The passers-by are vicious

At this moment, the eldest princess sitting above suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

However, Sheng Hongyi did not give her a chance to finish her words. He just swung his sleeves and shouted, "Drag her away."

He interrupted the eldest princess directly and rudely.

The eldest princess who was sitting at the top opened her mouth, but in the end she could only frown and slam the table in frustration.

The guards immediately followed Sheng Hongyi's order and dragged Zheng Zhaorong out.

Zheng Zhaorong struggled but couldn't break free, and was finally dragged out of the Sheng Mansion by the guards.

In the Sheng Mansion, in the eldest princess' courtyard and in the lobby, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Both the maids and the nannies stood on both sides with their heads lowered, and they were silent and dared not make any sound.

Only Jiang Wanwan watched all this with a relaxed mood, thinking that this farce was truly wonderful.

There was no need for her to do anything evil, Zheng Zhaorong was driven out.

Jiang Wanwan felt quite comfortable just sitting back and reaping the benefits.

However, the eldest princess sitting at the top was unwilling to give up. She thought that Jiang, a widow with a lot of burdens, was not worthy of Sheng Hongyi at all.

"Okay, if you don't want to marry Zheng Zhaorong, then marry Jiang's personal maid."

These words plunged the entire hall into a deathly silence.

The maid lowered her head and couldn't believe her ears.

Qiu Yu's eyes widened, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

When Qiu Yu heard that Sheng Hongyi was going to marry her, she was so scared that she immediately knelt on the ground while standing next to her wife Jiang Wanwan.

"I only want to serve the young lady, and I dare not flatter her. I beg the princess to spare my life."

Qiuyu's voice was obviously trembling. She was a born servant of the Jiang family. She grew up with Jiang Wanwan and had never thought of betraying her.

It’s not that Sheng Hongyi is a bad person, but she likes her own lady Jiang Wanwan more than any other man.

Sheng Hongyi just felt panic. The eldest princess's move was not only making things difficult for Wanwan, but also stepping on her face.

Sheng Hongyi, who had just ignored Zheng Zhaorong's pressure, clenched his hands into fists.

If the person above was not his biological mother, he would have been unable to resist drawing his sword.

Sheng Hongyi's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Mother, are you forcing your son? If mother insists on doing this, and the Sheng family has so few descendants, then father should also take a concubine."

The eldest princess sitting at the top was shaking with anger. She pointed at Sheng Hongyi and said, "You..." Her face was as cold as Sheng Hongyi's.

But Sheng Hongyi remained unmoved, he just looked at the princess quietly.

When the princess thought about General Sheng taking a concubine, she wanted to pick up her sword and kill him.

Sheng Hongyi looked calmly at the eldest princess in the hall who was clearly suppressing her anger.

"If mother is fine, I will take Wanwan back home." After saying that, he was ready to turn around.

The eldest princess seemed unable to bear it any longer. She suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it hard on Sheng Hongyi's forehead.

"You are so arrogant that you even came to my yard to show off. How can you think that I am dead and it is not your turn to have the final say in Sheng Mansion?"

Facing the cup that was thrown at him, Sheng Hongyi calmly reached out his hand, caught it steadily, and gently handed it to the maid beside him.

His eyes were calm, as if everything was under control.

"Have you calmed down, mother? If you still feel that it is not enough, you can continue to throw. However, I still hope that you will not mention the matter of taking a concubine to my wife again in the future."

In order to completely dispel the eldest princess's idea, Sheng Hongyi even did not hesitate to make harsh remarks.

"If mother insists on giving her son a concubine, you might as well wait until her son dies and then send someone to burn her. This way, your wish will be fulfilled."

These words made the princess tremble with anger. She stared with anger and said: "You..., you are really my good son."

He swung his sleeves and slammed the table hard to vent his dissatisfaction.

Finally, the princess calmed down for a long time and finally spoke: "Okay, I won't take a concubine. In this case, let Jiang stay! From now on, she needs to come to greet me every day and serve me meals."

Sheng Hongyi looked at the eldest princess above with a slightly cold expression, "Mother, do you really have to embarrass your son?"

The princess heard this and snorted with displeasure on her face, "When have I ever made things difficult for you? It's always because you're mad at me."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Wanwan and sneered, "Besides, as a daughter-in-law, it is natural to take care of the mother-in-law. If Jiang can't even do this, then what qualifications does she have to be the daughter-in-law of our Sheng family?"

