When Sheng Weiqiao arrived at Xiezhuxuan, Sheng Suihe had just come out of the bath.
Perhaps because of this, his pale face was stained with a little crimson, and he looked much better.
"I just came back, why did my sister come here to look for my brother again?" Seeing Sheng Weiqiao coming in with a solemn look, Sheng Suihe didn't take it seriously at first, and teased with a smile while tying the belt of the crane's cloak with crow green bottom and wide sleeves. , "Is it possible that when you were being chased and intercepted just now, you caught sight of some cousin or cousin, and now you can't wait to find out the news?"
Seeing his smiling face, Sheng Weiqiao had no intention of joking with him, and directly ordered the people around him: "Everyone, stand down!"
Although Sheng Suihe is the prospective heir to Dafang, he has just come back after all, and he has no foundation in this family. Sheng Weiqiao was held in the palms of the Sheng family from the moment he landed on the ground. At this moment, Sheng Weiqiao spoke, and those who served Sheng Sleeping He did not dare to disobey, and they all bowed their knees and left.
However, Gongsun Xi was not like that. The other servants all left, but this young man still had a cold face and stood behind Sheng Suihe with his arms folded. He did not even look at Sheng Weiqiao - Sheng Weiqiao was already worried, so when he saw this situation , suddenly showed an angry look!
Sheng Suihe simply nodded to him in time. Gongsun Xi rolled his eyes at Sheng Weiqiao reluctantly, then gave him a fist and walked out the door.
"Okay, dear girl, what do you want to tell me about something so mysterious?" Sheng Suihe saw that Gongsun Xi had already closed the door, and then pointed to the seat not far away and asked with a smile.
"There's no need to sit down!" Sheng Weiqiao glared at him, biting his red lips to leave a row of marks with his fine teeth, and then whispered, "You just need to answer me one question -"
She paused here and took a deep breath obviously, "Are you... are you my father's bloodline?"
"Auntie doesn't believe that I am a child of the Sheng family?" Sheng Suihe's smile did not change, but his eyes darkened, and he sighed, "My dear girl, you are so old, you can't just follow what others say! You see, before, my father When you brought me back, you kept calling me brother. Later, your father told you about brother's life experience, and you immediately expressed deep sympathy for brother! Now, my aunt is taking the opportunity of the lotus banquet to tell you. After a few words, you actually believed me right away! You are so easy to coax, I am really worried about you when I call you brother!"
Sheng Weiqiao said angrily: "What do you mean it's what others say?! Are my father and my aunt someone else?!"
She thought something was wrong and stamped her feet, "Don't change the topic! Tell me what your relationship is with my father! Don't talk in circles!"
"Since my dear girl wants to know so much..." Sheng Suihe looked at her angrily expression with interest, touched her chin and showed a wicked smile, "Brother, I just didn't tell you!"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's face flushed with anger, he even laughed out loud, "My dear, what are you going to do now? Why don't you try shouting 'good brother' a few times, and then give me a pat on the leg or a shoulder squeeze?" I’ve made Brother Wei happy, maybe I’ll tell you about it?”
"Bah!" Sheng Weiqiao clenched his fists, his dark eyes filled with raging anger, "You won't tell me? I think you have a guilty conscience!"
Sheng Suihe just touched his chin and smiled at her, noncommittal.
"You... are you going to tell me?!" Sheng Weiqiao was in a stalemate with him for a moment, but when he saw that he was still indifferent, he turned his eyes and suddenly stepped forward, grabbed a whisk on the table, pointed at him and shouted, "Don't tell me, believe me or not." Whip you!?”
Sheng Suihe glanced at the whisk lazily and said in a gentle tone: "My dear girl, it's wrong for you to hold the whisk like this! A girl like you who has never practiced martial arts has insufficient hand strength. It's impossible to hit someone with the tail of the whisk. If it hurts, you should turn the whisk upside down and hit it with the handle!"
