As soon as Li Hao came back, before he could sit down safely, Mrs. Wei hurriedly came over.
At first, Li Hao thought that he had been out for a long time and was anxious to come over to greet him, but who knew that Mrs. Wei opened his mouth and said, "Something big has happened to the Sheng family, do you know?"
After hearing this, Li Hao guessed something, but he had been busy these days and really didn't get any news.
Then he said: "I have been busy in the army these days. Where did I get the news about the Sheng family? What happened to them is related to cousin Minglan."
When she heard that Li Hao didn't know anything, Mrs. Wei was a little hesitant and didn't know whether she should tell Li Hao.
Seeing this scene, Li Hao said, "What are you doing, mother? If anything happens, just tell me. Maybe I can help. And there is something you can't tell me."
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Wei said, "While the official was seriously ill, the fourth girl from the Sheng family, Mo Lan, had an affair with Liang Han from the Earl of Yongchang's palace.
In the end, Sheng Hong personally caught the girl and took her back to the Sheng Mansion, but now there has been no news for several days. "
When Li Hao heard that this was indeed the case, he didn't take it to heart at first. After all, Minglan solved the matter himself in the plot.
But then I thought about it, something was wrong with this matter. According to the drama, this matter was reported by Lin Sushuang, and many people in Bianjing City knew about it.
But I have been in Bianjing these days, and I am still in the well-informed Imperial City Si Yamen.
If there were such rumors among officials, there was no way that I wouldn't miss it.
Unless the situation this time was different from the one in the play, Lin Sushuang and Mrs. Zhou were not asked to let the news out.
Then why didn't word get out? The one who has changed is my own family. Compared to the drama in which the Wei family went to Beijing alone.
The manpower and material resources that Wei can use now are not the same as in the play, but if Wei is involved, he suddenly asks himself what his purpose is.
You must know that Mrs. Wei has always wanted her to marry Minglan. Normally, there is no need to tell her about this unless something goes wrong.
Thinking of this, Li Hao first asked: "The affair between Mo Lan and Liang Han must have something to do with my mother and cousin."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei immediately retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's obvious that Mo Lan doesn't follow the rules of women and looks down on herself. What does it have to do with us?"
Li Hao explained: "I have been in Bianjing City these days, and the news in the market has not stopped, so I have never heard anyone talk about it.
I think that when the incident happened, the Sheng family had already blocked the news, and cousin Minglan might not be able to leave the house.
So if this matter has nothing to do with the mother, how could the mother know the news? "
Seeing that Mr. Wei was still hesitating, Li Hao continued: "Today, my mother suddenly came to ask about this matter, so there must be something wrong.
In this case, mother, please tell me quickly. If there is really a problem, I can fix it in time. "
After listening to Li Hao's words, Mrs. Wei first defended Minglan: "This was not your cousin's original intention. During the time when you were not at home.
In order to avenge your aunt, your cousin made many plans and even let Mo Lan hurt herself. I even went to the Sheng family to ask for an explanation.
But even so, Sheng Hong only asked Mo Lan to kneel down in the ancestral hall, but never severely punished Mo Lan or Lin Sushuang.
….
After seeing that this method really didn't work, she happened to find that Mo Lan was obsessed with the wealth of the Earl of Yongchang and wanted to marry into a high family.
So he thought of a way to add fuel to the flames, and sure enough, with the help of Lin Sushuang, Mo Lan secretly went out to have an affair with Liang Han.
Then he planned to let Mrs. Wang see this, and then Sheng Hong personally caught the girl and fucked her. "
Hearing this, the whole process went very smoothly, so I asked, "Isn't this great? What's the problem now?"
Wei explained: "Everything went smoothly before. Just like what your cousin said, Sheng Hong values the rise and fall of his family and doesn't care about internal strife in a good house. Only the core interests can move him, so he came up with this idea." idea.
But the people behind were
After the Sheng family took him away, there has been no movement. I can't contact Minglan, and now I don't know the situation of the Sheng family. "
Hearing this, Li Hao probably knew. It seems that because he didn't spread the matter to the outside world, Sheng Hong is afraid that he still has some illusions, so he is not so decisive in dealing with things. It seems that he needs to be pushed by others. .
So Li Hao said: "So mother wants me to come up with a solution."
Wei said: "That's what I mean. This matter is risky after all. When your cousin proposed it, I didn't agree with it. It was your cousin who insisted that I reluctantly agreed.
