Chapter 56 Do You Know? 10
Dr. Liu was puzzled!
Dr. Liu was puzzled!
But Dr. Liu was still very happy that the patient recovered.
"Congratulations, sir, your son is safe and sound."
With Dr. Liu's congratulations, the entire Sheng family regained its former vitality.
When Lin Xiaoniang saw that her son was really better, she immediately burst into tears of joy. When she heard him say that he was hungry, she quickly told Zhou Xueniang to go to the kitchen to bring him some food. She herself fluttered around Changfeng like a butterfly, looking at him from left to right, unable to get enough of him.
Sheng Hong, standing to the side, flicked his sleeves, blinked, and forced back the tears in his eyes. He gave Doctor Liu a large red envelope and politely saw him off.
"My son has survived a great calamity; he is sure to be blessed with good fortune in the future!"
Sheng Hong sighed.
When the old lady received the news, Madam Wang was also at Shou'an Hall. Upon hearing the news, her face immediately lit up with a smile: "Oh dear, I knew he was just a young boy, nothing would happen to him."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief. She was too old to bear the thought of outliving her son. Besides, Sheng Changfeng had been punished by being sent to the ancestral hall for trespassing in Shou'an Hall that day. If the matter were investigated, she would be partly to blame. If something really happened to Sheng Changfeng, her good son would probably come looking for trouble.
During the days that Sheng Changfeng was seriously ill, her heart was in her throat, and she only felt relieved after hearing the news of his recovery.
"Illness comes like a landslide, but recovery is slow and gradual. Changfeng has been seriously ill, and he needs to replenish his vital energy. I remember there are a few wild ginseng plants in the storeroom; take some to help him recover," the old lady instructed.
Mrs. Fang nodded repeatedly: "I knew the old lady loved her children and grandchildren. I'll pack the things and send them over right now."
The old lady turned around and saw that Madam Wang was smiling sincerely. She nodded in her heart: although her daughter-in-law was not very smart, her character was not bad.
“Madam has worked hard these past few days, take some back to replenish your energy.”
Madam Wang was even happier to receive her mother-in-law's praise: "Mother, you've been worried about Changfeng these past few days. I heard you haven't been sleeping well. You should take care of yourself. Besides, your daughter-in-law has everything you need, so you don't need to worry about me."
The two women exchanged compliments, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Shou'an Hall was quite harmonious.
On the original trajectory, at this time, Madam Wang and Madam Lin were fighting each other and both were injured. Minglan took advantage of the situation and took over the management of the Sheng family.
But now that Sheng Changfeng has recovered from his serious illness, Sheng Hong has long forgotten about the previous incidents, such as Lin Xiaoniang's illegal sale of land and Wang Da Niangzi's usury. With his son on the verge of death, he has no time to care about such things. Thus, both women escaped unscathed, and Wang Da Niangzi remains in charge of the household.
Sheng Changfeng smiled when he learned that Madam Wang was still in charge of the household. Pretending to be sick was something he had thought about carefully. His first reason was naturally to avoid being beaten. After all, Sheng Hong had given him a good beating back then, and he hadn't been able to get out of bed for several days afterward. He didn't want to be beaten again.
Secondly, it's to give himself an excuse for future changes. It's reasonable for someone who has experienced life and death to have some personality changes. Even if others suspect that his personality is different from before, he can have an excuse to shut them up.
The third and most important thing is to stop Minglan's steward.
Minglan has already begun to plan to avenge her mother, but she is hampered by her low status, lack of support, and reluctance to inform the old lady, which is why she has not yet taken action.
However, once she takes over the management of the Sheng family, it means she can mobilize all the servants and maids in the Sheng family. This provides her with great convenience to monitor and scheme against Lin Xiaoniang and Mo Lan later, so it is necessary to prevent all of this from happening.
However, the timing of his arrival was unfortunate, and there wasn't enough time to make any other arrangements, so he had no choice but to resort to this drastic measure.
Regardless of the circumstances, their son is dying. Even if Sheng Hong and the old lady are cold-blooded, they shouldn't think of punishing the eldest daughter-in-law and letting Minglan manage the household at this critical moment.
As he had predicted, things unfolded exactly as he had envisioned. With him in front of her, Madam Wang managed to disappear without a trace. After he recovered, Madam Wang had already taken the opportunity to dispose of all the money laundering. Now that several days had passed, the old lady and Sheng Hong were unlikely to bring it up again, and the matter was considered closed.
The benefits of feigning illness are enormous; he only slept for a few days and even gained eighteen taels of gold.
Yes! The weight of his gold-plating fingers has increased every day.
After being tempered in two worlds, he can now use his cheat ability to conjure up five taels of gold at once. For the past three days, in order to feign illness, he has been conjuring up an extra tael each day to keep his body in an extremely weak state.
Having achieved his goal, he symbolically took some tonics for a few days, rested for a few days, and then announced that he had recovered. He even happened to be there at Madam Wu's polo match.
Sheng Hualan had sent an invitation to the Sheng family before, but Sheng Changfeng was 'sick' at the time. Who would be so heartless as to think about going to the polo club?
Now that he has recovered in time, the polo club has been put back on the agenda.
Madam Wang felt that there had been some bad luck in the family lately, and the children were all listless. She thought it was time for them to go out and have some fun. So, apart from Changbai, who had already started working at the Hanlin Academy, the other four children from the Sheng family, Changfeng, Molan, Rulan, and Minglan, all went.
Sheng Changfeng wasn't interested in this kind of activity; he was only there to take the opportunity to go out and flirt with people from the Prince of Yan's side.
He has already decided to pledge allegiance to the Prince of Yan, so he should seize every opportunity to get in touch with the Prince of Yan.
And this polo club is a great opportunity.
Although the Prince of Yan will not attend in person, his queen or the families and children of people connected to him will come, and it will be easy to run into them.
Of course, he wouldn't rush to curry favor with the people on the King of Yan's side. What he should do is showcase himself, make an appearance, and let others have a general impression of him, and then gradually attract others to come to him.
Although he is in a hurry, he cannot be in a hurry.
Haste makes waste!
Even if he had already decided to support the King of Yan, he had to maintain his composure and make the King of Yan take the initiative to invite him, just like King Wen of Zhou invited Jiang Ziya. Only in this way would the King of Yan value him and he could reap huge benefits from the King of Yan in the future.
His opportunity to showcase his abilities came soon.
At that time, Sheng Changfeng was sitting in a place drinking tea. He was surrounded by sons of officials of similar age, and he quickly became friends with them.
These were naturally not the original owner's cronies. Those people had avoided him and cut off all ties with him ever since Sheng Hong was implicated and detained in the palace by Chang Feng. The current ones were all young masters from respectable and scholarly families.
