A Good Show

Just outside the courtyard, the chrysanthemums nearby said, "Those two are off fooling around again. Oh dear! Poor wife, she's left alone in her empty room every day."

A black chrysanthemum couldn't help but mock:

"Cheng Xiao is truly sincere towards Feng Caigu. In order to be with Feng Caigu, he is willing to come to this poor and remote place."

Unfortunately, this legal wife still thinks it's for her daughter's sake!

"Hahaha... you're right! I've never seen such a foolish woman, actually believing in the nonsense of growing old together."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Madam Cheng and said, "The next show might overturn your understanding, so you need to be mentally prepared."

Remember to take deep breaths and don't be surprised by anything you see.

Madam Cheng looked at her with a worried expression and asked, "What exactly is the problem?"

"Come with me!" Zhou Wanwan led her through the side door.

Two trusted confidantes followed behind Madam Cheng. Soon, Zhou Wanwan found a large tree and said, "Let's listen here!"

The big tree was right outside Feng Caigu's room, and soon Feng Caigu's voice could be heard. "Did the doctor say there's nothing wrong?"

The maid replied, "There's nothing wrong. The young master just needs to have diarrhea for a few days."

"Ha! That brat, we'll have to teach her a lesson sooner or later. I don't even know where that country bumpkin came from."

However, she also did a good deed this time. Because of her, Cheng Xiao entrusted me with the full management of the backyard."Feng Caigu said with a smug look on her face.

The maidservant beside him flattered, "This household will eventually be handed over to you to manage. Over the years, our master has already helped you transfer a lot of assets."

Feng Caigu said with a smile:

"Those gold and silver jewelry might be considered valuable by others, but I didn't care about them at all."

Look at my drawer full of gold and silver jewelry, all bought for me by Cheng, My Love. I wouldn't deign to take anything from a little girl.

Besides, I've practically spoiled that girl; the entire Cheng mansion belongs to my son."

The maidservant beside him nodded and said, "Master will be here soon. Please take a bath first!"

Seeing Madam Cheng's blank expression, Zhou Wanwan was truly afraid something might happen to her, so she quickly whispered, "Madam, you must hold on! If you can't hold on, Miss Yueyao will be finished, and are you willing to accept that?"

Madam Cheng's face was deathly pale, and tears streamed down her face. She murmured to herself, "How could this be? How could this be? I gave him everything the best of everything, how dare he?"

Zhou Wanwan said softly, "Madam Cheng, you must have seen through their true colors now. You need to calm down; the real battle is yet to come."

Zhou Wanwan felt some sympathy for Madam Cheng. Madam Cheng had lived her whole life in a lie. She thought her husband loved her, but he didn't love her at all.

Feng Caigu came out of the house and saw Cheng Xiao stride in. He hugged her tightly and said, "You silly girl, why are you picking on a young girl?"

"Hmph! Am I the one who's at odds with her, or is she the one who's at odds with me?"

Cheng Xiao, you actually helped her instead of me! Our son almost got into trouble, you know?!"Feng Caigu's tears flowed down her cheeks.

Cheng Xiao gently kissed away her tears and said:

"How come you're still this crybaby after all these years?"

It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that a young girl might not have such skills.

"Then who do you think did this? It wasn't your sister, was it?"

"Her? She's not exactly bright to begin with, and we've been living under her nose for almost 10 years."

She never doubts anything, so how could she possibly doubt us?

It might be a misunderstanding. Okay, let's not talk about that. She's just a country girl; she can go back home.

We haven't seen each other in so long...

"You're so unwell! The child is still sick!"

Cheng Xiao touched her face and said:

"It's almost healed. My child is six years old this year, and I've contacted a private school."

Tomorrow we'll send him to the private school. I've bought him a house; he can stay there for now.

Feng Caigu looked at him and said, "You're trying to coax me again. You said you'd divorce my sister, but I've waited for you for so many years, and you still haven't broken up with her."

Cheng Xiao sighed and said, "Her three older brothers are all extraordinary people, and her parents dote on her. Recently, her father sent her two more estates."

Feng Caigu said sourly, "It's all my father's fault. He's just a useless poor scholar his whole life, with no skills whatsoever. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so frustrated."

"Alright, isn't it the same? After marrying into the family, Madam Feng managed the household quite well."

You should learn from her and learn more from her, so that you won't be too tired when you have to socialize in the future.

"In a few years, once we've achieved some political success here, we'll make her... disappear. Then you'll be the rightful mistress of this house," Cheng Xiao said eloquently.

Madam Cheng's heart grew colder and colder, and Zhou Wanwan had just witnessed a great show.

She truly hadn't expected that this County Magistrate Cheng, who appeared to be a refined gentleman, would be so vicious.

Madam Cheng was so angry that she almost couldn't stand up, but fortunately her two maids supported her.

What followed was an appalling scene. Madam Cheng opened her eyes and carefully observed the scene in the room.

After a long while, she returned to the main house with the help of two maids.

She sat on the stool and looked at Cheng Yueyao, whom she had brought to her, and said, "From now on, I will personally raise Yueyao. I almost harmed her. Go find a doctor to check her health."

Zhou Wanwan quickly shook her head and said:

"This isn't safe. If people find out, they'll be on guard. How about this?"

I know medicine; I can take a look at Yueyao.

Zhou Wanwan took his pulse and said:

"She has been taking jujube seed powder for a long time, along with other medications, which has severely damaged her health. It will take a long time for her to recover."

We need to force all the toxins out of her body.

Cheng Yueyao looked at them and asked, "Mother, sister, what's wrong? What happened?"

Madam Cheng hugged her tightly and burst into tears:

"Yaoyao, it's all my fault!"

From now on, your mother will never entrust you to anyone else's care again. From now on, your mother will personally look after you and raise you.

Cheng Yueyao also cried, Zhou Wanwan immediately took out a bowl of water and said, "Drink this water! It will be good for your health."

Cheng Yueyao gulped it down, only to see Zhou Wanwan make a cut on her finger.

Madam Cheng hissed and said, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "Force all the poison out of your body. Get a small bowl."

Then they saw the blood slowly dripping down, and it was all black. Madam Cheng cried her heart out.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Madam, I advise you to stop crying. Now is not the time to cry. What do you plan to do now?"
