Chapter 218: Beating with a stick and then stuffing dates into the mouth
Just as the couple was about to continue, Mother He hurried in from outside and was about to report to them personally. Lin raised her hand to stop her, pointed at the man beside her with her fan, and directly ordered, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. The Marquis is not an outsider."

Mother He hurriedly and respectfully reported to the two masters: "My Lord, Madam, Master Su Liu has arrived."

When Zhenwei Hou heard that the person he was waiting for had finally arrived, he no longer cared about He Mama's inappropriate attitude. He waved his hand and said, "Tell him to get in right away!"

Mrs. Lin raised her chin slightly and gave Mother He a look that said go away.

After Mother He left in a hurry, Lin looked at Marquis Zhenwei and said, "My Lord, when the child comes, we can talk properly."

The one who answered Lin was Marquis Zhenwei who snorted coldly.

This is what Cheng Su saw when he followed He's mother in.

Being used to being cautious in this mansion, Cheng Su was tense and followed the rules, so he hurriedly greeted the guests.

"My nephew greets my uncle and aunt. Hello, uncle and aunt."

"Ah."

Marquis Zhenwei was still reserved and just nodded, but Lin was unusually enthusiastic.

“Haha, Liu Lang, there’s no need to be so polite. Come on, why don’t you serve tea to your Liu Ye and take a seat.”

As Lin's voice fell, the maid waiting in the room moved immediately. However, Marquis Zhenwei became a little impatient. After all, it was a waste of half the night to be delayed here. He didn't have that much time to waste any more.

Without waiting for Cheng Su to sit down, the chief Zhenwei Hou got straight to the point.

"Liu Lang came back late today. Where did he go to have fun?"

When Cheng Su heard the wrong tone, he quickly straightened his expression and bowed to Zhenwei Hou, "Uncle, why do you say that? I just took my wife and children out for a walk today, and I didn't do anything to disgrace the family reputation."

Marquis Zhenwei glared, and seeing Cheng Su's reckless look, he became furious, "Is this what I'm asking?"

Cheng Su looked extremely innocent, "Who are you, uncle?"

"Hmph, let me ask you a question, and you should answer me honestly. What is your relationship with the Xinhai Pavilion that just emerged in the past few days?"

"Xinhai Pavilion? What's the relationship? Uncle, why don't I understand what you are saying?"

"Don't understand? You sly boy, don't play dumb! I heard it with my own ears. Today you took your family to the Xinhai Pavilion, and walked on the VIP road that ordinary people can't afford to walk on. The servants inside even respected you. Liu Lang, your surname is Cheng, and you are a member of my Cheng family. We are both descendants of the Marquis' Mansion. If you have any ability, you should not hide it. You only care about yourself and ignore the family!"

These words were too harsh, and Cheng Su quickly knelt down and apologized.

"Uncle, you have seen me grow up, how could you not know what kind of person I am? I really don't understand what you said today! Yes, I went to Xinhai Pavilion today and took the VIP channel, but that was a gift from Mr. Lu, and I was also helped by others. As for the servants respecting me, that is absolutely not the case! I guess you have never been to Xinhai Pavilion. If you have been there, you will know that everyone who takes the VIP channel is very respectful. Uncle, I am wronged!"

"Oh! You are still quibbling and refusing to admit it. How would I know if someone hadn't seen it with their own eyes?"

Zhen Weihou angrily waved his sleeves at this stubborn and cunning nephew.

Cheng Su's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged as he quickly and carefully recalled all the details of the day.

After thinking it over, he realized that he didn't meet any acquaintances, and he also confirmed that he had never done anything improper, so it was just a mere correction and nothing to worry about, Cheng Su raised his neck and said stubbornly.

"Who is it? Who has seen you accusing others with such lies? Do you dare to confront me face to face?" He wanted to see who was causing trouble behind the scenes.

Zhen Weihou didn't expect Cheng Su to be so stubborn. He was so angry that he pointed at him and shouted, "Liu Lang, what do you mean?"

