Chapter 471: Drive them away
During lunch, Mrs. Liu didn't come out, so Mrs. Cheng sent it in for her.
As soon as the meal was put on the table, Liu Yunchang came back. As soon as he walked in the door, he shouted that the meal should be served quickly.
"Today I chased a thief through three streets, but I was exhausted." He said while wiping sweat, wearing the vest of a Jingzhao official.
Mrs. Cheng hurriedly asked her maid to bring a washbasin. Before anyone else could use their chopsticks, she filled a bowl of soup and put it in front of Liu Yunchang, then put several pieces of roast pork into his bowl.
"Mom, I want to eat too."
Cheng's son, named Liu Zhang, was eager for the plate of roast pork. Before Cheng could move his chopsticks, he had already stood up, pulled it in front of him, and stuffed a large piece of it into his mouth.
Mrs. Cheng didn't think anything was wrong, but said with concern: "Slow down, don't choke. Mom will give you another bowl of soup."
Liu Yunxiang and the others haven't even touched their chopsticks here, but they are already devouring the food there.
Liu Yunchang ate a few mouthfuls first to pad his stomach. Then he looked up and saw Liu Yunxiang, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Sister, when did you come back?"
Liu Yunxiang smiled lightly and said, "I just came back not long ago."
"I heard that you were secretly informed by the Seventh Prince, and then divorced by the third son of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion?"
Liu Yunxiang's eyes darkened, "Who did you listen to?"
"You don't need to listen to anyone, it's spreading all over the streets and alleys." Ms. Cheng sneered.
"They love to spread the word like this, but if they talk nonsense in front of me, I will tear her mouth to pieces." Liu Yunxiang said coldly.
These words were clearly meant for her, and Mrs. Cheng felt that she could not keep it off her face, and said with a strange look on her face: "Oh, the Seventh Highness is not dead, but no one will support you, but even if he is not dead, you are just without a name or status.
Yes, you really think you are the seventh imperial concubine...ah!"
Jin Yan had just served Liu Yunxiang some soup, but Liu Yunxiang splashed all of it on Mr. Cheng's face.
The soup wasn't too hot, but it still hurt when I splashed it on my face.
Mrs. Cheng screamed one after another, "My face! Ah! It's disfigured! It must be disfigured! Husband, my face hurts so much!"
When Liu Yunchang saw this, he slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Liu Yunxiang. As soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Yunheng blocked him.
"I heard from my mother that when my eldest brother saves enough money from his work, he will buy a house and move out of the palace." Liu Yunchang looked at Liu Yunchang, "It has been two years, so my eldest brother should have saved enough money, right?"
Liu Yunchang blushed and said, "Second brother, what do you mean, do you want to drive us away?"
Liu Yunheng sneered, "I'm asking my eldest brother and his family to move out as soon as possible. Our family likes to be clean and doesn't like too much noise."
"You...we are brothers, how can you say such things!"
"We are the eldest, and you are the second. We are one family, but we are separated by a lifetime."
"I……"
"We're not leaving!"
If she continued to cry, she would be driven away. Mrs. Cheng immediately wiped her tears and stood up.
"There are so many rooms in the house empty. We are not going anywhere, we are just staying at home. Uncle, don't think we are taking advantage. In the past two years when you were not at home, I have been taking care of my uncle and aunt.
This family cannot drive us away just because your sister has come back. There is no reason for this. We are the Liu family, and she is a married girl. If anyone has to move out, it should be her."
Liu Yunheng said with a smile: "This is the home of me and my sister, not your second wife. You must have lost your mind. If you want to act rogue, I will have to blast you away today."
Ms. Cheng burst into tears, "I'll go find my aunt for comment."
Just as Mrs. Cheng was about to leave, Nanny Gan who was beside Mrs. Liu came over. She first glanced at Liu Yunxiang angrily, and then looked at Liu Yunheng, "Sir, the family should still be harmonious. You have not been at home these past few years.
