The Male Wife

Chapter 104 Open Your Eyes Until Dawn

That night, the candlelight in the study room next door to Pei Cheng reflected the two shadows in the paper window until midnight. At midnight, the candlelight in the study room went out, Jiang Linzhi went back to the room, and Cheng Yi lived in the guest room next door. .

Pei Cheng almost kept his eyes open until dawn. He was used to going to bed after nightfall, but it was too late to wait for Jiang Linzhi tonight, and he missed his usual time to fall asleep, so when he wanted to sleep, he was already a little late. Sleepiness is gone.

The next day, Cheng Yi and Jiang Linzhi went out for a long time, saying that the cockfighting field would be handed over to Pei Cheng for management, but Pei Cheng had never been involved in all the cockfighting fields except for going to see the cockfighting field at the beginning. .

It is only now that Pei Cheng realizes that the person he was looking for in the cockfighting arena was not himself, but Jiang Linzhi.

It's just that for some reason, Jiang Linzhi gave up this opportunity to himself.

Pei Cheng suddenly felt that throwing the cockfighting field in his hands was a hot potato, and he didn't want it, but Pei Cheng knew that it was not his turn to make decisions.

That afternoon, Jiang Linzhi and Cheng Yi came back from the cockfighting arena, followed by the steward of the cockfighting arena. The three of them went into the study to talk about the cockfighting arena, but they didn't propose to call Pei Cheng.

Pei Cheng didn't mind either. After some things were figured out, he wouldn't take them to heart. He planned to personally plant the few flowers and plants that had just been delivered to the house in his backyard, but before the planting started, the servant ran in, Said that someone was looking for him outside.

He went out to have a look, and found that it was the manager of his dim sum shop. As soon as the manager saw Pei Cheng, he said bluntly that the accountant ran away with this year's money.

Pei Cheng almost overturned the table in the main hall.

Seeing that Pei Cheng's expression was not right, the steward went up and continued, "Since yesterday, people have been running to our shop door to make trouble from time to time. The operation of the shop was not good during this period of time, but in the end we encountered this situation." This kind of thing, no one will do business with us.”

"Bastard?" Pei Cheng felt dizzy, gritted his teeth, and stood up abruptly, "Can you recognize who those people are?"

"I can recognize them. They are the bastards on our street. I have also reported to the government, but... but the official seems to know those bastards. They just let them go after a few lessons. This is hard work." Our store." After the steward finished speaking, he looked at Pei Cheng cautiously, "Young Master Pei, we also know that you have moved and have no time to take care of these things, but now things are getting worse and worse, and the accountant has also run away. There is no money to buy goods.”

Pei Cheng pursed his lips and stretched out his hand, otherwise the manager would continue talking. After a while, Pei Cheng stood up and said, "I'm going to the government, you go to the store... No, you go with me."

The steward nodded, he knew that the magistrate was Jiang Sanye, maybe it would be useful for Pei Cheng to come forward, after all they used to be a family.

Pei Cheng really planned to go to Mr. Jiang to solve this matter, he didn't change his clothes, he just went out without telling anyone, even the housekeeper in the house only knew that Pei Cheng was going to report the crime.

After Jiang Linzhi finished talking about the last thing before the opening of the cockfighting farm, he came out for dinner, but he didn't see Pei Cheng during the dinner, and immediately turned cold.

Pei Cheng ran to beat the drums.

The yamen servant brought Pei Cheng in, Pei Cheng pursed his lips and walked in, and the steward followed behind him.

When Third Master Jiang, who was sitting behind the desk, saw Pei Cheng appearing, his eyes suddenly became complicated, "Who is under the hall. "

"Cao Min Pei Cheng, the owner of the dim sum shop on Chengxi Street, came to report the case and begged the government master to take care of Cao Min."

"Say."

"There are two complaints. The first is the store accountant absconding with the money, and the second is the local hooligans from the west of the city who have repeatedly come to harass the store, making the store unable to operate normally." After Pei Cheng finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Mr. Jiang.

It stands to reason that most people in this court would not dare to look directly at the lord of the government. This is not only because of fear, but also because it is disrespectful, but Pei Cheng did it, but Jiang Sanye ignored Pei Cheng.

The master standing aside noticed it.

Third Master Jiang: "Master..."

The master took a step forward, knowing that the third master Jiang should give orders.

After a while, a few yamen servants went to the western streets of the city to look for those ruffians who were making trouble, and they caught them and punished them.

Jiang Sanye met Pei Cheng alone.

"You don't have to take this matter too seriously." Jiang Sanye didn't know how to comfort Pei Cheng.

"I know." Pei Cheng interrupted Third Master Jiang, "It must have been done by the Jiang family."

Jiang Sanye froze and acquiesced.

The expression on Pei Cheng's face became even colder. In fact, he had already guessed it.I just finished pruning Hu Xiayun on the front foot, but my shop was tricked by the same method on the back foot, and I don't need to think about who did it.

Jiang Sanye knew that Pei Cheng had misunderstood, and he said, "You misunderstood. They didn't know that you did that thing. It was mother, my mother knew that the shop was you, she was just angry, so will send someone to do it."

Pei Cheng stared at Third Master Jiang, the latter's eyes dodged, and Pei Cheng suddenly smiled, "Master Jiang, how did you know? Did you know that your mother was going to attack my shop, so... You took it off a long time ago, but you didn't remind me."

