208　　"No, it's a waste if you can't finish it. Ruirui, two bowls are enough. Don't order too much."

　　Chen Jie said, "Okay, then leave two bowls for my brother-in-law to eat."

　　The two, one big and one small, left the yard chatting and laughing, while Su Yunjin in the house wrapped herself in a quilt and breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Yesterday's shooting practice was really tiring...

　　Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that she was so excited during practice last night that she even screamed twice. She couldn't help blushing. My husband, you won't think I'm a loose woman, right? I can't do that again in the future, but I can't help it!

　　So embarrassing...

　　In the morning, Chen Jie and Xiao Douding ate wontons from Yang Laosan's family. Their wontons tasted particularly good, but the price was one penny more expensive than other restaurants.

　　Chen Jie is not short of money now, so he doesn't have to be as frugal in food as the people in Mianshui County.

　　After having a full meal, Su Yunjin returned home and was finally able to go out and eat the breakfast that Chen Jie brought back.

　　"My lady, you eat first. I'm going to White Tiger Hall now. I have a lot of things to do today. I may come back late at night, or I may not come back at all. I will come back early tomorrow morning."

　　Su Yunjin froze while eating breakfast after hearing this, and then asked, "Is there any danger?"

　　Chen Jie said: "No."

　　"Oh, be careful then."

　　Chen Jie said: "Well, don't worry."

　　After watching Chen Jie leave, the little kid next to him looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable today? Why are you staying in bed?"

　　"Didn't you tell me that a day's plan begins in the morning? Last time I stayed in bed late, you made me copy the Three Character Classic three times as punishment..."

　　"You also want to punish me by making me recite the Three Character Classic three times?"

　　Su Yunjin looked at the little kid, who grinned and said, "Actually, I wanted to eat fried meatballs for lunch today..."

　　"Well, in a moment, I will go and copy the Three Character Classic five times! We will have tofu and cabbage for lunch today!"

　　Um??

　　The little kid was confused and stared at his sister blankly. What? How could there be such a person in the world who would rather copy books than eat meatballs!

　　…

　　White Tiger Hall.

　　The White Tiger Hall looked solemn and heavy today, with two large white lanterns hung at the door and all the servants in the mansion wearing white belts.

　　There was no smile on anyone's face.

　　After entering the White Tiger Hall, the main hall was set up as a mourning hall, with a half-covered coffin placed in the hall.

　　A tablet is enshrined in the mourning hall.

　　A day later, another funeral took place in the White Tiger Hall.

　　The fourth brother died first, and then the second brother died.

　　All the people from the White Tiger Hall who did not have time to leave yesterday gathered together again and expressed their condolences to the Second Master.

　　Not far from the mourning hall, a group of women were kneeling. They were all Zheng Chuan's wives and concubines.

　　Among these wives and concubines, there were three children standing there. They were all descendants of Zheng Chuan.

　　Peng Shizhong still softened his heart and found a separate courtyard for these women and children and raised them well. Although they no longer had the splendor they had before, they could be said to have no worries about food and clothing.

　　The women knelt on the ground and sobbed.

　　I don't know whether they are crying for their men or for their lost wealth and glory!

　　Tears could not stop flowing, and gang members gradually entered the White Tiger Hall.

　　Chen Jie arrived very early and stood beside Peng Shizhong. Peng Shizhong looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, Lao Er has already paid the price for his wrongdoings. His family has not been affected by the disaster. Don't pursue his children, wives, and concubines. You should treat them well."

　　Although Chen Jie did not agree with Peng Shizhong's words, he still nodded in agreement.

　　Just then the eldest brother Feng Xuan and the third brother Lu Rong arrived.

　　The two arrived at the mourning hall. Lu Rong was a little sad and shed tears silently.

　　The eldest brother seemed even sadder, and cried loudly: "Second brother, why are you so confused? We have such a good relationship as brothers, and you leave me like this. I am heartbroken. Second brother, I can't get over it. We are not reconciled enough, second brother, ah ah..."

　　The eldest brother cried so hysterically that if you didn't know him, you would think he and the second brother had a very good relationship.

　　Some people even commented below.

　　"Look how sad the old man is crying. I didn't cry that much even when my mother died. It seems that even though the old man and the second master are fighting, they still have real feelings for each other."

　　"Yes, Master, I value friendship. If Second Master hadn't pressed me so hard these years, Master wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation."

　　"Isn't it? It's not easy for me!"

　　Everyone talked at once and praised Feng Xuan highly, thinking that he was a man who valued friendship and loyalty.

　　Comparatively speaking, Master Wu was a bit cold-blooded. He hadn't shed a single tear from the time he entered the door until now.

　　Everyone was thinking about this. Peng Fu saw Feng Xuan crying sadly and said, "Master, that's enough. Stop crying. The dead cannot be resurrected."

　　"Ah, Uncle Fu, my heart aches, my heart aches!"

　　Feng Xuan cried loudly, and Peng Fu said, "I know, I know."

　　"Come on, family members return the favor."

