The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi thought about it and thought that Madam Wan, who had no principles, might be able to do such a thing. However, it was not her fault after all. She complained to Cheng Feng, "If I am punished, it is because of you. Who told you to bring the lotus leaf back earlier?"

"I was afraid that you would get angry. When I was in the southern Yan Kingdom, I had already planned to send her directly to Bian Jing Tie Zhu. But as soon as I arrived in Fengqi, I heard that Fengqi was at war with Dalang Kingdom, and the battlefield was in Chaizhou. I could only arrange for her to stay here temporarily."

Cheng Feng sighed and continued, "I had no choice. She stopped me on the street and I couldn't just sit there and do nothing after I learned about her situation. I'm her uncle, how could I just watch her make a living in that kind of place?"

"I was wondering why we didn't get any money back for the pearls we brought out. It turns out you used the money to redeem the lotus leaves." Others could make some money when they went out to sell goods, but he was different. He had been away for more than two years, not only did he not bring back a penny, he also lost a lot of money. Doing business with someone like him would be a loss-making business.

Cheng Feng explained, "They saw that we were merchants from other places, so they asked for a sky-high price. If it was less than two thousand taels, they would not let us go. At that critical moment, I had to redeem He Ye no matter how much money it cost. After all, I watched her grow up. Although she was deeply influenced by her mother Liu Dalan, I am her elder after all. If I sit back and do nothing, my conscience will not be at peace."

Shang Xi nodded and said, "You did nothing wrong, but Han Nianxia is already deadly in this mansion, and with the addition of a mentally unstable He Ye, how can we live in peace in the future? It's easier to invite a god than to send him away! I don't know when these two people will be able to move out of here."

Shang Xi just wanted to live a few days of peace and quiet, but unfortunately she was never destined to do so.

Cheng Feng consoled her, "Don't worry, I'll send these two away together when the time comes."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of the dining hall. Looking up, they saw four people of different sizes sitting in a row on the roof of one side of the dining hall. It was so lively! The most active and restless one among them was the little Cangzhuo. At this moment, he was dancing excitedly towards Shang Xi, while Cangman on the side was grabbing his collar to prevent him from falling.

When Xiao Cangzhuo saw Shang Xi, he was so excited that he shouted at the top of his voice: "Aunt, come up quickly! It's fun here!"

Hearing this, Shang Xi's heart instantly rose to her throat, and she was extremely nervous. She quickly said, "Cang Zhuo, how old are you? Why are you also in the room?"

Cang Zhuo said excitedly: "My dad carried me up here."

Shang Xi immediately looked at Cangman. She knew it was Cangman who did it. If Furong saw this, who knows what the consequences would be. "Cangman, what are you doing? You can play anywhere. Do you have to carry the child to the roof? Bring the child down quickly. If he falls, you won't be able to cry."

Facing Shang Xi's reproach, Cangman responded with an innocent look: "You are still lecturing me. It was your son who took the lead in going up to the roof. As soon as Cheng Youning and Qiao Rong sat on the roof, my son rolled on the ground and insisted on going up to the roof. He cried so hard, and I, as a father, could not just ignore it, right? So I had to bring him a ladder to let him go up to the roof." After saying that, Cangman pretended to be helpless!

Shang Xi looked up at the people above, each of them holding fried fruits in their hands. Cheng Youning was eating them with gusto. Thinking of the scene where her son had just stood up for her and upheld justice, the words that were originally on the tip of her tongue to say something to Cheng Youning were swallowed back into her stomach.

Shang Xi cleared her throat and said to Cheng Youning in a gentle voice, "Youning, eat less fried fruit. We will have eight-treasure rice pudding later."

Seeing Shang Xi so calm and peaceful, and the virtuous mother she used to be, Cheng Youning smiled and said, "Mom, you are not angry anymore!"

Shang Xi deliberately put on a generous and tolerant look, and replied with a smile: "Mother is not that easy to get angry, it's just a small misunderstanding. In fact, your father did nothing wrong. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame us mother and son for being too impulsive."

Cheng Youning complained, "It's not my and mom's fault. It's Dad's fault for not informing us beforehand that there was an extra person in the house. Humph, that He Ye is lucky that I didn't beat her to a pulp today!"

Cheng Feng, who was standing next to Shang Xi, couldn't help but raise his finger and point at Cheng Youning who was sitting on the roof, pretending to be angry and said, "Cheng Youning, isn't it painful enough to kick your butt? If you keep saying these nonsense, be careful that Daddy will make your butt break."

Cheng Youning said angrily, "Daddy is bad! If you dare to hit me, my mother will definitely hit you with a stick."

When Cheng Feng heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He pointed at Cheng Youning and shouted angrily: "Cheng Youning, you dare to bring up this matter!"

However, facing his father's anger, Cheng Youning was not afraid at all. Instead, he chuckled, and his laughter was clear and pleasant, like a silver bell. His eyes also smiled into crescents, and he asked Cheng Feng with concern: "Dad, are you seriously injured?"

Cheng Feng replied unhappily: "He won't die, so don't worry about him!" After that, he turned around and sat at the stone table in the yard, on which was placed the apron that Shang Xi had just taken off.

At this moment, Cang Man, who was standing by, was ready to defend Cheng Feng. He began to teach him a lesson, "Shang Xi, you can't do this! How can a woman hit her husband? This is simply rebellion! If you did something like this in someone else's family, you would have been taken away and punished. As a woman, you must abide by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues and support your husband and raise your children."

But Shang Xi didn't buy it at all. She raised her eyebrows and retorted bluntly: "Let your Furong talk about the three obediences and four virtues! I don't care about these broken rules." Before she finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the kitchen.

There were several women busy in the kitchen. Yuhua, who was thinking after the fact, saw Shang Xi and complained, "Shang Xi, I told you not to be impulsive. Look at you, not only did you get so angry, but you also beat Cheng Feng without knowing the right or wrong. It's a small matter to make everyone laugh at you. Look at our dishes. Just now everyone rushed to watch the fun. No one was watching the kitchen. The chicken was burnt to the bottom of the pot. Half a pot of food was wasted."

Shang Xi muttered, "I thought you were going to stand up for Cheng Feng, but Yun Lai is just worried about the food!"

Yuhua pouted and said, "Thinking about what He Ye and Liu Dalan did to you in the past, I hate them so much that my teeth itch. When I saw Cheng Youning beating her, I didn't feel sorry for her at all. Instead, I felt relieved. But after hearing about her experience, I can't help but feel sympathy. I am just like you, soft-hearted."
