Chapter 157: Zhang Yizhong Sees Through My Mother
Cheng Yizhong looked coldly at his mother who was still pretending to be sick, and suddenly felt how foolish he had been.
"Mother, you don't have to worry about this matter. If you let Kang'er and his sister stay in the house of this stupid woman named Da, you will harm the children."
Old Madam Cheng was so angry that she was about to stand up with her crutches. Cheng Yizhong's voice was faster than the cane she stretched out: "Someone come!"
"Yes!" Two maids came in from outside tremblingly, not daring to raise their heads high, and bowed slightly.
They had been waiting outside and listened to the whole process. They had never seen the master get angry in front of the old lady before, and they were afraid of being affected by the master's anger.
"Immediately move Kang Ge'er and Hua Jie'er's belongings to the Madam's courtyard. From now on, the two children are not allowed to step out of the Madam's courtyard without my permission."
Cheng Yizhong's words were like a wake-up call, catching Old Lady Cheng and Mrs. Da off guard.
Immediately, without caring whether the child was in pain or not, he picked up Cheng Kang from the ground and pushed him in front of the two maids: "Take him away!"
"Yes~"
"Dad doesn't want me, my son wants me, I want my grandmother, mother~save me~mother~"
Seeing the two women dragging the child away, Mrs. Da rushed forward distressed, ready to grab the child: "Kang'er!"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yizhong kicked him in the chest mercilessly again.
"Ah!!!" Da fell heavily to the ground, and his back hit the chairs and tables.
Liang was so frightened that her heart trembled, and she clutched the handkerchief tightly against her chest.
Her husband was a warrior, but he had never attacked a woman so many times. She thought about how gentle and considerate the master had been to Da in the past, and then thought about how cold and heartless he was now.
Suddenly, Liang felt that the man in front of her was very strange, so strange that it was scary.
Seeing her eldest son making trouble one after another, no matter how angry Mrs. Cheng was, she was so scared that she didn't dare to take a step forward.
Da ignored the pain in her body and quickly got up and knelt in front of the man, crying and begging, "Master, please don't take the children away. These are the only two children I have."
"Yi Zhong, how can this be so disgraceful!" Old Lady Cheng pounded the ground with the wooden stick in her hand.
Cheng Yizhong glanced at Da, who was kneeling before him, indifferently. Suddenly, he raised the corner of his mouth and looked at his mother: "Mother, you should be happy that your son has made such an arrangement."
Old Madam Cheng was suddenly confused by his words. She didn't know what her son was trying to say and raised her eyebrows in displeasure.
Then he heard him say, "From now on, Da will stay in your backyard and serve you at all times."
Upon hearing this, Da forgot to cry and fell to the ground in a daze.
What does the master mean by this? Does he have to clear out even her courtyard?
The master asked her to serve his mother-in-law all the time?
This is equivalent to asking her to move to her aunt's yard.
In this case, how could the master come to her room in the future, and how could she find a way to get the two children back from Liang.
Cheng Yizhong didn't look at Mrs. Da again. Instead, he turned back and said to Mrs. Liang in a slightly softer tone, "From now on, the eldest lady will be in charge of the household affairs of the entire mansion. It will be a heavy chore, and she will also have to raise several children. From now on, the eldest lady will bring the children to pay her respects to the old man on the first and fifteenth day of every month."
Liang had not yet recovered from what had just happened. When she heard the man of the house talk about this arrangement, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad!
Does this exempt her from the daily morning and evening visits?
However, Liang was happy that she didn't have to look at her mother-in-law's face all day long.
He bowed calmly, "Yes, sir."
How could Madam Cheng be willing to do that? Suppressing the Liang family was her only pleasure in this mansion. Besides, it was unreasonable for a daughter-in-law not to set the rules in front of her mother-in-law.
"no!"
Cheng Yizhong ignored his mother's objection and smiled slightly, but this smile was more creepy than crying.
"Why not? Mother, you always say that although Da is my concubine, she is also a good daughter-in-law in your heart. She is still your daughter-in-law. In the future, you will have many things to do, so why not let Da serve you?"
Old Madam Cheng's face turned pale after hearing what her eldest son said, but she couldn't say a word in rebuttal.
After all, it's not easy to say such things.
If outsiders heard that she treated a concubine as a legitimate daughter-in-law, wouldn't she be laughed at?
Mrs. Da was unwilling to accept this and wanted to plead for herself. She didn't believe that the master was so cruel to her.
However, Cheng Yizhong didn't give her a chance to speak, and made the final decision: "This matter is settled."
"Master~" Da was heartbroken. She never expected that the man who had been with her since childhood would be so heartless.
Cheng Yizhong now feels annoyed when he sees Da. In the past, he couldn't stand seeing women cry, and was afraid that Da would run to his mother for help at any time, so he always went along with Da in everything, to the point that she, a concubine, developed such improper thoughts.
"Also, from now on, without my permission, Mrs. Da cannot step out of the old lady's yard."
Ding~
Cheng Yizhong's words were the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Da couldn't catch his breath, his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.
The two maids who had just responded to the order turned pale with fright when they saw that Da Xiaoniang had fainted.
How could Mrs. Cheng see her niece lying on the ground [catching a cold]? She glared at the two maids angrily and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help Miss Da into the inner room."
"Yes."
Old Lady Cheng gritted her teeth and pointed at her unfilial son, wanting to scold him, but she was more worried about Da's health.
Seeing the maid helping the person up and sending him to the inner room, he glanced at Liang who lowered her head and the unfilial son who didn't care, and finally followed him into the inner room angrily on his crutches.
Madam Cheng's behavior was like a basin of cold water, pouring over Cheng Yizhong's head.
He had never thought before that in his mother's heart, he, as a son, was not as good as a niece from another family.
His heart was cold, and a somewhat lonely smile appeared on his face. However, he quickly collected his thoughts and looked back at Liang.
"let's go."
It seems that there is no place for him as a son in this backyard.
That’s all. For the sake of the Cheng family, his wife and children, Cheng Yizhong solemnly reminded himself from now on not to make any more mistakes.
Liang followed with a leisurely and respectful gesture: "Yes, Master."
Today's scene really opened Liang's eyes, and also allowed her to see the man in front of her clearly.
Even if I see it clearly, what can I do?
Liang knew very well that all women in the world were confined to their families, bound by rites and filial piety. When they were young, they were daughters; when they grew up, they were wives; and when they were old, they were mothers.
Which woman can really make decisions for herself? From now on, without the troublesome mother-in-law, maybe life will be better!
Liang didn't dare to expect too much. She just hoped that Jing'er and Yi'er could grow up healthily in this troubled world. She wanted to create a place for her children in the Cheng family!
