Chapter 92: It’s your own fault and you won’t survive

After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, Sheng Hong didn't see the other party say anything important. Then he drank a bellyful of tea and two packs of Yuqian Longjing tea leaves and left Shen's house.

It was exactly like that, he came inexplicably and left inexplicably. Sheng Hong was completely confused.

After getting on the carriage again and returning to the Sheng family in Jiying Lane, Sheng Hong wanted to go to Xiaodie's yard. After years of getting along with each other, Sheng Hong found that he really fell in love with Xiaodie.

What Sheng Hong didn't know was that a special guest had come to Wei Xiaoniang's courtyard and was whispering something to her.

"Sister, what are you thinking?

Your family’s eldest lady, Wang Ruofu, divorced her brother-in-law, Lord Sheng, a few years ago!

Why haven't you been made the first wife of the Sheng family yet?" Aunt Wei looked at her sister, Wei Xiaoniang, with a look of disappointment.

“This is my own business, sister.

Sister, please stop worrying about it!" Wei Xiaoniang said with a hint of helplessness and a wry smile.

"Sister, this is not your business!
We are sisters who share the same fate!

The Sheng family is now at its peak.

How come you don’t care at all? "

"Hey! Some things are hard to explain clearly!

The master has his own ideas!

Why should we force it?"

"Huh! Sister, you really think clearly!
You have been away from Yangzhou for many years and don't know the current prestige of the Sheng family in Yangzhou.

In Yangzhou, you may not know who the prefect or county magistrate is, but you will definitely know Sheng Hong from the Sheng family!"

"Huh? Sister, that's too much!"

"Even if I tell you, sister, you might not believe it!
The scholars in Yangzhou almost worship my brother-in-law as a god!

Those scholars and officials in the past were unwilling to even look at us farmers!
Now that they know the relationship between our Wei family and the Sheng family, they will bow to us when they see us!"

"Ah? Master is so highly respected by scholars?"

"So, sister, this is also for your own good!
Sister, I also heard that the situation in Yangzhou is the same in other prefectures of the Great Zhou.

If you can be promoted to the wife of your brother-in-law soon, you can truly become the mistress of the Sheng family!
Maybe you can get an imperial decree in the future!"

Just arrived at Xiaodie's courtyard, and before she could get intimate with her for long, she saw Fang Mama running in in a hurry, "Master, the old lady wants you to go to Shou'an Hall!"

"What's wrong? What happened?" Sheng Hong was a little confused because the old lady rarely took the initiative to call him to Shou'an Hall.

"Master, someone from the Wang family is coming!"

"Wang family?"

Sheng Hong knew that the Wang family that Fang Mama was talking about was Wang Ruofu’s parents’ home. It seemed like another night owl came into the house for no reason!
Sheng Hong arrived at Shou'an Hall with an impatient look on his face, and saw Old Lady Wang standing up with a smile on her face, "My dear son-in-law, you're finally here!"

"Madam Wang, I have divorced Wang Ruofu.

Your phrase "good son-in-law" is not quite appropriate."

"Huh? How can a good son-in-law be so heartless?

Even if you don't consider the fact that you and Ruofu have been married for many years.

It also depends on Ruofu giving birth to your children, so you should consider the relationship between husband and wife, right?"

“Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately!

There is nothing wrong with Wang Ruofu abandoning our Sheng family!
So it’s better for everyone to live in peace from now on!”

"what?
I really didn't expect that Lord Sheng has been blinded by high positions and generous salaries!

You've already forgotten your wife who shared your hardships!" The old lady of the Wang family looked at Sheng Hong with a sarcastic expression.

“Haha, Madam Wang is coming over today.

Isn't it just to make some sarcastic remarks about Sheng?"

"Hmph! Don't think you can get carried away just because you've been promoted to the Minister of Revenue!

You should know that all your fortunes now depend on my granddaughter Sheng Hualan!

