Girl, there's something wrong with you
Chapter 43: Why rush the pan-fried food?
As the two entered the inner hall, a group of sixth-grade and above supernatural beings from the Cheng family of the God City swarmed out under the leadership of the head of the family, Cheng Qingxin.
Everyone stared in silence with cold faces, giving Cheng Jinyang the unpleasant feeling that "Lin Chong accidentally entered the White Tiger Hall".
However, Cheng Xinnan just smiled, released the frightened boy from his hands, and then pushed forward with all his strength.
The two people around Cheng Qingxin quickly came out to catch him, and then quickly carried him to the back hall.
"Your Highness," Cheng Qingxin said slowly, "A distinguished guest is coming, why didn't you inform us in advance?"
Ha, Your Highness?
Cheng Jinyang was stunned: Which Your Highness?
"Tell me in advance?" Cheng Xinnan's smile did not change, "That's good. I will send people to the front door immediately to pay their respects. Do you, Cheng, dare to accept it?"
Cheng Qingxin didn't answer, his eyes moved slightly down and landed on Cheng Jinyang.
Cheng Jinyang was keenly aware that the head of the family looked at him with a very complicated look: scrutiny, fear, rejection, disgust, and a vague and indescribable strange emotion.
It seems like... guilt?
"His Royal Highness suddenly disappeared, causing a storm in the city. I think he had a big agenda behind it, but why did he choose to show up in our divine capital, the Cheng family?" Cheng Qingxin smiled faintly, waved his hand, "Your Majesty!"
The chair placed next to the wall immediately moved over, making Cheng Jinyang envious: This gravitational force is used to show off...it's a bit powerful!
Cheng Xinnan calmly sat down on the chair, and Cheng Qingxin waved his hand again:
"Serve tea!"
Then the teacup floated over.
Cheng Xinnan shook his head: "No need. The tea is good, but I'm afraid I won't respect bad guests."
So the teacup floated back again.
Cheng Jinyang:? ? ?
"Cheng Qingxin, I'm here just to ask you something." Cheng Xinnan sat on a chair, folded his arms, and asked in a condescending tone, "Do you still recognize Uncle Cheng as your ancestor? "
As soon as this statement came out, although no one spoke, the atmosphere suddenly became obviously sinister.
Cheng Jinyang looked at everyone silently and noticed that almost everyone's expressions changed slightly.
"Why did you say that?" Cheng Qingxin was slightly surprised.
"In the past, King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty, Great Sima Cheng Bo, divorced his father, and his descendants were divided into two lines. One line took the surname of the feudal city and was called the Cheng family; the other line took the official position as the surname and was called the Sima family." Cheng Xinnan said indifferently, "But in the past, your brother Because Cheng Qinghe married Professor Xie Guyan of the Royal Academy of Sciences, he was expelled from the Cheng family in the capital city and slandered his son as a 'slave'. What's the reason?"
"The two veins come from the same source, but now they are strangers. If they are even remotely related, they are afraid to avoid it, and even have the courage to drive Cheng Qinghe out of the door to 'draw a clear line'. Today, I will ask on behalf of the Sima royal family, What does the Cheng family in the capital of God mean? Do you intend to expel the Sima family from the genealogy of Cheng Boxiu's father, or do you not intend to recognize Cheng Boxiu's father as your ancestor?"
"What Your Highness said is wrong." Cheng Qingxin said calmly, "The Cheng family and the Sima family are from the same source and are brothers, but they were separated thousands of years ago. Cheng Qinghe was expelled from the gate because he disobeyed the family If you wish, marry a commoner woman privately instead of getting involved with the Sima family."
"Okay!" Cheng Xinnan laughed angrily and high-fived, "Since it was Cheng Qinghe who disobeyed the family's wishes and got married privately, I can't blame you. May I ask what marriage you originally arranged for him?"
Cheng Qingxin was speechless for a moment. The so-called "disobedience to the family" and "unauthorized marriage" were just excuses. It was just that Princess Sima was sitting here and questioning him face to face, so he couldn't admit it.
He couldn't answer, and immediately a clan elder next to him said:
"How can the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker make sense for him to decide on his own? Since he is born into a noble family and enjoys family resources, he must fulfill family obligations. Could it be that if the family does not arrange a marriage for him, he can just choose anyone to marry him? ?”
