girl, you're wrong

Chapter 227 Ask You When You Can Rise Up

Cheng Jinyang was discharged from the hospital.

He returned to the clan in silence, without disturbing anyone.

Then, at the entrance of the family meeting hall, I met my cousin Cheng Huaiyan.

"Cousin." Cheng Jinyang said in a low voice.

He was a little embarrassed and sad, because the second uncle and the third uncle went with him, but in the end he was the only one who came back alive.

"As long as you're fine." Cheng Huaiyan patted him on the shoulder.

"Third Uncle's matter..."

"That's not your fault." Cheng Huaiyan comforted him, "Father is God."

"Death on the battlefield is the fate of warriors. He has written a suicide note before departure."

The cousin sighed quietly, and pointed upstairs:

"The Moon Fairy is up there."

Cheng Jinyang understood what he meant, so he said goodbye to his cousin and walked into the family meeting hall.

When he came to the second floor, he saw Cheng Yuexian packing the files in the file cabinet with his back turned to him.

"Cousin." Cheng Jinyang called.

Then he saw his cousin wipe her face vigorously twice, before turning around, there were still faint tears on her face.

"Jinyang?" She let out a long breath, "You are finally back."

"In the past few days when you were hospitalized, the family has accumulated a lot of things that have not been done. If your body recovers, you can deal with it as soon as possible..."

"Cousin, are you okay?" Cheng Jinyang asked late.

Cheng Yuexian fell silent.

"I'm sorry about the second uncle..."

"Well, I don't blame you." She turned around, "I just...need to take it easy."

She went to the bathroom.Cheng Jinyang followed to the door, only to hear uncontrollable choked crying from inside.

………………

"Discharge ceremony?" Cheng Jinyang asked helplessly.

"Yes." Xing Yuanzhi said, "It can be washed away."

"What sickness..." Cheng Jinyang was speechless. It always feels a little weird that you will have a banquet as soon as I leave the hospital.

However, because of the sacrifices of the second uncle, the third uncle, and the other two members of the clan, the atmosphere in the clan is indeed too low now, and it would be good to hold a banquet to boost morale.

"Forget it, let's do it." He agreed.

"Then let me prepare." Cheng Yuexian said.

After the cousin left, Cheng Jinyang asked Xing Yuanzhi in a low voice:

"What's going on? The whole family was kept secret before, and now they are holding a banquet suddenly? What the hell are you planning?"

"This is my idea." Wang Wanrou's voice sounded from behind.

"Wanrou?" Cheng Jinyang was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

"My father wants to see you." Wang Wanrou said concisely.

Normally, Cheng Jinyang might tease her and say, "Why does your father-in-law want to see your son-in-law early?" But now he really doesn't have the mood to play cheap, and sighed:
"Send the clansman away in the name of a banquet, and let me meet him in private? Don't be so troublesome, just let me go to him directly?"

"Father doesn't want the emperor to know about this." Wang Wanrou said.

Cheng Jinyang pondered.

"Okay," he said finally, "but I ask you to be there."

Wang Wanrou said without hesitation:
"Of course. I don't trust you to communicate with him alone."

"Do you know what he wants from me?"

"I don't know, but I can roughly guess it." Wang Wanrou said, "Jinyang, how much do you know about your mother?"

"My mother..." Cheng Jinyang said, "is she an academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences?"

"That's right." Wang Wanrou said, "But her other identity is rarely known."

"Another identity?"

"The Cheng family, the capital of the gods, miscalculated the attitude of the five surnames and thought they were afraid of Xie Guyan's royal background, so they tried their best to prevent your parents' marriage." Wang Wanrou said coldly, "But it's not That way... I can’t tell you the details, I’ll tell you after confirmation.”

"Is she the emperor's younger sister?" Cheng Jinyang tentatively guessed when Miss Wang refused to say so.

"Why do you say that?" Wang Wanrou was surprised.

"Sister Xinnan once told me that my mother used to be her teacher." Cheng Jinyang said thoughtfully, "If my mother is just an ordinary academician of the Academy of Sciences, how could she become the princess' teacher? But if she has another Identity, such as sister Xinnan's aunt, wouldn't that make sense?"

"In that case, your sister Xinnan will become your cousin." Xing Yuanzhi said suddenly, "So you are a sister-in-law?"

"Hey, I just said it casually." Cheng Jinyang clarified quickly.

In the afternoon of the same day, the banquet at the Cheng clan land was held as scheduled.

Due to the remoteness of the place and the fact that the Cheng family no longer has fifth-rank supernatural powers, only the Hejian Xing family and the Sanchuan Zhu family responded to the invitations sent out.

Considering that the younger generation is easier to talk to each other, the Hejian Xing family sent Xing Yuanzhi to the meeting, and the Sanchuan Zhu family sent Zhu Xinchu.In addition, although the Yangzhai Chu family and the Hongnong Yang family did not respond publicly, there were young people who came without warning in private, and were secretly introduced by Cheng Yuexian, and did not show up in front of the tribe.

