Anyway, Sheng Shuihe decided to move away with his two sisters and niece, despite Madam Nan and Xu Baomo's frustration. Madam Nan had given it her last shot to retain them, "Will you bide yet a little if you must leave? Please wait for your Uncle Xu and bid farewell to him! After all, he's the head of the House."
She had nothing up her sleeve now. She wondered if Xu Zijing could manage to sort it out.
However, Sheng Shuihe and Sheng Weiqiao merely felt amazed at her words. They believed that Madam Nan was actually the head!
"It's late. We've got much luggage." Sheng Shuihe declined with a smile, "Because we've never lived in that manor before, I suppose it will take us some time to put everything in place. I don't mind it, but I think Weiqiao and other sisters can be tired since they have visited the Emperor Dowager and confronted all these messes upon their return. We'll come here to apologize for our offense tomorrow, and I wish you would par
Xu Baomo had for several times wanted to reveal the truth behind Xu Zijing's love for cats. His father wouldn't lay a finger on his mother in any case, while his mother could be the one to launch attacks. He didn't spit it out, considering the possibility that Xu Zijing could beat him to death. He said stiffly with a forced smile, "No way. She was just saying that. My father... He's actually a reasonable man!""Brother, do you think you can know your father better than your mother, given that you have lived in Cangwu County for long years and hardly contacted your parents? Besides, like what Aunt said just now, his facet as a father can be different from that as a husband! You think of him as a reasonable father because he spoils his son, but does it deny the presumption that he's a fastidious husband?" Sheng Shuihe put in, "It's safe for us to reserve judgment! What if Uncle freaks out later? Wouldn't Aunt be terrified without you being there?"Xu Baomo wa
When Ningwei Marquis Family was in a mess, Sheng’s mansion, a few blocks away, just got quiet."It's our home. We can take our time to clean it. There is no rush." After the dinner, the crowd went back to their room for a shower and change. When Sheng Shuihe got cleaned up and before he could dry his hair, he brought with him a coronule made of white jade and put it on his hair hurriedly. Then, he put on a fox-fur robe and went to Sheng Weiqiao's place.Just when he reached the left corridor, he saw a dozen boxes in front of him, and two little maids were guarding the boxes while trembling in the freezing wind. Not far away, the half-open door was blocked by the hanging curtain, but behind the window lattice, he could tell there were several busy figures moving around inside the room.Sheng Shuihe went over and said in a loud voice, "Just take out the essential items from the boxes and arrange the rest tomorrow after having a good rest. Don't g
Sheng Weiqiao was shocked when hearing the words. She stopped crying and said in amazement, "Don't act recklessly!""Then you must stop crying!" Sheng Shuihe said, "Otherwise, I will kill Xu Caikui. When I accompanied you to Jihong Pavilion to pack, I paid special attention to the position of Jihong Pavilion. I won’t go to the wrong place!""Why did you enter her boudoir at night? How rude you are!" Although Sheng Weiqiao knew he was born in a group of pirates, she had never seen his slaughtering except for his killing Young Master Han.However, Sheng Weiqiao hated Young Master Han and even cut off his head. Of course, she would not feel that Sheng Shuihe was a terrifying person after shooting Young Master Han dead. On the contrary, she felt satisfied with that.Sheng Shuihe always acted as the elegant Eldest Childe of Sheng Family instead of the "Crow Slaughterer" who frightened others at sea. Though Sheng Shuihe had done a lot of
After sending Sheng Weiqiao back to the wing-room to rest, Sheng Shuihe returned to the principal room himself. Gongsun Xi, who had disappeared just now, came in and made the bed for him.Sheng Shuihe stood in front of the red sandalwood screen carved with birds and painted with mountain, water, building, and pavilion, undressing his robe. He put his coat on the red sandalwood magpie-head shape diamond pattern hanger next to him, and commanded, "As for the incident in Bishui County, Empress Dowager made a seven-day appointment with my sweetie. I have thought about it. It will be great if I take this opportunity to let the Empress Dowager and the eldest branch of Meng Family owe my sweetie a favor. Go to arrange this matter now!"Gongsun Xi's hand which was putting the jade pillow paused and a suspicious expression appeared on his face. Then he whispered, "Chief, how could Empress Dowager ask Third Miss to deal with this issue?! Does she doubt..."
"F*ck the tie of blood! No one in Xu Family is ruthless and treasonous like her!" Xu Zijing pondered as he showed Sheng Shuihe into the Marquis Mansion. He said indignantly, "We did you wrong. She's already engaged. I was discussing with your aunt about marrying her into her fiancé's family as soon as possible and letting them lecture her. So she wouldn't keep jeopardizing the friendship between us two families by her indiscretion and ignorance!""Uncle, that's definitely too much!" Sheng Shuihe instantly changed face. He stopped and said, "Since time immemorial, girls have been the side who receive courtship in a marriage. How could a girl's family take the lead and ask her fiancé to marry her? If you really do that, what would her husband's family think of her? It would for sure ruin her marriage life! I will never accept that. If you don’t withdraw that proposition, you would make us seem disloyal!"Xu Zijing's mouth twitched. This nephew was never at a
Xu Zijing waited for a while before saying vengefully, "Your personality is nothing like that of Sheng Family! Brother Xinzhang was slick in establishing social relations, it was not hard to bond with him, not to mention the broad-minded Master Sheng!"You are only saying this because you haven't seen my father in person in the past few decades." Listening to his words, Sheng Shuihe smiled the whole time and added, "I will guarantee that if my father were to learn that his beloved daughter was kicked out of Xu Family, he would sever all social ties with Xu family and would go even further than me. Uncle, although Old Marquis Xu and Old Madam Xia wrote many letters to you ever since we came to Chang'an, it seems like that you are still unaware of what it meant for Weiqiao being the treasure of the entire Sheng Family!"He sneered in his heart. Sheng Lanci was capable of giving the entire family business to someone who was not related to this family by blood
"Of course, he hinted us to show our sincerity!" Xu Zijing patted the table and said confidently, "From yesterday, no matter how we pleaded for him, he didn't change his attitude! If he really plans to break with us, he would not have spent half a day staying here! It can be judged that he doesn’t want to break with us. Indeed, he has some requirements which cannot be indicated clearly!"Madam Nan was stunned, saying, "But we have said all we can do for him! We are so sincere. Doesn’t he believe us? If he doesn’t trust us, why would he have given us a hint?""Maybe his requirement is so embarrassing." Xu Baomo was worried. He thought about the question from his point of view, saying, "Does he like Caikui and want to marry her?"His sister was really precipitant this time, but she was pretty beautiful!As handsome and outstanding young men like them, when they went to the family of their elders' friends, they would plan for nothing
Actually, the reason why Old Marquis Xu and Old Madam Xia concealed Sheng Shuihe's experience from Xu Zijing and his wife in the family letter was that they were afraid that this issue would be spread out. If it was leaked out, it would bring trouble to Sheng Shuihe's future and also hurt the friendship between the two families.But the reason why they even didn’t tell Xu Zijing and his wife that Xu Baomo had betrayed Sheng Weiqiao the year before was that Xu Baomo was brought up by them after all, and he was their only grandson. Therefore, they could beat him or scold him, but they cared about this grandson the most.Otherwise, they would not try to match their prospective granddaughter-in-law candidate Sheng Weiqiao to Xu Baomo.Although Xu Baomo was personally surprised by the match at first, then he got frightened. Finally, he wanted to avoid it, but from the point of view of his grandparents, their grandson was definitely young and had a p
