A moment later, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Shuihe left.Not far from the back hall, Sheng Shuihe asked the servants to stay away and then smiled to Sheng Weiqiao, "Sweetie, Uncle Xu's raising cats is unworthy of being mentioned! I have been raising Brother Five since long ago!"Naive!She wanted to frighten him with Xu Zijing's raising cats?A man who did not raise a fierce animal could not be a good husband!A man without this awareness couldn't be a talented and handsome man!"Why will grandparents come to Chang'an?" However, Sheng Weiqiao changed the topic with a sullen face and said seriously, "You egged on them?"After the news that she was driven out of Ningwei Marquis Family by Xu Caikui last year was spread to the south, Sheng Family didn't mean to come here. Why would Senior Master Sheng come here suddenly with Old Madam Ming after the thing had been past for so long?"I pla

Huan Yehe smiled, "Did she have other choices? She spared the harem the daily greetings. She leads a reclusive life, and she doesn't like dealing with people, anyway.""That seemed to be the only choice indeed!" Sheng Weiqiao heaved a sigh. Shu Sisters were favored enough to eliminate the original empress, let alone a mere step-empress.If Meng Bijun resorted to violence like when she dealt with Meng Lijiang... She would become another Empress Wen very soon.Therefore, she had to bear with the two consorts.On the top of that, she had to exempt the harem from the protocol of the daily greetings to evade further provocation from Shu Sisters and to make nice with Emperor Xuanjing. With the battle between the Meng Family and the Gaomi King Family progressing, she didn't want the Emperor to show the Gaomi King Family partiality after hearing too many complaints about her from Shu Sisters.Sheng Weiqiao winced and continued

The result of the court examination came out sooner than that of the metropolitan examination, given the smaller number of candidates.The ranking was released on March the twenty-fourth, ensuing the examination set on the twenty-second. And the imperial examination wrapped up.To many people's surprise, and in a minority of people's expectations, Sheng Shuihe won the first place.With the absence of Gao Chengxuan, who was said to get injured in a fall, Huang Wujiu won the second place.The third place was a candidate strange to Sheng Weiqiao's party, whose political position also remained unknown to them.Putting aside the three best candidates, the fourth place was won by Xu Baomo, who came only eighteenth in the metropolitan examination, which also surprised Sheng Shuihe. He communicated with Xu Baomo on their essays after the metropolitan examination, and he estimated that Xu Baomo's rank wouldn't fluctuate

However, despite Sheng Weiqiao's goodwill, Old Marquis Xu made his way to the back hall as soon as they arrived at Ningwei Marquis Family and roared all along, "Where is the little br*t? Ask him to come to me! I'll take his surname if I fail to beat him to death today!"Old Madam Xia only laughed coldly, "So, you'll be named Xu, as you are now!"Sheng Weiqiao felt relieved as she heard that. Fortunately, Old Madam Xia was also here. She wouldn't let Xu Baomo be beaten up, would she?But Xu Zijing Couple exchanged a glance and heaved a sigh. So, it wasn't Old Marquis Xu but Old Madam Xia who had spoilt Xu Baomo!But Old Madam Xia continued coldly, "As I told you to discipline him, you must thrash him every day! He won't repent even if you beat him to death now! Hang him up every day before the meal, lash him with a whip steeped with saline water, and he will stay good!"Old Marquis Xu retorted, "That's what we di

Old Madam Ming was shocked when she heard this idea. Like Sheng Weiqiao, she thought that there was no reason for a mother to frame her son in the world. Did Xu Family want to continue the engagement of Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo in another way?She had been in Nanfeng County all the time before, which was far away from Chang'an, so the communication was inconvenient. As Sheng Weiqiao’s step-grandmother, she was not so close to the eldest branch. She was not very clear about why the engagement between Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo, which was originally favored by both families, was broken.Old Madam Ming only knew that it was mainly because Xu Caikui asked Sheng Weiqiao to leave her family.At this moment, she couldn't help but doubt that maybe Xu Family regretted it and they wanted to use this method to determine the engagement for the two families. Friendship spanned several generations in their families, and Xu Baomo got a good place in the exa
