"Then we have no choice but to be rude to the young lady." The leader of the guards said with a gloomy face.

"Let's see who dares?" Cheng Yun'er's face flushed red, and she shouted tenderly, and was about to rush forward.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the guards took three or two steps to block in front of Cheng Yun'er. Cheng Yun'er held her head high and chest out, and walked forward. The guards did not dare to make physical contact with her and kept backing away.

Cheng Yun'er still refused to give in. The dog slave actually dared to block her way. Even the leader of the guards couldn't stop him, and the others didn't dare to take any action.

Finally, helplessly, when Cheng Yun'er passed him, the guard leader reached out his hand, took advantage of her inattention and slashed at the back of her neck with a knife, and Cheng Yun'er's body immediately fell limply to the ground.

The leader of the guards quickly reached out his hand to catch her falling body. At this time, the prime minister's wife and several maids hurriedly walked out of the yard.

Seeing the unconscious Cheng Yun'er, he naturally knew what was going on. It was better to be like this, so as to avoid making any noise when getting on the bridal sedan and making a fool of himself.

The auspicious time has arrived. The groom, wearing a bright red wedding suit, is tall, with a square face, a pair of phoenix eyes, slightly dark skin, and a gloomy complexion. He strides over, obviously not very satisfied with today's wedding.

When he saw Cheng Yun'er being carried out by two maids, his already gloomy face became even more embarrassed.

He clenched his hands into fists under his wide sleeves, and then walked out without saying a word.

Cheng Yun'er was stuffed into the bridal sedan like this. When she woke up again, the ceremony had been completed and she was already married.

A few days later, Cheng Yun'er followed Xiao Zhen to take up his post. Xiang Ling volunteered to follow and serve the young lady, and Cheng Yun'er agreed to take her with her.

This county town is far away from the capital, about six or seven hundred miles away. After leaving, she didn't know when she would be able to return. Cheng Yuner cried her eyes out.

She could feel that because she was not a virgin, her current husband, although polite to her on the surface, did not like her and even felt a little disgusted with her.

Xiao Zhen has a mediocre appearance and a bad temper, which is completely different from his cousin Si Chengxu, so Cheng Yun'er ignores him.

Si Chengren came back, just three months after he left. When he came, he looked even more miserable than Si Chengyi, and was dressed like a beggar.

He was leaning on a walking stick, was so hungry that his bones were visible. He could not speak a word and even had to rest for a while. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell who he was.

The guard at the door didn't believe it at first. But when Si Chengren lifted up his hair, revealing his skinny face, he looked at him carefully for a long time before finally confirming that it was him.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion knew about the affairs of Si Chengren and Si Chengyi. While they were secretly shocked, they also felt great contempt for them.

He stole the money and ran away, and now he can't make it in the outside world. He has the nerve to come back like Si Chengyi.

No matter how much contempt he felt in his heart, he still quickly ran to report to Si Wei Zhong.

Today, Si Wei Zhong has resigned from his official position and is recuperating at home, but for some reason, his health is getting worse and worse, and he has to take medicine every day.

He looked dazed and haggard, like a man in his sixties or seventies, and most of his hair was white. He was completely different from a few months ago.

When Si Wei Zhong, who was lying on the bed with half-closed eyes, heard the guard say that Si Chengren was back, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Say what you just said again." Si Wei Zhong thought he was hallucinating. Ever since the two unfilial sons stole his money, he had been fantasizing about Si Chengren coming back.

Sometimes, no matter whether it was day or night, I would always dream about Si Chengren, and dream about him crying and begging for mercy.

"Second Master, it's Young Master Si Chengren who's back." The guard repeated what he had just said.

Now Si Wei Zhong heard it clearly, it was indeed his eldest son who returned.

"Hahaha, great, God has eyes." Si Wei Zhong suddenly laughed so hard that tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Since Si Chengren is back, that means one thing: he has spent all his money and has nowhere to go, so he has no choice but to come to him again.

Do you think this is a refuge? You can come as you please and leave as you please. Okay, since you are back, just come back, hehe.

"Go and call him to me. I want to see what he looks like now." After laughing, Si Wei Zhong breathed heavily, and asked the housekeeper to help him up and put clothes on him.

Just as he finished cleaning up, Si Chengren came in. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down in front of Si Wei Zhong and shouted, "Dad, I am an unfilial son. I did something wrong. Now I know I was wrong. I will turn over a new leaf and be filial to you in the future."

Si Chengren first kowtowed several times on the ground, his voice was sad, tears and snot were streaming, then he knelt down and took a few steps forward, hugged Si Wei Zhong's thighs, and cried very sadly.

He lowered his head to look at the beggar who was hugging his thighs. He smelled foul and hadn't taken a bath in many days. Si Wei Zhong had no expression in his eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.

After confessing for a long time and not hearing Si Wei Zhong say a word, Si Chengren raised his head in confusion and looked into Si Wei Zhong's eyes.

He found that Si Wei Zhong had aged a lot, and looked at him with coldness and disdain, so he quickly lowered his head.

"My son was confused for a moment. Dad, I was deceived by my second brother. He was the one who came up with the idea. I was so excited at the time that I didn't know why I agreed. I regretted it afterwards and did such a stupid thing, but I don't dare to face you."

Si Chengren spoke with such sincerity that it seemed as if it were true. He simply pushed all the responsibility onto Si Chengyi and completely absolved himself of any blame.

"You said that the idea was all proposed by your second brother. Where is he now?" Si Wei Zhong listened to his words with no expression on his face. He spoke slowly after a while.

"When we two brothers left the capital, not long after we left, my second brother took all the silver away and left nothing for me. I felt deeply guilty towards you, so I have been wandering around the capital. I really had no other choice but to come to you again with a thick face."

Before returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Si Chengren had already thought of an excuse. After all, Si Chengyi had fallen off a cliff and died, so he could say whatever he wanted.

Let him die, and I will help him one last time. After all, they are brothers, and brothers are meant to be used.

He had a really hard time these days. Coming back to the capital from such a far place, he had to sleep in the open air all the way and almost died several times. It was a miracle that he could come back.

Looking back on this journey, I feel nothing but sadness.

At that time, he had a huge sum of money in his hands and lived a carefree life. He thought it would continue like this, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened.
