Not to mention Xu Baomo's grief and indignation, but also in the back room, Sheng Weiqiao noticed that Nan had been away for too long, and worried that she was going to deal with Xu Baomo, so she made some insinuations, hoping to go over to intercede with Xu Baomo.
However, Xu Caikui looked around and talked for a while. Sheng Weiqiao was feeling uneasy. The Nan family, who had changed her clothes and felt refreshed, came back. When she entered the door, she said apologetically: "Something happened in the house just now. The maid went directly to the back." I went there, so I came here after dealing with it."
After explaining the reason why it took so long to change clothes, he smiled and nodded at Sheng Suihe, "Have you packed up He'er? You seem to be more energetic now, but if you feel tired, don't force it. You're holding up well! Anyway, everyone is back, so we can tell you what happened tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
Then, without waiting for anyone to answer, he looked around and said in surprise, "Hey, He'er is already here, why hasn't Bao Mo come yet? Did he go back to Yinglu Pavilion to rest? Then why didn't anyone come? Report?"
Chensha, who came in and out with her and held the door for her outside the bathroom just now, made a very serious guess: "Is it possible that the prince was too tired and fell asleep in the bathtub?"
"This child!" Nan frowned, like a mother who truly loves her son. She looked annoyed but actually said worriedly, "You can't sleep in the pool if you want to! How dangerous is that? It's not comfortable either! It’s wise to go back to your room and settle down properly... Go and see for yourself, what’s going on?”
This performance was very successful and greatly dispelled Sheng Weiqiao's original doubts.
... We really can't blame Sheng Weiqiao for being easy to deceive. The main reason is that she has a biological mother like Feng. The biological mothers she has seen before are all similar to Feng, and they all dote on their biological children. She really couldn't believe that Nan could act so lifelike now if he had just whipped his son.
After all, in her perception, this kind of behavior has always been a stepmother's skill...
However, Sheng Weiqiao was dealt with perfunctorily, and Sheng Suihe was not so easy to dismiss. When the manager asked them to bathe separately, not only Xu Baomo felt weird, but Sheng Suihe also felt that there was something deceitful inside.
It's just that he was a guest in the Hou Mansion, and guests do as the host does, so he remained silent and let the master, Xu Baomo, speak to the manager.
Furthermore, this design was directed at Xu Baomo and had nothing to do with him. He was too lazy to take care of the housework of the Hou Mansion... At this moment, he was thinking in his mind: "Good girl probably doesn't have any feelings for Xu Baomo." Now, I’m worried about him right now. It’s probably because he got beaten this time, which was caused by Guainannan accidentally telling me about Ao Luanjing, so Guainannan feels guilty.”
The more guilty Sheng Weiqiao feels, the more he has to care and protect Xu Baomo... This is definitely not what he wants to see!
So Sheng Suihe stood up with a smile and said, "Aunt, let me go and have a look! If Brother Shi really falls asleep in the pool, I'm afraid one or two people won't be able to help him."
"How can you worry?" Nan said hurriedly after hearing this, "Just call the two guards. You have just come back. Sit down and rest quickly. Don't get too tired!"
Sheng Suihe persisted meaningfully. Seeing Nan's resolute attitude, he sat back and said with a smile: "If Brother Shi fell asleep, I'm afraid he was tired in the examination room. According to Brother Shi's talent and learning, he must have For those who are participating in the palace examination, my aunt will have to take good care of my brother’s health these two days!”
Nan narrowed his eyes, hearing the meaning of his words, and said with a smile: "That unlucky boy, his grandfather spent all the painstaking efforts on him, is so weak... Let's not mention it! Let's talk about you. What happened after the scene? Qiaoer has been thinking about you very much these past few days!"
They said they wanted Sheng Suihe to tell what happened, but in fact, Nan sent them all away not long after.
This is because after all, Sheng Suihe took the exam for nine consecutive days and was afraid that he would hurt his nerves by talking too much, so after asking a few questions, Nan asked Sheng Suihe to go back to Ying Qingting to rest: "The place has always been The people who clean it, the bedding and the like are freshly smoked, and the things are prepared as they were when you lived there before. Just go and have a look, and if there is anything you don’t like or lack, just tell the people there!”
Sheng Suihe didn't want to stay here any longer. After hearing this, he thanked Nan for a few words and left.
After he left, Sheng Weiqiao and others had nothing to say to Nan, and they knew that Nan had to deal with family affairs, so except for Xu Caikui, who was being taught by Nan recently because he was about to leave the cabinet, everyone else also left.
