loving husband

Rongguo Mansion

"Master..." A servant came outside the dormitory and announced aloud.

"What's the matter?" Sheng Yonglan, who had just returned from the palace, untied the jade belt around his waist and handed it to the valet beside him. He slightly opened his lips, and his voice was calm and majestic.

The servant outside bowed. "Ma'am is awake."

"I'll go right away." He frowned slightly, thinking of his wife who accidentally had an accident yesterday, after being in a coma for nearly a day, he finally regained consciousness.

"Master..." The slave outside the door hesitated to speak. "I heard from the maid serving Madam that... Madam became a little weird after she woke up."

Hearing this, Sheng Yonglan's resolute face froze immediately. "Speak clearly!"

"I heard Ma'am... just smirking, and talking inconsequentially." Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, no one dared to talk about such things.

Sheng Yonglan asked his personal servant to help him put on the regular clothes, while thinking, according to the diagnosis of the imperial physician, his wife only had some minor scratches, and did not hurt her head. That's what happens.

Regardless of whether the relationship between husband and wife is good or bad, the Jiang family is his wife after all, and he has to go to visit him personally, thinking about it, Sheng Yonglan opened the door forcefully.

The servant who was standing outside the door waiting for orders saw the door opened and hurriedly stepped aside.

The tall figure stepped out of the threshold and walked towards another courtyard. He couldn't help but think of the five years of marriage with Jiang, only the two months when he was just married, he had slept in the same room. Moving out of the original courtyard was not to disrespect his wife, but to hope that she would reflect on it. Unfortunately, the relationship between husband and wife could not be improved, but worsened.

When Sheng Yonglan came to the courtyard where his wife lived, before he reached the door of the dormitory, he saw a few maidservants standing at the door anxiously, and immediately quickened his pace.

"Grandfather is here!"

One of the maids yelled in relief.

Sheng Yonglan stepped into the bedroom, and there was a personal maid who had been serving the longest in the room, looking at the master who was sitting beside the table in bewilderment, who was wolfing down snacks, and didn't know what to do for a while.

"What's going on?" he asked in a deep voice.

Only then did the personal servant girl notice who it was, and immediately saluted him.

"If you go back to the master, madam, she...she..."

Hearing her hesitation, Sheng Yonglan shot his sharp eyes at his wife, and saw that she had black hair hanging down, a smirk on her formerly charming and arrogant face, and there were still residues of snacks on her lips. It was the first time I saw her eating.

He took two steps forward and asked suspiciously, "Is Ma'am alright?"

"This is delicious..." Hearing the other party's question, she stuffed the last bite of pastry into her mouth and said with a silly smile.

Sheng Yonglan was taken aback by his wife's demeanor and tone. "Madam, do you know who I am?"

"I don't know, who are you?" She asked with a smile.

"Then does Madam know who she is?" he asked again.

She pointed stupidly at herself. "I don't know, who am I?"

"My wife is the grandson of Jiang Da, the Huaiyuan general who was posthumously named Marquis of Anqing, and now she is Mrs. Rong Guogong, who is also my wife..." Sheng Yonglan explained his identity to her, while examining every detail of his wife's face. expression. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

It's over!This man is the husband-in-law of Mrs. Rong Guogong and the closest person, so he will definitely find out that they are not the same person.She... that is, Jiang Dongxiu, although she still had a smirk on her face, she was in a cold sweat.

Thinking of half an hour ago, when she woke up, she found that she had turned into another person from head to toe, and was lying in a strange dormitory, surrounded by a group of maidservants, but these were not the things that shocked Dongxiu the most. What made her unacceptable was that she had become Mrs. Rong Guogong.

At the last moment, because of the failure of the mission, she failed to remove the target and was unfortunately injured. In order to avoid the pursuers, she stopped a carriage that happened to pass by, and the lady in it was Mrs. Rong Guo. But an accident happened, and the next moment, he had to face this weird and absurd situation. If it were someone else today, he would have fainted from fright.

But Dongxiu's mind is also quick, she just smirks, and then just pretends that she doesn't know, this is her forte, every time she makes Master angry, she will use this trick, it always makes him angry and funny... Suddenly thinking that no one would scold her anymore, she felt both sad and nostalgic.

Sheng Yonglan looked at the woman who was smiling foolishly. In the five years since they got married, this expression had never appeared on his wife's face. If this was her original temperament, maybe their husband and wife would not be at odds with each other. , but would want to pity her more.

