Old Madam Ming was not the biological mother of Sheng Lanci, and she behaved obediently facing Senior Master Sheng, but the couple still paid much respect to their stepmother.
Since it was the Old Madam’s invitation, Madam Feng was in no mood to talk more to change her daughter’s view now. She replied instantly, “I’ll go immediately after changing my clothes!”
As she walked behind a screen to change clothes, she asked Xiquan, “Did you know what happened to the second branch?”
“It was said that the mistress of the Second Master came to give vent to her dissatisfaction with much noise. Second Madam was furious and was now asking for a divorce in front of Senior Master and Old Madam,” Xiquan said with a sigh, “After knowing this, the Senior Master called the Second Master over to beat him to death. Old Madam feared that Senior Master lost control of the force of beating in fury. And Eldest Master was asked out just now, so she had no choice but to
The Senior Master Sheng thumped on the table and roared, “He’s supposed to take the consequences. If he can’t handle it, his whole branch will be thrown out!!!”After that, he was about to leave with a livid face. When passing by Sheng Lansi, he couldn’t help kicking him to the ground, and he cursed, “Because your first sister-in-law helped you out, I’ll spare you today! If you do that one more time, I won’t say anything to you and will drive your branch out of the family directly. We’ll see without your brother’s support to your branch, what else can you take to fend for a mistress!”Then he left in anger.At the place of honor, Old Madam Ming stayed still with a pale face. How could she ignore that she was the real target of Senior Master Sheng’s words?“Mother, I just came back and there are still things left in the yard waiting to be arranged. If you don’t mind, may I?” Having witnessed the scene, Madam Feng didn’t intend to st
Obviously, Sheng Weiwu had run all the way here from the third branch for there was considerable dew on her chignon and dress.Before she finished, the two maids looking after her had chased into the room, made a hurried greeting to Sheng Weiqiao and stepped forward to drag her back, “Seventh Miss! Seventh Miss! It’s the Senior Master’s birthday today! I beg you, don’t be imprudent. What if you miss the time to kowtow to Senior Master?!”“Don’t worry, Second Sister! You’ll see how I take revenge for you today!” Sheng Weiwu was doing her best to struggle, but she was only seven, while the two maids were fourteen or fifteen, so certainly she was no match for them. Being dragged away, she earnestly assured, “Second Sister, you’ll see how the son of a mistress is going to be chucked out!”Hearing that, Sheng Weiqiao was deeply moved, and then she unhesitatingly helped the two maids to prize away from her cousin’s fingers from the door, “Dear, it’s
Senior Master Sheng was very upset!Yesterday, a mistress of his second son came here to make trouble. Today, his new grandson’s mistress also came to make trouble in front of all the people who were celebrating his birthday!Senior Master felt that he had lost all dignity in his life!The most important thing is before he was going to say something, Sheng Lansi who struggled to come to the banquet was surprised. He said that he recognized this girl and she was from Tianxiang Lou. However, Sheng Shuihe just came back for about half a month. Everyone in Sheng Family knew exactly where he had gone to, and he definitely hadn’t gone to Tianxiang Lou, OK?!Of course, Senior Master was furious. He’s going to find out whoever did something so taboo on his birthday!When Senior Master flew into a rage, the lady immediately confessed that his granddaughter, Sheng Weiwu, had paid for her to come here!Third Master o
These two girls already waited outside due to the supervision of their parents. After hearing grandfather’s voice, they entered the hall, holding hands. They knelt down, “Grandfather….”“Now you know I’m your grandfather?!” Senior Master Sheng was furious and said without thinking, “You found a hooker to mess up my birthday. Who do you think I am? Your grandson?! Huh?! All I know is that girls like you will eventually marry someone. If we don’t spoil you and when you get bullied after you get married, you probably won’t even come back to tell us! Who knows, well, it turned out we spoiled you so much that you both started cheating your own family!!!”Listening to this, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu were speechless. At the same time, tears came to their eyes, and they both said, “Grandpa, we know we have made a mistake!”“I have no dignity left!” Senior Master Sheng kicked over the table and roared, “The whole Sheng Family’s dignity has been lost
Except for bidding a farewell to ancestors when getting married, a woman could not enter the main hall of the ancestral hall.Thus, the so-called being grounded in the ancestral hall for one month was actually letting them stay in the wing of the ancestral hall for one month.The ancestral hall of Sheng Family was extended and renovated just two years ago. Because it was guarded and maintained by specific servants, it looked new.Even if the wing was rare to be used in a year, it was carved and painted with beautiful displays inside.However, there were only some equipment for sacrifice, spare incense burners, and four treasures of study here. As for bedding, dressing table and so on, those were not available.Fortunately, Senior Master Sheng cared about her granddaughters’ fragile health and ordered someone to spread a pile of straw on the ground as a bed for them.The spoiled sisters tried so hard to unf
Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu didn’t know that they were going to be in big trouble. After eating, they negotiated to copy the book, “Although grandfather will not be pitiless to lock us here for a month, if we didn’t copy the book even once, it would make him embarrassed. Should we do it?”They routed out Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women, ground the ink, laid out the paper, and began to copy.At dinner time, the servant sent vegetable and tofu dishes with rice again. This time, they didn’t taste the food as delicious as last time, so they were careless when copying the book in candlelight after dinner.“What are you here again?” they asked. Seeing Sheng Shuihe coming with a food container, they put down the writing brush and said simultaneously, “We have told you that we will not eat anything sent by you!”“My sisters, relax!” Sheng Shuihe said pleasantly, “This is not prepared for you. I have nothing to do, so I intend
So, hearing the “brothers” that the sisters repeated one after the other, Sheng Shuihe sat back reluctantly, “You are not kids anymore and there are no servants around us. Although I am your biological elder brother, it is still not good to spread it out and make other people know. Remember, it’s between us.”What Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu wanted was to let him stay to embolden them, and therefore they were so subservient to him and nodded their heads in a hurry. Absolutely, they had the same idea in mind: when the servant delivered the food at dawn, you would be useless. Then just see how we would fix you!!!However, the night was long and boundless. They just looked at each other and didn’t know what to do. Sheng Shuihe wanted to go to sleep, but he had been shaken awake by these two sisters. He asked these two sisters to sleep, but none of them dared to close their eyes although they were already too sleepy.After dawdling like this for
If it had been before, the two sisters wouldn’t surely have feared. Especially that Senior Master had set one month for them last time, but he cut it down to ten days to half a month now. Evidently, he had compromised!But still scared by the experience last night, let alone being locked in the ancestral hall for ten days to half a month, they couldn’t endure staying there for a quarter!Hearing that, naturally they pleaded. But the more they pled, the surer Senior Master Sheng was that they were lying in order to evade the punishments. He said, “You’ve ruined my birthday banquet and shamed Sheng Family! With such a big scene caused, I didn’t beat you or throw you out. Instead, I just sent you to the ancestral hall to copy books for two days, but you still want to bargain? Do you really think that there aren’t any disciplines in our family?”After saying that, ignoring the explanation and the cry of the two sisters, he commanded, “Drag them to
