Deceive Me, Marry Me Chapter 22 There Is Nothing To Be Afraid Of… Wait!!!

These two girls already waited outside due to the supervision of their parents. After hearing grandfather's voice, they entered the hall, holding hands. They knelt down, "Grandfather…."

"Now you know I'm your grandfather?!" Senior Master Sheng was furious and said without thinking, "You found a hooker to mess up my birthday. Who do you think I am? Your grandson?! Huh?! All I know is that girls like you will eventually marry someone. If we don't spoil you and when you get bullied after you get married, you probably won't even come back to tell us! Who knows, well, it turned out we spoiled you so much that you both started cheating your own family!!!"

Listening to this, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu were speechless. At the same time, tears came to their eyes, and they both said, "Grandpa, we know we have made a mistake!"

"I have no dignity left!" Senior Master Sheng kicked over the table and roared, "The whole Sheng Family's dignity has been lost because of you!!!"

Sheng Weiwu was still young. She had already been intimidated by her parents, and now she saw Senior Master Sheng was still angry with her. Gradually, she started to feel scared and couldn't help bursting into tears!

Seeing her cry, Sheng Weiqiao wanted to comfort her. However, her cousin was still crying after she comforted her for a while. Then, she thought that she had been unhappy ever since Sheng Shuihe came in. Now she also got her little cousin involved. All the guilt, grievance and anger came over her, and she pouted a while, and then began to cry too!

The cries of the two girls made the parents standing outside very anxious. Sheng Lanci, as Senior Master Sheng's favorite, stepped into the threshold without a word to, and said with a smile, "Father, just calm down a little! You know, they're just kids. How can a child not make a mistake? It will be fine just to scold them a few words. After you let them go, we will reason with them and make sure they don't make such a mistake again!"

"Reason with them?! Back then, when I scolded you, if you had dared to cry, I would have slapped you!" Senior Master Sheng was feeling kind of embarra.s.sed. He felt that it was normal to hang up his sons and grandsons and beat them, but he never did that to his daughters and granddaughters.

Then he saw his son come in. He quickly changed his target and shouted, "Look! How well you raise your children! Before I could say anything, they were already crying. If I say a few more words, will they kill themselves in front of me?!"

"Dad, today is your birthday!" Sheng Lanci said seriously, "We can't say such unlucky words…."

"You think I don't know what you mean!?" Senior Master Sheng grabbed a teapot, threw it in front of his feet and shouted, "Today is my birthday, I can't say anything unlucky, so, I also can't punish the kids, right?"

After Senior Master Sheng exposed what Sheng Lanci really meant, Sheng Lanci not only didn't feel awkward but also kept smiling, "Dad, they are your granddaughters! If you punish them too harshly, then you will be the one feel really bad, won't you? Also, they are just little girls. How can they endure any punishments? If you still feel angry now, how about hitting me a few times! After all, the daughter made such a big mistake because her father didn't teach her well, right?"

What he said kind of made sense. But it made the Senior Master Sheng laughed, "Hit you? You haven't practiced kung fu in years. How many punches can you handle? It's okay if you can't get up, but who's going to run the whole family?"

The first son knew well that this family needed him, and that's why he could say such a thing!

Did Sheng Lanci really think he is too old to a.n.a.lyze the meaning behind all this?!

"Dad, how about hit my third brother!" Sheng Lansi put his head into the doorframe and said triumphantly, "I mean, my third brother has nothing to do. Besides, in terms of what happened today, Qiao was not the one who planned the whole thing, and it was Wu did it to kiss up to Qiao. In my opinion, my third brother should take this responsibility alone!"

On the outside of the porch, Sheng Lanzi and his wife, Madam Xiao, glared at him angrily. Sheng Lansi drew back his head, and started back without any guilt, "What are you looking at?! Your daughter could talk a lot, but did she have to mention that I was beaten yesterday in front of all the guests?!"

As the girl's second uncle, he could not punish her for her ignorance. But he could get even with his niece's father!

"Come in, all of you!" Hearing their conversation, Senior Master Sheng's expression became terrible. He called all his sons and daughters-in-law into the room. Regardless of what old Madam Ming, who was the last one came in and was trying to say something, he pointed to Sheng Lansi and said, "Come here!"

Sheng Lansi felt something wrong, and said nervously, "Dad! It was a joke, and I do care about the relationship with my siblings so much…."

