Qin Moyuan thought for a moment and replied, "Miss, Pei Jinxiao's trip is to congratulate our Sheng Mansion on its centenary celebration, and secondly, I'm afraid it's to explore the strength of the Sheng Mansion."
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and patted Qin Moyuan on the shoulder: "Very good, you are very smart. Now, I want you to arrange the banquet and make sure everything goes smoothly."
Qin Moyuan took the order and left, and Sheng Yunrong turned around and returned to her seat. At this time, Pei Jinxiao stood up and raised his glass to Sheng Yunrong: "Miss Sheng, I wish the Sheng Mansion's centenary celebration a complete success, and I wish the Sheng Mansion prosperity."
Sheng Yunrong smiled gently, raised her glass and clinked it with Pei Jinxiao: "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Jing, and may the friendship between our two countries last forever."
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao gradually talked more. Pei Jinxiao praised Sheng Yunrong's intelligence, and Sheng Yunrong responded to Pei Jinxiao's boldness. The two talked happily and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
At this time, Qin Moyuan walked into the banquet hall and reported to Sheng Yunrong in a low voice: "Miss, everything is arranged for the banquet, you can rest assured."
Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, expressing her satisfaction with Qin Moyuan. She turned to Pei Jinxiao and said with a smile: "Your Highness Prince Jing, you see, my adopted son Qin Moyuan is very capable."
Pei Jinxiao looked at Qin Moyuan, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Miss Sheng, your adopted son is indeed extraordinary. He will definitely become the mainstay of the Sheng Mansion in the future."
Sheng Yunrong smiled and said nothing.
Pei Jinxiao's words were both a compliment to Qin Moyuan and a hint at the strength of the Sheng Mansion.
Halfway through the banquet, Sheng Yunrong proposed holding a poetry competition to liven up the atmosphere. Pei Jinxiao readily agreed, and everyone started writing poems.
Sheng Yunrong picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and wrote:
“Everything in the world has feelings, and Sheng Mansion has been prosperous for a hundred years.
Let us sing and laugh together and wish the Sheng Mansion a long life. "
After writing, she showed the poem to everyone. Pei Jinxiao praised: "Good poem! Miss Sheng is indeed worthy of her reputation."
Qin Moyuan also picked up the pen and wrote:
"Loyalty and righteousness are passed down from generation to generation, and the Sheng family is glorious in the history books.
Today we will have a great feast, and tomorrow we will reach new heights. "
After reading it, everyone praised Qin Moyuan's talent. Sheng Yunrong was happy, knowing that the reputation of the Sheng Mansion would be even more famous because of it.
After the banquet, Sheng Yunrong, Qin Moyuan, and Pei Jinxiao returned to the inner room of Sheng Mansion. Sheng Yunrong said to Qin Moyuan: "Moyuan, you performed very well today. The glory of Sheng Mansion will depend on you in the future."
In the hall, the candlelight flickered, reflecting in her eyes, with a hint of coldness. At this moment, Qin Moyuan was standing aside, staring at her deeply, while Prince Jing Pei Jinxiao walked in slowly, with a barely perceptible solemnity between his brows.
"Miss Sheng, I heard that you were not feeling well recently, so I came here specially to see you." Pei Jinxiao's voice was low and gentle, but it could not hide the doubts in his heart.
Sheng Yunrong smiled lightly, trying to make herself look calm and unhurried: "Thank you for your concern, Prince Jing, it's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
Qin Moyuan frowned slightly. Sheng Yunrong's personality was such that she would never show weakness to others easily. Such a cover-up was clearly hiding something.
"Miss, are you really okay? Why do I always feel that something is wrong with you?" Qin Moyuan couldn't help but ask, with concern in his eyes.
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and looked into Qin Moyuan's eyes: "Moyuan, I'm fine, you don't have to worry. I'm just a little tired because I've been busy lately."
Pei Jinxiao watched the interaction between the two and couldn't help but feel suspicious. He knew Sheng Yunrong's intelligence very well. If there was nothing wrong, she would not hide her emotions so easily.
"Miss Sheng, there is something I don't understand. Please enlighten me. Why do you hide your emotions so much? Is there something you can't tell me?" Pei Jinxiao asked directly, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with panic, but she quickly regained her composure: "Prince Jing misunderstood. I have nothing to hide. I just feel that some things are better left unsaid."
Qin Moyuan's heart moved, he seemed to understand something, but he was not sure. He looked at Sheng Yunrong, with a complex emotion in his eyes.
"Miss, if you really have any difficulties, you might as well tell us. We may be able to help you solve them." Qin Moyuan said in a deep voice, with a hint of firmness in his tone.
Sheng Yunrong looked at him, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
…
"Second brother, how is your health?" Sheng Yunrong asked urgently, her eyes full of worry.
Sheng Hongxiao smiled slightly, trying to reassure her: "Don't worry, little sister, I'm just a little tired, nothing serious."
Sheng Yunrong was still worried, frowning, "But you look very bad, do you want to ask a doctor to come and take a look?"
Sheng Hongxiao patted her hand gently and said softly, "I'm really fine, you don't have to worry too much. I have asked the servants to invite the doctor from Sheng Mansion, and he will be here soon."
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall of Sheng Mansion was tense, and everyone was sitting around Sheng Hongxiao, waiting for the doctor to arrive. Sheng Yunrong looked at her second brother's face and felt more and more uneasy.
Soon, the doctor came in and took Sheng Hongxiao's pulse. Sheng Yunrong looked at the doctor nervously and prayed silently in her heart.
After a while, the doctor took the pulse and said seriously, "Second Master Sheng is in serious condition and needs to be taken care of. During this period, he should not overwork, otherwise his condition may worsen."
Sheng Yunrong felt nervous when she heard this, and looked at Sheng Hongxiao worriedly: "Second brother, you must rest well during this period of time, and you can't overwork yourself any more."
Sheng Hongxiao nodded and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, little sister, I will listen to the doctor and take good care of myself."
Everyone in the Sheng Mansion was worried when they heard the doctor's diagnosis. Sheng Yunrong was even more worried. She knew how important her second brother was to the family, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
That night, Sheng Yunrong sat alone in her room, thinking about her second brother's illness and unable to fall asleep. She picked up a pen and wrote down her worries, hoping to express her emotions.
The next morning, Sheng Yunrong came to Sheng Hongxiao's room and brought him breakfast. Sheng Hongxiao looked at her tired eyes and felt distressed: "Little sister, did you not sleep well last night?"
Sheng Yunrong forced a smile and put breakfast on the table: "It's okay, second brother, I'm just worried about your condition."
Sheng Hongxiao held her hand, his eyes firm: "Don't worry, I will recover as soon as possible and won't let you worry anymore."
Sheng Yunrong nodded, and became more determined.
On this day, Sheng Yunrong was handling family affairs. Sheng Hongxiao quietly walked behind her and looked at her tired back, feeling guilty.
He coughed softly, and Sheng Yunrong immediately turned around and looked at him in surprise: "Second brother, are you okay?"
Sheng Hongxiao smiled and nodded: "I'm much better now, I can help you share some family affairs."
Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with joy, but then she looked at him worriedly: "Second brother, are you sure your body can support it?"
Sheng Hongxiao patted his chest confidently: "Don't worry, little sister, I have almost recovered. Thank you for staying with me all this time."
