Not disappointing everyone, Sheng Weiqiao smashed the tea bowl, “Junk! Try again!”
Looking at the tea bowl flying towards his head, the young man quickly pulled Sheng Lanci who was unguarded in front of him without any thought.
"Clang!"
With the tea splash, the tea bowl fell to the ground and fell apart!
Sheng Lanci, who was splashed with tea water and leaves, “...”
Old Madam Ming and others, “...!”
Sheng Weiqiao, “!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"Eldest Master, are you okay?" When everyone turned to look at the culprit, however, the young man took out the handkerchief generously to give Sheng Lanci a wipe, and he said with concern as he rubbed, "Poor father, when you saw the tea bowl come over, why didn't you take cover? Fortunately, the tea was not hot. Otherwise, you would have been injured."
Sheng Lanci swallowed a mouthful of blood silently: I don’t need to take cover at all!!
He endured, but Sheng Weiqiao was about to be furious. After a moment stunned by the young man's rudeness, she stood up and ran down and then asked Sheng Lanci, “Father, does it matter?”
After Sheng Lanci indicated no injuries with full of relief, she kicked the young man without saying a word, "You..."
Used to being a gentlewoman, Sheng Weiqiao was so angry but she couldn't think of any curse, so she just gritted her teeth and said, "How dare you!!!"
This time the young man didn't pull Sheng Lanci forward to stop the disaster for him. Instead, he stood there and suffered a kick from her, still smiling, "Father is old, and he can't react in time. As you are thoughtful, filial, gentle, considerate, smart, beautiful, tolerant... you should think for him! "
Before he finished talking, Sheng Weiqiao had quickly kicked him so many times that a pair of white silk trousers under his black coat was covered with marks. But even then, she still did not vent her hate, so she panted and looked around, trying to find something to beat him. Everyone in this hall was a little overwhelmed, but when her seven-year-old cousin Sheng Weiwu who was always respecting her sister saw this, she actually helped her by holding a one-foot-tall garlic-shaped bottle with patterns of cranes and lucid ganoderma to her sister!
"Weiwu!" Sheng Weiwu's father and mother, the Sheng Family's third master and his wife, almost vomited blood because of this scene, and wanted to stand up and stop this. Breaking out in a cold sweat, Sheng Lanci quickly grabbed the garlic-shaped bottle and stared at his troubled niece. Then he hid the bottle behind him and smiled at her daughter, "Sweetheart, guess what did your father bring back for you this time?"
He wanted to use this topic to divert his daughter's attention, at least to ease the atmosphere. However, Sheng Weiqiao didn't look at him with a sneer, pointing at the young man and said, "This is still a question? Isn't the thing you brought back here?"
"..." Sheng Lanci swallowed a mouthful of blood again, and continued to smile flatteringly, “Daddy didn’t talk about Shuihe, but a dagger. Didn't you want the short knife of the royal gift in your grandfather's study last time? It’s just that the knife is too heavy for a girl, and it’s not convenient to carry, so I wanted to get you a better dagger...”
When he spoke about this, the young man Sheng Shuihe suddenly showed a look of shock. While letting Sheng Weiqiao kick him, he seemed to smile and said, "It turned out that my father took my dagger left from my mother for my sister? If you had said that earlier, wouldn’t I have hesitated so long to give you that? "
"You actually gave me a mistress’s thing?!" Sheng Weiqiao heard it, furious, and said madly, "You don't feel dirty, but I feel sick all the time—and you! Keep your mother’s thing to you away. Don't come to stain my place, as it will stain my eyes!!! "
Sheng Weiqiao said more sadly. Although she was dissatisfied that Sheng Lanci took Sheng Shuihe back, she was still worried. After smashing the tea bowl, she had seen that Sheng Lanci was pulled forward to be a shield by his son.
However, although this dad was treated like this under everyone’s eyes by his son who was just taken into the door, he didn't say a word of blame. Instead, he had stopped her from helping him teach such a rude son.
Not only that, he even wanted to please her with his mistress’s thing now. In the past, every time when Sheng Lanci went out, didn’t he bring his daughter a gift that he had picked for a long time and tried his best? In contrast, today... now...
She glared at Sheng Lanci with tears in her eyes, and kicked Sheng Shuihe hard again, gritting her teeth and said, "Your father and son have a great rapport! I will not hinder you!"
As she spoke, she ignored Sheng Lanci's stop with panic. She raised her sleeves to cover her face and ran away, crying.