"Third sister, how about we go fishing?" After leaving the back hall, Sheng Weiwu pulled Sheng Weiqiao's skirt and asked, "Just now, sister Caifu told me that there are many fish in the lake next to Jihong Pavilion. They’re all very fat!”
"There should be koi carps there, for looking at, but not for eating!" Sheng Weiqiao said with a smile, "otherwise, wouldn't it be boring if the blue water on the lake is all blue, but there are no koi carps to decorate it?"
In fact, she didn't object to fishing entirely because she disapproved of eating koi. The main reason was that she didn't want the two little girls to go to the lake.
Even if they go fishing, there will definitely be a group of people watching and they will not let them fall into the water easily. Even after falling into the water, someone must have rushed to save the person, but considering that the climate in Chang'an has not completely warmed up this season, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but worry that if something really went wrong, even if he didn't suffer any serious illness, he would end up freezing. , it would be safer to stay away from the lake.
So before Sheng Weiwu could object, she said, "I haven't played shuttlecock with you for a while, and I miss it a little. How about you go to commemorate the Red Pavilion together later, and how about we play shuttlecock together?"
Sheng Weiqiao looked disappointed, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Third sister likes it, then let's play shuttlecock!"
Then he turned to Gongsun Yingjiang and asked, "Yingjiang, are you going? You are so good at kicking the shuttlecock!"
"I won't go!" Gongsun Yingjiang waved his hands with a smile, "I'm a little tired and want to go back to Qie Zixuan to sleep for a while... Let's see you tonight!"
In this way, Gongsun Yingjiang returned to Qie Zixuan, and Sheng Weiqiao took the two little girls into the Jihong Pavilion where he lived.
After entering the red pavilion, Sheng Weiqiao asked someone to take the shuttlecock out and play with them.
After all, Sheng Weiwu and Xu Caifu were both young and had limited physical strength. The three of them were all good at kicking the shuttlecock, and they basically wouldn't stop playing until their physical strength was exhausted. Therefore, they didn't play for long before the two little girls asked rest.
During the break, they found it boring to sit around and decided to play with cattails. Sheng Weiqiao sent Juli and Jinli to play with them, while she went into the inner room to tidy up. When she was kicking the shuttlecock, she felt that her bun was a little loose. The skirt is also a little crooked.
At this moment, she brought Lu Qi into the inner room, sat down in front of the dressing table, and said: "Take off these two dotted emerald fish bats, gilt and precious stones, and give me a double-snail bun, and don't use those hairpins." Once the ring is ringed, bring two silk flowers, so as not to keep playing with the two little ancestors later and make them jump about and fall off."
Lu Qi responded and quickly finished it for her. Sheng Weiqiao looked left and right in the mirror for a while. Seeing that there was no problem, she got up and walked out.
When I went outside, I saw that Li Di and Jin Li were already halfway through playing with the two girls. Seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao didn't participate and just watched from the side.
It's just that the pudding always took a long time, and she found it boring after watching it for a while. Seeing that Sheng Weiwu and Xu Caifu were focusing on the pudding and no longer paying attention to themselves, she simply got lazy, walked to the side and told Lu Qi: "You Keep an eye on them, don't let them run away, let alone let them get close to the lake... I will go to the inner room to read the conversation book."
Without thinking, she finished explaining to Lu Qi, then entered the inner room and closed the door behind her back. However, she heard a chuckle from the tent, and Sheng Suihe's low voice came: "Good girl, I haven't seen you for nine days and nine nights... did you miss me?"
"Of course I have!" Sheng Weiqiao's face darkened when he heard this. He stood by the door for a while and then said with a sneer, "In just nine days, it was Princess Qingfang and Princess Huihe. I met them twice! Both times I felt frightened when I saw them, thinking that if it weren’t for you, I would live a good life, why would I have anything to do with them, and act like thieves! So much so that in order to give my aunt And Sister Caikui and the others confessed that they had to fabricate reasons to indirectly trick Xu Baomo?!"
"..." She mentioned Princess Qingfang and Princess Huihe, and Sheng Suihe was a little embarrassed. Although he said he had no feelings for these two people, they were his blood sisters after all. What these two people did, Sheng Weiqiao He couldn't shirk his anger, so he hesitated for a while before saying, "Those two idiots have wronged you! Don't worry, my dear, I will definitely avenge you!"
