Chapter 1162: Father and Daughter Quarrel, Sheng Hong Catches His Concubine, and the Sheng Mansion Is in Chaos
Hua Lan was furious at the distrust in Sheng Hong's words. Even though she had been pampered for many years, the distrust of her closest relatives still made her unable to control her anger.
"Father, my daughter really can't understand your thoughts. I am the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, and I am also the wife of Duke Jingguo. Do I need to make up lies to ruin the reputation of a concubine sister? What does this do to me? benefit?"
"At first, my father favored Lin Xiaoniang and Mo Lan, which made the family a mess. Later, they fell ill and sent them to Zhuangzi outside the city. The family was so peaceful and peaceful. The father was kind and the son was filial, and they were harmonious. As a result, Father, you must bring them back, and you must make this family restless."
Sheng Hong was furious: "Are you accusing me? Yes, you are the eldest lady of the Duke's Palace. You are great, but this is the Sheng family, not the Duke of Jing's Palace. If you want to accuse me, the father, you are being disobedient and unfilial." "
Hua Lan said: "Father, I knew you would say this. Every time you encounter something, you will only shrink back and blame others. Now that something like this happened, I told you for the sake of the family. But you don’t believe me, and you say I lied, why can’t you reflect on yourself, if it weren’t for you, father, doting on Miss Lin, how could there be so many troubles in our family.”
"You, you, okay, you, you are now the eldest lady of the Duke's Palace, and you are the first-grade wife. Your skills have become stronger, and you have begun to teach me a lesson. You, you, are disobedient and unfilial. How could I give birth to you? Such a daughter."
Sheng Hong was so angry that he wanted to hit Hua Lan, but when he raised his hand, he lost the courage to lower it. He was anxiously spinning around the room, mumbling to vent his anger.
Hua Lan was no longer afraid of Sheng Hong's anger and continued: "Father, it's not about me being disobedient or not. The most important thing now is Mo Lan's matter. If she has an affair with Ling Guogong's youngest son, If word spreads, the entire Sheng family will be affected;"
"I'm not afraid, but what will happen to the fifth and sixth sisters in the husband's family? And father, you and Chang Bai's official careers will be ridiculed by others if they are dragged down by such a reputation. At that time, the Sheng Mansion will truly fall into the abyss. ah."
Sheng Hong's steps suddenly stopped. When Hualan talked about his daughters, he didn't really care, but when he talked about his and his eldest son's career, he admitted that he was nervous.
The one who is more nervous is Wang Ruofu. This is her husband, her daughter, and her son. She is several times more nervous than Sheng Hong.
"Official, official, Hua'er is my first-born daughter. She has been giving us a good reputation since she was a child. Now if you don't believe what she says, you have to believe that bitch who was born by a bitch, and she wants to take the reputation of the children. Going to bet with the Sheng family, sir, are you really obsessed with me, or have you been obsessed with that bitch?"
Sheng Hong's expression kept changing. He could not care about anything else, but he had to take care of his own face and the future of the Sheng family.
"Hua'er, is everything you said true?"
"Even now, father still doesn't believe me? If father still doesn't believe me, then go and arrest him yourself. This is definitely not the first time for Mo Lan and the others, and they will definitely continue to do so in the future. You can keep an eye on Mo Lan first, as long as she goes out. , just follow her, and you will definitely catch her having an affair.”
Hearing Hua Lan's idea, Sheng Hong jumped up in shock again.
"You want me, a father, to catch my daughter in an affair?"
"Otherwise, my father doesn't believe me even if I say it, so I can only let you catch him yourself."
Wang Ruofu agreed very much: "Officer, I think Hua'er's idea is a good one. If you want to arrest her, arrest her at the scene. Otherwise, the bitch mother and daughter may be acting coquettishly and denying it."
In fact, according to her personality, she should have gone to arrest Lin Sushuang and her daughter by this time, but Hualan greeted her first when he came back, so she had already been mentally prepared and knew what to do correctly.
