Linxige
Lin Xiaoniang returned to Lin Qi Pavilion and looked at Mo Lan on the small bed. I thought to myself: How could someone as shrewd as the eldest lady give birth to such a soft and cute daughter.
Lin Xiaoniang: "No, we can't let it go, otherwise I will go to the eldest lady's place often."
At this time, Ju Xiang, who was standing next to her, said softly: “Miss, doesn’t the old lady want to raise a child?”
Lin Xiaoniang clapped her hands and said excitedly: "Yes, the old lady has the most strict rules, and she doesn't like Wei Ruixuan very much. Then I won't need to see the fifth girl often." As long as we don't see each other often, the relationship will not be there. Too deep. When the time comes for the master to spend more time with Mo'er, he may not be able to surpass the fifth girl.
Lin Xiaoniang smiled and said to Juxiang: "Go and have someone reveal it to the old lady."
Juxiang: "Yes, little lady."

Wei Ruixuan
The eldest lady asked in shock: "Oh? Is my daughter so powerful?" After all, she knew that the master liked Lin Qige the most. Now even if Lin Xiaoniang goes to the main courtyard to find him in person, it's strange that he can insist on not going.
Liu's mother said proudly: "That's not true, I care about the fifth girl." The fifth girl is so beautiful, it's normal for the gentleman to like her. Besides, apart from going out, the master has been watching over the fifth girl recently.
The eldest lady was very happy today and even ate a little more. After all, Shenghong liked Lin Qige the most in the past, which aroused Lin Xiaoniang's ambitions. He opposed her every day, and every time he preferred that side. But this time, she actually turned over with the help of her daughter, wouldn't she be happy?

"Where did this news come from?" the old lady asked calmly.
Nanny Zhang said directly without thinking: "It's not from Lin Qige."
Aunt Zhang: "Looking at her, Miss Lin is just trying to make a profit! Who doesn't know her little thoughts." The old lady had some disagreements with Wei Ruixuan because of the power of running the family, but she was not the only one. I can mix it in and use it. What's more, what the old lady hates the most is Lin Qige. Let the master spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, regardless of the concubine. The old lady attaches great importance to rules. It's just that as I get older, I don't like to take care of things much.
Old lady: "I am the one who raised Hua Lan. If I ask Rulan to come here to raise her, wouldn't it make me look very ruthless?"
Aunt Zhang: "If the fifth girl can be raised by your side, old lady, she will be lucky."
Old lady: "Has Sheng Hong been in the front yard lately?" He hasn't been to Lin Qige for so long. No wonder Lin Xiaoniang has set her sights on her.
Grandma Zhang was also puzzled: "No, it is said that she has not been there since the day the fifth girl was born."
Aunt Zhang: "Everyone in the house who has seen the fifth girl said that the fifth girl is very beautiful."
The old lady paused while holding the tea cup and said meaningfully: "If it doesn't look good, how can Sheng Hong be so rare?"
Aunt Zhang: "Yes, does the old lady want someone to bring the fifth girl over to meet her?"
The old lady looked at the current Sheng Mansion. Ever since Sheng Hong doted on his concubines and destroyed his wife like his father, she had already been disappointed with him, so she just stayed in her yard and didn't care about the affairs of the house.
And the fifth girl, who is still a little baby girl, can actually break Lin Xiaoniang's favor, which also makes her curious about this granddaughter she has never met.
Old lady: "Well, I want to meet you."

Mu Cang Zhai
Wei Xiaoniang is on the couch, embroidering children's clothes. Mu Xin was talking about the big and small things that happened in the house.
Mu Xin: "Tell me, my dear, are these five girls so powerful?"
After hearing what Mu Xin said, Wei Xiaoniang was a little surprised.
Wei Xiaoniang touched her pregnant belly and said with a smile: "Indeed."

The second day, night
forecourt
Sheng Hong hugged Ruan Ruan reluctantly and saw Ruan Ruan smiling sweetly at him.
Sheng Hong laughed angrily: "You little heartless kid, are you still laughing? Your father and I can't even play with you tonight." If he had known better, he would not have agreed to Lin Xiaoniang's visit to her yard tonight, but now it's good that he can't make any progress or retreat.
Sheng Hong carried Chu Chu out of the front yard and said, "Let's go! Dad will take you to Wei Ruixuan to find your mother."
Ruan Ruan was very curious about things in the house. In Sheng Hong's arms, she opened her big, round and bright eyes and looked around, which made Sheng Hong feel weak in her heart.
I don’t even want to go to Linqige anymore.

