Chapter 154
Xiaoping quickly walked behind Aunt Feng and stretched out her hands to massage her shoulders. While massaging Aunt Feng's shoulders, he softly comforted her, "Aunt, calm down first and calm down. If you go to Madam in such a rage, what if you accidentally reveal any flaws and Madam notices any clues? Wouldn't it be easy for Madam to catch you?"
Then, Xiaoping seemed to have thought of something? The hands that were rubbing shoulders paused slightly, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, and he asked in a low voice: "Aunt, what if that man is just Sixth Miss's good friend? What if there is no adultery between them, what should we do?"
When Aunt Feng heard this, her face suddenly darkened. She frowned and thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She slowly sat down on the chair, picked up a cup of hot tea on the table, took a sip, and felt the warmth and aroma of the tea. A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Humph, no matter whether this is true or not, we have to make it true. I want to see how the Sixth Miss, who has lost her innocence, can marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
She paused, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and continued, "There are only a few girls in the mansion. Without the Sixth Girl, it should be the turn of Sister Yao and Sister Feng! As long as one of them can cling to the big tree of the Crown Prince, they will be blessed in the future."
Xiao Ping was shocked when she heard this, but she couldn't help but said worriedly: "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gay! I'm afraid the girl will be wronged if she marries him!"
Aunt Feng disagreed and sneered, "Humph, so what? Even if the Crown Prince is gay, he is still the future emperor. As long as Sister Yao or Sister Feng can become the Crown Prince's concubine, they will be the Imperial Consort in the future, enjoying endless wealth and glory. Besides, if we use some tricks, once they give birth to a child, their status will naturally be secure."
Xiao Ping felt that there was some truth in this, but she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "But if this happens, won't the girl be a widow?"
When Aunt Feng heard this, her eyes widened and she glared at Xiao Ping fiercely, cursing unceremoniously, "Fool! There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds in this world! It's already very good to be able to take care of one of them.
Besides, can a man’s feelings be relied upon? Take the master for example! When he doted on Aunt Li the most, he later took in two young concubines. What is love? The word "love" is a huge joke when placed in a large mansion. It is totally unreliable. Do you still expect those men to be loyal to you, stay with you for the rest of their lives, and support you in everything?
The master loved Aunt Li so much, but in the end, Aunt Li was still bullied and even the sixth girl was taken away to be raised by the mistress. If the master really loved them both, how could he turn a blind eye to this matter and completely ignore it? ”
Xiao Ping was so frightened by Aunt Feng's scolding that she dared not say anything and could only stand aside silently. Then she could not help but say: "Aunt, marriages between noble families, especially marriages with the royal family, are all about casting a wide net. Because no one knows who will sit in that position in the end. Only by casting a wide net can the glory of the entire family be preserved.
But I heard that Madam intends to match up the Sixth Miss with the Crown Prince, and the Seventh Miss with the Third Prince. The wives of the other princes will choose women of the right age from the Second Master and the Third Master for marriage, and they don’t care about our Sister Feng and Sister Yao at all..."
Before Xiao Ping finished speaking, Aunt Feng slapped the small table on the low couch and said with a bad look on her face: "Let's go to the Madam later..."

Pinxianglou
As the servant led Sheng Yixuan and Yin Zijin to the second floor, a young man came to greet them. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, had a handsome face and a smile on his lips, making people feel like spring breeze.
When Sheng Yiming saw him coming, he showed a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Hello, brother, how come you have time to come to Pinxianglou today? Is this Miss Yin Liu?"
Sheng Yixuan smiled, nodded and said, "Isn't this for the purpose of accompanying the beauty?" After that, he looked at Yin Zijin, his eyes full of tenderness and pampering.
Sheng Yiming also followed his brother's gaze. He looked at the woman in front of him, who was wearing a light blue dress with a white ribbon tied around her waist, outlining her soft and slender waist. He was wearing a thick black cloak, which was obviously Sheng Yixuan's.
Yin Zijin had long, shiny black hair, casually tied into a bun. A few strands of hair fell beside her fair cheeks, making her look more gentle and elegant.
The two looked at each other, then looked away tacitly.
Yin Zijin quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to the master."
Sheng Yiming said quickly: "Okay, stop standing. I've booked a good private room. Let's go in together!" As he said that, he stepped aside to make way and gestured for invitation.
Sheng Yixuan smiled and nodded, took Yin Zijin's hand, and walked towards the private room together.
Sheng Yiming narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at the hands that the two people were quietly holding. There was an indescribable light flashing in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile, but this smile carried a hint of complex emotions that made it difficult to grasp. His steps became a little heavy, as if there was an invisible force preventing him from moving forward easily.
Yin Zijin noticed that Sheng Yiming hadn't caught up with her, so she stopped, turned around, and looked at Sheng Yiming in confusion: "What's wrong with you, Master? Why are you so flustered?"
Sheng Yiming came back to his senses when he heard Yin Zijin's call. He quickly shook his head, trying to cover up his distraction.
