Chapter Twenty-Five: The Past of the Outer Chamber
So, in the "elder brother" of the two sisters, Sheng Sleepy Crane reluctantly sat back: "Even if you are your own brother, you are so old, and there is no one around, it is not good to hear it out! Don't even say it when you turn around!"
Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwei will just ask him to stay and be brave, of course, they will be obedient, and they will nod their heads scramblingly when they hear the words - of course, they all have one thought in their hearts: When the day dawns and the servants bring food, you are useless, see how we clean you up!!
However, the long night was long, and it was not a solution for the three of them to keep staring at each other: Sheng Sleeping Crane wanted to sleep, but was woken up by the sisters, and he let the sisters sleep, and although the sisters were extremely sleepy, they did not dare to close their eyes.

After such a meeting, Sheng Weiqiao felt that he should find a topic to talk about, so as to refresh himself, and said, "Speaking of which, what about your mother?"
"I don't remember. After she spoke, she felt inappropriate, but fortunately, Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't turn her face or dislike it, but said in a flat tone, "People around her say that she is far away, I think she should be doing well, right?"
So, his own mother is gone? The so-called good life probably hopes that she will rest in peace under the Nine Springs, right?
The sisters exchanged glances and remained silent.
After all, Sheng Sleeping Crane's biological mother was Sheng Lanci's outer chamber - the two of them really couldn't say anything to regret the death of this outer chamber.
There was silence in the room.
After a while, Sheng Weiqiao felt so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, so he had to find a topic again: "What did you do before?"
She thought that her family was so rich, even if Sheng Sleeping Crane was the son of the outer room, she would definitely not be able to suffer, most of them were like her second uncle, spending money all day long, messing with flowers and grass, and not doing business...... Maybe in two days, a woman will come to the door with a child in her arms?
Who wants to sleep Crane smiled, and said slowly: "I can't remember it before I was five or six years old, and then I didn't carelessly fall into the hands of human traffickers, but fortunately, I met my stepfather halfway and saved me!"
"But at that time I was so frightened that I couldn't remember my biological parents and family. My father-in-law couldn't send me back, so he left me with him for the time being. Originally, he planned to use me as a servant, but my father-in-law's only son liked me very much, recognized me as a younger brother, and taught me martial arts. ”
"After studying for a while, my father-in-law felt that I was still diligent, so he officially recognized my son-in-law and treated me as his own son. ”
"As a result, when I grew up, my brother-in-law felt that I was more talented in studying, so he went out to ...... Got a gentleman for me. Under the teachings of this gentleman, I studied for a few years, and in the middle I also helped my father-in-law and brother-in-law, who had already persuaded my father-in-law to let me participate in the imperial examination in two years. Who knows that there are unforeseen circumstances, some time ago my father-in-law died suddenly, and my father-in-law's brothers fought together to poison our brother in order to fight for the family property.
Speaking of this, he pointed to his chest with a gloomy expression.
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned for a moment, and then understood that he was hinting at the origin of those wounds, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Where is your father-in-law the head of the powerful family?
The Sheng family made a fortune late, and the old lady Sheng should be strong and strong, so there should be no need to divide the family in recent years.
What's more, the Sheng family has always been the old lady Sheng and Sheng Lanci have the final say, Sheng Lansi and Sheng Lanzi brothers have the right to speak in the industry, and they are not as good as stewards, and they are famous for being cowardly when they see their father and brother. It is estimated that even if it is really time to divide the family in the future, although the second and third rooms are a little cautious, they dare not be too out of line.
Nanfeng County's veteran Xuanyu family and Feng family have had family property wars before - the most recent is Sheng Weiqiao's uncle Xuan Yule died suddenly, leaving a mess of romantic accounts, and five brothers who are still in important positions in the prime of life, her aunt spent a lot of effort to settle it, and it is this settlement that made everyone in Nanfeng County see the power of Xuanyu Feng.
Otherwise, Sheng Weiqiao's seventeen-year-old cousin Xuan Yushu alone can't stop Xuan Yu from up and down the family!
Xuan Yule died the year before last, and although Sheng Weiqiao was only ten years old, because of the turmoil in the city, and the future of her aunt and cousin, she had more or less heard some rumors - she thought that the competition for the family property of the Xuan Yu family was already very fierce, but she didn't want Sheng Sleeping Crane's experience to be thrilling!
"It doesn't have much to do with the amount of property. Sheng Shenghe glanced at her with a smile, and then said, "In the final analysis, my uncles are not very good-tempered, and they will do it when they don't say a word, and they don't think about the love of flesh and blood at all, which is really chilling!"
Sheng Weiqiao was a little angry for no reason: "Who is your father-in-law?" Ming'er asked Dad, the government of the place where your father-in-law is located, and Dad can trust the relationship - so careless of human life, is there any royal law?!"
The words of righteous indignation came out, and I felt that something was wrong: the more unlucky I should be in this outer room, the happier I should be! Why do you want to give him an idea to take revenge?!
It must be because I need to hold him steady now!
That's right!
I don't really care about him!
Thinking like this, Sheng Weiqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But I heard Sheng Sleeping Crane laugh and said, "It's okay, the people who hurt me have been hacked to death by me...... cough, cough cough...... I seem to have let them go, but in fact they have been sent to prison on other charges!"
Huangquan Hell is also a prison!
"That's pretty much it!" Sheng Weiqiao didn't hear the flaw, and nodded with satisfaction, "This kind of person who is a traitor should be handed over to the government to deal with--Are you familiar with the government in that place? Do you want to let your father make some money for the prison and ask the jailer to entertain them?"
