"The four of you, first surrender to Aunt Jiaoyu, and then Madam!" Sheng Suihe said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Those who repeat themselves will not end well, especially Madam Xiang who is far from being called a wise master... But the good thing is that the reason why you want to take refuge with Mrs. Xiang is not for Mrs. Xiang herself, but for her biological daughter, Miss Meng Shishi. In that case, haven't you ever thought about replacing Mrs. Xiang?"
He said these words casually, even in a somewhat indifferent tone, but when they fell in Meng Guiyu's ears, they were like rolling thunder!
"..." Meng Guiyu could no longer maintain his calm demeanor in the face of danger. His expression changed drastically for a moment, and his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, but his eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked at Sheng for an instant. Sleeping Crane asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the replacement method?!"
"Why talk secretly in front of people? Shouldn't you know more about the Meng family's affairs than me, an outsider who only guesses based on a few words?" However, Sheng Suihe just stood up, patted his shoulder, and said gently He said, "Uncle Chongxin, you started at a young age. Although you relied on Aunt Jiaoyu's introduction, you showed your face in front of the Queen Mother, and got the title of earl and your current status."
"But not to mention that the Queen Mother is old and cannot protect your house for a long time."
"Even if the Queen Mother lives to be a hundred years old, the younger generation she values most cannot be you. After all, your father is still a commoner until now and has not been granted a posthumous title! It can be seen that even if the Queen Mother is informed by your uncle, , I take care of the four houses, but I still feel resentful towards your father!"
"Unless you are satisfied with your current situation and are not worried about becoming the abandoned son of Dafang or the Meng family one day... Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Brother Xian has said this, if I still don't agree, where will the future come from?" Meng Guiyu concentrated for a moment, showed a decisive look, and looked at him deeply, "Tonight, you and I have never I’ve seen it before, tonight, you and I don’t know anything!”
Sheng Suihe smiled: "Uncle Robert!"
... A long time later, outside the corner door of Zheng Guoguo's mansion, in the carriage in the shadow, Meng Yan watched from the gap in the curtain that the disguised Sheng Sleeping Crane was ushered in by Meng Guiyu's familiar door. Unable to hide his worry, he whispered : "Uncle, what will he do?"
"I don't know either." Meng Guiyu was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "But if he gives me those two banknotes, there is no way I can refuse him tonight! Especially if he gives me those two banknotes." It’s a great step up for me.”
Meng Guiyu gave the two banknotes to Meng Yan to put away. Meng Yan naturally knew the denominations and couldn't help but curl his lips: "I arranged for him to enter Zheng Guogong's mansion in the middle of the night, and I had to clean up the mess for him... Such a big thing was just given to Uncle I only have ten thousand taels of silver! This amount is too small! I’m afraid we may not be able to deal with the aftermath if we cause trouble later!"
"You only saw the two banknotes he took out, but you didn't notice that he first took a stack of banknotes and randomly picked two out of them and gave them to me." However, Meng Guiyu said coldly, "This shows that What? It means that his stack of banknotes, even if not each one is in denomination of 5,000 taels, is worth a lot of money when added up! But he only gave me two... He was warning me, or I would accept Put down these ten thousand taels of silver to satisfy his request!"
"Either way, the pile of banknotes left in his hand could be the life money of my uncle Chongxin and his family!"
"This move may not have any effect on the first, second, and third bedrooms of the Meng family, but our fourth bedroom... Although our fourth bedroom is now considered a nursing home with servants, maids, and nursing homes, but carefully considering the elite level of these people, it is different from other There is no comparison with a three-bedroom apartment!”
"Otherwise, why did Sheng Suihe sneak into my study with ease tonight, but he needed my help to enter the back house of Zheng Guogong's mansion?!"
"Since the guards of our uncle's house are so weak, if he wants to be tough, just throw a few banknotes out and he will be able to recruit enough desperadoes to bloodbath our house!"
"Even if it's a soft move, this money will be used to manage the court, especially to find a way to send it to the palace to persuade Er Shu to remonstrate... Do you think our uncle's house can resist it?!"
Meng Guiyu's face was as dark as water, and he sighed deeply, "You must know that my aunt originally made me an earl, but as Sheng Suihe said just now, my aunt has not agreed to grant the title to my parents until now... It can be seen that my aunt I still have a grudge against my father for speaking out when he was young and ignorant!"
"In this case, even if I have been trying my best to please her in recent years, once the emperor opens his mouth, how likely is it for my aunt to protect us despite the emperor's displeasure?"
"Especially when the emperor dotes on the Shu sisters, he is very opposed to establishing the fourteenth sister as his successor."
"Although my aunt tried her best to get the emperor to nod reluctantly, but this is a serious matter, my aunt will never disobey the emperor's wishes in other matters in order to avoid causing complications!"
There was bitterness in his eyes, "The situation is stronger than the person. Our house will definitely not be able to avoid the muddy water tonight from the moment Sheng Suihe comes to the door! Now I only hope that Sheng Suihe will not suffer because of Miss Sheng San." So aggrieved, you are willing to give up a good future and become a desperado... Even if you have to vent your anger on Miss Sheng San, you should control it at least and leave some room for me to deal with the aftermath!"
When Meng Guiyu said this, he suddenly became curious about Sheng Weiqiao: Even though Sheng Weiqiao, the third lady of the Sheng family, and Sheng Suihe were half-brothers and sisters, they didn't grow up together!
Calculating carefully, the brother and sister have been dissatisfied for three years from the first time they met until now!
