Chapter 3 The Attacking Son of Mistress

Sheng Weiqiao cried all the way back to her backyard and had no idea what happened after she left.

But even she knew something, it still wouldn’t make a difference. Sheng Weiqiao quickly ran to her room, threw herself on the bed, and wept so hard.

After catching up with her, Lvqi and Lvjin couldn’t comfort her at all. They thought about Miss Sheng, who was served by them, and since she was born, she had always been the apple of her parents’ eyes. Usually, if she scowled because petals fall from the tree in the courtyard, everyone would be so nervous and worried about something hurt her heart and asked her if she was OK. Well, since when had she been so aggrieved?

When two maids heard her cry, it made them feel sad too. Finally, they couldn't help crying along.

After a while, Sheng Lanci finally ran to Zhuying Mini Villa. But he heard the sound of howling as soon as he entered the front door. He thought her daughter would do something stupid after she left with anger. He was scared out of his wits and ran straight to her daughter’s room. But all he could see was she lay on a plain color pillow with some dark cloud and lines on it. Well, although she was tearing, she was totally fine.

Sheng Lanci finally could be relieved. But when he saw the two maids still crying loudly on their knees, he was so pissed!

He lifted his foot and kicked them, “What’s the matter with you girls in the freaking morning!”

“If you really hate me, you can yell at me. Why do you blame them?!” Surprisingly, the kick shut the mouths of the two maids, but his daughter jumped like a cat whose tail was stepped. She said angrily with a high pitch, “You don’t have to accuse me obliquely. You just need to tell us that there is no place for me and my mother in this family and let us get out of here!!”

Sheng Lanci also almost cried, “My sweetheart, as your father, I always treat you and your mother as pearls. How could there be no place for you in this family? I can’t even let you go! I can get myself out of this family, but I’ll never, never let you and your mother go!”

“We didn’t ask you to leave, but you still brought a mistress’ son to home, didn’t you?!” Sheng Weiqiao was not buying his father’s sweet talks. Also, these sweet talks she heard a lot since she was little. Before, she had always thought she had a good father to be proud of. But now, she finally understood and honestly believed the meaning of what her aunt had said was right, “If you believe what men say, you lose.”

“Shuihe had a severe injury before, and no one could take care of him. Dad was worried about him, so…” Under the daughter’s angry gaze, Sheng Lanci’s voice grew weaker and weaker, and finally, he whispered, “Anyway, when it comes time to divide the property, I will let you pick first, then he gets the rest to pick!”

He thought that if he said that, perhaps his daughter would be calmer.

But, unexpectedly, Sheng Weiqiao threw the pillow directly to his head and went off the deep end, “So, you’re saying that my mom and I only care about money?!”

Her biological mother, Feng Yinlu, was the daughter of the Wife of the prestigious Feng Family. Speaking of Feng Family, it was a very ancient noble family in Nanfeng County, and Sheng Family was just a rising star at best.

When Sheng Lanci came to Feng Family to propose that year, the status of Sheng Family could not compare with Feng Family at all. If the Feng Family hadn't seen his sincerity, they wouldn't have given him their daughter!

Now, her father Sheng Lanci thought that his wife and daughter disapproved of his son's presence because he would divide their property?!

Sheng Weiqiao already had been so speechless because of the anger, and she spoke with the shaking voice, “Even the Sheng Family doesn’t give us one penny, we could live with my mother’s dowry for a million years!!! Do we have to care about your small property?!”

Sheng Lanci finally came to himself and realized that he said something wrong. When he tried to explain, Sheng Weiqiao had already lost her patience. She turned her head and asked the two maids to help her pack. “My mom was right! What’s the point of staying here and fighting?! We should move back to grandparents as soon as possible and have them clean out a new house, so mom and I can live in peace instead of being like poor doormats here!”