Wei Ruixuan
Mother Liu said in surprise: "Madam, the master is here with the fifth girl."
The eldest lady, who was originally lying on the bed, also sat up and asked anxiously: "Where are you?"
Mother Liu: "We're at the door."
Mother Liu knew that the eldest lady had been thinking about it every day since she met the fifth girl. If the eldest lady hadn't been in confinement, she might have gone to the front yard to snatch the fifth girl back.
Sheng Hong and Ruan Ruan arrived at Wei Ruixuan in a hurry. As soon as they entered the inner room, they saw the eldest lady's eyes shining brightly at the little one in his arms. At this moment, Sheng Hong felt that the eldest lady was trying to steal Ruan Ruan's attention from him. Suddenly I regretted coming to Wei Ruixuan.
The eldest lady has no time to pay attention to him, her attention is all on her daughter.
The eldest lady saw that the master was standing at the door without moving, so she said to Sheng Hong: "Master, bring Ruan Ruan over to me!" She knew that the master was going to Linqige tonight.
She might have been angry before, but now that she has this little girl, she thinks it's best for Sheng Hong to live in Linqige forever and not compete with her for Ruan Ruan. What's going on with a grown man raising a little girl?
Sheng Hong carefully placed Ruan Ruan in the eldest lady's arms, and helped the eldest lady adjust the gesture of holding Ruan Ruan, and then asked the young man to bring in the things Ruan Ruan used every day.
Sheng Hong: "These are Ruan Ruan's things."
When Sheng Hong left,
Kissed Ruan Ruan on the forehead.
Sheng Hong said reluctantly: "Wait until dad comes to pick you up tomorrow. You have to be good."
The eldest lady couldn't stand it any longer, so she said, "Master, it's already very late."
Hearing this, Sheng Hong glanced outside, then turned around and walked away.
The eldest lady complained to Liu's mother: "If it weren't for the fact that Ruan Ruan was just born, and the master was so reluctant to leave her just now, I would have suspected that Ruan Ruan is the one that the master likes."
Liu's mother also thought the same way, "Maybe the fifth girl was the person that I liked in my previous life." With how clingy I am, I really can't say for sure.
The eldest lady held her sweet and well-behaved daughter in her arms. Tease her, play with her.

Linxige
Lin Xiaoniang looked at the direction of the courtyard door several times, walked around the house, and asked Juxiang: "Why don't you come here yet?" She used to arrive before sunset, but now it's dark.
Juxiang said comfortingly: "Master, please send the fifth girl back to the eldest lady first. It may have delayed a little time, but she should be on her way here now."
Lin Xiaoniang: "Yeah." Lin Xiaoniang feels that the fifth girl is her nemesis. Ever since she got her, the master no longer likes to come to her place.
If this continues, won't her status in the mansion be the same as that of Miss Wei? This is not okay.
At this time, Lin Xiaoniang's mind flashed with countless strategies to keep Sheng Hong.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoniang saw Sheng Hong's figure and trotted out. The little bird leaned in Sheng Hong's arms.
Lin Xiaoniang asked aggrievedly: "Master, why did you come so late today?"
At this time, Sheng Hong was still immersed in his reluctance to leave his daughter, and he did not hear the grievance in her words. He said perfunctorily: "I'm a little busy today."
Lin Xiaoniang thought to herself: Are you too busy? Are you busy going to the eldest lady?
Even though Sheng Hong was perfunctory with her, Lin Xiaoniang would not quarrel with him because of this kind of thing. After all, she had been favored by Sheng Hong for ten years, so she was very good at judging people. Now is not the time for her to lose her temper and have fun.
Lin Xiaoniang heard that Sheng Hong didn't want to say more, so she changed the subject with a smile and said to Sheng Hong, "I haven't been to Lin Qige for a long time. Mo'er has missed you."
Sheng Hong loves children very much because of Ruan Ruan.
So he went with Lin Xiaoniang to the side room to see Mo Lan. After all, she was also his daughter and he loved her too. It was just a matter of more or less.
When Sheng Hong entered the room and looked at Mo Lan sleeping soundly in the crib, he didn't seem to have the same strong sense of responsibility as a father that he felt towards Ruan Ruan. This made him feel very ashamed of himself.
We are all daughters, how can we be biased? So Sheng Hong brewed some emotions, okay, no. Now he was convinced that he was indeed partial to Ruan Ruan.
Lin Xiaoniang watched the master look at Mo Lan, motionless, not knowing what he was thinking, and not speaking.
Lin Xiaoniang asked him doubtfully: "Master?"
Sheng Hong woke up with a start and said to Lin Xiaoniang, "I've already seen it, so it's better not to disturb her rest. After all, children have to grow."
Lin Xiaoniang felt a little angry when she saw that the master was about to leave after watching Mo Lan for a while.
Lin Xiaoniang: "Yes, Master."
Then Lin Xiaoniang took Sheng Hong back to the room.
That night, Lin Xiaoniang tried her best to serve Sheng Hong, making the master miss her body, and then resumed her unique love for Lin Qige.
Early the next morning
Sheng Hong went to Wei Ruixuan and took Ruan Ruan back to the front yard.

Linxige
“Bah bang bang!!!”
The tea bowl in Linqi Pavilion was shattered on the floor.
Lin Xiaoniang couldn't believe that a little baby girl who had just been born had actually made her lose the favor she used to have.
Although Lin Xiaoniang was not as favored as before, she was still the most favored by Sheng Hong compared to other courtyards.
——————————————
Three years later
Sheng Mansion, inside Wei Ruixuan.
Three-year-old Ruan Ruan was sitting in the main hall of Wei Ruixuan, eating small pastries prepared by Liu's mother. While eating, I listened to the goings on in the room.
Shenghong and the eldest lady quarreled again, and Ruan Ruan was used to it. After all, in the past three years, they had a small quarrel every two days and a big quarrel every three days.
