The Cheng Family Courtyard.

In front of a somewhat desolate stone square.

All the core members of the two houses of the Cheng family were standing here, as well as many loyal servants of the Cheng family, including Cheng Da, who had a bandage wrapped around his chest.

Dozens and hundreds of people gathered together, all covered in darkness, waiting for news.

Cheng Lian'er stood in the hall, her eyes a little dull.

She didn't expect that Qian Neng's death would cause such huge turmoil to the Cheng family's business in a few months.

Not long after.

The head of the Cheng family, Cheng Yong, an old man in his seventies, walked into the hall with the support of two middle-aged men. When he saw Cheng Lian'er standing in front of the hall, he paused.

He sighed dejectedly, but did not speak. He continued to move forward. Under everyone's gaze, he stood at the highest point and stared down at everyone.

Everyone's eyes also focused on him.

The atmosphere, which had been quiet and depressing just now, became even more depressing now, even causing some people to feel chest discomfort.

Everyone held their breath slightly, waiting for the final news to come.

Cheng Yong looked at his favorite granddaughter. He and his father spent nearly fifty years building this huge Cheng family.

And now...

Just because of the words of a different person practicing Zang, it will be wiped out in ashes.

He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but maybe because he was old and easily sentimental, his chest seemed to be pressed by a huge boulder. He took a few deep breaths, but still couldn't change it. Instead, he felt more and more heavy in his chest.

"Grandpa, when will we separate?"

Cheng Yong recognized it. The person speaking was the grandson of the second wife, Cheng Yue.

He ignored Cheng Yue's words and looked at his second son, Cheng Yingnan.

Now, besides Cheng Da, he is one of the only masters in practicing viscera in the family.

"Second brother, is this what you mean?"

Cheng Yingnan was silent, and slowly raised his head under everyone's gaze, looking directly at Cheng Yong, "Father, you are old. The Cheng family cannot be dragged into the quagmire because of Lian'er's niece."

Cheng Yong's chest was heaving violently, and his long white hair and beard were dancing in the air. These days, he had been running around for the Cheng family, begging many people, and even went to the city guard's office.

But the Jade Elephant Dianzuo responded with a sentence, the hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable.

The Cheng Shou Ming Gong was able to maintain the stability of the Cheng family in Feiyun City because of the affection the Cheng family had given to the City Shou Mansion over the years.

"Are you planning to sacrifice your niece? Yingnan!"

Cheng Lian'er's father, Cheng Yingdong, sounded a bit questioning.

Cheng Yingnan did not answer, but he did.

Cheng Yue said, "Half years ago, Qian Neng came to ask for a hand in Lian'er's sister. If grandpa had agreed, Qian Neng would not have committed the crime of robbing the bride. He would not have lost his life, and his family would not have suffered what happened today." This misfortune.

Grandpa, do you still want to keep Cheng Lian'er? ! "

He asked loudly, causing an uproar among the people around him. What made Cheng Yong's chest feel a little uncomfortable was that most people nodded in agreement.

This cohesion of the Cheng family makes his family tradition, which he always boasts of being upright, seem ironic.

Cheng Yong felt cold in his heart and looked at his eldest son, "Yingdong, what do you think?"

Cheng Yingdong could reprimand Cheng Yingnan loudly before, but now he was silent.

So Cheng Yong knew what he was thinking. He clenched his fists, but there was no warmth in his palms.

He just opened his mouth, but didn't say anything yet.

Everyone stared at him.

Everyone is waiting for him.

Cheng Yong's eyes were filled with dizziness, and his ears buzzed, as if he couldn't hear anything anymore.

After a long time, he finally said, "I plan to..."

Cheng Lian'er suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand to support Cheng Yong, and said, "Grandpa, do you believe me?"

Cheng Yong didn't hear clearly at first, but when Cheng Lian'er spoke for the second time, he finally heard his granddaughter's words.

"Lian'er, if you have any opinion, just say it."

Cheng Lian'er showed no timidity at all. She stood up and walked step by step towards the high platform where Cheng Yong was. Turning around, her robe drew an arc in the air. In such a dull environment, she actually seemed to have a sense of elegance and unparalleled elegance. .

"You all heard it. Grandpa listened to me, so I said it.

I know what the elders mean, isn't it just to separate the family? Okay, from now on I will be with my grandfather, father, second uncle, you can leave together. I, Cheng Lian'er, will bear all the bad debts. I only want the ancestral home! "

The Cheng family was completely broken up.

This news spread like a storm throughout Feiyun City in just one night.

Countless people flocked to the Cheng family.

This time, the Cheng family was completely doomed.

Cheng Lian'er stood in a room, looking at her grandfather Cheng Yong calmly.

Behind him, Cheng Da, who was bleeding from the bandage, spoke softly, "Miss, you are a little... impulsive."

Cheng Lian'er smiled bitterly, "You all know that everything started because Qian Neng wanted to kidnap me, so Yuxiang Dianzuo's target has been me from the beginning to the end.

