"Miss Sheng?" Hearing Sheng Weiqiao's sound, Huan Yehe, who was going to enter the Chuihua Gate, stopped. She turned her head and laughed, "Coincidences often happen. I never expected to meet Miss Sheng here!"
Sheng Weiqiao gave a salute and said with surprise, "Does the mansion belong to Princess?"
What a coincidence!
The mansion they lived in was near Yongyi Count Family. Now, the mansion they wanted to buy belonged to Yongyi Count.
Considering Huan Yehe's hostility to her, Sheng Weiqiao doubted that she planned to trap her with her own mansion after knowing their willingness to buy a proper mansion.
What did the Princess want to do?
Immersed in various speculations, she didn't notice Sheng Shuihe's facial expressions. Sheng Shuihe looked at Yehe with sharp eyes, indicating that he wanted to kill her.
Huan Yehe's eyes flickered, avoiding looking at him directly. She smiled again, looking at Sheng Weiqiao, "It has been a short time since we
Princess Qingfang turned pale after hearing that, and abruptly she said to the Sheng siblings, "Please allow me to excuse myself for a moment!"Then, she hurried away with several maids, leaving some younger maids, about twelve or thirteen years old, to serve tea and refreshments.Everyone knew that she had gone to take care of the sudden clamor outside. But, after Princess Qingfang's retreat, the clamor got louder instead of ebbing. Since the doors and windows were shut and an extra thick portiere was hanging on the door, it would be impossible to hear the argument clearly, but one could know that the fray was intense and bordering on a real fight.As she listened, Sheng Wei Qiao couldn't help but frown inwardly, saying to herself, "It seems I have all the bad luck in one single day!"First, they ran into Huan Yehe, who was undoubtedly not a friend. Then, Princess Qingfang forced the deal on her. And, now, something had definitely
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned and turned her head to look at Sheng Shuihe, but Sheng Shuihe was calm, and asked back lightly, "I am Sheng Shuihe, from Nanfeng County. I don't know you..." After a pause, seeing no one tell him how to call this woman, he also dealt with that perfunctorily, "What business have you come here for?""Nanfeng County?" The woman murmured and repeated it again, then said, "That's... how can it be so far?"Sheng Weiqiao felt it was inexplicable and said, "We did take many days on the road to reach Chang'an.""Nanny Zhao, since this house is not for sale, don’t waste their time." After seeing that, Princess Qingfang secretly pulled the woman's sleeve, and said, "Otherwise the two children will think we are forcing them to buy. They just come to Chang'an and are unfamiliar with this place! Don’t scare them!"Apparently, Nanny Zhao had a very different status in Gaomi King Family. She looked at the true-born Prince
Now, Nanny Zhao also felt a headache, "What the hell is going on? Tell me carefully!"After hearing Princess Qingfang’s explanation, Nanny Zhao doubted it again, "Did this person have something to do with Huan Family? In order to be successful six times in the imperial exam that has never been seen in history, he uses what happened in the past to trap us together.""I have suspected that, too." Princess Qingfang pursed her lips and whispered, "But think about it, Nanny Zhao. It's the twelfth lunar month now, the Spring Exam is in next February, and there will be a court examination later. The final result of the imperial exam will be released in March at the earliest! If there is something that happens in the court, the release of the result will be delayed and there are previous cases that the results came out in April!""Although Nanfeng County is far away from Chang'an, it is enough for our people to go and come back during this period!"
Sheng Shuihe cleared his throat and said, "Sweetie, do you think it has something to do with that day when you recommended me to the Empress Dowager? Uncle Tu told us yesterday that the quotas of Imperial Academy in the Spring Exam have all been taken by Gaomi King and Madam Meng. However, we dropped in all of a sudden, so they will surely have a problem with us!"Sheng Weiqiao followed his thoughts and said seriously, "Someone doesn’t want you to succeed in the examination, so he or she set you up when Sheng Xiang was looking for a house, right?"It was possible. According to Tu Ruchuan, Gaomi King and Madam Meng had come to an agreement in terms of the quota distribution of Imperial Academy for next year way before they arrived at Chang'an.There was no doubt that the two sides had fought fiercely for these quotas. Those students who were supported and foreordained by the two sides must have made lots of efforts, which meant that they, even t
Sheng Shuihe looked at Sheng Weiqiao, who was in tears and about to cry, regretting what he had said before. He knew that she had no sense of security since they arrived at Chang'an, while he kept making her think of the worst situation. She had been jittery only for his future instead of her security, and she might fall sick this time without enough assurance when hearing that Sheng Family would be in danger this time!"Sweetie, don't you forget it! Although Gaomi King is powerful, he is not the only power in the government! Madam Meng is also strong!" With his experience on Daimao Island for over ten years, Sheng Shuihe could handle this situation in a hurry, though with lots of loopholes, so he thought for a while and looked up with a smile, "The Empress Dowager invited you to go to the palace and befriend with Fourteenth Miss Meng and her sisters, right? Since Gaomi King Family may come at us, we could turn to Madam Meng!"In case that Sheng Weiqiao tho
Sheng Weiqiao wanted to jump in the icy pool in the garden nearby!How could I always be so impulsive?How could any human being keep everything in his heart for days, for months, or even the rest of his life?Maybe I was too stupid to remember all the lessons taught repeatedly by my aunt before I talked, getting myself into trouble.Thinking it over, she decided to blame it on Sheng Shuihe!"I would not behave like this without his words!" Sheng Weiqiao was so mad at him, "It is all his fault!"So, she glared at Sheng Shuihe angrily and smiled coldly, "I won't elaborate anything, and you should know what you've done! If you have no idea, you should just stop asking about it."She felt that something went wrong because it sounded flirtatious even though it was harsh.It should not be the way that a sister talked to her brother in anger!I said it not because I knew th
Sheng Weiqiao didn't stay for the speechlessness of Sheng Shuihe and ran back to her wing-room. Luckily, it was heavily windy and snowy, and servants were staying in their rooms with heaters. So no one saw her awkwardness except Jinli, who was asked to wait outside of the door by Lvjin and Lvqi.Sheng Weiqiao locked her door quickly when she returned to her room, which had shocked the little servants and Lvjin, who was sitting next to the window and doing her needlework. Hearing the sound of locking, she got up in a hurry and put the needlework on the table to knock on her Miss’s door.At this time, Jinli who ran into the room after Sheng Weiqiao came to Lvjin and made a gesture of "hushing"."What happened? Didn't Miss talk to Childe in the study?" Lvjin dragged her out of the room and asked her in a hurry regardless of the cold and windy weather, "Why did she come back crying?"Jinli only waited outside instead of serving them in
After Sheng Shuihe made up his mind, he called in Sheng Xiang, Gongsun Xi, and Gongsun Yingdun. He asked Sheng Xiang to talk about the details of his finding a house, and then he let him out of the house first, just keeping Gongsun Xi and other trusted subordinates here to discuss the solution.It was already dinner time after their discussion. Sheng Shuihe glanced at the copper timer in the corner of the room and was about to say that they should separate and have their meals first, but Jinli knocked on the door, came in, and said, "Third Miss said that she felt tired after going out today. She didn’t want to go to the dining room specifically, so she wanted to eat in her room. Miss Sun and Eighth Miss were the same, so they asked me to come here and tell you!""I see." Sheng Shuihe hid the smile in his eyes and thought that the girl realized that she had been seen through after she came back to her room. She must be shy and afraid of seeing him for a whil