Sheng Hong's face was gloomy and uncertain. He wanted to confront Lin Sushuang and his daughter now, but he was not really stupid. He was just addicted to Lin Sushuang's gentle trap. In fact, he still had his own judgment.
After a long time, he spoke and said in a solemn voice: "Okay, as you said, you will notify me when Mo'er goes out next time."
This time, the family of three has reached a preliminary consensus, and everything will be discussed later after being caught face to face.
Once the relationship between a man and a woman breaks through, it is indeed difficult to control, not to mention that Mo Lan still approaches with purpose, so within a few days, Mo Lan went out again and went to Sanqing Temple.
Just when Mo Lan went to Sanqing Temple, Wang Ruofu, who had been sending people to keep an eye on him, immediately got the news.
At this time, her mood was really uneasy and uncontrollable. She naturally believed in her daughter Hualan, but no matter how much she believed, it was worse than seeing it with her own eyes.
Now everything is developing towards what Hua Lan said. She is excited and nervous at the same time. She can't wait to catch it, but she is also worried that she will not be able to achieve her goal.
But no matter what, she took the people out of the house immediately, notified Sheng Hong, and then brought all the servants who had signed the death contract with her.
Nowadays, the Sheng Mansion is a very famous family in Bianjing City. The three daughters who have been married have all married well. Two of them married into the Duke of Guo's Palace. One is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Guo's Palace and the other is the future one. The eldest wife of the Duke of Guo, and another Jinshi wife with great promise.
In addition, there are two people who are officials in the court, among whom the eldest son still has a bright career.
If word gets out that the daughter of the Sheng family is having an affair, it will definitely have a huge impact and make people laugh out loud. She will be embarrassed to attend gatherings with the eldest lady of Beppu in the future.
The weather was sunny today, the wind was gentle and the sun was shining, but no one in the Sheng Mansion was in the mood to appreciate it. They all rushed to Sanqing Temple with solemn expressions.
Sheng Hong came in a hurry, and his face was extremely ugly. Wang Ruofu didn't care whether he looked good or not.
"Officer, they have already entered. Do you want to go there now or later?"
Sheng Hong looked embarrassed, glared at Wang Ruofu with dissatisfaction, and then rushed towards Yuqing Temple with his men.
How could he, who had accumulated so much resentment and anger, wait patiently any longer? He led people to the guest room in the backyard of Yuqingguan. The maid who had been hanging out outside did not make any sound, and was taken over by the Sheng family. People are under control.
Under the guidance of the servant, Guan Guo rushed into the yard and came to the door.
Sheng Hong was about to push the door open with all his strength, when suddenly there was an unbearable and overwhelming sound in the room, which made his body stiffen instantly, and he could no longer exert any strength in his hand to push the door open.
His body seemed to collapse for an instant, and he slowly retracted his hand. It was already very embarrassing. If he pushed the door in at this time and saw an even more embarrassing scene, he really didn't know how to end it.
So he could only put down his hands in despair, turned around and left. After waiting for a while, he felt that he was ready, then he pushed open the door and rushed into the house.
When he rushed into the house and saw the big bed, two disheveled men and women and clothes scattered on the floor, he felt blood rushing to his head.
"ah!"
He let out a shrill scream, and then turned his head sharply. He really couldn't bear to look at this disgusting scene anymore.
Mo Lan and the youngest son of Duke Ling's family were also frightened to death. They hurriedly pulled up their clothes to cover their bodies. Mo Lan even screamed in panic and fear.
"You're a shameful thing. You've brought shame on the Sheng family. Put on your clothes. Put on your clothes."
After giving Mo Lan a moment, Sheng Hong yelled again: "Everyone, please come in and tie up this prostitute, tie her up."
A group of servants who had been waiting outside immediately rushed in.
Sheng Hong let out a painful cry: "Tie her up quickly, tie her up."
The male servants did not dare to approach, but the strong and strong ladies rushed in and tied up Mo Lan with ropes.
