"This won't work, that won't work either. Are we just going to sit there and do nothing?" Sheng Hong finally became anxious after learning the attitude of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
"What can I do?" Wang Ruofu was also helpless and angry at the same time. He was angry not only for what Mo Lan had done, but also for Sheng Hong's favoritism and indulgence in the past. Dang Ruofu couldn't help but said: "Not yet. If the daughter you taught well is not good enough, then twist her hair and send her to a temple to be a sister-in-law! In this way, our family can also gain a reputation as a strict family!"
Outsiders only knew that Mo Lan fell down in Sanqing Temple and was hugged by Liang Han, and her behavior was a bit ambiguous. They did not know about the affair between the two, and they did not know that Mo Lan was even pregnant with Liang Han's child, and now the child was drugged and beaten If it was lost, the Liang family, the only ones who knew about it, would naturally keep this matter to themselves if they didn't want to hurt both sides with the Sheng family.
"No! Absolutely not!" As soon as Wang Ruofu finished speaking, Sheng Hong refused without even thinking: "That's my daughter! How can you be so vicious?"
"Am I vicious?" Wang Ruofu's eyes widened and he looked at Sheng Hong emotionally: "The official now knows that I am vicious. Why didn't the official know when he hooked up with that bitch Lin Sushuang? Call me vicious? Why didn’t the officials say I was vicious when Mo Lan and Liang Han were having an affair? Now..."
"Shut up!" Wang Ruofu's words hit Sheng Hong in a sore spot. He couldn't help but slap the case and shouted angrily.
"Mother!" Hualan next to her saw this and quickly grabbed Wang Ruofu. Sheng Hong blushed and was about to explode, but looking at Hualan, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, she was filled with anger but could not vent her anger.
Although Wang Ruofu's words were a bit unpleasant, they were not unreasonable. If he hadn't indulged Lin Sushuang and Mo Lan over the years, how could he have caused this situation today.
Ultimately, it's all your own fault.
Seeing the eldest daughter Hualan with red and swollen eyes and a tired face from crying, Sheng Hong gradually calmed down after being furious. He sighed, and the anger on his face turned into complexity again.
"Now that the matter has come to this, I can only go and beg the old lady!" The last thing Sheng Hong didn't want to disturb was the old lady. Because of Lin Sushuang and Mo Lan, Sheng Hong had been feeling guilty towards the old lady for so many years, but what happened At this point, Sheng Hong couldn't think of any other way besides begging the old lady.
Wang Ruofu snorted coldly and agreed with Sheng Hong's statement.
Naturally, Hua Lan couldn't come forward in this matter, so Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu had to go to Shou'an Hall to ask for an audience with Mrs. Sheng.
In the Shou'an Hall, listening to the complaints of Sheng Hong and his wife, Mrs. Sheng sighed, glanced at Sheng Hong with hatred, and said: "Don't worry, you two, I have decided to go find Mrs. Wu." I will definitely return without success, so early in the morning, I have already gone to find Marquis Ningyuan to help introduce me, and to Marquis Yongchang!"
"Zihou went to find Marquis Yongchang?" Sheng Hong was stunned, obviously not expecting this.
"Do you think that Zihou, like you two, hurriedly went to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion to find Mrs. Wu without investigating first?" Mrs. Sheng said in a calm tone.
Wang's face looked a little ugly, but she herself was a little unsure in front of Old Mrs. Sheng, let alone coming to ask the old lady for help with something shy now, so naturally she didn't dare to refute.
"What does mother mean?" Sheng Hong asked puzzledly.
Old Mrs. Sheng said: "You should know about Mrs. Wu and that boy Liang Han all over Tokyo to see each other last year!"
"Of course I know!" Wang Ruofu said: "Didn't I choose the right girl in the end?"
"It's not that I didn't choose, it's that I haven't had time to decide yet!" Mrs. Sheng said.
"What mother means is that the girl chosen by Mrs. Wu for Liang Han, her family was involved in the Ni Wang case?" Sheng Hong was smart and gave a guess instantly.
Wang Ruofu was instantly shocked. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and said in surprise: "The official is saying that the Liang family is involved in the case of rebelling against the king?" His face was full of disbelief.
Although the culprit has now been eliminated, everyone in the court knows that if it weren't for the trouble going on in the south, and the court was worried that the Khitans in the north and the Xixia people in the northwest would start a war, they would have started a thorough investigation of King Ni by now. case.
And as soon as the war in the south ends, this major case will definitely be brought to the forefront again.
"Mother!" Sheng Hong didn't know the reason, so he could only ask Mrs. Sheng: "What is going on?"