"Besides, Jiang was disrespectful to me today. I will punish her by making her kneel down in the ancestral hall. Someone, take Jiang to the ancestral hall and do not let her out without my order."

As soon as he finished speaking, several masked guards in blue rushed in from outside the door. Without saying a word, they stepped forward and tried to take Jiang Wanwan, who was watching the show, away.

Sheng Hongyi naturally knew that these blue-clad guards were the force left by the late emperor to Princess Wencheng.

The purpose is to ensure her a safe life.

Sheng Hongyi protected Jiang Wanwan behind him and shouted coldly: "Stop, no one is allowed to touch my wife while I am here."

Suddenly, several secret guards dressed in black and wearing black masks descended from the air outside the courtyard like ghosts and fought with the blue-clothed guard.

For a moment, the yard was filled with flashes of swords and sabers, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

When the princess saw that Sheng Hongyi dared to let his secret guards show up and fight with her own guards, she was so angry that her face turned red and she said angrily: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry and capture Jiang for me!"

Several maids and maids standing on both sides immediately took action.

Sheng Hongyi waved his sleeves violently, and a powerful internal force gushed out, throwing the maids and nannies who rushed towards Jiang Jinli out of the yard.

They fell to the ground in a mess.

The guards who were originally fighting with the secret guards outside the courtyard moved away without leaving a trace to make room for them.

The maids and nannies, or the secret guards and imperial guards who were fighting outside the courtyard, looked at each other and began to pretend to fight, but in fact they were not using their full strength.

They secretly complained in their hearts.

The mother and son were having a conflict, and the servants were caught in the middle.

The only ones who suffer are them, the beasts of burden.

Although the blue-clad guards and the black-clad, black-masked secret guards were still pretending to fight, they were not actually using their real strength and were just pretending.

Because everyone knew that if they really hurt each other, by the time the conflict between the eldest princess and Sheng Hongyi disappeared, they would just be hurt in vain.

Therefore, they are careful to maintain a delicate balance and try to avoid hurting each other.

Jiang Wanwan grabbed Sheng Hongyi's sleeve and let herself be held in his arms.

The Sheng family was indeed more powerful than she had imagined, but they also brought more trouble.

If it weren't for Sheng Hongyi's protection, Jiang Wanwan would have been wasted by the eldest princess.

Suddenly she began to wonder whether it was right for her to marry Sheng Hongyi.

After all, Jiang Wanwan hates trouble the most.

"Stop it, mother and son are fighting. Are you going to make the Sheng family a laughing stock in front of everyone in Beijing?"

General Sheng, who was offering sacrifices outside, rushed back immediately after hearing the news.

Looking at the fight between the blue-clad guards and the black-clad secret guards in the yard, he couldn't help but stop them with a cold face.

The blue-clad servants and black-clad secret guards all dodged and hid in the dark again after receiving the signal from their master.

It seemed as if he wanted to save some face for the eldest princess in front of his son and daughter-in-law, or he wanted to say something that was not suitable for Jiang Wanwan and Sheng Hongyi to hear.

General Sheng said to Sheng Hongyi and Jiang Wanwan: "Yier, you and Jiang can go back."

"Yes, father."

Sheng Hongyi seemed to have guessed something and bowed in response.

He put his arm around his wife Jiang Wanwan's slender waist and turned away.

The couple breathed a sigh of relief only after they walked out of the eldest princess's yard.

Sheng Hongyi took Jiang Wanwan's hand and apologized, "Wanwan, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."

Jiang Wanwan smiled slightly, her eyes full of smiles as she shook her head gently, "I believe my husband, this was just an accident."

Sheng Hongyi reached out his hand and gently stroked Jiang Wanwan's hair, his eyes gentle but firm, "No matter what, my feelings have never changed."

"Husband~."

Jiang Wanwan leaned on Sheng Hongyi's shoulder with tears in her eyes as if she was moved, while hiding the indifference on her face.

When she looked up, she looked at Sheng Hongyi shyly, her eyes shining with a light like autumn water.

The couple smiled at each other, as if their feelings for each other did not need words.

.........

In the Princess's courtyard, the only people left were the Princess sitting in the hall and Marshal Sheng standing in the courtyard.

It was not autumn yet, but the gentle breeze made the eldest princess, who was sitting upright, feel cold for no reason, and even an indescribable sadness welled up in her heart.

General Sheng, with his hands behind his back, was the first to break the silence.