The youngest son of Duke Ling's family stood aside, not daring to stop him at all. This was his fault in the first place, and they were already giving him face by not tying him up.
Seeing that Mo Lan was tied up and gagged, Sheng Hong outside shouted again: "Take me back, don't let others see you."
"Yes, my lord."
Wang Ruofu, who had been waiting, was relieved to see that she was caught. She wanted to see how the bitch mother and daughter escaped this time.
Sheng Hong returned to Sheng Mansion with a group of people. He immediately questioned Mo Lan, called several maids in Mo Lan's room, and beat him severely. After learning all the situation, he even It's rage.
A long time passed before Lin Sushuang arrived belatedly, and then she began to pretend to be fainted and beg for mercy, hoping to get through.
But what happened this time was different from what happened before. Naturally, Sheng Hong couldn't expose it easily.
At Duke Jingguo's Mansion, Hua Lan had already learned that her parents were going to Yuqing Temple to arrest Mo Lan for having an affair today, so she had been waiting for the news.
But what she didn't expect was that before the news from the Sheng Mansion came through, the people in the mansion heard another news first.
"What, what you said is true, has it really spread throughout Bianjing City?" Hua Lan asked Cuichan with a shocked look on his face.
Cui Chan also had a look of panic on her face: "It's true, girl, it was the servants in the mansion who came to report it. They said that this matter has spread throughout the country, and many people in Bianjing City probably know about it."
Hua Lan was shocked and angry: "How could this happen? Mother and the others were all servants who had signed the death contract. How could the news spread? No, no, Cui Chan, you just said that it was not rumored that Mo Lan and Ling were outside. The prince’s legitimate youngest son is having an affair, but it’s rumored that they were having sex and hugging each other at Sanqing Temple?”
"Yes, girl."
"No, no, if the news leaked out, it would be an affair, not what it is now."
Hua Lan frowned. After being the eldest lady of the Duke's Palace for so many years, she has naturally grown a lot, and she has become more sophisticated and wise.
Cuichan also reacted: "Girl, I also feel that this matter spread too fast, as if it spread in an instant. Could it be that someone deliberately spread it?"
Hua Lan said in a deep voice: "It's very possible, otherwise it wouldn't have been transmitted so quickly. Let someone prepare the carriage and we go to Sheng Mansion."
"Yes, girl."
The two were about to leave when they saw Zhou Chen walking into the yard.
"Are you going to Sheng Mansion?"
"Guanren, how do you know?"
"It's been said like that outside, how could I not know about it?"
Hua Lan suddenly looked embarrassed. She didn't mean to hide it. The main reason was that this matter was her biological sister after all, and she would be disgraced if she said it.
"Officer, I want to go to the Sheng Mansion. Mo Lan has done something that is so disgraceful to the family. This time, no matter what, I cannot let my father spare her any mercy."
Zhou Chen said: "Let me go with you. I just want to see my grandmother. I haven't seen her for a long time."
"Um."
Zhou Chen and Hua Lan arrived at Sheng Mansion in a carriage.
Now the Sheng Mansion is in chaos, and the news from outside has reached the ears of Sheng Hong and others. They are all very angry. Wang Ruofu is even clamoring to kill Lin Sushuang and his daughter.
She felt lucky that her daughters were already married. Otherwise, if the news about Mo Lan's affair had spread, who would have dared to marry her daughter?
But thinking that this matter might also affect her married daughters, she was still so angry that she wanted to beat Mo Lan to death.
Sheng Hong came to Shou'an Hall for training at this time. When the old lady learned about Mo Lan's affair, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
She is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. Ordinary things are not enough to make her lose her temper. But Mo Lan had an affair with someone, and it was in a place like Sanqing Temple. It really made her angry. If this was her relative Granddaughter, she must have been beaten.
But after all, she was not Sheng Hong's biological mother, nor Mo Lan's biological grandmother. She could not directly punish Mo Lan because of the relationship between Sheng Hong and her biological father.