Now this matter is unresolved. If the news leaks out if it continues, what will happen to your cousin's reputation?
It just so happens that you are back now, and I also want to see if there is anything you can do. "
After hearing this, Li Hao said, "There's no need to worry too much, mother. I'll go to Sheng Mansion later."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei urged Li Hao to leave quickly. Seeing this, Li Hao was helpless, so he agreed to change his clothes and leave.
Afterwards, Li Hao deliberately changed into official uniform before getting on the carriage and heading to Sheng's house.
When Li Hao saw Sheng Hong, he was also shocked. He saw that Sheng Hong's hair suddenly grew on his temples, and he seemed to be seven or eight years older than when he first saw him.
Sheng Hong first asked: "Did my nephew come here today for something? If it's not something urgent, you can come back some time later."
Now I have some trivial things to do at home, so I'm afraid I won't have much time to receive you. "
Li Hao replied: "Uncle, I came today because I heard that something big happened in Sheng Mansion. I didn't believe it at first, but looking at my uncle's appearance now, it seems..."
Hearing this, Sheng Hong was shocked, but he thought he had never spread the news.
So he asked without changing his expression: "Is there something going on in my house that made you come here in such a hurry, without even changing out of your official uniform?"
Li Hao first looked back at his surroundings and said, "Please ask your uncle to withdraw everyone so that I can speak, otherwise it will be really detrimental to the Sheng family's reputation."
Sheng Hong was really panicked now, and quickly asked everyone to go down, and asked Dongrong to lead people to surround the yard to prevent others from approaching.
When no one was around, Li Hao said: "Uncle should also know that I have been in the Imperial City Department some time ago, and I heard something there in the past two days.
It is said that the fourth girl of the Sheng family was having an affair with Liang Liulang of the Earl of Yongchang Palace in Sanqing Temple. "
Of course, what Li Hao said was a lie. Sheng Hong couldn't find the Imperial City Division to verify the truth anyway, so that was not just letting Li Hao talk nonsense.
….
However, Sheng Hong didn't know that this was a lie, so when Li Hao said this, he was so excited that he didn't grab the tea cup in his hand, causing it to fall to the ground and break.
The servants outside heard the commotion inside, fearing that something had happened, and rushed in quickly.
After seeing this, Sheng Hong reprimanded directly: "Everyone, get out. Anyone who dares to come in without my order will be beaten to death."
Many servants hurriedly retreated, waiting for everyone to leave.
Sheng Hong quickly asked: "This matter has spread, how many people know about it?"
Li Hao said: "That's not true. After I heard the news, I had someone block it.
Anyway, this is not a confidential matter. I still have some respect in the Imperial City Department, but everyone in the Imperial City Department can know it, and people outside will always have the opportunity to know it.
It was because of this that I hurried over to Sheng Mansion. "
Sheng Hong really had no doubts about what Li Hao said. After all, the Imperial City Department was responsible for supervising Bianjing and was always well-informed.
In addition, for this reason, Sheng Hong could not imagine how the news was leaked.
So Sheng Hong thanked him: "Thank you for this, my dear nephew. Otherwise, if the news got out, I, the daughter of the Sheng family, would really have no face to see anyone."
Li Hao said: "I should do this, after all, cousin Minglan is also a member of the Sheng family.
That is to say, I haven’t had time to tell my mother about this matter. Otherwise, given my mother’s love for cousin Minglan, I’m afraid she would have come a long time ago.
The mansion is prosperous. "
The main purpose here is to remind Sheng Hong to deal with the matter as soon as possible, otherwise Minglan will be implicated, and it will be difficult for his family to deal with it.
After reminding him, he continued to ask: "In addition, I don't know how uncle dealt with it, so as not to leave any trouble."
At this time, something was obviously wrong with Sheng Hong's face, and he hesitated and said nothing.
Li Hao pretended to be surprised and asked, "Isn't it possible that my uncle hasn't dealt with it yet? What's wrong with this?"
This kind of thing can only be cut quickly, but my uncle didn't dare to delay it like this, once outsiders knew about such a thing.
Not only has the reputation of the whole family been ruined, but also the Sheng family is a high-ranking civil servant, and you and Chang Bai are also high-ranking officials in the court. If you really want to ruin your reputation over this matter, I'm afraid the entire court will be laughed at. "
After hearing this, Sheng Hong expressed his position on the spot: "Don't worry, my dear nephew, I will never tolerate this matter and will definitely punish the culprit severely.
