After a dead silence, Ao Luanxiao's lips moved, and he struggled to speak, "No, there is no need for any investigation."
And he pulled Ao Luanjing up with a gloomy expression, "Come with me. We need to talk."
When they left in hurry, Sheng Weiqiao looked at Xu Baomo again, who shook a little and raised his hand, "Sister Sheng, I'm innocent!"
"Why did you knock on her door at night?" Although Ao Luanxiao said there was no need for any investigation, Sheng Weiqiao still felt confused. When the brother and sister of Ao Family went to the room of Ao Luanxiao on the second floor for talking, she asked Xu Baomo to find the truth, "Don't try to fool me. Tell me now!"
Xu Baomo said in tears, "Sister Sheng, will you believe me if I told you that I've fallen in love with Sister Ao at first sight?"
Sheng Weiqiao looked at him with a cold smile, "When you admitted the violation and tried to shoulder all the responsibilities, I did
With the intervention of Sheng Shuihe, Sheng Weiqiao finally gave up on the revenge to Xu Baomo, who was almost scared to death. She sat on the palanquin with a poker face and asked the servants to carry her back to her room on the third floor.Sheng Shuihe comforted Xu Baomo casually, having him return to his room for a rest, and he ran and caught up with Sheng Weiqiao, talking to her in a low voice, "Sweetie, marriage is too important to be made fun of. Even you are mad, you should not have told everyone that you would marry Brother Xu. If others know about it, it may damage your reputation!""Grandfather and my parents all want me to marry the son of Xu Family. If I say yes now, I'm just following their will. Everyone will regard me as a well-behaved, filial, and virtuous girl, which will never harm my reputation." Sheng Weiqiao was still mad at Xu Baomo and she thought that Sheng Shuihe had behaved like that because he had felt sorry for Ao Luanjing and
Sheng Shuihe sneaked into Sheng Weiqiao's room. At the same time, Ao Luanxiao, with his face livid with anger, raised his hand and slapped Ao Luanjing hard across the face again in the cabin on the second floor!He slapped her even harder this time. Ao Luanjing fell to the carpet and her cheek swelled up. She even spit out half of a tooth with blood!"Brother... you!" Ao Luanjing was so sad after Sheng Weiqiao exposed her lies in public just now. But she thought that Ao Luanxiao was her blood brother after all and he wouldn't punish her even if he immediately dragged her into his cabin.He would severely scold her at most and then he had to help her clear up the mess left by her!When she caused trouble before, her brother always preached at her gently and then managed to protect her. Sometimes he even bore the blame for her. Even if he had been captivated by Sheng Weiqiao this time, they were siblings after all.She d
Ao Luanxiao looked at her with disappointment, "Since you know that the ship belongs to Sheng Family and we can be here because our grandfather brought the matter up to Senior Master Sheng in person. If anything unfortunate should happen to us, Sheng Family would have to give an explanation even if our family didn't request!""Conversely, for the sake of their own dignity, how can they let anything unfortunate happen to us on the ship?""Besides, you always suspect Cousin Weiqiao and Brother Xu. Then tell me, if they had a prejudice against you, why would they let you go aboard? Why would they treat you as well as they treat Cousin Weiqiao?""Even if Old Marquis Xu is strict with Brother Xu, don't you know Cousin Weiqiao is spoiled by Sheng Family?""If she insisted that she didn't want to go with you, even if Senior Master Sheng found it difficult to turn our grandfather down, Uncle Sheng would make it happen.""Don't
While Ao Luanjing rushed into Ao Luanxiao's cabin on the second floor with a doctor, on the third floor, Sheng Shuihe had been peering at Sheng Weiqiao, sitting on the side of her bed.She was obviously soundly asleep, lying in the bed, breathing stably, eyes closed, despite his sharpening look.With her lips pouted, something seemed to have bothered her before she fell asleep. The stray hairs on her lips brought out more of her beauty of white skin and red lips.Only a candle lightening the way at night was there, illuminating the room during the darkest moments by dawn. He couldn't see her face clearly.Sheng Shuihe's countenance was obscured by the faint light, while his eyes were twinkling like stars."When I met her the year before, I just thought her good-looking, fragile, headstrong and childish." He was in a daze as the familiar sound of waves coming in through the half-closed window, "It's been only two years.
Hearing the words, Sheng Shuihe was caught in a tight corner but he managed to cover that up and said in a way as if nothing had happened, "Miss Ao is just an outsider. Deep in my heart she can never compare with you, my sweetie. I knew she had her temper from time to time. We don't have to tolerate her, but given the close ties between our two families, I thought we don't have to expose her. However, she tried to shift the blame on you in public. How could I not distance myself from her?""After what happened yesterday, I spoke gently and friendly to ease the tension and conflict.""When it comes down to it, the only person I really care about is you!"While saying that he felt that his hands were tied and thought to himself, "I wanted to maintain the impression of being a tolerant and graceful Eldest Childe of Sheng Family, and it is merely a form of address. When I was in Daimao Island, I said nicer things, but they never stopped me from my
Last night, after Sheng Weiqiao pointed out the holes of the story, although Xu Baomo was rude to go to the third floor and his motive might not be kind, Luanjing's slander on Sheng Weiqiao was a fact.Thus, the brother and sister should go downstairs early to plead their guilty.A few hours ago, Ao Luanxiao felt that her sister was not guilty of her behavior. In order to impress her, he bit the tip of his tongue secretly and pretended to vomit blood. Although Ao Luanjing was frightened by that, Ao Luanxiao had to be accompanied by his sister half of night because she was nervous about her brother's health. Now, It was at dawn. If it weren't that Ao Luanxiao insisted, Ao Luanjing wouldn't even want him to stand up. She planned to plead her guilty alone.Then they came late.When the brother and sister just entered the room, Ao Luanjing knelt down with a bumping sound, saying in a cry, "What happened last night was all my fault! I a
After everyone decided to stop in Jiangnan and asked a famous doctor to diagnose Ao Luanxiao, Ao Luanxiao was forced to start a rest on the bed.He insisted that he was okay. He even wanted to go to the deck to play a five-animal exercise to prove his health. But on one side, everyone disagreed. His elder sister Ao Luanjing almost kneeled beside his bed to beg him to have a rest; on the other side, the doctor told him privately, "The medicines I gave you could all invigorate you, even healthy people could eat. Now everyone cares about you, so Childe, why do you refuse the kindness?"Ao Luanxiao originally felt ashamed to everyone, but after hearing that, he felt it made sense. Anyway, he was about to arrive at the region on the south of Yangtze River. He could invite a famous doctor to diagnose his health, and then he could get up from the bed and bring his sister to apologize to Sheng Family and Xu Family again. He could also leave at the same time.
Ningwei Marquis Xu Zijing was born in the same year as Sheng Lanci and was two months younger than him. He was a tall and stalwart man with masculine features. He didn't dress up for receiving those juniors, with a round-collared cyan gown wrapped in a marten coat, a wide jade belt in the pattern of Kylin, and a pair of black boots.Two scars on his cheeks brought out more of his wild side, and he had a heroic aura around him as he stepped onto the board and raised respectively his hands towards Xu Baomo and Sheng Shuihe who came up and greeted him with a bow.While Madam Nan, his wife, was a tiny and slim woman.Because of her ordinary background, life had been harsh in her early years before Xu Zijing distinguished himself. Three years younger than her, Madam Feng was still as fresh as a girl while Madam Nan was obviously in her thirties, despite her translucent skin and elegant demeanor.Nevertheless, one could tell that she onc