The girl doesn't have this family in her heart. Thanks to your sister-in-law's care, the family has not been broken up."
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she stopped crying and straightened her back.
Liu Yunchang has been away from home for the past few years and feels ashamed of his parents. Therefore, he cannot do too much to Liu Yunchang and his wife who have taken care of their parents.
"My sister cannot be wronged anyway, otherwise I will leave home with her."
"Oh, sir, you want to piss madam off to death." As she said this, Aunt Gan looked at Liu Yunxiang and said, "Girl, please stop making such a fuss and be calm."
Before Liu Yunxiang could speak, Liu Yunheng stopped and said, "Aunt Gan, why are you talking? Is it my sister who is causing trouble? It's obviously the eldest brother's family."
"Son..."
"Mother Gan, shut up. Your heart is crooked, and so is your mouth."
Nanny Gan was speechless and could only look at Mrs. Cheng, "I can only wrong you."
Mrs. Cheng pretended to be gentle and said: "I was wrong just now. My aunt and uncle should not treat me the same way. I will admit my mistake to you two."
Now that Cheng had admitted his mistake, Liu Yunchang could not really confront Liu Yunheng head-on, so he also admitted his mistake.
The meal continued. Liu Yunxiang didn't feel awkward, and Liu Yunchang's family didn't feel it at all. Liu Yunchang added another large bowl. After Liu Zhang finished a plate of roast pork, he pulled a plate of fish in front of him, and ended up eating it.
It got stuck too quickly and a thorn got stuck. I had to pour vinegar and cough and retching, and finally got it out.
Xingyi's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "He's so fat that he's as fat as a ball. He eats so much and he's not afraid that he won't be able to walk."
Liu Yunheng gave Xingyi a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks and said, "Let's eat more vegetables, and my uncle will teach you kung fu later."
Xingyi nodded, then clasped his fingers and said, "I learned from dad, Jiang Yuan, General Wei, and Zijin."
"Then uncle will test your skills later."
"good!"
Liu Yunchang's errand job in Jingzhao Mansion was found by Liu Shilang for him when he was not in prison. He suffered from the disadvantage of not knowing kungfu. He could only run behind a group of official servants every time. It was exhausting and a prisoner.
They were all caught by others, others took the rewards, and were laughed at and given free rein.
His thoughts moved and he said to Liu Yunheng: "Yunheng, what a little girl wants to do when learning Kung Fu, it is better to learn from Nuhong. You should teach Zhang'er. He is a boy, he can learn quickly, and he will be useful in the future."
Liu Yunheng curled his lips, "I don't mind teaching one more person, but your son is so fat that he can't even walk without breathing. He needs to lose weight first, and then he can lose thirty to forty pounds."
When Liu Zhang heard that he wanted to lose weight, he quit, "If I don't lose weight, I will eat meat every day!"
Mrs. Cheng was reluctant to wrong her son and said: "What's the use of learning those kung fu? We just need to be healthy."
Liu Yunheng didn't want to teach Liu Zhang, mainly because Cheng had too many things to do. He quickly changed the subject and said: "Hey, where is the second uncle? Why haven't I seen him in the past two days?"
The second roommate, Mr. Liu, was a lazy man. Liu Yunchang was scolded by Liu Zan several times, but at least he was willing to work as a yamen official. This Mr. Liu had enough to eat and drink every day, either basking in the sun or walking around in the streets.
"I said I went out to play with an old friend and it will take a few days to come back," Mrs. Cheng said.
Liu Yunheng just asked, but didn't feel reassured.
After lunch, Liu Yunxiang planned to go back to her courtyard to rest, but Mrs. Cheng insisted on leading her there.
"No need, I still remember the way." Liu Yunxiang said.
Mrs. Cheng smiled, "I'm afraid my aunt won't be able to find the right place."
"What's the meaning?"
