Chapter 35 You can always trust me
Song Shiwei looked at his handsome face full of grievances, and for a moment she couldn't bear to hit him.
She held her forehead and sighed: "I haven't decided what to ask you to do yet, so I'll owe you something for now and I'll talk to you when I've decided."
Xiao Jingheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that she would say something cruel and hurtful.
He said: "In fact, it can't be considered that you won. When we made the bet, you said that you didn't have to do anything and you could let Madam Shen and Zhou suffer the consequences.
But you still let me do some things secretly, didn't you? "
Song Shiwei choked. It was indeed her idea to have Xiao Jingheng do something secretly, and it was her idea to have Taoist Zixu give out Madam Shen.
She knew very well that Zhou could not be convicted simply for bribing Taoist Zixu.
And her father would try to suppress the matter in order to save the reputation of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion.
Rather than end up in vain, it is better to give Xiao Jingheng a handle.
Then he pinned the blame of bribing Taoist Zixu on Old Madam Shen.
If Old Madam Shen knew that it was Zhou who threw the basin of dirty water on her, how could she let it go?
This is called diverting trouble to others.
"So, the prince is trying to default on his debt!"
Song Shiwei raised her eyes and glanced over.
"Don't dare."
Xiao Jingheng touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.
In fact, he just wanted to default on his debt and cancel the bet to prevent Song Shiwei from taking the opportunity to ask him to cut off ties with her.
but……
He is cowardly.
This woman was never very kind to him in the first place, what would he do if he offended her again?
Xiao Jingheng could only admit defeat. He said, "Then let's put it this way. I'll keep my promise to you. When you've made up your mind, tell me."
He stood up and said, "I have detained Taoist Master Zixu. You can bring the Shen family to see him at any time."
Song Shiwei nodded and said, "Thank you."
Xiao Jingheng lowered his eyes and stared at her, then suddenly called out, "Song Shiwei."
"Ok?"
Song Shiwei raised her head and looked at him.
A gust of wind blew, and a few paulownia flowers fell down, one of which hit Song Shiwei on the head.
Jamel Xiao reached out and inserted the flower into her bun, then gently touched her head and said, "You can always trust me!"
Song Shiwei was stunned for a moment, and by the time she reacted, Xiao Jingheng had already disappeared in the yard.
She frowned. What does it mean to trust him forever?
The relationship between them hasn't reached the point of trust yet. Isn't this man a little too self-indulgent?
Just as I was thinking about it, Jingque came over.
Seeing that she had a flower in her hair, she smiled and praised: "Miss, this flower looks really beautiful in your hair."
Song Shiwei blinked and subconsciously touched her hair, only to find that Xiao Jingheng had pinned a paulownia flower on her head.
She took down the purple phoenix tree flower, played with it in her hand, and asked, "Where is my father?"
"Mr. Cheng En went to Ming Hua Tang."
Jingque asked her, "Do you want me to go over and take a look?"
Song Shiwei nodded and warned: "Be careful."
"Yes."
Jingque responded and then left the yard.
……
Ming Hua Tang.
Zhou had just dealt with Cai Lian, and her anger was still raging.
It was all because of this useless servant who told Old Madam Shen the reason why Song Shiwei was sent to the countryside as a child.
Her talking too much almost caused a disaster.
Old Madam Shen mistakenly thought that the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion deliberately married Song Shiwei, who had a bad fate, to their Shen family, and took the opportunity to make trouble.
If she had known that Cai Lian had leaked the matter, she would never have tried to bribe Taoist Zixu.
Fortunately, Taoist Zixu did not give her up, so she should not be implicated in this matter.
Zhou held on to a glimmer of hope, and when she looked up she saw Lord Cheng En striding in.
She was startled and hurried over to say, "Master, I have already dealt with that maid Cai Lian. It's all because of..."
Before she could finish her words, Cheng Enbo slapped her hard on the face and angrily scolded her, "You stupid woman, this is all your fault."
"what."
Zhou screamed, staggered and fell to the ground.
She covered her swollen face and looked at Cheng Enbo in shock.
With tears in her eyes, she asked, "Why did the master hit me? Did you also believe what Cai Lian said and thought that I bribed Taoist Zixu?
Taoist Master Zixu clearly said that the person who bribed her was the old lady of the Shen family, why did the master beat me? "
When Cheng Enbo heard her still quibbling, his face turned extremely ugly.
He grabbed Zhou by the collar and said through gritted teeth: "Do you think everyone else is a fool?
You still dare to say that it was not you who did it? Do you want me to bring Taoist Zixu here to confront you face to face?
Do you know how much money our Song family has lost because of your actions?
Do you dislike Shi Wei so much that you have to let her lose her reputation and be divorced by the Shen family before you are satisfied?"
Zhou was frightened by his expression.
During their long marriage, Song Moting had always been kind to her and had never gotten angry.
Now that he has lost his temper, I think the matter must be very serious.
She held Cheng Enbo’s arm and said, “Master, I know I was wrong.
I just didn't want Shi Wei to suffer in the Shen family, and I was confused for a moment and did something bad with good intentions."
Cheng Enbo shook off her hand and said coldly: "Do you think anyone will believe what you said?
Once people know that it was you who bribed Taoist Zixu and used such a vicious scheme to deal with Shi Wei, it would not only ruin you, but also Mingzhu.
She is currently discussing marriage with the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. If things get out of hand, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be?"
Zhou's heart skipped a beat. She knelt on the ground, her face pale, and cried, "Master, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again."
Cheng Enbo took a deep breath and asked, "Why did you do this?"
"I……"
Zhou bit her lip and expressed her worries: "The master thinks highly of Shen Linchuan and thinks he has the talent of a top scholar.
I'm just afraid that Song Shiwei will overshadow our Mingzhu one day."
"madness."
Cheng Enbo kicked her and cursed, "If Shi Wei is divorced by the Shen family, do you want Mingzhu to marry her and become the wife of the top scholar?
Our Song family has no real power in the court, and we cannot survive by relying solely on wealth.
If Shen Linchuan becomes the top scorer in high school, Mingzhu's marriage will be guaranteed.
By then, our Song family will also have a place in the court.
But you, an ignorant and vicious woman, actually want to ruin this marriage? Are you trying to harm our Song family? "
Zhou had no idea what was involved, she just didn't want Song Shiwei to enjoy the glory.
She reached out to pull at Cheng Enbo's clothes and pleaded, "Master, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me."
Cheng Enbo took a deep breath and said, "Prince Ling has detained Taoist Master Zixu, which is equivalent to holding the handle of my Song family.
Right now, all he wants is the money from our Song family, but there is no guarantee that he will not ask for more and want to get more benefits from our Song family."
He glared at Zhou fiercely: "It's all your fault. If you had half the intelligence and talent of Miao Shu, I wouldn't be in this predicament!"