Because he would rather marry a naive and innocent wife who doesn't understand the world than spend his life with a narrow-minded, selfish and arrogant woman.

But the most important thing right now is to ascertain the condition of his wife. "You really don't remember?"

"I don't remember everything..." Dongxiu replied with a smile, but she secretly looked at the tall man in front of her.

I saw that he was about 27 or [-] years old, and his age and figure were about the same as that of the elder brother, but he was extravagant that the elder brother did not have. , to bring out the identity of the master even more, and there are a pair of thick eyebrows embedded in the sharp-edged face, as well as the deep and sharp black pupils, which are staring at him urgently at this moment.Dongxiu has been walking in the rivers and lakes with her master and senior brothers since she was a child, and she has seen more of the world. She can feel that the other party is not easy to deal with, and reminds herself to deal with it carefully.

He grabbed Dongxiu's left wrist and yelled. "Quickly tell the truth!"

"Ugh..." It hurts!

As a martial arts practitioner, when encountering an enemy's attack, she would naturally react. Dongxiu instinctively raised her right palm and hit the opponent's shoulder. Unexpectedly, the man in front of her was as motionless as a mountain. Only then did she realize this The palm was soft and weak, as if she was hitting a mosquito. She didn't believe in evil, so she tried again, but she still couldn't shake it a bit.

"Is it enough?" Sheng Yonglan pursed his thin lips and scolded.

What about my inner strength?Most of the blood on Dongxiu's face faded immediately, only then did he realize that this body does not belong to him now, and of course the kung fu practiced for more than ten years does not exist.

"I..." Staring at his right palm, it looks white and slender, let alone a sword, the heaviest thing its owner has ever held in his life is chopsticks.Dongxiu refused to give up just like that, so she tried again and again. "I'm going to fight... and then..."

The few maidservants present looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect the master to become a fool at all, and they all looked at a loss.

"Enough!" Sheng Yonglan increased his strength, almost breaking her wrist.

Dongxiu cried out in pain, a man like him who would be rough on a woman, especially if the other party is his wife, is not a good thing, and his impression of this Rong Guogong is even worse.

"It hurts...let me go..." If the internal force was still there, the man would have been blown away with one palm.

She was very sure that she couldn't get along with this man. If he found out that she was not his wife at all, what kind of cruel methods would he use to deal with her?

"You really don't even remember who you are?" Seeing his wife screaming and jumping in pain, Sheng Yonglan let go of his palm, believing it a little bit.

Sheng Yonglan thought that no matter how capricious his wife was, she wouldn't dare to beat him, so she really became stupid?However, the imperial physician had carefully diagnosed the injury, and repeatedly assured that there was no head injury, only some trauma, but what is the current situation?

"I don't remember!" Dongxiu shouted angrily.

He stared at his wife silently, trying to see something.

Dongxiu felt chills down her spine from those two deep gazes. She heard from the elder brother that these wealthy families were all cruel and merciless. If they fell into their hands, they would either be tortured or lose their heads. She didn't want that kind of death. I don't want to inexplicably lose my life.

"Go away!" she yelled in mock exasperation.

His wife's words and deeds are indeed very unusual, and she is completely different from before the accident.

"You take good care of Madam. After drinking the soup, let her lie down and rest. Maybe she will wake up after a night of sleep." Is it because of the extreme fright that caused the insanity at the time of the accident?Sheng Yonglan can only speculate like this, it seems that he still has to invite the imperial physician to come over again to confirm the reason.

"Yes." The maidservants blessedly replied.

When Sheng Yonglan turned around and went out, Dongxiu suddenly sat down on the ground weakly, her head was blank, and she only thought about why such a strange thing happened to her.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" The maid hurriedly helped her up.

She was helped to sit down, facing the cautious faces, she could only fill her stomach before making other plans. "I'm so hungry... I want to eat... eat..."

Thinking that the master has always had a small appetite, now he ate a few plates of snacks and complained about being hungry, the maids present began to believe that the master had really become a fool.

"Yes, ma'am." The personal maid ordered. "Go and bring lunch to your room..."

Two of the maidservants nodded and went out quickly.

Dongxiu kept yelling. "I want to eat! I want to eat!"

"Ma'am, wait a little longer..." the maid carefully comforted her.

"I'm going out to play..." She jumped up from the chair.

Seeing this, the maids hurriedly pushed the master back onto the chair. "Madam can't go out..."

"Go away... I want to go out..." Seeing that there are so many maidservants guarding her, she might not even be able to step out the door, so Dongxiu could only worry in her heart.

