Sheng Weiqiao originally thought she would not fall asleep all night and toss and turn till dawn.
But in fact, since she made a "long, arduous journey" during the day and then cried for a long time to tease Sheng Shuihe and even managed not to sleep after lying down, as a delicate lady, she had already felt weary and fell asleep happily in a minute after compromising and feeling angry!
Sheng Shuihe, who also thought she would not fall asleep all night and toss and turn till dawn, was speechless.
He was waiting to sneer at the bad girl when she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He was well prepared, but she just fell asleep!
Sheng Shuihe, who was unbelievable, even touched the quilt and the stone under the mattress to confirm that they were still stuck in the small cave under Hawksbill Peak instead of the bed in Sheng Family that was richly ornamented!
Then, he felt deeply puzzled and thought, "She is so fastidious
Sheng Shuihe finished his breakfast, glum.He was squinting at Sheng Weiqiao throughout the breakfast, wondering if she was really unaware of the appalling deeds that she had done last night, or was she assuming calmness like he?Then he saw that the girl seated herself in front of the bronze mirror and fiddled with her comb, courageously determined to do the hair by herself after her declaration of banishing herself from the breakfast table and sticking with her grudge against him.After a while, she just made her black hair a nest...Of course, Sheng Weiqiao hadn't thought the same way as he did. Upturning the corner of her mouth and triumphantly decorating her "nest" with jade pin and bead flower, she seemed rather satisfied with the chignon she had made for the first time..."Exactly the opposite of 'Be strict with yourself and be tolerant with the others'!" To recall the hairstyle made by her maids before, weren't
Facing the expected eyes of Sheng Weiqiao, Sheng Shuihe finally...secretly snapping his finger, knocking her jade hairpin inlaid with gold and jewelry and with a magpie on the top of the plum tree branch decoration!Then after the hairpin felling to the ground into two pieces, he pretended to be surprised, "Sweetie, your hairpin!"Sheng Weiqiao looked down and became anxious immediately. She hurriedly stooped down to pick it up, and said with a crying voice, "This... this is made by the design which father specially painted for me. It is the only one!""Let me do it!" Sheng Shuihe breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. Then he stepped forward to help and pretend to comfort her, "It is just a hairpin. Just let the craftsman make another one later. But don't hurt your hands in a hurry!"After such a small episode, Sheng Weiqiao was no longer in the mood to force him to praise her ha
Thus, on that afternoon, though the storm outside the cave had stopped, Sheng Shuihe just answered without raising his head when Sheng Weiqiao asked after the marine weather, "Sweetie, the inshore coastal area isn't comparable to what surrounds Daimao Island.""We say, 'wave also swells when wind drop'. You saw the wave surges in the sea by yourself yesterday. Only one night has passed, and it was windy and rainy in the morning. How could it be so peaceful now as to enable the sailing?""Especially that only sampans are able to pick us up by the beach. By then, if a wave just rose and overturned the sampan, I wouldn't really mind. At worst, I would swim over to the ship by myself. But what if none of our people made it to save you, or a shark who happened to be around captured you and took you away?"Though Sheng Weiqiao grew up in coastal Nanfeng County, being raised up in the mansion, she wasn't knowledgeable about the sea. Hearing that, she
Sheng Weiqiao was not accustomed to lying. Perhaps today's event had somehow shocked her, or the current dilemma in which she landed herself had inspired her untapped capabilities—she never fabricated a charge against others. However, once she started it, she just talked non-stop, "Brother, just think about it. Why would Little Five suddenly roar?"Sheng Shuihe kept a straight face, "Oh, why?"He wanted to know how she would straighten out her lie!"It probably found something!" Sheng Weiqiao said solemnly with seeming seriousness, "Little Five silently went to untie your clothes. Seeing you motionless, it went to the corner and roared!"Then, she hastily explained that when Sheng Shuihe opened her eyes, why he would see her grabbing her clothes, "You always knew that I am terrified of Little Five. When it laid on your chest and poked around, I dared not to make a sound or go near to you! After it left, I worried that it was a cold
Unknown to the future trouble, Sheng Weiqiao happily got on the sampan, which went to pick them up in the afternoon. Moving off the beach, it was then hoisted onto a large ship that stayed in the central area of the sea.Just stepping onto the deck of the ship, Gongsun Yingjiang, whose face was pale, rushed to her, asking with great care, "Aunt, are you fine? Was everything ok in the valley? Did you get hurt or feel very cold in the valley?"Seeing her anxious expressions, Sheng Weiqiao felt moved. Holding her hands, Sheng Weiqiao comforted with a smile, "Don't worry. I am fine!"Glancing at Sheng Shuihe, who was nearby and talking with sailors, she hesitated but continued saying, "Your Little Uncle often went to the valley and lived there. This time, we stayed there for only several days. Why did you fuss over that?"Gongsun Yingjiang still seemed to be in a panic. She wanted to say something while Yushan, who stood behind her, pu
When Sheng Weiqiao was in the valley, she had already guessed that Daimao Island was not peaceful in these two days from the various abnormal behaviors of Sheng Shuihe. And even the Sea Master, Gongsun Su, might be in danger—after hearing Gongsun Yingjiang's words at this moment, she was not too surprised, but she just couldn't figure it out, "Yingdun is one year younger than us. He didn't seem to have any military exploit before. He and your old uncle's old subordinates united against your father and brother, but has he ever thought about how to control the people afterward even if he succeeds?"On the shore, a place where people emphasized the sense of propriety, justice, honesty, and honor, there were still endless cases that the powerful subordinates bullied their superior!Even if the young emperor ascended the throne, if there were no empress dowager too powerful to assist the government, the young emperor would be controlled by the powerful ministers
"Shouldn't it be?" Gongsun Yingjiang was startled by Sheng Weiqiao's gaffe, and said subconsciously, "With foster grandfather's power in Nanfeng County, if he wanted to give Little Uncle a clean background, it was only a matter of his words. If Little Uncle had nothing to do with Sheng Family, why did foster grandfather bring him back and give him a place in the genealogy for no reason?"A place in the genealogy meant that Sheng Shuihe had been officially acknowledged by the family, and recognized as the son of Sheng Lanci.This was a recognition to confirm the identity of Sheng Shuihe as the future head of the Sheng Family.Sheng Family was not an ordinary family, and Sheng Lanci was known as a father who deeply spoiled his daughter. How could he allow any outsider to enter the family for no reason to take away what should belong to his daughter, and even mess up the ancestry?"But if he is my father's son, who is his birth mother
After Yushan was called in, she quickly took hot water and served Sheng Weiqiao to wash her face and hands and then got her clothes. Although Sheng Weiqiao bathed every day when she was in the valley these two days, there was only a small tub and it was impossible for a girl who hadn't grown up to sit in and bathe. So, when she knew that a big wooden barrel was prepared on the boat, she couldn't wait to go back to the island, "There's no need to change my clothes! Let someone bring hot water first. Change my clothes after bathing!"Yushan replied. After taking the clothes behind the screen, seeing Gongsun Yingjiang had already got up, she went out to ask someone to bring hot water and went to the dresser and then took up a jade comb, asking, "Miss, do you want to coil your hair again?"Sheng Weiqiao shook her head and said, "Coil my hair after bathing lest it should get wet and you should do it again!"Yushan said hurriedly, "No trouble at all!
