The Heavens: From Knowing Whether You Rule the World

Chapter 64 The Sheng family’s affairs are settled!

Shouantang

Old Madam Sheng sat in the main seat and sighed silently. Wang Ruofu, who was always active, also leaned back in her chair, looking sad.

Sheng Hualan was wearing a light blue blouse, looking a little tired and helpless; Hai Chaoyun's red robe looked festive, but somewhat out of place in this atmosphere.

Hai Chaoyun glanced at everyone and sighed slightly, "Since my elder sister has heard about it from Han Xiang's wife, then this matter must have spread throughout Bian Jing. We must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise people will gossip about it."

"Although what Miss Lin said is a bit infuriating, some of her words are indeed true. If this matter really gets to my brother-in-law and Prime Minister Han, it will be a huge commotion."

Hai Chaoyun was a little worried. She really didn't expect that her husband's family, which seemed to be a noble family, was so messy.

The father-in-law favors his concubine over his wife, the mother-in-law likes to show off her power, and the sister-in-law has an affair with a man outside her family in the hope of marrying into a wealthy family.

It’s difficult!

Fortunately, my husband is a man of upright character and kind-hearted, and my eldest brother-in-law is an honest official with a bright future, so I can live a stable life.

However, this matter really cannot be expanded.

If this matter were to happen anywhere other than the Sheng family, it would cause trouble and inevitably lead to gossip.

Therefore, even when her parents asked her about it, she firmly stated that it was not true.

Sheng Hualan also nodded repeatedly. This matter really couldn't be spread to her husband's family.

She truly knew how upright the Chu family's family tradition was. Back then, Madam Xu treated her eldest son harshly, and that was really a "cold"!

Although not letting my husband know this time is a bit deceptive, if this matter really gets to my husband's family and I can't get his forgiveness, I won't be able to live like this.

Wang Ruofu glanced around and suddenly remembered something, "Where is the master? Why hasn't he come yet for such an important matter?"

Last night, the heartbroken Sheng Hong slept in the study.

Wang Ruofu did not disturb him until her daughter came back, then she asked someone to call Sheng Hong.

"It's not good, it's not good!"

Speak of the devil, and here comes Wang Ruofu's maid, Mama Liu, who came with her as a dowry, quickly walking up from outside.

"What happened?"

When Hai Chaoyun saw that his father-in-law was not with Mother Liu, he felt something was wrong.

"Son-in-law, Son-in-law has asked someone to invite the master to have tea."

楚府
study
Chu Hong calmly brewed tea, a thin stream of water pouring slowly from the spout of the pot, making a gurgling sound. His every move was neither hurried nor slow, and he seemed particularly calm in this quiet room.

The sunlight slanted into the house, and the mottled light and shadows changed. His expression was also hazy under the shadows, and it was unclear whether he was happy or angry.

"Why is my father-in-law so nervous and restless?"

Chu Hong was neither happy nor angry. He quietly handed over a cup of tea and asked a question abruptly.

Sheng Hong's uneasy heart became more and more nervous and he became more and more restless.

"No, the decoration of my son-in-law's study is quite good, elegant and low-key."

Sheng Hong denied it immediately and changed the subject.

Chu Hong didn't say anything, but just glanced at Sheng Hong. Sheng Hong lowered his head guiltily, sweat poured down his cheeks, and he kept swallowing his saliva.

"Since my father-in-law mentioned the study decoration, why didn't he say anything?"

Chu Hong looked at Sheng Hong deeply and asked slowly.

"My dear son-in-law, I... I'm just a little overwhelmed."

Sheng Hong's heart was pounding, his intuition told him that his son-in-law might have known something incredible.

However, he did not dare to say anything, fearing that this was a trap designed by his son-in-law.

"Hot?" Chu Hong smiled gently, looking very understanding.

With this smile, Sheng Hong's panicked heart suddenly calmed down, and the hand holding the tea was no longer shaking.

Chu Hong stood up gently and searched in the study, rummaging through the drawers and looking left and right.

Under Sheng Hong's somewhat curious and panicked gaze, Chu Hong finally stopped rummaging through the drawers.

Upon seeing this, Sheng Hong's hands couldn't stop shaking.

