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
"Although I played with her feelings before, I knew that Big Weiqiao still has a crush on me since I'm so talented, young, wealthy, handsome, carefree, humorous, eloquent, literate and strong..."For Sheng Weiqiao, she was merely asking for help since she could not capture Sheng Shuihe. Although she and Xu Baomo had an unpleasant past, it was not a demanding request given close ties between the older generations.For Xu Baomo, her request was tantamount to the collapse of the sky. His hands trembled, his breath was short, and his heart beat so fast that it was difficult for him to calm down the turbulent feelings arising inside. His whole body was shaking, and the corners of his eyes were even sparkling. He thought to himself, "Since we boarded the ship, Big Weiqiao rarely talked to me. I thought she had given up on me. I only wanted to set her up with prestigious Childes who are less talented, young, handsome, carefree, humorous, eloquent, scholarly and st
This evening, after Xu Baomo took a shower and changed clothes, he opened all the large suitcases in his luggage, selected for a long time and finally decided to wear the red robe with round collar and kylin patterns. The robe was made when he left Cangwu County, and he hadn't worn it before. He had a wide white belt around his waist, which was specially sent by his mother. There was also a colorful palace of belt on his waist with a suet jade from Ningwei Marquis hanging. He wore a white silk trouser with golden patterns and two green boots embroidered with cicadas and phoenix tree leaves.He wore a small Chinese crown for men with pearls and engraved purple patterns, and a suet jade hairpin was inserted obliquely through the crown.After dressing up, Xu Baomo was very satisfied with his image in the mirror, thinking confidently, "I was so handsome, talented, young, rich, and knowledgeable. I had the gift of gab and was endowed with civil and martial virtu
