Old Madam Cheng gradually became short of breath, and her old hands clutched her chest tightly.
It was as if someone had given him a mute drug and he couldn't make any sound.
"Madam? Madam!"
Aunt Feng was the first to notice that something was wrong with Old Madam Cheng.
Her exclamation brought Cheng Cheng, who was immersed in complaining, back to reality.
"Grandma, grandma?"
Old Madam Cheng loosened her hand, gave Cheng Cheng a complicated look, then closed her eyes and fell down.
Cheng Cheng hugged Madam Cheng and shook her continuously, trying to wake the unconscious old lady up.
Feng's mother was so anxious that she was about to cry and kept stamping her feet.
If something happened to this old lady at her birthday party, it would be a joke.
If the higher-ups blame me...
Feng Ma's face turned pale at the thought.
Cheng Cheng was annoyed by her pacing around and yelled, "What are you still standing there for? Call the court doctor over."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go right away." Feng Ma stumbled out.
-
Here, Mrs. Cheng took great pains to find Yu Jing and Dongfang Qingmo who were about to leave the house.
Madam Cheng walked towards Yu Jing with a smile, "Mrs. Dongfang."
Yu Jing glanced at her coldly and did not respond.
Madam Cheng smiled awkwardly and continued, "Madam Dongfang, I won't beat around the bush and will just speak directly."
She apologized with a smile, "My son is sorry for offending me. I hope Madam Dongfang and Miss will forgive me!"
Yu Jing sneered, "Mrs. Cheng, do you think this matter can be resolved with just an apology?"
Madam Cheng quickly explained, "Cheng'er has always been sensible. What happened today was caused by drunkenness. It's all Master's fault for insisting on the younger generation toasting. Haha, he just loves your young lady too much. It wasn't intentional! The two children can still interact with each other!"
Yu Jing glared at Mrs. Cheng. "Do you think I'll believe you? Your family's upbringing is truly worrying!"
Madam Cheng was frightened by Yu Jing's aura, but she still pretended to be calm, "Mrs. Dongfang, please don't be angry. We will definitely teach Cheng'er a lesson."
At this time, Dongfang Qingmo, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up, "Mrs. Cheng, what your son did to me was not a simple offense. If it wasn't me today, but another girl from an ordinary family, I'm afraid my innocence would have been ruined long ago."
If they announce the marriage after just a casual meeting, all the girls in the world will marry into the Cheng family!
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, her face turned very ugly, "Miss Qingmo..."
Dongfang Qingmo interrupted her, "Mrs. Cheng, I don't need your apology. I just hope you can take good care of your son and don't let something like this happen again. Otherwise, our family will not let you off easily. Also, I will never marry into your Cheng family!!" After that, she pulled Yu Jing and turned away.
The guests coming and going pointed and talked at Mrs. Cheng.
Mrs. Cheng stood there with an expression of anger and unwillingness on her face.
She gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly, "Damn it! Dongfang Mansion, sooner or later I will trample you under my feet!"
At this moment, a servant came running from a distance in a panic, shouting, "Madam, madam, something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!"
Mrs. Cheng was already in a terrible mood, and now that this servant had messed things up, she was even more furious. She raised her hand and slapped the servant in the face, cursing viciously, "What are you yelling about? Speak properly!"
The servant covered his face and said tremblingly, "Madam, old madam, the old madam has passed away!"
For a moment, the whole place fell into silence.
The guests around had obviously heard the news as well. They stopped and showed expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces.
They originally came to attend the old lady's birthday party, but they didn't expect to encounter such a change.
Madam Cheng was horrified. Her face turned pale as paper, and even her voice began to tremble. "What? Where is the old lady?"
The servant pointed in the direction of the yard and stammered, "In the yard."
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she immediately turned around and hurried towards the yard with a group of people.
Mrs. Cheng walked into the courtyard with a sad face. As soon as she stepped through the door, she saw a group of people kneeling on the ground.
The old lady lay quietly on the bed, covered with a white cloth, exuding an ominous aura.
"Master, what happened?" Mrs. Cheng asked anxiously, her voice full of worry and uneasiness.
Cheng's father pointed at Cheng Cheng who was kneeling on the ground with great sorrow and said in a heavy tone: "This evil son, this evil son..."
Cheng Cheng retorted unconvincedly: "Father, what does it have to do with me? It's all the fault of the Dongfang Mansion!"
Mrs. Cheng probably understood what had happened, but now was not the time to blame anyone.
