Begonia Courtyard.

After Sheng Mingzhu was injured, Sheng Yong fined all the servants in the yard three months' wages.

She also ordered two of Sheng Mingzhu's personal maids, Tianzhang and Qionglou, to kneel in the yard.

It was not said how long the punishment would last, and now the two are still kneeling in the yard.

Therefore, the one who will be guarding Sheng Mingzhu tonight is Feng Sanya, also known as Xia Zhi.

She slept on the floor next to Sheng Mingzhu's bed, feeling exhausted but not sleepy at all.

Because she also heard what happened in the ancestral hall just now.

She didn't expect Liu Ya to be so favored!

This made Xia Zhi very frightened, and at the same time, a fire of jealousy burned in his heart.

Her actual biological sister was transferred to the Sheng family by her mother when she was young. She has been a lady of an official family for seven years and will most likely continue to be a lady in the future.

And her nominal sister was recognized and became the real daughter of the mansion...

Why do all the good things belong to others?

Why can't she get any advantage?

Now she even has to serve her own sister. The more Xia Zhi thinks about it, the more unfair it seems, and she feels very upset.

Xia Zhi was unwilling to accept this and she refused to admit defeat!

She also wants to stand out!

But what should she do?

After tossing and turning, Xia Zhi finally came up with an idea.

She found that she actually looked a bit like Sheng Mingzhu. Prince Qi and the eldest, third, and fifth young masters all liked Sheng Mingzhu...

If she dresses up well, will she have a chance to become a phoenix in the future?

It would be best if I could marry Prince Qi, but if that doesn't work, being the concubine of the young master of the Sheng family would also be fine...

As long as she becomes the woman of any of these four men, she will be able to live a life of luxury and be surrounded by servants.

Her heart was filled with emotion when she thought of that kind of life!

When Xia Zhi arrived at the mansion late, he had only seen the flamboyant concubine Hong and the concubine Bai who would stab Sheng Mingzhu from time to time.

Because these two concubines did live a very comfortable life, she had an illusion that she could live a rich life as long as she became a concubine.

She never thought that the unfavored concubine lived a life worse than that of an ordinary maid.

She naively thought that after becoming a concubine, "Liu Ya" would not dare to bully her.

She didn't even think about it, "Liu Ya" dared to beat both Sheng Mingjian and Sheng Mingbo, so what would she be even if she became a concubine?

Moreover, she only thought about herself and didn't even think about how her biological mother Tao Niang was doing now...

"Summer Solstice..."

At this time, Sheng Mingzhu was awakened by the pain and opened her mouth to call for help. Xia Zhi got up reluctantly.

"Miss--"

Sheng Mingzhu had medicine applied on her head and face, and was wrapped up tightly, leaving only a pair of red eyes and a mouth exposed.

"water--"

Xia Zhi slowly poured Sheng Mingzhu a glass of cold water.

If she was on night watch in the past, she would definitely try every means to serve Sheng Mingzhu well, so as to improve her status in Haitang Courtyard...

For example, for tea at night, one must brew a pot of good tea early in the morning, filter out the tea leaves, and place the tea in a small porcelain teapot.

Whenever Sheng Mingzhu felt thirsty, she would always have a sip of hot tea.

They would also prepare two kinds of delicious cakes and fruits, so that if Sheng Mingzhu suddenly got hungry, she could eat them to avoid starving herself. In short, they would prepare the meal as meticulously as possible.

But today, after Xia Zhi learned that Sheng Mingzhu was her biological sister, she no longer had any awe for Sheng Mingzhu.

In addition, she was worried about her future, so she didn't prepare anything and was very perfunctory.

Sheng Mingzhu seemed particularly thirsty and didn't mind Xia Zhi giving her some cold water. She drank two cups before asking.

"My brothers..."

Because of the injury, his pronunciation is not very clear.

Xia Zhi mocked in his heart, thinking that Sheng Mingzhu probably still thought that her brothers would seek justice for her.

