Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Wang Ruofu had an extraordinary fondness for Shi Ying, her cheap son-in-law. She even sent her own daughter Rulan to the back to squeeze into a carriage with Minglan, just to keep Shi Ying and Molan by her side.

Shi Ying knew that Molan respected Wang Ruofu, her stepmother who didn't get along well with Lin Qinshuang, so along the way his respect and enthusiasm for Wang Ruofu was only slightly less than that for Lin Qinshuang, his legitimate mother-in-law. This made Wang Ruofu reluctant to leave Shi Ying even more, and she really wished she could see Shi Ying and Molan getting married tomorrow to finalize the marriage.

As the host, Madam Wu of course had to welcome all the guests. Although she had only met Wang Ruofu once, Wang Ruofu was now Shi Ying's future mother-in-law. She had a very deep impression of Wang Ruofu, especially when she saw Shi Ying get off the first carriage of the Sheng family first, turned around and helped Wang Ruofu down, and then helped a young girl down the carriage. She immediately realized that the girl should be Shi Ying's fiancée.

Thinking of this, Madam Wu couldn't help but smack her lips. She never expected that the relationship between the legitimate and illegitimate daughters in the Sheng family was so close. Wang Ruofu was only the legitimate mother of the Fourth Miss Sheng and had not yet been raised by her side. However, she could let the Fourth Miss Sheng and her fiancé ride in the same carriage with her, and instead sent her own daughter to stay with another illegitimate daughter.

Of course, Mrs. Wu felt that Shi Ying’s contribution could not be erased, but she could also see Wang Ruofu’s character and rules from it.

Thinking of this, Madam Wu felt that the evildoer in her family could consider the remaining two unengaged girls in the Sheng family.

Madam Wu was also a wonderful person. She also liked Shi Ying's outstanding appearance and kind and upright character, so she simply arranged the Sheng family in her own shed, and next to them happened to be Princess Pingning and Qi Heng, as well as Gu Tingye who was just asking for a place.

Ever since the Sheng family's school was disbanded, Molan seldom heard news about Gu Tingye. Even after the Spring Examination, Changbai and Changfeng did not mention Gu Tingye or Qi Heng in front of their sisters. So when Molan suddenly saw Gu Tingye and Qi Heng appear together, she was a little dazed for a moment, and Minglan felt as if she was in another world when she saw Qi Heng, who had lost a lot of weight and even looked a lot more listless.

As for Rulan, she didn't like Qi Heng or Gu Tingye anyway. She was just concerned about the gossip in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, so she followed the crowd and greeted Gu Tingye and Qi Heng, then stayed quietly beside Wang Ruofu, not wanting to speak unless it was necessary.

Wang Ruofu saw Princess Pingning and Qi Heng, and realized that Minglan was a little embarrassed here, so she simply said to Minglan: "I heard that the girl and brothers of Old Master Yu's family are also coming today. I don't need you to serve me here, go and have fun by yourselves."

Minglan responded obediently, turned around and went out to look for Yu Yanran. In order to prevent others from making random guesses, Wang Ruofu turned back and said to Rulan: "You too, go play hammer ball, I have your fourth sister and your fourth brother-in-law here."

Rulan also responded obediently, turned around and said goodbye to Wang Ruofu and Madam Wu.

After Rulan left, Wang Ruofu greeted Madam Wu and said, "Today, my two brothers were temporarily stopped by their father, so we asked our son-in-law to come out. If our fourth daughter goes out more often, it won't be so convenient after she gets married."

Madam Wu could see that Wang Ruofu was not a scheming person. She knew she was generous from the way she arranged for the two girls who were not yet engaged. She immediately had a good impression of her and wanted to become her relative.

When all of Madam Wu's guests arrived, the hundreds of people at the racecourse knew that Wang Ruofu's son-in-law Shi Ying had also come with his fiancée. At this time, Wang Ruofu said to Molan and Shi Ying, "You two don't have to accompany me anymore. Go and have fun by yourselves."

Mrs. Wu couldn't help but praise: "The girls in your family are so charming, I really want to take one home with me!"

As soon as Molan and Shi Ying came out, they saw Minglan, who had changed into riding clothes, talking to Yu Yanran not far away, and it seemed that something bad had happened to Yu Yanran.

Molan had no intention of caring, especially since Minglan did not ask for help. Shi Ying's mind was full of thoughts about being alone with Molan. He didn't even want to take Rulan with him, so how could he take the initiative to care about the affairs of Minglan, who had never spoken to him.

Before the affair between Minglan and Yu Yanran was exposed, there was a commotion on the horse farm. Shi Ying looked around and saw Princess Jiacheng, who had rushed over, arguing with Rong Feiyan, the sister of Concubine Rong in the palace.

Shi Ying knew that his appearance was somewhat attractive, so he quickly took Molan to a secluded place. Although he didn't know why the two "famous ladies in the capital" came uninvited today, he didn't want to be noticed by such two people.

Shi Ying took Molan away from everyone's sight and came to the small hill behind the horse farm. He took out a very simple handkerchief from his arms and placed it on a stone, then carefully helped Molan sit down.

"Okay, now with the small tree in the way, we can see at a glance what everyone is doing, and the people below won't be able to see us. You don't have to worry about your fifth sister being bullied." Shi Ying sat down next to Molan and said happily.

Molan was speechless, but from Shi Ying's behavior in choosing a place, she keenly realized that he might not only be outstanding in appearance and literary talent, but he might even be able to command troops.

Molan looked at Shi Ying, whose eyes were filled with her, and suddenly smiled and said, "Today, I seem to have understood you a little better."

This is a good sign!

When Shi Ying reacted, he had already jumped up with excitement, but he immediately realized that he was too excited and might have scared Molan. He took two deep breaths to calm himself down and sat back down.

Seeing that Molan looked a little confused, Shi Ying quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mo'er, I was too out of control just now and scared you..."

Molan finally realized why Shi Ying was so excited by her words. In front of others, Shi Kagura was noble and cold, like a real fairy, but in front of her, he was just an ordinary man who wanted to love his fiancée. This strong contrast really made Shi Ying more charming. If it were someone else, they would probably want to throw themselves into Shi Ying's arms and never be separated.

But Molan felt a little guilty. She knew that she should fall in love with Shi Ying, but she always felt that something was missing in her heart. Every time when Shi Ying was moved, she would suddenly have an inexplicable feeling, which prevented her from developing feelings for Shi Ying.

Shi Ying finally caught an opportunity when Molan was willing to open up to him, so of course he would keep trying: "Moer, it's good that you can gradually open up to me. Don't worry. Even if you don't have much feelings for me at the moment, we still have a long future. We will definitely get to know each other little by little, support each other and grow old together."
