Deceive Me, Marry Me Chapter 18 The Influence Of A Good Model

Old Madam Ming was not the biological mother of Sheng Lanci, and she behaved obediently facing Senior Master Sheng, but the couple still paid much respect to their stepmother.

Since it was the Old Madam's invitation, Madam Feng was in no mood to talk more to change her daughter's view now. She replied instantly, "I'll go immediately after changing my clothes!"

As she walked behind a screen to change clothes, she asked Xiquan, "Did you know what happened to the second branch?"

"It was said that the mistress of the Second Master came to give vent to her dissatisfaction with much noise. Second Madam was furious and was now asking for a divorce in front of Senior Master and Old Madam," Xiquan said with a sigh, "After knowing this, the Senior Master called the Second Master over to beat him to death. Old Madam feared that Senior Master lost control of the force of beating in fury. And Eldest Master was asked out just now, so she had no choice but to ask you for help!"

Members of the Sheng Family knew that Senior Master Sheng only adopted advice from the eldest branch and his family members when he was in fury.

Other family members, including Old Madam Ming, had no such ability.

Since Sheng Lanci was not at home, Old Madam Ming was afraid that her son would be beaten badly, so she must seek help from her eldest daughter-in-law.

Madam Feng said with a sigh, "Tomorrow is father's birthday, and there is also a Young Lord visiting. Things happening under such circ.u.mstances, it's no wonder that father was so furious."

Since mother-in-law sent someone to call her over, she couldn't stand by and do nothing. So, after making her clothes in order, she went out.

"Wait!" Sheng Weiqiao shouted. She was sulking and pouting. Seeing her mother leave without her, she jumped up and exclaimed angrily, "I will go with you!"

"Second Miss, the chestnut cake had been steamed and would be served soon!" Xiquan said, trying to discourage her from going along. Such things were not proper for a girl being unmarried to look on.

Thinking for a while, Madam Feng allowed her behavior, saying, "You can see how helpless a woman is without the support of parents' family!"

"Grandfather beat my uncle. Why was aunt helpless?" Sheng Weiqiao couldn't believe what Madam Feng said, "Since my grandfather was a man handling things with justice, would it do good to the mistress?"

Hearing that, Madam Feng laughed without replying. She said, "Then, go with me and take a look!"

Before entering the Jinxue Hall, they heard sounds of screams and howling, as well as the sound of sticks falling on the body. Old Madam Ming cried, "Beat him harder! Try to beat two of us to death!"

"Dad, what are you doing?" Madam Feng walked faster into the hall after hearing that. She rushed to the side of Senior Master Sheng, and took the stick in his hand, saying, "Tomorrow is a good day for you. If my second brother gets injured by you, how will he offer birthday congratulations to you?"

Senior Master Sheng was still angry. If the one stopping him was not Madam Feng, judging by his facial expressions, he must push him or her aside!

He gave Sheng Lansi a hard kick and said angrily, "What a disgraceful man! Last time he drove his wife away, I told him that if it happened again, I would beat him to death! This time, even a child was brought here! He did nothing but seek pleasure every day, bringing disgrace to our family. Are there any reasons for him to stay in our family?"

His voice was higher and higher, and he howled at last. Old Madam Ming was too frightened by that to continue crying.

"Dad, don't be so angry," Madam Feng said softly, "You are the pillar of our family. If you get mad, we can't come up with a good idea. I just came back, unaware of what 's going on. Why not talk about it in the hall? Let's listen to my second brother's opinions, maybe there are some misunderstandings."

"That little girl looks exactly like him. There are no misunderstandings!" said Senior Master Sheng. Not to make her eldest daughter-in-law lose face, he turned back to the hall.

Old Madam wiped her tears. With no time to show her appreciation for Madam Feng, she called some servants to support Sheng Lansi to stand up and checked his injury.

Having not checked clearly, Senior Master Sheng yelled angrily, "Come in! The unfilial b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!!"

Old Madam Ming dared not to continue checking. She ordered someone to support him to walk into the hall.

Most members of the Sheng Family were in the hall. Madam Feng suggested his father-in-law drink a cup of tea. After drinking, he was calmer. Then, someone talked about the event.

It was not a long story. Five or six years ago, Sheng Lansi had a mistress secretly, and a girl was later delivered. The girl and the mistress lived in the suburban area, not far from here.

Everything had gone well in the past. n.o.body knew what the mistress was thinking about. Today, she suddenly came to the family and asked a legal status for her daughter!

After listening, Madam Feng was a little angry.

The second branch had kept the girl for five years, and she was five years old now. Not earlier, not later, but they came today! They must have known that Sheng Shuihe entered the family, and wanted to try the same!

Madam Feng persuaded her daughter to accept her brother just now, saying that a brother with good ability could protect her well. However, Sheng Shuihe cannot be an excuse by the mistress of the second branch to enter the family!

"Dad, this is the affair of the second branch. Since you and mother are all here, it is improper for me to interrupt." Madam Feng said, holding her anger inside. Glancing at Sheng Lansi, she said slowly, "I propose only one request: you shouldn't get angry, because your health is of greatest importance."

Senior Master Sheng said, "Don't worry. I can slash the b.a.s.t.a.r.d to death without getting angry!"

"The b.a.s.t.a.r.d" had been beaten badly just now. Hearing that, he almost cried, saying, "Dad, I honestly didn't know why that woman got mad! If I had known this would happen earlier, I would not have made her trouble us! I would have already beaten her to death! I was wronged!"

That was his real thinking. Elder brother was a capable man, while he was not competent. In addition, to play with women and drink wines, there was no amus.e.m.e.nt for him. Thus, he did not lack women and daughters. If he knew earlier that the mistress would be troublesome, he wouldn't make them live a decent life with good food and clothing. Now, they were pushing him to the living h.e.l.l.

Feeling that Madam Feng had no intention of helping him, Old Madam Ming had no choice but to say something for her son, "Such a woman with disgraceful behavior in our family surely cannot stay, or the second branch would behave worse. However, that girl was the descendant of the Sheng Family…."

"So what?!" Senior Master Sheng turned his head, flying spittle on her face, "This b.a.s.t.a.r.d you gave birth to was also our descendant. It was better that he was fallen to death!"

In the face of many juniors, she was scolded by her husband like this, so, humiliated Old Madam became bold. Patting on the desk, she screamed, "Then you fall him to death now, as well as the two out of the door! Even if the second and third branch all died, you still have the eldest branch, right?!"

After saying this, a kind of tension filled the hall. Senior Master Sheng was furious. He grabbed a teacup and smashed it in front of Old Madam Ming, saying with sneering, "Yes, I have partiality to the eldest branch! Anything wrong with that?! These years, if it were not for the eldest branch to feed you rubbish, could you live a decent life like today? Don't you know who I would like to hand the family business to?! You are capable of nothing but jealousy! Blame me for partiality? In my view, I treat the eldest branch so badly! Never had I heard that brothers after getting married must be fed by their eldest brother!!!"

As a matter of fact, after saying those, Old Madam Ming felt regretful immediately. She knew the reason for Senior Master Sheng's partiality to the eldest branch. Besides for Madam Ai, both of the couple are with good ability. As was said by Senior Master Sheng indeed, the whole family was fed by Sheng Lanci these years!

If Senior Master Sheng didn't have a partiality to his eldest son, what would Sheng Lanci think about that?

"Mother felt bad because of the second brother's injury. Dad, don't take those words seriously. "Madam Feng broke the silence. Kneading the forehead, she added, "It is time for dinner and there is a guest in our family. We'd better handle this as soon as possible. What's your opinion, dad?"
