Chapter 129 Taking Care of People



Sheng Hongxiao also hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Yes, Yunrong. Did you see anything that made you unhappy when you went there this time?"

Sheng Yunrong lowered her eyes slightly, forced a bitter smile, and slowly said, "Second brother, you know that the place I went to this time was not a good place. It was a dilapidated courtyard with weeds growing everywhere, as if no one had taken care of it for many years."

Sheng Hongxiao frowned, looked at his sister with concern, and said, "Then how did you get involved with those people? They are not easy to mess with."

Sheng Yunrong sighed, her eyes revealing helplessness and fatigue: "It's nothing, actually. They just wanted to bully me because they saw that I was alone. However, I am still the eldest daughter of the Sheng family after all, so they didn't dare to go too far."

Sheng Hongxiao's eyes widened and he angrily said, "If they dare to bully you, then they are bullying our Sheng Mansion! The next time I meet them, I will make them pay the price!"

Sheng Yunrong gently patted her second brother's hand and comforted him, "Second brother, you don't have to worry about me. I'm grown up and can take care of myself. But the Sheng Mansion seems to be in turmoil recently, so you have to pay more attention."

Sheng Hongxiao nodded with a heavy face and said, "Yes, things have indeed been a bit unsettled in the Sheng Mansion recently. My mother is ill and has to take care of my father, so it's hard for them to take care of all the affairs in the Mansion at once. I'm worried."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Second brother, don't worry, I will do my best to help you. After all, I am the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, and I have to share the worries of the Sheng family."

As the two were talking, a servant came running over and said, "Second Young Master, something terrible has happened! Someone has come to the mansion claiming to be a distant relative of the Sheng family, and he wants to take the eldest daughter of the Sheng family away."

Sheng Hongxiao's face changed, and he immediately stood up and said, "Who is so bold as to dare to make trouble in our Sheng Mansion? Let's go and take a look!"

Sheng Yunrong also stood up and followed her second brother. The two of them came to the hall and saw a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes arguing with a servant.

Sheng Hongxiao stared at the man coldly and said, "Who are you? How dare you act wildly in the Sheng Mansion!"

The man's eyes widened, he looked Hong Xiao up and down, and said arrogantly: "I am a distant relative of the Sheng family, Sheng Yunrong is my cousin. Why not I come to take her back?"

Sheng Yunrong stepped forward and sneered, "Distant relative of the Sheng family? Do you know that I am the eldest daughter of the Sheng family? How can I let someone take me away casually?"

The man stared at Sheng Yunrong and said, "So what if you are the eldest daughter of the Sheng family? The Sheng family has declined. What can a woman like you do? If you follow me, at least you can live a good life."

Sheng Hongxiao was furious and was about to step forward to teach the man a lesson, but was stopped by Sheng Yunrong. She smiled at the man and said calmly: "Since you said that the Sheng Mansion is declining, then I will show you the majesty of the Sheng Mansion. Today, I will let you know that the eldest lady of the Sheng Mansion is not so easy to bully."

Sheng Yunrong turned back to her seat, picked up the brush, and splashed ink. In a moment, a beautiful painting was completed. She showed the painting to the man and said, "This is the majesty of my Sheng Mansion. If you dare to do it again, this will be your fate."

The man's eyes widened as he looked at the contents of the scroll, his face instantly turning pale. In the scroll, the man was tied to a tree, and Sheng Yunrong stood next to him with a sneer on her face. The man was covered with poisonous snakes and was struggling in pain.

Sheng Hongxiao couldn't help laughing out loud, gave a thumbs up and said, "Yunrong, you are amazing! This painting is enough to let that guy know how powerful we are."

Sheng Yunrong put away the scroll, looked at the man, and said, "If you dare to offend my Sheng Mansion again, this painting will be your end. Now, you can get out."

The man turned pale with fright, apologized repeatedly, and left Sheng Mansion in a hurry.

Sheng Hongxiao patted his sister on the shoulder and said approvingly: "Yunrong, you have really grown up and can stand on your own. I feel more at ease with you in the Sheng Mansion."

Sheng Yunrong opened the door, and Qin Huaiyu was caught off guard and almost fell down.

Seeing her daughter Qin Huaiyu almost fall, Sheng Yunrong reached out and held her arm, scolding in a low voice: "Yu'er, why are you so careless?" Qin Huaiyu was still in shock, her face was pale, and she forced a smile: "Mother, I'm fine, it's just that I didn't pay attention just now, so..."

Sheng Yunrong looked at her daughter with concern in her eyes. She gently patted Qin Huaiyu's shoulder and said, "Since everything is fine, go in. It's windy outside, be careful not to catch a cold."

The two walked into the hall of Qin's mansion together. The hall of Qin's mansion was magnificent, with carved beams and painted rafters, and magnificent gold and jade. As soon as Sheng Yunrong and Qin Huaiyu sat down, a servant brought tea.

Sheng Yunrong picked up the teacup, took a sip, then put it down, looked at Qin Huaiyu, and said, "Yu'er, do you know why I asked you to come back?"

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and looked at his mother in confusion.

Sheng Yunrong sighed and said, "Your father has been unwell recently. I am worried about him, so I asked you to come back. As his daughter, you should know how to take care of him."

After hearing this, Qin Huaiyu's face became solemn and she nodded silently.

Sheng Yunrong looked at her daughter, her eyes full of expectation. She hoped that her daughter could take on the responsibility of taking care of her father.

In the next few days, Qin Huaiyu accompanied Sheng Yunrong to take care of her father. She got up early and went to bed late every day, serving tea and water without any complaints. Sheng Yunrong looked at her daughter's back and was deeply moved.

One afternoon, Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Huaiyu who was taking care of her father and couldn't help asking, "Yu'er, do you think this kind of life is hard?"

Qin Huaiyu raised his head, looked at his mother, smiled slightly, and said, "Mother, I don't feel tired. As long as father can recover, I am willing to do anything."

After hearing this, Sheng Yunrong felt a warm current in her heart. She gently held Qin Huaiyu's hand and said, "Yu'er, you have really grown up."

In the evening, Sheng Yunrong called Qin Huaiyu to her side. She looked at her daughter and said, "Yu'er, your father has gotten better. You can go back."

After Qin Huaiyu heard this, she felt disappointed, but she still forced a smile and said, "Mother, I understand."

Sheng Yunrong reached out her hand in time and supported Qin Huaiyu steadily. A hint of reproach flashed across her eyes, and then turned into deep worry. She gently closed the door, turned around and took Qin Huaiyu into the inner room.

"Yu'er, what happened to you? You were in such a hurry that you almost fell down. Do you know how dangerous it is?" There was a slight tremor in Sheng Yunrong's voice. She sat on the edge of the bed and motioned Qin Huaiyu to sit down as well.

Qin Huaiyu's face was slightly pale. She sat beside her mother with her head lowered. Her fingers unconsciously fiddled with the corner of her clothes. Her voice was trembling a little: "Mother, I... I saw a figure in the garden. It seemed to be... seemed to be that person."

Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly. She gently stroked her daughter's hair, with concern in her eyes: "That person? You mean..."