Chu Hong smiled sympathetically, and handed a piece of white silk to Sheng Hong, "Father-in-law, please wipe your sweat. It's all down to your neck."

"A good son-in-law?!"

Sheng Hong's hand trembled slightly as he took the white silk, and sweat kept pouring down. He knew that his son-in-law knew about it.

Chu Hong ignored the trembling Sheng Hong, looking as if reminiscing about the past, "Back then, my stepmother Xu abused me, and the elders of the Chu family discussed and originally wanted to hang me with this white silk.

Unfortunately, I am a refined person, and this behavior is too vulgar. At my suggestion, Bai Ling was replaced with Feng Han. "

"My dear son-in-law, please listen to my explanation."

Sheng Hong's eyes suddenly turned red, his body went limp slightly, and he was half-kneeling, his hands and feet shaking uncontrollably.

Chu Hong still ignored Sheng Hong and continued to talk to himself, "Who would have thought that there would be a chance to use this white silk again?"

"My dear son-in-law, let me explain."

Sheng Hong used almost all his strength to speak, but his voice was not loud, not even half of his normal speaking volume.

Chu Hong did not stop, and continued quietly, "I thought one piece of white silk was enough for a lifetime. Who would have thought that there was only one piece of white silk, and it was missing."

"My dear son-in-law, please, please listen to my explanation!"

Sheng Hong couldn't bear it any longer.

"What does my father-in-law want to explain?"

Chu Hong finally stopped talking and glanced at Sheng Hong who was lying limp on the ground.

"My dear son-in-law, Hua'er has always been a good child! She grew up in a cold and bitter place. When I was an official in a rich place like Yangzhou, she had already married you."

Sheng Hong's face was filled with regret, and he spoke with tears and snot. "My dear son-in-law, Hua'er and Rui'er, Hua'er also gave birth to Rui'er for you, she is a good child!"

Sheng Hong wiped his tears, his eyes were red, and he spoke intermittently.

Chu Hong sighed slightly, said nothing, threw the white silk on the ground and strode out.

"Hua'er is my wife, and she is pregnant with a son for me. I will make the decision myself. As for Lin Qinshuang and Sheng Molan, let your father-in-law handle it himself!"

Sheng Hong's body couldn't stop shaking, and scenes of favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife in the past emerged one by one, and regret welled up in his heart like a spring.

About a quarter of an hour later, the limp Sheng Hong slowly regained his strength and slowly stood up with the help of a chair.

"Eh? Grandpa? Why are you here?"

Six-year-old Chu Rui was playing with a small wooden ball and accidentally ended up in his father's study.

"Grandpa, Grandpa is tired, come in and have a rest."

Sheng Hong tried hard to smile, walked up to him and gently touched his grandson's forehead, feeling a little relieved.

"Ah, then Grandpa, are you hungry? Father asked the family cook to learn the skills of the imperial chef some time ago, and the food he cooks is delicious!"

Chu Rui gently wiped the sweat off his grandfather's face and asked obediently.

"Grandpa, you're not hungry! How's Rui'er doing in school?"

Sheng Hong smiled bitterly and looked at his little grandson.

"Rui'er is really good at studying! He knows more than 3,000 characters and can memorize several books!"

"Haha! Great."

Sheng Hong nodded with satisfaction, then walked forward heavily.

The Sheng family’s affairs have come to an end.

Sheng Hong gave Chu Hong a satisfactory solution.

Chu Hong also comforted his beloved wife, but Sheng Hualan was actually a little uneasy at first.

But, Chu Hong went to her yard every day, so her heart naturally settled down.

Not long after, Sheng Hualan happened to be pregnant with her second child, and the anxiety caused by Sheng Molan in her heart naturally disappeared without a trace.

ps: Sniping in the middle door, becoming the protagonist of the cabinet and the queen mother, what do you think?
Then, please provide some awesome famous scenes for inspiration and I will see if I can arrange them.

You come up with the ideas and I write, all for the sake of the novel.

Tomorrow, Prince Yan will rebel, and it will happen to be on the shelves.

Such things will basically not happen to the Sheng family.

The main thing is that this is a novel about "Knowing Your Destiny". If it doesn't write anything about the Sheng family, it would feel like selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton.