"I'm not talking about sibling relationships!" Senior Master Sheng saw that he still did not move, so he strode up to him, grabbed his second son who was trying to run, and slapped him in the face. This slap made Sheng Lansi feel dizzy. When he thought that he was experiencing the karma, he heard his father shout, "Even your seven-year-old niece knows how to buy a hooker in Tianxiang Lou. Look what you've done! Undermining our family's moral standards like this!!!"

If Sheng Weiwu didn't know about Tianxiang Lou, then even if she would like to set up her cousin, she might not be able to find the right person!

Then, the whole Sheng Family would not lose their dignity like today!

Either way, it was all his second son's fault!

"Dad, you can't blame the second brother for all this!" Senior Master Sheng thought this slap was very soft. However, Old Madam Ming was the one who helped her son apply medicine yesterday. Now she saw Sheng Lansi even couldn't stand up straight, and her eyelids jumped wildly. She opened her mouth, resisting the urge to speak for her son, and looked at Sheng Lanci as if seeking help.

Sheng Lanci comforted her stepmother by inclining his head in a solemn nod and came to stop Senior Master Sheng. He said sincerely, "Think about it, dad. No matter how terrible the second brother is, he would never talk about Tianxiang Lou or hookers, you know, these kinds of nasty words in front of children, right? After all, what I said to the guests earlier was the truth, too. There must be some dirty servants who chatted some nasty things in private. Otherwise, how could Wu know to hire a hooker from Tianxiang Lou?"

At this point, he saw Senior Master Sheng frowned thoughtfully. Then, Sheng Lanci glanced at Sheng Lansi.

Sheng Lansi quickly knelt down intentionally and cried, "Dad! Big brother is right! No matter how bad I am, I would never say those kinds of nasty things to my niece! It must be because I did not manage my servants well, letting these servants took advantage of me and made such a mistake today! If you want to punish me, I'll admit it. But if we don't find these servants and let them stay here, who knows how much trouble we'll have!"

"Now you understand that you need to manage your servants?!" Senior Master Sheng just calmed down a little bit after hearing what Sheng Lanci said. However, when he listened to his second son, his rage came again, and he lifted his feet to kicked him down. He shouted, "You always love to seek carnal pleasure everywhere, and now you expect that people around you have good qualities?! If there had been a good person, they would have been sent away because they told you to do good! De's biological mother is a cla.s.sic example!"

De, who was just mentioned by Senior Master was the son of Sheng Lansi's first wife, Mrs. Ao. His full name was Sheng Weide.

Back then, when Mrs. Ao left Sheng Family. Senior Master had beaten his second son so hard that he couldn't get out of bed for three months. Until now, when Sheng Lansi heard about his first wife, he wanted to shiver subconsciously.

"It's all because of you, you b*tch!" Sheng Lansi was so scared, but suddenly he started to hate his current wife, Madam Bai. He shouted, "Because you tried to act that you were such a poor thing and made plans to alienate the relationship between my first wife and me. She was such an observant lady. If she were still here, she definitely wouldn't let the servants talk bullsh*t and make such big trouble like this?!"

Sheng Family's three daughters-in-law were all here, and Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu were still kneeling there. As a mother, Madam Feng thought that how could they just leave?

However, the reason Madam Bai came here because she thought, "All of you took my trouble as a pleasure yesterday, and now it's my turn to come here to see your troubles, hahaha!"

But who knew that she was in trouble, too?

The worst part was that the person who got her into this mess was her own husband!

Madam Bai was so angry that she could hardly speak and said with hate, "Do you dare to say that you had no part in driving out your first wife?! Can you swear in front of the parents-in-law, eldest brother, third little brother and their wives?! No matter how good I was back then, I even wasn't able to enter Sheng Family, so how could I toss about Mrs. Ao?! Obviously, you are a person who loves the new and loathe the old, and now you use me as the cover! That little thing you brought home yesterday is the smoking gun!"

Sheng Lansi already felt regret after what he said. When Senior Master Sheng was young, he gave up his wealthy family and left his wife. His whole body was full of wounds because he gave half of his life to the north, the war, and the career. Senior Master thought he did his best to honor his parents and never hurt anyone. But his wife, Madam Ai, and his eldest son were the only two people he felt sorry for. No one would let him feel guilty. He also was a man of character, and the most annoying thing in his life was the ones who had no sense of responsibility! Not to mention Sheng Lansi did drive his first wife away, even if he did not, just a moment ago, he used his wife as the cover. Senior Master would not forgive him for that at all!

