Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 39 Return

Chapter 39 Return
On the other side, Meng Yue, who had been pretending to be a baby, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whoo~"

"It seems that my older brother is a good person!"

Feeling the firm embrace around him and Sheng Changbai's instinctive act of shielding him from the strong wind, Meng Yue made a judgment about him.

Meanwhile, now that she was in a safe situation, Xiao Mengyue began to mentally review the whole incident.

"Judging from what just happened, the one who attacked my mother must be this Lin Xiaoniang!"

Because Meng Yue was not fully conscious when he was in Wei Shuyi's womb, he was often in a state of half-sleep and half-awake. Therefore, although he had some understanding of the outside world, he was not clear about it. He only knew that his mother seemed to be a concubine in a wealthy family.

Moreover, she was a concubine who was not particularly favored.

In this era, his existence would be considered as belonging to the category of illegitimate children that had been heard of before.

Oh, right, besides this information, another thing Meng Yue knew was that he had an older sister, the sixth sister his second brother had mentioned before.

Apart from that, Meng Yue gained nothing else.

However, Meng Yue was ultimately a wise man, and he had already made up his mind about everything that had happened before.

Adding to this the look in Lin Qinshuang's eyes that he had caught the moment he came out, Meng Yue understood the cause of this matter even more clearly.

Whether it was for the sake of vying for favor or for some other reason, in essence, it was just a struggle for interests. His existence must have been blocking the path of certain people, which led to this tragedy.

"I'm still too weak!"

Meng Yue clenched her little fists, recalling the words her mother said at the last moment in the delivery room. She understood what her mother meant; she simply wanted her and her brother to learn to be patient!
"Mother, you're right!"

"Now all we need to do is one word: endure!"

In his heart, Meng Yue had already acknowledged Wei Shuyi's status and started calling her "Mother".

"What is a person? It is someone who endures!"

"A wise man keeps his talents hidden until the right time to act."

"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan..."

"..."

Meng Yue closed his eyes, repeatedly reciting famous quotes he had heard before, trying his best to hide his true emotions.

After a long while, Meng Yue finally adjusted his mindset.

"In any case, my safety should be guaranteed for now!"

Recalling the confrontation between Sheng Changbai and Lin Qinshuang, Meng Yue concluded, "It's a pity that my sister fainted due to excessive grief. Otherwise, staying by her side would have been the safest option."

"As for what will happen in the future, we'll have to wait for the person in charge of the mansion to return and see his reaction before making a decision!"

Because of the series of events that happened after he traveled through time, coupled with his past life, Meng Yue inevitably felt extremely insecure!
This feeling intensified, especially when he witnessed his birth mother, Wei Shuyi, suffering a difficult childbirth due to these underhanded tactics.

Perhaps due to overthinking, or perhaps because he was just born, Meng Yue's eyelids began to grow heavy. In addition, Sheng Changbai kept running around outside the swaddling clothes, and the rhythm of rocking him up and down was like a cradle, making Meng Yue's eyelids even heavier. So much so that in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Meng Yue fell into a deep sleep.

However, it's understandable, since Meng Yuefang was just born. Although he has some extraordinary abilities, he is still a newborn and needs to rest.

……

When Sheng Changbai returned to his room, he immediately summoned his servant and gave him an order.

"Go outside and find the head nanny. Ask her to find a good family and invite a familiar lady to come to our Sheng residence to be a wet nurse for a period of time so that she can feed Xiao Qi."

Xiao Qi actually refers to Meng Yue, because he is the seventh child in the Sheng family. In addition, Sheng Hong has not yet returned and his name has not yet been decided, so Sheng Changbai temporarily calls Meng Yue Xiao Qi.

There was inevitably a hint of affection and intimacy in his words. After all, Meng Yue was Sheng Changbai's first time with him.

Do not!
It wasn't exactly the first time; it was more like the clearest experience he could remember involving an infant.

Sheng Changbai is a kind and loving person with a gentlemanly demeanor. At home, he respects his parents and loves his siblings. Everyone who sees him praises his conduct.

In addition, as he grew older, Sheng Changbai inevitably developed a fondness for newborn babies, whether they were close to him or strangers. Even small pets like cats and dogs would receive his affection when they were first born.

Not to mention his younger brothers who shared the same bloodline.

Of course, Meng Yue's good looks are also a small factor, Sheng Changbai swears!

Among the Sheng family's children, the eldest sister, Hua Lan, has already reached marriageable age. She is fifteen years old this year and has already made a promise to her fiancé. She has completed the betrothal ceremony and will be marrying into the Yuan family of the Earl of Zhongqin in Tokyo in a few days.

Sheng Changbai is three years younger than his eldest sister Hua Lan, and is twelve years old this year, just the age of Wu Xi. Sheng Changfeng is the same, three years younger than his second brother, and is only nine years old this year.

As for Mo Lan and Ru Lan, they are the same age, both six years old, with only a few months between them.

Sheng Minglan is the youngest, only four years old this year. Of course, there is an even younger one now, namely Xiao Qi, Xiao Mengyue, who was just born.

"Yes, Second Young Master!"

The servant respectfully responded and immediately ran out to find an experienced matron to handle the matter, not daring to delay for even a moment.

After all, everyone in the Sheng family knew that Sheng Changbai was the most valued son of their lord, Sheng Hong.

Moreover, he was the eldest son of the legitimate wife, and his abilities and studies were both quite good.

Do not!
Both were excellent, so the servants, who were most adept at reading the wind, naturally dared not disobey him or act recklessly.

After all, he will be in charge of the Sheng family from now on.

……

Meanwhile, Sheng Hong and his wife, who had already bid farewell to the Wang family in Runzhou and returned home, also received a message from their family on their way home.

"Lord!"

"Wei Xiaoniang...is dead!"

"What!?"

Sheng Hong had just opened the carriage door and leaned out when he heard his servant speak like this.

"What did you just say?"

"Excuse me... what happened to her?"

Sheng Hong didn't believe what he had just heard and asked again.

"Lord!"

The messenger didn't dare to look up, keeping his head down as he quietly repeated the message.

"My lord, Consort Wei... died in childbirth!"

"Hurry! Get home quickly!"

In the end, Sheng Hong only managed to say this one sentence before collapsing back into the car with a livid face.
