Sheng Weiqiao didn't know that Xuan Yu's sisters were talking to each other after she left. She left Xuan Yu's mansion listlessly, dazed in the carriage for a while, and finally decided to go to Feng's mansion for now.
When she arrived at the mansion, she unexpectedly ran into the stewards from Sheng Mansion who came to look for her and Feng.
Sheng Weiqiao thought he was here to talk about Mr. Sheng's affairs, but the steward said: "County Lord, are you here? That's great. Please go back and save the day! Someone from the Jiangnan Luo family has come, and they have received the eldest son Taiping." After the news that nothing happened, they came here specifically to discuss the marriage. They took the sea route, but they were much faster than the eldest son and the others, so they arrived first... The eldest son's fiancée's clan brother and clan sister-in-law came in person. The third lady was afraid that The Luo family has a profound background and has violated the rules and lost our face, so we must have you or the eldest lady go back and take charge!"
"..." Sheng Weiqiao was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, "The Luo family is here? You can't neglect that!"
So he hurriedly went to see Mrs. Zhan to say goodbye. Mrs. Zhan put her arms around Rong Ruibin and said with a smile: "Since the Sheng family has important matters, you can go back. It is a matter of life for your cousin. It is really not good to delay it." .”
After his niece left, his face instantly darkened, and he snorted coldly, "You almost hurt my heart and daughter, and you still want to use the light of my grandson-in-law to get in touch with the Luo family? What a dream! If this marriage is not disturbed, , I, the Feng family, are simply called local snakes in vain!!!”
The maids on the left and right didn't dare to say anything. The old lady was resentful for a while, then looked down at her nephew who was vomiting bubbles, and suddenly changed her expression to a happy one. Her gentle voice could make water dripping from her eyes, "Little darling, let's go back. We have to seek justice for your mother and your aunt... Are you happy?"
The still ignorant child was concentrating on blowing bubbles and had no reaction to her words.
The old lady waited for a while and then asked and answered herself: "The little boy is so lovable, he will be a filial and considerate good child in the future, and he will definitely be happy!"
While she was enjoying herself coaxing the child, Sheng Weiqiao had already returned to the Sheng Mansion. She went to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu first to change into the clothes for the guests, and then went to the main hall. She saw several boxes and cages placed outside, and there were also many servants standing there. Don't recognize it.
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao coming and hearing his servants address him as the county lord, he immediately knew his identity and hurriedly came up to salute.
After Sheng Weiqiao made peace, he asked the servants at the door in a low voice. Knowing that they were still chatting inside, it was not when business was about to be interrupted, so he straightened his clothes and went in.
After entering the door, she saw her father, Sheng Lanci, talking to a man in his thirties wearing rich clothes under a tortoise-shell screen with 80% landscape and mica embedded in it.
The man was fair-skinned, with upright and delicate features, and a somewhat formal demeanor. He wore a round-neck robe with dark green embroidery of crocodile flowers, a light green crepe crane cloak, and a leather belt around his waist. A piece of jade pendant with Ruyi cloud pattern. There is a shrewd and capable look between his eyebrows, and he looks very neat, but he is a little short. Even if he and Sheng Lanci are sitting together, he is still more than half a head shorter than Sheng Lanci.
On the bottom left is Sheng Lanzi, who is holding a tea bowl in a daze.
Accompanying Mrs. Xiao on the right is a woman who looks to be only 18 or 19 years old. She is dressed like a woman, with a pony topknot, a gilt-dotted emerald green luan, holding beads and hibiscus on her head, and her makeup is very delicate. The pair of small brows are especially graceful, and the eyes seem to be able to talk. They turn around at will, showing affection.
Sheng Wei Qiao Xin said that the age gap between the couple looked a bit big, and she didn’t know if they were the original couple. If so, it's not because the man got married extraordinarily late, but because he is so good at being a wife.
The few people inside noticed Sheng Weiqiao coming in, and they all looked at him.
Sheng Lanci introduced: "This is my little girl."
Hearing that, Sheng Lanci and Sheng Lanzi and his wife just gave up. They were both blood relatives of Sheng Weiqiao, and knowing that Sheng Weiqiao was not seen at home, they only nodded slightly and had no intention of getting up.
But the visiting couple hurriedly stood up to greet them, saying that they had met the princess and the princess.
Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her, and said with a smile: "You two must not see each other outside. We are all one family."
Brothers Sheng Lanci and Sheng Lanzi both said: "This is exactly the reason. My family, Wei De, has made a marriage agreement with my sister a long time ago. It was not because of the Chang'an incident that the two children were already married. We are all relatives, so we can only take care of Kang Zhao." Just treat her like a younger sister!"
Of course, people from the Luo family wouldn't take it seriously if they said that. They only dared to sit down after Sheng Weiqiao sat down.
After sitting down, of course there was another conversation as usual, which lasted for a long time, and the Luo family and his wife both looked tired.
Seeing this, Sheng Lanci suggested that they go to the guest house to take a rest, because although the sea route was more comfortable than the land route, and the Luo family came here on their own boat, it was not close from Jiangnan to Nanfeng County, and they were also walking on the sea. After walking for several days, it was hard to bear the scene of walking around.
What's more, the climate in Nanfeng County is a bit different from that in Jiangnan. Although these two people seem to be in good health, they still need to adapt.
After the guests left, Sheng Weiqiao said to Mrs. Xiao: "Auntie said she couldn't cope with it, but I think I came back for nothing today. Didn't you tell Sister-in-law Zheng very well? I'm not very intrusive. Gotta talk."
