After a moment of discussion, members of the Bai Family soon decided to follow Bai He's suggestion that they should urge Sheng Lanling to go to Chang'an and make trouble for Sheng Weirao.
Undoubtedly, if Bai Family was found out, Sheng Family would not let Bai Family off. But compared with going to Chang'an in person, urging Sheng Lanling to go to Chang'an was a safer way.
Besides, Sheng Lanling was not a woman of high intelligence. Firstly, she failed to get established in Sang Family and then dejectedly ran back home for help. Secondly, in the circumstances, she should have given offense to Sheng Lanci couple, who were in charge of Sheng Family's affairs. Well, it was not surprising that such a brainless woman would do something totally incomprehensible. As long as members of Bai Family hid their identity and removed their traces, they might make her a scapegoat and detach themselves from the affair.
After all, there were fifty thousan
Unexpectedly, instead of showing disappointment or objection, Rong Shuihe just said submissively, "Dad, you are right! Sweetie is such a good girl that nobody will be willing to part with her."Seeing that, not only Sheng Lanci and Li Shengxu but also Sheng Lanzi was stunned. They thought to themselves, "Are you, who came here in person, indeed going to give up marrying her?""Or, do you love her so dearly that you are willing to settle in Nanfeng County and never go back to Chang'an?"Unexpectedly, Rong Shuihe paused for a moment and then said with a more respectful look, "Dad, when we met with Uncle Tu, he once expressed how greatly he missed you. He repeatedly sighed and said that if you had not resigned from your official post, you and he must have been holding each other's arms and traveling around Chang'an... Well, grandpa and grandma, who are old in age but young in spirit, have frequently attended banquets and had a lot of fun. T
Hang Hengfang was a well-known doctor in the county. The treatment of Madam Feng's body conducted by him finally paid off.Before noon, Madam Feng was about to give birth. In less than four hours, she was sent to the delivery room and delivered. Having heard the baby's cry, Old Madam Zhan was the first one who wept tears of joy when she waited outside the room. At the same time, the midwife could not wait to tell the good news that Madam Feng had a son.Madam Le and Madam Wu also cried happy tears with their mother-in-law. Senior Master Feng, who had always been self-composed, could not help but turn around and wipe tears in secret. Sheng Lanci was a good man, and he loved his wife and daughter very much even though Madam Feng had no son in the past. However, as Madam Feng's father, Senior Master Feng could only heave a sigh of relief after his daughter finally gave birth to a son, as it was of great significance to have a male heir in the family.
Last year, the junior members from the Sheng Family, the Xu Family, and the Ao Family were on the same boat to go to the north. They had planned to go to Chang'an. However, the members from the Ao Family got off the ship in Jiangnan for multiple reasons. Ao Luanxiao had stayed in a small yard owned by the Sheng Family for some days before returning to Nanfeng County with his sister.The Ao Family lived in Lin County under the governance of Nanfeng County. At that time, Ao Luanxiao thought his sister intended to ruin the relationship between Xu Baomo and Sheng Weiqiao. Feeling shameful, he made an excuse for being in poor health to return to Lin County directly without passing by the county. And then he blurted out the truth in his imagination to his seniors.His grandfather cared about the honor of his family very much. In the beginning, he didn't want his granddaughter to join the crowd, let alone her involvement in the love affair with other people
It was too late to give a banquet that day because Madam Feng gave birth near the evening. Therefore, Sheng Lanci led a group of chief stewards to make preparations into the middle of the night. Early the next morning, the Sheng Family finally sent out the invitation and prepared for the banquet.Lin County was not so far away from Nanfeng County. Actually, it wouldn't take a long time to be there.But Senior Master Ao knew that Senior Master Sheng valued Madam Feng. He prepared a generous gift for congratulation. So they didn't speed up lest the valuables were broken due to the bump of the carriage.Senior Master Sheng and Old Madam Ming were still in Chang'an. To show their respect to Senior Master Ao, almost all the members of the Sheng Family came to welcome the Ao Family except Madam Feng, who was resting after taking birth.In that case, Sheng Weiqiao had to walk and chat with Ao Luanjing, although they were disgusted
Sheng Weiqiao was very unhappy now. She asked all the servants to get out and then looked at Ao Luanjing who had just woken up, saying with anger, "What on earth do you want to do? Why did you do such a thing in our garden, even at the banquet held for my brother?"Ao Luanjing didn't answer. She looked around the room but didn't find Rong Shuihe. She was disappointed and then closed her eyes.Sheng Weiqiao was so mad that she lifted her quilt and demanded, "Answer me!"Ao Luanjing actually was saved by the servants of Li Shengxu. Rong Shuihe and Li Shengxu planned to go fishing and have a chat, so they came here with their servants.When Ao Luanjing came here, she was also with her maid. And when she fell into the lake, there were no servants of the Sheng Family except Juli.Moreover, Juli could not swim.So Sheng Weiqiao and Juli didn't know what to do when the accident happened. Rong Shuihe didn't
Being occupied by the banquet held at its mansion, the Sheng Family didn't care much about how the Ao Family dealt with the interlude.The poor Sheng Weiqiao finally greeted the end of the banquet after spending one month hustling and bustling at her aunt's command. She made her way back to Zhuying Mini Villa and directly went to bed!She was expecting to laze her days away as usual after that sound sleep, only to be told that another banquet in celebration of the newborn baby's turning one month was supposed to follow, with Madam Feng finishing her recuperation after childbirth!Sheng Weiqiao almost burst into tears. She tried to negotiate with Madam Feng's sister, "Is it possible to make this banquet a simpler one? After all, everyone has been tired from the fags. I don't think it's proper to overexert our men."But Madam Feng’s sister explained tenderly, "In that case, we can transfer the servants here from our farms and
However, Senior Master Feng had no idea how to deal with Sheng Lanci's worry. He said frankly, "Previously, I agreed to marry Yinlu to you because Yinlu really liked you, and I appreciated your good appearance and talent. Also, I gambled on this."His words made Sheng Lanci's mouth twitch repeatedly. After quite a while, he finally said disappointedly, "Father and Mother, I always thought it was because of my good conduct."Senior Master Feng said kindly, "It did have something to do with the conduct. But it was because of your father's, not yours. After all, at that time, you were still young. It's hard for a young boy to have a stable temperament. And just as you said, at that time, who knew whether you would remain faithful in the future? I just saw that your father deeply loved his first wife, your mother, and cherished her. He did not forget you after having a second wife. Instead, he still remembered your mother in his heart. This made me feel
After Sheng Weiqiao was driven away, Sheng Lanci and those elders shifted to focus on Rong Shuihe.They had been tender and kind to Sheng Weiqiao as she was their child. However, they would not be that kind to Rong Shuihe, a b*st*rd who aimed at getting their beloved daughter. Right after Sheng Lanci had asked someone to invite Prince Mizhen to come here and have a talk, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly grew tense. Those elders' faces were sullen, and their eyes were icy, making them look murderous.This scene startled Rong Shuihe who came in nervously. He stood still for a moment and then greeted them one by one. He said, "Father, Mother, Grandpa, Grandma, Eldest Uncle..."Senior Master Feng remained silent, enjoying the tea while condescendingly watching Rong Shuihe greeting all the people present. Then, he said slowly, "Your Highness, we cannot afford your greetings. After all, Weiqiao hasn't married you. Then, how could you call u
