When Sheng Shuihe was thinking, Sheng Weiqiao ran back to Zhuying Mini Villa in a hurry and locked the door of her room from the inside without telling the maids. She was relieved, "Luckily, I got out of it quickly."
However, she changed her mind and got angry, "Why should I run away from it? It was his fault to use me as an excuse!"
She regretted that she had not kept fighting against Sheng Shuihe in Xiezhu Pavilion. Why should she be misguided by Sheng Shuihe and forget the argument had never been about Ao Luanjing or Xu Baomo!
"I should have been much more vigilant!" Making a conclusion for her failure, Sheng Weiqiao thought in sadness, "It was because Sheng Shuihe was too cunning!"
She made up her mind that she would be on guard whenever she talked to him and never be misguided again!
When she was making her resolve, Lvjin knocked on her door carefully and said softly, "Miss, the servants of Xuanyu Family are here.
"Don't you understand or want to understand?" Madam Feng gave her niece a meaningful look and sneered, "Originally, your mother is pregnant at this age and she should concentrate on nourishing the baby. Of course, your grandfather said that in person for your mother, but after all, he did this for Sheng Shuihe!""After all, your mother has always been in charge of the backyard of Sheng Family. Sheng Shuihe hasn't got married yet and he still lives in the backyard.""If your mother had any evil intentions towards him, it would be convenient for her to murder him when she is in power!""But your grandfather asked her to devolve power to your Third Aunt on the excuse of caring about her. Although your mother and your Third Aunt get along fine, they are just sisters-in-law! Besides, your Third Uncle and your father have different mothers. They are even farther apart. How can your Third Aunt be willing to harm Sheng Shuihe, who is highly valued by y
Madam Feng Junior was sending Xuanyu Xi back to his grandmother when Sheng Weiqiao exited from the room. They bumped into each other at the door and politely made greetings.Xuanyu Xi had been raised by Madam Feng in the past one year. Sheng Weiqiao frequenting the house, he was somewhat impressed, despite his young age. He giggled in his mother's arms and reached out his hands, asking for a hug of Sheng Weiqiao.Sheng Weiqiao immediately took him and weighed him in her hands with some difficulty. She said, "He's heavier now. I won't be able to hold him if he keeps growing up like this!""That's true. It's hard for me to hold him now, let alone for you." Madam Feng Junior flicked the stray hairs rumpled by the autumn wind and said smilingly, "Luckily, mother knows how to raise the children. Or he wouldn't be as sturdy as he is now under my care.""Aunt looked tired, so I took my leave. I don't want to be a bother." Having dandled X
"I'm going to Chang'an?!" Sheng Weiqiao was surprised and remembered Xu Baomo made the same request this morning, who got beaten by her and ran outside. Hesitating for a while, she was a bit reluctant, "Mother, you just got pregnant. Elder brother is leaving soon. If I come along with him, I won't be back until next year! You want this?"Madam Feng sighed and said, "The farthest place you've been to since you were born was probably Daimao Island. No wonder asking you to go to somewhere a thousand miles away from home without the company of your father and me startled you!""However, it's not that I don't enjoy your company. At the moment, there is nothing you can do at this house. Why not tag along with your brother? This journey will not only broaden your horizon but also make your auntie hold back from taking action against your brother during his journey to Chang'an for fear of injuring you. This will help you bond with your brother and keep your auntie
What happened next was just what Sheng Shuihe expected. Old Marquis Xu and Old Madam Xia "accidentally" learned that Xu Baomo went to Zhuying Mini Villa but failed to persuade Sheng Weiqiao to go to Chang'an with him. Therefore, they called him over for more details.Xu Baomo replied with fear that he was afraid that he couldn't win the heart of Sheng Weiqiao before taking the examination. During the process of his journey to Chang'an, the charming girl might be seduced by others. Therefore, he took the opportunity of going to Chang'an with Sheng Shuihe and coaxed Sheng Weiqiao to go with him.Old Marquis Xu and Old Madam Xia were rare to be kind to their grandson, "You are sensible!""But why are you so stupid?" After the compliment, Old Madam Xia criticized him as usual, "How well-behaved, virtuous, and reserved a girl Weiqiao was! Even if she was magnanimous and didn't care about what you did the year before last, could she tell you in priva
Sheng Weiqiao did not tell Madam Feng before that Xu Baomo went to Zhuying Mini Villa because she was afraid that Madam Feng would be worried.But this time their whole family worked together to conspire Xu Family and Old Madam Xia even begged Madam Feng in person, so there was no need to hide it anymore.After knowing the whole ins and outs of the matter, Madam Feng felt angry and felt it was funny at the same time. She pointed at her daughter's forehead and said, "You are really vixenish. Please restrain yourself when you are outside! Staying outside is not like staying at home where a bunch of people are supporting you and helping you to cover it up. It will be good enough if other people don't kick you when you are down and don't exaggerate what you have done! If you have left a ruthless and vixenish reputation and the new metropolitan graduate has been scared away by you, it will be very hard for you to get married!"Sheng Lanci hurriedly
Ao Luanjing was upset. She failed the last time when she visited Sheng Family because they sent all the guests away after a few days for their family business, so she didn't have much time for her plan. However, she had come to Sheng Family for several days and joined the whole banquet, while things didn't get better.Except the day when they arrived and the day when Little Five came and she persuaded Ao Luanxiao to go to Xiezhu Pavilion, she had never seen Sheng Shuihe in these days, let alone had any private conversation or even eye contact with him!In these days, Ao Luanjing nerved herself and went to Zhuying Mini Villa to beat around the wood when talking with Sheng Weiqiao that Sheng Weiqiao could take her to visit Sheng Shuihe. However, Sheng Weiqiao, the well-known good-temper lady, acting like she had a problem with Ao Luanjing or could not understand what Ao Luanjing had meant, always changed the topic or sent Ao Luanjing away politely with the ex
Senior Master Ao and Ao Luanxiao looked at her with mixed feelings for a long time. Then Senior Master asked coolly, "So, what you have said just now is not for your brother, but for yourself to go to Chang'an?"Hearing the anger in his tone, Ao Luanjing said hurriedly, "No! Although I want to go to Chang'an, I also hope that my brother can go there with me. After all, Young Lord Xu and Cousin Sheng are talented. As the saying goes, one tends to take on the color of one's company. Staying together with them will be helpful for my brother's study!"While speaking, she looked at Ao Luanxiao with pleading eyes.Although Ao Luanxiao also suspected that she schemed against him, she was his sister, after all, so his heart was softened when he saw her eyes. Then he helped her and tried to persuade Senior Master Ao, "She is right. The two brothers are talented and brilliant. If I have the chance to stay with them, even a fool like me can learn a lot."
Ao Luanjing had no knowledge of what Senior Master Ao said to Ao Luanxiao after her leave.On edge, she waited for two days, and finally got the good news that Sheng Family and Xu Family gave them a permit to join the group for the journey to Chang'an!Though Senior Master Sheng and Old Marquis Xu's consent was in her expectation, she rejoiced at the glad news. Being eager to go back and prepare for the long-distance journey, she immediately set about packing up her stuff.She was happy, though, Sheng Weiqiao wasn't. Madam Feng being pregnant and Sheng Lanci being occupied, she went to Sheng Shuihe to let off some steam, "I don't know what's in grandfather's head. Obviously, her target is you. Why did he still say yes?!""We're using our own ship for the journey. Considering grandfather's friendship with Senior Master Ao, how could he decently reject his request of letting Ao siblings tag along?" In Sheng Lanci couple's absence, Sh
