Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiqiao looked at each other in speechless despair for a while. Then, Gongsun Yingjiang sighed, "Anyway, I can't stand staying here. I can only sleep with Xu Baomo every day and have to meet a handsome bodyguard covertly. I can't bear such a life anymore! Therefore, aunt, don't think about saving my face. After all, I surname Gongsun, and my father is also in Chang'an now. Just bring the shame on the Gongsun Family!"
"I'll tell the truth to my mother-in-law later when she comes!"
"Could you speak to assist me on the side?"
Sheng Weiqiao remained expressionless for a while and finally nodded painfully. She said, "Just have a try!"
However, according to her experience in talking with Madam Nan, she thought that would not work.
Having made that decision, Sheng Weiqiao remembered one thing. She asked suspiciously, "Well, I remember that the bodyguards in the mansion used to be Uncle Xu's
Obviously, Rong Shuihe came here for his wife Sheng Weiqiao. Unaware of what had happened, he just decided to stop by after learning from the servants upon his return that Sheng Weiqiao had gone to the Ningwei Marquis Mansion. He supposed he could escort Sheng Weiqiao back later.He was surprised to see Madam Nan, Sheng Lanci, and Gongsun Su gathering together, and very shortly he guessed the whole event.Madam Nan filled him in on what she thought had happened after Rong Shuihe greeted them, settled himself on one of the chairs, and received the tea from the servant. She burst out indignantly, "Shuihe, I need to hear your opinion! Weiqiao, your father-in-law and your foster brother are all too mean to Yingjiang, aren't they?"Madam Nan had addressed Rong Shuihe as Shuihe before he restored his original surname Rong. But she began to address him as His Highness after he rejoined the Gaomi King Family and was acknowledged as a prince, con
He left Gongsun Yingjiang no choice!Despite her ambition to sleep with myriad handsome guys, Gongsun Yingjiang knew to quit when her life was at stake. She compromised very soon as Rong Shuihe rested his cold eyes on her and whined, "Alright!"But Rong Shuihe wasn't satisfied, "What's that lifeless look? I promised Aunt Nan that I would console you and cheer you up. Won't she get suspicious if you keep that look when she stops by later?"Gongsun Yingjiang then put on a broad smile speechlessly, "How's this?""Unlike you, Aunt Nan is a sensitive lady!" Rong Shuihe said coldly, "She's praying now that you won't commit suicide by throwing yourself into the lake, or hanging yourself, or gulping down a gold bar. She'll think that you've gone crazy if you laugh cheerfully like this!"Gongsun Yingjiang was rendered mute.“Hence, it looked like I wasn't wrong when affecting to be lifeless!”"A
Unaware of what Rong Shuihe had undergone that night, Sheng Weiqiao enjoyed a rather good sleep. She didn't wake up until around noon the next day. Upon the realization of the time, she got up all in a fluster and summoned Jinli to help with the routine washing."Where is Mizhen?" She asked the maid as she washed in a hurry, "Have we heard any news from the Ningwei Marquis Family so far?"Jinli responded, "An envoy from the Ningwei Marquis Family called in this morning. Then His Highness left for the Ningwei Marquis Mansion alone, for he didn't want to disturb your sleep.""How long has it been since he departed?" Sheng Weiqiao was overcast. She feared that the Ningwei Marquis Family still made a big scene out of the drama yesterday with Gongsun Yingjiang failing to pacify Madam Nan.Whatever, it was several hours ago already when Rong Shuihe set off to intervene in the possible occurrence at the Ningwei Marquis Mansion, and
There was a deadly silence in the room. Sheng Weiqiao was startled, and Gongsun Yingjiang was fearful. Gongsun Yingjiang was guilty about Madam Nan, who had defended her so firmly. Meanwhile, she worried that the exposure of the truth behind her affair with Xu Baomo would escalate into a political issue, making an impact on the imperial court. In which case, Rong Shuihe wouldn't let her off the hook for sure.But Xu Baomo thought his savior finally appeared!He yelled in exultance, ignoring the awkward fact that his face was severely scarred by Gongsun Yingjiang who was on top of him now, "Mother, do you see it? This tigress is anything but meek, demure, and virtuous!"Gongsun Yingjiang dropped the duster and got up wordlessly. She stole a glance at Rong Shuihe and Sheng Weiqiao as she smoothed her clothing, only to see that Sheng Weiqiao was dumbfounded and that Rong Shuihe nonchalantly narrowed his eyes. Obviously, she could count on n