As Sheng Lanci's biological daughter, although Sheng Weiqiao was spoiled by her father and mother to be naïve and ignorant, there were some ways that could be touched by her ears.
"No, I don't. However, Sheng Sleeping Crane obviously felt that such a sophisticated suggestion did not match the impression she had given herself, and glanced at her with some surprise, before smiling, "Do you think the government will let go of this opportunity to make money?"
Sheng Weiqiao was right when he thought about it, so he stopped making suggestions and asked curiously, "What about later?"
"Later, I was seriously injured, not only could I not help my brother-in-law, but asked my brother-in-law to take extra time to take care of me, and I was so sad that I wanted to find my biological parents. Sheng Sleepy Crane said lazily, "I didn't have much hope, but my father and brother have been helping to check over the years, and it didn't take long to find my father's ......."
Speaking of this, he paused, and his tone seemed to be difficult, "Actually, I didn't think that I would be able to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, I just thought that my father-in-law and brother treated me well, but I have been dragging them down, and I can't help them with anything." Thinking that if my own father and mother are quite capable, maybe they can help me repay my brother-in-law? Even if it is just to rent me a place to live outside to recuperate, lest I live in my brother's house, and let my brother-in-law worry about my young and innocent nieces and nephews, and have to worry about me again, it is also good. ”
"......" Sheng Weiqiao didn't know how to answer for a while, comfort him, she was really unwilling, after all, Sheng Lanci and Feng's enviable story for many years was broken because of him;
"I didn't mean anything else when I told my sister, in fact, my father has never looked for me over the years, so it can be seen that he really only has your sister and his grandmother in his heart. Sheng Sleeping Crane saw that she didn't answer, and he didn't care, his eyes were gentle, and he said gently, "The reason why he brought me back this time, in the final analysis, is all for my sister's consideration!"
Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but say, "I don't want your help!"
"My sister is smart and cute, so naturally she doesn't have much use for being a brother. Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't feel embarrassed at all, but nodded as a matter of course, and followed the conversation, "However, Daddy is very sorry for his sister - this is a way of caring and chaos, even if Daddy knows that with his sister's cleverness and intelligence, he doesn't need anyone's help at all, and he can be prosperous and beautiful, but because of his concern, he can't help but prepare all kinds of protection and back-up for his sister." My sister said that is not the truth?"
"Dad, he just likes to worry about it!" Sheng Weiqiao shouted during this time, "Who wants Sheng Sleeping Crane to help Miss Ben can beat all the enemies of life with one hand, Daddy, you actually underestimate me so much", I was beaten by Feng's family, but I didn't expect Sheng Sleeping Crane to support her, although I always felt a little weird, but I still felt that this outer room was actually not so annoying, she raised her chin, quite vicissitudes of life, "I, as a daughter, can only be more considerate of him, don't care!"
"......" Sheng Sleeping Crane was expressionless for a moment, before he resisted the urge to laugh wildly, in order to hide his true emotions, he nodded solemnly, "My sister is filial, and I am ashamed of my brother!"
Sheng Weiqiao snorted lightly and didn't speak, seemingly disdainful of his appreciation, but she didn't feel good in her heart: she only said that this half-brother had been raised outside by Sheng Lanci with silver, and lived a good life of being drunk and free. Maybe when she is free, she will be like her aunt said, thinking about how to eradicate her mother and daughter and occupy the big house alone.
Who would have thought that he would be sold at the age of five or six, and after he was saved, even if he recognized a father-in-law who seemed to be very rich, since the father-in-law had the intention of making him a servant, it can be seen that he didn't value him very much, even if he was later accepted as a righteous son, most of them either saw that he was quite talented, or knew that he was Sheng Lanci's illicit son, and had other plans.
In this case, will the sleeping crane under the fence have a good time?
Have a good life, but still be cut half to death?
Even if he reported to the official and sent the person who cut him to prison, since those people have money, maybe Sheng Sleeping Crane left his father-in-law's house on the front foot, and they bought the government to restore their freedom on the back foot?!
"I don't know if what he said is true or not?" Sheng Weiqiao was entangled for a while, and secretly thought, "Ming'er will check with Dad, if it is true, then I will take care of him when I clean him up in the future...... Right?"
Thinking so, she fell asleep unconsciously—and next to her, the younger Sheng Weiwei had already fallen into a sweet dream half a day ago.
The sleeping crane, who had been shouting sleepy before, was still in good spirits at the moment.
He smiled and watched the two sisters fall asleep, and Fang carried the sisters back to the futon on the straw one by one, covered them with quilts, and tucked the corners of the quilts. Then he tiptoed out of the door, went to the court to find the "green fire", and after destroying the corpse, he returned to the room with confidence, sat down in the chair, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
…… After dawn the next day, the three brothers and sisters hastily cleaned up, and after tidying up their appearance, Sheng Sleeping Crane thoughtfully released the sisters out of the ancestral hall and asked them to tell the elders about their horror and grievances last night!
Of course, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwei's confession ending was the same as he thought: Old lady Sheng went around the ancestral hall suspiciously, and after finding nothing, he was naturally suspicious: "It's only been grounded for less than two days, and you want to come out?!It's still green fire, it's still ghosts, there are really green fires and ghosts, it's all been over overnight, how can you still be good?!You can't even lie!"
The old lady really didn't plan to lock up the two granddaughters for a month, but these two children are too angry, right? It's been less than three days, and the aftermath of the birthday banquet has not yet been completed.
Absolutely no way!
Therefore, the old lady decided without hesitation: "Lock them up for me! I will not be allowed to come out for less than ten days and half a month!!
