Sheng Weiqiao took Lvqi with her, got out of rockery, and returned to Cuimo Waterside Pavilion. There were only a few servants inside the Pavilion. Sheng Weiqiao pointed at one of the servants and asked him where Xuanyu She was, and then she left hastily.
They said taking a walk would be helpful to digest the food. In fact, they knew they purely wanted to use it as an opportunity to talk in private. Thus, all of them did not walk too far. She followed the luxuriantly green flower path for a short while and saw Xuanyu She. He held his sleeves together, strolling around a pavilion. Apparently, he was waiting for someone.
"Cousin!" Seeing Sheng Weiqiao, Xuanyu She was pleasantly surprised and greeted with relief, "You came at last!"
"What's going on?" Their mothers shared a close bond and visited each other frequently. Thus, Sheng Weiqiao's affection for him was stronger than her affection for Sheng Weide. Since there was no one around, Sheng Weiq
Xu Baomo was hoping that she would answer his question like this, "How could that be? In this world, it is normal for men have wives and concubines. In particular, my elder cousin is young, wealthy and handsome. Plenty of girls have a crush on him. Wouldn't he hurt the feelings of those girls if he were to marry only one girl? As to this, I think my future sister-in-law is the one to blame. She should have the bearing as the madam of the family!"He was hoping she could add a few more sentences, "My future sister-in-law should take the initiative to arrange concubines for my elder cousin. After all, he is Auntie's only child. He should have more than one woman in the backyard. Otherwise, with my future sister-in-law alone, when can Auntie enjoy quality time with her grandchildren?"If she said so, that would be great! But!Sheng Weiqiao said angrily, "Of course, it would! I didn't know my elder cousin is this kind of person! Back then, my uncle
"Good! You are coming!" Sheng Weiqiao was angry when seeing him. Thinking of something, she hinted Lvqi to stay aside and walked under the tree. Sheng Shuihe jumped off the tree consciously. He took a hip flask with plum blossom patterns and gems named the cat's eye on it. A layer of beautiful ice beads was on the body. One could feel its low temperature if he was near it.Appreciating scenery at a high place and drinking spirits with a breeze blowing, Sheng Shuihe enjoyed this!Sheng Weiqiao gave a snort, and she didn't care about such trivial things at the moment. She whispered, "Just now, Xuanyu Zhiyu said that the reason she asked you to speak face to face near the rockery was to tell you something... was it true?"Although Sheng Weiqiao felt that Xuanyu Zhiyu dared not to lie, especially for this kind of thing, which was easy to check out, she had to verify by herself."What kind of thing?" Sheng Shuihe smiled casually, "Aunt
They heard the voice of Xuanyu Zhiyu again, and her voice contained no cautious and fearful emotions as before, "The only choice? That was a choice of death! Since Miss Ao knows I am only the daughter of the old master of Xuanyu Family and not accepted by Old Madam, you must know that I will not get out of Old Madam's control even if I win the favor of Cousin Hengshu."Xuanyu Zhiyu sneered, "She killed my mother by a piece of white cloth! If she was not sure that she could control me, would I be allowed to come to Sheng Family? Let me tell you the truth. My legitimate mother is not kind to me, but do you think Cousin Sheng falling love with you at your first encounter has good intentions? Sisters of Feng Family adopted the excuse of making two families closer."Pausing a while, she said, "According to the future wife of the master of Xuanyu Family, the fiancée of my brother Xuanyu She, after I and Cousin Hengshu get married, we will be killed after I delive
The place Sheng Weiqiao sat was about two to three people high from the ground. To be honest, the banyan tree with many branches was easy to climb. There was a limb that was convenient for her to come down to the ground near her.So, although Sheng Weiqiao had never climbed a tree, she still sneered and said, "Why do you care about how I will go down? Just care about yourself first!"When thinking of the behavior that Sheng Shuihe dragged her over here forcibly just now, she felt so angry!She lapped the tree trunk and was about to lose temper. But damn Sheng Shuihe who should die waved his hands thousands time to her happily and said with smile, "Then I'm relieved... sweetie. See you later. I will go first!"As he walked, he also "talked to himself" happily, "My sweetie was a good child who rendered good for evil, so I thought that after unlocking the acupuncture point of my sweetie, she would definitely grasp me and kick me. Howe
At dusk, everyone was back to the waterside pavilion, and Sheng Weiqiao explained for Ao Luanjing's absence, "Sister Ao felt under the weather when we were walking beside the pool after lunch. She was probably not fully recovered while she didn't want to worry us, so she asked me to send the message."Ao Luanjing was shamed on Xuanyu Zhiyu's words in front of Sheng Weiqiao, and then Sheng Weiqiao overheard something inappropriate to be public with the help of Sheng Shuihe. However, she had to pretend naturally that she was ignorant of what had happened and still close to Ao Luanjing, explaining for her absence.Everyone knew that Ao Luanjing had fallen sick before. What was more, it was midsummer, which was too hot for people under the weather to walk around. Therefore, they didn't get to the bottom of her absence and just asked about her briefly.However, the absence of another family member had attracted more attention. Sheng Shuihe came back
The next day, all the guests took leave.No one had told Old Madam Ming about this until all the guests had left afternoon to "recuperate in peace" because she was still sick and too weak to see guests out.At first, Old Madam Ming felt a little guilty, and said to Madam Xiao, who had served her during these days, "This is a bad year for us. Since the beginning of summer, lots of incidents had happened in our family, and some of them even were related to Yamen. No wonder they leave now. When all things get settled, we should apologize to these two families, or it will be rude of us."Madam Xiao knew about the truth, while she wouldn't tell her mother-in-Law at this moment, so she smiled, "You are right."In the evening, Senior Master Sheng sent servants to inform all branches that they would have dinner in Jinxue House, and he had something to say then. Only at this moment did Old Madam Ming feel that things had gone wrong.
Senior Master Sheng felt the atmosphere was unfriendly when he entered. He saw Sheng Lansi plucking at Sheng Weide's clothes, and his face was dark with rage!Then he saw that Sheng Weide's mouth was stained with blood, and there were finger marks on his face. He became furious and shouted, "You bast*rd! What are you doing?!""Dad, you finally come here!" Although Sheng Lansi was ready to make a scene, he had always been afraid of his father and brother. Under his father's severity, he couldn't help becoming weaker than before. After a short pause, he said awkwardly, "Dad, you sent guests away today and then called all people together. I guess you have decided to throw the second branch out of Sheng Family, right? Then, please announce quickly, so that I can take my children back to pack up our things."Speaking of this, he became indignant and couldn't help sneering, "As for dinner, we'd better not eat lest the eldest branch and the third bran
After dinner, Senior Master Sheng asked all people to leave. When others returned to their room, the eldest branch entered the Spring House. Madam Feng grabbed her husband anxiously regardless of the presence of the children and the servants, "The reason why you and dad came late was that you were persuading dad to retract his promise?!"Senior Master Sheng said just now, "Lanci has persuaded me again and again, and I have already agreed to give the second branch a chance." All people would probably think that Sheng Lanci valued brotherhood ties, and the reason why the eldest branch agreed with the third branch to split the second branch off because Madam Feng couldn’t tolerate her brother-in-law.Madam Feng didn’t believe that her husband would get her into a fix, so she had to ask for an explanation.As expected, Sheng Lanci signaled her to calm down and entered the house and sat down. Then he ordered the servants to serve tea and fruits. Aft
