"Fortunately, my sweetie and the other people are fine, so we can consider a long-term plan now." People in the cabin kept silent for a while, then Sheng Shuihe said slowly, "The top priority is to rush to Chang'an first to deal with the Spring Exam. After all, either Gaomi King or the Meng Family are both in a powerful position. We might still not be their opponents even we could become Jinshi. However, now we are just Juren, and we are even not qualified to strive for the justice of our sweetie!"
The statement was justified, even Sheng Weiqiao, who was really angry, also secretly nodded. Then she took the lead and said, "I also agree that we should make a long-term plan. In fact, I'm more worried that Meng Guihuan will backstab you and do tricks in this the Spring Exam after her plan fails this time, which will jeopardize your future!"
Hearing that, Ao Luanjing suddenly showed nervousness and stared at Sheng Shuihe without blinking. She wanted to exhort h
That night, despite her bad mood, Sheng Weiqiao fell asleep early because she had been out for half a day and had somewhat got tired.In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the rain. She opened her eyes and looked out of the window. The wooden gold-plated jade palace lantern with flower and bird patterns besides the bed, which was used for lighting at night, was surrounded by a one-foot-high forty-fold gauze screen for fear that it would affect her sleep. Only hazy light leaked out.Between the shadows, she could only saw the darkness outside of the porthole. The rapid sound of rain seemed to beat on the hearts of the people by every bit and drop.The whole world seemed like under pouring rain at the moment.Maybe it was because the hull could not bear the beating of raindrops, or it just moved with the waves of the sea, that the shaking was rhythmed and slow while making people suffer from unspeakable boredom and anxiety
Sheng Shuihe touched her hair and said softly, "Sweetie, don't worry. The one who made the mechanism would have died long ago. Otherwise, how can we keep the secret?”Sheng Weiqiao, "…"After a while, she got furious again. "Who made me stay at that cabin?! I'm going to kill him!!!"The cabin was in the position where she could eavesdrop through the floor, which later made her lift the carpet that prevented her from hearing them clearly, touch the mechanism accidentally and fall down to the second floor!It was completely the fault of the person who arranged the cabin for them!Then Sheng Shuihe said calmly, "Father did it! I won’t stop you from it!"Sheng Weiqiao, "…""Does father know about that mechanism?" Sheng Weiqiao tried to calm herself down and asked.Sheng Shuihe looked at her and smiled. "This is the ship arranged by father. How could he not know?""What if
Although Sheng Shuihe didn't hesitate to use his internal energy, the ends of his hair were a little damp. After a while, he walked into the inner room with a basin and breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he came in. Sheng Weiqiao was leaning against the back cushion on the bed, covered by the quilt. Her eyes closed, and her breathing was steady. She was already asleep.He carefully put the basin on the black round incense altar beside the bed. Then he looked at the girl who was sound asleep. He hesitated for a while but still attacked her vital point to force her to sleep for safety. Then he took the ice cubes which were prepared for making foods like frozen cheeses out of the basin and then moved the quilt slightly to drag out her injured foot. He applied the ice cube to it and gently rubbed it so that the blood stasis could be quickly removed.After rubbing for a long while, he removed the ice cube and saw that the bruise that was originally black and b
"Sweetie, you..." They looked at each other for a while, and Sheng Shuihe spoke first, "You have made a scene for most of the night, and you haven't slept yet? What's wrong?"Sheng Weiqiao was confused, "You... you went out again today? Why are you bathing now?"When she asked, she turned her head and looked at the copper water clock in the corner of the room to confirm that it was already three o'clock in the morning and that the night didn't just fell. Originally, she was in the wrong. But the guilty had been relieved immediately. She thought, "You can't blame me for being reckless. It's you who have messed things up. It's already the latter half of the night, and the servants are about to get up. But you haven't slept now, and you are bathing!"However, Sheng Shuihe sneered, "I want to have a bath earlier! But I don't know what's wrong with you tonight. You got up, paced the room, and returned to your bed. Then you got up, paced the room, an
After a long while, Sheng Shuihe, who was neatly dressed, finally untied the brocade handkerchief that covered Sheng Weiqiao's eyes and stretched out his hand, saying sternly, "Since you are not much higher than the wooden tub, I can carry you in my arms and help you get out. But you must keep still. Don't take liberties with me!"Sheng Weiqiao was speechless, "..."She stared at Sheng Shuihe with a false smile for a moment and said, "Dear brother, when I said that you took liberties with me the year before last, you immediately asked Yingjiang to come. Why don't you ask her to come here this time?""Sweetie, it's late at night, and you are in my bathtub. It's not appropriate to let other people know." Sheng Shuihe's pupils shrank slightly. But he had experienced life and death many times, and he was skilled at keeping calm. Now, he remained absolutely calm, "But is it appropriate to see my niece who is in the prime of youth in the middle of th
"..." Sheng Weiqiao stopped drying her hair, her eyes alternating between the towel in her hand and the obviously soaked quilt beneath her. She frowned as if feeling speechless.However...Would she easily shrink from Sheng Shuihe's accusation?! She was aware that to beat down Sheng Shuihe, she needed to be more shameless than he was!Thus, Sheng Weiqiao pondered for a moment, tilting her head, and threw her towel onto Sheng Shuihe's head. She exclaimed, her hands on her hips, "You knew that I was immersed in the cold water! But you merely felt sorry for your quilt! Why didn't you get me some hot water? So that I can warm up my body with a bath! You, shameless brother, are you really my brother?! I knew your promise of protecting me was a lie!""And I even saw you as a real brother and kept all your words on my mind!""You're heartless. I've seen how badly I misjudged you!!!"I was literally a fool. Knowin
However, Sheng Weiqiao failed to fall into a sound sleep in no time. On the contrary, she was deeply troubled, tossing and turning, "What's on his mind?"She had gained much experience in dealing with Sheng Shuihe through her two-year fight with him, and Madam Feng was also there to enlighten her.But being impulsive, she often let the emotion get the better of her. When she knew it, Sheng Shuihe already had the upper hand, and that was how she lost to him each time. Frankly speaking, her unexpected victory tonight wasn't merely thanks to her extraordinary performance.Sheng Shuihe wasn't his normal self.He was a good actor and had eloquently struck back every time when she questioned his conscience. She didn't pay heed to his behaviors at the time, but as she went through every detail in her bed, she noticed something strange, "The year before, I once whipped him. And to revenge on me, he sneaked into my room in the midnight, dre
"Wait a minute! This towered ship belongs to Sheng Family. I'm a guest; hence, if Sheng Weiqiao were to harm me, there would be many ways to attain that goal!" Ao Luanjing wanted to reject, but then she thought to herself, "As the old saying goes, there are things that are just inescapable! If I were to refuse her, perhaps I could get away with her plot momentarily. If Sheng Weiqiao planned other schemes and proceeded with them in private, I would be blindsided and only realize what has happened after taking the bite! If that were to be the case, there would be literally nothing I could do to undo the damage!"Thinking for a moment, she made up her mind and decided not to reject her. At least, she would be able to take precautions against whatever was awaiting her and said, "Why did you have nightmares? Perhaps it got something to do with your sprained ankle. The pain caused at nightmare? In this case, how could I say no to you? You already got hurt and are in need of a
