Chapter 020: Protecting the male wife
However, Pei Cheng remained unmoved, still kneeling on the ground. His back was very upright, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
It was said that the man has gold under his knees, but he didnât care about it at all.*
*(T/N: In ancient times, they believed a man should never easily keel down especially in front of people other than his parents and teacher.)
The Old Lady said in a coaxing manner, but Pei Cheng didnât react at all. He still knelt on the ground and refused to get up. That kind of situation clearly made the Old Lady embarrassed. So the Old Lady couldnât help it and patted the table angrily, almost overturned the hot tea on the table with great force, âPei Cheng, what do you mean by this!â
Hu XiaYun held a handkerchief in her hand. This handkerchief was very beautiful, but it was being squeezed again and again with great force by its owner, losing its original beauty.
This Pei Cheng was really the most damn existence.
Footsteps sounded outside the hall, and everyoneâs eyes were attracted by the person at the door. Pei Cheng did not turn around, still maintaining the current posture.
âMother, what makes you so angry?â Master Jiang raised his foot into the hall, his eyes swept across the hall, and everyone involuntarily straightened up their backs a bit.
Master Jiangâs gaze fell on Pei Chengâs back, and his gaze didnât stay for a long time, it was just a short moment.
Master Jiang quickly retracted his gaze from Pei Cheng, and finally stopped at the two six-year-old boys who were still clenching their teeth and kneeling on the ground.
The Old Lady breathed a sigh of relief in secret. If the Eldest didnât show up in time, she really didnât know how to end it.
*(T/N: Parents usually call their children in the order of their birth, which literally could be translated as: Eldest (son/daughter), Second (son/daughter), Third (son/daughter), ........, Youngest (son/daughter).
I believe it is like that in most Asian countries, or maybe not, but at least my parents do this.đ )
After all, these two little guys really had a hand in Jiang YanZhiâs accident. If she didnât give an explanation, it would be difficult for her to gain a foothold in Hua Cheng City in the future.
Pei Chengâs knees began to faintly sore. There was an old problem in his knee, which he had had for a long time. He thought that he would start to recover his body slowly this year, but now it seemed that this old problem would be more serious this winter.
âWhat are you doing, kneeling on the ground?â Master Jiang sat at the bottom left seat of the Old Lady, Hu XiaYun sat beside him, Qiâer and SongWu knelt on the ground facing him.
From Master Jiangâs perspective, he could see the expressions on the faces of Qiâer, SongWu, and Pei Cheng.
The Old Lady snorted coldly, her tone softened a little, but what she said was still very offensive. âSongWu pushed YanZhi into the lake. Qiâer felt that he was partly responsible for this matter. So, he followed SongWu and knelt down. What do you say, itâs such a cold day and both the palm and the back of the hand are made of flesh.......â
The Old Ladyâs words were very prejudiced, and everyone present could tell that she was partial to Qiâer.
The eyes of the woman in the blue dress became even redder.
Master Jiang uttered lukewarmly, and he didnât mean to express his opinion about Qiâerâs kneeling behavior, âThen, Pei Cheng is kneeling for what?â
Pei Chengâs face was pale, but the Old Lady thought he was scared and she was finally satisfied with it, and relentlessly gave Pei Cheng a way out. âWhat are you doing kneeling on the ground on such a cold day? What do you have to say, letâs get up and talk about it.â
Pei Cheng didnât move, his face was pale, and he gritted his teeth. After a pause, he said, âI beg the Old Lady to seek justice for YanZhi.â
The Old Lady was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth.
Master Jiang overtook before the Old Lady opened her mouth, looked at Pei Cheng, and said, âHow do you want mother to seek justice for YanZhi, so that you can be satisfied?â
Pei Chengâs expression remained unchanged, and he was not afraid of what Master Jiang said.
This group of people. Since they dared to touch Jiang YanZhi, he was also not afraid to fall out with them now.
But when Pei Cheng was about to speak, he heard a familiar footstep behind him.
Jiang LinZhiâs cold voice was filled with unbearable anger. âThen, how does Eldest Brother plan to solve this problem to satisfy us?â
Pei Cheng swiftly looked up.
In the next second, a warm black cloak was directly covered over Pei Chengâs shoulder. Pei Cheng tilted his head slightly, just in time to see the manâs cold and stern profile.\n\n
