Mr. Luo disagreed with this: "What's so strange about this? Even if we decide to blame all the regrets on Sheng Lansi now, the marriage agreement between the two families was not a secret. If it hadn't been for the Chang'an Rebellion, , my sister has not only passed the exam, she may even have children!"
"Before, when Sheng Weide was trapped in Chang'an and his life and death were uncertain, Sheng Lanci sent people to Jiangnan to ask the head of the family to dissolve the marriage to avoid delaying his sister. The head of the family said categorically that his sister would wait for Sheng Weide no matter what. As a result, this happened After a while, Sheng Weide came back well, but our family has changed its mind and wants to marry her sister to Feng Zhiyi... Although Feng Zhiyi and Sheng Weide are not related by blood, because of the eldest wife of the Sheng family, they can express each other. They call each other brother and cousin."
"Does it sound good if these things are spread out?"
"The Lord of Kangzhao County now has the title of County Lord, and he is still the Princess of the County. His future is uncertain and promising. How can he be involved in such a thing?"
Mrs. Zheng thought about it and said with relief, "I'm overthinking it."
So he stopped pursuing it, and instead discussed with Mr. Luo how to legitimately break up the engagement with the Sheng family.
At this time, Mrs. Ming was crying on Chengchuntai, asking Sheng Lanci to keep the engagement between Sheng Weide and Miss Luo no matter what, because Sheng Lanci insisted that this was a matter of the second wife, and Sheng Weide's biological father was here, so there was no uncle. Going beyond the idea of acting as an agent, Mrs. Ming ordered someone to call Sheng Lansi over again, forcing him to kneel in front of Sheng Lanci and begging Sheng Lanci to help make the decision.
In fact, Sheng Lansi was much more sober than Mrs. Ming on this matter. He just came over. After listening to the old lady explaining the situation, he said: "Don't you know who the eldest brother is, mother? If you can help me, no need." Let’s ask, when have you not helped? Now that the eldest brother has said that he can’t intervene in this matter, it obviously makes sense. There are so many girls in the world, and it’s not like De’er can’t marry anyone, so why bother? Do you want to keep an eye on the girls from the Luo family? It seems like many people in our family are rushing to beg them... "
Of course, he said this not because he knew the truth and was reasonable, nor because he really loved Sheng Lanci so much that he was willing to follow it blindly, but because he knew that Sheng Lanci had always cared about Sheng Weide, and on such an important matter as marriage, no matter how important it was, Maybe he stood by and watched.
Now that he has done this, he either has an ulterior motive and it is so serious that Sheng Lanci cannot intervene; or God knows how, he has offended this eldest brother and made him so angry that he turned on his nephew.
Although Lance Sheng was a bastard, he was not completely brainless. He knew that the reason why he was happy today was all because of his eldest brother. Even if they were separated in the past two years, as long as Sheng Lanci still recognized him as his younger brother, who wouldn't give him some respect
If he really broke up with this eldest brother, who in this county would still think highly of him
Anyway, Sheng Lansi doesn't have any feelings for Sheng Weide... To be precise, he has very ordinary feelings for all children. Most of his previous favors came from his biological mother. When someone is favored, the children are valued by the mother and are loved by the whole family. After that, the biological mother If it falls out of favor, the child will be rejected.
The same is true for the eldest son of the first wife, who is the most important in the eyes of ordinary people.
So unlike Mrs. Ming, Sheng Lansi didn't care at all whether Sheng Weide could marry the legitimate daughter of a prominent family and get into a powerful family... You may not be able to afford it. If the person is filial, that's fine. If the person bullies others and has a violent temper, even if he is a father-in-law, he will probably have a bad life in the future.
After all, not to mention that he has the support of his mother's family, he may not be able to do it if he has a seniority, just Old Mrs. Sheng, Mrs. Ming, and Mr. and Mrs. Sheng Lanci. As long as the girls from the Luo family don't do too much and are cunning. If you point the evildoer to complain first, you will most likely suspect that Lance Sheng is bad!
Therefore, whether it is for the purpose of "I must not let my son's future hinder me from continuing to take advantage of my elder brother" or the consideration of "having a daughter-in-law who is not as good as the Sheng family, she will be respectful and dare not meddle in my presence", Sheng Lance is very considerate of Sheng Lanci now, very sensible and well-behaved!
However, while he was talking eloquently, he forgot that his mother, Mrs. Ming, was right next to him.
Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Ming, who was ashen-faced, slapped her ears twice, making her dizzy!
The old lady gritted her teeth and looked at him: "You bastard!!! How dare you speak so loudly about your eldest son's marriage?! It seems that I have been too indulgent of you in the past two years! If you dare to go to those flowers and plants again in the future! Damn it, I have to break your legs!!!"
Sheng Lansi is not usually afraid of the old lady. After all, he has always been favored by the old lady Ming.
But it was the first time that he saw his mother being so angry with him. At this moment, he was stunned and was calmed down for a while.
"Lan Ci, look at him!" Mrs. Ming calmed down when she saw that her second son could not be counted on, and had to continue playing on her own, talking to Sheng Lanci with runny noses and tears, "In front of the two of us. Ah, he is trying so hard to trick De'er! Don't think that I don't know his thoughts. He just wants to get a girl from a small family for De'er. In this way, the daughter-in-law will not have enough confidence after entering the house, so she will be trembling with fear. Be careful, even if you feel that this father-in-law has insulted my Sheng family's family tradition, how can you dare to say anything? I'm afraid I don't even dare to persuade you with good words!"
