The reason why Sheng Weiqiao planned to pack up and go to find Sheng Suihe instead of Gongsun Su or Gongsun Yingdun was because she understood that the reason why Gongsun Yingjiang came to her was just to give Gongsun Yingdun a lighter punishment. The most important thing was It's about her and Sheng Suihe.
After all, on the entire Tortoiseshell Island, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Suihe are currently outsiders. Behind them is the Sheng family, one of the three most powerful families in Nanfeng County. Gongsun Su, the sea lord, cannot control it - the others are here It’s okay to suffer a loss and be frightened during this rebellion. Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Suihe were trapped in the valley for several days. How could Gongsun Su not explain this matter? !
Therefore, even if the Sea Lord wanted to take care of his own flesh and blood, he did not dare to let go of Gongsun Yingdun rashly without the approval of the two of them. He even insisted on demanding severe punishment - this attitude must be adopted by him, otherwise Sheng Lanci will be rejected in the future. I know, even if I don’t fall out with him directly, the friendship between the two parties that has been working together for many years will be broken!
If the Gongsun family had no intention of clearing their name and went ashore and had a falling out with the Sheng family, they could still find cooperation with the Feng family or the Xuan Yu family.
The problem is that they have already been working hard for two generations to correct their evil ways. In this case, they cannot afford to offend the Sheng family - not to mention Sheng Lanci's own methods and connections in Shilin, let's talk about the old man of the Sheng family. The old marquis of the Xu family is here. Ningwei Marquis Xu Zijing is afraid of the court's suspicion and dare not recruit a group of pirates. However, if his family friends suffer losses at the hands of pirates in the future, he will request the court to send a navy to suppress the bandits. But no problem.
Even if the sea is vast by then, I'm afraid there will be no place for the Gongsun family to stay.
After all, the great power of the Mu Dynasty has not yet been exhausted. The reason why bandits can still survive in today's world is that there is something wrong with the emperor who is currently reigning, which leads to the instability in the world. In this situation, as long as the emperor comes to his senses, or a new capable emperor comes to power, or even a powerful official who can overwhelm the overall situation and sweep the world, clearing the sea and Yanhe is just a matter of hands - otherwise Gongsun has been a bandit for four generations. He will not give up his unscrupulous life as a foreigner, and will try his best to find a way to land.
Today is not an era of chaos at all. Business without capital will have no bright future unless it is done in a small way.
At this moment, Sheng Wei Qiao Nian wanted to spare Gongsun Yingdun's life for Gongsun Yingjiang's sake, but she couldn't do it just by expressing her opinion. There was also Sheng Sleeping Crane, so both of them had to agree to forgive this nephew. Good knot.
Because although Sheng Shuihe came from Tortoiseshell Island, first of all, he was not related to the Gongsun family; secondly, although the Gongsun family had saved his life and raised him, he was not polite when using him. It's hard to say how much Suihe was sincerely grateful and resentful towards the Gongsun family. The most important thing was that Sheng Suihe was no longer the poor little boy living under the influence of Gongsun's family!
In fact, in a few years, Gongsun would have to beg him in turn!
As long as Gongsun Su, the sea lord, is not that stupid, he will naturally change his attitude towards Sheng Sleeping Crane now. Not only will he support and coax him immediately, he will at least be polite to avoid misunderstandings.
What's more, this group of people has been at sea for many years and has been collecting protection fees from Nanfeng County for more than ten years. The scale can be imagined!
For such a big matter as surrendering to the imperial court, even if the Gongsun family has been the master of the sea for generations, it is impossible to say that they only agree. It requires the approval of the majority of the people on the island.
Gongsun Yingdun was only Gongsun Su's biological son, not anyone else's biological son.
This guy is young and came to power purely by luck. His qualifications as Young Master are shallow and it can be said that he has no foundation.
Compared with Sheng Sleeping Crane, who is related to the future and life of the people on Hedao, and a young sea master with no prestige or achievements, it is anyone's guess who the people on the island will choose!
- Now Sheng Weiqiao has expressed on behalf of Sheng Suihe that he does not intend to argue with Gongsun Yingdun. I guess these people can't rest assured. Sheng Suihe has to come out and guarantee that he will not retaliate against them in the recruitment appointment because of this incident. .
