Chapter 255: Peng was arrested

   Chapter 255 Peng was arrested

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

   In thought, the sedan chair entered the gate of Liu Mansion.

   Mrs. Peng got off 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? Is that dead girl still not giving up? Can't you 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 she raised the corners of her mouth proudly, swept away the sullen anger just now, and said with a smile: "You are right! It's such a rationale, 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, even if she thought about it or not. Fortunately, she didn't know it before. 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 agreed with a smile, and then hesitantly asked, "It's just that the eldest lady's dowry must 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 did not want Liu Zhilan to marry, but the most important thing in business is credibility. Lianwen, but one point came into his heart, the man didn't even have an elder, and Liu Zhilan was the mistress of the house when she married, so there's nothing wrong with it, the big deal is to give her a bigger dowry.

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

   Mrs Peng paid close 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 Laner?"

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

   Mrs Peng 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 Lan'er, besides, there is a younger sister under Lan'er, if you give it to her Dowry like this is not good for favoring 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?"

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

  Liu Chengji lowered his eyes slowly, "That's it, Jiayue (November) chooses a good day and let the man come to the house to welcome you."

   Mrs Peng returned to her yard and 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 possession of the dowry, the letter from the capital came. Because Ouyang shi didn't send her a message this time, Peng shi could only put those things aside for the time being, and carried the letter to the Chen residence again.

   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 taking care of my cousin is hard work!"

  Mamma murmured for a long time, then tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled dryly: "Serving the maid is the duty of a slave, how can it be hard! It's just that the madam is ill, 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 about it." Saying that, Mrs Peng approached Mammy and shoved the letter into Mammy's arms.

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

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

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

   After saying that, the guard snatched the letter that Mammy didn't have time to hide in his arms. Seeing this, Mrs Peng didn't understand anything. She stared blankly at Mamma and murmured, "You betrayed my cousin."

  Grandma'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.

   Mr. Peng is not stupid. With a second thought, he knew that something was wrong with Mr. Ouyang. Thinking of the robbery case of Chen's house that made people panic in those days, his face turned pale again.