At this time, he listened to his wife's sarcasm, and he did not dare to counter. He just kneeled down on the ground and kowtowed to his father, and cried, "Dad, it is my fault! I swear I will change!"

Although he didn't fight with Madam Bai, Old Madam Ming who cared about her son so much already couldn't stand it anymore!

She quickly came to Madam Bai and slapped her twice with both hands, and shouted, "Son of b*tch! What kind of daughter-in-law you are! Not only did you not care that your husband was beaten but also added fuel to the fire! You really want to torture my son to death so you can remarry in your current ident.i.ty, huh?! How dare you to mention Mrs. Ao! Because you are such a foxy woman, my decent first daughter-in-law left her son mercilessly! If I had known you were such a wicked and heartless person, I wouldn't have let you in because you were pregnant!!!"

Madam Bai was completely dumbfounded and cried, "Why does mother think it's my fault! My husband scolded me first. Why don't you talk about his fault? As my mother-in-law, this is so unfair! How can you blame me for sister Ao's leaving?!"

"You are such a b*tch! Mrs. Ao was such a decent lady. How dare you compare yourself to her?!" What Madam Bai said meant that the reason why Mrs. Ao wanted to leave was also because Old Madam Ming spoiled Sheng Lansi. Old Madam Ming was so angry that she tried to hit her again, "My son was blind back then! Can't believe that he let you be my daughter-in-law!!!"

This time, Madam Bai dodged, and kept crying, "No matter how good that sister Ao is, she still left, didn't she? I am not as good as her, but I still gave Sheng Family a boy and a girl. I have managed the whole second branch for so many years, and I have never been lazy and always tried my best! If mom insulted me for feeling sorry for your son, then what do you think of my children?! Do you mean that the kid of sister Ao is a person and my kids are not?!"

"You…!!!" Although Old Madam Ming never liked Madam Bai, she quite cared about her grandchildren. That's why even though she hated that mistress of his son so much, she still agreed to let that mistress came in as his son's concubine. However, after hearing what Madam Bai said, she was suddenly speechless and had no idea what to say. If she continued to scold Madam Bai, it would affect her grandchildren; but if she didn't scold Madam Bai, she would still feel angry!

As she hesitated and didn't know what to do, Senior Master Sheng suddenly sneered and said, "Have you finished?! Would you like me to let the servants brew a pot of tea and bring some snacks so you can eat and drink to keep your energy for another fight?!"

"..." Old Madam Ming and Madam Bai suddenly were quiet, heads bowed, and didn't dare to speak.

Sheng Lanci and Mrs. Feng looked at each other, and both of them had no choices but to control the whole situation, "Dad, please calm down… So, what are you going to do with Qiao and Wu?"

The long-forgotten cousins had stopped crying and were staring at Senior Master Sheng with their big eyes, full of expectation.

Although Sheng Lansi and his wife and Old Madam Ming became Senior Master Sheng's punching bags, and plenty of servants become the scapegoat, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu still didn't get away with it. Two cousins both would stay in the ancestral hall for one month without any maids!

During the whole month, they not only needed to copy Four Self-accomplishment Cla.s.sics for Women but also could only eat rice with vegetables and tofu!

Apparently, this punishment could almost kill them as they had been spoiled for so long.

However, these two cousins were quite chill after they left. Sheng Weiqiao told Sheng Weiwu confidently after they went out, "Don't Worry! Our parents won't let us be wronged. Grandfather won't come to the ancestral hall every day, right? So, let's just stay in that ancestral hall for a month! Maybe grandfather won't feel that angry anymore in a month!"

Sheng Weiwu was also not afraid at all and nodded so hard, "You are right, second sister. We could also use this time to make a plan to kick that son of a mistress out!"

The two girls packed a few clothes and daily necessities and went into the ancestral hall. When they saw the person behind them locking the door, they were all dumbstruck, "How… how could you be here?!"

Sheng Shuihe stood outside the door and had changed into his usual clothes. Although the light was quite dim, it could not hide his pale face. His expression was animated. He smiled to them after hearing their voice, and shook the key in his hand, "Grandpa has asked me to supervise your grounding, and everything that comes in must pa.s.s my inspection…."

Then, he smiled more brightly after he saw two girls' expression going horrible, "Don't worry, my little sisters. I am such a generous brother, and I won't spit or put sand or c.o.c.kroaches or laxative into your food!"
