Sheng Yuanlian followed Aunt Ci all the way back to Nanyuan, he was really puzzled in his heart, and he had only walked out of Nanyuan before. Both the father and stepmother asked themselves to persecute their wives to pave the way for the third brother's official career. It was the first time in his life that he refused. At that time, my father and stepmother looked very unhappy.

But now Sheng Yuanlian is a five-grade official in the central government, and he is no longer the young master in cloth clothes that he used to be. So the father and stepmother can't force him to do anything. But now that he suddenly called himself to Nanyuan, could it be that he had some strategy to force himself to comply? Sheng Yuan warned himself again and again not to continue to ruin his way of being a gentleman for the sake of the Sheng family's so-called reputation.

Aunt Ci opened the curtain of the inner room for Sheng Yuanlian, and the room was still gloomy and depressing. The old lady Wu and the old lady Sheng Sufeng sat on the top, and when they saw Sheng Yuanlian coming in, their expressions became even more gloomy. What Sheng Yuanlian didn't expect was that the other sons of the Sheng family were also among them.

"I wonder why the father and the mother called the son?" Sheng Yuan Lianqiang pressed the displeasure in his heart and asked. Sheng Sufeng's face was gloomy, but his tone was a little tentative: "I heard that the fifth child of the Bai family has a lot of things?" ”

Sheng Yuanlian looked up at his father in surprise, how could this news be so fast? The wife only learned the news after receiving a hundred miles of urgent news. How did my father find out? Sheng Yuanlian was not a fool, and quickly turned his attention to his stepmother Wu. I'm afraid that in the north courtyard, there are many eyeliner of this stepmother. Isn't that sick aunt her biggest eyeliner?

In the past, Sheng Yuanlian faced the Wu family, in line with the way of a gentleman, and devoted himself to filial piety, but now Sheng Yuanlian suddenly felt that his former self was really a joke. Sheng Sufeng saw that his second son still didn't answer, so he said again: "Could it be that the fifth child of the Bai family really sentenced the autumn queen to be beheaded?" ”

Sheng Yuanlian didn't have time to speak, but the third master on the side was the first to speak: "That kid from the Bai family was really sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn?" This kid looks like an uncle in Shengjing on weekdays, but I didn't expect to have today, haha! As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately met with a cold eye from Sheng Yuanlian.

The third lady was a little more colorful than him, and secretly pulled the sleeve of the third master's coat, signaling him not to continue talking. The third master looked indifferent. It's just that he didn't speak again, which made his second brother, who was usually gentle, angry. The old lady Wu Shi spoke and asked, "Yuan Lian, what did your father ask you about, is there such a thing?" ”

"Stepmother. Now that you know this news, don't you know whether this news is true or false? Sheng Yuan said to Wu in such a sarcastic tone for the first time. Wu Shi was so angry that he didn't fight anywhere, his face was blue and red for a while, and he made up words to his lips and endured it stubbornly.

"Since the Bai family has provoked the Prime Minister's Mansion. Recently, a few of you have paid more attention, and when you return to Shengjing, don't get too close to the Bai family again. Especially you, Yuan Lian, remind your wife, don't get involved in the affairs of your mother's family, and be the second young lady of her Sheng family, otherwise, the family rules of the Sheng family are extremely strict, and I think you are also clear. ”

The old lady spoke in a bad tone. Listening to Sheng Yuanlian's ears, there was no sentence to hear. Sheng Yuanlian has followed his father as an official in Shengjing for so many years, and he knows very well what kind of person his father is, but this time he has gone too far, even if he is his own son, he really can't stand it.

Just to refute his father's such a thing in person, Sheng Yuanlian still can't do it. Only said in a muffled voice: "Father, my son is a little unwell today, if my father has nothing to do, my son will go back to Orchid Garden first." Sheng Sufeng saw that Sheng Yuanlian did not refute. Just as Sheng Yuanlian acquiesced, he waved his hand and said, "You go back first." ”

Sheng Yuan didn't even want to say anything more when he heard it, so he left Nanyuan quickly. Inside the house. The other sons and daughters-in-law of the Sheng family have not yet left. The third lady sighed faintly and said: "Originally, I wanted to use the power of her Bai family to help our third master pave the way for the official road, but now it's good, it's all in vain!" ”

"Enough!" The old lady slapped the Aoki table suddenly, so frightened that everyone in the room was silent and did not dare to speak. It turned out that the most annoying thing was not the third master's family, but the old lady Sheng Sufeng. He originally thought that he had a relationship with the Bai family. He was able to rise to the top in Shengjing's official path, but he didn't expect Bai Wuye to have an accident so soon, and he was also guilty of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

How powerful is the Prime Minister, one person is above 10,000 people, if the Prime Minister knows that he has a great relationship with the Bai family this time, will this future official career still be able to rise to the top? The old lady Wu naturally knew what the old lady was thinking. He waved his hand and said to his son and daughter-in-law, "Your father is tired, so please step down." ”

Everyone had to get up and retreat one after another, and went out of Nanyuan back and forth. The eldest lord and the eldest lady walked side by side at the forefront, and the expressions on their faces never changed from the beginning to the end, always indifferent. And the expressions of the third lady and the third master were much richer, and when they left the courtyard, the third lady couldn't help but complain: "I said can you still have some brains?" Most of your official positions rely on the help of your second brother, and you said to him that your brother-in-law, do you want to be promoted in the future? ”

The third master didn't care and gouged out his ears: "His brother-in-law will be a dead man soon, and he has a fart relationship with my official road." After speaking, he swaggered forward, and the third lady asked angrily, "Where are you going?" The third old man replied without replying: "It's been a long time since I saw the cicada." ”

"You!" As soon as she heard that the third master was going to find her aunt again, the third lady's eyes were red with anger, and she was about to scold, but when she saw that the fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister were behind, she had to endure it alive, and chased after the third master with a blue face. The expressions on the faces of the fourth master and the fourth lady were even lighter, as if anything that happened in this family had nothing to do with them.

When Sheng Yuanlian walked back to the Orchid Garden, Bai Shi was already asleep in bed. Sheng Xue saw that she had just finished reading the account book in the shop, and when she saw her father coming back, she said, "Father is back, and mother is asleep." ”

Sheng Yuanlian's eyes fell on her daughter's body, compared to when Sheng Jing was in power, she now seems more sensible and well-behaved, and everyone's beautiful temperament on her body is gradually revealed. It's just that the child's innocent eyes were projected, which made Sheng Yuan a little at a loss for a while.

He walked up to his daughter, lowered his body, and gently hugged his daughter: "Aman, Daddy swears that he will definitely protect you and your mother!" Sheng Xue saw that her heart moved, could it be that her father was stimulated by the old lady? Then he asked softly, "Father, what's wrong?" Did grandfather scold you? ”

"Grandfather didn't scold Daddy, but this time, Daddy plans to follow his own heart to behave in the world." (To be continued.) )