“My sweetheart, just listen to me! Listen to me, please!” Sheng Lanci almost wanted to spit the blood. He held on his daughter and comforted her. But Sheng Weiqiao didn’t even want to talk to him. She was only occupied in commanding the maids to pack luggage.

Father and daughter commanded different orders. Poor Lvqi and Lvjin did not know who to listen to, only to do this at a moment, and to do that at another moment. The scene was a total mess!

Because of the crazy situation in the boudoir, the girl who came to deliver the message had to raise her voice again and again. “Eldest Master and Second Miss, Mrs. Xuanyu sent someone to bring the message that there was a new batch of clothes materials came, and she wants Second Miss to come to pick some!”

In Nanfeng County, there were now three top families, compared with two previously ‒ Xuanyu Family and Feng Family.

The person who invited Sheng Weiqiao was the so-called Mrs. Xuanyu. Actually, she was also her aunt who was seven years older than Feng Yinlu, and her husband was the ex-master of Xuanyu Family, Xuanyu Le. In a word, two of them suited each other by their family status.

However, no matter how talented Xuanyu Le was, he was totally a playboy. Although Mrs. Xuanyu had the backup of her Feng Family and her clever mind, still, she suffered a lot in this marriage.

That was why when Feng Yinlu got married, the Feng Family preferred to choose a son-in-law who could treat their daughter with a full heart rather than one from a family of high status.

But, fortunately, just two years ago, Mr. Xuanyu passed away, so Mrs. Xuanyu put her son in charge of Xuanyu Family, and now she became an old madam, and her life was finally much better!

Meanwhile, she sent people to pick her niece by using new clothes as an excuse – Well, even a plonker knew that she must come here for a reason, and that must be related to Sheng Shuihe. However, Mrs. Sheng had returned to her mother, and as her elder sister, this was not a good time for her to come in person. So, she made an excuse to take her niece and then inquired about the situation.

“My sweetheart, no matter what kind of clothes you want, you can just tell me. There is no need to bother your aunt, right?” Sheng Lanci knew well that the so-called aunt had a great deal of experience in the family life. Compared with his wife and daughter, well she was deep in scheming. Even if his wife and daughter worked together, they would be no match for her. Now, wife backed to her mother’s place, and daughter was still angry, if they two meet, gosh, who knew what she would teach her innocent daughter.

He quickly stopped her daughter and said, “How about I take you to the shop now?”

Although Sheng Weiqiao was talking about leaving, in her depth of heart, she was still struggling to leave the family, or in the resistance not to give the biggest bedroom to Sheng Shuihe. Now, when she heard that her aunt was going to invite her to be her guest, well, what a good timing! All of this suggested that she should take the opportunity to ask her aunt for a good idea. Then she quickly replied, “Auntie is going to give me something, not you. So, you’re not qualified to help me say no!”

After that, she no longer cared about any of befriending from Sheng Lanci and let Lvqi to manage the closed carriage. As for herself, she went back to her folding screen to change her clothes. Then, she took Lvjin with her and ran to the carriage. But, when she got there, she saw Lvqi stood near the carriage stiffly. “Miss!” Lvqi felt like she saw the lifesaver.

Sheng Weiqiao was in a terrible mood. When she got on the carriage, she asked, “What?” However, when she opened the curtain, what she saw shocked her.

Then came the full fury.

Inside, Sheng Shuihe wore a green round-neck robe with radix curcumae embroidery on it, a belt, and a white jade short hairpin was on his healthy black and well-groomed hair. The whole costume showed off his beautiful face and elegant character into perfection.

He confidently sat on the Sheng Weiqiao’s spot and showed a friendly smile when he saw she came in, “Hello, my little sister! I heard that you are going to your auntie’s place, I mean, I haven’t visited auntie before, so why don’t you take me with you?”

He said softly, “I heard that the Xuanyu Family is the richest in Nanfeng County. Auntie was also born in the Feng Family, which also is the top family in this country. I am sure she will be too lavish in greeting gifts to disappoint me!”