"It's no wonder that Gongsun Yingdun didn't hesitate to contact his uncle's old troops to oppose this matter!" Sheng Weiqiao looked in the mirror and saw Lu Qi's dexterous technique and relaxed look on her bun, thinking back to the time in the valley After struggling for so long, I felt very upset, so I quickly thought of other things to divert my attention, thinking to myself, "This plan of the Gongsun family is tantamount to handing over their future and life to Sheng Suihe - even if they hold Sheng Suihe The fact that Sleeping Crane was actually born on Hawksbill Island serves as a handle for his control, but Sleeping Crane was not originally born and raised on Hawksbill Island, but accidentally ended up here."
"In this case, as long as he performs well enough after becoming an official and finds a backer or something, he can just say that Gongsun forced a good man to become a bandit. He was young and weak and could not resist, so he had an idea and pretended to be tamed. Even in the den of thieves, he still did not give in to the idea of goodness, and finally escaped with his own wit and was named on the gold list - Gongsun couldn't defeat him after all!"
"Actually, ever since Sheng Sleeping Crane entered the Sheng family, Gongsun has been unable to do anything to him."
"This man has now not only taken Xiao Sanyuan, he has even taken the role of Jie Yuan. It can be said that the future of the Gongsun family is in his mind: he will act according to the plan to recruit the Gongsun family. In the eyes of everyone, he is the benefactor of the Gongsun family. It is natural for Gongsun to automatically become his subordinate and work for him; if he breaks the agreement, regardless of whether Gongsun lives or lives, Gongsun has nothing to do; if he wants to eradicate Tortoiseshell Island to avoid future troubles forever, Gongsun will have nothing to do with him."
"As for Sheng Sleeping He, who lived on Tortoiseshell Island when he was a child, it was all thanks to the Gongsun family that he is what he is today. In the end, the entire Gongsun family had to live under him. As the Gongsun family's biological son, Gongsun Yingdun, who was also the young master of the sea the year before last, could not accept this. The change of subject and guest is also a reasonable thing."
However, I understand Gongsun Yingdun, and I understand Gongsun Yingdun, and I think of the scene where I spent the past two days with Sheng Suihe in the valley, and even slept together in the same bed - the point is that this person is probably not the biological brother I think, and most likely he is still with me. She has no bloodline - Sheng Weiqiao's face turned gloomy again, thinking that even if he interceded for that boy for Gongsun Yingjiang's sake, he would never let him go easy!
While thinking about it, Lu Qi had already arranged her Suiyun bun. According to her request, she only inserted a white jade inlaid tourmaline hairpin diagonally, a pair of gold folded silk lantern earrings, and narrow sleeves with lilac embroidery on a white background. She wears a cross-collared silk shirt, with a snow-colored middle coat exposed at the neck, and a blue woven gold-embroidered peacock skirt.
The skirt is covered with a layer of ultramarine painted lotus crepe, which slightly obscures the gorgeousness of the gold embroidered flowers, but there are little bits of gold woven luster flowing through the movements, and the nobility is hidden.
Sheng Weiqiao found this outfit very pleasing to the eye, clean and refreshing, and it did not remind her at all of the terrifying scene where she took a selfie in the mirror on the boat.
However, Lu Jin and Lu Qi couldn't stand it and tried to persuade her: "Even when the second wife passed away and the young lady wore mourning, she was never like this. Although I don't know what happened on the island, But since Lord Gongsun and his family are all in good health, it can be seen that it is not to the point where he needs to be annoyed. It’s too aggrieved for the young lady to dress like this!"
After a long time of persuasion, Sheng Weiqiao wore another pair of gold armbands and a peony necklace.
Lu Qi originally wanted to secretly insert a gold and jade pomegranate hairpin into her head, but she resolutely stopped her after discovering it in the mirror. After such an interruption, it was almost dark when she arrived at the place where Sheng Suihe lived.
The gatekeeper knew that Sheng Weiqiao's status was not ordinary either in front of Gongsun Su or in front of Sheng Suihe, so he did not dare to let her wait outside. He invited her inside to serve tea in the flower hall where guests were entertained, and then went to Sheng Suihe to report. .
While waiting for Sheng Sleeping Crane to come over, Sheng Weiqiao nervously turned the gold parrot and lychee tea bowl in his hand. He looked up and saw the gilt grass beast, pine deer and flower plate on the table, which contained pears, dates and other seasonal fruits, all of which had been washed. They were arranged neatly, and just looking at them made me appetizing. I couldn't help but take a pear and play with it in my hand.
