Hearing this, Mu Pingping did not refuse any more, "Okay, I'll tell grandma."

Cheng Zishi patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "You are the eldest son of the Mu family, and you are good at studying. You will definitely take the path of imperial examinations in the future."

"So, don't worry about anything else now, just study hard."

Mu Pingping said, "Master, I will not have any other thoughts."

He finally got the opportunity to study, so how could he not cherish it?

Cheng Zishi was relieved about him. As the eldest son of the Mu family, this child did not develop a dull mind or a foolish filial character. Instead, he was a very intelligent person.

As long as Pingping finishes his studies, the Mu family's life will be even better.

"Young Master." A secret guard landed in front of him and saluted. "The Cheng and Deng families have both sent people, and they're standing at the door."

The smile on Cheng Zishi's face disappeared instantly, and a cold look appeared in his eyes. "Why did the Cheng family send someone here?"

He could understand why the Deng family sent someone.

The Deng family has very good family relationships. If Dr. Deng doesn't go home for the New Year, the Deng family will definitely send someone over.

The secret guard said, "It is said that the old master is worried about you, so he sent someone to check on you and brought some things with him."

Cheng Zishi understood the old man's intention as soon as he heard it. "The old man is reminding me that no matter where I hide or what I do, I am a descendant of the Cheng family from beginning to end and I must give everything for the Cheng family."

Mu Baobao was just about to step forward.

But he was stopped by Mu Pingping.

He shook his head gently at his sister and whispered, "Baby, this is Mr.'s family affair, you can't interfere."

Mu Baobao whispered, "I didn't mean to interfere. I just wanted to comfort the uncle."

"Uncle looks so sad."

Mu Pingping touched her head and sighed in his heart. He could also see that the master was very sad.

But after all, this is the teacher's family matter, and even if they are students, they have no right to interfere.

Over there, Cheng Zishi had calmed down.

He forced a smile and said gently to Mu Baobao, "Baby, I have to go take care of something. I'll come see you later."

Mu Baobao hummed, "Uncle, you still have us, don't be sad."

Cheng Zishi smiled and said, "Not sad."

The sad times are over.

When he chose to survive, he was no longer sad.

Moreover, the Cheng family will not exist for long.

Cheng Zishi returned home.

As soon as we arrived at the gate, we saw a large group of villagers watching the fun and several horse-drawn carriages.

"Wow, what a wealthy family! Look at this carriage! It costs dozens of taels of silver."

"Look at how these people are dressed. They are better dressed than us. They must be servants of wealthy families, right? They are really well-dressed."

As soon as Cheng Zishi appeared, the servants bowed to him one after another.

"Young Master."

"Young Master Cheng."

Cheng Zishi nodded calmly and said slowly, "Go ahead. Don't stand here and block the villagers."

No matter how much the villagers wanted to watch the fun, they did not dare to offend Cheng Zishi. Everyone wanted to send their children to school in the spring.

After Cheng Zishi opened the gate, he was the first to walk in.

The carriage couldn't go in, so the servants carried the things on the carriage in one by one.

Silks, satins, food and drink, and all sorts of other things.

The villagers around here gasped in surprise.

"My God! How much silver does this cost? Look at that cloth, it's really beautiful."

"There are also a lot of food and daily necessities. This is the first time I've seen this. Do wealthy families usually use so many things for food and drink?"

Cheng Zishi seemed not to hear any of this.

He sat on a stool, watching these people moving things with a calm expression. Doctor Deng had gone to the town to treat the Zheng family's twin boy and girl, and it was unknown when he would be back.

As an outsider, it was difficult for him to handle the Deng family's affairs, so he could only ask them to stay and wait for Doctor Deng to come back.

"Young Master." A middle-aged man who looked like a manager came in front of Cheng Zishi.

Cheng Zishi raised his eyelids, his tone unable to tell whether he was happy or angry, "What did the old man say?"

His grandfather had been profit-driven and even had a dark and vicious mind since someone unknown.

The steward was very respectful and didn't dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction. "Replying to the eldest master, the old master said that you have been traveling for a long time and it is time to go back and get married."

Cheng Zishi sneered, as if to say so. "Whose daughter did the old man choose?"

A few years ago, the old man had wanted to use his marriage to gain benefits for him and his family.

At that time, he used the excuse of traveling to avoid marriage.

Unexpectedly, after learning that he almost died, the old man did not care about his health, but instead wanted to use his marriage to gain benefits.

The steward stole a glance at his expression and said nervously, "She's the concubine's daughter of the Minister of Revenue."

"The old master said that although she is a concubine's daughter, she is the daughter of the Minister of Revenue and will be of great help to the young master's career."

When Cheng Zishi heard this, he knew that the old man and the Minister of Revenue had reached some kind of cooperation in private, which was why he wanted him to marry the other party's concubine's daughter.

"Go back and tell the old man that I have no interest in his arrangements."

He said coldly, "If the old master wants to curry favor with the Minister of Revenue, then let your other grandsons marry the Minister of Revenue's concubine's daughter."

On the way here, the steward had thought that the eldest young master would be like this.

The eldest young master's temperament has become increasingly difficult to get along with in recent years.

He was in a dilemma. "Young Master, the old master has ordered that you must marry her and return to the family within a month."

Cheng Zishi said, "Or, you stay here forever."

"Or, go back and tell the old man honestly."

The steward was shocked, "I dare not!"

The eldest young master is really going to kill him.

Cheng Zishi said, "It's best if you don't dare."

"Also, tell the old man that even if he arranged a marriage for me, I would break off the engagement."

When the steward heard this, he knew that Cheng Zishi really didn't want to get engaged.

"Yes, I will report this to the old master."

Cheng Zishi waved his hand impatiently.

The steward stepped aside to sort things out.

Cheng Zishi rubbed his eyebrows, thinking about what to do next.

Based on his understanding of his grandfather, he was the typical type who would never give up until he achieved his goal.

Most importantly, in my grandfather's view, everyone in the Cheng family must listen to him.

Anyone who dares to disobey will be considered an unfilial descendant and will be expelled from the family.

He rebelled against the old man so many times and was not expelled from the family because he was of great value to him.

"Young Master Cheng." The steward of the Deng family came over.

He bowed, hesitating to speak, "There's something I'm not sure if I should tell you."

Cheng Zishi said politely, "If you have something to say, just tell me."

The steward lowered his voice, "My master said that the Cheng family seems to be inquiring about the affairs of Xingzi Village and wants to know why Young Master Cheng insisted on staying here."