His voice was calm and indifferent, without any ripples, but it revealed disappointment, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb them? They want to take a concubine and set rules. Princess, don't forget that this is Sheng Mansion."

"If you want to show off your power, it won't be too late to do so after I die."

As expected of father and son, even the words they used to threaten the princess were similar.

"You want to make the whole Sheng Mansion a mess when you want to live a good life like this?"

General Sheng frowned, as if he could not help himself, and his words were filled with blame and helplessness.

The princess sneered and retorted, "Hongyi is also your son. When have you ever cared about him? I'm afraid that in your heart, only the dead person can occupy a place."

There were tears in his eyes, but his voice was sharp and piercing, full of resentment and unwillingness.

General Sheng's face turned ugly. He gritted his teeth, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes: "Don't talk nonsense. I naturally have expectations for Hongyi, but you... that's all. There is no point in saying more."

But in the eyes of the eldest princess, General Sheng did not allow her to interfere in the affairs of the Sheng family, which meant that he did not recognize her identity as his wife.

But more resentment was that Captain Sheng was still thinking about other people.

Even today, the day when the woman fell off the cliff, he would go to worship her every year.

And every time this day came, the eldest princess would inevitably be torn by emotions mixed together including jealousy, dissatisfaction, and resentment.

The princess became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She felt that all the grievances and pain she had endured over the years had now turned into questions for Marshal Sheng.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You didn't get to live happily with that widow, and now you want to fulfill your son's wish and project your regrets onto Hongyi. What are you thinking?"

After saying this, the princess smiled sarcastically without showing any weakness. There was a coldness in her eyes, which was enough to show the resentment and unwillingness that had accumulated in her heart for many years.

When he heard the princess mention Qingmian, Captain Sheng felt an unspeakable pain welling up in his heart.

When faced with accusations, fatigue appeared in his eyes.

With a self-deprecating and bitter smile on his face, he said, "I have always taken care of Yi'er. He likes to study and I support him. He wants to marry the person he loves. Is it wrong for me to support him?"

He didn't want his son to lose his loved one like he did and live as a corpse.

They also couldn't understand why the eldest princess wanted their son to go through this kind of pain.

"But you... are simply insane. You don't want your son to live in peace. I'm afraid that's why you put your hatred for Qingmian on Jiang, and that's why you don't like her."

General Sheng took a deep breath, as if he had been holding it in for a long time, or perhaps because he had drunk some wine, he simply swung his sleeves and shouted out his anger.

The eldest princess seemed to have been reminded of what he was thinking, and her face instantly turned gloomy.

"You're talking nonsense!"

She growled in a low voice, "How could I possibly bear a grudge against Yi'er's wife? This is complete nonsense!"

"Really? Then why are you always dissatisfied with Jiang's?"

The eldest princess seemed stumped by the question, her face turned pale and she did not answer for a long time.

Captain Sheng sighed deeply, "You only consider your own pain, but ignore Yi'er's happiness. He has the right to make his own choices, not be bound by our past."

The eldest princess was silent for a moment, a hint of guilt flashed across her eyes, but was quickly replaced by stubbornness.

As the most beloved princess of the late emperor, she has always been strong, treating her husband and her son in the same way.

If he is not under her control, he will become paranoid and want to go crazy.

So when faced with the scolding from Grand Marshal Sheng, the princess did not wake up but became even more angry. She pointed at the man below and said without restraint, "You two are worthy of being father and son. You are both ungrateful wolves."

"When you went crazy, I came to Sheng Mansion every day to pray for the gods and Buddhas to bless you. I fasted and chanted for a whole year before I finally made you sober."

The eldest princess' eyes were filled with sorrow. She looked at General Sheng, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances. "But after you woke up, you still looked cold to me. If it weren't for the pressure from my father and Mr. Sheng, would you have married me? Would you have recognized Yi'er!"

Her voice was tearful, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

Faced with the eldest princess's hysterical appearance, Marshal Sheng remained silent for a long time, and finally shrugged his shoulders and covered his forehead with a bitter smile.

"So..., the ones who are wrong are you and me."

General Sheng's voice was low and hoarse, with bitterness on his lips, "You shouldn't care about me. I would rather go crazy forever than suffer the pain of being sober like now."

As he spoke, a tear of regret slid down his strong yet pale cheek and dripped onto his dark collar.

But seeing the pain in the face of General Sheng, the princess did not feel happy at all. Instead, she looked even more sad. "You still can't forget that woman. After more than ten years, I still can't warm your heart..."
