Chapter 74: She Only Wanted to Recognize Her Relatives and Didn't Want to Change Her Surname?

  Meng Qiuyu's words were suddenly blocked and couldn't be spoken.

  Her heart was also like being pierced by a sharp needle, aching with a dull pain...

  "Are you... really... ill?"

  Her gaze fell on Sheng Jinxiu's face, and only then did she discover that Sheng Jinxiu's complexion was indeed somewhat pale and abnormal.

  "No!" But Sheng Jinxiu suddenly smiled and said: "I'm fine! Not a bit sick!"

  "Mother just said, to recognize Sheng Dieyi as your daughter? What's the difference between recognizing Sheng Dieyi as a daughter of the Sheng family?"

  "It's natural to make a distinction," Sheng Chengluo said: "The daughter of the Sheng family is the thousand gold of Yong'an Houfu, while the daughter acknowledged by her mother can only be considered as the daughter of the Meng family, isn't that right?"

  Meng Qiuyu's expression changed: "My daughter, is also your sister."

  "Nature is our sister," said Sheng Chengxin: "Wasn't a sworn sister also a sister in the past?"

  "Then, since you've acknowledged your mother as a daughter, shouldn't you also inform the ancestors of the Meng family and change your surname to Meng?"

  Sheng Dieyi suddenly became anxious upon hearing this.

  Yesterday, she was clearly faking a faint but ended up actually fainting, and after coming to, Meng Qiuyu directly told her that it's impossible for her to acknowledge her as the Young Miss of the Sheng family!

  She knew something must have gone wrong.

  Or perhaps it's those three Sheng brothers playing some kind of trick.

  It's more likely that Sheng Jinshu is behind this!

  She knew that no matter how she "pleaded", Meng Qiuyu would never agree to help her fight for the position of Young Mistress of the Sheng family again, so she could only retreat and ask Meng Qiuyu to acknowledge her as a daughter of the Meng family.

  Her idea was that since Meng Qiuyu had already married into the Yong'an Marquis's household and her natal family no longer existed, even if she only acted as Meng Qiuyu's daughter, she could only continue living in the Yong'an Marquis's household.

  As long as she can openly call Meng Qiuyu "mother" and the three brothers of the Sheng family "brother", then she is also a member of the Sheng family, and outsiders will still think that she is the second daughter of the Sheng family.

  That damned Sheng Chengxin actually saw through her plan, wanting her to change her surname to Meng?

  No! She absolutely cannot change this surname...

  "Change my surname to Meng? Well... that's only right..." Sheng Dieyi lowered her eyelids, pretending to be obedient and understanding: "It doesn't matter what my surname is, as long as I can be a daughter to Mother and repay the kindness she has shown me all these years..."

  "It's just that Mother's body is only slightly better, and the ritual of changing our surname to honor our ancestors is too complicated, I couldn't bear for Mother to be exhausted from handling it..."

  "Why don't we wait until Mother has fully recovered before discussing this?"

  The second prince had already promised her that at the spring banquet, he would take the initiative to propose to the empress dowager, the emperor and the empress to marry her.

  At that time, under the gaze of everyone, the feelings between them were deep and affectionate. She was also carrying the bloodline of the imperial family, so why would she be afraid of not getting a noble status?

  The second prince only needs to say that he welcomes the marriage with Sheng Dieyi, the young lady of Yong'an Marquis's manor, and who can still say that Sheng Dieyi is not the thousand-golden-girl of the Sheng family?

  "Mother's body is not good, so naturally we can't let mother work hard." Sheng Jinxiu pulled down the corner of her mouth and hooked up a cold and charming arc: "However, although Die Yi is not my sister in the Sheng family, after all, Mother is the mother of me and my brothers - I and my brothers don't mind helping Mother with this recognition and name-changing ceremony!"

  She slightly tilted her head and gave her brothers a glance: "What do you guys think?"

  "It's better to seize the day than wait for a good day, I think we should get this done today!"

  Sheng Chengxin was the first to understand Sheng Jinxiu's intention, and he stood up: "I'll go out now to invite a few elderly seniors with high prestige to come over as witnesses..."
