Chapter 64: Is this okay? He is a ruthless person
Marquis Chengguo glanced at his two sons and suddenly his expression calmed down.
At this time, the gentlemen on the stage were performing, and Yuan Ruan's eyes would always wander to Cheng Weining in the audience.
Cheng Weining tried hard to straighten his back and appear reliable, but Yuan Ruan would look away again.
The court officials below the stage looked around and their eyes always fell on Cheng Guohou, but Cheng Guohou remained quiet and did not move.
After the gentlemen finished their performances and Yuan Ruan was about to present a wreath, Cheng Weining became anxious.
He was fond of the Second Princess and had always liked her since she entered the palace as a companion to the Third Prince.
Cheng Weining didn't want to cause any more regrets.
He took the initiative to step forward and exchanged glances with his friend next to him.
The man understood what he meant and stepped forward, saying loudly, "What! You took out this evidence to prove that it was you who saved the second princess who startled the carriage, not your brother Cheng Yian, right? Your brother set you up like this, he is so bad?!"
Cheng Weining didn't expect his friend to speak so loudly. He was embarrassed for a moment, but still said firmly: "Yes. If my father can't give me justice, I would rather take my mother away from Chengguo Marquis Mansion and start my own business."
Everyone:? ? ?
Why did you suddenly start making false testimony?
Suddenly a court official slapped his thigh and said, "What a talented person!"
As soon as he said this, he exposed Cheng Yian's true face in a "reasonable" way, which made Cheng Weining decide to leave the mess of Chengguohou Mansion. This directly dispelled Yuan Ruan's concerns about the unreliable family environment and was equivalent to helping with a wave of marriages.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded:
[Oh my god. It turns out that Cheng Weining has evidence to prove his mistake! Host, the thing you were worried about before, that your scumbag father and brother would secretly mess things up, doesn't exist anymore! Vote for him! Vote for him! This is a match made in heaven!]
Yuanruan: [Yes. But will Chengguohou agree? ]
The court officials all turned their heads to look at Marquis Chengguo.
Say yes quickly!
At this time, the Marquis of Chengguo calmed down, took a big step forward, knelt in front of the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to talk about my family affairs here, but my youngest son has mentioned justice, so I'll just finish everything at once. I request your permission to let Cheng Weining inherit my title."
Cheng Weining looked at Cheng Guohou in disbelief. His father valued the title first and his elder brother second. Even if he wanted to punish his elder brother, why did he pass the title directly to him? Wouldn't it be enough to establish a crown prince?
Courtiers: !!!
The emperor narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to nod, Yuan Ruan's inner voice sounded again:
[Tong'er, isn't your error a bit too big? You said that Marquis Chengguo asked for Cheng Yian to inherit the title and was very kind to him, which led to the tragedy of 30,000 soldiers. How come Marquis Chengguo wanted Cheng Weining to inherit the title here? ]
The system was also puzzled: [Strange, this shouldn’t be the case. ]
The court officials stared at Cheng Guohou with dead eyes: You are about to arouse suspicion from the small country! Clean up the mess quickly!
The emperor also narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why?"
Cheng Guohou suddenly burst into tears and said, "I, I am so confused! When I thoroughly investigated the flower boat troupe, I was complacent that I was fine. But, I didn't expect that the flower boat owner had an affair with my concubine twenty years ago! Cheng Yian, he, he is not my biological son!"
Courtiers: !!!
Oh shit, is this true?
Yuanruan: [System! Why didn’t you tell us about such a big melon! ]
System: [I don’t know either! But there are indeed many small things on Chengguohou, and I didn’t have time to click them. ]
Cheng Yian, who had just woken up, seemed to be struck by lightning and shouted: "This is impossible! My mother and you have been childhood sweethearts. There is no way we would betray you!"
Marquis Chengguo said coldly, "It's true! I didn't want to believe it at first, after all, it was found out through the Second Prince's informant, but the Crown Prince just came over and told me that it was credible. With the Crown Prince and the Second Prince as witnesses, I, this old minister, dare not disbelieve it."
