Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

"Wenwen, don't listen to your second sister's nonsense. We are a family. Even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected! Although you are married, it won't be long after all. You should find a way to get out of it as soon as possible. When the time comes, you will be welcome back home."

Mrs. Cheng Er still persuaded Cheng Wenwen in a gentle manner, saying that everyone had to work together in this matter. If anyone made a mistake, the whole family would be in trouble.

Madam Cheng had seen families that were implicated because the family of their daughter-in-law’s husband had its property confiscated, so the daughter-in-law who married out could not be ignored.

Let’s resolve this matter first, and we’ll deal with it later.

Although Mrs. Cheng's words sounded nice, Cheng Wenwen was not a fool and she did not believe Mrs. Cheng's words.

"Second Aunt, I know that I have implicated the family. To be on the safe side, you should write me a letter of severance of kinship! In case I cannot get a divorce letter, you can get away with it."

Cheng Wenwen pretended to be concerned for them. When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she thought it made sense and it would be better to have double insurance.

But even though she thought so in her heart, she still had to refuse on the surface: "Wenwen! I watched you grow up, how can I bear to let you suffer outside?"

Cheng Wenwen shook her head and said, "I know Second Aunt is worried about me, but I'm also afraid of getting into trouble with the family. If something really happens, the whole family won't be in danger. Besides, my grandmother is so old, and I don't want her to suffer in her later years."

Madam Cheng Er hurriedly pulled Cheng Wenwen to comfort her: "You are a good child, what you said makes sense. If you really get into trouble, our Cheng family can help you. If we get into trouble together, no one can help each other, which will be too difficult."

Cheng Wenwen deliberately wiped her tears and said, "Second Aunt is right. You should go back quickly and ask the clan elders to remove me from the family! And ask Second Uncle to write a letter of severance of kinship. This is the most appropriate way."

"Yes, yes, yes. I will go back and ask your uncle to do it. It has to be done quickly."

Madam Cheng Er pretended to stand up. She was too anxious at the moment, so she looked at Cheng Wenwen awkwardly and said, "Wenwen, don't be afraid. We are not really breaking off our relationship. It's just on the surface. We will help you when the time comes."

Cheng Wenwen nodded immediately and said solemnly, "Okay! Second Aunt, please write the severance letter and come to sign it for me. Make two copies. Don't make any mistakes. This matter concerns the safety of our Cheng family."

Madam Cheng Er said, "Okay, okay, I'll go back now and come back tomorrow. Take care of yourself and don't worry too much. What if Qi Shuo is okay?"

After saying this, Mrs. Cheng took Cheng Jinxiu and left quickly.

Cheng Wenwen waved goodbye to them before taking off her disguise.

Now, he could sever ties with the Cheng family immediately, and no longer be suppressed by Uncle Cheng as an elder.

But her situation has taken a turn for the better, while Qi Shuo is an unlucky man. She also hopes that nothing will happen to Qi Shuo, and that at least he can live well. Losing his official position and reputation are minor matters. Staying alive is the most important thing.

……

Mrs. Cheng took Cheng Jinxiu home, and all the way she kept praising Cheng Wenwen for her sensibleness.

Cheng Jinxiu said dissatisfiedly: "Who knows if she is pretending to be kind, or if she is saying one thing in front of you and another behind your back?"

"She has already asked us to write a letter of severance of kinship, how can she fake it? She is really thinking about the Cheng family and your grandmother's old age."

Mrs. Cheng sighed. Although their second family took advantage of everything and occasionally embezzled things from Cheng Wenwen's parents, she felt a little regretful at the moment. She blamed herself for being so bad to Cheng Wenwen in the past. Now she was actually thinking so much about the Cheng family.

Cheng Jinxiu said, "Mom, Cheng Wenwen is thinking about grandma! Not for us. She is closer to grandma, and dad is not born by grandma."

Madam Cheng raised her hand and patted Cheng Jinxiu's head and said, "Although he is not your biological child, your father was raised by your grandmother since he was a child. There is some family affection between them. You are so cruel, girl!"

"Mom! I'm telling the truth!"

Cheng Jinxiu was very dissatisfied. After Cheng Wenwen pretended to be a good person once, her mother started to speak for her?

Madam Cheng was too lazy to care about her and just told the driver to return home quickly and get the matter done quickly to avoid any complications.

After returning home, Mrs. Cheng Er told Master Cheng Er everything Cheng Wenwen had said today, word for word.

After hearing this, Master Cheng Er also felt quite guilty towards Cheng Wenwen.

"This matter! It's my fault. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have listened to others' advice and married Wenwen to the adopted son of the Duke of England. An adopted son is an adopted son after all. I can abandon him without any hesitation."

"Duke England is really going to abandon Qi Shuo like this?" asked Mrs. Cheng.

Master Cheng Er said, "I heard that it was Duke Ying who reported this matter to the court, and that's why His Majesty was furious and wanted to escort Qi Shuo to the capital."

Cheng Jinxiu was surprised and asked, "Isn't that the end of Qi Shuo?"

Master Cheng nodded: "He will most likely be beheaded. I just hope he won't implicate us."

Although Cheng Jinxiu was not happy that Cheng Wenwen was living a better life than herself, she felt a little regretful when she learned that Qi Shuo was going to die. Qi Shuo was a truly heroic and handsome man.

But think about it, there is no need to feel sorry, this man is not mine even if he is alive.

"Master, let's quickly remove Wenwen from the family tree and write a letter of severing ties. This will be safer." Mrs. Cheng reminded.

Master Cheng nodded and summoned the elders to discuss the matter that night.

The elders of the clan naturally had no objections, after all, this matter concerned the family.

But Master Cheng was still a little unhappy and said, "Why don't you tell Second Aunt about this matter?"

That is Cheng Wenwen’s grandmother.

The old lady doesn’t know about this yet!

Cheng Wenwen is the old lady's granddaughter. She would definitely not be happy about being suddenly removed from the list and might even make a fuss.

Therefore, Master Cheng Er said: "This matter concerns the family, and we cannot be careless. Let's take care of these things first. I will go and inform my mother."

The elders nodded: "Yes, yes!"

"This..." Master Cheng sighed and said to Master Cheng II, "Second Master, you handled this matter inappropriately. You married Wenwen to help you get an official position, but now that Wenwen's husband is in trouble, you are eager to distance yourself from it. You are really destroying the bridge after crossing it."

Master Cheng was being criticized, and it was difficult for him to defend himself at this moment. He was indeed the one who did the wrong thing. He could only say: "Things have come to this. I have no choice but to save our Cheng family first. If Wenwen can survive in the future, our Cheng family can also help her secretly, right?"

"It's the only way." Master Cheng continued to sigh, thinking that if he went home and told his wife about this, she would definitely scold his second cousin.

I feel sorry for my cousin, whose parents died when she was young and she has been left alone. She finally got married and had someone to rely on, but then she encountered such a thing. Now she is abandoned by her family and I don’t know what will happen to her in the future.