She told what happened in the ancestral hall, and after she finished speaking, Sheng Mingzhu's eyes became a little creepy.

It was like a ghost crawling out of hell to seek revenge...

Summer solstice heart trembles slightly dare not look at

"Tomorrow morning... go and ask... the king to come..."

Sheng Mingzhu asked her to go find Prince Qi tomorrow?

Xia Zhi was worrying about how to get close to King Qi, and she was so happy that Sheng Mingzhu created an opportunity for her that she immediately accepted it.

Sheng Mingzhu tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep again.

Early the next morning, Jixue, who was also a second-class maid, came to serve Sheng Mingzhu.

Xia Zhi hurried out of the house and went to Prince Qi's mansion. She wanted to see Prince Qi before he went to the academy.

Recently, because she was promoted to a second-class maid and was often around Sheng Mingzhu, she also got to know some servants in Prince Qi's mansion.

But she only got the news when she went there that King Qi fell ill after returning home last night!

I heard that Prince Jing had a nightmare, so Princess Jing asked someone to go to the academy to ask for a few days' leave for Prince Qi.

Xia Zhi had no choice but to return home and tell Sheng Mingzhu the news.

Sheng Mingzhu's chest heaved with anger and she seemed about to lose her temper, but she finally held back.

He wrote her a letter and gave her a bag of silver, asking her to find a way to deliver the letter to King Qi.

Xia Zhi wanted to enter Prince Qi's mansion, but the gatekeeper refused to let her in.

She had no choice but to ask someone to call King Qi's personal servant, and finally delivered the letter to the servant.

She waited outside the door for a while, and the servant brought her a reply letter.

After Sheng Mingzhu read the reply from Prince Qi, her expression became much more normal.

Xia Zhi gritted her teeth secretly. She must learn to read. She must learn everything that Sheng Mingzhu knew!

*

On the other side, Sheng Mingjian woke up.

He was dreaming again. His dream was very strange, and the timeline seemed to be from back to front.

This time Mingzhu did not appear in the dream, but his mother's funeral.

The mother died saving Mingzhu.

He also learned some information in his dream. In his dream, the three brothers were important officials in the court.

My third brother seems to be in good health and has a wide network of contacts.

The fifth brother is a military general, very majestic and powerful.

Sheng Mingjian felt his heart pounding!

The more he dreamed, the more he had an intuition that everything that happened in his dreams was the right path.

Like the mother's attitude towards Mingzhu, even if Mingzhu is not the legitimate daughter of the Sheng family, the mother will always love Mingzhu and even be willing to die to save Mingzhu.

And the third and fifth brothers will be his helpers, not like now...

Why is reality so different from dreams?

When did my third brother’s health start to deteriorate?

It started from that time when they tried to "force" their mother to forgive them and take over the household chores and become a vegetarian again.

Why couldn’t my fifth brother learn martial arts?

It’s also because my mother doesn’t agree!

The mother no longer loves Mingzhu...

The changes seem to have started with the mother!

Thinking of this, Sheng Mingjian felt his limbs go cold and shivered...

If one day he needs to choose between his future, Mingzhu, and his mother.

Sheng Mingjian knew that he would choose the former without hesitation!

He shook his head. It hadn't come to that point yet, and he wasn't sure what had happened to his mother. He had to investigate slowly.

And there is his "sister". Her performance yesterday showed that this "sister" of his is not ordinary at all.

He should find someone to investigate the other party thoroughly.

In addition, I have to go out and find a famous doctor to check the health of my third brother, and I can also find a martial arts master for my fifth brother...

As for my mother, let’s keep it a secret for now.

It's just that he and his servant need to recuperate recently and can't move around. Let's write a letter and let Xiong San do it.

Sheng Mingjian had no idea that Xiong San was actually his "mother's" man.

So after Xiong San received the order, Sheng Minmin also got the news soon.
