Chapter 10 The Sheng Family's Daughter Grows Up

The mother and daughter were talking in whispers with great joy.

When Sheng Hong was about to send Zhao Han out of the house, Lin Qinshuang couldn't wait to send someone to invite him over.

Sheng Hong knew that what he did today made Wang Ruofu very dissatisfied.

If he is not appeased, he might turn the house upside down tomorrow and might even cause trouble to the Wang family.

After sighing lightly, Sheng Hong went straight to Wang Ruofu's yard.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Hualan's gentle and peaceful smile, which looked even brighter and more charming under the candlelight.

I can't help but sigh in my heart: The Sheng family has a daughter who has grown up, and it's hard to give up her natural beauty!

"What are you guys talking about? You look so happy."

As he spoke, Sheng Hong looked at them with a smile.

When Wang Ruofu heard this, the smile on her face disappeared immediately. She snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Hua Lan tugged at her sleeve, and Yingying stood up and said, "Daddy, you two can chat first. I'll take my leave."

"No, you don't have to go. I have something to tell you."

"I have just arranged your marriage with Zhao Han. He is a considerate man, and there are no mothers-in-law or sisters-in-law at home to take care of. You will not be wronged in the future."

Hua Lan was stunned for a moment. She lowered her eyes and twisted the handkerchief with her slender white fingers.

"My daughter always listens to you, Dad. You have a keen eye, and the person you choose will never be wrong."

Sheng Hong was pleased to see her so sensible and said gently, "When Zhao Han passes the imperial examination, I will definitely give you a grand wedding."

Hua Lan smiled and nodded obediently.

After she left, Sheng Hong turned his attention to Wang Ruofu.

"Hua'er's marriage will require your careful attention."

Wang Ruofu rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically, "Your Sheng family is like a dragon in the sky, and you are just like mud under your feet!"

"Whatever else you need me to do, leave it all to that vixen. Anyway, I only trust her words."

Sheng Hong was choked by her, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead.

But knowing he was in the wrong, he patiently said, "What are you talking about? I'm thinking about the overall situation today. Why make such a fuss over such a small matter?"

"Now that we've caught the thief, the Wei family will just compensate us generously in the future."

"Hua'er's marriage concerns the reputation of the Sheng family, so naturally you, the eldest lady, need to take charge."

"I bought a lot of land and shops in Bianjing a few years ago. Let's give them all to Hua'er as a dowry."

Wang Ruofu glanced at Sheng Hong and saw that he had surrendered. Then she said in a serious tone, "Don't worry, my lord. I will make sure Hua'er gets married in a grand ceremony and will not bring shame to our Sheng family."

When the eldest daughter gets married, the more dowry the better, and the more grand the ceremony, the better.

It is not only beneficial for the future marriage of other brothers and sisters, but also a good opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the family.

Seeing her attitude soften, Sheng Hong smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."

Wang Ruofu's temper came and went quickly. She stood up and took off Sheng Hong's coat.

Just as the two were about to be affectionate, Dong Rong's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Master, Miss Lin sent someone to tell you that she's not feeling well. Please come and take a look."

Wang Ruofu paused, a hint of displeasure appearing between her brows.

"Why did you get sick at this time, not earlier or later? Aren't you tired of using this trick yet?!"

As early as when Lin Qinshuang first entered the mansion, she often pretended to be sick to trick Sheng Hong away from Wang Ruofu's room.

She sneered and resisted the urge to smash the cups and glasses.

"Sir, you must go and take a look. If you go too late, I'm afraid that Lin's heartache will be even worse."

Sheng Hong looked embarrassed; he knew perfectly well that Lin Qinshuang was faking illness. So he coughed lightly and said to the outside, "If she's not feeling well, please have a doctor come and see her. I'll go see her again tomorrow when I have time."

In the west wing, inside the side room.

When Lin Qinshuang heard what the old woman brought back, she was so angry that she threw the fan in her hand to the ground with a "bang".

"Calm down, little girl. I heard that the master is arranging a marriage for the eldest daughter recently. I think it must be because of this that he didn't come."

Zhou Xuenniang stood aside and spoke carefully to comfort him.

Lin Qinshuang's face was gloomy.

The willow-shaped eyebrows that had just been carefully drawn showed a sharp edge, which was very different from her usually delicate and gentle face.

"My Lord must be resentful towards me, otherwise why would he get stuck with Wang Ruofu?"

"If the Zhao family's brother hadn't interfered today, our plan would have been accomplished long ago. The Wei family is really lucky."

"Is Madam Guan dead?"

Zhou Xuenniang nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, little lady. I've personally checked it out, and it's completely dead."

"It's still some time before Miss Wei gives birth, so don't worry. As long as we have the power of housekeeper, we will have no worries about opportunities."

Lin Qinshuang slowly stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, a hint of cold calculation flashing in her eyes.

After a moment, she raised her hand and stroked her temples, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"You're right, we have plenty of opportunities."

"Please prepare some good supplements and clothes, and come with me tomorrow to visit Sister Wei and Sixth Miss."

"Call Zhulou and Luluo as well. From now on, they will serve Sister Wei."

Zhulou is Lin Qinshuang's trusted maid, while Luluo is a spy planted by Wang Ruofu.

After Zhou Xuenniang responded, her eyes moved, and she immediately understood her intention.

-

Back to the Zhao residence, after Zhao Han came back, he saw that the light was still on in Mother Hu's room, so he went in and told her all about Sheng Hong's arrangements.

Mother Hu immediately smiled happily.

"During last year's Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, I had the honor of meeting the eldest daughter of the Sheng family. Her demeanor is so extraordinary that I'm afraid you wouldn't find another one like her in the entire city of Yangzhou."

"When the eldest lady was alive, she was most concerned about my son's marriage. Now that he has found such a good marriage with the Sheng family, it must be because of her blessing from heaven."

Zhao Han smiled, and his eyes softened a little.

"The eldest daughter of the Sheng family is indeed very talented. We must not treat her badly in the future when it comes to betrothal gifts."

Mother Hu waved her hand and said loudly, "Don't worry about this, my brother. The money left by the eldest lady and the old master is enough for you to have a grand wedding."

"Just leave these to me. Tomorrow I'll find a reliable matchmaker and make sure the Sheng family happily marries their daughter."

"Thank you, Mother Hu, for taking care of it."

Just as he was about to leave, Mother Hu suddenly called him, looking a little nervous.

"Where is the jade pendant on my waist?"

Zhao Han glanced down and said softly, "I left in a hurry just now and forgot to take the jade pendant with me."

"That's good. That half of the Heart-shaped Pendant is the Madam's most beloved thing. I will definitely keep it well."

"Don't worry, Mama Hu. I understand."

After returning to the dormitory, Zhao Han picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. Apart from the delicate carving and exquisite pattern, there was nothing special about it.

But after all, this is the relic of his original mother, so he naturally has to take good care of it.