"I'll get someone to give you that money later. I guess I can't find that cashier." Jiang Sanye let out a deep breath. After a day and a night, he probably won't be able to find that person in his life. It's also strange. He, he was too neglectful, "As for those bastards, I will lock them up for a while and give them a little bit of trouble."

"But what's the use of it." Pei Cheng's lips were a little pale, "Third Master, let me ask you, does the old lady know that you like me?"

Third Master Jiang was startled, then nodded slowly but firmly.

"She knows, no wonder she can't wait to let me go." Pei Cheng smiled bitterly, his face was full of bitterness and bewilderment, and the corners of his eyes were a little red, "Now I have left Jiang's house, and now I am going to buy my shop. It's hard to say in the future..."

Jiang Sanye stood up abruptly, walked around the house a few times, finally stood in front of Pei Cheng, squatted down, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Don't be afraid. I will tell my mother when I go back. Let me assure you that what happened today will never happen again, okay?"

Pei Cheng froze, then relaxed, not resisting Jiang Sanye approaching him.

He remembered that some time ago, someone told him "Don't be afraid", but the difference from Jiang Sanye's gentleness was that that person was indifferent and rigid, and he would get angry at every turn.

Jiang Sanye looked at Pei Cheng with gentle eyes.

Pei Cheng looked at Mr. Jiang suspiciously, and said, "Okay, thank you Mr. Jiang.

"No need." Mr. Jiang probably realized that his behavior was overstepped. He stood up, straightened his waist, and said, "You go back first, just wait for my news."

Pei Cheng got up and left, "Then I'll go back first."

"En." Jiang Sanye watched Pei Cheng leave, called his personal servant, and said, "Go to my cashier to get the money, and hand it over to Pei Cheng's steward, understand?"

The domestic servant doesn't really understand Jiang Sanye very well, he knows that Pei Cheng is a gentle trap, but why does he still stubbornly fall into it.

The steward is still in the yamen, one is waiting for money, and the other is because the artist's painting has not been finished.

Pei Cheng went back first, and he walked back. As soon as he walked out the door, the panic and horror that had appeared on Pei Cheng's face were gradually replaced by indifference.

He didn't want to have any more entanglements with Jiang Sanye, but the old lady came to trouble him first, so he can't be blamed for starting with Jiang Sanye.

Pei Cheng told himself repeatedly in his heart that it was the old lady who provoked him first, so he couldn't blame himself.

When Pei Cheng walked back slowly, it was completely dark. He stood at the door of the house and walked in. When he just walked to the main hall, he saw Jiang Linzhi still talking to Cheng in a low voice. Pei Cheng's ears were sharp, and he could hear them talking about hiring staff for the cockfight from a distance, and Pei Cheng kept walking.

Pei Cheng, who originally wanted to avoid these two people, heard Jiang Linzhi's voice, and Jiang Linzhi said coldly: "It's so late, where have you been?"

Pei Cheng heard the strong hostility in the man's words, and sneered. According to Jiang Linzhi's ability, how could he not know where he went?

Most importantly, Pei Cheng couldn't get angry.When Jiang Linzhi stayed with Cheng Yi from morning to night, why didn't he think about whether he would be angry?

"Something happened in the shop. I'm going out to do business with the shop." Pei Cheng said calmly, without even looking at Jiang Linzhi and Cheng Yi, he was about to leave.

This time Cheng saw the hostility in his eyes, Pei Cheng could see it clearly.

Cheng Yi stood up, "Brother Jiang and I are talking about the cockfighting field. In the future, Mrs. Jiang will be handed over to Madam Jiang for the bookkeeping of the cockpit field. Why don't Madam Jiang sit down and listen?"

Pei Cheng looked over, just in time to see Cheng Yi smiling at his expression, and smiled slightly, "There are dedicated personnel to take care of the cockfighting arena up and down, I'm just a display shopkeeper, so I don't need to take care of so much."

Cheng Yi frowned, deliberately provoking him, "Mrs. Jiang, how can I trust you with your attitude?"

Jiang Linzhi frowned and looked at Cheng Yi displeased.

Cheng Yi's scalp was numb and he didn't dare to say any more.

"In that case, I think it's better to forget about it." Pei Cheng didn't want Cheng Yi, a stranger, to ride wildly on his neck. He could see that Cheng Yi's hostility towards him should be because of Jiang. Rin's.

Pei Cheng is really tired of this.

The dim sum shop is the painstaking effort he has put in in the first half of his life, and it is also the hard work he has put in the most in his life. He doesn't want to be destroyed so easily.But Pei Cheng is incapable, he is incapable of confronting the old lady.

Dim sum shops are of great significance to Pei Cheng, and he doesn't want to abandon his hard work for the sake of other people's shops.Even if one's own hard work is not worth mentioning in the eyes of others.

Jiang Linzhi didn't know what Pei Cheng was thinking, so he looked coldly, "What are you messing around with again?"

"...It's not me messing around." Pei Cheng lowered his eyes and walked away.

Cheng Yi's face brightened, and he was about to say something when Jiang Linzhi raised his foot to catch up.

Cheng's eyes were full of gloom.

As long as Pei Cheng is here, the second master's thoughts will be diverted.

This is what he cannot allow.
