All of Yu Huangâs nervousness and uneasiness vanished under Mrs. Shengâs concern.
She calmed herself down and smiled at Madam Sheng. She shook her head and said, âThank you for your concern. It doesnât hurt anymore.â
Tears welled up in Mrs. Shengâs eyes. She said in a choked voice, âItâs good that it doesnât hurt anymore.â Afraid that Yu Huang would see her tears, Mrs. Sheng quickly turned around to wipe her eyes.
Sheng Yang winked at Yu Huang and lowered her voice to tell her, âYou know, my mother is your fan and cares about you a lot. In the past, when your movies were released, she bought more than 20,000 tickets for the entire city to watch!â
In the entire Yufu City, who didnât know that the Patriarchâs wife was Yu Huangâs fan?
Yu Huang stared at Mrs. Shengâs back with a complicated look on her face. This was not how she imagined the first time seeing her mother-in-law.
Not only did her future mother-in-law not despise her, but she also liked her a lot.
She was lucky.
When Mrs Sheng turned around to talk to them again, she had already calmed down. No one could tell that she had been crying just now. âAlright, come in and eat.â
Mrs. Sheng led the three children to the dining hall.
There was a courtyard outside the dining hall. Sheng Lingfeng was standing in the courtyard while talking to the servants. Hearing Mrs. Shengâs footsteps approaching, Sheng Lingfeng waved his hand to dismiss the servants. Then, he turned around and looked at Sheng Yang and the others. âYang Yang, youâre back?â
Sheng Yang jumped into Sheng Lingfengâs arms. âFather!â The cat squeezed into Sheng Yang and Sheng Lingfengâs arms and couldnât help but cry out.
Mrs Sheng hurried over to rescue the civet cat and said to Sheng Lingfeng, âYang Yang brought two friends back.â
As the patriarch of the Sheng Clan, Sheng Lingfeng was naturally imposing. His gaze swept over Yu Huang and Na Luo, and both of them felt their scalps go numb. Na Luo called him Patriarch Sheng cautiously and didnât dare to say anything else.
Yu Huang was not afraid of Sheng Lingfeng.
Sheng Lingfeng was around 160 years old this year. If one were to be serious, Yu Huang had lived longer than Sheng Lingfeng. In Yu Huangâs eyes, Sheng Lingfeng was just a junior.
However, this young man would be her future father-in-law.
Yu Huang accepted it.
She bowed to Sheng Lingfeng respectfully and said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, âGood morning, Patriarch Sheng.â Yu Huang continued, âWe have come to visit you suddenly today. Sorry for disturbing you.â
Seeing that Yu Huang was neither humble nor arrogant, the stern look in Sheng Lingfengâs eyes faded a little. He suddenly took a step back, bent down and gave Yu Huang a standard bow.
Yu Huang was shocked. âPatriarch Sheng, you
areâ¦â
Sheng Lingfeng lowered his head and said, âYu Huang, a year ago, you risked your life to save my daughter, Sheng Yang, in the Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion. This is a life-saving grace. I have to thank you!â
At this moment, Sheng Lingfeng didnât have the pride and dignity of a family head. He was just a father, an ordinary father who doted on his daughter like pearls.
Yu Huang saw the radiance of fatherly love from Sheng Lingfeng. She suddenly thought of the selfless Prime Master.
âPatriarch Sheng, Yang Yang and I hit it off. Iâm willing to save her. Please get up. Iâm just a junior. Iâm not worthy of this.â
Only then did Sheng Lingfeng stand up straight. With the attitude of treating a distinguished guest, he sincerely and politely made an inviting gesture. âPlease come in and
eat.â
Yu Huang and Na Luo werenât bashful or fussy. Both of them entered the dining room and sat at the dining table.
The dishes on the dining table were all very light.
The chefâs cooking was very delicious. Na Luo and Sheng Yang both had big appetites, so they finished two bowls of rice.