Now the Sheng family doesn't even have a legitimate wife, and they don't have to worry about being laughed at by the whole of Tokyo Prefecture! "Haha, this is our Sheng family's private matter, so please don't worry about it, Madam Wang!"

"I came here this time to persuade Lord Sheng to stop and welcome my Ruofu back to the Sheng family!

Only with an official lady in charge can the Sheng family be kept safe!

Otherwise, all the children of the Sheng family will be affected.

I hope Mr. Sheng will take care of himself!"

"Haha, what Madam Wang said is correct!

Queen Ruofu is indeed a good wife and mother.

He has also made an invaluable contribution to the expansion of our Sheng family!"

"In that case, what are you waiting for, my dear son-in-law?
Hurry up and welcome Ruofu back to the Sheng family!" Old Lady Wang looked at Sheng Hong with joy, and then urged urgently.

"Haha, it's a pity that Wang Ruofu has a family as venomous as your Wang family.

For so many years, I have always regarded the Sheng family as the "nutrients" of your Wang family!"

"What's even more regrettable is that Wang Ruofu is a person without a strong opinion and has always been at the mercy of your Wang family!

They already have three children, yet they chose to divorce Sheng because of something seemingly insincere!"

"Misfortunes sent by heaven can be avoided, but those brought upon oneself cannot be escaped!
Everything that is happening now is your Wang family’s fault!
Don’t blame anyone else!”

"What? You... I hope you, Master Sheng, don't regret it!"

"Hmph! No need to bother, Madam Wang!
"Mother Fang, please show me around!"

"Yes! Sir! Everyone, please!"

Watching Old Lady Wang and her son walk away angrily, the old lady sighed helplessly, "Master, are you really not going to take the eldest lady back?"

"Mother, your son can't stand sleeping with someone who has different dreams from you!

How much money did Wang Ruofu give to the Kangwang and Wang family without our knowledge?

In the past, when she was in Yangzhou, she had partnered with Kang Wangshi to lend money?

Is this something that a scholarly family like us should do?"

"The Wang family has always regarded our Sheng family as their cash cow.

Lying on our Sheng family and sucking their blood!"

"In the past, I turned a blind eye to Wang Ruofu's kindness in expanding the Sheng family!

But I didn't expect that with our tolerance.

The Wang family is getting more and more aggressive and has even started interfering in the private affairs of our Sheng family!"

"Mother, I actually think things are pretty good now!

The children have grown up and are no longer the little kids who couldn't live without their mothers.

Gradually, everyone will have their own family and career!
There's no need to force yourself to endure this any longer!"

"Hey! It's up to you!

Anyway, as long as you have your own opinion, that's all!" The old lady agreed with Sheng Hong's feelings and complaints, because Madam Wang Ruofu and the Wang family were indeed very excessive.

In the original drama, Lady Wang Ruofu was always suppressed by Lin Qinshuang in the early stage, and she seemed like a "poor little thing", and was always pitied by the audience.

But in the later period, without the restraint of Lin Qinshuang, Madam Wang Ruofu completely let herself go. She was no longer satisfied with secretly lending money and supporting the Kang and Wang families, but instead did it openly with great fanfare.

In addition, the eldest wife Wang Ruofu had no opinion of her own and had always been controlled by Mrs. Kang and the old lady of the Wang family. In the end, she even did the stupid thing of poisoning her mother-in-law.

If Madam Wang Ruofu could always ensure peace and tranquility and occasionally give some preferential treatment and financial support to the Wang family, Sheng Hong would be able to understand. After all, they were all relatives and it was only natural for them to take care of each other.

But what she should never have done was to choose to divorce Sheng Hong and abandon the Sheng family when Sheng Hong and the Sheng family were targeted by Prince Yan and Prince Yong.

The Wang family is a huge burden, a vortex of desire that can never be satisfied. Sheng Hong would love to be able to get rid of them completely.

As for the former eldest ladies Wang Ruofu, Sheng Changbai, and Sheng Hualan, they are all very promising and will definitely not treat their mother badly.
