“I bribed some servants from the second branch of Sheng Family. Nonetheless, the second branch was where Madam Bai has managed for years.” Madam Wu said calmly, “Madam Bai was a jealous and suspicious lady. She was strict in discipline. Although her servants acted cautiously around her, it was hard not to be caught by Madam Bai!”
Hearing her words, everyone nodded slightly. Madam Bai was the second wife, but she served as the Second Madam in Sheng Family longer than Mrs. Ao, the first wife of Sheng Lansi. Besides, Madam Bai gave birth to a girl and a boy. Before her death, rumors had it that her status in the family was weakened, but she was still the absolute female master in the second branch.
In contrast, it was already very impressive that Madam Wu, a 16-year old girl whose father was a scholar, had found several informants in the second branch without stepping into the gate of Sheng Family. If Madam Bai had not known anything about her scheme, it would
On her first day sitting on the pile of straw at the wing room of the ancestral hall, Sheng Weiqiao got one visitor, Sheng Shuihe, who brought her food and teased her a bit. She thought to herself confidently, “Grandmother and grandfather are both ill. Second Aunt just died recently, and Second Uncle is still in prison. It’s getting late now, and that’s why my parents didn’t visit me today! Nevertheless, when they come tomorrow, I’ll show them my anger!”Then, on the next day, Sheng Lanci and Madam Feng did not come by, which made Sheng Weiqiao even more furious!“I am their only daughter!”“Sheng Shuihe is their child too, but he is a boy. It is so outrageous to be ignored by my own parents like this!”“I have made up my mind!”“When they come and pick me up tomorrow, I will not go back!”“I’ll make them feel guilty so that they’ll realize my value!”On the third day, the only visitor she got
Sheng Lanci, who knew clearly his daughter’s temper, had prepared to comfort his furious sweetheart. However, Sheng Weiqiao didn’t lose her temper. Instead, she promised to be a good girl in the future. With tears in his eyes, Sheng Lanci said, “How much have you suffered these days! You are so obedient now!”After coaxing Sheng Weiqiao back to Zhuying Mini Villa, as his daughter washed up and dressed, he went back to the Spring House and asked Madam Feng with anger, “How can you put our sweetheart in the ancestral hall for half a month? Do you know how frightened she is?!”Madam Feng pounded the table and stood up, showing no weakness, “Don’t you feel humiliated?! If it were not that you went out to handle things about the second branch in a hurry, and I was afraid that she would be out of my supervision, I would not lock her in the ancestral hall. I only allowed Shuihe to visit her for fear that the boy from Xu Family would seduce her!”She w
“People from Ao Family are here?” Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao was very surprised, “Is Ao Family the one where Eldest Brother’s mother grew up? Why did they come to our family?”What she said didn’t mean that she had a prejudice against Ao Family. Since Mrs. Ao divorced Sheng Lansi, though Ao Family kept contact with Sheng Family because of Sheng Weide, two families had become less close. Even on the Spring Festival or other festivals when two families exchanged gifts, servants dispatched would see Sheng Weide in Jinxue House or Spring House, never entering second branch’s house.It was unusual, and even their Senior Master came here. They came at the time when it was less than a month since Madam Bai died!Sheng Weiqiao doubted that they were intended for Madam Bai. That is to say, they intended to add insult to injuries on Sheng Weirao and Sheng Weixing!“The Senior Master of Ao Family had a chronic disease in the early years, and
However, just after this group of people left, Sheng Weide made Xu Baomo feel like he had been beaten, “My stepmother just died. As the eldest son of the second branch, it was already a stopgap for me to temporarily get out to meet grandfather, uncle, and aunt. I’m sorry, but I can’t continue accompanying cousins to walk around the garden and have to go back to be at a wake for my stepmother!”He bowed to Ao Luanxiao and Ao Luanjing and said sincerely, “I hope you can forgive me!”He said that he would go back to the wake alone and let others continue to play, but no matter what the siblings of Ao Family thought about Madam Bai, they couldn’t agree for their cousin’s sake!At the moment, Ao Luanxiao said “surprisingly,” “How could that kind of thing happen? We came here hastily, and we don’t know yet. Could you lead the way and let us to merely express our grief?”These siblings were going to the second branch to express their cond
Ao Luanjing had no idea that her family came to Sheng Family to apologize, but she knew that Sheng Lanci had gone to Lin County a few days ago to talk with her grandfather for quite a while before leaving in a hurry.Then, Senior Master Ao made all the children pack up their luggage before they set off, and put a “gag order” on everyone that they should all forget the arrival of Sheng Lanci and never mention it again. At that time, Ao Luanjing was really confused, but she thought it was not relevant to her.However, after being stared at frequently by Sheng Shuihe, she started to overthink, “When Uncle Sheng went to our family, Second Uncle Sheng was still in jail. As the head of Sheng Family and the eldest brother of Second Uncle Sheng, he should have been too busy to have this trip. There must be some reasons for him to visit us in person.”For example, the marriage of his only son, Sheng Shuihe?After all, only his wife and chil