He reminded him very kindly, "And according to the position you are standing now, you can at most slap Brother Wei on the arm. How can this scare Brother Wei? You should at least move two steps to the side and aim at Brother Wei's old wound that has not yet healed." Don't worry about it! Even if you don't like to see blood, you should step back so that you can show your respect to me, right?"
"... Don't think I can't hear it. You are hinting to me that you saved me when I was injured at sea!" Sheng Weiqiao held the fly whisk tightly, trembling all over. After a long while, she squeezed out a sound from between her teeth, "But if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been involved at all!"
Sheng Suihe said "Yes" with a smile, and said calmly: "So, dear girl, do you want to take action?"
Pointing to her long, still wet hair, "If my dear girl doesn't want to whip my brother, then I'll have to call someone back to take care of her!"
In fact, although Sheng Weiqiao kept saying that he did not appreciate his life-saving grace, he was somewhat hesitant in his heart and lowered his arms that were originally raised.
If Sheng Suihe said a few soft words and coaxed her at this time, she would definitely not take action.
However, Sheng Suihe not only did not mean to calm down the matter, but instead added fuel to the fire. He looked like "Whatever you want to do, I have nothing to be afraid of anyway." Sheng Weiqiao, who was a little hesitant, suddenly felt angry from the bottom of his heart!
"Is he so sure that I don't dare or won't hit him?!" Sheng Weiqiao thought, and his original retreat turned into determination. He stepped forward without hesitation, swung the fly whisk and struck it on Sheng Sleeping He's arm. !
Although she could clearly hear Sheng Suihe's "teachings" just now, she had no interest in tying up her servants and beating them up when she had nothing to do. Even if this would anger Sheng Suihe again and again, she couldn't do it in front of others. Or something to do with wounds.
Sheng Suihe watched with a smile as the fly whisk whizzed down to his left arm, motionless, and his brows were calm. However, just when the fly whisk was about to touch his clothes, something was suddenly thrown through the half-open window, hitting him hard. Whisk on the handle!
Before Sheng Weiqiao realized what was going on, he felt a light touch in his hand!
"Crack!"
Half of the handle and the tail fell onto the brocade felt with gold-painted lotuses and sea beasts on the azure background. It bounced a few times and finally lay helplessly at Sheng Weiqiao's feet.
"What are you doing?!" Sheng Weiqiao was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily at Gongsun who appeared in the window lattice, "Who allowed you to sneak in there?!"
Gongsun Xi was expressionless, neither refuting nor apologizing.
That indifferent look was very much like Sheng Suihe's fanning the flames just now. Sheng Weiqiao stared at him, wishing he could just bring a stone drum and hit him in the face, so that his indifferent face would be smashed to pieces!
There was a brief stalemate in the room, which was broken by Sheng Suihe's chuckle: "Axi, you go down first!"
Gongsun Xi's calm face turned slightly after hearing these instructions: "Chief..."
Sheng Suihe just looked at him with a smile, and then Gongsun Xi lowered his head: "Yes!"
After he retreated, Sheng Suihe turned to Sheng Weiqiao: "My dear girl, you are making trouble just because you want to know whether my brother's biological mother has ever intervened between your father and mother - yes or no? Otherwise, it will be the same as before. The excuse I gave you is that we are half-brothers and sisters, so why did you immediately change your attitude towards your brother?"
Waving his hand to stop Sheng Weiqiao's words, he raised his thin lips and his smile grew stronger, "But, have you ever thought about it? Even if my biological mother intervened between your parents, my brother's children were all born. What can you do to my brother? Do you want to kill my brother? I just saw that you didn’t dare to hit my brother in the face just now. Are you sure you have the courage to be so cruel to your blood brothers?"
He lowered his long eyelashes like a feather fan, and the curve of the corner of his mouth became more and more upward, "The problem is that if you don't kill Brother Wei, even if Brother Wei means even, even if you can drive Brother Wei out of the house next time - anyway, you She is a girl and will get married in two years. Unless your mother gives birth to a boy in the past two years, do you believe that dad will definitely take me back?"
