When Mrs. Zhan heard what had happened, Sheng Weiqiao happened to be away. It was her eldest son Feng Ye who came to report alone. She sneered when she heard this: "Sheng Shixiong hasn't come back yet, but the two step-brothers started to make trouble! It's obvious to God that I also know that he did evil things and deserves this kind of retribution!"
After thinking for a while, he said, "In that case, we should work harder... Can you do it?"
Feng Ye was well prepared and quickly contacted Mr. Luo and Mrs. Zheng... Originally, according to Sheng Lanci's "suggestion", Mr. Luo and Mrs. Zheng were asked to go to Sheng Lansi's house immediately after they moved out of the Sheng family's ancestral home. living.
But when Mr. Luo and Mrs. Zheng were packing their things, they sent someone to Shenglansi's house to post a message, but the Shenglansi people were not there at all. The aunts did not dare to make the decision on such a big matter, so they could only reply truthfully and clean the guest room.
Mrs. Zheng said to Mr. Luo: "I think this matter is very strange. Even if the messages sent by these two aunts are quite polite, since it is not the most legitimate owner of the second house who speaks, we'd better not go over there yet! And! Not to mention that we don’t have a few bucks to stay in the inn, but if this time passes, since the eldest son of the Sheng family over there has personally issued an eviction order, who knows if we will be willing to go? Then we will come Auntie's words don't count. He doesn't want to entertain us at all. He wants us to go out again. We are embarrassed. Where do you think the Jiangnan Luo family's face is? Where is the face of my sister? What will happen to my sister in the future? Be a human being?”
So the two of them moved directly to the inn, just in time to tell the public that they had no intention of disturbing the Sheng family. They were just newcomers and went to the Sheng Mansion to pay a visit. As for not making an appointment with the inn in advance, of course the people below were careless and forgot about it.
He only sent a letter to Lance Sheng in private, saying that he was waiting for a reply from Lance Sheng.
At this time, Sheng Lansi was being dragged into the restaurant by Sheng Lanzi and his wife for questioning. After that, the two brothers started fighting, and even his sister-in-law, Xiao, got involved. , because he was in a bad mood, he was too lazy to go back home, so he went to find a sweetheart to relieve his boredom... He didn't know anything about the Luo family's affairs!
Mr. Luo and Mrs. Zheng waited in the inn for half a day, thinking that even if Sheng Lansi was not in the house for a while, he would always go back in the evening and come to invite him in person. Who knew that it was already dark and he was nowhere to be seen!
Now both of them looked gloomy!
"It is said that this person has always been a wild and gay man. Could he be drinking wine and staying up all night? Don't you know about this?" Mr. Luo broke off the engagement because the Luo family had already sent someone to discuss the situation in Sheng Lanci. At that time, he had vowed that his daughter would never marry again. At this moment, he was feeling heavy and still holding on to the hope of success, muttering to himself, "Otherwise, why would you be so rude?"
But Mrs. Zheng said: "Even if he is enjoying himself playing outside and doesn't know what happened to us. But since my aunt at home knows about it, why won't she send someone to look for it?"
Mr. Luo was upset and said: "Didn't you say before that those two aunts were probably not good people, so maybe you didn't send people to look for them? Or maybe you didn't find them?"
Mrs. Zheng shook her head and said: "Even if those two aunts deliberately interfered with this marriage, they were at most doing tricks behind the scenes, such as swaying Sheng Lansi to make trouble himself. How dare they act recklessly given the responsibilities that have fallen on them? Don’t forget that the reason why we came to Nanfeng County now is because the old man of the Sheng family and Sheng Weide are coming back soon! We have also heard about the temper of the old man, and he is not easy to get along with or easy to fool! "
"Sheng Weide is the eldest grandson of this generation of the Sheng family. He is also the grandson that the old man has personally watched and valued most!"
"This marriage between him and our sister was facilitated by the old man!"
"If I knew that this mere concubine dared to use such methods to murder my legitimate son, it would be weird if I didn't kill those two aunts on the spot!"
"Unless those two aunts are stupid and crazy, how dare they do such a thing?"
"As for not finding Sheng Lance, it's impossible. Sheng Lance didn't just become bad. He seems to have been restless since he was a boy. He has been messing around with women all day long!"
"So after all these years at home, haven't you figured out where he will be?"
"In peacetime, it's possible that he got tired of playing in the county and ran away to a distant place."
"But now that Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Ming are about to return, even if the people in his room have been separated from the ancestral home, they are the direct blood of the old man and the old lady. When his parents return from a long way, how can a son not be prepared to welcome them? Please say hello?!"
"How dare you go far now?"
"So we have been waiting in the inn for most of the day, but there is no sign of Sheng Lansi. It is almost likely that he did it on purpose!"
In fact, Mrs. Zheng didn't know that the two aunts Ruoliu and Fuyan who were currently in charge of the backyard in Shenglansi Mansion did not dare to neglect. After receiving the news, they quickly sent people everywhere to search for Shenglansi.
They also knew everything about Sheng Lansi's old sweethearts.
The problem is, under the deliberate obstruction of the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family, how can the people under Sheng Lansi deal with it? The servants didn't even notice anyone was disturbing them. They ran around the city for most of the day, until the curfew, but they couldn't find Sheng Lansi, so they could only go back to follow the two of them.