What should I do now?

Dongxiu lay down on the bed and pretended to be asleep until the meal was over and she reluctantly drank the decoction.

In this way, wait until around midnight.

The bedroom was quiet and silent, only the faint beeping of candles.

After a while, Dongxiu heard that the door was gently closed, and the maidservant who was in charge of the night watch went out, probably to relieve herself, she immediately turned over and sat up, then crossed her legs for luck.

After a while, she lowered her head in frustration and sighed several times.

"Still can't..." Because this body has never practiced martial arts, so where does it come from? "Eldest brother, come and save me..."

God probably hates her deliberately because he doesn't like her. Such absurd and weird things will happen to him, I really never even dreamed about it.

Sighing, Dongxiu decided to get out of bed and walk around. She would be tired if she lay down for too long, but she stepped on the ground before she had time to stand still. If she was not careful, she would fall forward.

"I forgot that she has bound feet..." Looking at the three-inch golden lotus on her feet, she couldn't help but smile wryly. "How do these little feet fly over the wall?"

She was adopted by her master when she was one year old, and she practiced martial arts with the elder brother and others since she was a child. Naturally, she never asked herself to bind her feet like ordinary girls, so she never experienced this kind of difficulty in walking. Only now do I know how troublesome it is.

After Dongxiu put on the exquisitely embroidered bow shoes and supported the things around her, she was able to walk.

After finally walking to the mirror stand, she couldn't help but look at the glamorous face reflected in the bronze mirror, as well as the beautiful figure with large breasts and slender waist. It can be said that she is an impeccable beauty, and there is no girl in the world who does not want have these.But facing someone else's face, it's really awkward, she doesn't look like her at all, although she can only be regarded as a delicate figure at first, but after a long time, she is very pleasing to the eye, and she is used to it, let alone something that is not her own, she But I can't, I'd better find a way to get back to my body quickly...

correct!What about her body?

Until this moment, Dongxiu didn't think of this huge problem.

"Why did I run into the body of Mrs. Rong Guo?" Dongxiu sat down on the round stool in front of the mirror stage, trying to recall the whole process.

"I just remember... It was raining heavily outside, followed by thunder, and the carriage lost control after a while... Eh? I seem to have forgotten something very important... I remembered!"

Dongxiu finally recalled that she bumped into the forehead of that Mrs. Rong Guo, and then passed out, and then heard the voices of the elder brother and the others, probably after the agreed time but they didn't see each other. Seeing her, that's why I came out to find someone, and then came down...

"Could it be... the real Mrs. Rong Guo ran into my body and was rescued by the elder brother?" She changed her face and raised her hand to caress the forehead that bumped at that time. She never expected that this bump would happen. It's such a big problem, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

"It must be so. They all thought that woman was me, but they didn't know... I and her were exchanged..." Dongxiu murmured in astonishment. "I need to inform the big brother quickly, but I have to find a way to get out of here first."

At this time, there was another sound of footsteps outside. It should be that the maid came back. Dongxiu staggered back to the bed, lay down again and continued to pretend to sleep.

Be sure to swap back quickly!

She needs to return to her original body quickly!

At noon the next day, Sheng Yonglan sat in the study with a sombre face, making the servants around him dare not even take a breath.

"Master, the maidservant who went out with Madam that day has been brought." A servant came in to announce.

"Let her in!" There was a chill in his eyes.

"Yes." The servant turned and went out.

After a while, I saw a maidservant who had several bruises on her face, and her left wrist was fixed with wooden bars because of a fracture, and walked in with a limp, whimpering.

"I've seen you..." the maid fell to her knees and sobbed.

Seeing that the servant girl's injury was indeed not serious, compared with her, his wife was much luckier, Sheng Yonglan was silent for a moment before opening his lips.

"The day before yesterday morning, why did Madam go out in a carriage? She always likes to take a sedan chair, unless it is a long trip, so there must be a reason for it." He said in a deep voice.

The servant girl wiped her tears with her right sleeve and timidly replied. "Madam told the servant before she left the house... I want the servant not to speak out..."

"Don't you say so?" Sheng Yonglan shouted. "Come on! Drag her down and punish the thirty bosses."

She was frightened out of her wits, these thirty big boards would kill her. "My lord, please forgive me... the servant said... the servant said it was fine..."

Sheng Yonglan slammed down the handle of the seat. "Hurry up!"