On that day, Rong Shuihe and Sheng Weiqiao left the Ningwei Marquis Mansion with Gongsun Yingjiang's promise of beating Xu Baomo to death. Since Xu Baomo looked for trouble himself, neither Rong Shuihe nor Sheng Weiqiao cared what he would suffer from his wife Gongsun Yingjiang and how Old Marquis Xu and the other two seniors would fix him after they came back.It served that b*st*rd right no matter how miserable his end would be!Putting behind Xu Baomo's matter, Rong Shuihe remembered one thing. He asked Sheng Weiqiao, "Well, sweetie, the 29th of this month is your birthday. How do you like to celebrate it? Would you like to invite others to our mansion to have a party? Or we two go to the manor outside the city to relax?"Sheng Weiqiao would have forgotten her birthday if Rong Shuihe had not reminded her. At that time, her seniors were in Chang'an, and it was usual for a child in her seniority not to have a grand birthday celebration
After Sheng Weirao had left, Sheng Weiqiao called over the chief steward and asked him, "Who have you invited to the birthday party?"The chief steward answered with folded arms, "Your Grace, Prince Mizhen said as Senior Master Sheng, Senior Master Feng, and Old Madam Zhan would start back towards Nanfeng County after your birthday party, the party would also be a farewell party for them. Therefore, he doesn't plan to invite others but only wants to have a family party."Rong Shuihe just meant to invite the Sheng Family and the Ningwei Marquis Family. As for the Gaomi King Family, he only invited Rong Qingzhuo and his families since Gaomi King and Princess Gaomi as their seniors would not come to celebrate their daughter-in-law's birthday. However, he didn't invite Princess Qingfang and even didn't mention Rong Qingzui or Princess Huihe, let alone the Zhao Family which was only his maternal grandparents' family.Hearing the chief steward
Sheng Weiwu and the twins, Princess Guangchang and Princess Yunyang, were finally forcibly taken away by their elders respectively. Old Madam Ming warned Sheng Weiwu not to continue out of perversity and she also whispered to Sheng Weiqiao before those three girls left obediently, "This leopard is so big that it looks scary. Why did you just keep it in the yard openly? What if it hurts someone one day? You'd better shut it in a cage when you have time!”Then she mentioned Twelfth Lady, "Fortunately, your grandfather and your father gave you a lion cat to keep. This is the kind of normal pets we should have, being cute and harmless!"Sheng Weiqiao smiled and nodded. After seeing the guests and returning to her room, she tugged at the ears of Twelfth Lady and said, "You little b*st*rd! I specially allocated two maids to serve you with delicious food and good care! Granted that I don't hope you can beat down Little Five, still, why do you turn to Little
Sheng Weiqiao had been given some advice by Madam Feng's sister in advance. Looking at this situation, she naturally thought those people from the Zhao Family were making trouble for Sheng Weirao, so her expression immediately became serious!Fortunately, Princess Yunyang raised her voice and asked, "What are you all doing around here?""Third Sister, you're here!" Sheng Weirao, who was standing in the middle, felt lucky as if seeing a savior when hearing the words. She quickly pushed those people from the Zhao Family away and walked over quickly, "I was just looking for you!"This situation looked more like that Sheng Weirao was troubled by the people from the Zhao Family and she was eager to seek help. Sheng Weiqiao raised her hand and pulled Sheng Weirao behind her. When she was about to say something to Zhao Li and Zhao Taoxuan who were following them, "Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. If you two ha