She called Sheng Hong over, and did not reprimand her severely. She just laid out the matter and stated its seriousness, which made Sheng Hong sweat profusely and turned around in horror to leave Shou'antang.
As soon as Sheng Hong walked to the door, he bumped into Zhou Chen coming in.
"Father-in-law, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?" Zhou Chen asked with a half-smile.
Sheng Hong looked embarrassed. He knew that Zhou Chen must have heard the rumors outside. He just came to the Sheng Mansion. Such a thing happened. As a father, how could he have the nerve to say anything to Zhou Chen.
"You are here to see your mother, I think. I have something else to do, so I will go over first and have dinner together later."
After saying that, he hurriedly left. He was going to find Lin Sushuang. For the Sheng Mansion, he had to solve this problem as soon as possible.
Zhou Chen looked at Sheng Hong's back, and he really seemed to be running away.
"Master, the old lady wants you to come in." Fang's mother came out and said to Zhou Chen respectfully.
"Um."
Zhou Chen walked into the house, saw the old lady sitting by the bed, and saluted, "Grandma."
The old lady's face, which was not very good at first, suddenly showed a bit of joy and waved to Zhou Chen.
"Sanlang, come here, sit here."
Zhou Chen sat down on the chair next to the old lady's bed and asked with concern: "Is grandma angry?"
The old lady sighed: "You should already know that our family is unfortunate. It's unfortunate that we raised such a evil person. It's just a crime of her own. She also affected the family. Hua Lan and the others' good reputations were ruined by her." ”
Zhou Chen said with relief: "Grandma, don't be so angry. The nine sons of dragons are different. If you want to blame it, it's Miss Lin. I think it was her influence that made the fourth sister become like this. If She is raised by her mother-in-law, and even if she is useless, she will never do such a despicable thing."
"Yes, even you, who have not had much contact with Lin Xiaoniang, know what is going on, but your father-in-law does not know. He has to wait until something happens to understand."
The old lady also hates that iron cannot become steel. What she is most dissatisfied with Sheng Hong is that Sheng Hong's doting concubine destroyed his wife. The men of the Sheng family are really carved from the same mold. Fortunately, the next generation Sheng Changbai is upright and upright. , did not inherit Sheng Hong’s style.
"But this time, I think he won't be confused again."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Grandma is strategizing, everything will be as she expected."
The old lady smiled and pointed at Zhou Chen: "You, I think you came here just to watch the fun today, right?"
Zhou Chen said: "It's not about watching the fun, but I'm also very shocked. How did these four sisters hook up with the youngest son of Duke Ling's mansion?"
The old lady muttered: "Maybe it's because your father-in-law asked the eldest lady to take Mo Lan to various government gatherings, and he met the youngest son of the Duke of Ling. But this is no longer important. How to solve this matter is the most important."
"Grandma said so."
The old lady suddenly asked: "I heard that the first person who discovered Mo Lan's girl's affair was Hua'er?"
"Well, I heard from Cui Chan that when I went to Sanqing Temple with my sixth sister, my wife happened to stumble upon Mo Lan's affair."
"We're going together tomorrow. Did we bump into each other by chance?"
The old lady was still very alert and quickly grasped the key point. She always felt that things could not be such a coincidence, and Minglan was also involved. The more she thought about it, the more something was wrong.
"I wasn't in the mood to eat just now, but you're here just in time. Mother Fang, please ask the kitchen to cook more, and Sanlang and I will eat together."
"Yes, I'll go now."
Zhou Chen came to Shou'an Hall, while Hua Lan went to Wei Ruixuan, comforting Wang Ruofu who was lying in bed sadly. Wang Ruofu cried even harder when he saw Hualan.
After Sheng Hong left Shou'antang, he hurried to Lin Qige. Now Lin Sushuang was locked in Lin Qige's room by him. She was not allowed to go out without his permission, and the maids were guarding her outside.