Sheng Weiqiao sneered and said, "Avenge me? I think it's for yourself, right?"
She walked into the tent and looked at Sheng Sleeping Crane, who was sitting on his bed with his robe lifted up, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you really think I'm stupid? Since you are the third son of King Gaomi, you have been living in the tortoise shell since you were a child. Island, the palace also said that you died a long time ago... Although you haven't told me the reason until now, it's probably because you were an abandoned child, right?"
"In this case, will it go smoothly for you to recognize your ancestor and return to the clan this time?!"
"Under such circumstances, you still want to marry me. Are you interested in me, or the Sheng family's property, and the friendship and world friendship that my grandfather had as an old corps of General Zhou?!"
The girl's eyes were sharp, and she ignored Sheng Suihe's gradually frowning, and said coldly, "Furthermore, even if you recognize your ancestor and return to the clan smoothly, now the King of Gaomi is fighting to the death with the Meng family. Now that you have regained your identity, The Sheng family will be dragged into the water at any time! If your father, Prince Gaomi, wins, the Sheng family will be worry-free... This is not necessarily the case!"
"After all, if King Gaomi wins, he will probably rule the world!"
"He currently has three sons, including you. If there is a fight for the crown prince, and you are involved in it, the Sheng family will most likely be in trouble again!"
"If King Gaomi loses, let alone the fate of the Sheng family!"
"My dad has always said that you are a man who repays kindness, so let me be nice to you."
"But when I look at it now, how can you repay kindness with kindness? You simply repay kindness with hatred!!!"
She had actually wanted to say this to Sheng Suihe for a long time, but she was afraid of disturbing his mood of trying, so she kept silent.
Although Sheng Suihe will probably take part in a palace examination at this time, that will be at least nearly a month later, and she plans to leave Chang'an in early March, which is less than half a month later, so naturally she has no time to wait.
After nearly a month of time adjustment, Sheng Weiqiao felt that the city was enough to house Sleeping Crane.
So at this moment, Sheng Suihe took the opportunity to sneak into the boudoir quietly, and said it happily. At the end, he said coldly, "So don't try to ask me to marry you. The Sheng family is far away in Nanfeng County, and there is no dispute between me and the temple." It has nothing to do with it. It’s because of you that I’m being implicated! But if it’s just about Young Master Shanda, there’s still room to distance yourself from the relationship. Just say that I don’t know your origin at all, and I just want to have an heir with outstanding qualifications. , since you have such a noble origin, our Sheng family naturally does not dare to climb high, and from now on, there will be no connection between the bridge and the road back!"
"But if you and I get married, how can the Sheng family avoid this storm?!"
"There may be women in this world who will risk everything for their lover, but I am definitely not that kind of person!"
"Originally, I was loved by the Sheng family, but I never shared my parents' worries. This is already unfilial. If now because of you, the Sheng family is involved in the whirlpool involving the throne, am I still a human being?!"
"..." Sheng Suihe frowned, with no expression on his face. After being silent for a while, he said, "My dear girl, do you also admit that I am your lover, not your brother?"
Sheng Weiqiao originally thought that he was sensible and general, and that he was really a good daughter of his parents and a considerate little cotton-padded jacket. However, he did not expect that after hearing his impassioned rebuke, this man did not feel ashamed or became angry. Instead, he paid special attention to what he casually said: "My lover." "The two words left me speechless.
After a pause, Fang said: "Don't waste your time by saying such meaningless words. I will never let you plot against the Sheng family."
Hearing this, Sheng Suihe smiled to himself, feeling a little helpless: "When I dug the hole at the beginning, I thought it would be none of my business to bury anyone. But unexpectedly, the one I bury now is myself! Doesn't this count? It’s your own fault?”
Shaking his head, he straightened his expression and said, "My dear girl, I have indeed hidden a lot of things from you, so it is understandable for you to doubt me. However, I do sincerely like you, and I have absolutely no snobbish considerations."
Seeing some disapproval between Sheng Weiqiao's brows, Sheng Suihe raised his hand and pinched his forehead, with an inexplicable expression on his face, and said softly, "As for what you are worried about, I have actually experienced the impact on the Sheng family after my life experience was exposed. Don’t think about it.”
"Before I talk about my considerations, I just want to ask you a question: Do you really think that the Sheng family is far away in Nanfeng County, and both grandfather, father and two uncles have either been in the official position for a long time or have never joined the army? Being an official has nothing to do with this storm in the temple?!"