There are many guests at home, and the top priority is to stabilize the situation.
The news of mother-in-law's death must not be leaked out, otherwise the blame for angering grandmother to death will fall on Cheng Cheng, which will ruin his life.
Tomorrow it will definitely cause a stir in the whole city and everyone will know about it.
Father Cheng was so angry that he covered his chest and stared at Cheng Cheng with disappointment.
He suddenly turned around and pointed the finger at Mrs. Cheng, blaming her: "It's all because of you, you spoiled him all the time, that he became so lawless!"
Mrs. Cheng looked helpless and couldn't help complaining in her heart: Why do I have to be blamed for everything?
However, the last bit of her rationality told her that this was not the time to argue about right and wrong.
She quickly reminded her husband, "Master, now is not the time to shirk responsibility! We must put this matter to rest as soon as possible and never let anyone from Lianlan Sect find out!"
Master Cheng seemed to have just woken up from his dream and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, yes, we must deal with this matter quickly!"
At the same time, Yu Jing was taking Dongfang Qingmo for a leisurely stroll down the street.
Yu Jing said to Dongfang Qingmo with a smile, "Mo'er, mother will take you to our shop to pick out some beautiful jewelry!" As she said that, she told the coachman to park the carriage in front of her shop.
Dongfang Qingmo snuggled up to Yu Jing's shoulder and said happily, "Mom, you are so kind!"
Yu Jing gently stroked her head, her tone full of love: "Silly child, I only have a well-behaved and lovely daughter like you. Of course I will treat you well with all my heart."
At this time, the voice of a servant came from outside the carriage: "Madam, I have something important to report."
This servant was the one Yu Jing arranged to be in charge of delivering gifts at Cheng Mansion.
Yu Jing responded: "Go ahead."
The servant reported, "Madam, Old Madam Cheng has passed away!"
Yu Jing and Dongfang Qingmo looked at each other in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Huh? What happened?
Just at the banquet just now, the old lady seemed healthy and energetic, how could she suddenly...
"Have you found out the reason?" Yu Jing asked hurriedly.
"I heard that it was Master Cheng who made the old lady faint from anger..."
"This Cheng Cheng is really too much! He actually treats his grandmother like this!" Yu Jing was furious. "Hurry, go home immediately!" She hurriedly ordered the coachman.
Then, she turned to the servant beside her and said, "Go and find the master quickly and tell him that I have something urgent to discuss with him!"
"Yes, ma'am." The servant responded quickly.
Now they had to rush back to the mansion to discuss countermeasures. After all, the Cheng family was likely to turn the tables and shift all the blame onto them.
Yu Jing looked at Dongfang Qingmo with an apologetic look and said softly, "Mo'er, I'm afraid I can't take you to play this time. We have to go home quickly."
Dongfang Qingmo nodded sensibly, expressing his understanding. "Mother, don't worry, the important things are more important."
Madam Cheng actually died just like that?
And he was pissed to death?
Could it be that after Cheng Cheng was wronged by them, he turned back home and complained to the old lady?
When people get older, they already have chronic diseases, which may flare up if stimulated.
It is a misfortune for a family to have such unfilial descendants.
This time the price is really high!
Thinking of this, Dongfang Qingmo couldn't help feeling speechless. He felt that Cheng Cheng was really like a child, and his behavior was childish and ridiculous.
"Mother, how does Old Madam Cheng treat others?"
"Old Madam Cheng has always been kind and generous, and she loves the younger generation very much. She has a very good relationship with your grandmother. It's really sad that she was angered to death by that unfilial son this time." Yu Jing sighed.
Dongfang Qingmo also felt a pang of regret...
As they were talking, the carriage had arrived at Dongfang Mansion.
Inside the mansion, Dongfang Qiong was pacing in the study. Seeing Yu Jing and Dongfang Qingmo return, he hurried forward to inquire about the situation.
Yu Jing informed Dongfang and others about everything that happened in the Cheng Mansion and the news of the old lady's death.
Dongfang Qiong felt a surge of rage rising to his head. "How dare you! This Cheng Cheng is outrageous! I'm sending someone to chop him up right now!"
Dongfang Qingshui was also indignant and was about to draw his sword and rush out.
How could their baby be insulted like this?
Dongfang Ti frowned, and after a moment's contemplation, he said, "Don't worry, this matter is of no small importance. The Cheng family will definitely make a big fuss about this, so we must be careful."
"Husband, Qingshui, A-ti is right, don't be impulsive."
