Zhou hurried to the hall and saw Cheng Zongyang sitting at the head seat with a gloomy face.

Zhou stepped forward cautiously: "Master, what happened?"

Cheng Zongyang suddenly locked his eyes on her, and Zhou felt her blood freeze.

"O-Master..."

"Follow me!" Cheng Zongyang stood up and walked towards the backyard.

There were many servants in the mansion, and they were all talking nonsense. Although he was furious, he was still rational.

After returning to Qiu Shui Garden, Zhou dismissed the servants and closed the door.

"Master, what happened?" Zhou stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong? You still dare to ask me what's wrong!"

"I handed the Prime Minister's Mansion over to you, and this is how you manage it?"

Zhou said aggrievedly: "Master, everything is fine in the mansion. If you find anything unsatisfactory, I will immediately ask someone to..."

"Look at your good son! He is so bold that he dares to open a brothel!" Cheng Zongyang lowered his voice, but his voice was full of rage.

"What?!" Zhou's eyes widened.

"Impossible!" Zhou immediately responded, "I have never owed Chuan Ge'er money, how could he open a brothel?"

Cheng Zongyang slammed the deed of Changtian Tower on the table: "It's written in black and white, how can you wrongly accuse him?"

"This..." Zhou was anxious and angry.

When Zhou saw the words "Changtian Pavilion", she immediately said, "Wasn't it said before that Yun Ge was the owner of Changtian Pavilion? How come..."

If she really had to choose between a son and a daughter, she would hope the name would be Yun Ge.

If it was Yun Ge, her reputation would be ruined and she would go to a temple to hide for a few years. With the status of the Prime Minister, it would not be a problem to find her a rich and noble family to live a stable life.

Chuan Ge'er is her life. If Chuan Ge'er is gone or has a stain on his reputation, all her plans will be in vain.

Cheng Zongyang said, "Perhaps he was followed when he was collecting debts. People outside only knew that the owner of Changtian Tower was from the Xiangfu, but for some reason the rumor became Yun Ge."

Zhou gritted her teeth. If this was really a brothel opened by her son, then did her son...

Brother Chuan is only ten years old!

If that's true, that person is ruined!

"Master, what should we do?" Zhou was really panicked.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the panicked Zhou with a serious look.

People who come from small families just don't want to take on responsibilities.

If Cheng Changchuan is really a homosexual, wouldn't that mean his Cheng family would be extinct?

Pei Yunqing passed away, and many colleagues have come to him recently to ask about his opinion.

At this time, he really wanted to find a wife who was of equal status to him.

He is in his prime and can still have children.

When Zhou saw him staring at her and wondering what he was thinking, she felt uneasy.

After a long while, Cheng Zongyang finally spoke: "I will find a scapegoat, and this matter will be over. From now on, you must keep a close eye on that useless thing!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Zhou's face brightened up: "Don't worry, Master."

The master only has Chuan Ge'er as his son, and she knows that the master will not ignore him.

When Chuan Ge'er grows up a little, she will give him a concubine to prevent him from going astray.

Zhou didn't see Cheng Zongyang's disappointed look, and she didn't know what Cheng Zongyang was planning.

Baichuan Academy is the highest institution of learning in Dongling, located in the suburbs of Beijing.

An hour later, Cheng Changchuan was taken back.

"Sir, the master is waiting for you in the study." The butler stepped forward and said.

Cheng Changchuan walked towards the study while complaining: "The annual exam is coming up soon. What is so important that I have to go back home?"

The steward hesitated to speak.

He probably guessed it.

The master has been investigating Changtian Tower recently. When he heard that Changtian Tower was sealed off, he was furious when he came back and sent people to bring the young master back. There must be a connection.

"Young master, the master has been in a bad mood these days. You, you should be careful with what you say when you go in later." This was all he could remind him.

Cheng Changchuan didn't take this seriously at all.

Although his father was strict, he still valued him because he was the only son of the prime minister's mansion.

He swaggered towards the study, and before he even entered the door he shouted, "Dad, I'm back!"

As soon as I opened the door, a teacup flew towards me.

Cheng Changchuan was not as lucky as Cheng Yunge, and blood immediately gushed out of his forehead.

He took a step back suddenly, touched his forehead, and saw blood on his hand. His face was full of disbelief.

"father?"

"Evil creature! Kneel down!"

Cheng Changchuan knelt at the door as he was told, feeling dizzy.

"You think it's not embarrassing enough? Come in and kneel down!"

Cheng Changchuan got up tremblingly, entered the study, knelt in the middle of the room, looked at the person sitting at the top with fear in his eyes, and his usual playful smile was no longer on his face.

"Tell me! What's going on in Changtian Tower?"

"Changtian Tower?" Cheng Changchuan looked confused.

