"Moyuan, I know what you mean, but I'm really fine. You don't have to worry about me." Sheng Yunrong forced a smile, trying to reassure Qin Moyuan.
Pei Jinxiao still refused to let go: "Miss Sheng, it's not that I don't trust you, but this matter is of great importance, so I have to be careful. Please tell me the truth."
This matter could not be concealed after all. She took a deep breath and looked at Pei Jinxiao firmly: "Prince Jing, to be honest, I did encounter some troubles. Recently, I learned that someone in the Sheng Mansion secretly colluded with outsiders and wanted to usurp the family business of the Sheng Mansion."
Pei Jinxiao and Qin Moyuan's expressions changed at the same time. They didn't expect Sheng Yunrong to encounter such a problem.
"Miss, don't worry, we will definitely help you solve this problem." Qin Moyuan said in a deep voice, with a determined light in his eyes.
Pei Jinxiao also nodded: "Miss Sheng, don't worry, I will fully support you and help you solve the crisis of Sheng Mansion."
Sheng Hongxiao coughed lightly a few times, but a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth. He gently patted the back of Sheng Yunrong's hand, trying to comfort her: "Don't worry, little sister, it's just a cold, it's nothing serious."
Sheng Yunrong was still worried, she stood up, walked to Sheng Hongxiao's bed, and carefully observed his face. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes showed concern that could not be ignored.
"Second brother, you don't look well." Sheng Yunrong said in a low voice.
Sheng Hongxiao smiled slightly, trying to hide his fatigue: "I'm just a little tired, just take a rest."
At this time, the housekeeper of the Sheng Mansion came in, holding a bowl of freshly boiled medicine in his hand. He carefully placed the bowl on the table beside the bed and said softly, "Second Young Master, the medicine is ready. Please take it."
Sheng Hongxiao nodded slightly, and the housekeeper immediately withdrew. Sheng Yunrong picked up the medicine bowl, gently handed it to Sheng Hongxiao's lips, and said with concern: "Second brother, you still have to drink the medicine, otherwise your condition will get worse."
Sheng Hongxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes. He took the medicine bowl and drank it slowly. The bitterness of the medicine spread on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't care, instead he smiled.
"Little sister, you really look more and more like our mother." Sheng Hongxiao said softly.
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, she knew that this was her second brother's recognition of her. She gently put down the medicine bowl, sat by the bed, and chatted with Sheng Hongxiao about family matters.
"Second brother, what have you been busy with recently? I heard that the Sheng family's business is getting better and better." Sheng Yunrong asked.
Sheng Hongxiao nodded, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: "Yes, business has been good recently. I am planning to expand the scale of the business and take the Sheng family's industry to a higher level."
A trace of worry flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes: "Second brother, no matter how important business is, it is not as important as your health. You must take good care of yourself."
Sheng Hongxiao gently patted Sheng Yunrong's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little sister, I will be fine. The Sheng family still needs me in the future."
As the two were talking, the door of Sheng Mansion was suddenly pushed open, and a figure hurriedly walked in. It was the third son of Sheng Family, Sheng Yunyan.
"Second brother, how are you? I heard from the servants that you were sick, so I hurried back." Sheng Yunyan said anxiously.
Sheng Hongxiao smiled slightly, looking at his younger brother, a warm feeling welled up in his heart: "It's okay, third brother, I just caught a cold."
Sheng Yunrong also stood up and said to Sheng Yunyan, "Third brother, please sit down first. I'll pour you a cup of tea."
After Sheng Yunyan sat down, Sheng Yunrong handed him a cup of hot tea, then turned to look at Sheng Hongxiao: "Second brother, what do you think? Do you need me to prepare anything special?"
Sheng Hongxiao shook his head: "No, as long as you are by my side, I feel much better."
"That's good." Sheng Yunrong breathed a sigh of relief. She gently brushed away the dust on her lapels, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
At this time, in the meeting hall of Sheng Mansion, the mahogany furniture exuded a faint fragrance, and the warm yellow light sprinkled on everyone's face, reflecting different expressions. Sheng Yunrong sat in the main seat, with a sharp gaze, scanning everyone present.
"Qin Moyuan, what do you think about this?" Sheng Yunrong turned her head and looked at her adopted son beside her. Qin Moyuan, the right-hand man of the Sheng family, was always calm and reliable.
Qin Moyuan raised his head, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke: "Miss, this matter is very serious. As far as I know, Prince Jing Pei Jinxiao came to Sheng Mansion this time for unknown purposes. We have to be on guard."
Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in her eyes: "You are right. Pei Jinxiao is a very cunning man, we must not take him lightly. However, since he dared to come to the Sheng Mansion, he must have something to rely on."
At this time, Prince Jing Pei Jinxiao walked out from behind the screen. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a calm expression, as if everything was under control.
"Miss Sheng, Qin Moyuan, are you talking about me?" Pei Jinxiao's voice was calm and deep, making it impossible to peek into his heart.
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Prince Jing misunderstood, we were just discussing trivial matters in Sheng Mansion. Prince Jing's presence is a great honor to Sheng Mansion."
Pei Jinxiao smiled gently, with a sharp look in his eyes: "Miss Sheng, thank you for your praise. I came here this time to ask you for a favor."
Sheng Yunrong raised her eyebrows and signaled Qin Moyuan to pour tea for Pei Jinxiao.
"Please speak, Prince Jing." Sheng Yunrong picked up the teacup and asked softly.
Pei Jinxiao pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "There is trouble on our borders and foreign invaders are harassing us. I want to borrow the power of Sheng Mansion to jointly resist the foreign enemies."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became tense. Sheng Yunrong put down the teacup, and a trace of seriousness flashed in her eyes: "Prince Jing, although the Sheng Mansion is not an official appointed by the court, when the country is in trouble, the Sheng Mansion will definitely go all out. However, this matter is not trivial, I need to discuss it with Qin Moyuan before making a decision."
Pei Jinxiao nodded slightly to show his understanding: "Miss Sheng has considered everything. I will wait for good news."
"Qin Moyuan, we have decided to assist Prince Jing and jointly resist foreign enemies. But this matter must not be made public to avoid causing unnecessary trouble." Sheng Yunrong made the decision.
Qin Moyuan took the order and immediately made arrangements. The elite soldiers and generals of Sheng Mansion were dispatched to secretly support the front line.
A few days later, in the secret room of Sheng Mansion, Sheng Yunrong and Qin Moyuan were discussing countermeasures.
"Miss, the fighting situation on the front line is tense. How should we respond?" Qin Moyuan frowned with a serious expression.
Sheng Yunrong pondered for a moment, with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "Qin Moyuan, we can't wait any longer. We can't trust Prince Jing Pei Jinxiao so easily. I decided to go to the front line in person to find out what's going on."
Qin Moyuan was shocked: "Miss, this is too dangerous."
Sheng Yunrong smiled gently: "Qin Moyuan, come with me. The safety of the Sheng Mansion is in your hands."
Qin Moyuan accepted the order and the two of them set off immediately.
"Miss Sheng, Qin Moyuan, you are finally here." Pei Jinxiao looked at them, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao coldly: "Prince Jing, the war is so urgent, what other conspiracies do you have?"
Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly: "Miss Sheng has misunderstood, I have no ill intentions, I just want to borrow the power of the Sheng Mansion to jointly resist foreign enemies."
