Sheng Luoan stood up and raised his eyes slightly, with a bit of coldness in his eyes.

Then he said without hesitation: "Grandpa, there is no need to trouble dad about this matter. I came here today just to tell you that I will not marry into the Gong family!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she added calmly: "Besides, I heard that my grandfather was the eldest daughter of the Sheng family and entered into a marriage contract with Mr. Gong, so my granddaughter felt that my grandfather should keep his promise!

"

After saying that, she looked at Mr. Sheng intently with meaningful eyes.

Liu Rumei sighed secretly.

This damn girl wants to threaten the Gong family's marriage in exchange for her status as the eldest daughter-in-law!

Thinking of this, she looked at Sheng Hongbo uneasily.

But Sheng Hongbo looked at Mr. Sheng.

Mr. Sheng did not expect that Sheng Luoan would know this detail. After a brief silence.

He said sternly: "If you hadn't done such a scandal and married into the Gong family, you would naturally be Keqing. Now Keqing has sacrificed himself for the sake of the reputation of the Sheng family and your reputation so that you can marry into the Gong family. You still have

What’s there to say!”

"Then I don't want my sister to marry me, so I should marry my sister! Anyway, in your eyes, my reputation has been ruined, and I don't care."

After Sheng Luoan said these words lightly, he sat down again, calmly picked up the tea on the table and drank it slowly.

Seeing that Mr. Sheng was about to have another attack, she added: "For the sake of the reputation of the Sheng family, I can marry him at my own cost, but..."

Sheng Luo'an cast his gaze on Sheng Keqing's mummified forehead, and finished the last sentence with a smile: "Sister, please give me your eldest daughter's identity first, and I will naturally consider it!"

After hearing this, Sheng Keqing immediately changed her expression, rolled her eyes, held her forehead and whispered softly: "My head hurts again, mother, please help me quickly, I'm afraid I'm going to faint."

As for Mr. Sheng, he was used to talking about the same thing, how could he endure being blackmailed by a little girl?

Then, he was so angry that he swept the teacup on the table to the ground with a "pop" sound.

He shouted like a barrage: "Sheng Luo'an, don't push yourself too hard. If you hadn't climbed into Gong Moye's bed, do you think the Gong family would have given up on the virtuous, kind, dignified and pleasant Ke Qing?"

"Now that the Gong family can agree to let you marry in Keqing's place, it is a blessing you have earned over several lifetimes. Don't be too ungrateful!"

"You have to agree even if you don't agree today, and you are not allowed to make any other requests!"

"I don't even think about it. Compared with Keqing, there is a huge difference between you and Keqing! One is on the ground and the other is in the sky...

When Sheng Keqing heard Mr. Gong belittle Sheng Luoan in such a way, her head suddenly stopped feeling dizzy, and her eyes filled with joy.

But he was afraid of being seen by Mr. Sheng, so he could only lower his eyes and try his best to hide the smile in his eyes.

Sheng Hongbo was frightened by Sheng Luoan yesterday, so now that his father has come forward, he wishes he could remain silent and stand by.

But Liu Rumei had to speak. As the matron of the family, she had to say something at this time to show her generosity and understanding as a matron.

"Father, please calm down and don't let your anger break your body. Second young lady, please give me some gentle advice from my wife."

Liu Rumei comforted Mr. Sheng in a gentle and kind manner.

Then, she turned around and said to Sheng Luoan like a loving mother:

"Second Miss, you don't know that the Marquis is a man who doesn't like women to be close to him. I heard earlier that he had a maid who served him close to him. Later, he had unwanted thoughts and got close to him one night.

Later, the Marquis sent someone to beat her half to death and sold her to a brothel."

Sheng Luoan raised her lips: "What do you want to express?"

Hearing Sheng Luoan call her "aunt" again, Liu Rumei glared at Sheng Luoan secretly, continued to smile, and said:

"It's not interesting. I just want to tell you that you climbed into the Marquis's bed and violated the Marquis's taboo. However, the Marquis still acquiesced in letting you in because he took into account the face of the Sheng family and your sister. Therefore, you should

Cherish this favor!"

At this time, Sheng Hongbo finally said: "Don't be ignorant of good and bad. When the Gong family refuses to let you in, it will be too late!"

Sheng Keqing also said hypocritically: "Don't worry, sister, if after you get married, the Marquis dislikes you and treats you badly, just go back to the Sheng family and the Sheng family will make the decision for you."

"Really?" Sheng Luoan snorted coldly and picked his ears in an inelegant manner.

He said casually: "Will the Sheng family make the decision for me? Forget it! If I really want someone to make the decision for me, isn't my maternal ancestor, the Su family, better than the Sheng family?"

Everyone: "..."

Just when the room was in embarrassment, a janitor ran in from outside the door and said anxiously that someone from the palace was announcing the decree and they were almost at the door.

Everyone was shocked!

The Sheng family was just a small family in the local area, and Sheng Hongbo was just a magistrate.

After thinking about it, they couldn't figure out why there was an imperial edict.

Liu Rumei was the first to react and said happily: "Sir, didn't you just go to Weizhou to provide disaster relief? Could it be that the Holy One thinks that I have made great achievements in disaster relief, so I want to promote you?"

When Sheng Hongbo heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh.

Yes, how could he forget this?

Relieving victims has always been a top priority, and although he did not live up to what Liu Rumei said, his achievements were outstanding.

But during the dozens of days in Weizhou, I worked diligently and never slacked off in the slightest.

Moreover, the governor was very satisfied with him and seemed to have mentioned that he would support him.

I never thought that this promotion would come so quickly!

Thinking of this, Sheng Hongbo suddenly swept away the shadow just now, and his face glowed red.

Mr. Sheng was also very happy, even though he had not yet seen the person who conveyed the order.

But it is certain that Sheng Hongbo is about to rise to great heights, and the Sheng family will follow suit.

"My son is going to be successful. Hurry, hurry, hurry, go change clothes and meet the decree."

"Come here, quickly place the incense table and call everyone in the Sheng family over!"

Mr. Sheng's face glowed with excitement and he excitedly ordered to come.

The imperial edict came too suddenly, and everyone was in a hurry.

When Sheng Hongbo changed into official uniform, Sheng Keqing added a hat and veil to herself.

Liu Rumei also tinkered with her makeup and returned, only to find Sheng Luoan still sitting motionless on her seat drinking tea.

The jasper-dotted emerald hairpin is still on the head, without adding any pearls and emeralds.

The eyes of Mrs. Liu and her daughter quickly flashed with disdain.

Sheng Hongbo looked at Sheng Luoan who was dressed simply, and his face became a little gloomy, but now it was too late to redress.

The person who announced the decree had already walked in.

Mr. Sheng led dozens of members of the Sheng family, including all the aunts, and hurriedly came forward to welcome him, and they all knelt down.

Everyone knelt down, and Sheng Luoan didn't want to stand out, so he just hid in the corner and knelt down perfunctorily.

Looking at the old Mr. Sheng in front of him, who was kneeling with his legs straight, he couldn't help but secretly complain: This ancient system of kneeling is really embarrassing. No matter how old you are, you still have to kneel when you should kneel.

Just as Sheng Luoan was wandering in his mind, everyone was standing upright to listen to the imperial edict.
