On weekdays in the Sheng family, Sheng Minglan was treated no worse than other children.
She has a share of everything that Lan Molan has.
It's just that because Rulan and Molan have their biological mother, there seems to be a slight difference in the treatment between the three.
Seeing Lu Xiao appear, Sheng Changfeng on the ground immediately shouted.
"Brother-in-law, save me, I really know I was wrong."
Lu Xiao said angrily, "I told you long ago to stay away from your friends, but you just wouldn't listen. You deserve this beating today! Keep it up. Chang Feng is in better shape than you think. This little beating won't do more than scratch him. Just use a little force, and it won't hurt."
Sheng Changfeng also practiced his set of body-building exercises.
Although this guy doesn't practice seriously on weekdays.
But it has some effect.
At least it's very resistant to beatings.
As soon as these words were spoken, the two servants in the yard subconsciously increased the strength of their hands.
“Ah~ah~ah~”
Sheng Changfeng screamed even more miserably.
Then Lu Xiao led Sheng Xiaoliu past him and walked into the house.
Inside the house, the concubine Lin Qinshuang was crying with tears streaming down her face, looking very pitiful.
"Red Wolf (not a typo), someone must have seen Feng'er's friendship with high-ranking officials and became jealous. That's why they are spreading rumors in front of the emperor to deceive His Majesty. Please spare Feng'er."
Sheng Quan said angrily, "The emperor clearly stated when and where it would happen. Do you believe what you said about him being deceived?"
Madam Wang next to her immediately began applying eye drops to Lin Qinshuang.
"We are a clean-cut civil servant, and our family rules are so strict. Rulan was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall all night just because she took a few more steps to the hall a few days ago. Changfeng caused such a terrible disaster, and a few strokes of the cane is considered light. But you, who came into my house pregnant, have no respect for your own skin, and you still want to bring disaster to the master. In my opinion, it's all my fault for raising you in my house. You have corrupted a good child."
Lin Qinshuang entered the Sheng family with a bulging belly.
Sleeping made Sheng Quan unable to control his lower body.
Mrs. Wang has talked about this a lot over the years.
This drama of Backyard Storm is also very exciting to watch.
It's no worse than the court intrigue.
But Sheng Quan is a man who values his reputation after all.
I heard Madam Wang bring up the old matter again.
He immediately changed the subject and looked at Lu Xiao who had just walked into the room.
"My dear nephew, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, His Majesty would definitely not have forgiven me so easily."
At this moment, Sheng Quan's tone did not sound like he was talking to a younger person.
He knew very well in his heart that the emperor's feelings towards Lu Xiao were different from those towards others.
If His Majesty can have a prince in a few months, the value of this friendship will be immeasurable.
Don't say Lu Xiao is talented.
Even if he has no talent at all, his future achievements in the court will definitely not be comparable to his.
At this moment, how could he dare to treat Lu Xiao as a junior?
Lu Xiao immediately said, "Uncle, you're too polite. We're all family, so you're welcome. I've already brought my sixth sister back safely. I haven't been home for two days, and my wife is waiting for me at home, so I won't stay any longer."
From yesterday till today, he hasn't been back yet.
Fortunately, he had already sent someone home with a message, so he didn't have to worry about his wife getting too worried.
Sheng Quan immediately said, "As you should. It's getting late today, so I won't keep you any longer. Tomorrow, you can bring Shulan home with you, and we can have a good reunion."
Lu Xiao did not refuse and immediately bowed and said goodbye.
Sheng Xiaoliu didn't want to stay in the room any longer. After all, the smell of Qi III Ling Si Cu Qi mixed with gunpowder was really strong.
Then she bowed and said, "Father, I will take my leave now. I will go and pay my respects to my grandmother."
Sheng Quan nodded, then said, "Okay, you've been working hard all day. Now that you're done, take a break and don't tire yourself out."
He rarely said such caring words to his own children.
Then the two of them walked out of the house together.
Sheng Xiaoliu walked Lu Xiao all the way to the door before stopping and suddenly asking.
"Brother-in-law, do you really know medical skills?"
Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Sheng Xiaoliu asked again: "Is it very powerful?"
Lu Xiao said, "It's not that severe, but there's probably no disease in the world that I can't cure."
"Then I want to ask you a favor, okay?"
Sheng Xiaoliu blinked her big eyes, full of anticipation.
Chapter 195 Happy Event
Seeing the expectation in Sheng Xiaoliu's eyes, Lu Xiao smiled.
"What's going on? Is someone you care about sick?"
Sheng Xiaoliu nodded.
"It's my elder sister."
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Hualan?"
Sheng Xiaoliu said, "Well, my eldest sister has been married into the Yuan family for a while now, and she still doesn't have any children. Her mother-in-law is very harsh on her because of this. I just saw my eldest sister in the house with a look of worry on her face. I think it must have been very difficult for her to come back after my father's accident. She used to be very kind to me when she was home, and my grandmother was also very worried about this matter, so I want to help her."
