Chapter 100: Chapter 46: Disposal_2

Granny Liu truly hadn’t expected that Cousin Miss not only would help but also gave suggestions. Though strange, she immediately agreed with this point of view. The opportunity had come, and once lost, it would never return.

Nanny Deng came quickly, and in response to Ma Chengteng’s questions, she very carefully recounted what she had witnessed. She added neither oil nor vinegar to her account, not even a single comment. But the more impartial this attitude, the more credible it seemed. However, Nanny Deng also emphasized that Ma Peng was very anxious at the time, but he did not step beyond bounds.

Ma Chengteng’s expression changed immediately when he heard Nanny Deng recount how Cheng Lizi had yelled at Yueyao and even pushed her to the ground.

Ma Chengteng couldn’t just rely on Granny Liu and Nanny Deng’s one-sided words to conclude that Cheng Lizi had seduced his son. He summoned Ma Peng and his personal young servant and demanded sternly what exactly had happened.

Ma Peng was very aggrieved, his face flushed red with anger, “Father, since ancient times, marriage has been the word of parents and matchmakers. I have read the sages’ books since I was young, how could I commit such a despicable act.”

Seeing Ma Peng’s flushed face, but hearing his logical and well-founded speech, Ma Chengteng nodded in rare approval. This son had always been diligent but not particularly talented. However, he was indeed very honest. Compared to Granny Liu, he still trusted his own son more.

...

Ma Chengteng questioned the young servant. Under pressure, the servant finally confessed he had been bribed by Cousin Miss to deliberately lead the young master to the yard to meet Miss Cheng. He even confessed all the nice things Cheng Lizi had given him.

Ma Chengteng ordered a search, and looking at the things that were found, he couldn’t help but recall the way Lady Cheng had harmed his eldest son years ago. He had basically made up his mind that Lady Cheng was up to no good. Once a person is convinced of something, even if Lady Cheng really didn’t intend it, Ma Chengteng wouldn’t believe her.

Ma Chengteng thought that if what Granny Liu had said was true, and he let his son marry such a woman, he would be destroying the Ma Family, “Go, have Lady Cheng come over.” As for Cheng Lizi, Ma Chengteng didn’t even want to see her. It was enough to settle accounts with Lady Cheng. Ma Chengteng was too angry, he didn’t even call her Madam, but directly referred to her as Lady Cheng.

Lady Cheng already knew about this matter on the way. She was so frustrated she was grinding her teeth. She indeed had this intention, but Granny Liu guarded against her like she would a thief. She hadn’t found the opportunity for several months. Lady Cheng’s fingernails were digging into her palms, all because of that wretched girl Lizi, who she had told to keep cool, keep cool. Yet she hadn’t listened to her. Now she had been outmaneuvered by Granny Liu. If things didn’t go well today, she feared she would be implicated as well.

Old Lady Chen spoke in a low voice, “Madam, this time it was Miss cousin who saw it with her own eyes. I fear it’s a big trouble.” Originally, they had nothing to do with Granny Liu, but of course, there were private conflicts behind the scenes. Uncle Master had turned a blind eye. But now, it seems things won’t end well.

Lady Cheng’s face grew darker, she felt she and Madam Ma and her daughter naturally clashed. Encountering this mother-daughter duo was never good, better not to let them come over in the future.

Old Lady Chen spoke anxiously, “Madam, Old Granny Deng has been very active these past two days. If it were just Miss cousin playing a part, it would be fine. But I’m afraid Miss cousin has gotten involved. The Old Master loves Miss cousin, and he might believe her.” Since Yueyao was an outsider, the disputes within the mansion had no direct interest to her, so her words might be the most believable.

Lady Cheng’s face grew even darker, but she shook her head, “No, that girl is only eight years old, the Old Master wouldn’t involve her in this.” Even if Lady Lian and Old Granny Deng had the intention, the Old Master wouldn’t let an eight-year-old niece get involved in this matter. He couldn’t afford to lose that face.

When Lady Cheng arrived, Ma Chengteng had Granny Liu repeat what she had told him to Lady Cheng. Ma Chengteng used to save Lady Cheng face, but today he was furious.

Lady Cheng naturally claimed innocence.

Just then, Nanny Deng added fuel to the fire, bowing towards Lady Cheng, “Madam, in principle, this is an Internal Affair of the Ma Family, and an old servant like me should not interfere. Besides, I am not clear about the rights and wrongs. It just so happened that I came across this, but Lady Cheng’s Miss cousin, a single woman walking in the yard without even a maid or nanny, is really inappropriate. Moreover, neither the maids nor nannies who guard the garden at night could find anyone.” Even if they happened upon it unintentionally at night. Like her family’s Miss, surrounded by a group of maids and nannies, there wouldn’t be an opportunity for gossip.