"You say this, what hope does the second wife have for the future?!"
He also mentioned Sheng Weiyuan, "Weiyuan is young, so I am not cursing you for my mother, but at your age, there is not much hope of giving him a brother in the future. Shouldn't the children have to help each other?" If De'er is harmed by this evil, he will not be able to take care of his family's affairs, but how can he help Yuan'er? Wouldn't it be hard for Yuan'er to be alone by then? "
Sheng Lanci patiently felt a little annoyed when she heard this, so she sneered and said, "Mom, don't blame me for being so blunt: it's just that although I have two biological brothers, I have given him so much money over the years. How many times have you helped out? It’s the children who have always helped out their younger brothers, right?”
Mrs. Ming was dumbfounded by what she said and was speechless for a long time!
However, Sheng Lanci next to him reacted and knew that no matter what the reason was, Sheng Lanci had developed a real hatred for them at this moment, and he must not continue to add fuel to the fire!
While secretly tugging at the hem of her skirt, hinting her to calm down, he whispered: "Mom, the eldest brother is right! The child has caused enough trouble to the eldest brother and sister-in-law over the years. Although the third brother has not caused much trouble, The future of Che'er and Wu'er doesn't rest on the shoulders of the elder brother, sister-in-law and Qiao'er?"
"Now you are asking for this and that from your elder brother. What do you think you are treating your elder brother?"
"Besides, if De'er is capable, why should she rely on the Yue family?"
"If you don't have the ability, even if you rely on the Yue family to get ahead, will you still have to look at the Yue family's face in the future? Can you bear to do that?"
"Shut up!!!" However, Mrs. Ming was determined to get married to the Luo family and could not listen to such words. After hearing this, she stepped forward to give him a kick and said sternly, "You think the Luo family is as dissatisfied as you. Do you have brains?! Their girls are here to give birth to children for De'er! If they look down on De'er and treat De'er badly, what good will it do to their girls?!"
Sheng Lansi has always been used to being beaten by Mrs. Sheng. Although he was surprised by how hysterical Mrs. Ming was at the moment, such a little violence could not control him. After hearing this, he curled his lips and said: "They just need to ensure that they will be beaten for the rest of their lives." You can suppress De'er, but are you afraid that De'er would dare to treat their girls badly?! In fact, if you come from that kind of family, the girls are either pampered, or it's not easy to be virtuous, but De'er's stupid brain, It’s weird to have too much fun! Maybe my son will be raised by the Luo family by then. What’s the difference between asking De’er to marry into the Luo family? Our family doesn’t have food or water, so why should De’er be so aggrieved?”
Mrs. Ming was so angry that she was trembling with anger. She pointed at him and said nothing for a while. After a long while, she said word by word: "I won't talk to you about these nonsense! I only say: If this marriage If something goes wrong, I will die for you!!!"
In fact, this was not said to Sheng Lansi, but to Sheng Lanci next to him.
However, when Sheng Lanci heard this, she didn't even raise her eyelids. She just told the servant next to her: "Go and ask the old man to persuade the old lady."
Mrs. Ming was desperate when she heard this, because Mr. Sheng had always favored Sheng Lanci, not to mention that the old man himself had said that he would let the Yu family and the Feng family vent about this.
She originally said that she wanted to die, but it was just an angry word, and it was nothing more than a threat.
Now, on impulse, he actually slammed his head against a pillar not far away!
Although Sheng Lanci was standing a little far away at the moment, the steward next to her reacted quickly and rushed up to hug her in time. While pulling her, she shouted: "Old madam, calm down! Calm down! If you have anything to say, don't be polite. He said, if you do this, wouldn’t it be unfair to you masters?”
Mrs. Ming's attempt to die failed and she couldn't help but burst into tears: "I have said all my good words, what's the use? At this age, what else can I hope for except for a good life for my children and grandchildren? Now my grandchildren's marriages can't be saved." , what’s the point of my life?!”
However, Sheng Lanci just looked at her coldly, expressionless. Sheng Lansi was anxious, but it was not that he felt sorry for his mother, but kept urging her in a low voice: "Keep your voice down! Brother is still here... Brother I'm already unhappy, but you still say that, aren't you deliberately trying to make me and my third brother angry with my eldest brother? Aren't you just a prospective granddaughter-in-law? What are you so excited about? Her indefinite length doesn't look good at all? And you're not virtuous. A grandson, maybe the other grandsons will get lucky when they grow up, and be favored by some noble girl... Anyway, such a trivial matter has caused such a fuss, and when daddy comes later, he will talk about you. … Why are you doing this?”
Mrs. Ming was already heartbroken, but when she heard her son's words for fear of offending Sheng Lanci, her breath was stuck in her throat, and she fainted from anger without even humming!
At this time, everyone around was relieved and shouted confidently: "The old lady fainted, hurry up! Send her back to the Forbidden Snow Hall and ask the doctor!"
They were sent to the Forbidden Snow Hall, where Old Master Sheng was in charge, so there was no need for the people in Chengchuntai to think about how to end it.
