Hearing Sheng Lanling's name, Sheng Lanci couple's faces darkened. Sheng Lanci was still calm and tried to put her off, but Madam Feng said outright, "See her?! Your grandfather hasn't seen her yet. Why should you come there? Later I will ask people to inquire into the matter and find the person who lived off us while secretly helping others and spreading the news to the remote manor. I will not let that person off!!!"
"Was this little aunt disrespectful to you just after she came back?" Sheng Weiqiao was amazed, thinking, "No wonder grandfather didn't reply just now when Sheng Shuihe said that he came back because of Sheng Lanling. So, although my grandfather allowed her to live in Sheng Family, he was still angry with her."
She knew how Sheng Lanling was thrown out of Sheng Family. After all, when she was a child, she heard that she had two aunts, but she only saw one of them, Sheng Lanxin. It was inevitable that she had curiosity.
But she di
"Sweetheart, you supposed that Gongsun Su and Shuihe stayed unaware of the fact for now?" Hearing that, Sheng Lanci just smiled and said affably, "The body servant of Gongsun Su's uncle came to the land the year before last and has been attending to my business in other counties since then so it hasn't been a secret for them!"Madam Feng also chuckled, covering her mouth, and explained to Sheng Weiqiao, "But it's a fact that Gongsun Su abandoned Shuihe when we pressed him. For that, they won't be as close as they were anymore. When it came to whether Shuihe would bear a grudge against us, your father merely managed to step up the pressure on Gongsun Su, and he did nothing to Shuihe! At the bottom, everything was made by Gongsun Su himself! And actually, your father's deeds were favorable to Shuihe!"She pointed in the direction of Xiezhu Pavilion, "Though Shuihe recompensed everything he owed to the family of Gongsun after Old Sea Master Gongsun's death, th
In the extremity of terror and rage, Old Madam Ming slapped hard, for which Sheng Lanling's eyesight began to fade, and it took her some moments to regain her consciousness!She was about to bawl when meeting her mother's blazing eyes, which were glaring at her. Devoid of affection and indulgence, they seemed to be staring at an enemy. Then she was daunted. Manifesting diffidence, she sobbed, "Mother! What's the fear toward the eldest branch? If Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law have learned about that and they actually objected to it, why had they allowed me to stay here until Shuihe and Weiqiao came back today given their toughness?"It was reasonable. Old Madam Ming finally calmed down a little. But she didn't look sorry as Sheng Lanling deliberately turned her face to show the swell. Instead, she said seriously and sincerely, "Don't blame me for the slap. I was really worried about your lapse. Aside from you and your sons, I, your Second Brother's
Since the incident of Chuli, Old Marquis Xu had thought again and again to beg Sheng Family's pardon.After Xu Baomo was driven back, Old Marquis Xu came for himself. Although Senior Master Sheng attached much importance to their friendship, he wouldn't destroy the future of his granddaughter. Therefore, after showing his forgiveness to Old Marquis Xu, Senior Master Sheng refused his proposal of making Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo married.Despite this, Old Marquis Xu would send some lavish gifts to Sheng Family during festivals in recent years.The steward of Ningwei Marquis Family was very powerful in Cangwu County because of his backer. However, when facing the people of Sheng Family, he cringed and flattered them. Judging by this, Old Marquis Xu was very eager to make Sheng Weiqiao his granddaughter-in-law.If it hadn't been that Sheng Lanci couple was strong-willed, Senior Master Sheng would have changed his mind. He had beaten
After the members of Xu Family were invited to the guest house to have a rest, the atmosphere in Songnian Hall suddenly became tense. Feeling the scorching gaze from all directions, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help sweating on her forehead and said vigilantly, "What, what?!""Sweetheart, I have told you that the behaviors of one person are easy to change, but his nature is hard to change. The reason why we haven't heard any news about playing the field of the guy of Xu Family in these two years is simply that his grandfather restrained him arbitrarily in consideration of the imperial examination!" Sheng Lanci's face was painful, and he advised her in earnest, "Though his grandfather is willing to restrain him, can he restrain him for a lifetime?!""When there are no restrictions, the guy of Xu Family will relapse into his old bad habits. What can you do?!""What's more, Xu Family was indeed very diligent in these two years, but whether the person wh
Because of the objection of Sheng Weiqiao, Senior Master could only give up on making Sheng Shuihe check on the quality of Xu Baomo. After walking out of Songnian Hall, Sheng Lanci couple still felt pity for it, "Sweetheart, don't you like that boy at all? If he is a soft touch, he will be a nice choice. After all, your elder brother has to go to Chang'an, so it won't be much trouble."Sheng Weiqiao was pissed off, "Father! Mother! You're weird. You hoped that I had nothing to do with him a moment before, while now you acted like you wanted to marry me to Xu Family immediately. I don't care whether he is a soft touch or not. I broke up with him before, and he was not my only choice of husband, so why should I stick with him all the time? Or do you think that I cannot lead a good life without marrying him?"The loving parents shut up immediately seeing their daughter get mad, and said with smiles, "That's ridiculous! Sweetheart, since you haven't chosen your
When Xu Baomo was beaten by his grandfather and grandmother, Old Madam Ming finally found an opportunity to confess Sheng Lanling's ambitions to Sheng Lanci couple in private, "I failed to teach my daughter well and she became an ungrateful bast*rd. Now I tell you this not because I want to intercede for her. After all, it's not the first time that she has harmed you. At that time, I could say that she was young and ignorant. Now even her son can get married, but she still schemes against her family. It can be seen that she is quite hopeless!""I just want you to know that even though I'm not Lanci's mother, I'm not so partial that I even make no distinction between right and wrong!""Now they're in Lianyue Pavilion and they're under guard. You can punish them as you wish. I have no objection!"Sheng Lanci couple had already known Sheng Lanling's calculations from the informants, so they were still calm after hearing her words and they were onl
Senior Master Ao visited Sheng Family the year before last. But because of Sheng Family's division affair, they went back very soon.Though Sheng Lanci couple didn't attend to the commotion in the garden, their informants reported it later. After all, without a thorough understanding of the affairs in their garden, they would be thought incompetent as the master and mistress of Sheng Family.Consequently, Sheng Lanci knew that Ao Luanjing seemed to have feelings for Sheng Shuihe, and she was once jealous of Xuanyu Zhiyu for that reason. But he didn't take it seriously, since the girl went back with Senior Master Ao very soon and hadn't paid them another visit yet, and Sheng Shuihe also privately expressed that he couldn't return Ao Luanjing's love.After all, Sheng Shuihe wasn't Sheng Lanci's biological son, so Sheng Lanci's concern about him was not as much as that about Sheng Weiqiao. Sheng Weiqiao was in her age of marriage. Nevertheless, Sh
Xiaobi Building was built by Sheng Family last year. Originally, the place was covered by bamboo trees which were also known as Xiaobi. That was why this three-story building built in the middle of this area was named Xiaobi.Back then, Sheng Family had reared its own singers and dancers. Considering that they needed a place for their performance, Sheng Family built a square in front of the building.The square was built with stones carved with the pattern of intertwined grape branches and Five Champions in a Family in the middle. Originally, the symbol of Five Blessing Bats was supposed to be carved to pray for the felicity and longevity of Senior Master Sheng and Old Madam Ming. However, Senior Master Sheng was concerned about his grandchildren and thus changed the pattern.A group of people made their way slowly to the second floor. Some smart servants were already one step ahead, arranging seats, serving fruits and tea on the table, and put
