Li Zhenyi's words seemed aggressive, and the deeper meaning behind them was even more frightening the more one thought about it.
She usually likes to socialize, and Mrs. Zhu had only seen her from a distance a few times before. She thought she was a fool and easy to manipulate, but she didn't expect her to be so reasonable and tolerant when she got angry.
Mrs. Zhu responded to this, but now she was making a fuss in the Sheng family mansion under the sun.
Even the old man and father-in-law have to show great respect to the Sheng family!
What was wrong with her that she suddenly said something so tactful?
If someone spreads this out, will her dignified image, which she has worked so hard to build for many years, be completely ruined?
Lu suppressed her anger and tried to force a smile at Li Zhenyi:
"Hehe... Madam, please forgive me for being rude. How do you think... should we handle this matter?"
"I think it's very good." Li Zhenyi also smiled with a fake smile and pulled the corner of his mouth.
I have figured out Lu's nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, so I said coldly:
"But marriage is a big deal, don't take it lightly. I'll go back and tell our master, and have him talk to the old lady and the eldest master of the Zhu family privately. If there's no objection, then I'll send the matchmaker to the door."
"Since they are in love with each other, we, as parents, will naturally be the ones who know how to deal with them. Don't you think so, Mrs. Zhu?"
Li Zhenyi directly asked the old man of the Sheng family to go to the old man of the Zhu family to inform him, which clearly showed that she did not trust her.
The last sentence was even more threatening, telling her not to do anything out of line. It was as if Mrs. Zhu was not given any face at all.
But Mrs. Lu didn't dare to be tough at all, and she could only hold back her anger. She kept praising him, saying that Mrs. Sheng's suggestion was really wrong.
…
The Zhu family's farce has come to a temporary end.
After everyone left, Li Zhenyi asked Sheng Tiance what happened.
The boy blushed and hesitated for a long time before explaining the matter clearly.
He said that the two had met several times in the capital, and he had an impression of this outstanding Third Miss. When he went to the flower viewing banquet that day, he noticed that everyone in the mansion was targeting her openly or secretly.
He kept an eye on the other party, wanting to see what the other party would do. Then, by some strange coincidence, he saved the person...
"Mother, I don't know why. At that time, I was thinking that it would be good if I was the one who finally brought her out of the sea of suffering. Then... that... she said she was also happy with her son."
Li Zhenyi was delighted when she heard this, and said that there really is always someone who can conquer someone else.
If Zhu Jianing hadn't been there, she would probably have seen this brat who always liked to act like an old man so helpless.
The Sheng family was deeply influenced by Xiao Xier, and they only cared about whether the two really loved each other. Naturally, they had nothing to say about the two of them.
It’s just that the eldest and second child are both single now, so we should take care of the younger one first.
In order to prevent the Lu family from doing something bad to Zhu Jianing behind his back, the two elders communicated with each other and then exchanged tokens privately.
They also secretly sent someone to the Zhu Mansion to look after her, under the pretext of protecting the future daughter-in-law of the Sheng family.
…
It was midsummer, and the Sheng family held two weddings in succession for the eldest and second sons.
According to the customs of Southern Qi, an orphan like Sister Manyin, whose entire family was wiped out and who had no relatives to rely on, should find an elder to be her adoptive father and move out of his house.
But she had heard many stories of independent women from Xiao Xier, and she had earned some money from helping Qingyun Pavilion with accounting in the past two years. Naturally, she might have wronged herself just to shut others up.
She bought a small courtyard and established a female household. On the wedding day, she went straight out of her own courtyard and left the house. When she worshipped in the hall, she only placed her mother's tablet.
This move naturally caused a small disturbance in the whole county.
Although they didn't dare to do anything openly because of the prestige of the Sheng family, they spoke ill of her in private. Feng Manyin just smiled indifferently after knowing this.
Always remember what Xiao Xier said, people live only for their own happiness. As for those other people... who cares!
With the eldest brother's wedding in the lead, the Sheng family obviously had more experience in preparing for the second brother's wedding. They were much more agile.
It was a very lively time, with guests coming in high spirits and leaving in high spirits. People in the surrounding streets seemed to be infected by the brisk sounds of gongs and drums, and all had smiles on their faces.
Only Old Man Zhang, after sending his granddaughter out, sat sullenly leaning against a big tree in the back garden, drinking.
