Sheng Yunrong lowered her eyes slightly, thinking secretly in her heart. She knew that her second brother Sheng Hongxiao had a sharp gaze and could always see through people's hearts. She slowly raised her head and tried to keep her tone calm: "Second brother, you are joking. His Majesty and the Queen dote on me very much. How can you doubt me?"

Sheng Hongxiao smiled lightly, but his eyes revealed a trace of concern: "Rong'er, don't you understand? In this deep palace, any disturbance may cause an uproar. You have such a special ability. If others know about it, I'm afraid it will cause endless troubles."

Sheng Yunrong bit her lip lightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Don't worry, second brother, I know the limits. Besides, I will act carefully and won't let anyone discover my secret."

Sheng Hongxiao nodded, and the worry in his eyes eased a little. He looked at the moonlight outside the window and suddenly changed the subject: "Rong'er, what do you think of the Sheng family?"

Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned. She didn't expect her second brother to ask this question. She thought for a moment and said slowly: "In the Sheng family, I saw power and glory, and also saw countless stories and legends. But most importantly, I saw the warmth of family."

Sheng Hongxiao's eyes flashed with relief, and he patted Sheng Yunrong's hand: "Okay, as long as you can understand this, then no matter what happens in the future, you must remember that the Sheng family will always be your strongest backing."

The atmosphere between the two became warm and harmonious. At this time, Sheng Wan'er, the eldest daughter of the Sheng Mansion, walked in. She looked at Sheng Hongxiao and Sheng Yunrong and said with a smile: "Second brother, Rong'er, what are you whispering about here?"

Sheng Hongxiao smiled slightly and said, "We are talking about the future of the Sheng family and Rong'er's growth."

Sheng Wan'er widened her eyes and looked at Sheng Yunrong curiously: "Rong'er, my second brother said that you have some special ability? What is it?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly. She knew she couldn't tell the truth at this time, so she made up a story: "It's nothing, actually. I just learned some fortune-telling skills from a sorcerer when I was a child."

Sheng Wan'er said in disappointment, but she obviously didn't believe this explanation. She looked at Sheng Yunrong, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes: "Rong'er, have you really only learned fortune-telling?"

Sheng Yunrong's heart tightened. Sheng Wan'er was a smart woman. If she saw through the clues, it would be even more troublesome. She smiled and said, "Of course it's true. My second brother was also there and can testify."

Sheng Hongxiao nodded and said, "Yes, Wan'er, what Rong'er said is true."

Sheng Wan'er sighed softly. She knew her sister must have many secrets, but she also understood that everyone has their own privacy. She turned to Sheng Hongxiao and said, "Second brother, do you think Rong'er's ability is useful?"

Sheng Hongxiao smiled slightly and said, "Of course it is useful. In this chaotic world, any special ability can be the key to turning the tide."

Sheng Wan'er's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she looked at Sheng Yunrong: "Rong'er, can you help me calculate what my future husband will look like?"

Sheng Yunrong couldn't help laughing. She looked at Sheng Wan'er and said, "I can't calculate this. No one can predict the relationship."

Sheng Wan'er was a little disappointed, but she still accepted the answer with a smile. She looked at Sheng Hongxiao and Sheng Yunrong and said, "Then let's stop here tonight. I still have to go and pay my respects to my mother."

Sheng Hongxiao and Sheng Yunrong nodded, and the three of them left the room together. Walking in the night, Sheng Yunrong secretly sighed in her heart that everyone in the Sheng family was not an easy person to deal with.

…

Xiang Zhu became nervous when he thought of how cruel and ruthless Madam Qin was.

Xiang Zhu nervously squeezed the silk handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes unconsciously drifted to Old Lady Qin in the distance. Sheng Yunrong noticed her uneasiness, patted her hand gently, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Old Madam Qin slowly walked into the inner room, her eyes as cold as ice, and fell on Sheng Yunrong and Xiang Zhu. She was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, and her hair was full of jewels, which made her look noble and majestic. Sheng Yunrong immediately stood up and bowed respectfully: "Mother, you are here."

Madam Qin nodded slightly, her tone indifferent: "I heard that you have something going on here, so I came to see you."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Mother is worried and confused, but it's actually nothing serious. It's just that Xiang Zhu is a little nervous, and I'm comforting her."

Madam Qin glanced at Xiang Zhu, her eyes revealing a hint of sharpness: "Why are you so nervous? Did you do something wrong?"

Xiang Zhu turned pale with fear, knelt down hurriedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Madam, I have done nothing wrong, but... I am a little scared when I see your majesty."

Madam Qin snorted coldly and said, "Get up. Since you haven't done anything wrong, why should you be afraid? However, if you do something wrong in my Qin Mansion, it won't be as simple as being afraid."

Xiang Zhu stood up tremblingly, feeling increasingly nervous. Sheng Yunrong saw this and tried to smooth things over: "Mother, Xiang Zhu is a sensible child. She is just a little nervous because it is her first time meeting you. Please don't blame her."

Madam Qin glared at Sheng Yunrong, her tone still cold and hard: "I am not blaming her, I am just reminding her that she must abide by the rules in the Qin Mansion."

Sheng Yunrong sighed softly and said, "Mother is right. I will definitely discipline Xiang Zhu strictly and make her abide by the rules of the Qin Mansion."

Madam Qin turned to look at Sheng Yunrong, her eyes revealing a trace of scrutiny: "Have you had any troubles recently?"

Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Madam Qin would ask so directly. She thought for a moment and said, "Mother, I have been thinking about how to better manage the Qin Mansion and make it harmonious and free of disputes."

Madam Qin smiled and said, "I am glad that you think so. However, managing a mansion is not easy, especially for a large family like the Qin Mansion. You must learn to feel every corner and every detail with your heart."

Sheng Yunrong nodded and said, "I will remember what my mother taught me."

At this time, Xiang Zhu couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Madam, there is something I don't understand, and I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."

Madam Qin glanced at her and said, "Go ahead, I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

Xiang Zhu said cautiously: "I feel that the old lady is too harsh on the servants. Will it make them feel scared and be detrimental to management?"

Madam Qin smiled and said, "You asked a good question. The reason why I am strict is because I know that only in this way can the servants be in awe and dare not break the rules. And the harmony of a mansion is built on rules."

Sheng Yunrong understood the intention of Old Madam Qin. She gently patted Xiang Zhu on the shoulder and said, "Xiang Zhu, don't worry. Old Madam did this for the long-term peace of the Qin Mansion. You also have to learn to understand."

Xiang Zhu nodded. Although he felt a little scared, he also understood Madam Qin's painstaking efforts.