I was born in the Cheng family and have been raised by the Cheng family for nearly twenty years. It's time for me to contribute to the family. My father and second uncle should not have to bear all this.

It's just a pity... Grandpa is the head of the family and cannot be divided. Otherwise, I would have to bear all this alone. "

Cheng Yong sat aside and looked at his confident granddaughter quietly, with a smile on his lips.

He stretched out his hand, and Cheng Lian'er very discerningly stretched her head over and let him touch her, just like she did when she was a child.

Cheng Da's eyes were moist and he was a little confused.

"Lian'er, how do you plan to solve those bad debts?"

Cheng Lian'er looked confident, "My Cheng family started with medicinal materials, so naturally we can turn around with medicinal materials. As long as we go deep into the mountains and find a great medicine that is more than five hundred years old, we can solve all today's difficulties."

Cheng Yong hesitated to speak. Is it really that easy to go into the mountains to collect herbs?

"Lian'er, do you really not know who saved you?"

Cheng Lian'er was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "I really don't know."

When the silence returned to the room and Cheng Lian'er was the only one left, the confidence and calmness on her face completely disappeared.

Obviously, all her confidence was just an act.

The batch of goods that was snatched away from the Jade Elephant Dianzuo a few days ago, medicinal materials worth nearly 20,000 taels of silver, were purchased by many families in the inner city. They couldn't go wrong, and if they couldn't fill up the medicinal materials, they could only refund the deposit.

But the Cheng family's losses were too serious this time. They lost nearly 40,000 taels of property before and after, and they had to pay another 20,000 taels in the inner city, which they couldn't afford to pay.

Standing in the empty room, no longer hearing the cheering sounds of children in the past, Cheng Lian'er felt for a moment that she seemed to be separated from the world. She was like a lonely ghost wandering outside, lonely and lonely.

‘I don’t know whether I am right or wrong in concealing your existence. ’ Cheng Lian’er thought of the reason for everything inexplicably, and couldn’t help but reveal a wry smile.

She wanted to keep her word and not disclose information about Xu Guang to the public, but today the Cheng family suffered such a blow.

Facing her grandfather, who was getting older and older, she wanted to speak countless times, but her conscience seemed to be being tortured, asking for trust on one side and filial piety on the other.

She was suffering.

"Xiaobai, prepare the car, I'm going to the inner city."

Cheng Lian'er took out the Wen Gong rubbings from the ancestral hall and a detailed map recording the Cheng family's years of collecting medicines, his eyes silent.

If this hurdle cannot be overcome, these two things will be given to Xu Guang, which can be regarded as repaying his life-saving grace.

As for her kindness, let him always be in debt.

The maids and servants prepared the carriage and took Cheng Lian'er towards the inner city. She wanted to enter the inner city to make a final effort.

Cheng Lian'er closed her eyes to rest, and suddenly heard the maid's exclamation.

"Miss, someone is blocking the way."

A flash of displeasure flashed across Cheng Lian'er's face, thinking that someone else was here to collect debts.

I just opened the sedan curtain and saw an unexpected person.

"It's you."

Xu Guang looked at her silently, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, "I heard something happened to the Cheng family, so I came over to take a look."

Cheng Lian'er suddenly felt resentful and said coldly, "Don't you want to have anything to do with me?"

Xu Guang looked at the slightly haggard Cheng Lian'er.

He also didn't expect that Qian Neng's death would cause Qian Cheng to vent his grievances on the Cheng family.

"I still have some money. I can lend it to you if you need it."

Cheng Lian'er opened his mouth, but suddenly a bitter smile appeared in his heart. That was a shortfall of nearly thirty thousand taels of silver. Although Xu Guang had gained some fame now, it was still too far behind.

"Really? It's rare that you are willing to help, but I won't bother you with this matter. I can handle it."

Xu Guang looked up at Cheng Lian'er standing on the sedan chair and was speechless for a while.

In the end, the sedan and the person were walking in the opposite direction, and gradually drifted away.

Xu Guang was silent. He didn't know how big the gap was in the Cheng family. During this period, he had been doing tasks outside the city. Those bandits were actually quite rich. Apart from buying medicine and daily expenses, he had accumulated enough money. There are nearly ten thousand taels of silver, which is a full thousand taels when converted into gold.

The black eats the black, and always makes huge profits.

Cheng Lian'er didn't ask him to help, but he seemed to feel guilty and asked Cheng Lian'er carefully about some things and details.

If the problem is not easy to solve, then go and deal with the person with the problem and kill the Jade Elephant Dianzuo Qian Cheng, and all the difficulties of the Cheng family will naturally be solved.

He was not helping the Cheng family, but it was a good opportunity for the Cheng family's medicines to be robbed. This batch of goods was of great value, and there were several large medicines in it. Even if he had to pay for it, he would have to go and check it out in person.

As long as the group of thieves is found, there will be a chance to meet Qian Cheng alone.

Based on my previous speculation, as long as the conditions are right, the probability of killing Qian Cheng is... 99%!

Whether it was Sanmei's hatred or Qian Cheng's bloodline power, he was very interested in it.
