Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Molan asked anxiously, "Why didn't mother tell father the truth? If father knew that it was Gu Tingye and Minglan who harmed me, he would definitely stand up for me! Why didn't mother say anything?"

Lin Qinshuang: "Silly child! Didn't you understand what that Shitou said? As long as you expose this matter, he will go and instigate Young Master Qi and Liang Liulang, and then you will have no chance on either side!"

Molan: "But do I have to suffer in silence like this?"

Lin Qinshuang: "That's why I only talked to your father about the marriage! As long as your marriage with the young master is successful, Gu Tingye's threat will be defeated. Then, we will have plenty of ways to avenge you."

Molan: "No! I can't stand it! It was obviously Sheng Minglan who harmed me, why didn't mother let daddy beat that stinky girl to death?"

Lin Qinshuang: "Do you have evidence?"

Molan: "Luzhong and Yunzai are both witnesses! Didn't I hear everything they said? I should know that Moer was murdered by someone!"

Lin Qinshuang: "Mother knows, of course mother knows, but what's the use of mother knowing alone? Your father has to believe it. The Duke of Yingguo's Mansion and the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion both testified for the sixth girl. How can the weight of the two of them be compared to the clouds and dew? Last night when you were still asleep, I told your father a lot about Minglan's life on the polo field, but today when the wife of the Duke of Yingguo came, all my words were in vain. Your father now wants to offer Minglan on the incense table. As the saying goes, a man who knows the times is a hero. Why should we confront her head-on? It is right to marry you to the Duke of Qi's Mansion first."

Molan was so depressed by Lin Qinshuang's analysis that she burst into tears: "Dad... How can Dad be so snobbish... Hasn't he ever thought that if I marry into the Qi family, then the Qi family will be able to support us in the future! That's also a mansion! Why won't Dad help me..."

Lin Qinshuang: "Don't listen to your father. He is just a man. How can he know the twists and turns in the inner house?"

She sat down beside the bed and wiped Molan's tears: "In terms of family background, you are indeed not as good as the eldest wife's; but in terms of appearance and talent, which one of you is not a hundred times better than them? We have the same father, why would he put you below her?"

Molan: "And that bitch Sheng Minglan. How could she deserve Gu Tingye to stand up for her? How could she!"

Lin Qinshuang comforted her: "This is her strength. I underestimated this girl at first, thinking that she was weak and sullen, and that she was careless about household affairs, but I didn't expect that she was so resourceful when it came to men. Gu Tingye is fine, he has lost his title and cannot take the imperial examinations, he is already a waste, it would be a good thing if they were together. But the young master... I never thought that with his character, talent and appearance, he would actually like a girl like Ming," she sighed and brushed away the loose hair on Molan's forehead, "It's also my fault, I always let you excel in the past, but forgot to teach you to be humble, you know some men like weak ones."

"Mom, don't talk nonsense! Gu Tingye said it all on the polo field. It was a feud between him and the young master. Ming girl just took advantage of the situation. The young master didn't do it for her."

"You are stupid. You already know that Gu Tingye is helping the Sixth Girl openly and secretly. How could the Young Master not know this? His two families are related and they were very close in the past. If he didn't like the Sixth Girl, why would he keep getting angry with Gu Tingye and why would he support the Sixth Girl in front of so many people? I told you before that the Young Master might like the Sixth Girl, but you refused to believe me."

Molan was no longer stubborn this time. She asked anxiously, "If Brother Yuanruo really likes the sixth girl, how can I get her back for him?"

"If he already has someone else in his heart, it would be difficult to get him to come back."

"My daughter is not afraid of difficulties! Since my father is unwilling to stand up for me, I can only fight for it myself." Molan twisted a corner of the quilt, "In this life, I must trample Hualan and Rulan under my feet," she gritted her teeth, "and Sheng Minglan, I will repay her double for this foot!"

Lin Qinshuang praised: "Good kid, you have great ambitions!"

After a moment, Molan's cold eyes turned into melancholy: "I'm afraid that if I act improperly, the Sheng family will lose face..."

"You are confused!" Lin Qinshuang sneered, "What's the point of the Sheng family's reputation? What's important is the Lin Qi Pavilion's reputation. If losing the Sheng family's reputation can save my own face, it doesn't matter if I lose it a hundred times."