"This is Shuihe. His teacher has given him the courtesy name, Hengshu. He’s sick, so I took him back to take care of him." Sheng Lanci was heart-broken when he saw his daughter was so angry that she ran away, so he introduced the son in a hurry and he said, "Thank you for being worried about your grandson, madam. Now that everyone has seen him, you don’t have to be so tired!"
However, the meaning of the sentence was to cancel all the following activities such as greetings and tea serving, suggesting that Old Madam Ming and others could go.
Although very unruly, Old Madam Ming and others had to leave—The Senior Master of Sheng family was violent and partial to Sheng Lanci who was the first son of the wife. A few days ago, before he went out to visit friends, he had asked everyone to obey the arrangement of Sheng Lanci when he was not at home, including his remarried wife Old Madam Ming!
If anyone dared to disobey, when Senior Master returned, he would teach him to be a man himself!
"Although we can't see how Eldest Master ends, Weiqiao has left." Old Madam Ming and others comforted themselves, "We have seen the scene from beginning to end, and it was worth drinking tea for this half a day!"
Watching them leave, before Sheng Lanci was going to run after his daughter, he suddenly remembered what happened just now, and he could not help but question Sheng Shuihe, "You know that dagger is an ancient object that I spent a thousand tael of silver specially. Why did you tell my sweetheart that it was from your mother?!"
If Sheng Shuihe had not made the trouble like this deliberately, Sheng Weiqiao wouldn't have been so angry and walked away!
Unexpectedly, Sheng Shuihe looked at him with a smile and said slowly, "Smart, sensible, filial, gentle, considerate, clever, beautiful, tolerant?"
Seeing Sheng Lanci's old face blush when he heard these words, the smile on Sheng Shuihe’s face became more playful, "You vowed that all the above virtues could not describe one-tenth of the merits of your daughter. She is a unique lady in the world. So when I come here, I can’t bully her? Uh? "
Everyone in the hall just thought that he, Sheng Shuihe, was shameless?
The really shameless one was definitely Sheng Lanci! Ok?
He described such a fierce and rude girl that all the virtuous women couldn't compare with her. He also told him not to bully the girl. It made him believe that he really has a gentle, shy and timid sister!
What was the result?
If Sheng Lanci had not snatched the bottle just now, looking at Sheng Weiqiao's aggressive posture, she could have killed him on the spot!
Such a tigress! Sheng Lanci even described her as a little white rabbit!
—Sheng Shuihe had never seen such a shameless person!
Sheng Weiqiao cried all the way back to her backyard and had no idea what happened after she left. But even she knew something, it still wouldn’t make a difference. Sheng Weiqiao quickly ran to her room, threw herself on the bed, and wept so hard.After catching up with her, Lvqi and Lvjin couldn’t comfort her at all. They thought about Miss Sheng, who was served by them, and since she was born, she had always been the apple of her parents’ eyes. Usually, if she scowled because petals fall from the tree in the courtyard, everyone would be so nervous and worried about something hurt her heart and asked her if she was OK. Well, since when had she been so aggrieved? When two maids heard her cry, it made them feel sad too. Finally, they couldn't help crying along.After a while, Sheng Lanci finally ran to Zhuying Mini Villa. But he heard the sound of howling as soon as he entered the front door. He thought her daughter would do somet
Never before had Sheng Weiqiao seen such a brazen person!As soon as the bastard entered the house, he mocked her as a fierce woman in public. He used her dad as a shield and drove her away by his words. In Sheng Weiqiao's view, the hatred between them could even fill an ocean, if not the sky.And now, how dare the daydreaming guy wanted to go with her and get some benefits from the Xuanyu Family, where the son of her aunt took charge?!!Sheng Weiqiao suspected that the woman seducing her father was probably not a vixen spirit, because only the demon of the rhinoceros and the elephant could give birth to such a thick-skinned person!"Miss Sheng, if he wants to follow you to the Xuanyu Family, why not just let him go?" said Lvjin. As her anger was about to break out, Lvjin added in her ear, "How crafty the old Madam of Xuanyu Family is. After Sheng Shuihe arrives, there must be various ways to play a trick on him!"Eyes
Before Madam Feng finished her words and the grievance came to Sheng Weiqiao's mind, Mrs. Zhan got impatient first and rolled her sleeves to clutch her big daughter, snapping, "What are you saying!""Stop messing up, mother!" Madam Feng dodged with irritation and hit the table, "I'll tell the truth. My sister has no son. No matter how nice Weiqiao is, she'll marry someone else—now Sheng Lanci didn't grumble or have other concubines but only bring back a son of a mistress. He didn't even bring the mistress! Anyone who's asked to make judgments on this case would persuade us to forgive!""But Sheng Lanci, when he proposed to Yinlu, made such big vow that he wouldn't drift from her in any case!" Mrs. Zhan wasn't convinced, "If he didn't say that, even if he brought back a son of a mistress or that he had a concubine, I would say nothing though I feel sorry for my daughter and granddaughter! But he made the vow and he broke it, so why can't we question that?"
