The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1705 Big Eyes Gets Beaten

Before Da Yan could even speak, Yu Hua started rambling on like beans spilling from a bamboo tube: "Aren't you angry? It's bad enough that Da Yan has such a heartless second uncle, but his eldest uncle is even worse. He beat him up, took all of Da Yan's money, and now he wants Da Yan to send him his monthly allowance. That's just too much!"

Cheng Feng chuckled in annoyance. "I told you long ago, this big-eyed guy would make up an uncle for you all sooner or later. Look at him, he hasn't changed his ways! He's only been in the manor for less than a month, and he's already acting up again, making up stories for me. What did I say the other day? If you lie and make up stories in front of me, you're out. I don't have time to listen to a child's stories."

Yu Hua turned Da Yan's face to show Cheng Feng: "Cheng Feng, you're heartless. This time it's for real. This child was beaten by his uncle, and he's covered in injuries. Shang Xi, look at Da Yan's face, it's swollen and bleeding. This person went too far. How can anyone beat their own nephew like that?"

How could Shang Xi not see the bright, swollen half of his face? She said, "Cheng Feng, even if this injury wasn't inflicted by Big Eyes' uncle, it must have been done by someone else. We can't just sit idly by."

Big Eyes sobbed, but didn't forget to defend herself, "It was my uncle who hit me. It's one thing for him to hit me, but he also stole my money. He threatened me that if I didn't obediently send him my monthly allowance next month, he would sell me to a slave trader."

Cheng Feng questioned Da Yan, who had long suspected that this man of unclear age had a mysterious background. If Shang Xi hadn't pressured him that day, he wouldn't have brought this man back to the palace to work. "Da Yan, I've known you for so long, how come I didn't know you had an uncle?"

"Your Highness, I really do have an uncle!"

“You started as a helpless child, then gained a second uncle, and today you have an eldest uncle. Will you have a third uncle tomorrow?”

Seeing Cheng Feng's cold words, Da Yan burst into tears, crying pitifully and gasping for breath. He had run back to Cheng Feng to stand up for him, but the young master was indifferent to his plight. He was so heartbroken!

Yu Hua used a handkerchief to wipe away Da Yan's tears and snot, almost crying along with him. She complained to Cheng Feng, "Cheng Feng, you're too heartless! This child is about to have a seizure. He must have been bullied. How can you, as his master, just watch your servant be bullied? This can't be left like this. Let's all go out of the city and get justice for Da Yan."

Big Eyes shook his head vigorously. He didn't need justice; all he wanted was his own money back. "Just get the money back. That's what I saved up by scrimping and saving."

It's outrageous that a grown man like Cheng Feng would go and ask Da Yan for a handful of copper coins. Cheng Feng was furious and said something equally unpleasant, "Where have you been frugal? You eat for two people in my palace, have you been saving a little bit?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Hua became furious. "Cheng Feng, doesn't your mansion provide food and lodging? So what if this child eats a lot? He's still growing! Don't be so heartless!"

Cheng Feng was never a heartless person. He was annoyed by Yu Hua's endless accusations. "I'll take him out of the city to see what's going on. If he doesn't have an uncle or a second uncle, I won't bring him back."

Yu Hua was furious. This big-eyed boy was good at getting things done, and he was always happy to run errands for her. Even if he told a few little lies, it didn't stop Yu Hua from liking him. "No way! Cheng Feng, I think you just don't want big-eyed boy to come back. He works for your household, how can you just throw him away like that?"

When Da Yan heard that Cheng Feng was going to throw him out of the city, he was terrified. "Young Master, please don't throw me away! Give the money to my uncle, I don't want it anymore! Please, Young Master, don't throw me out of the city!"

Shang Xi comforted Da Yan, "Don't be afraid. As long as what you say is the truth, Cheng Feng won't abandon you outside the city."

Yu Hua has recently developed a deep grudge against Cheng Feng, all because Cheng Feng secretly arranged for his niece to marry into the Chen family. This alone is enough for Yu Hua to curse her for years. So Yu Hua snorted, she had already lost trust in Cheng Feng, "Shang Xi, you don't need to defend your Cheng Feng. Cheng Youning has a history of throwing people up the mountain, I think he got it from Cheng Feng."

"Yu Hua, why are you dragging others into this? If you want to scold me, then scold me, but why involve my son? Just because my son is a scoundrel doesn't mean I am one too! Besides, those were just some outrageous things my son did when he was young and didn't know any better. Look at my son now, he's a real little man! As the saying goes, like father, like son. My son is so outstanding because he has a good father. I, Cheng Feng, am a man of integrity."

"Pah! Stop trying to brag about yourself. Others may not know your background, but I, Yu Hua, know that you, Cheng Feng, are no good."

“Hey? Yuhua, explain yourself clearly. I, Cheng Feng, am an upright man. You can say whatever you want about me in front of my wife. I, Cheng Feng, have lived a life of integrity and have never done anything immoral.”

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to challenge me? The biggest despicable thing you've ever done is pushing your niece onto my mistress. Just thinking about all the underhanded tricks you've pulled behind the scenes makes me ashamed for you. You've gone to great lengths to marry He Ye to my mistress, and now you've saved us a lot of trouble. Our Chen family will have a lot more to worry about. You're the most cunning person ever! I can't even sleep without you waking me up. Cheng Feng, you've really done something terribly wrong."

Cheng Feng not only felt no guilt, but also showed no weakness, "Yu Hua, we're talking about Da Yan's matter, can you not take things too far off track? I saw your little San'er today, and since he married my niece, his face has become rosy, and he looks more handsome. His complexion is better than ever before! All of this is thanks to my niece. Without my niece He Ye's careful care, he would be a yellow-faced little devil."

"Hey! Cheng Feng, you're asking for it! How dare you call my mistress a yellow-faced brat!"

Yu Hua raised her hand to strike, but Cheng Feng, quick as a flash, immediately used his wife as a shield, shouting, "Wife, stop it! Someone's hitting your husband!"

Shang Xi is fair and impartial, especially since the matter involves Yu Hua. "Yu Hua didn't hit you that hard. If you hadn't pulled those underhanded tricks, would your niece have gotten married so smoothly? Don't be so hypocritical."

"Wife, are you closer to me or Yuhua? You should speak up for your husband!"

When it comes to the closeness of relationships, Shang Xi couldn't help but speak her mind: "Whether my son is close to me or not, he belongs to someone else now. Only Yu Hua is my friend for life."