Just as he got the pears, footsteps could be heard outside. Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly put the pears back and turned to look. Sure enough, not long after, Sheng Suihe's figure appeared in the door and stepped in with a smile.
He had obviously taken a bath and changed clothes. He was wearing an ultramarine-bottomed dark satin round-neck robe with a dark moire pattern, and a black base sash with a crane cloak with four seasons floral patterns. He also had a golden ink hair tied with a bit of post-bath moisture. The hairpin on the side of the cat's eyes, the sword-shaped eyebrows are high, the eyes are as bright as stars as they gaze, perhaps stimulated by the hot water, the slightly hooked thin lips are as bright as blood, making the skin whiter and more translucent.
"Good girl, we just came back today, why are we here to see my brother again?" After Sheng Suihe came in, he waved his hand to leave. When Sheng Weiqiao nodded, Lu Jin, who had come with her, also walked out.
Only the brother and sister were left. He picked up the pears that had just been touched by Sheng Weiqiao from the gilt grass beast, pine deer and flower tray, took the silver knife on the cabinet next to him to peel them, and said with a smile, "Are you worried that there will be more tonight?" There is a thunderstorm, do you think it is more peaceful to stay with my brother?"
Because he didn't know the truth about Gongsun Yingjiang's leak, Sheng Weiqiao had already suspected that the two of them were not related by blood. He thought that Sheng Weiqiao came here mostly to ask about what happened on the island in the past two days, so he felt no pressure and still Have the leisure to make fun of you.
He didn't mention it at first, but Sheng Weiqiao wanted to ask about his life experience later, regardless of whether he asked first or later.
But he mentioned it so calmly and with a bit of teasing, but Sheng Weiqiao, who had never really calmed down after hearing Gongsun Yingjiang's words, came back to his senses and was secretly shocked: "I am really confused! I just doubt his life experience. , how can I ask now? I just told Lu Jin and Lu Qi that the island is not peaceful and that I should go back early. Although my father has arranged a nursing home for me when I come out this time, what about all those people together? Can you defeat the people on this island?"
"Even if Sheng Sleeping Crane is opposed by Gongsun Yingdun, he is still from Hawksbill Island!"
"Now on someone else's territory, how can we be as unscrupulous in our words and deeds as at home?!"
"Especially when the nursing staff don't know that there is something wrong with Sheng Sleeping Crane's life experience, they still think that he is the eldest son of the Sheng Mansion!"
"Now I want to question him. If he is willing to deal with me, that's fine. If he doesn't want to, and simply deals with me, I won't be able to fight back at all!!!"
She was so frightened that she quickly pretended to focus on the golden parrot and lychee tea bowl in her hand. After calming down, she said calmly: "I am very tired today and have no time to argue with you - I just came to tell you something." What happened was that Ying Jiang wanted to intercede with Ying Dun."
Hearing this, Sheng Suihe smiled slightly and said, "Oh, so my dear girl already knows what happened on the island in the past two days?"
"I don't know everything. What Ying Jiang said is not detailed." During the two days in the valley, Sheng Weiqiao had been thinking about figuring out the whole story after leaving the valley, but now she was completely focused on Sheng Suihe. In terms of his life experience and his own safety, he really didn't bother to pay attention to the matter on Tortoiseshell Island. He only said, "I heard the meaning behind her words. It all depends on whether you and I are willing to be noble... I am willing to respond to Dun's fate. Forgive me, what do you think?"
"She really praises me so much, how can I compare with my good girl?" Sheng Suihe smiled perfectly, unable to tell his true thoughts. As he spoke, he peeled the pear and threw it upwards without even looking at it. He waved it, then turned his wrist to catch it, and saw a whole pear being held firmly, placed on the table, and pushed in front of Sheng Weiqiao.
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned for a moment, then she took the silver skewer he handed over and picked up a small piece to eat. The pear seemed to be whole now, but as soon as she took the skewer, she found that it had actually been cut into finger-sized pieces. She was I like to eat pears, but this pear is a bit unpalatable.
After all, with her current complicated feelings towards Sheng Suihe, it is hard not to think that Sheng Suihe Lu's move is a hidden threat.
At least, he has the ability to threaten himself.
This made Sheng Weiqiao wary but also very frustrated - he once again regretted that he was lazy when he was a child and refused to learn martial arts from Mrs. Sheng, leading him to the current situation where he was controlled by others everywhere he left home.