However, I hope my nephew will not tell anyone about this. I would like to thank my nephew very much. "
Li Hao replied: "Don't worry, of course I know the importance of this, but after all, it concerns cousin Minglan, and I can't hide it from my mother."
After hearing this, Sheng Hong said, "Why don't we wait for two days and let's talk about it after the matter is settled. What do you think?"
Li Hao readily agreed to this, and then prepared to get up and leave.
But before leaving, he spoke to Sheng Hong again: "Uncle, don't blame my nephew for being too talkative. Miss Lin in your mansion taught these two children.
Last time, brother Chang Feng almost killed his uncle by talking nonsense in the restaurant, and now Mo Lan did such a thing again.
After dealing with Mo Lan this time, I think it would be better for my uncle to discipline Brother Chang Feng himself.
….
Otherwise, if Mo Lan acts recklessly, the most harm he will do is his own life. If Brother Chang Feng makes a mistake, he may harm the lives of the whole family. "
After saying this, Li Hao didn't even look at the ugly expression on Sheng Hong's face, and went straight back to his carriage and went back home.
On the other side, after Li Hao left, Sheng Hong went to Shou'an Hall and told the old lady what Li Hao had just said.
After hearing this, the old lady said, "Brother Hao is helping us for Minglan's sake."
Sheng Hong said, "My son also knows this, but what he said today seems to have another meaning."
The old lady explained: "What does it mean? I just want you to settle the matter quickly and not drag Minglan down.
And he must have known about Mo Lan's attack on Minglan a few days ago. This is telling you that Minglan is not helpless now. The Li family can now protect Minglan. "
After finishing speaking, seeing that Sheng Hong was still silent, he continued: "Li Hao is right about one thing. The information that the Imperial City Division can know may also be known by other people. This matter can no longer be delayed. We need to Finish it as soon as possible."
Sheng Hong said at this time: "My son has neither virtue nor talent. He has relied on his mother's advice over the years to get where he is today. I would like to ask my mother to work harder!"
Hearing this, the old lady stared into Sheng Hong's eyes and said, "How many times in the past have I told you that you should be severely punished and that your adopted daughter should not be tolerated. What have you always done?
Now if something happens, let me take care of it. How can you ask me, an old woman, to take care of it?
It's better that you go down and think about it yourself, and then come back to me when you've thought about it. "
After saying that, the old lady let Sheng Hong go down.
After Sheng Hong left Shou'an Hall, he went to the Sheng Family Ancestral Hall and knelt alone. He knelt until the next morning before coming out.
As if he had thought of everything, he came to Shou'an Hall to see the old lady.
When Sheng Hong arrived, he was just about to speak when he heard the old lady say: "Don't rush to talk, have breakfast first, and talk after dinner."
Then someone brought the breakfast. After eating slowly, the old lady asked: "You have already thought about it."
Sheng Hong replied
: "My child has figured it out last night. Although Mo Lan deserves it, even for the sake of Ming'er and Ru'er, we have to find a way to settle the matter properly. I will ask the eldest lady to go to the Liang family to propose marriage for her."
After talking about what to do with Mo Lan, the old lady asked again: "Then Lin Sushuang, how do you want to deal with it?"
Sheng Hong was silent for a while and then said: "Lin Sushuang, who allowed his daughter to have an affair and destroyed the foundation of my Sheng family, should have died.
But since she had given birth to a boy for the Sheng family, she would be spared her death.
It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. First, he will be punished with a stick, and then he will be sent to Zhuangzi, and he will not be able to come out forever. "
After finishing speaking, he specifically asked: "Does the mother agree with the treatment of the child?"
After hearing this, the old lady said: "Okay, since you have made a decision, I naturally support it.
Your eldest lady is unable to withstand things, and she may not be willing to go all out for Mo Lan. I'd better show my face to the Liang family in person.
I hope I can see that Lin Sushuang has been dealt with before I come back. "
Sheng Hong didn't speak at this time. He bowed silently and retreated. Then the old lady prepared to go to Liang Mansion.
Of course, Li Hao didn't know much about the Sheng family's decision later on. It wasn't until he heard the news about Mo Lan and Liang Han's marriage and Wei went to the Sheng family that Li Hao learned about Lin Sushuang's true ending.
Now Li Hao is busy with Cao Jingxiu's affairs, because after Li Hao returned to the camp, Cao Jingxiu brought important news to Li Hao from the palace.