"Yes...Madam heard... I heard..." The maid flinched and said, "There is a Taoist priest with strong spells living in Xiaoliu Lane, who can help people avoid disasters, so I made a special trip to... Looking for him, but Madam doesn't want people to see her going to that kind of place... so she goes out in a carriage..."

"What disaster did she ask the Taoist priest to eliminate, what calamity?"

The maid swallowed her saliva, and said stammeringly: "At that time, Ma'am ordered the servant to wait outside first, so... the servant is not very clear, but before leaving, I heard from the Taoist priest that practicing this method is harming people. , but it will be retribution on him and his wife in turn, the lady didn't care about it, and said that as long as it succeeds, there will be a big thank you... That's all I know about this."

"You said that Taoist priest lived in Xiaoliu Lane?" Sheng Yonglan asked coldly.

She nodded like a pounding garlic. "Yes, slaves dare not lie to Master."

"Come on!"

Therefore, Sheng Yonglan immediately called the steward of the mansion, and ordered him to lead a few guards to the place mentioned by the maid, find the Taoist priest, and bring him back, so that he can ask him face to face.

"There was a thunderstorm that day, the horses were frightened, and the vision was not good, so the two carriages collided for no reason, and the driver died on the spot..." Sheng Yonglan recalled the news at that time, and immediately took people to the accident site. The steward of Lord Qu's mansion, the chief assistant of the court, also brought his servants there to save people, so he made such a guess, which can only be said to be an unwarranted disaster.

"You go down first," he said.

While wiping her tears, the maid stood up from the ground, suddenly thought of something, but dared not hide it.

"That's right! Master, actually...Actually, besides the coachman, his wife and servants, there was another girl in the carriage that day."

"Girl?" Sheng Yonglan was startled.

"Yes, the girl was about seventeen, she was born delicate and handsome, but she was very fierce, she appeared out of nowhere, stopped the carriage suddenly, and put a sword around the lady's neck, forcing us to send her away. A journey..." The maid said with lingering fear.

He pondered for a while. "I didn't see anyone else in the carriage at the time."

"The girl probably took advantage of the chaos and escaped." She could only think so.

"I will investigate this matter, you go down first." Sheng Yonglan waved his hands and said.

The maid let out a sigh of relief, thankful that she didn't need to be hit by a board, so she limped out of the study again.

"What the hell did she go to the Taoist priest to do? And who is she trying to harm?" Just as he said the words, a thought flashed through his mind, and the answer was ready to come out.

In this mansion, there is only one person that my wife can't stand the most. Sheng Yonglan never expected that she would do such a vicious thing.

"... She probably didn't expect that she would not be able to harm others in the end, but she would harm herself first."

As he said that, Sheng Yonglan couldn't help shaking his head, thinking of his wife's deceased grandfather, Huaiyuan General Jiang Da, who quelled the chaos in the border areas, and the Jiang family has been favored by the court since then. At that time, the elders of the two families decided to make this marriage for them.

When the father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away one after another, the emperor also honored his wife as the head of the county and enjoyed the due courtesy, which made her even more proud. The two families had already had a marriage contract, and Sheng Yonglan could only abide by it no matter how unwilling he was. When his wife got married at the age of 17, he decided to sleep in a separate room with his wife within three months of their marriage. It was difficult for the two to get along, let alone cultivate a relationship.

At this moment, a servant came in to report, interrupting Sheng Yonglan's heavy and helpless thoughts.

"Master, the imperial doctor is here and has already led him to Madam's place."

Sheng Yonglan immediately got up and went out, finding out the cause of his wife's abnormality was the top priority.

When he came to the courtyard where his wife lived, as soon as he stepped into the bedroom, he saw that the imperial physician was already sitting on the stool beside the bed, feeling his pulse through the gauze curtain.

With his hands behind his back, he quietly waited for the result.

And Dongxiu in the gauze tent was a little nervous, and also held her breath.

After a long while, the imperial physician finally took the pulse and got up from the stool.

"Is the situation serious?" Sheng Yonglan couldn't help guessing seeing the imperial physician's serious expression.

The imperial doctor frowned, and replied conservatively: "I'm not a good official, I really can't diagnose why Madam is in a trance and distracted..."

Dongxiu in the gauze tent almost laughed out loud, because it was a fake, so of course it couldn't be diagnosed.

"It's better to prescribe a prescription for rejuvenation and blood circulation, and let Madam take it to see if it improves." He said bravely.

Sheng Yonglan stared at the imperial physician for a while. "That's the only way?"

"Yes." The imperial physician did not dare to look up.