Sheng Lingfeng and Mrs. Sheng didnât eat much. Sichuan people didnât like non-spicy food, so they definitely couldnât get used to the light dishes. Yu Huang thought to herself, âLooks like I have to get used to spicy food as soon as possible. Only then can we get along as a family.â
After dinner, it was already dark.
Sheng Lingfeng had work to do and left after dinner.
Seeing that Yu Huang and the others were tired after a long day, Mrs Sheng said, âThe room is ready. Yang Yang, take Na Luo and Yu Huang to their rooms.â
Sheng Yang asked, âWhich two rooms?â
âNa Luo will stay in the guest room of your building. Yu Huang will stay upstairs.â Upon hearing this, Sheng Yang subconsciously said, âBut thereâs only one room upstairs. Thatâs my brotherâsâ¦â Then, Sheng Yang fell silent.
She understood now. Her mother wanted Yu Huang to stay in her brotherâs room.
No one had ever been allowed to enter her brotherâs room as they pleased. Since her mother had allowed Yu Huang to sleep in her brotherâs room, it must have been her brother who suggested this. When Yu Huang heard their conversation, she could only feign ignorance. Sheng Yang quickly regained her composure and said to Na Luo and Yu Huang, âLetâs go. Iâll take you to your room to rest.â
Sheng Yang first sent Na Luo to the guest room before bringing Yu Huang to the floor above. Once they were upstairs, Sheng Yang told Yu Huang, âThis floor is my brotherâs territory. My brother, afraid that Iâll ruin his things, doesnât even allow me to come up.â
âMy brother treats you really well,â Sheng Yang said jealously. âMen⦠once they have a wife, they donât care about sisters anymore.â
Yu Huang could not refute her because Sheng Xiao was indeed such a person.
The lock in Sheng Xiaoâs room was already unlocked. Sheng Yang opened the door easily and said to Yu Huang, âAlright, this is my brotherâs room. Sister-in-law, rest early!â
âDonât call me that.â It was fine if she called her that in school, but it was inappropriate for her to speak like that in the Sheng familyâs home.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Sheng Yang shut up, chuckled twice and ran away.
The bed in the room was an antique bed. Yu Huang had only seen it in television dramas. She curiously walked to the bed and sat down. In the end, she simply laid down.
Unexpectedly, the bed was very soft and the blanket smelled very good. It looked like a brand new blanket. Yu Huang was a little tired. Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone rang again. She opened her eyes and picked up her phone. When she saw that it was Sheng Xiao calling, she picked up the call.
It was getting dark on Sheng Xiaoâs side. He was sitting alone on a big tree. The blood on his face had been wiped away. He looked sharp and intimidating. Seeing Yu Huang lying on his bed, Sheng Xiaoâs eyes darkened. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse. âAre you in my bed?â
Yu Huang laid on the bed and stared into Sheng Xiaoâs deep and fierce eyes. She said, âWhat you said is ambiguous. I am in your bed, but not with you on the bed.â Sheng Xiao understood what she meant. âThat day will come.â
Yu Huang could not be bothered with him.
Sheng Xiao did not dare to continue this topic. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself. Seeing that Yu Huang was a little tired, he changed the topic. âWhat is your mission?â
Yu Huang told Sheng Xiao about her mission.
Sheng Xiao said frankly, âIt must be the dean who came up with such a bad idea.â
âI suspect itâs him too.â
Sheng Xiao continued, âThe Yin family is very protective of the red elm tree. You canât snatch the tree root, butâ¦â Sheng Xiaoâs eyes shone. He said, âWhen the red elm tree fruit ripens, the six families will send their disciples to the Yin family for a share. You must miss Mr. Lin a lot after not seeing him for a few months. Why donât you call him and invite him to visit Jingdu? He is a Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master. I think the Yin family will welcome him.â
Yu Huang remained silent after hearing Sheng Xiaoâs suggestion. She looked at him strangely. Sheng Xiao felt uneasy. âWhy arenât you talking?â
Yu Huang said, âSheng Xiao, you are so naughty.â
She liked young people who looked serious at first glance, but were actually listless and bad.