But Mrs. Sheng slowly ate the pear soup and said calmly: "I don't know the details very well. If you want to know, ask Zihou again when he comes back!"
This made the Sheng Hong couple extremely anxious. The curiosity in their hearts had just been aroused, but Old Mrs. Sheng only started and stopped talking.
"Stop standing around, sit down and eat a bowl of pear soup, and calm down!" Mrs. Sheng waved her hand, and the two female envoys immediately filled two bowls of steaming pear soup and gave them to Sheng Hong and Wang Ruo Eph.
"Thank you, mother!" The couple could only take the pear soup respectfully, thanked Mrs. Sheng, took a symbolic bite, and put it aside.
Mrs. Sheng herself, on the other hand, ate the pear soup slowly and leisurely, her expression calm and not at all anxious.
Wang Ruofu looked at Mrs. Sheng and winked at Sheng Hong next to him. Sheng Hong could only bite the bullet and asked, "Mother, did Zihou say when she will be back?"
Mrs. Sheng said: "Zihou didn't say when he would come back when he left. If you can't wait any longer, go back first! I guess Zihou won't be back for a while."
Sheng Hong and his wife were like ants on a hot pot at this time. They could neither sit nor stand. They felt as if they were fried in oil. They were anxious everywhere.
"It doesn't matter, let's wait! Just wait!" Sheng Hong was also helpless. It was impossible to ask people to chase Wang Zhong all over Tokyo. Don't let anything go wrong by then. On the contrary, Wang Zhong would be dealt with quickly. If the matter is disturbed, then the real thing is to steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Looking at the Sheng Hong couple who were sitting on pins and needles, the old lady was not sure how successful she would have been if she had done something else in the past. But now, regarding this matter, the old lady looked calm on her face, but she was also worried in her heart. Worried for Minglan, Hualan, and Rulan.
Time passed by, and Sheng Hong once again experienced the feeling of being detained in the palace and living like a year when the rebel king rebelled and forced the palace. Although it was a bit difficult, Sheng Hong had had personal experience after all, and the situation was slightly better. .
It's just that Wang Ruofu is suffering. He is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he can't do anything. He can only wait at home, for fear of accidentally involving his two daughters.
It seems that although Wang Ruofu is a bit upright and fiery, he has a good heart and loves his children very much.
If she insists on sending Mo Lan to become a nun, what can Sheng Hong do if she is unwilling to do so? Unless the marriage between Mo Lan and Liang Han can be settled and the rumors outside can be solved, Mo Lan will either be sent to become a monk or beaten to death in order to restore the family's reputation.
After all, this is a feudal society where reputation is more important than life.
In the TV series "Siyuan", the old lady said that she would beat Mo Lan to death. After being a good person, Mo Lan said back by saying "I feel bad for the child." It was a bit far-fetched.
You know, this is an ancient feudal society that regards honor and integrity more than life. In the countryside, those women who are shameless and commit adultery can be dealt with by the clan rules and regulations, not to mention the strict rules of the Sheng family. A scholarly family.
If he met someone who was upright and had no shame in his eyes, Mo Lan would be beaten to death with sticks.
At this time, Sheng Hong couldn't help but think of the conversation between Weng and his son-in-law that day after Wang Zhong checked Mo Lan's pulse.
It was precisely because of that conversation that Sheng Hong chose to remove the unformed fetus in Mo Lan's belly. After a few words from Mrs. Sheng, Sheng Hong did not let Lin Sushuang stay in Changfeng Enke. In the end, they did not wait until Mo Lan got married, but dealt with it directly.
If one day in the future, people find out that Chang Feng has a biological mother who encourages her daughter to have an affair, regardless of shame and family ties, and forces the family to help facilitate the marriage, what will be waiting for Chang Feng?
Even if this matter is not known to outsiders, if Chang Feng knows it, after Chang Feng comes back, won't he plead for Lin Sushuang as usual? How will Sheng Hong deal with himself by then?
If you still lift it high, put it down gently? How will Sheng Hong face Changbai and Hualan?
If this causes a rift between father and son, is that the result Sheng Hong wants?
I'm afraid that from now on, Sheng Hong will completely lose his majesty as a father in front of his children, and will never get the respect and love of his children again.
But if Chang Feng's pleas were ignored and Lin Sushuang was dealt with harshly, would it affect the relationship between father and son?
······
Sheng Hong only felt that his mind was in a mess and his heart was extremely upset. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel sad and regretful.
After all, Lin Sushuang was someone who had been in her heart for more than 20 years. For some reason, Sheng Hong suddenly thought of Lin Sushuang who was now in Zhuangzi.
