As they gazed at the girl in front of them, both Cheng Erlaoye and Zhou Liulang were slightly taken aback. Before they could even process their impression of her appearance, the girl had already spoken up.

  "I'm hungry," said Jingniang Cheng.

  Old Master Cheng was taken aback, and those beautiful words instantly vanished into thin air.

  On Saturday, Lang's eyes did not flash, his gaze swept through the process of tender girl, without stopping for a moment, but fell on Ban Jin's body, looking at her shaking hands on Cheng Jiao's arm, with a hint of smile flashing across his mouth.

  "Uncle!" He turned his head with a darkened face and shouted at Old Master Cheng with raised eyebrows, "What does this mean?!"