“I’m not a sore loser!” Sheng Weiqiao stroked her chin with one hand and fiddled with the stones in the bowl with another hand. She smiled at him, “I wouldn’t cry just because I lost several games. Don’t go easy on me, Brother Xu, or you will be teasing me instead of playing Go with me!”So, was she telling me that she was generous and virtuous to put my mind at rest, or she didn’t even understand what I just said?When Xu Baomo was trying to figure it out, Sheng Weiqiao waved the servants away with a gesture, leaned to Xu Baomo a little bit, and said next to his ear with a smile, “Brother Xu, we can go back to normal and stop acting today. Yingjiang is not here!”Yingjiang is not here…. Xu Baomo’s expression was frozen for a while, and then he remembered Sheng Weiqiao’s suggestion about pretending to fall in love to make Gongsun Yingjiang give up on him. So, his Big Weiqiao had taken what he said with love as the scene he made for Gongsun Ying
Sheng Weiqiao turned to look outside the door and saw that Ao Family had disappeared into the twilight. Besides, her mother had left for a while. Thinking that no one could not see or hear the movements here anymore, she lifted her skirt decisively and kicked Sheng Shuihe. Then she snarled, “How dare you come near me!!!”“Do you really think that I have forgotten the terrible experience in the ancestral hall in those days?!” She thought.Sheng Shuihe took a half step towards the side easily to avoid her attack. At the same time, he even helped Sheng Weiqiao, who used too much strength and almost fell to the ground. Then he touched her buns and said kindly, “Sweetie, why are you so angry? Is it because when you stared at me in Yiyue Waterside Pavilion today, I didn’t help you out?”“Nonsense!” Sheng Weiqiao was astounded and stopped kicking him. Then she said in astonishment, “When did I stare at you in Waterside Pavilion?!”Sheng S
Sheng Weiqiao thought it was lucky that she could return to Zhuying Mini Villa. Having such a brother like Sheng Shuihe, she was surprised that she wasn’t driven mad!“That d*mned Sheng Shuihe! D*mned Sheng Hengshu! D*mn it….” Even so, after taking a bath and changing her clothes, she didn’t even want the maid to dry her long hair. With her hair wet, she paced up and down in the room and couldn’t help gnashing her teeth, “I will never let you off!!!”Seeing this, the servants dared not make a noise. With their heads bowed, they stood respectfully and neatly on the side of the room, holding towels and other things.Since Sheng Weiqiao had stamped on his arm hard just now and grabbed him and kicked him after he had begged for mercy and stood up, she felt more or less gratified. Now, she walked around the room for more than ten laps. The water droplets on her wet hair soaked the back of her clothes. The light and smooth silk dress clung to her bod
Shu Zhaoyi lost her soul and returned to the Xuanjing Emperor placed outside the bedchamber, and was about to go in to see how the Xuanjing Emperor slept ... After she came back with the Xuanjing Emperor, because she was anxious to go to interrogate Meng Guiyu alone, she excused herself to drink wine to drown her sorrows, and left the Xuanjing Emperor after she got him drunk.This moment back can not help but go in to see, who knows just to the door to see the two chamberlains eyes and nose guarding.Seeing Zhaoyi come over, their faces all changed, and they bowed tremblingly, saying, "Long live the Empress!""There are people inside?" Shu Zhaoyi asked with a raised eyebrow when she saw that despite their respectful attitude, they never had the intention to give way.The two chamberlains looked at each other, with trepidation in their eyes, knowing that the Shu sisters were in great favor and neither were good-tempered.Especially at this moment, the ne
Shu Zhaoyi's expression was harsh, but Meng Guiyu's face was calm, and he said in a deep voice, "Back to Lady Zhaoyi, I really didn't know about Your Highness's suffering at all!"He glanced at Shu Guifei's remains on the door panel not far away, "As for why His Majesty and Lady Zhaoyi found that Lady Guifei was missing, they issued an imperial edict for the forbidden army to search everywhere, and in the end, it was me who sent Lady Guifei to His Majesty as well as to Lady Zhaoyi.... Ma'am, I reported up before that Lady Guifei wasn't personally found by me, but was reported up after his men found it. personally found, but rather after my men found it and reported it up, I went to see it!""After all, I have been favored by the two empresses and have joined the forbidden army as the Grand Commander of the forbidden army. When the forbidden army discovers a clue, it is natural to report it to me first, and then I will convey it to His Majesty and you, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!" Meng Gui Yu's expression was somber, his eyes were also red, stepped forward and cupped his fists and said, "After I learned that Your Highness and her attendants had disappeared, I couldn't believe that Your Highness had been in an accident! However, the Queen Consort lived in the Qiongxue Palace and the left side of the inch by inch search down, the Committee did not see any silhouettes, can only be dispersed towards the distance. At this time to listen to the water division side of the report, said the spring wave lake floated up ... floated up a number of people, all for the palace attire, the leader of the even more expensive clothes extraordinary, I ... ministers eleven million hope that it is a mistake!""But the minister to the lake, personally saw this body pomegranate red dress shirt ... I remember, two days ago also see your concubine through ...""This must be which bitchy servant girl, stole this palace sister's robe!!!" Shu Zhao Yi covered
