At this moment, Xu Haiying's voice could no longer be heard: "No... No way... Zhihuan is the eldest grandson of your Sheng family's generation. He is destined to inherit the family. Would the old man be so foolish as to marry him to the daughter of a medical craftsman?"
Sheng Anzhang was also having a headache, and he couldn't help but press his temples and said, "If it were any other time, even if the old man was angry, he probably wouldn't really force Zhihuan to marry Xie Mingzhu, but this time is different."
He sighed, "I just found out too. The old man of the Xie family is ill and almost died. He's been thinking about him these past few days. Zhihuan has walked into his trap."
To talk about the origins of the Sheng and Xie families, we have to go back several generations.
The Xie family's ancestors were imperial physicians, and their family has been practicing medicine for generations, making them one of the most prominent medical families in Kyoto.
Most of the ancestors of the Sheng family served in the military, and only started to develop business in the past hundred years.
But because of their ancestors, the Sheng family has an unwritten rule - every member of the Sheng family must enter the Sheng family's training base for three years before reaching adulthood.
Among them, the family heirs are required to stay in the training base for at least one month every year.
Where there is training, there will be exercises, combat, and missions, which will also lead to injuries and illnesses.
This is when we need people from the Xie family.
Since the generation of Mr. Sheng’s grandfather, people from the Xie family have been stationed at the Sheng family’s training base.
By the time of Mr. Sheng's generation, even though there was a big difference in status, the two families could indeed be considered old friends.
Especially when Mr. Sheng was young, he acted very wildly and liked to take the lead in any mission. This resulted in him suffering a minor injury every three days, a major injury every five days, and even being in danger of his life from time to time.
And every time he was rescued by Mr. Xie.
The two men were of similar age and had very different personalities, but they just got along inexplicably and became close friends after a few interactions.
Now that the Xie family is in decline and Mr. Xie is nearly dead, Mr. Sheng has been secretly considering a marriage between the two families.
He hadn't decided on a candidate yet, but as soon as Sheng Zhihuan's video appeared, the old man made the decision on the spot: they have deep feelings for each other and are in love with each other, great, they're the ones!
Sheng Anzhang vomited so much that he almost vomited blood.
But no matter how much he talked, he couldn't get the old man to change his mind. How frustrating!
After listening to her husband's explanation of the whole process, Xu Haiying finally became really anxious: "Then...what should we do now? Xie Mingzhu may be pretty, but her family background is there. If I really marry someone like her, let alone being able to help Shang Zhihuan, it would be good if she doesn't hold him back!"
Sheng Anzhang: "What else can I do? Why don't you tell Dad?"
Xu Haiying's expression froze and she stopped talking.
Everyone in the Sheng family knows that Old Master Sheng is a complete tyrant. Once he makes a decision, almost no one can make him change his mind.
Even Sheng Anzhang's words as a son are useless, so her words as a daughter-in-law are even more useless!
What should I do now?
Sheng Anzhang glanced at the two of them, thought for a moment, and said, "It's not completely impossible."
The two of them looked towards him immediately.
Sheng Anzhang raised two fingers and said, "Two ways."
"First, ask Sheng Shijing or the one from Tianqiongyuan for help. These two are the only two people in the entire Sheng family who can make the old man change his mind."
"no!"
"no!"
Xu Haiying and her son objected without hesitation.
Sheng Anzhang was actually not happy about it either.
Of these two, one was living a life of drunkenness and dreams, not knowing what day it was; the other was cold and heartless, and had always been at odds with their family. He couldn't bring himself to beg them for help.
Then forget it.
Let’s talk about the second one.
A calculating look flashed across Sheng Anzhang's eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "Then there's only one way left, and that's to let the Xie family take the initiative to refuse."
"The old man wants to take care of the Xie family, but what if the Xie family doesn't accept it? Then it has nothing to do with us, right?"
That's true, but: "Our Sheng family is one of the four major families in Kyoto. Xie Mingzhu has tried every possible way to get close to our Zhihuan. Now that the opportunity has come, how could they be willing to refuse?!"
Sheng Anzhang thought the same, but there was nothing he could do. "No matter how difficult it is, I can still try. It's better than confronting the old man and completely angering him, right?"
That’s true.
Xu Haiying was speechless.
Sheng Anzhang pressed his temple again and said, "Alright, we have to hurry up on this. Let's do this while it's still early. Zhihuan..."
Sheng Anzhang was speaking when he was interrupted by Sheng Zhihuan.
He touched his abdomen, which was still aching. A cold look flashed across his eyes. "Compared to forcing the Xie family to refuse, I have a better way."
Sheng Anzhang and Xu Haiying's eyes lit up and they asked at the same time, "What's the solution?"
Two figures, equally stunning yet making him grit his teeth at the mere thought of them, flashed through his mind. Sheng Zhihuan's eyes were fierce: "Change people!"
*
Sheng Shijing and Xie Xihe had no idea that someone had already plotted against them. At this moment, Sheng Shijing's nanny car had just parked in the hospital's underground garage.
They both got out of the car at the same time.
Xie Xihe looked at the two large food boxes in Sheng Shijing's hands, speechless for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Sheng Shijing glanced at her fair little face, a smile in his eyes: "Seeing you were sleeping soundly, I couldn't bear it."
Xie Xihe's face turned red in an instant.