The corners of the prince's mouth twitched slightly. This was a familiar tactic of shifting the blame.
The courtiers were also stunned: !!!
I understand. Marquis Chengguo was just talking nonsense!
This decision to throw mud at his own back is so ruthless that he doesn't even care about his son's face. He is such a ruthless person.
You deserve to be a marquis.
The emperor was also temporarily stunned by Cheng Guohou's desperate words.
But he soon realized that Marquis Chengguo was trying to save Cheng Yi'an's life by using his own title and reputation.
After a moment of silence, the emperor nodded and said, "I understand. Marquis Chengguo, you... in that case, take your son back to take care of family affairs, and come to the court tomorrow to formally request the title."
Cheng Yian growled in fear: "Impossible, father, is it him? Is it this bitch who deceived you? Father, you have to understand..."
Cheng Guohou slapped Cheng Yian so hard that he rolled his eyes. He turned his head and said to Cheng Weining dryly, "Weining. Your father doesn't know either..." He couldn't finish his sentence, "Come back early. Your mother and I will be waiting for you at home."
Cheng Weining said "hmm".
Cheng Guohou left, and everyone looked at Yuan Ruan secretly, and happened to hear the system's voice:
System: [I didn’t expect that the Second Prince would be of some use by accident! ]
Yuan Ruan: [He was just a coincidence. The real credit must have gone to my eldest nephew! This is great. Without the troubles of my scumbag father and brother, I can send wreaths with peace of mind. Come on, throw one.]
Thinking of this, Yuan Ruan pointed in the direction of Cheng Weining and said "Ya Ya Ya" happily.
In an instant, hundreds of eyes stared at him.
The maid being watched: ...
She opened her eyes wide to try to figure it out. Fortunately, Cheng Weining took a step forward anxiously. The officials crowded around him could hear his thoughts and took a step back at the same time, which completely exposed Cheng Weining.
The palace maid's hands were very steady. As soon as she threw the ball, Cheng Weining stretched out his hands forward as if they were handcuffed and caught it steadily.
He looked up at the second princess happily.
The second princess' cheeks blushed slightly, and she felt that the other person's eyes were really like the puppy that the prince gave her.
Just at this moment, the system's cheerful voice sounded:
[National Destiny Side Quest: Make Cheng Yian a commoner for life (completed), National Destiny Points +2! ]
[National Destiny Side Quest: Let Cheng Weining marry the Second Princess (completed), National Destiny Points +1! ]
System: [Great, Ruan, you are only one point away from the next magical power. Great. Ruan, you yawned, take a rest first. We will try again tomorrow.]
When the spectators heard that the mission was accomplished, they breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had just relaxed after running a marathon and reaching the finish line.
System: [Oh my, look at the Second Princess and Cheng Weining, their eyes are almost tearing! ]
Everyone immediately leaned over to look, their eyes full of ambiguity.
The second princess and Cheng Weining blushed.
Yuanruan: [It's great that we are in love with each other! I feel like I have accomplished something great! ]
Cheng Weining and the Second Princess smiled at each other, and looked at Yuan Ruan with gratitude. Yes, if it weren't for the Ninth Princess, their future would really be full of disasters.
System: [Ah. But I suddenly remembered something. I think the National Destiny mission is not right.]
Yuanruan: [What?]
Everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen.
System: [Look! Every time the princess is in danger, Cheng Weining develops a revolutionary product to save the princess. Now he and the princess are married smoothly, Cheng Weining is sweet and happy every day, and he won't be stimulated anymore. Can he still invent those powerful farm tools? ]
Yuanruan: [Hiss... OK, it seems so! The hero's grave in the beautiful village. ]
Everyone:! ! !
Oh my god, this makes so much sense!
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, especially those working in the west, all stared at the wreath in Cheng Weining's hand.
His face was filled with thoughts like "Should I do some damage to give the other party some excitement?"
Cheng Weining hugged the wreath tightly.