　　After hearing this, Feng Xuan was helped to the front of the group of women. Madam Zhao led the sisters to return the greetings and said, "Thank you, uncle."

　　Feng Xuan supported Madam Zhao with a hand, his face full of grief, but his eyes glanced at Madam Zhao's beautiful body, thinking, is this the sweetheart of the second son?

　　Not to mention she does look good.

　　Mrs. Zhao was such a shrewd person. She started out as a peasant girl with no background, but she relied on her own means to gradually suppress the eldest lady from a wealthy merchant family in the Zheng residence.

　　Using a concubine to suppress the wife is not something that ordinary people can do. It requires considerable skill.

　　And she did it, so she is definitely not an ordinary woman.

　　She keenly caught the strange look in Feng Xuan's eyes.

　　Men are a kind of strange animals. They are very combative and like to show off after winning a fight.

　　Others did not know the relationship between Feng Xuan and Zheng Chuan, but Mrs. Zhao knew it and had guessed a little that Zheng Chuan's death must have something to do with this uncle.

　　Maybe he was the one pushing this from behind.

　　After a man defeats another man, he will want to completely possess everything of the other man in order to achieve spiritual transcendence.

　　Women are the worst offenders.

　　Just think about it, your mortal enemy's woman is enjoying herself under you, begging for mercy in pain. By the way, think about how painful and devastated this damn enemy would be if he saw this scene...

　　This kind of pleasure goes straight to the soul.

　　And this is not a bad thing for women.

　　This is a patriarchal society. Women are dependent on men. Since they are dependent, they must seize every opportunity. When the other party is torturing themselves for happiness, isn't that also an opportunity for themselves?

　　Mrs. Zhao was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and I felt pity for her. I looked up at Feng Xuan, and the two of them looked at each other. The woman's eyes seemed to be able to draw silk, seducing the man.

　　Zhao Xun's heart was moved...

　　"Thank you, uncle."

　　"No, no, sister-in-law, my second brother is gone. If you have any difficulties at home, please come to me. I will definitely take good care of you and your family."

　　"Thank you, uncle."

　　Mrs. Zhao thanked him repeatedly. Zhao Xun then let go of Mrs. Zhao's arm and turned to look at Peng Shizhong. His performance was not over yet.

　　At this time, he came directly to Peng Shizhong crying and said, "Foster father, please accept my condolences. I just took a wrong step. I think I have repented, but it's too late."

　　Peng Shizhong looked at Feng Xuan and said, "Oh, that's enough, Boss, stop crying."

　　"Yes, but son, I can't help it. Thinking back to the past, you brought me and the second child up. We were so happy back then, but now we are separated forever. Son is heartbroken."

　　Peng Shizhong also had tears in his eyes, but he still said, "He brought this upon himself. He deserves it."

　　"Godfather, my second brother was also confused for a moment. Sigh~ He should be given a chance."

　　Feng Xuan said with tears in his eyes.

　　Chen Jie was listening at the side, squinting his eyes. This Feng Xuan was really a sinister guy. He had hurt others and now he was acting as a sympathizer.

　　Thinking of this, Feng Xuan turned his head and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Hey, Lao Wu, don't think too much. I'm not talking about you. I heard from Uncle Fu about the situation at that time. The situation was critical and you had no choice. It's just that I feel sorry for Lao Er."

　　Feng Xuan turned to Chen Jie and said.

　　Chen Jie smiled and said, "Big brother and second brother have a deep affection for each other, I know that, but the person has already died, big brother, please accept my condolences."

　　"Hey, what Fifth Brother said is true. I just feel sorry for my brother. You don't know how difficult it is for him..."

　　Chen Jie laughed along. Even though he knew Feng Xuan was talking nonsense, he still laughed along. This is how the world is. Hypocrisy is a necessary social tactic.

　　Lu Rong cried at this time: "Although Second Brother has brought this upon himself, we are brothers after all. Big Brother is sincere and Fifth Brother was forced by the situation. Let's not talk about this and just get this funeral done properly first."

　　"Godfather, are the second and fourth sons buried together?"

　　After hearing this, Peng Shizhong said, "Well, let's be buried together."

　　"When will the coffin be sealed?"

　　Peng Shizhong said: "Don't worry, wait for someone."

　　"Who else?"

　　Lu Rong asked, and Peng Shizhong said: "The person who decides whether Lao Er can be buried safely is also the person who decides whether his family can survive."

　　After hearing this, everyone looked at Zheng Chuan's family.

　　At this time, the rest of the Zheng family members were huddled together in fear, and only Mrs. Zheng was pretending to remain calm.

　　Sure enough, at this moment, Zhou Chu shouted from outside: "Commander Qimuge is here!"

　　After a shout, Qimugege led a group of black-armored guards into the White Tiger Hall, with Zhou Chu leading the way.

　　Peng Shizhong saw Qimuge coming and went to greet him. Chen Jie, Feng Xuan, and Lu Rong followed behind. Qimuge came forward and clasped his fists with Peng Shizhong: "Master Peng."

　　"Master Commander."

　　Qimuge asked, "Where is the prisoner?"