As time passed by, the sky gradually became gloomy.
Just when the couple was about to completely lose their patience, Aunt Liu who was beside Wang Ruofu hurriedly came in to report, saying that Wang Zhong had passed the second gate and was heading towards Shou'an Hall.
Sheng Hong and his wife immediately stood up excitedly. They stood on tiptoe at the door and looked out. When they saw someone coming, they immediately sat back pretending to be sitting upright.
The couple's pretentious look made Old Mrs. Sheng angry and funny, but Wang Zhong had just walked in. Sheng Hong, who was sitting upright just now, immediately rushed forward eagerly, grabbed Wang Zhong's hand and asked How was the matter going? His expression and tone were all filled with anxiety.
"Fortunately, I have lived up to my fate!" Wang Zhong cupped his hands and said, "The Marquis of Yongchang has already agreed. Tomorrow he and Mrs. Wu will personally invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, and ask the father-in-law and mother-in-law to make preparations in advance."
"Zi Hou!" Sheng Hong grabbed one of Wang Zhong's arms with both excited hands, his eyes shining brightly.
"Is this true?"
"How dare you joke with your father-in-law about this kind of thing! It's just that Mrs. Wu had been in contact with Mrs. Jiang from the eldest uncle's family before, and she brought Liang Han to see the fourth lady from the eldest uncle's Qian family. My father-in-law must have something in his heart. It’s preparation.”
"It's actually Changjing Uncle Qian's family?" Sheng Hong was stunned for a moment. He was surprised at first, but after the surprise, a bitter look appeared on his face: "What state have they reached?"
"Father-in-law, don't worry. It's just that Mrs. Wu has fallen in love with Mrs. Qian. She told the Jiang family and was about to invite a matchmaker to visit her. But before she could grow up, Jingbo followed the rebellion and forced the palace. Mrs. Wu was also captured by Xiao Rongfei. He was detained in the palace, and the two families did not participate in the mutiny, and when Gu Hou organized the counterattack, the Liang family also played a role, so I think the Liang family should not have any involvement with the rebel king."
"But paper can't keep fire. This matter will eventually be revealed!" Sheng Hong naturally knew the secret here.
Wang Zhong cupped his hands and said, "Then it depends on what your father-in-law chooses!"
"Okay, okay!" Before Sheng Hong could say anything else, Mrs. Sheng, who was sitting at the top, spoke up: "Zihou has been running around all day for Mo Lan's affairs. This should be your Now that Zihou has taken care of this fatherly matter for you, you didn’t ask him to sit down and drink some water first, but you caught Zihou asking questions as soon as he entered the door.”
"Thank you grandma for your understanding. My grandson-in-law is really thirsty after coming all the way back!"
"Come here, serve tea!"
"Thank you grandma!"
The old man and the young man sang and harmonized, and they cooperated very well. Only Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they were extremely confused.
Seeing the ugly expressions on the faces of Sheng Hong and his wife, Wang Zhong suppressed his laughter and thought to himself: It's not like he wasted his hard work on this lap.
The next day, Marquis Yongchang and Mrs. Wu visited the house in person with their matchmaker. Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu stayed up all night and discussed the whole night, and finally decided to marry Mo Lan into the Liang family.
As Lin Sushuang said, to the outside world, it can be said that the two families have a marriage contract for a long time. Madam Wu was struggling with whether to choose the fourth wife of the Qian family or Mo Lan of the Sheng family, so she could not decide on Liang Han. If the two families get married, not only will the previous rumors be disproven, but the Liang family will also be spared a lot of trouble.
Naturally, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu didn't know that the woman named Chun Ge in Liang Han's family had given birth to a daughter for Liang Han.
By the time Chang Feng returned home from Gongyuan, Mo Lan had also come out of the ancestral hall and returned to Shanyue Residence. Mo Lan and Liang Han's wedding was scheduled for one month later, and the time was very tight.
As for Wang Zhong, he had just finished dealing with Mo Lan's troublesome matter, and Minglan and Wang Qier were summoned to the palace by an edict.
Ming Lan and Wang Qian'er went to see Empress Shen, while Wang Zhong was summoned alone by Emperor Jiayou in Funing Hall.
Emperor Xining was behind the desk, holding a memorial in his hand. At this moment, Emperor Xining's eyes fell entirely on Wang Zhong in front of him.
"Do you know that I have read this letter from you three times?" Emperor Xining looked at Wang Chong and said word by word.
Wang Zhong cupped his hands and said, "This is my honor!"
