"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Xiaotao ran and jogged, and finally caught up with Sheng Hong and his daughter and returned to Wei Xiaoniang's yard.
"Little... little girl!"
Panting, Xiaotao held on to the door frame and reported blankly to Xiaodie and Wei Xiaoniang who were busy inside the door: "Xiao Niang, the girl said that the master is coming to our yard soon!"
Xiao Tao stupidly repeated what Xiao Minglan told her.
"What?"
Wei Xiaoniang was startled and quickly stood up and said, "What's going on?"
"Isn't the Lord outside, busy with the eldest girl's marriage?"
With the help of Xiaodie, Wei Xiaoniang arranged her clothes and asked Xiaotao: "Why do you have time to come to my place?"
"Well...this..."
After Xiaotao took a breath, she couldn't explain clearly. She just kept saying: "It's the girl who has made great achievements. The master said that she will be rewarded, and then they will come here together!"
"You little idiot! Why can't you speak clearly?"
Listening to Xiaotao's clueless words, Xiaodie didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
While she was helping Miss Wei tidy up the house, she also looked at the free time, poked Xiaotao's little head, and said angrily: "What great achievements did the girl accomplish to attract the Lord's attention?"
"Just, just..."
Unfortunately, before Xiao Tao finished speaking, there was a sound coming from outside the door.
"Aniang! Aniang! Daddy, come here to see you!"
Before anyone arrived, Xiao Minglan's voice could already be heard from a distance.
"hehe!"
With a burst of warm laughter, the door curtain was lifted, and two figures, one large and one small, walked in from the outside.
"Aniang!"
Xiao Minglan ran towards her daughter-in-law, head-to-head, with a look on her face asking for credit.
It's a pity that Wei Xiaoniang hasn't understood what happened yet, and she doesn't know the secret at all, and she doesn't care about it at this time. Instead, she hurried forward, bowed and greeted Sheng Hong.
This is the life of a concubine.
"Lord!"
"Oh! Be careful!"
Seeing Wei Xiaoniang struggling to salute, Sheng Hong immediately stepped forward, supported the already healthy Wei Xiaoniang, and said cheerfully: "I'm sorry!"
"You really didn't see it today!"
"This girl Ming'er really turned the tide and won back the face of my Sheng family!"
Sheng Hong was greatly relieved and excitedly described Xiao Minglan's majesty to Wei Xiaoniang.
And after hearing this, Xiao Minglan also puffed up her small breasts and waited "arrogantly" for her mother's praise.
However, how could Wei Xiaoniang, who was always cautious, be like this?
"Master, what did you say?"
Although she still didn't know the details of it, Wei Xiaoniang still had some flavor from it.
"As a child of the Sheng family, it is Ming'er's duty to be able to contribute to the Sheng family, so what is there to boast about?"
Wei Xiaoniang took Sheng Hong's robe and honestly expressed her thoughts.
Stay humble, keep a low profile, and don't cause disputes.
"Oh! You're not right!"
Sheng Hong was a little dissatisfied!
Children, as they are still girls, should be praised a lot and cultivate their confidence!
At this point, Sheng Hong is still willing to do this, and he can be regarded as a loving father.
Of course, this is if he can remember this daughter.
"If she has done meritorious service tomorrow, she has done meritorious service. How can she stop eating because of choking and wipe out her achievements because she is the daughter of the Sheng family?"
Sheng Hong took off his outer robe and sat down on the chair, ready to teach his concubine how to educate her children.
"And...huh?"
Only halfway through speaking, Sheng Hong suddenly felt that something was wrong!
Why is it so cold?
Turning his head, Sheng Hong looked at Wei Xiaoniang's room and finally noticed the difference.
It turned out that the charcoal fire was not lit.
"I'm sorry! Don't you have any charcoal fire in your house?"
Sheng Hong, who has always enjoyed the warmth, can no longer stand the cold!
Apart from the fact that it was decades ago when he was suffering from the poisonous woman with his little mother, and after he passed the Jinshi examination and took control of the Sheng family, where did Sheng Hong suffer like this?
Sheng Hong's words immediately shocked the two adults who had been busy in the room.
Xiaodie hesitated to speak but glanced at Wei Xiaoniang, as if she had something in mind.
However, Wei Xiaoniang glanced at him and signaled him not to mess around!
Then, she spoke herself: "Master, the weather is not bad, there is no need for a charcoal fire!"
"I originally planned to wait until the weather gets colder and then light a charcoal fire!"
Wei Xiaoniang smiled and told her "reason".
"Oh, I see!"
After hearing Wei Xiaoniang's explanation, Sheng Hong had no doubts. After all, in his impression, Wei Xiaoniang came from a small family, and it was reasonable for her to be frugal in life.
"But! I'm sorry!"
After thinking about it, Sheng Hong finally turned around and looked at Wei Xiaoniang who had been bending her knees to clean the cold air from her coat. She sighed and then said, "In the Sheng family, sometimes you don't have to be too economical!"
“When you should use charcoal fire in the yard, you still have to use it!”
"After all, even if adults can tolerate it, children can't!"
There was a hint of reproach in his words.
"Not to mention, you are still a twin!"
However, Sheng Hong didn't notice how angry Xiao Minglan looked when he said this.
"Yes! I remember what the Lord said!"
Wei Xiaoniang accepted it without any objection.
"Yeah! Just remember it!"
At this time, Sheng Hong's conversation suddenly cooled down due to the cold air, so after making a casual conversation, he wanted to leave.
"Daddy!"
When she saw Sheng Hong in the house and wanted to leave because of this incident, Xiao Minglan finally couldn't help it anymore!
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Sheng Hong looked back and saw Xiao Minglan's angry expression.
"Dad, there is no charcoal fire in our yard!"
Xiao Minglan was outspoken and complained directly to Sheng Hong.
"Tomorrow!"
Wei Xiaoniang was startled and quickly stopped her.
"Don't!"
Sheng Hong's expression froze when he heard this, he stretched out his hand to stop Wei Xiaoniang's words, then looked at Xiao Minglan and said loudly: "Ming'er, continue talking!"
After Xiao Minglan looked at her father who had a strange expression, she then looked at her mother who was shaking her head slightly at her. Finally, she gritted her teeth and insisted on filing a complaint!
"Dad! There is no such thing as a charcoal fire in our yard this month!"
"When Xiaotao went to ask for it, the people in the kitchen wouldn't give it to her at all!"
At this point, Xiao Minglan's eyes turned red and she seemed to be crying.
"And, look!"
Xiao Minglan walked to the closet in the house, opened it, and showed the contents to Sheng Hong.
"The clothes here are all sent by them this year. They are not new at all, but defective products from previous years. Some of the cloths even have bug holes in them!"
With a shake of his little hand, a piece of cloth full of insect holes appeared in Sheng Hong's eyes!