As for Mo Lan, she was made to kneel in the ancestral hall. The two maids who helped her have an affair were beaten to death. As for the other maids in Linqige, they were also locked up.
He came to Lin Sushuang's room, but before he could speak, Lin Sushuang spoke first, saying that the best solution now was to go to the Lingguo Duke's mansion to propose marriage. As long as Mo Lan married into the Lingguo In the palace, the rumors outside were broken without attacking.
But it was her words that made Sheng Hong react suddenly. He had only just learned about the rumors outside, but Lin Sushuang had been locked in the room long ago and had no contact with the outside world. It was impossible for him to know about the outside world. The only possibility is that she already knew it.
This made Sheng Hong go crazy with anger. He didn't expect Lin Sushuang to be so vicious. For the sake of this marriage, she spread rumors herself without caring about her daughter's reputation.
The two immediately started arguing with each other. Lin Sushuang stopped acting and showed off her cards in front of Sheng Hong, saying that she was doing it for Mo Lan's good. If Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu hadn't helped Mo Lan find a good marriage, , would she do such a thing?
This heresy made Sheng Hong angry, and then he became anxious. When he asked Lin Sushuang if she really loved him, Lin Sushuang showed no concern and looked down upon Sheng Hong for being leisurely and elegant at this time. For this kind of thing, he immediately said that he had always just followed his wishes.
He even shouted confidently.
"Honglang, don't pretend to be affectionate. If you really loved me, you wouldn't have sent us to Zhuangzi outside the city when Mo'er and I got sick. You know where our mother and daughter are. What kind of sin did you suffer?"
"You don't know, you don't know what kind of torture we suffered, because at that time you and everyone in your Sheng Mansion lived a good life, but Mo'er and I suffered inhuman torture, so in At that time, I swore in my heart that I must leave that place, I must return to the Sheng Mansion, and I must let Mo'er live a good life and never be bullied or manipulated by others again."
"My Mo'er is so outstanding. Both the eldest girl and that cheap girl Minglan can marry into the Duke's palace. Why can't my Mo'er? If my Mo'er, like the eldest girl, becomes the eldest wife of the Duke's palace , Who dares to bully us? Who dares to look down on us? "
"You, you, you are so crazy."
Sheng Hong said angrily: "Hua'er was able to marry into the Hou Mansion only because of the old lady. What's more, when Hua'er was engaged and just married, the eldest uncle was just the second son of the Hou Mansion, not even a marquis. , Now Hua'er is able to achieve his current status entirely because my uncle is capable and strives for his own success."
Lin Sushuang screamed: "That's not because of the old Zhongjing Hou Mansion. If you and Mo'er can find such an uncle, I don't have to plan it myself, but who are the people you are looking for for Mo'er?" , Juren, top three Jinshi, not to mention compared with the eldest girl and Minglan, even the husband of that girl Rulan is inferior, why, why?"
"So you just found it yourself, and you allowed Mo'er to use such despicable methods and allow her to have an affair with her foreign husband?" Sheng Hong asked painfully.
"Yes, I said, since you can't be relied on, then we, mother and daughter, can only rely on ourselves. My Mo'er is so good, even if she can't compare with Hua Lan, she can't be worse than that bitch Minglan. She must marry into Go to the Duke’s Mansion.”
Lin Sushuang yelled at the top of her lungs. She was obsessed with profit. She would do whatever it took to get the upper hand. Living in a village outside the city for more than a year had made her even more extreme. She just wanted her daughter to find a better place. A good husband will support his mother and daughter.
"Whether you hate me or blame me, for the sake of the reputation of Sheng Mansion, the future of Changbai, and the reputation of your married daughters, please stop talking about these things with me here now. No, hurry up and go to Duke Ling’s Mansion to propose marriage.”
Sheng Hong stepped back in shock and looked at the ferocious-looking Lin Sushuang. He dared to believe that his sincerity was actually paid to such a woman.