But wait... The year before last, this sleeping crane in the Sheng Mansion also kidnapped himself and took him to the cemetery to practice his courage, okay
Sheng Weiqiao secretly vomited blood: If this man is not his brother, what kind of motives does his biological father, who is twenty-four filial piety, have to regard him as his own son
Could it be that I have misunderstood all along
In fact, Sheng Lanci, his own father, didn't like him at all. The reason why he showed his love for him was just to hide from others. In fact, he actually hated himself very, very, very much, so he took Sheng Suihe back to torture himself. On the one hand, can you justifiably prevent yourself from inheriting the family property
But even if I am not the kind of gentle, filial, virtuous, and virtuous daughter who would make her father proud, she is not very rebellious or unfilial, right
Sheng Weiqiao suddenly felt a chill in his back: Could it be that... she is not Sheng Lanci's biological child
Otherwise, this father has a weak heir, and even if he is not proud of himself, he should not be so cruel to himself!
The problem is that her own mother, Feng Shi, doesn't look like a frivolous person - what's more, Sheng Lan is both talented and beautiful, filial to her father, rich in wealth, smart and capable, and is known to love her wife... She has been childless for many years since she got married, and her backyard has always been clean. Not to mention, Mrs. Feng has never been asked to keep an empty house for a long time in these years. No matter how you look at it, you are 800 meters away from those men who are also husbands. What reason does Mrs. Feng have to betray him
Furthermore, Sheng Lanci is not someone who doesn't fight back after suffering a loss. The Sheng family is no longer as powerful as the Feng family. If he knows that he has been cuckolded, he doesn't need to endure it at all, right
Sheng Weiqiao was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize it. In Sheng Suihe's view, she misunderstood that she was unwilling to let go of Gongsun Yingdun, so she was in a dilemma and didn't know how to convince him.
Smiling secretly, Sheng Suihe half-tested and half-handed her the ladder and said, "Speaking of which, my good girl's trip to the valley was all thanks to Ying Dun - I didn't expect that as soon as Ying Jiang asked for mercy, my good girl immediately agreed to help. Come on! Think about the torture I suffered when I offended you in my early years, dear girl, you really favor girls over boys!"
According to his opinion, when Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he would probably say that Gongsun Yingdun was young and ignorant, or that Gongsun Yingjiang had been with her in the Sheng family for two years and could not bear to disappoint his niece.
This would save Sheng Weiqiao from the embarrassment of not knowing what to do anymore.
"I just thought, Ying Jiang keeps saying that Gongsun Hai wants to kill Ying Dun, but if Gongsun Hai really wants to kill him, can he wait until we come out of the valley?" But Sheng Weiqiao said coldly, "100% Gongsun Hai. The Lord himself felt sorry for his son and was reluctant to leave him. However, after all, Ying Dun did such a thing. As his biological father, Lord Gongsun Hai could forgive him, but he had to give an explanation to other people on the island, especially us - at this time, we are the only ones taking the lead. He said he doesn't care, only by exposing the matter and giving an explanation to both parties can we spare his life! Besides, if dad knows about this matter, he will definitely pursue it! At that time, we will naturally have to come forward to intercede in order to calm dad down!"
Sheng Suihe touched his chin and said with a smile: "Is this what Ying Jiang told you? She underestimates the relationship between me and eldest brother. If eldest brother has this plan, why doesn't he come and tell me directly? And let him Ying Jiang asked you to make such a circle again, you are so unreasonable! My dear girl, I guess you have been deceived by her again! You silly girl, I think you have become smarter in the past two years, why did you fall in love with someone else again as soon as you turned around? Are you convinced? I can’t help but praise you!”
Sheng Weiqiao was trying to talk to him with all her heart, but after talking for such a long time, Sheng Suihe still refused to give a clear answer and did not say anything. His words seemed to be full of teasing, and he did not want to talk to her seriously at all. The way things are.
She was angry, resentful, and a little inexplicably aggrieved. Tears suddenly fell from her eyes. She stood up and slapped the table, knocking half of the sliced pear meat off the table. She said angrily: "Gongsun Yingdun and I didn't meet each other anyway." After two times, you are the one who watched him grow up and you don’t feel sorry for him, so why should I worry so much!?”
After saying this with a tearful voice, she turned around and left!
This turn of events was beyond Sheng Suihe's expectation. He subconsciously got up and blocked Sheng Weiqiao's path!