"Dad, brother, death is the most important thing now, don't be impulsive."
Dongfang Qingmo and Yu Jing stopped the two.
"What does Second Uncle plan to do?" Dongfang Qingmo asked.
"Tomorrow I will go to the Cheng Mansion in person to express my condolences and see what they really want to do." Dongfang Ti said with a firm look.
If the Cheng family turns the tables, the Dongfang family will not be a pushover either.
"Master, the old lady is here."
Hearing the voice, Dongfang Qiong and others immediately stood up and went to the door to greet them.
"Father, mother."
"Grandfather grandmother."
Dongfang Yiba nodded with a stern face and said, "Well, don't just stand there, come in and sit down."
Dongfang Qingmo carefully helped Qin Huailan into the living room and arranged for her to sit down.
As soon as Qin Huailan sat down, she couldn't wait to ask, "Ajing, what's going on with Lijuan?"
Lijuan is Madam Cheng's maiden name.
She was originally going to attend Lijuan's birthday party this time, but her poor health did not allow her to go out.
Yu Jing took a deep breath and recounted the incident in detail again.
After listening, Qin Huailan said angrily: “Damn it, this damn Cheng Cheng.”
Poor Lijuan...
Dongfang Yiba slammed the table in anger and shouted, "You bastard, a toad wants to eat swan meat, Mo'er will not go to their house!"
With the support of the Eastern Tyrant, Dongfang Qingshui became tough again and shouted: “Grandfather, I will send someone to chop him down now!”
"Brother, be patient!" Dongfang Qingmo hurriedly stopped him, fearing that he would act impulsively.
After hearing what her sister said, Dongfang Qingshui realized that she had lost her composure in front of her grandparents, so she stopped talking.
Dongfang Ti expressed his plan, "Father, I plan to go to the Cheng residence tomorrow to pay my respects and see how the situation is."
The Eastern Tyrant nodded, "We can't let them accuse us of anything."
Dongfang Ti agreed.
Qin Huailan sat on the rattan chair, feeling sad.
"Grandma..." Dongfang Qingmo leaned forward.
Qin Huailan sighed and said regretfully, "Lijuan and I are best friends. We have known each other since childhood. It was she who misjudged people and insisted on marrying Cheng Lang. Otherwise, how could she have ended up like this..."
Dongfang Yiba snorted coldly, "Then there is not a single good person in the Cheng family!"
"I'll go with you tomorrow." Dongfang Qiong patted Dongfang Ti on the shoulder.
Dongfang Ti gave Yu Jing a wink.
If Dongfang Qiong were to go there, he would get angry and a fight would definitely start.
Yu Jing immediately understood and continued, "Husband, aren't you going to the farm tomorrow to check on the profits?"
"Just let the light water go."
Dongfang Qingshui is now able to stand on his own, so handling these matters shouldn't be a big problem.
Dongfang Qingmo pointed at Dongfang Qingshui and said anxiously, "Dad, how can my brother go out like this?"
After all, he is now bald. If he goes out like this, which girl will be willing to marry him in the future? This is not acceptable!
Ancient people attached great importance to hair.
After hearing this, Dongfang Qingshui quickly shrank his neck. He had not dared to go out for several days and could only pray silently in his heart that his hair would grow back quickly.
Dongfang Qingmo on the side continued to suggest: "Dad, why don't you take me to the farm for a walk?" He thought to himself, this is really great, I found another reason to go out and play.
Qin Huailan also nodded in agreement and echoed: "Aqiong, let's do it this way. You take Mo'er to the manor to take a look, and A Ti will go to pay his respects."
She knew her son's character very well and was worried that he might cause trouble.
Dongfang Yiba also thought this method was feasible and said directly: "Then it's decided!"
Dongfang Qiong sighed helplessly and finally compromised.
The next day.
Dongfang Qingmo happily accompanied Dongfang Qiong and Yu Jing to the farm.
Dongfang Ti arrived at the Cheng residence, where everyone was in mourning. After expressing his condolences to Mr. Cheng, he directly asked about the cause of the old lady's death.
He wanted to see if Mr. Cheng would lie.
No one wants a birthday party to turn into a funeral party.
This is a big taboo and is bad luck.
Mr. Cheng burst into tears and told Dongfang Ti what had happened. He emphasized that Cheng Cheng had realized his mistake and hoped that the Dongfang family would forgive him.
The Cheng family also has plans to form a marriage alliance with the Dongfang family. The result of last night's discussion was to be frank and honest with each other.