What the hell, now that little girl is married, there's no one to entertain her old man anymore.
In the future, if I refine a new poison, it will taste good if I find someone to taste it; if I research a new skill, there will be no one to serve as a living target...
Now that this naughty boy is gone, who else can climb onto his roof and howl like a ghost in the middle of the night? Steal the toilet paper while he is squatting, so that he can have fun in the toilet...
"Wuwu... There is no more. From now on, no one will be as willing to spend time and thought for my old man as Lingfei..."
Old man Zhang sniffed his rosacea and drank half a jar of wine as if to vent his anger.
Sheng Nancy, who was passing by the eaves, stumbled when she heard his complaints. For a moment, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry for him.
…
The summer, which was considered warm, passed in a flash, and the extreme cold weather in the last year was much more severe than the previous two years.
Fortunately, they had accumulated experience in dealing with natural disasters in the previous two years, and they finally got through the third winter safely.
In the past two years, due to natural disasters, Brother Xiaohai has not returned to Nanyang County.
Most of the time, Sheng Nanxi had nothing to do, so she would teleport over to help him check on his body and bring him some supplies to resist the severe cold.
It should be said that this kid is indeed favored by heaven. Not long ago, by chance, he awakened the water and wood abilities.
Originally, Sheng Nanxi was still thinking about how to help him control his ability to stabilize his body. Unfortunately, he also had a healing power, so he never lost control.
Although the several supernatural powers are very weak, they can still be used to scare people by pretending to be a charlatan, setting off explosives from a distance, and making plants bloom in spring in different seasons.
Many powerful people who knew the truth were frightened by him and lost a lot in momentum at the beginning.
Xiao Zhengtai has been staying in Qinghe County for the past two years. After clearing out all the remnants of the Bai family, he succeeded his elderly grandfather and became the new head of the Bai family.
This is not known, the so-called Qinghe Bai Family is actually the last retreat left by Queen Ningde for her descendants.
Because of this, there are a lot of modern books in the fourth floor of the Bai family's library. It must be for this reason that the man in the bamboo hat chose Bai Ci as a breakthrough point and faked his identity.
With the help of the Bai family, the little boy's power is booming.
Finally, four years after the natural disaster, when the various forces in Beichen were fighting to the death, he took action to end the internal strife. He personally killed the Queen Mother Beichen and avenged Concubine Yi Gui, who raised him.
In the second year, the seventeen-year-old Gu Cheng ascended the throne with the support of his cronies and changed the country's name to "Guo Xi". Six years earlier than the original book, the civil turmoil in Beichen ended.
Of course, he did not do it as the Prince of Beichen. He used the heirloom seal of the Xiaoqian Kingdom, a unified dynasty from hundreds of years ago, and rebuilt the Xiaoqian Kingdom as the seventeenth-generation grandson of Queen Ningde.
When this happened, all parties were shocked.
After all, the lands of the kings all belonged to Xiao Qian before. No one had a scepter of succession, so everyone would criticize the other for being unorthodox.
Suddenly, a person holding a seal appeared and said directly that the King of Xiling, King Nanzhan, and all the big and small forces in the territory of Southern Qi were all fakes? !
The dignitaries from all sides were so angry that their faces turned green. On the one hand, they spread the word in the country that Xiao Qian was full of nonsense, and on the other hand, they stepped up their spy investigations and prohibited people from discussing such "untrue words".
No one expected that this was just the first step in Gu's plan.
Xiao Qian's country was thriving under the reforms of the new generation of monarchs, but the Southern Qi country was in turmoil when it faced natural disasters. Except for the counties in Tangyuan County that were desperately protected by the Sheng family, the rest of the people could be said to be living in peace.
In order to protect himself, Prime Minister He used all the fake tactics and righteousness in the past. He took away all the food and supplies that could be dispatched nearby and directly found a small county town to retreat to.
It is said that there was a small incident before the natural disaster the following year. After the cloaked man and his remnants were cleared out by the Sheng family, Qi Xian, who was beside He Huaiyuan, naturally disappeared.
Soon after, many people in He Huaiyuan's house began to suffer from dizziness and vertigo, and he himself also suffered from frequent headaches and itchy teeth when he chewed on the table legs.
After checking, we found out that all the sick people had taken the tonic pills that Qi Xian gave them!