Sheng Xiaoliu is a man who will repay a favor.
It is normal to have such thoughts.
However, she didn't know Lu Xiao was a doctor before, so she didn't mention it.
Lu Xiao immediately said, "I thought it was something. Okay, I agree. Go back and tell her to stay at the Sheng residence for another day. I'll come over tomorrow to see her. A prescription should be able to solve it."
He still has this confidence.
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Sheng Xiaoliu said in surprise.
Lu Xiao teased, "Are you just thanking me?"
After hearing this, Sheng Xiaoliu's brows furrowed into a shape of "川" (a character for "川"), and it took him half a day to ask.
"Then I will cook two delicious dishes for you tomorrow?"
Lu Xiao shook his head. "Two isn't enough. Ten is the minimum."
Sheng Xiaoliu opened his mouth wide: "Ah! Ten? That's too many."
"If you don't want to, forget it." Lu Xiao said, pretending to be angry.
Sheng Xiaoliu immediately panicked: "No, no, I promise, isn't that enough? Ten is ten."
Of course, she knew in her heart that Lu Xiao was just teasing her and was not really angry.
As expected, Lu Xiao immediately said.
"Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. You don't have to cook all ten dishes at once. Just take your time and pay me back."
"Okay, it's a deal then!"
Sheng Xiaoliu nodded impatiently, his face filled with joy.
After agreeing on this matter, Lu Xiao didn't stay any longer and immediately said goodbye and left the Sheng Mansion.
After watching Lu Xiao's back disappear, Minglan walked back towards the inner house.
But just as she stepped into the inner house, she was suddenly stopped by a group of people.
Like orchid, Hualan, and Sheng Changbai.
"Second brother, eldest sister, fifth sister, why are you stopping me?"
Minglan's eyes were filled with confusion.
Sheng Changbai said helplessly, "Don't ask me. My elder sister and I were both dragged here by Rulan."
Rulan immediately stepped forward, grabbed Minglan's arm and asked.
"Sixth sister, was your jade pendant really given by the emperor?"
Her eyes were full of greed.
It was because of this.
Minglan nodded and said, "That should be correct. When I entered the palace to see the emperor today, I was almost scared to death. I never thought that the old man we met was actually the emperor's family."
Thinking about this now, Minglan still looks terrified.
Rulan immediately said, "Please let me see it. I haven't even seen the gift from the Emperor. Please."
As she spoke, she shook Minglan's arm and acted coquettishly.
This is really rare.
Minglan had no choice but to take out the jade pendant from her purse.
Rulan then took it over eagerly.
He looked at it carefully, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally break the jade pendant.
Behind him, Hua Lan and Sheng Changbai also stretched their necks.
I say I'm not curious, but my body is honest.
It's a young mindset after all.
"Wow, it's truly an imperial gift, it's truly extraordinary." Rulan's eyes lit up.
Hua Lan said from behind, "Be careful! If it breaks, it will be considered disrespectful."
Rulan said, "I know. I'm so envious of Sixth Sister. If only I could have a jade pendant like this. It would surely make my best friends envious."
"You wish. How could a gift from the Emperor be so easily obtained? Sixth Sister was able to obtain this item thanks to Tuizhi's blessing."
Sheng Changbai tapped her head lightly.
Rulan immediately said in dissatisfaction: "I think it's not enough. My brother-in-law is really biased. If I had known that the person we met was from an official family, I should have been more sweet-talking."
Don't think she said it lightly at this time.
If I had known this before, I probably wouldn't have dared to say a word.
After looking at it for a while, Rulan reluctantly returned the jade pendant to Minglan.
This thing was a gift from His Majesty, so even if she coveted it, she wouldn't dare snatch it.
Sheng Changbai then said, "Sixth sister, you must keep this jade pendant safe. Father will probably come to see you tomorrow. It will most likely be enshrined in our ancestral hall. I'm sure Father will also bring your birth mother's tablet back from Yuqing Temple. You must not be careless about this matter."
"What? Father will bring back my mother's tablet?" Minglan's eyes widened.
Minglan's mother was a concubine and died in childbirth, so she didn't give birth to a son for the Sheng family.
Therefore, after her death, she could not enter the Sheng family ancestral hall to enjoy the Sheng family's incense.
Minglan had never expected this.
Because this is a folk custom.
That's why she enshrined her mother's tablet in Yuqing Temple.
She doesn't have many opportunities to visit her mother throughout the year.
That's why she looked like this after hearing Sheng Changbai's words.
If she could bring her mother's tablet back to the Sheng family, she would be able to see her mother every day.
This was a huge surprise for her.
Sheng Changbai smiled and said, "Of course. This is a gift from the Emperor. Since ancient times, a mother's status has been determined by her children. Since you have received such favor from the Emperor, it is only natural for my father to bring Wei Xiaoniang's tablet back to the ancestral hall."
