Chapter 75: Bite the dog? Depreciate! Disgusting!

  "Whatever."

  Meng Qiuyu thought that Sheng Dieyi was genuinely willing to accept her as a daughter, and when she heard Sheng Jinxiu and Sheng Chengxin say they would help with the ceremony, she felt a little comforted.

  "Then go..."

  Before she could finish saying the last "please", her sleeve was grabbed by Sheng Dieyi: "Mother, I think the ceremony is not that important..."

  "It's crucial! How can it not be important?!" Sheng Chengluo reacted, pretending to be serious and saying: "You only became your mother's true daughter after changing your surname by worshiping the ancestors. Your mother loves you, but doesn't want you to suffer from being illegitimate."

  "I don't feel wronged!" Sheng Dieyi said anxiously.

  "Dieyi, you're a good kid," Meng Qiuyu said in a gentle tone: "But your brother is right, I won't let my daughter suffer, the sooner this matter is settled, the better..."

  "I said no!" Sheng Dieyi suddenly raised her voice, with a somewhat sharp tone.

  Meng Qiuyu was slightly surprised: "Dieyi, you... what's wrong?"

  "What's the excitement about, Butterfly Clothes Sister?" Sheng Jinxiu said calmly: "You tried every means to become Mother's daughter, now we've all let you do it, but you refuse to acknowledge your kinship and change your surname... Could it be that there's another purpose?"

  "What else could I possibly want?!" Sheng Dieyi raised her head to look at Sheng Jinxiu, but met a pair of eyes that were too bright.

  Bright, as if able to see through all her plots and schemes!

  Her heart suddenly sank, and tears rolled out of her eyes: "Sister, I think it's okay to have the ceremony after a while...I know because of me and Ye Gege's things..."

  "Enough!" Sheng Jinxiu's voice was slightly cold: "Sheng Dieyi, I've already given Yan Ziyen to you, don't come crying to me about your affairs with him again. This is my final warning to you!"

  "As for what you said about taking some time... it's naturally out of the question!"

  "The Spring Day Banquet hosted by the Empress Dowager is about to begin, and news has already spread that at this banquet, the Empress Dowager will be selecting consorts for the various princes. If your brother Yan truly has deep feelings for you and is willing to go to the Spring Day Banquet to seek a formal union with you..."

  "You... what do you want to do?" Sheng Dieyi hastily interrupted Sheng Jinxiu's words: "Do you want to ruin us? You..."

  "Don't worry!" Sheng Jinshu said: "We, the Sheng family, have always been kind and would not bite a dog even if we were bitten by one. After all, it's beneath us! And also too dirty!"

  "But if you and the Second Prince really can make it, an imperial edict comes down, saying that the young lady of Yong'an Hou Mansion is to be married to the Second Prince. But our Yong'an Hou Mansion only has one daughter, what will happen then?"

  "Sheng Jinxiu, you really still want to compete with me for the Second Prince!" Sheng Dieyi glared at Sheng Jinxiu with a vicious expression, her face extremely ugly: "But don't forget, you're already a withered flower and wilted willow! In the past when you were still pure, the Second Prince didn't like you. Now, you're just dreaming!"

  Sheng Chengyi suddenly flared up: "Sheng Dieyi, who are you calling a withered flower? You, who got pregnant before even getting married... also have the nerve to scold my sister as a withered flower?"

  "Ah! Trees have bark, people have faces, you're wearing a fancy dress. You want to climb high branches? I won't stop you, but if you dare use this disgusting method again, stepping on my sister's pain to get ahead, I absolutely won't let you off!"
