Chapter 108: Sisters of Different Generations

Shangguan Yue did think about sending Nanny Zhu to Lincheng to Cheng Rui.

But she still had concerns. She wanted to see how important Mrs. Cheng was in Cheng Rui's heart. If Cheng Rui valued Mrs. Cheng so much, why didn't he notify his father-in-law's family in Yuecheng as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, these days she learned from Mrs. Cheng about the prominence of Mrs. Cheng's family. Her brother was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and her father was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, both of whom held high positions of power.

His father and brother held much higher official positions than Cheng Rui's, and Mrs. Cheng's father and brother also came from a simple family, without any beautiful women, and their family ties were deep.

It's better than Cheng Rui, whose wife has been gone for five days and there's no news at all. He is a completely emotionless person. Mrs. Cheng even gave birth to a pair of children for him. Her enthusiasm was really wasted.

How dare Nanny Zhu hand it over to him? She has to look at the situation of Madam Cheng's family. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice! His power is greater than that of the local prefect.

Mrs. Cheng had a great time during these five days, which opened the door to knowledge and experience for her, so she made a decision to become sworn sisters with Chen Bianbian and Shangguan Yue.

It was reasonable to swear brotherhood with Chen Bianbian, but wouldn't it be confusing if a kid like Shangguan Yue also swore brotherhood? But the three of them had no objection, so who dared to say anything?

Mrs. Cheng was the eldest sister at the age of 28, Chen Bianbian was the second sister at the age of 25, and Shangguan Yue was the youngest sister at the age of 8.

The three sisters were having a great time, while Shangguan Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't express her pain.

"Sister, do you know why you were poisoned?" Chen Bianbian felt that he should tell Mrs. Cheng the truth.

"I guessed something, but Cheng Rui didn't say anything. I knew there must be something that I couldn't know. Maybe he got in the way of others in the officialdom!"

Mrs. Cheng thought that Cheng Rui might have offended someone in the officialdom, and he didn't tell her because he was afraid that she would worry, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"No, big sister, this is all caused by his bad love affair in the past. You are just a cannon fodder to prevent the disaster. Don't you know Cheng Rui's former white moonlight?"

Shangguan Yue looked at Mrs. Cheng suspiciously. Could it be that her elder sister didn’t know Cheng Rui’s past?

"I know he had someone in his heart, but he never said it. He promised to marry me and said he would only marry me for the rest of his life and would not take concubines. He did all of that, but I felt very depressed and wanted to escape."

"Big sis, I think since we are already sisters, we can't hide it from you. I don't want you to be kept in the dark forever."

Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian told Mrs. Cheng everything about Cheng Rui's past, how he had a crush on Li Caiju, and how Li Bing wanted to marry Li Caiju to Cheng Rui.

Chen Bianbian also talked about the grievances and family disputes between her and Li Caiju. Li Caiju was snobbish and not only was she unwilling to marry Cheng Rui, she also resented her family.

She became the mistress of a married wealthy businessman and secretly poisoned his first wife before becoming his principal wife. Then she learned that Shangguan Yan became a general and became jealous of her becoming the general's wife.

Then he tried to poison her secretly, but when he failed, he came to her house to mock her and spread rumors in an attempt to ruin her reputation.

Now she even wants to poison the wife of the man she once wanted to marry. What a vicious and crazy woman with a heart as vicious as a snake!

"Big sister, it is said that before you were poisoned, you accidentally bumped into Li Caiju and got slapped. Cheng Rui was there at the time, but he didn't help you fight back and even pretended not to know you. Is this true?"

Shangguan Yue still wanted to understand the situation clearly, while Chen Bianbian was curious and wanted to know more.

Seeing her two younger sisters asking about this matter, Mrs. Cheng still felt uneasy. Her husband was the head of the city, but he was slapped by a woman in his own place, but her husband did not punish the woman.

Even if she was wrong, it was just a minor collision, and she apologized repeatedly and promptly. The woman was very arrogant at the time, but if you think about it carefully, the woman hit her after seeing Cheng Rui.

That means that Li Caiju beat her specifically in front of Cheng Rui, and Cheng Rui also knew that the woman was Li Caiju, but he hid it from her. Why should Zeng Qianer bear the romantic debt that Cheng Rui had incurred?

You are so good, Cheng Rui! Wait and see!

Zeng Qian'er thought about the whole thing carefully. She was really blinded by one thing. It was obviously a very obvious thing, but she naively thought that she was very smart and understood him very well.

In fact, she didn't understand him at all, and now she didn't want to understand him anymore. What's the point of keeping a heart that couldn't be warmed even after ten years?

But when she thought about the home she had given everything to build, and if he left like this, her heart would ache so much.

She hugged Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian tightly, tears flowing uncontrollably.

Chen Bianbian, who had been betrayed before, knew how to understand Zeng Qianer's suffering. Seeing Zeng Qianer crying, she cried too.

Now, Shangguan Yue has to persuade that one person and then that one.

"I am really lucky to have met you. I am really happy to be your sister. I have not had any true friends in the past twenty years.

When I was waiting to be married, I only had acquaintances. After I got married, I left Yuecheng and lived in a strange city. Except for my husband, I didn't know anyone.

When wives of officials interact with each other, they dare not speak their true feelings. They are all pretending to be polite and wearing masks, for fear that the other party will have something to hold against them. "

Holding the two people's hands, Zeng Qian'er was sincerely grateful and thankful. It turned out that the friendship between people also made her full of hope and fighting spirit.

"Big sister, what are you talking about! None of us three should say these polite words. Aren't you going back to your parents' home tomorrow? Go back and spend some time with your family.

By the way, let me see what your father and brother think. I originally planned to give this Nanny Zhu to Cheng Rui, but now it depends on you, big sister. It's up to you to decide who you want to give it to."

Shangguan Yue also figured it out and decided that it would be better to consult the person involved about who to assign this person to.

"Don't give it to him yet. Wait until I come back and decide."

next day

Zeng Qian'er loaded two trucks with large and small bags of things and went back to her parents' home. She had been delivering things to Lincheng for ten years and there was nothing new about it.

So she had already bought enough good things in Shangguan Yue's shop, many of which were collectibles that were not for sale and could not be bought anywhere else.

She prepared a lot of banknotes for the purchase, but her two sisters refused to take a penny. There was nothing she could do. After returning to her parents' home this time, her brother, sister-in-law, father and mother would definitely force a lot of things on her.

When the time comes, she can just give it all to her sisters.

Zeng Qian'er and her maid Hua'er got on a carriage, followed by two carriages full of gifts, and they happily left the general's mansion.

Seeing Zeng Qianer finally agree to leave, Shangguan Yan was the happiest person in the general's mansion.

He wanted to set off fireworks to celebrate, but he would have to go to the camp outside Beijing in less than half a month, so he would not have much time to spend with his wife all day.

Ever since Zeng Qian'er came, the lady had become much colder towards him for some unknown reason.

He really didn't do anything! That woman must have said something bad about him in front of the lady.

He will return it to Cheng Rui in the future, huh!