"Okay!" Cheng Xinnan sneered and tilted his head, "I dare to ask this clan elder, Cheng Qinghe is already at the seventh level at the age of twenty-eight. In the future, the sixth level will be guaranteed and the fifth level will be promising. Is there anyone in your Cheng family who is as talented as him? ? With such a gift, in an ordinary family, who wouldn't give him a wife and four concubines to vigorously propagate his bloodline?"
"On the contrary, you, the Cheng family, not only delayed his marriage, but also refused to accept concubines for him. Is it because you were afraid that he would become too prosperous and take away your master Cheng Qingxin's position as the head of the family!!!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their expressions. Cheng Qingxin frowned and said angrily:
"Your Highness, be careful what you say!"
Cheng Jinyang watched coldly from the side, taking in everyone's reactions, and roughly deducing the outline of what happened that year in his mind.
"Be careful what you say?" Cheng Xinnan said fiercely, "In the past, Qinghe and his wife were expelled and they retreated to Wujiang Town. I am concerned about the friendship between the two clans. Have you ever publicly accused you of the Cheng family in the capital city for just a few words?"
"On the contrary, your Cheng family, the capital city, turned a blind eye to the plight of Cheng Qinghe and his wife. Three years ago, the demons crossed the Laoshan area and attacked Wujiang Town. Did you send any soldiers to support them?"
"Cheng Qinghe and his wife passed away, and their son Jinyang was trapped in the old house and suffered from heart disease. Did you ever ask anything about it? You kept asking others to be careful, but your own family disdainfully called people of the same blood as 'slave slaves.' This is not what you Cheng family said. Is there any nonsense in what comes out?"
"Your Highness!" Cheng Qingxin had already calmed down. Facing Cheng Xinnan's accusations and sarcasm, he replied in a deep voice, "Cheng Qinghe has split his clan. According to the rules of the noble clan, the Cheng clan in the capital city will not interfere with his affairs anymore, which is unreasonable. As for his surviving son Cheng Jinyang..."
His eyes fell on Cheng Jinyang: "Although the word "Jinnu" is a contemptuous term, it has never come from my mouth, and it is not the family's conclusion about him. It seems that Cheng Qinghe refused to genetically test, and some tribesmen had doubts about it. , so it’s just speculation.”
"So, are you still doubting Jinyang's bloodline?" Cheng Xinnan asked coldly.
"Not bad." Cheng Qingxin replied calmly.
Well, isn't that right? Seeing that the head of the Cheng family answered decisively, Cheng Jinyang immediately became confused.
The last time Cheng Yizhou had a conflict with him in the hospital, he should have told the family elders about it when he returned. In other words, Cheng Qingxin should know that he has mastered the power of gravity and is a genuine member of the Cheng family bloodline.
How could I admit that I still doubt my bloodline and origin? Wait, could it be...
Cheng Jinyang thought about it and suddenly realized:
At that time, his father refused to do a genetic test on himself. This matter was spread so widely among the Cheng family in the city of God that it even led to suspicion that he was not of his blood, and he was nicknamed a "slave" as an adopted son.
Therefore, Cheng Yizhou's words alone will definitely not convince the public. If Cheng Qingxin claimed in public that he had "no doubt at all", he would be in trouble.
On the other hand, the real motive that prevents the family from accepting him is definitely not the issue of bloodline affiliation; his father is a genuine bloodline of the Cheng family, so how can he be expelled from the family if he is expelled?
The real reason must be that he is afraid of his mother’s royal background!
Therefore, Sister Xinnan deliberately used the excuse of forgetting her ancestors to force him to admit that "the Cheng family and the Sima family have the same origin", so that her mother's royal background would not implicate her.
Then the only obstacle to returning to the family is whether, as a descendant of a poor family, he really has enough "gravity" bloodline concentration.
Thinking like this, I heard Cheng Xinnan say loudly:
"Okay! In that case, as long as his bloodline is proven, the matter will be clarified and confirmed, and no one from the Cheng family will be allowed to slander themselves in the future, right?"
"That's right!" Cheng Qingxin also showed a solemn look, "But if he can't prove it, he will never be able to set foot in the Cheng family in the divine capital again, or have any relationship with the Cheng family, how about that?"
He looked at Cheng Jinyang and asked the last word "how".
Cheng Jinyang smiled slightly and responded calmly:
"good!"