"Xinchu, I heard that you recently joined the Habayashi Army?" Cheng Jinyang asked politely.

"Yeah." Zhu Xinchu, a former second-year middle school youth, has changed into the uniform of the Habayashi Army at this time, with a serious look, "Brother Jinyang, I have heard about your feat the day before yesterday, but it is a pity that you failed to defeat the rebellion. Mothership."

After finishing speaking, he poured a glass of wine: "I am strong for the public."

Cheng Jinyang returned to the drink in a hurry, but he was embarrassed to say that he was just watching the battle. In the end, he was hit by the main gun and stayed in the hospital for three days with a concussion. It really wasn't a feat.

The two continued to be courteous for a while, and then Zhu Xinchu went to find Cheng Huaiyan.His visit this time was not purely social, but because the Habayashi Army wanted to temporarily second some personnel from Tianluo, so Zhu Xinchu, a newly promoted officer, was asked to try to open a gap from the god capital Cheng.

Cheng Jinyang turned around and said with a sigh:

"The change in him is really great. But you and I, it seems that we haven't changed much since we first met."

"It's just that I haven't changed much." Xing Yuanzhi also felt emotional, "He has changed from a family member who knows nothing about the world to an officer of the Habayashi Army, what about you? You have changed from a humble family with nothing to now in charge of the entire God City Patriarch of the Cheng clan, isn't this change enough?"

"Enough is enough." Cheng Jinyang smiled, "It's just that the future is so unpredictable and blurred, which makes people uneasy."

"No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are." Xing Yuanzhi also poured a glass of wine, "Jinyang, I would like to cross with you."

"Together." Cheng Jinyang clinked glasses with her.

The two drank quietly for a while, then Cheng Yuexian came over quietly and said in a low voice:

"coming."

"Yun Zhi, I'll go back first, you can do what you want." Cheng Jinyang bid farewell to her.

Xing Yuanzhi knew that he was going to see Wang Wanrou's father, so he nodded and went to Miss Qingqing and the others.

When he came to the inner room of the family meeting hall, Cheng Jinyang saw the chief assistant Wang Maohong standing by the window, looking at Shishou Mountain in the distance.

Wang Wanrou stood behind him, nodding slightly calmly.

"Cheng Jinyang." Wang Maohong turned around and said with a gentle smile, "Actually, I have wanted to see you for a long time, but I have been busy with affairs and have no time to get away. Now that I am temporarily resigning from the court, I finally have time to do something."

"Master Chief Assistant." Cheng Jinyang bowed his hands.

"You don't need to call me Shoufu." Wang Maohong waved his hand, "I am older than your father, you can call me uncle."

Wang Wanrou raised her eyebrows.One must know that the children of other aristocratic families all honor their fathers as "princes", but he is willing to let Cheng Jinyang call him uncle?
"Cough, my nephew has met my uncle." Since the other party expressed his intention of being close, Cheng Jinyang naturally accepted it immediately.

"I heard that after returning from the battlefield the day before yesterday, you were hospitalized and bedridden for three days. Are you feeling better now?" Wang Maohong asked kindly.

"Thank you Uncle for your concern, I'm almost better now."

"Yeah." Wang Maohong stroked his beard, "Is there any abnormality in your body?"

"Nothing unusual."

For some reason, although there was no clear evidence, Cheng Jinyang noticed that Wang Maohong seemed a little disappointed.

After finishing the conversation, Cheng Jinyang left in a daze.

From the beginning to the end, Wang Maohong only asked him some daily trifles, such as the current situation of the Cheng family in the god capital, the business status of Tianluo, and the future plans of the clan, etc.

However, he felt that Wang Maohong didn't care about these.Mr. Shoufu really asked seriously from the beginning to the end, only the very first question "is there any abnormality in the body".

Watching Cheng Jinyang go to the courtyard to entertain guests, Wang Maohong stood by the window with his hands behind his hands, seemingly thinking a little bit.

"Father." Wang Wanrou said in a low voice, "You suspect that Cheng Jinyang inherited from his mother..."

"...that kind of power?"

"It's not me who doubts." Wang Maohong replied, "It's the emperor who doubts."

"As early as three years ago, after Cheng Qinghe and Xie Guyan died in a monster attack in Wujiang Town, the nobles stopped paying attention to their orphans."

He let out a long sigh:

"However, if he really inherited that power, then the catastrophe of the court..."

"Don't mention the misfortune of the court, how does father feel like a common man?" Wang Wanrou asked softly, "Is it a blessing or a curse for this world?"

"I don't know."

"Is there something your father doesn't know?"

"People are not sages, how can they know everything?" Wang Maohong chuckled, "Wanrou, if there is such a day, can you see his heart clearly for the father?"

"I'll go and see." Wang Wanrou lowered her head and said.

with my own eyes.
