293、The problem of the Cheng family
Jing Wen came to Cheng Yaojin's house, and Jing Wen also saw a mature woman, probably the Cui family. Jing Wen actually saw Bai Ling here. It was obvious that someone in Cheng Yaojin's house had just passed away. Jing Wen didn't know what was going on, it seemed that he was not the time to come!
"Brother Cheng, has anyone died in the mansion?" Jing Wen asked.
Cheng Yaojin also said with some grief: "Neiko died for two days and had not even had the first seventh year. Before, Neiko was seriously ill for several years, so Neiko's death was not too sudden."
Jing Wen immediately said: "Since I'm here, I'll be able to sing a stick of incense too."
Anyway, this is his mother-in-law, so Jing Wen also wants to put in incense sticks to express his feelings! Although this mother-in-law has not been able to see her daughter get married in person, but as a future son-in-law, of course, he also needs to put in incense sticks to express his feelings, otherwise would he really be embarrassed to marry her daughter?
"Is Miss Cheng so sad because her mother passed away?" Jing Wen asked.
"Maybe!" Cheng Yaojin said helplessly.
"Maybe?" Jing Wen heard something strange.
Since Cheng Lin's mother has been seriously ill for many years, and when Cheng Lin returned to Cheng's mansion, she had grown up. To be honest, Cheng Lin and her biological mother may not have a deep relationship. In addition, her mother has been seriously ill for many years, maybe Cheng Lin has already realized that her mother will die soon after. The only thing Cheng Lin may feel helpless is that she cannot be filial when her mother is alive, but this is only a moral reason, not a deep emotional problem. Therefore, the reason for Cheng Lin's grief should not be the death of her mother, but mainly other reasons.
But the Cui family next to him said, "Does Xiaolin do things under your hands?"
"Yes! Mrs. Cui!" Jing Wen said.
But the Cui said, "Since you have a good relationship with Xiaolin, we won't hide it from you! Xiaolin is so angry because I am engaged to General Cheng. Can you tell us that Xiaolin should not be angry anymore?"
Jing Wen was surprised after hearing Cui's statement. Because Cui was engaged to Cheng Yaojin. So, Cheng Lin's adoptive mother became Cheng Lin's stepmother. However, Jing Wen immediately thought of another possibility, because they should have been engaged recently, which means that Cheng Yaojin was engaged to another woman when his wife was seriously ill and was about to die. Although men in ancient times did not have many rules for engagement. But your wife was almost ill and you were engaged to someone else. This is too unconscience!
Although this situation will not be punished by law. However, if your wife is not dead, you are busy re-stringing, which is enough for you to be scolded. You have never talked about the friendship between husband and wife for many years, but you are engaged to another woman when your wife dies. What a hatred behavior? I am afraid that if it is spread, your character will be greatly questioned. At least, Jing Wen looks at Cheng Yaojin now, and he looks unkind. Obviously, he also likes such people.
No wonder Cheng Lin is so angry. It turns out that Cheng Lin is angry because of this reason. Although Cheng Lin doesn’t have a deep relationship with her biological mother, now that her biological mother has just passed away, I am busy getting engaged to other women. This is simply angering. As a result, Jing Wen doesn’t bother to affect Chi Yu now, and Cheng Lin is jealous of her.
"Cheng Yaojin, I look down on you!" Jing Wen said directly.
After Jing Wen finished speaking, he was about to leave immediately. Obviously, he was very disappointed with Cheng Yaojin. Such a person could even do such things, and he ignored his relationship with his husband and wife for many years. What kind of friendship can such a person expect him to have? Such a person is not worth dating, so Jing Wen had already planned to break up with Cheng Yaojin in the future, and even supported Cheng Lin to leave Cheng Yaojin.
"Brother Jingwen, that's not the case. You misunderstood!" Cheng Yaojin said.
"What's going on?" Jing Wen asked back.
Cheng Yaojin was embarrassed to say it, and Cui explained the reason next to him.
It turns out that the reason why Cheng Yaojin got engaged to Cui before his wife died was actually Cheng Yaojin's original wife Lu's last wish. Lu felt that he had never been able to take care of Cheng Lin, and when Cheng Lin came back, he was already seriously ill and could not let Cheng Lin feel maternal love. This was the only thing Lu felt that he owed his daughter, so he wanted Cheng Yaojin to marry Cheng Lin's adoptive mother after he left, so that he could take care of Cheng Lin on his behalf. The reason why he got engaged at the time of death was that Lu could leave with confidence, and that was also to reassure him.
"What's this all about? Can Miss Cheng Lin accept it?" Jing Wen said speechlessly.
Cheng Yaojin shook his head helplessly.
However, Jing Wen can also understand, which child can accept that his parents were engaged to someone else before their partner had passed away? Even if this person was his adoptive mother, he could not accept that his biological mother had just passed away, and other women were engaged to his father! I am afraid that even later generations would not be able to accept that Jing Wen, let alone an ancient person like Cheng Lin. At that time, Cheng Yaojin just wanted to allow his original wife to leave with peace of mind, but he ignored Cheng Lin's feelings, which resulted in the current result. Therefore, Cheng Lin was disappointed with his father, and even affected this emotion to Jing Wen.
However, Jing Wen also estimated that Cheng Yaojin did not object to Xu Xian's marriage to Cui. Because Cui was not only Cheng Lin's adoptive mother, but also an important figure in the Cui family. Marrying her can help her! Moreover, more importantly, Cui is a mature beauty. What should Cheng Yaojin object? If Cui was not a married man and a widow, it would probably not be Cheng Yaojin's turn to marry him! In ancient times, after the husband died after he got married, he rarely could marry those unmarried big men. Generally speaking,
Women who have lost their husbands usually make re-strings for other men. Those unmarried big men rarely marry a widow directly, otherwise they will be teased. The Cui family may need Cheng Yaojin to help him endorse the military generals, and Cheng Yaojin can use the Cui family's status to consolidate his position in the officialdom and even add some "literary spirit" to his family. Besides, Cui is Cheng Lin's adoptive mother, and does it have a better relationship than this? So, no matter from which perspective, it is a match made by heaven!
But the problem is that the engagement time is wrong, which makes Cheng Lin very disgusted and even angry about it. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