"By then, the result won't be the same?"
"Brother Wei doesn't know how relieved it would be if you didn't have to fight against Brother Wei at home!"
"The most important thing is that outsiders don't know that your mother has always been very generous to my brother, but you can't tolerate my brother - they will only talk about your mother being narrow-minded, arrogant and domineering. She pretends to be generous on the surface, but in private she keeps instigating you to target her. As a brother!”
Looking at Sheng Weiqiao's apricot eyes that instantly widened, Sheng Suihe smiled happily, "Of course, brother Wei knows that with the person my aunt is, she will definitely not care about these whispers. So, dear girl, you don't seem to be either. Do you need to worry too much about this?"
"... You are so despicable!!!" Sheng Weiqiao wanted to refute, but after thinking for a long time, he found that the rebuttal he could think of was so weak: As Sheng Suihe said, no matter whether Sheng Lanci betrayed Feng or not, , Sheng Sleeping Crane is already in this world.
Even if Sheng Weiqiao proves that his life experience is not as innocent as Sheng Lanci said, so what
She could drive him away, splash him with ink, beat him with a whisk... but she couldn't chop off his head with a sword like she did to Young Master Han!
This is not only because they may be biological siblings, but also because Sheng Suihe only teased her without actually insulting or murdering her. Sheng Weiqiao's character was incapable of doing such a thing.
"It's not because I'm mean to you, but because you're so impulsive, my dear girl!" Sheng Suihe looked at her jokingly, his eyes still shining brightly in the room, and said slowly, "Look at you, you haven't thought of anything yet. You excitedly ran over to see Brother Wei Xingshi for questioning... Fortunately, you are in your own home. If you were outside now and the person you were questioning was an outsider, how would you step down?"
"If this outsider still has a family relationship or business relationship with the two families, how much trouble will you cause with such a hot-headed approach?"
Sheng Weiqiao listened to his lesson in confusion, and subconsciously said, "Then what should I do?"
Before Sheng Suihe could answer her words, she woke up with a start - she was so angry that she screamed, "Who allowed you to teach me a lesson?! You actually want to teach me a lesson!!! Who do you think you are!!!"
After shouting hysterically, Sheng Weiqiao completely lost the confidence to continue questioning: not only was she speechless by the outer room, but she actually asked him for advice because her mind was temporarily lost!
This is simply a shame! ! !
Sheng Weiqiao felt that he could never be more embarrassed in his life!
After kicking the dwarf, Sheng Weiqiao almost used up all her self-control to stop herself from fleeing from Xiezhuxuan - but even though she tried her best to maintain the attitude of "walking away", after going out, she still felt Your cheeks are burning hot, and you don’t need to look in the mirror to know that your face will be filled with red glow: half ashamed, half angry!
She resisted the urge to reach out and touch it, and was about to tell the maid to go back to Zhu Ying's small building, when Xiquan suddenly walked towards her in a hurry: "Miss, where are you going?"
Without waiting for Sheng Weiqiao's reply, she already said, "If you have nothing really important to do, go to the second room with your slave!"
As he spoke, he grabbed her arm and dragged her away - Sheng Weiqiao was caught off guard and almost staggered by her!
"What's wrong?" Thanks to Lu Jin's quick eyes and quick help, Sheng Weiqiao was able to stand upright. While keeping up with Xiquan's footsteps, he asked in surprise, "Why do you suddenly want me to go to the second room at this time?"
Although the lotus banquet held at Xuanyu Mansion ended not long after lunch, it was hot today and the days were longer than the nights. However, the group went back home and tidied up again. It was almost time for dinner - even though it was full of food. There are no rules in the house that say you are not allowed to move between rooms at this time, but according to the usual tacit understanding, if there is no business, everyone should go to their own room at this time of the day.
Sheng Weiqiao was so surprised. She was just wondering if her careless second uncle was causing trouble again, but she heard Xiquan sigh and say briefly: "The second lady is gone!"
