Chapter 233 It turns out
Sheng Hong was moved.
To be fair, if his children were ranked, his favorite was undoubtedly Molan, followed by his eldest son Changbai and eldest daughter Hualan.
Hualan is his first child. She has followed him through thick and thin over the years, being sent away, promoted, and getting better step by step.
Now that she is old enough, she is about to return to Beijing to become an official, and she is also going to get married.
The eldest daughter's marriage does affect the marriages of subsequent children in the Sheng family.
If she sets a good example, then the Sheng family will have a better starting point when they find partners for their children in the future.
The Bo Mansion is good.
But Earl Zhongqin was special, he was only half an earl, his benefits were limited and not enough to make Hualan make such a sacrifice.
With the connections he has built up over the years, it might not be impossible for him to find a stable family of high-ranking officials in the capital.
What is needed now is to find the weakness of the Marquis Zhongqin's Mansion and make them completely lose the opportunity and confidence to throw dirty water on the Sheng Mansion.
Lin Qinshuang has been humble and submissive for so many years that she has long been able to understand Sheng Hong's thoughts.
She snuggled in Sheng Hong's arms and said softly,
"Hiroro."
"I am dissatisfied and envious of Wang Ruofu for being your wife.
I also know that I am just a concubine.
But... in my heart you are my love, my only one.
Hello, your children are all well, and that makes me feel good too."
Lin Qinshuang understood after Molan's suggestion.
She wanted to be the high-class woman her daughter described. What was the point of being a favored concubine and dominating others?
To be the concubine who is praised by everyone, who makes Old Madam Sheng swallow her breath and praise her, who wins over everyone, and who will receive six filial gifts from children during the New Year in the future, then you can live a meaningful life!
A man's love is just false after all.
Beauty fades and blooms only briefly. Only by grasping the long-term future can she enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of her life and protect her children from being bullied.
Even if the Sheng family encountered an unexpected change, she would have the money to take care of Molan and not have to live the life she had in the past where she was hungry, had no dignity, and was looked down upon.
Therefore, the children of the Sheng family must marry well.
She has to contribute and make people appreciate it.
In this way, they can become Molan's helper.
……
But Molan, or rather Lin Xiaoniang's plan, was difficult for people to appreciate before anything happened.
Sheng Hong would mindlessly favor and believe Lin Qinshuang and rationalize all her actions.
But Mrs. Wang wouldn't do that.
The results of Sheng Hong's investigation came out very quickly.
What Lin Xiaoniang said was true, he had to make preparations for both scenarios.
The changes in Hualan's marriage and the ambiguous attitude of the head of the family soon made Madam Wang, who was very concerned about this matter, and her external brain discover clues.
After finding out about Sheng Hong's actions and extracting the three words "Lin Xiaoniang" from Sheng Hong's mouth, Madam Wang stormed into Lin Xiaoniang's residence in anger.
Seeing Lin Xiaoniang, who was tending to potted plants, wearing a gauze dress and looking leisurely and comfortable, she became furious and rushed forward and slapped her.
"Okay! You little girl Lin! You kept silent but now you come to harm my Hualan and make her break off the engagement with the Bo family, right?"
Mrs. Wang's impulsiveness almost scared Molan, who was watching the fun, down from the tree.
After fighting in the palace for a long time, she was a little uncomfortable when she suddenly encountered such a mudslide.
Molan in the room heard the noise, frowned and ran out, standing in front of the delicate girl who was slapped to the ground, and shouted loudly with some grievance,
"Madam, what are you doing?"
"If I have done anything wrong, just scold me.
Don't hit someone in the face. You went too far."
Madam Wang felt a little aggrieved by Molan's accusation.
In the end, she didn't have the heart to raise her hand and slap the sweetheart who had always called her "Auntie" since they were little.
But out of anger, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was breathing heavily, with a hint of accusation in his voice.
"you!
Molan, I have misjudged you all these years and have been so nice to you in vain!
Do you know what your little sister did?"
Facing Madam Wang's accusations and complaints, Molan nodded at first.
"know."
Just as she was about to continue explaining something, she heard Madam Wang burst into tears. She angrily shouted at Molan,
"Okay! Okay! Don't come to see me again! I don't want to see you!!
I will just pretend that I don’t have a daughter like you!”
After saying this, she grabbed Mother Liu beside her, covered her face with a handkerchief, and walked away heartbroken.
"..."
It can be seen that Madam Wang was so aggrieved that she felt like the sky was falling.
The master of the house wanted to "harm" her eldest daughter, the concubine in the family "made the move", and Molan, whom she loved and treated as her own daughter since childhood, was also "stabbed in the back".
They are all bad guys, all of them are bad guys.
Molan and Lin Qinshuang, who was lying on the ground and had not yet started her performance, looked at each other for a few seconds, then Molan stepped forward and helped her up.
"Girl, go back and apply some compress.
The lady was very ruthless and left scratches. You don’t have to worry about keeping evidence.”
Hearing Molan's words, Lin Qinshuang took a breath and exclaimed,
"What? Scratches?!"
"Yes, that's right. Two long ones."
“Ahhhh!!! Xue Niang!! Come quickly, come quickly, no, don’t come, go call the court doctor!”
Lin Qinshuang's scream temporarily put an end to this farce.
But after Mrs. Wang calmed down, she went to see Old Lady Sheng crying.
I'm afraid some trouble is inevitable.
However, Old Madam Sheng was not as naive as Madam Wang. She waited until Sheng Hong finished his work before calling him to ask questions. After listening carefully to the whole story and the information that Sheng Hong personally sent people to Bian Jing to find out, she fell into deep thought.
With the vision of a young lady from the Marquis's Mansion and her clear thinking at her age, Old Lady Sheng began to speak.
"I've heard before when I was in Bianjing that many officials in the capital make a living by borrowing money to pay off loans.
When the truth is revealed, I will go find a money bag and do a job that will solve the problem once and for all and get rid of the donkey after it has done its job."
After all, Sheng Hong had never been in the Beijing circle, and his family had never lacked money since he was a child. He lacked understanding of this dark side, and in the past he had only treated it as hearsay and never paid any attention to it.
"Mother, what do you mean...?"
"When the hole got bigger, they sent a man from the family to marry a merchant girl and use the girl's dowry to pay off the debt.
Once the debt is paid off, this family will be of no use to them.”
Sheng Hong took a deep breath. With the wealth of their Sheng family, combined with the dowries of Old Lady Sheng and Madam Wang, what Hua Lan could take away must be a beautiful wedding dress and a huge fortune.
"This Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion..."
"The Duke Zhongqin's Mansion shouldn't do anything too exaggerated. He has just been reinstated, so he doesn't have the capital to be too arrogant.
However, regardless of whether the Earl's Mansion has such an idea or not, now that the evidence is here, we can only take it one step at a time and make more preparations."
