The dining room was suddenly in a dead-like silence. It was only Gongsun Yingjiang who was not surprised at the scene and kept on sipping her soup with a calm face. She let out a quiet sigh and thought, "Aunt Wu is still young and naive! Too naive! Little Uncle is not the kind of person who only feels a little upset and acts accordingly when you tell him to stop eating. He surely is not! Moreover, he is the kind of person who will eat more when you ask him not to eat!"
"The reason why he has restrained himself is that Aunt Wu is here, and she is still a kid."
"Back to the days on the island, under similar circumstances, Little Uncle would push the table upside down to destroy all the dishes! If he couldn't eat, anyone else should not, either!"
"Little Uncle was indeed telling the truth. He was exiled to Daimao Island since childhood. The first several years were total misery. He caught small fish and shrimps from the sea which could barely feed
Sheng Weiqiao was not very interested in getting close with the Meng Family, so she was actually inclined to decline Meng Guihuan's invitation. When she heard what Meng Guihuan said, she became even more reluctant to accept the offer, since she really couldn't do the embroidery well. Her parents had never wanted their precious girl to touch needles, for she might injure herself. The embroidery thread was soft indeed, but it might make her palm hurt! The needles were so very sharp that they might pierce her flesh!If Madam Feng hadn't persuaded Sheng Weiqiao to at least learn a little embroidery, Sheng Weiqiao would never have touched a needle at all.Since Meng Guihuan dared to thread the painting of the Mountain Nan, a very difficult piece, as the gift for the Empress Dowager, Sheng Weiqiao assumed that her embroidery skill must be splendid even if it wasn't extraordinary.Sheng Weiqiao quietly grumbled, "Who am I to give a master of embroider
After hearing about this, Sheng Weiqiao intended to thank Meng Guiyu with Sheng Shuihe immediately, and Meng Guihuan also put the feast aside. After all, she just mentioned it casually, while it depended on Empress Dowager Meng to decide whether Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu could participate in the feast as exceptions, and Meng Guihuan had no saying about it.So, they left the boudoir of Meng Guihuan, and Meng Guiyu had put on his daily clothes with deep green embroidered chrysanthemum patterns and sat in the front hall talking with Sheng Shuihe when they came out. Judging from their expressions, they had a good time.Seeing these two girls coming, they stood up and greeted each other again.After greeting, they sat down. Sheng Shuihe and Meng Guiyu both praised each other's sisters on their behavior and fortune.Later, Meng Guihan noticed that it was almost dinnertime and was about to have them stay for the meal, while a servant
Sheng Weiqiao was shocked to hear it, thinking that Huan Yehe had come all of a sudden, and asked in a hurry, "Where are they? Have you invited them to come in? Has anyone seen them outside?""Uh…" Jinli was stunned and said subconsciously, "The doorman didn't know them, so they are still kept outside. As for the question whether anyone has seen them or not, I'm too stupid to ask about it. However, it is snowing heavily, so there are only a few people outside, and they probably won't notice it when they focus on walking!""Jing Shu Princess is shrewd and ruthless. Although she intended to know more about elder brother's background, I can see from her last visit at night that she is also willing to keep our relationship a secret. Even if she changes her idea, Huan Family also participated in the event of Bishui County, so they dare not to break out with elder brother!" Sheng Weiqiao thought after hearing what she said, "Therefore, they won't come here in a c
As the next subordinate maid taught by Lvjin and Lvqi, Jinli acted like those two current subordinate maids unavoidably.For example, Lvjin had been worried about the rude attitude of Sheng Weiqiao to Sheng Shuihe, and Jinli took precautions for her master just like her.She now stood in the way to the study, trying to convince Sheng Weiqiao from the bottom of her heart, "Childe has always been forbearing and conciliatory. However, when we were in Nanfeng County, we have never heard that he had two lovers, which means that he hid the secret well. Now these two girls came to our house by themselves without escorts, so they clearly wanted to stay here for long and Childe allowed it!""He has made up his mind to let them come here to serve him!""Maybe he will make them his maids after the Spring Exam!""He has humored you in these two years, and he only insisted this one thing. If you refuse it, it will be embarrassing f
Even if Sheng Shuihe brought him when he left, he would not be afraid!Gongsun Xi had made great efforts for the future of chief, and even recruited Zheng Sen as his ally!He believed that when Sheng Shuihe ran away in a hurry, he or Gongsun Yingdun might go with him, but Zheng Sen, who had never been the young manservant of Sheng Shuihe, would definitely stay here!Even if Gongsun Xi was not here, Zheng Sen could be the one to explain everything to Sheng Weiqiao!The prepared words processed by Gongsun Xi could surely make Sheng Weiqiao dislike Sheng Shuihe since then and never consider marrying him!It gave him great pleasure to think about it!It was now or never!I had to work hard!!!Before Gongsun Xi could suppress his delight, Sheng Shuihe hit the table hard and said coldly, "The misunderstanding must be solved! However, why should I go out? Even for days? What're you talki
Zheng Sen was deeply shocked by what he heard, "You said what? What did you say? You mean Chief knew it from the start? Heavens, no! It was you! It was you who wanted to trick Chief! You coaxed me into helping you! But Chief hasn't said anything by now? Heavens! Heavens! What the hell is he thinking?!"Sheng Shuihe led Wuyi Battalion for several years and was both respected and feared by his subordinates. The reason why Zheng Sen participated in the scheme was that he believed in Gongsun Xi. Gongsun Xi said that Sheng Shuihe's prospects were threatened, and the scheme was very feasible. Now Zheng Sen heard that Sheng Shuihe had known about the scheme from the beginning and had acted according to their plan deliberately. He could not help but wonder if Sheng Shuihe was constructing a vicious plot against them. Anxiety soon consumed him.Zheng Sen, panicked, immediately resorted to the tactic he learned from his long years under Sheng Shuihe's l
Immediately, Zheng Sen had the intention to have a showdown with Gongsun Xi and ask to quit.But just as the words came to his mouth, he suddenly thought, "Wait! The little white face was so jealous that he made such a sounding pretext to pull me into the plight. It's a pity that I didn't see through his face before and believed in him. Now, he has cheated the chief, and I have already been lured in! If I asked to quit at the moment, what if he would take this as a threat to me..."Considering this, he thought he couldn't have a showdown. At least he couldn't do this before he confirmed that Gongsun Xi wouldn't blackmail him by any means!Otherwise, Sheng Shuihe would kill him if he didn't like men and disliked the people who made a match by chance between him and the man who liked him. By then, what could he do?After all, Zheng Sen thought he would kill Gongsun Xi and himself if he were Sheng Shuihe...Filled with re
"Just now!" Gongsun Yingjiang said with a look of innocence, "it seems you were talking in Aunt Wu's branch.""I wasn't in the branch of Eighth Sister, but stayed in the small drawing room for a while," Sheng Weiqiao said gloomily, "When do you think it happened?"Though she asked so, she could almost be sure that Gongsun Xi had already known the coming of the two maids, and he had notified Sheng Shuihe!Under the request of Sheng Weiqiao, Gongsun Yingjiang indeed "strived" to think for quite a while before piecing some time cues. After contrasting, Sheng Weiqiao found it was when she interrogated the two maids in the small drawing room."If Sheng Shuihe knew the maids were being interrogated in advance, he was well likely to expect that I would settle the accounts with him. If so, all the people I saw when I rushed into the study just now..." Thinking this, Sheng Weiqiao was angry again. Her eyes soared, and her fists clenched, wi