The sky was overcast as if it were night before the rain poured down.In the back room of the assassin's residence, the doors and windows were closed, and it was too dim to see the outlines of things.Yi Liu dressed in Xuan Shirt strong clothing, full head of green silk also with the same color of the handkerchief tightly wrapped up, foot soft sole light boots, quietly stepped over the scarlet ground tangled branches of lotus pattern unicorn play beads rug.The short sword in his hand was coated in black paint, dark and heavy that would not emit any reflections, best suited for the immediate environment.She narrowed her eyes slightly so as not to let the luster between the flow of her bright eyes be detected by her opponent.The thunder outside the house had been raging for a long time, and her confrontation with her opponent had lasted even longer.She's in no hurry.In addition to the fact that this was the Assassin's Palace, the home bas
Rong Sleeping Crane was busy smiling and greeted her, "Auntie! I disturbed you last night, are you resting well now?"Xuan Yu Feng first looked him up and down, saw his gray head and face, and his clothes were dirty, then said in a pleasant manner, "I am an idle person anyway, it is nothing to make a mess once in a while, but it is you ... how did you get this? How to make such a mess? I just saw with you a piece of over the guards, are good, thought you also safe and sound it!"Let's just say that he, "Auntie knows that this child of yours is both literate and skilled in martial arts. But the so-called not in his position does not seek his own politics, you now is not to the district Gongsun clan to sell their lives of the Wuyi camp leader, but the king of the big Mu County, is the husband of Qiao Er, lemonade father of the king! If it is because of the first to fight, there are any shortcomings, you call Qiao'er mother and son in the future how to do?""What's mo
"..." Rong Sleeping Crane froze and said, "Good girl, although Meng Boqin is gone, the Northern Border may not be peaceful ah! And you also know that I secretly came from the Western Border this time, so after settling your mother and son, I will talk to uncle for a few more days, and also have to hurry to return to the Western Border."Sheng Weiqiao said, "You have urgent matters, you go to the western border first! I'll go over slowly with lemonade, at most it's just a few more days of traveling."She frowned slightly, ''Before I left from the Western Frontier in such a hurry, the things I lost down were just that, Geun Li, Ju Li those people, and the twelve niang and whatnot ... I'm telling you, if it wasn't for the fact that you were in the way of Meng Boqin before, and you said that it was safest to take the sea route to leave, I would have wanted to go to the Western Frontier to witness it no matter what. I'd like to go to the western border to see them before I fe
"Think of the good in things!" The plan to use Zhao Shi as a front failed, Rong Yuhe could only go alone to face his wife's doubts, he was on his way to comfort himself, "I can't say that my daughter is worried and scared alone in the camp, and she is satisfied to see that I am well past it. Why is it that things are happening differently from what she told me before, and she's not in the mood to get to the bottom of it, so I'll be able to get by with a few perfunctory sentences?"With that thought he looked down at his neat as new robes, pondered for a moment, and decisively halted his mount!The left and right guards were instantly aghast, taking off the bow hanging on the saddle and nocking arrows from the arrow pot at their waist while asking in a low voice, "County King?""... "Rong Sleeping Crane looked at them as if they were enemies, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said, "It's nothing. Well, you guys stay here, lone go to the side forest for a bit!"
The green-clothed boy heard, a face of "difficult to say" expression, once again look at Zhao Shi, mouth vaguely said, "I do not know how to say ... anyway... several stewards feel very difficult to make a judgment. ...Several stewards feel that it's very tricky and can't make a judgment, so I can only ask the County King to personally decide!"Seeing this situation, Zhao Shi raised an eyebrow and said to Rong Sleeping Crane, "I'm about to go out to see how things are going underneath, you guys talk over here!"Just take the old maid and go.The room is left with Rong Sleeping Crane and the boy, that boy immediately swept away the calm in front of Zhao Shi's master and servant, said in a tone of excitement mixed with inexplicable excitement, "County King! To tell you the truth, you may not believe it: brother Ah Xi, he ... actually slept with the Empress!!!"Yung Sleeping Crane, who has taken a hundred and twenty-thousand percent care and is ready to receive
Zhao Shi sniffed, froze for a good while, before asking with doubts, "You ... you send all the horses of your Western Frontier elite cavalry over? Then what about the direct line that you single-handedly trained?"Not waiting for Rong Sleeping Crane to answer, he shook his head again, "Not right! You kid has always been treacherous, not taking advantage of others would be good, how could you do something so self-sacrificing?!"Mind electric turn, suddenly eyes bright, breathing are a little short of breath, eagerly asked, "I remember you promised Deng Chen Liyu to help him raise his son and grandson ...?""I'm not as old as his grandson, what do you mean by helping him raise his son and grandson?" Rong Sleeping Crane cried and laughed, "It's just a promise to shelter a few of his heirs."Zhao suitable toward him leaned his body, attentive to ask, "The previous dynasty has the emperor Na Ru Ru princess as a consort, when Ru Ru accompanied by 10,000 horses, tha
