Wen Family Has a Wife

Chapter 255 Peng's Arrest

Peng twitched the corners of his mouth, turned around suspiciously, got into the sedan chair and muttered, "What the hell! You don't see me... Could it be that the letter is not sent this month?"

While thinking about it, the sedan chair entered the gate of Liu Mansion.

Mrs Peng got out of the sedan chair and entered the yard with the help of the maid, and asked casually, "By the way, is the wedding date for the eldest lady set?"

The maid bowed her head and replied respectfully, "Madam, it's not yet decided."

Peng's face sank, "What is undecided? Could it be that the dead girl hasn't given up yet? Can't she resist?"

The maid smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Madam, it's not up to you to decide what happens in this mansion! The reason why I'm not sure is probably because the master respects you and thinks about negotiating with you before making a decision, so there is no voice. You might as well talk to the master. Say it, isn't the day set?"

Peng shi likes to listen to this kind of flattery the most, so he raised his mouth proudly, swept away the sullen anger just now, and said with a smile: "You are right! That's the truth, but I still want that dead girl to get married early, so as not to have too many dreams at night! Humph! If it wasn't for this marriage, how could this lady have left her life low!"

Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Peng became angry. She was the successor, and she didn't know that Liu Chengji had arranged a marriage with others. As a result, the other party came to the door with the betrothal token. She didn't even think about it. Kill Liu Zhilan, otherwise it will be her daughter who is married now. Now Peng only hopes that Liu Zhilan will live longer, at least she has to live to get married. After that, it doesn't matter if she lives or dies.

The maid smiled and agreed, and then hesitantly asked, "It's just that the eldest lady's dowry wife should be careful."

Mrs Peng's expression changed, she took a deep look at the maid, and said with a wicked smile: "You don't say that this lady has forgotten about such an important matter, and that's the case, let's mention it to the master together, it's just to marry a poor family, what do you want? dowry!"

Before seeing Liu Chengji, Mrs. Peng had already thought about what to say. As soon as she entered the door, she offered tea to him and squeezed her shoulders, and said softly, "Master, I went to Chen's house today, only to find out that the eldest daughter of the Chen family was married yesterday. , I don't know what my cousin-in-law thinks, that he is so low-key, even we are hiding it."

Liu Chengji turned around in surprise, met Peng's long and narrow almond eyes, and said in surprise, "Didn't you just get married? Married so soon? It doesn't make sense! I haven't heard anything about such a big thing!"

Peng shi shook her head, she was still confused, but this is not the point, thinking of her own abacus, Peng hurriedly pulled the conversation back, "Master, you see that the daughters of the Chen family are married, our Laner's marriage is Isn't it time to set a date? I heard that the man still has to study, and there are no elders in the family. It is better to strike while the iron is hot and rush to do the marriage a few years ago, so that the uncle can also study with peace of mind in the future, right? And, With someone who knows the cold and the hot to take care of me, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Speaking of Liu Zhilan's marriage, Liu Chengji's brows furrowed. He privately didn't want Liu Zhilan to get married, but the most important thing in business is credibility. Lianwen, but one thing came into his heart. The man didn't even have an elder. Liu Zhilan was married now and she was the mistress of the house, so there was nothing wrong with it. The big deal was to give her a generous dowry.

Thinking of this, Liu Chengji's brows stretched out again.

Peng shi paid careful attention, and immediately said, "I think there are a few good days before the twelfth lunar month. Why don't you choose a day in that month to marry Lan'er?"

Liu Chengji pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, "It's not impossible."

Peng Shi was overjoyed, and said again: "Then it's settled. As for the dowry, the master will just leave it to me. I will definitely prepare it properly for Lan'er."

Liu Chengji didn't follow her words at the moment, but pondered: "You don't need to worry about the dowry, her mother's dowry is still there, and the government has a record, and then she will be Laner as a dowry, the mansion. A few more and it’s done.”

Peng shi froze, his face gradually darkened, and he said reluctantly, "Master,

The things that my sister brought are from the house, how can you give them all to Laner, and besides, there is a younger sister under Laner, if you give her such a dowry, it is not good to favor one over another..."

Mrs Peng also said that Liu Chengji had already interrupted, "This is what Lan'er's mother meant, and Lan'er's grandfather's family was there to testify back then. These things were originally reserved for her, and they should be returned if they were not given to her. Do you think these things can be hidden in the palace?"

"I..." Peng shi naturally thought so, but when he met Liu Chengji's obscure eyes, he swallowed his words again, "Since that's the case, I have nothing to say."

Only then did Liu Chengji slowly lower his eyes, "That's it, Jiayue (November) chooses a good day and asks the man to come to welcome you."

When Mrs Peng returned to her yard, she immediately smashed a lot of things. Thinking of those dowries, her heart bleeds, but she couldn't do anything. She could only spar with the servants in the yard to vent.

Before she could figure out how to take the dowry, the letter from the capital came. Because Ouyang didn't send her a message this time, Peng could only put those things aside for the time being, and went to Chen's house again with the letter.

This time, the housekeeper did not stop her, but invited her to another unfamiliar courtyard.

Mrs. Peng had a ghost in her heart. She sat for a long time without waiting for anyone, and felt a little uneasy. After a while, someone finally came over. Mrs. Peng got up and took two steps forward. He finally let go of his heart and smiled: "Mommy, where's my cousin? Why do you look so thin? But it's hard to take care of my cousin!"

Mammy murmured for a long time, then tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled dryly: "Serving the madam is the duty of a slave, how can it be hard! It's just that the madam is sick, and now I can't see anyone, so I can only ask the slave to come over and talk to Mrs. Liu."

"Cousin's body is more important, I won't care." Saying that, Mrs Peng approached the mammy and shoved the letter into the mammy's arms.

Mammy's face changed greatly, and suddenly a number of guards rushed in, and could not help but take down Peng shi.

Mrs Peng was so frightened that her face paled, and she shouted, "Presumptuous! What are you doing? I'm Mrs. Liu's!"

The leading guard said solemnly, "Mrs. Liu is offended!"

With that said, the guard snatched the letter that was too late to hide in Mammy's arms. Seeing this, Mrs. Peng didn't understand anything, looked at Mammy in a daze, and murmured, "You betrayed my cousin... ..."

Mammy's face was ashen, her lips were trembling for a long time and she couldn't say a word. She could only shake her head in tears to show her innocence.

Mrs Peng was not stupid. With a change of heart, she knew that something was wrong with Mrs Ouyang. Thinking of the robbery case of Chen's house which had caused panic in those days, her face paled a bit.
