"But we could do nothing about it at present." Hearing this and thinking for a while with her eyes closed, Empress Meng said calmly, "Both Gaomi King and the Meng Family are not idiots for us to mess up with. Even you could see the whole picture, not to mention them. They would doubt it for sure. Then they would never let go of Mizhen."
Noticing the gaze from Meng Guiyu, the Empress was deep in meditation, "You mean... Shu Sisters?"
Shu Sisters had already fixed their eyes on Rong Shuihe as their adopted son, or more accurately, as someone they could count on when they got old. Shu Sisters would do anything to ensure that Rong Shuihe got all benefits.
Although Empress Meng didn't get along with Shu Sisters, she would not bother to come to and provide them with secret information. If so, the Meng Family would definitely hunt her down in the first place. Empress Meng only needed to let out the news to Shu Sisters in secret. After all, Shu
Meng Guiyu didn't hide it from Empress Meng anymore, "I have bought off some close followers of Gao Chengxuan when he came to Chang'an earlier. You know that our fourth branch is placed in an awkward position in the Meng Family. I thought that Gao Chengxuan had a bright future although he is domineering. So I had to buy off his men just in case.""Well, I think that you not only bought them off to know more about him but also added fuel to the flame, right?" Staring at him for a while, Empress Meng sneered, "I assume that it is you who egged those men on to Gao Chengxuan to ask the Fifth Sister to go to the second uncle."Although Gao Chengxuan was domineering and arrogant with a malicious mind, he was quite transparent and could be controlled easily since he was growing up in a rich family with everyone spoiling him.Besides, he was raged by the fact that his future was wiped out in a day while the people framing him up still remained a
The Wu Family had a small population. There was only Wu Yanyi and Xu Caikui except for Wu Ying and his wife.After greetings and introductions, everyone secretly looked at each other. The Xu Family and the Sheng Family dressed up to show respect and importance to the Wu Family while the Wu Family also dressed for today's meeting with their relatives by marriage.Wu Ying was about fifty years old. He had fair skin and gentle temperament. Apparently, he looked a little haggard because he didn't completely recover from the serious illness, but he looked much younger than his actual age. On the contrary, his wife, Madam Cen, who was said to be younger than Wu Ying, was already wrinkled with grey hair, which made her and Wu Ying not like a couple, but at least siblings.But Wu Ying cherished his wife very much. His eyes and every action were full of love for Madam Cen.Seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao was touched, "Wu Ying is one who h
The marriage of Princess Jianan and Huang Wujiu was about to be officially announced. As the biological mother of Princess Jianan, Madam Qi, who also took charge of the family affairs at present, had many things to deal with every day.She was so busy recently. She thought it was just because of the overwork as she found that she didn't menstruate this month. Until today, she felt dizzy when she found a small amount of blood. She knew that there was something wrong. However, she had already given birth to six children, which meant that she had enough experience. So even if she was a little surprised, she still calmly asked the servant to help her lie down and ask for an imperial doctor.Meanwhile, she was worried that Princess Gaomi would be surprised that the imperial doctor suddenly came. So she asked the servant to tell Princess Gaomi about this. Although she was calm throughout, the servants were scared. They sent the message to Princess Gaomi in
Seeing Rong Shuihe reject her without any hesitation, Sheng Weiqiao was stunned and asked in bewilderment, "What do you mean?""Sweetie, we have been so busy during the past several days. It's so hard for us to have time to be together. How could you leave me behind and go to the kitchen?" Being wet with cold sweat, Rong Shuihe continued his honeyed words, "If you go to the kitchen, then the time left for us gets shorter. How about you stay here with me and get the cooks to prepare us some food?"Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao gave him a pleasant smile and a gentle push, "What are you talking about? You will not be seated like some boss and have me cook for you just like some servant, right? You can come with me. Then you will see me and help me with the dishes."Remembering her cooking at Sheng Family, Sheng Weiqiao went on, "My father helped me during the cooking before."Wearing the pretending perfect smile, Rong Shuihe roar
Nanny Zhao sighed and persuaded Princess Gaomi, "Prince Mizhen likes her. And you can do nothing but be close and kind to her, Your Grace.""If Shuihe lives a comfortable and carefree life, I would not bother to talk her into doing all this." Princess Gaomi said angrily, "But all people know that Shuihe lives under the gun. I don't expect that she could help with the important matters of Shuihe. I just hope that she could take good care of him during daily life. Is that too much to ask for? You see how she talked back to me just now, right? As I expected, the girl from some small county could never be compared to the elegant girls of noble birth. She couldn't even see the whole picture.""But at least, her dowry helps with the pressing need of Prince Mizhen." Nanny Zhao tried to put in a good word for Sheng Weiqiao, "Otherwise, even if our Princess Mizhen goes to Xijiang, he can't do anything without money."Hearing this, Princess Gaomi
Madam Qi sighed deeply, "What do you think of my Third Brother?"Her trusted subordinate was stunned and didn't know Madam Qi's intention, so she replied cautiously, "Prince Mizhen has graceful bearing and elegant appearance, but he's just a little cold to our Gaomi King Family.""My Third Brother's talent is more brilliant than that of Young Lord." Madam Qi smiled bitterly and whispered, "If he had grown up in the Gaomi King Mansion and had a deep relationship with Young Lord, it would have been alright. But he has been away from home for 15 years. Now he's back. He is even not close to his biological parents, let alone Young Lord. In case... I mean, in case of any changes in the future, if my Third Brother is the final winner, I can die with Young Lord. But, my children... I always hope they can be alive and well. So, now that Third Sister-in-law is willing to get close to Guangchang and Yunyang, I won't stop it, even if I don't want to disturb Thi
Sheng Weiqiao regularly got up late. And she was entangled by Rong Shuihe for too long last night. The next day, she got up until almost noon. She didn't take it seriously at first because no one in the Prince Mizhen Mansion disciplined her. It didn't matter to get up late.Until sitting in front of the dressing table, Sheng Weiqiao suddenly remembered that there were two nieces in the mansion. She hurriedly asked, "Where are Guangchang and Yunyang now? Did they come to visit me before?"Canyue said, "Your Grace, the two princesses came to greet you early in the morning. The Prince happened to be here at that time, so he went out to receive greetings and told them that you haven't gotten up yet. The Prince let two princesses stay in the mansion as they please. Now the two princesses should be playing with Fifth Master. We sent cakes, melons, and fruits there."Sheng Weiqiao was embarrassed. She said, "Mizhen is going too far. He didn't e
Knowing that Gongsun Yingjiang had not changed her mind on the sex, Sheng Weiqiao was worried that she would not be able to convince this niece. So Sheng Weiqiao specially stayed up to ask Rong Shuihe for advice at night.Rong Shuihe returned in the middle of the night. Although he was in his prime and he was in good health, after keeping him busy for several days, there was inevitably a look of exhaustion on his face. Sheng Weiqiao felt distressed when she saw this, letting Rong Shuihe just fall asleep after saying a few words and not mentioning it.The next day, Sheng Weiqiao took Princess Guangchang and Princess Yunyang to the Ningwei Marquis Mansion.Although the two nieces came to stay here mainly for Little Five and they didn't care much about her company, considering there would be no other adults in the Prince Mizhen Mansion since Rong Shuihe had gone out early in the morning if she would go to the Ningwei Marquis Mansion alone,