In such a short period of time, there is a natural gap and wariness between the direct descendants and the concubines. Sheng Shuihe has been living in a foreign country since he was a child. He did not get the opportunity to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan until he was seventeen years old. It is said that Feng, the mother-in-law of the Sheng family, Sheng Weiqiao's biological mother, fell asleep after her wedding last year. He Kankan got better and then turned into an embarrassing situation... It is said that Sheng Suihe is a true gentleman who has resigned himself to the light, wind and moon. After such ups and downs, facing Sheng Weiqiao, the daughter who has been held in the palm of the Sheng family since she was a child, how much... It’s time for some emotion and self-harm, right
What's more, judging from Meng Guiyu's observation of Sheng Sleeping Crane, how could this man be a gentleman
He is simply a man who will retaliate and is ruthless and lawless... If this person hadn't had the title of Jieyuan of Nanfeng County, and his name was successfully registered, and he had the endorsement of the Ministry of Rites, Meng Guiyu would have doubted his identity, and he was actually a fugitive giant bandit. He was so daring that he pretended to be a member of a powerful family and came to Chang'an!
How could such a person treat his half-sister like a treasure in less than three years, and love her so much that Sheng Weiqiao was so frightened that he wanted to avenge her all night long, or avenge her with his own hands
Even if it was to give an explanation to his biological father and legitimate mother, Meng Guiyu felt that it was unlikely!
Because what Sheng Suihe did tonight, if even a little bit is leaked, the entire Sheng family will be destroyed!
In this way, even if Sheng Lanci and his wife were in Chang'an and no matter how much they loved their daughter, they would definitely not approve of this method of revenge.
Besides, Sheng Suihe didn't really look like he was obeying his parents. Who kind of obedient and filial son would be like him, not taking his own life and future seriously, and not even considering the future of his family? !
"So, 80% of the reason why Sheng Suihe loves Miss Sheng San so much is because of Miss Sheng San herself?" Meng Guiyu's curiosity continued to rise, "What kind of person is that Miss Sheng San... How could such a person, in just three years, allow such a brother to treat her as seriously as a compatriot who has been dependent on her since childhood?"
Although he had met Sheng Weiqiao twice, it was only a quick meeting and no in-depth conversation at all.
And Sheng Weiqiao's behavior was no different from that of an ordinary lady.
Because Meng Guiyu did not want to offend Mrs. Xiang for his marriage, although he promised to try to pursue Sheng Weiqiao under the threats of Meng Guihan and Meng Guihuan, he actually had no intention of taking this matter seriously.
Firstly, even though Sheng Weiqiao gave him a good impression, it was not so good that he would fall in love with her at first sight and marry her. Secondly, he kept in mind the responsibility of taking good care of his younger brothers and sisters, and secretly kept thinking about how to marry her. Meng Guihan and Meng Guihuan's marriage has been arranged. After watching them all get married and start a business, they will consider their own marriage.
And Sheng Weiqiao is already sixteen years old this year, which is the age when she needs to get engaged even if she doesn't get married.
Meng Guiyu felt that he was not qualified to let this girl wait for him, so why should he live up to her youth
So I only plan to look for opportunities to show off twice so that I can deal with Meng Guihan and Meng Guihuan, and I don't plan to really put in effort to win Sheng Weiqiao's favor... He has a lot of things to be busy with now!
But tonight Sheng Suihe's unusual behavior made Meng Guiyu unprepared for his true face, and he became very interested in Sheng Weiqiao, who was highly valued by him: "After all, this Miss Sheng San is extremely kind and lovely, so... As for people like Sheng Sleeping Crane, who can be called a born murderer, they are all influenced by him, and his fingers are made of steel that has been refined over a hundred times. There is no one who can match him because he is so scheming, and he is willing to play with Sheng Sleeping Crane even above the applause; or he is unruly and domineering. She is so rare and hard to find that even the fierceness of Sheng Sleeping Crane cannot be suppressed, so she has to regard her happiness, anger, sorrow and joy as the most important thing, and put herself in danger to calm her anger today?!"
No matter what the situation is, it proves that Sheng Weiqiao, who seems to be just an ordinary lady, with extra delicate eyebrows at most and who is particularly favored at home, is by no means simple!
"Anyway, after tonight's incident, the alliance between Sheng Suihe and I will not be terminated in a short time." At this moment, Meng Guiyu was thinking, "It just so happens that my aunt, seventh brother, and eleventh sister are all You agree with me getting close to Miss Sheng San... Well, I will ask Sister Eleven later what hobbies Miss Sheng San has. If I am good at it, that would be the best! If I don't know anything about it, I have to find an opportunity to understand it. Otherwise, when we meet each other in the future, we won’t be able to find a way to suit him... "
Originally, when he thought about Sheng Weiqiao these days, the thoughts that came to his mind were nothing more than perfunctory and prevaricating. He even felt vaguely that it was a bit troublesome because it distracted him from his already tense time.
But at this moment, out of curiosity and various unconfirmed speculations, Meng Guiyu thought of Sheng Weiqiao again, and all the prevarications in his heart were wiped away. He vaguely felt that dealing with this girl was a troublesome idea, and he also disappeared. fly!
But full of expectations and eagerness to try.
Just as he was thinking about how to get Sheng Weiqiao's attention next and thus see through the girl's true face beneath her ordinary ladylike appearance, the corner door not far away creaked open and a figure floated out.
Before the man even approached the carriage, Meng Guiyu, who heard the movement and raised the curtain to look out, could already smell a strong smell of blood!
His heart sank. When Sheng Suihe arrived in front of him, he couldn't help but asked in a deep voice: "You... what did you do in there?!"
... If he hadn't known that it was impossible, Meng Guiyu would have doubted whether he had slaughtered the entire Duke Zheng's palace
Moreover, are all the guards in the Duke's Mansion dead? !
With such an obvious smell of blood, how did he come out as if nothing had happened? !