Cheng Zongyang threw the title deed directly to him.

"You are so brave! I have high hopes for you, and you dare to put your mind on these things!"

Cheng Changchuan picked up the deed, took a look at it, and finally found the problem.

"Dad, this land deed is not mine!"

"It's not yours? You don't recognize your own handwriting?!"

"Dad, this is really not mine!"

He also guessed that Changtian Tower was not a good place, which made his father so furious.

But he really didn't know where this Changtian Tower was.

"It's not yours. The handwriting on it is yours. The manager of the brothel said that the owner is a young man in his teens. Combined with the rumors from a while ago, who else could it be but you!"

Hearing the words "xiaoguanguan", Cheng Changchuan's face turned pale.

"I swear, my son has nothing to do with Changtian Tower!"

Cheng Changchuan was filled with indignation.

Who is framing him?

If this gets out, how can he pass the imperial examination?

Seeing that he did not repent, Cheng Zongyang said coldly: "Get out and kneel!"

Cheng Changchuan covered his forehead and knelt outside the study.

It had just stopped after the snow, but the cold wind was still blowing across, blowing directly into people's faces.

Cheng Changchuan knelt in the snow, the blood from his forehead flowed down his cheeks and dyed most of his white student uniform red.

"Dad, my son is innocent!"

When Zhou rushed over and saw this scene, she felt her heart break.

"Brother Chuan!"

She quickly took off her cloak and wrapped it around Cheng Changchuan, then shouted angrily at the servants, "Is he dead? Can't you see that the young master is injured? Call the palace doctor!"

The servant bowed his head and replied, "Madam Zhou, it's, it's the master who didn't allow the palace doctor to be summoned..."

Zhou quickly got up and went into the study.

"Master, Chuan'er is only ten years old! How could you be so cruel? And you made him kneel in the snow. He is your only son!" Zhou cried.

"Shut up! You are just a loving mother who spoils her son..."

"Bang!" There was a sound outside the door, followed by a commotion.

"Someone come quickly! The young master has fainted!"

"quick!"

In the end, Cheng Zongyang couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked someone to help Cheng Changchuan back to his room and called a palace doctor.

He only said that after he recovered from his injuries, he would be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Cheng Yunge, who had been hiding in the house, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news, knowing that the matter was now a thing of the past.

She then said to the maid, "Let's go see big brother."

……

Upon hearing the news from the capital, Cheng Jiuyuan curled his lips.

She didn't expect anything to happen with this matter.

Three feet frozen, not a cold day.

There is no wall that is impenetrable. No matter whether Changtian Tower is related to Cheng Changchuan or Cheng Yunge, people in the capital may not talk about it on the surface, but they will never forget it.

If there are many small things like this, they can also reflect the problem from the side.

It would be even more difficult for Cheng Yunge and his sister to have a good reputation.

But she didn't expect that Cheng Changchuan's name was on the title deed of Changtian Tower.

The relationship between Cheng Changchuan and Cheng Yunge is not as deep as imagined. At least Cheng Yunge doesn't have much affection for her elder brother.

I wonder what her selfish father would think when he sees Cheng Changchuan like this.

If he gave up Cheng Changchuan, he would not have thought of making Zhou his legal wife.

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips and smiled again.

"I didn't expect my elder brother to be so brave." Cheng Jiuyuan said with a smile.

Pei Xiu glanced at Cheng Jiuyuan and asked curiously, "How do you know that Changtian Tower is related to the brother and sister?"

"Ah? I don't know. I just saw my sister wearing men's clothes once, and heard her mention 'Changtian Tower' to the maid beside her." Cheng Jiuyuan opened her blinking almond eyes with an innocent look on her face.

"Uncle, did you release that news?"

Pei Xiu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and did not answer.

It was he who spread the news that Cheng Yunge was the owner of Changtian Tower. He just heard Yuan'er mention it, so he went to check it out. Unexpectedly, he got an unexpected gain.

Zhou Jingxian was just a pawn. The one who really attacked my younger sister was Zhou Yurong, so he naturally wouldn't let her go!

The pair of children are the foundation of Zhou Yurong's life. Don't blame Pei Xiu for being cruel. He will stop at nothing to avenge his little sister!

But his niece is still young, and he will definitely not let her see these ugly things.

"Yuan'er, we will be home tomorrow at the latest. Go to bed early tonight because we still have to travel tomorrow. Don't kick the quilt at night."

After saying that, he stood up, rubbed her head, and walked out of the room with his long legs.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at her uncle's back for a long time.

I'm sorry uncle, Yuan'er took advantage of you.

Since her grandfather and uncle wanted her to grow up carefree, she tried her best to play the role of this ignorant seven-year-old girl.