"...Let's do this first." For now, I can only try it out. If even medicine doesn't work, I'll think of other ways.

The imperial doctor broke into a cold sweat. "Yes, the lower official will order someone to bring the medicine, and I will take my leave first." After finishing speaking, he hurried out.

"How is Madam's situation from yesterday to now?" He asked the maid who served his wife again.

Several maidservants first looked at me and I looked at you, and finally one of them answered.

"When you come back to Master, Madam's condition is similar to yesterday, but... her appetite is very good, and she eats more than usual, which is unprecedented in the past."

After hearing what the maid said, Sheng Yonglan frowned even tighter. "When the medicine is ready, let Madam drink it, and don't let her run around." He said seriously.

It is said that Dongxiu is really stupid, she doesn't want to be locked in the room all the time.

She lifted the veil and shouted loudly, "I want to go out!"

The maidservants quickly held her down. "Ma'am don't get up..."

"Ma'am, lie down and rest..."

Dongxiu made a gesture to get out of bed. "It's stuffy in the room, I have to go outside..."

"You're sick right now, so stay in the room and go out when you're done." Sheng Yonglan thought to himself that it was impossible for his wife to do such a shameful thing as pretending to be crazy, so she really became stupid.

"I'm fine, I'm not sick!" She retorted immediately, if she couldn't even get out the door, let alone escape from the mansion.

In view of his wife's current physical discomfort, Sheng Yonglan thought for a moment, and had no choice but to give in and stop insisting.

"Okay, you can go out if you want, but you have to let these maidservants follow you." He didn't want his wife to have another accident.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Dongxiu immediately showed a smirk. "You are a good person……"

Hearing this, Sheng Yonglan was even more convinced that his wife was really stupid. For her, she had already received a heavy punishment, and she didn't want to worry about the past.

"Grandpa..." At this moment, the manager reported outside the door. "Master Shoufu posted a post to visit, and is waiting outside the gate at the moment."

Sheng Yonglan frowned, guessing the other party's intention. "Quickly ask him to wait in the lobby."

"Yes." The steward was ordered to greet the distinguished guests immediately.

He turned his attention to his wife who was still smiling foolishly. She lost her original charm, and her whole demeanor changed. It was really hard to imagine that the same face looked like a different person.

"If you want to eat anything, just tell them and let them prepare it." Sheng Yonglan instructed earnestly like an ignorant child.

"Okay, I know..." she said with a grin.

He suddenly felt helpless. "Although the marriage was arranged by the elders of our two families, no matter what kind of temperament you are, or whether you like it or not, you have to perform according to the agreement, but after getting along for the past five years, I can't help but think that what would happen if you look so stupid now? It's your nature, we husband and wife may be easier to get along with."

It was the first time Dongxiu heard that someone hoped that his wife was a fool, but when he thought of the brief time with the Mrs. Rong Guo in the carriage, his temperament was really unbearable, so she didn't think it was strange.

Therefore, before Sheng Yonglan left, he specially asked the maidservant. "If madam wants to leave the bedroom, you all have to follow closely, otherwise you are the only ones to ask if something happens."

The maidservants shrank their necks and naturally obeyed.

Seeing that the man finally left, Dongxiu let out a sigh of relief, at least the other party has not suspected so far, and the next step is to find a way to get rid of the maid who is following her and escape from here.

An hour later—

Sheng Yonglan sent the distinguished guests to the gate in person. Although he had no personal contact with Chief Assistant Qu, this person possessed supernatural powers and could predict the future. Even the emperor obeyed his words, and the other party made a special trip to visit and express condolences , showing considerable sincerity, no matter who caused the accident that day, it is no longer important, and I don't want to pursue it anymore.

And Sheng Yonglan also didn't say a word about his wife's "illness", no matter whether it was temporary or permanent, he didn't want to say anything, so he specially reminded the imperial physician, saying to the outside world that he was frightened and needed to rest.

After the distinguished guests left in the official sedan chair, the steward who was ordered to go to Xiaoliu Lane to arrest people happened to be back.

"Where's that Taoist priest?" Back in the study, Sheng Yonglan frowned and asked.

The steward handed over his hands and told the whole story. "Returning to the master, the young man went to the house where the Taoist lived, but he didn't see anyone, so he asked the neighbors in the neighborhood, and found out that the night before yesterday, he suddenly vomited blood at the mouth and fell to the ground. There is no suspicion of homicide.”

"Really dead?" This result was completely beyond Sheng Yonglan's expectation.