On this day's trip to Xuanyu Mansion, Sheng Weiqiao came back from a good mood into a bad one.On the way back, the more she thought about the reprimand she heard from her aunt today, the angrier she became. She even refused to go back to Sheng’s Mansion. She was wondering if she should go straight to the Feng family to meet her mother. The carriage stopped suddenly. Without waiting for Sheng Weiqiao to get angry, a sweet and crisp voice sounded outside the carriage, "Big Weiqiao?""Little Jiuniang?" Sheng Weiqiao turned her anger into joy when she heard the voice. She had got up quickly, pulled up the curtain and got off the carriage before maid reacted. She took the girl in purple with bright eyes beside the shaft and asked happily, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you would not come until next month?"The girl reached out her finger and pinched her cheek, pretending to be angry, "No rules! Call my cousin instead of Little Jiuniang!"
Xuanyu Che said with a smile as expected, “I heard that your new elder brother made you so mad today. I care about you.”Sheng Weiqiao and Shen Jiuniang’s face became sullen at the same time. Although the social atmosphere was open at that time, saying the words “care about you” on the street like Xuanyu Che did was still offensive. In fact, nothing had ever happened between Sheng Weiqiao and him!“My cousin, have you made a fortune recently and repaid the debts of Tianxiang Lou totally?” Sheng Weiqiao sneered and asked back, “otherwise, why do you have spare time to care about other people’s business?”The reason Xuanyu Che wanted to seduce Sheng Weiqiao was that he was a frequenter of Tianxiang Lou due to his concupiscent nature. As the top one brothel among all the brothels, it was sure that the customers had to pay a lot for it.Xuanyu Che, as the current house host’s related cousin, could only afford the daily extravagant life
Sheng Weiqiao had stepped on Sheng Shuihe’s foot on purpose, and Shen Jiuniang comforted her all their way back home. However, she still felt wronged.After returning to the Sheng Family, she shouted at the chief steward of the Sheng Family regardless of her need for changing clothes in her room. “Were those guards picked by you? They were like dead men! When Xuanyu Che insulted me and even my mother to my face, they just stood there and watched, like some of the onlookers! Did they see me as an insignificant one after Sheng Shuihe entered the family?!” She shouted.Sheng Lanci heard the news. When Sheng Weiqiao was scolding the chief steward, he happened to arrive to give her some comforts. He was furious after hearing that, “Junk! You did your job in that way?!”The chief steward pleaded his guilty words after words with a very careful mind. Because Sheng Weiqiao wanted to visit her aunt’s family, after Sheng Lanci took over the task of teach
Chapter 9 The Worried Old Madam MingThe old friend that Senior Master Sheng visited was Xu Baoting, whose son was the Ningwei Marquis, named Xu Zijing.Those two elderly people met in the army when they were teenagers. During the years of war in Beijiang, they warded off arrows and swords with their own body for each other, saving each other on many occasions. Therefore, they had a very deep friendship.After their leaving from the army because of the old age, they no longer stayed with each other day and night. Later on, the Xu Family was conferred as the Marquis. Such changes didn’t estrange them. On the contrary, they became more closely associated.Nevertheless, there was a huge gap between their social classes. Old Madam Ming got very nervous.Although her daughter, as well as her daughter’s family, had just arrived, she was in no mood to entertain them. She sent a maid to call over Sheng Lanci to have a discussi
In fact, Sheng Shuihe didn’t want to run this errand. He sat on the couch and spoke to the steward through the curtain, “The reason why my father took me home was that I got wounded seriously, and he was worried about my wounds might result in sequela because no one could take care of me out there! So, how am I supposed to work with an injury?”Then, he coughed.The steward smiled sadly and thought that actually, Sheng Lanci did say the same thing after he brought his son home.But during these days, everyone started to talk about the news that Sheng Family’s son hit a person for his sister. Now, everybody knew that the first day Sheng Shuihe came back home, he beat the ass of the Xuanyu Che.But strangely, Xuanyu Che said something rude and insulting to Sheng Weiqiao and her mother that day in public. However, until now, his parents still didn’t bring his son to the Sheng Family to offer a humble apology. Well, the reason actually