Ruoliu and Fuyan sighed, and called Sheng Weixing, the step-brother's direct descendant, to be a witness, and said a few words: "Did Master just run away and take it away? Why can't he find it? The Luo family is the eldest son-in-law's family. Ah! It’s the eldest son’s future brother-in-law and sister-in-law who are here. They are at the inn right now and they won’t come over without the master’s invitation! If you don’t invite them today, wouldn’t it be a sign of neglect tomorrow?”
In fact, the two of them did not want Sheng Weide to marry a daughter of a high family and come to compete with them for power, as Mrs. Zheng thought.
Because he was the one who followed Sheng Lansi before the second wife was separated from the Sheng family's ancestral home, so she has long been accustomed to the beautiful life of hugging each other.
The two aunts did not have much objection to Sheng Weide's marriage. Although they were a little worried that Miss Luo's spoiled and overbearing personality would not give them a good life after entering the house, they were more looking forward to the mediocre Sheng Weide's ability to have a happy life after marrying this wife. A good future, and then support some of their biological flesh and blood... After all, they are separated from the ancestral home, and it is hard to say whether they will get too much glory from the big house in the future.
I still hope that Sheng Weide in the same room will be more reliable.
However, she is not Sheng Weide's biological mother after all. Although she doesn't want to trick Sheng Weide, she doesn't care how much she cares about her eldest son.
At this moment, the words of the two aunts were not so much that they were anxious, but rather that they were afraid of taking responsibility.
Sheng Weixing, on the other hand, had never been on good terms with Sheng Weide under the influence of Bai. Since Bai's death, under the guidance of his sister Sheng Weirao, he has become more cautious in his words and deeds, and has the due respect for his eldest brother. .
Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask: "When did this all happen? Since dad is not at home, and the eldest brother and sister have not come back, why didn't you tell me earlier and let me greet the Luo family on dad's behalf?!"
Ruoliu: “…”
Fuyan: “…”
Oops, why did you forget it
They have really forgotten that the main thing is that Sheng Weixing has been studying very hard in the past two years, almost day and night. He even took the initiative to move to the most remote courtyard in the house so that he could concentrate on his work without being disturbed.
Ruoliu and Fuyan were not his biological mothers. They usually took care of the mansion and delivered things on time, so they thought they had fulfilled their responsibilities.
In order to study hard, this fifth son almost did not participate in any family activities except ancestor worship, let alone play with his brothers... If his sister Sheng Weirao was here, she would still miss him. In the past two years, Sheng Weirao has been in Chang'an, and there is no such thing. With her reminder, everyone usually forgets Sheng Weixing.
If it hadn't been for the fact that they couldn't find Sheng Lance just now and couldn't continue looking, they wouldn't have even thought of calling Sheng Weixing over.
Now being questioned by Sheng Weixing, he was at a loss for words. After a while, Ruoliu said back: "Fifth Young Master! You are the step-brother's legitimate son. How dare you instruct the slaves and maids who are just concubines? The Luo family came over earlier and said that they planned to pay a visit. It's so big The mansion is in chaos because of this, and the slaves are thinking that even if the Fifth Young Master lives in a remote place, why should they know about it?"
"Since you didn't show up, it can't be that you are studying at a critical juncture. How can you dare to interrupt? After all, everyone here knows that you are rushing to be named on the gold list!"
"If it succeeds, our second wife will be honored!"
"If it weren't for the fact that we had no choice just now, we wouldn't have dared to invite you over!"
Sheng Weixing frowned when he heard these words and blamed himself for pretending to be confused just now. Now he wants to be a good person!
If it were in the past, he would definitely not let his two concubines slander him like this, but after all, he had read a lot in the past two years, especially after Sheng Weirao went to Chang'an, he wrote many informed letters to encourage him to do whatever he could in the future. Go out for a walk and see the outside world, instead of staying stuck in Nanfeng County and limiting your horizons to such a small place.
Therefore, although he has not achieved any academic fame, he already has the demeanor of a scholar. He consciously argued with these two concubines, which was really beneath his status. After frowning, he didn't bother to say more, and just said: "That's it." , I will go to my father's study to see if there is any name card left by my uncle. I will take one and go to the inn to visit the Luo family and explain the reason. Even if they think it is too late to come over now, it is our family's attitude after all. .”
Ruoliu and Fuyan had no intention of hindering Sheng Weide's marriage anyway. Hearing this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fifth Young Master, just do what you want! The servants can't handle such a big matter. If you are willing to take the responsibility, that is of course the best." ! I believe that the old man and the eldest son will also praise and thank you after they come back!"
Although Sheng Weixing acted quickly, he didn't know that Feng Ye had sent someone to visit the Luo couple at the inn as early as when he was holding the lamp, and said, "When you two arrived, Sheng Xinzhang personally sent his confidants to the dock to greet you. After talking to the back of the house, the Princess of Mi Zhen County even returned from Feng Mansion to entertain her, and now she was invited out of the Sheng family's ancestral residence in just a short while... Do you know why?"
Although Mrs. Zheng had earlier tricked the "truth" from Mr. Xiao, her heart skipped a beat when she saw the unpredictable expression on this uninvited guest's face, and she subconsciously asked: "Why do you say this so respectfully... Does it sound like you know some inside story?"
The man smiled and said with emotion: "If that weren't the case, why would you bother the virtuous couple so late?"
