Chapter 2045 Let Out a Sigh of Relief

Juyu took a breath and deliberately lowered her voice and said:

"Miss, you mean that Miss Xia Ming wants to compete for that position? If she is on the wrong team, won't it affect the entire Sheng family?"

Midsummer Cicada smiled sarcastically and said:

"That's why she wanted to steal my opportunity to participate in the draft, and then use the connections left by my mother to find a good backer for herself."

After hearing this, Juyu felt that her anger was gone. She gritted her teeth and said:

"Miss, these mother and daughter are simply bullying others, you can't agree!"

"What's the point of not agreeing? As long as my father agrees, it will be done. Moreover, my marriage will ultimately need to be decided by the Marquis. They are not afraid of me not compromising."

After all, in this matter in her previous life, she finally compromised under the coercion and inducement of her father and stepmother. A sixteen-year-old girl could not resist the temptation after all.

Cornel said anxiously:

"Then miss, please think of a way. We can't suffer this loss in vain."

Zhuyu is very loyal to Shengxia Cicada. In her previous life, she was buried in a sea of ​​fire in order to fake her own death for her master. She is one of the rare people that Shengxia Cicada can trust, so she can safely tell Zhuyu some things.

"Juyu, please come over here and go do a few things."

"Yes, miss."

When Juyu saw that her young lady was successful, she immediately put her ear towards her. After a while, she was a little confused, but she still nodded and said:

"Don't worry, miss, I will definitely take care of it for you."

"Go ahead! Let Qingping serve me."

Juyu nodded, Fu Shen bowed and exited the room.

After a while, a round-faced girl wearing a cyan maid uniform entered the room, bowed respectfully to Xia Chan and said:

"Miss, the Laifu steward next to the Marquis has asked you to go to the front yard and said that the Marquis wants to see you."

"I understand. We have already packed everything. Please ask Luwan to come with me to see the Marquis."

"Yes, miss."

Shengxia Chan took a deep breath, whispered a few words to the two maids, and took them to see Marquis Yongxin.

Yongxin Hou Sheng Shichang was a man with little achievements. He became a Hou Ye because of the support of his ancestors. He himself was not good at literature and martial arts, so he spent a lot of time on playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting and romance.

He married Xia Chan's mother before, and she took good care of the Hou Mansion. A year after Xia Chan's mother passed away, Yongxin Hou remarried Xia Ming's mother. Anyway, he was a man who would not let himself suffer. , although there are not many concubines in the family, they are all as beautiful as flowers, allowing him to enjoy the blessings of everyone.

In order to make his good life last longer, he was persuaded by Xia Ming's mother to try to become a dragon.

Sheng Xia Chan had already smoothed out her thoughts on the way to Yong'an Hall, so when she saw Marquis Yongxin, she had a standard lady's smile on her face, and her etiquette was flawless.

"Xia Chan has met her father. Does the father summon his daughter to come here for something important?"

Marquis Yongxin was very satisfied with his eldest daughter's etiquette and said with a smile:

"Chan'er doesn't need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

"Yes, father."

Sheng Xia Chan sat at the bottom of the table obediently, but she was very sure that the current Mrs. Hou and Sheng Xia Ming were standing in the back hall and eavesdropped on their conversation.

"Chan'er, the decree for the draft will be issued in three days, you"

Midsummer Cicada didn't wait for Marquis Yongxin to finish what he said, and then said:

"Father, don't worry. My daughter will never cause trouble to the Marquis. Mother has taken care of it earlier and will give me advice on a more ordinary marriage."

Marquis Yongxin smiled awkwardly and said:

"Chan'er, that's not what I meant."

"What does father mean?"

Sheng Xia Chan looked at Marquis Yongxin with her bright eyes, waiting for him to speak.

Marquis Yongxin coughed slightly before saying:

"Chan'er, I'm afraid your marriage may have changed, and my father is ready to take a chance."

Midsummer Cicada pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but did not answer.

Marquis Yongxin could only bite the bullet and said:

"Chan'er, I understand your temperament. You are not suitable for living in the palace at all. As a father, I don't want you to be trapped in the palace for the rest of your life. So after thinking about it, I am ready to send Xia Ming into the palace, at least for her mother's family. I have some help."

Marquis Yongxin's words were silenced by the tears shed by the midsummer cicada.

"Father, I have lost my mother. I have never caused you any trouble in these years. Faced with Mrs. Hou's aggressiveness, I have retreated again and again. Now you even ask me to step aside from the marriage my mother has arranged for me. I still Let my mother go!"

After saying that, he covered his face and ran out of Yong'an Hall crying.

"Miss! Miss! Slow down"

"Miss, be careful, there is a lake in front of you."

Qingping and Luwan had been told by their young lady a long time ago, so when they saw the young lady hiding her face and running out, they immediately raised their voices to attract the attention of the stewards and servants in the mansion, and chased after Xia Chan while holding up their skirts.

Midsummer Cicada ran all the way to the landscape lake in the mansion and shouted:

"Mother, my daughter is here to accompany you!"

Then he jumped in with a "pop" sound.

"It's not good! The eldest lady threw herself into the lake!"

"Someone come quickly! Save the lady!"

It immediately alarmed the entire master and servants of the Hou Mansion.

Ripple held the crystal ball in her hand and watched the Midsummer Cicada making a fuss in the dream she had constructed, with a smile flashing in her eyes.

If it were her, she wouldn't choose to do this, but Shengxia Chan was also aggrieved and could vent her resentment by making a scene, so she didn't stop her, and even added fuel to the fire, letting the old man in the back house of Yongxinhou Mansion Fengjun was also alarmed.

Marquis Yongxin was also shocked by the action of his always obedient eldest daughter. It took him a long while to come to his senses. He immediately ordered the maids in the mansion to go down to the lake to save people, while he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

The Marquis’ wife gnashed her teeth in anger and cursed secretly:

"I really underestimated this bitch. She actually did this!"

Sheng Xiaming, who was standing aside, also said with a cold face:

"Mother, what if she died?"

"It's better if she died. It's just right to send you to the palace for selection. I'm afraid she won't die. Even if she can't enter the palace, she won't let you get what you want. She may even trip you up, which would be bad."

The Marquis' wife has a clearer view of the problem.

"Mother, please think of a way. I want to marry the eldest prince. The son of a minister is not as high-ranking as the prince!"

"Don't worry, my son. I will make her agree. I will definitely not send her to the palace. In this way, her marriage will be in my hands. I will use this to talk to her. If she is smart, she will know how to choose."

Sheng Xia Chan made such a fuss for a purpose. In addition to venting her anger, she also wanted to alarm her grandmother in the backyard. Although the other party may not be on her side, she will appease her for the stability of the Yongxin Marquis's mansion, so that she will have bargaining chips.

Fortunately, although her mother left, she still left some capable assistants for her, otherwise she would be trapped in this small backyard and could not do anything.

Sheng Xia Chan pretended to faint after being rescued by the mother-in-law. Yongxin Marquis and his wife were called to the backyard to answer, and Qingping and Lu Wan stayed by her side.

Sheng Xia Ming rushed into Sheng Xia Chan's boudoir with an angry face, pushed Qingping aside and pulled Sheng Xia Chan's arm lying on the bed.

Sheng Xia Chan suddenly opened her eyes and took back her arm, causing Sheng Xia Ming to stumble and fall. Then she turned sideways and threw him to the ground, and began to slap him left and right. (End of this chapter)