Mrs. Xiao was startled when she heard this, and was about to say something when she suddenly heard Sheng Lanci cough above her. She suddenly woke up and said hurriedly: "Aunt, aren't you afraid of losing something and asking you to come over to calm things down? After all, your second uncle, you You know it too! How can we count on him for such a big thing? Since we have to host the Luo family on behalf of De'er, we naturally can't slack off, otherwise it will ruin De'er's life! "
Although she admitted it immediately, Sheng Weiqiao had noticed Sheng Lanci's reminder and couldn't help but glare at his father, stood up and said: "The guests have been entertained, so I will go back to my grandmother's house first! Ruibin is still there Grandma is here, he is making a fuss now, so he can’t tire her out!"
Sheng Lanci said hurriedly: "My dear girl, you have been living in Feng Mansion for a long time. Now someone from the Luo family has arrived. Although your aunt can also help with the reception, Wu'er and Che'er will be here soon. You have to go back home, and your aunt hasn't seen her children for a while, so she has to be prepared, right?"
"Besides, Mrs. Zheng seems to be about the same age as you. How can we compare people of your similar age?"
Sheng Weiqiao sighed and did not continue to say goodbye, but after Sheng Lanzi and his wife resigned, she confessed to her father: "Dad, I can't say anything about this incident! After all, it's not just me and Mi Zhen who are being plotted, my aunt is also among them. Guilty! My aunt said it all, she has never suffered such a loss, and she will never swallow this sigh of relief! What can I say? Without my aunt to accompany me in the past two years, I don’t know what to do most of the time. Came here?"
"Especially when Ruibin was born, if my aunt hadn't been guarding her all the time, coaxing and persuading me, I would probably have told her where she was!"
"My aunt just now said that I have no conscience, and I can't reply even a word!"
Not only was she unable to reply, Sheng Lanci also felt guilty and remained silent for a long time. After a while, she smiled bitterly and said, "That's it! Let your grandfather come back and let him figure it out!"
He doesn't care and can't control it.
After all, Xuan Yu, Feng's sister-in-law, knew it all too well.
No one can stop what you have decided to do!
She was always so arrogant when she was ignored before, not to mention that now she is one of the victims
Speaking of which, it was Sheng Lanci's request to announce that Feng Shi had accompanied Sheng Weiqiao for thousands of miles. As a result, the aunt-in-law fulfilled her brother-in-law's entrustment properly, but she almost died in the hands of her brother-in-law's biological father. She is coming back now. She decided to seek justice from her enemies... Sheng Lanci felt that no matter how much she thought about the father-son relationship with Mrs. Sheng, she really didn't have the shame to plead with her sister-in-law at the moment.
His interest was low, and he did not force his daughter to live in the house.
However, after Sheng Weiqiao went out, he couldn't make up his mind whether to go back to Zhu Ying Xiaozhu or Feng Mansion. Instead, Xiao sent someone to invite him to Xiqiu Pavilion.
Sheng Weiqiao thought something was wrong with her aunt, but instead she was talking to her about the two people from the Luo family: "Qiao'er, look at the age gap between Mrs. Zheng and Mr. Luo, isn't it too big?"
"Yes, is it a step-sister or something?" Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what her aunt was going to say, so she said casually, "But I heard that there are beauties from the south of the Yangtze River, and they look like girls when they get older... Well, that's what I thought of. The two empresses Shu in the palace are old enough to be grandmothers, but looking at them, I really thought they were only eighteen!"
Mrs. Xiao was curious about the Shu sisters and continued to talk about Mrs. Zheng: "She is not good at looking good! I just heard from my servants and asked their servants for the news. Mrs. Zheng only came out of the cabinet the year before last. He’s only eighteen years old now!”
Then he whispered, "And it's a continuation!"
"Isn't this nothing?" Sheng Weiqiao said, puzzled, "Master Luo is not very old. Now that he has lost his wife, is it normal for him to marry again?"
"If he were to remarry after losing his wife, I wouldn't tell you that this is new." Ms. Xiao smiled and said, "It's not that his previous wife was at peace with her, and he said he was making trouble when he divorced. It’s ugly, so why don’t I tell you something?”
Sheng Weiqiao said in surprise: "Master Luo is a descendant of the Luo family, and his wife must be a good match. Even if the relationship is not harmonious, will it be ugly to reconcile?"
I just remembered that Sheng Lanci was in Chang'an for Sheng Weide and sent someone to discuss the dissolution of the engagement with the Luo family. They categorically said that they must wait. This impression is very important for family reputation
Xiao said with a smile but not a smile: "This situation is also unlucky for his first wife... There are two famous families in Jiangnan, one is the Luo family, and the other is the Gao family? Although the Gao family has married the daughter of the Meng family in the past two years, There was a lot of pressure on the Luo family, and the relationship between the two families deteriorated. But in the past, the two families lived next to each other, and they were in harmony, not to mention they were brothers. Therefore, most of the children in the family were married. The first wife of Mr. Luo was Gao’s daughter!”
"The Meng family was killed before, and the whole army of Wu'an Marquis Mansion was wiped out. The Gao family was already in a mess because of the struggle for position after the head of the family left. Now, it is getting more and more chaotic."
"Master Luo decided to reconcile with his original wife and remarried the daughter of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, Mrs. Zheng!"
Sheng Weiqiao raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Auntie specifically told me about this...?"
Could it be that he came here to gossip with her