Molan suddenly realized: "I understand, mother."

"It's just that the young master is a gentleman. The methods that I taught you before have never worked on him. And right now, I can't think of any way to win him over. But... this Liang Liulang, maybe he can be an opportunity?" Lin Qinshuang looked at her with a smile.

Molan waved her hand irritably: "The Qi family is a duke, and the Liang family is only an earl. There is a huge gap between them. Besides, Mr. Liang is the sixth child in the family, and he has so many older brothers. What does the title of the Liang family have to do with him?"

"Since your father won't speak for us in the Qi family, we are already weak and can't afford to lose easily. If there is a chance, it would be good to marry into a noble family, but we might as well look for another place to leave ourselves a way out. It's not good to hang ourselves on a tree, right?"

Mo Lan paused for a moment: "Can the Liang family be considered a way out?"

Lin Qinshuang laughed even more, "You stepped into a trap that was so dangerous, but the Sixth Young Master of the Liang Family brought people to rescue you. If the eldest lady hadn't intercepted him halfway, he would have personally sent you to the hospital for treatment. If he didn't want to do it, would he have been so concerned? Knowing that you were injured, he eagerly sent a doctor and a maid, and was so anxious about you, how could it not be a way out?" Lin Qinshuang moved forward, "Don't blame him for not being able to inherit the title, he has the earl's wife's private money, which is enough for you to spend for three lifetimes! If he gets a title in the future, you can also have an imperial decree. You are so smart, why don't you plan it out?"

"The imperial edict..." Molan was quite moved by what she said: "Mother is right. Anyway, whether it is the Duke of Qi's Mansion or the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion, it is better than the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion of my elder sister's family."

Lin Qinshuang nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, no matter who you marry, the people in Weiruixuan will hate you for a while. When you marry into a wealthy family and are given an imperial decree, how can Sheng Minglan, a concubine's daughter, turn over your palm?"

"I will make her pay back a thousand times!" Molan once again thought of Qi Heng fighting for Minglan, and frowned, "But what if the sixth girl ends up marrying into the Duke's Mansion?"

"Haha," Lin Qinshuang laughed, "your father won't even help us, how could he possibly help Sixth Girl?"

"But she has the old lady's support."

"Come on, that old woman is just relying on the fact that she is the master's mother to show off her power and prestige at home. Who outside of the house really respects her?"

"Mom! Please don't call her an old woman anymore. Wasn't the lesson from last time enough?"

Lin Qinshuang waved her hand and said, "I am talking in my own courtyard, and no one can hear me. An old woman is an old woman. No matter how much she talks, she is just a spent force. Those wives of officials from outside respect her as the only daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi, but how long has she been married out of the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion? She broke up with her mother's family because of Wang Ruofu, and the two sides have long cut off contact. If she mentions the Marquis of Yongyi now, I'm afraid others will laugh at her."

Molan felt pleased: "So, Princess Pingning will never give her face?"

"Is there any need to say more? His family belongs to a duke's mansion, while her parents' family is only a marquis' mansion at best. There is a big difference in status between the two. Why should the princess sell her face to an old woman? My dear child, just put your heart in your stomach. As long as your father doesn't agree, it will be useless for me to cry to death."

Molan looked up at her right foot, which was wrapped like a dumpling: "I'm afraid my injured foot won't heal, and you will dislike me in the future..."

Lin Qinshuang tucked the quilt in for her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? With my mother here, I will find a famous doctor for you to make your foot completely free of any marks. When you marry into a wealthy family in the future, the couple will blow out the candles and cover themselves with the quilt. Who will see any injuries? As long as you remember the methods my mother taught you in the past, I guarantee that my husband will not be able to escape from your grasp."

Molan pulled the quilt over her head and said shyly, "Mother!"

Lin Qinshuang smiled and pulled down her quilt: "I am destined to never be able to defeat Wang Ruofu by myself in this life, and your brother is a loser who can't afford it. Mo'er, you are my only hope! You must marry into a good family, so that I can be proud and Wei Ruixuan will never dare to look down on our Linqi Pavilion again."

As the mother and daughter were talking, a small figure flashed in from the door.

Molan was startled and scolded: "Who are you trying to scare to death? You don't even make a sound when you enter the door?"