"The clerk in the yamen said that he died suddenly and suddenly, and the young one prudently asked the neighbors in the neighborhood to identify the body, to make sure it was the Taoist priest." The steward said cautiously.

Could it be that, as the servant girl heard, the harmful spell was cast, and the result was really retribution on the wife and the Taoist priest, one became a fool, and the other died suddenly?

Sheng Yonglan got up from the seat, put his hands behind his back, and walked a few steps, thinking that although the strange power is not believable, it is also too coincidental.

Could it be that it was really a punishment from God to make his wife change her face?

"Don't tell anyone about Madam's visit to the Taoist priest that day." He ordered immediately, but he didn't want any gossip to spread.

"Yes." The steward folded his hands and withdrew.

After the steward left, Sheng Yonglan sat down again, picked up the cup, and took a sip. If his wife's illness really couldn't be cured, he would take care of her for the rest of her life. This is the responsibility of a husband, but...

He suddenly had an idea that his wife's silly and frank appearance is much more lovable than before, and it may not be a bad thing.

"Big Brother! Big Brother!"

The second brother's cry came from outside the study, making him sullen.

As soon as the voice fell, a young man about 24 years old stepped into the threshold. His facial features were very similar to Sheng Yonglan's, but there was a little more frivolity between his eyebrows and eyes.

"I heard that sister-in-law has become a fool. Is it true?" Sheng Yongfan asked immediately. He had long disliked that arrogant woman and couldn't help gloating.

Sheng Yonglan didn't answer his question directly, but asked where he was going first. "I haven't seen anyone for the past two days, where have you been?"

"I... I'm looking for a friend." Sheng Yongfan casually said a reason.

"Friend?" Sheng Yonglan was very clear about his brother's preferences. "A friend who likes to play cockfights, or a friend who likes prostitution?"

"So what if we go to them?" Sheng Yongfan suddenly became angry from embarrassment.

"I have nothing to do all day, what's the proper way?" As the elder brother, he had to say a few words to teach him a lesson. "I don't even think about how old I am, I should find something serious to do."

Sheng Yongfan sat crookedly on the seat, and replied mockingly: "I am different from my eldest brother. I have no title or official position. Of course, I have nothing to do all day long. I don't play cockfights or sex with prostitutes to pass the time. I can still do some things." What?"

"What are you talking about?" Sheng Yonglan was furious, and slapped the seat handle with his palm.

"Am I wrong?" He still retorted loudly without remorse. "Brother was only born a few years earlier than me, and took away the title of Duke Rong. When my parents were alive, they always praised my brother, but now they are trusted by the emperor. I can't get any benefits..."

Thinking of the grievances he suffered since he was a child, everyone praised his elder brother in front of him, Sheng Yongfan was full of anger, and the countless contributions made by his ancestors earned him the only hereditary and irreplaceable title of "Rong Guogong" in the current dynasty. It is an incomparable honor, but this honor will never be added to his second son.

"You don't know how to reflect at all!" Sheng Yonglan angrily reprimanded.

"I'm not wrong, what is there to reflect on?"

"You!" He grabbed his second brother by the front and lifted him from the seat. "Before your parents died, how did you promise them? Have you forgotten all of them?"

"That's because they died soon, so I promised to change my past..." Before I could finish speaking, I was knocked down by an iron fist.

Several servants stepped forward to try to stop it. "God calm down..."

Sheng Yongfan stroked his swollen cheek with one hand, and the corner of his mouth was also broken. "Let him hit! Better kill me, lest I embarrass him..."

Hearing this, Sheng Yonglan's clenched fist was still trembling slightly because of suppressed anger, but he didn't make any more moves. "From next month, the monthly rate will be halved. Let's see where you get the money to play cockfights and go to brothels to have sex with prostitutes."

"You..." He couldn't help but glared at his elder brother angrily. "The title is yours, and you can receive salary and silver rice every year. Even the property left by your ancestors is yours. Living in this mansion, from top to bottom, everyone has to look at your face to live, you know How much do I hate you?"

These words were quite hurtful, causing Sheng Yonglan's face to turn pale suddenly, and his heart was stung, but he did not take back the decision he had already made. He would rather let his second brother hate him, and hope that he can get rid of his bad habit of having fun.

All he could do was turn around and walk away.

Thinking back to when my parents were still alive, the only younger brother who worried me the most was always telling me to take good care of him, but I really couldn't think of a better way to wake up the second younger brother.

Sheng Yonglan felt deeply ashamed of the expectations he had placed on his parents.