At the same time, in a brightly lit courtyard in the backyard, Cheng Lin looked at the newcomer and asked anxiously, "Are you sure that Lao Liu has entered the upper courtyard?"

The visitor was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She looked charming but had a pretty face. She bowed to Cheng Lin and responded straightforwardly.

"Yes, Third Master, I saw it with my own eyes, there is no mistake."

The person who came was Jin Yu, a second-class maid in Lin's courtyard. She replied without delay and reported the result she had waited for half the night.

Cheng Lin was very satisfied and nodded to the girl.

"Well, I understand. You better keep your mouth shut about what happened today. I know you are a good person. I will remember your merit this time. I will ask mother to ask you to come over and serve tea to Third Grandma. Now go back to the upper room and continue to keep a close eye on me. If there is anything, come and report to me. Remember, don't let anyone find out."

"Yes, I will do the work, Master San, rest assured."

After getting the promise, the maid who lived in the upper house but had her heart set on marrying up as a rich man left happily.

Looking at Jin Yu's receding back, and then looking towards the upper room, Cheng Lin suddenly smiled, but he didn't know that the atmosphere in the upper room was tense at this moment. Lin suddenly spoke up and sold out Cheng Lin, the illegitimate child whom she had long disliked.

"My Lord, calm down, let's talk it over. As for Liu Lang, I think San Lang is not talking nonsense..."

When the voice fell, the uncle and nephew were both dumbfounded.

The illegitimate child of an enemy from the next room and the illegitimate child of a husband are not good people. She wants the good things, and as for the rest, let them fight each other. She is just the oriole behind the mantis.

Lin smiled secretly.

When Zhenwei Hou saw his wife explode, he was furious and warned loudly, "Lin!"

This stupid, annoying woman, why did she expose her own son? Isn't this going to cause a rift between the brothers?
Lin was not afraid of Marquis Zhenwei. She had listened to him coaxing her before, but it was only for the sake of the title and her son that she had no choice. Otherwise, who did he think he was?

Lin sneered in her heart, but she flinched on purpose, pretending to be puzzled, "Why is the Marquis so angry for no reason? I am doing this for your own good, so I didn't say anything."

"You, you! Huh, huh..." He was so angry! But now was not the time to worry about these things. The important thing was... "Forget it!"

Marquis Zhenwei glared at Lin, flicked his sleeves at her, and then looked at Cheng Su, who was gritting his teeth, hating the third brother Cheng Lin, and secretly thinking of a countermeasure.

"Su'er, let's not talk about that extra stuff. Uncle just wants to ask you, is this how you disobey your elders?"

Cheng Su didn't dare to respond, and he bowed down quickly, "Uncle, please calm down. I dare not."

Seeing Cheng Su surrender and act like a submissive boy, Zhen Weihou sighed but secretly cursed him for being ignorant of the current situation.

But now that Lin had intervened, in order to protect his beloved son, Marquis Zhenwei could not continue to be tough, so he took a step back and started to give in after giving his son a beating.

"Alas! It's my uncle's fault..."

He stepped forward and helped Cheng Su up personally, then Zhen Weihou helplessly patted Cheng Su's shoulders again and again.

"Sixth son, when you came back home, your uncle told you that blood ties cannot be severed. That's why your uncle stood up for you when you suffered injustice at home. Later, you came to me and asked me to start your education. As you are a family, did your uncle ever say no to you? How did your uncle treat you differently from Dalang and Sanlang? My child, don't you know what your uncle is thinking?"

What Zhenwei Hou said was very moving and penetrating, but Cheng Su secretly curled his lips and listened to the man continue.

"Sixth brother, you must always remember that you are a member of the Cheng family! You know the current situation in the mansion. In troubled times, the Marquis's family is also struggling to make a living. Otherwise, your uncle would not have wronged you to live in such a cramped courtyard... Child, your uncle is still struggling in the court and being bullied. If you have any connections, and you really have a close relationship with Lu Er and have connections with Xinhai Pavilion, please tell us and introduce him to the family, and help your uncle, okay?"
