Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Minglan: "Just because you've read books and seen the world, just because you've been to the imperial examination hall and worshiped Confucius! Since you've read so many books, you should know that many of Lin Xiaoniang's actions are not beneficial to the Sheng family. Not only did you not advise her, but you stood by and watched. Don't you feel that you have failed the sages? At the beginning, when Zhuang Xueji came to our house to teach, he required us to be in class at noon. You never missed a class or was late for a day. You are so diligent, isn't it just to be an official one day? But if you can't even control your relatives, how can you manage the people in the future?"

"What qualifications do you have to judge my future?"

Minglan had been angry during the day, and the anger had been suppressed in her chest. Seeing that Changfeng didn't understand what she said, she became furious: "Just because you and I went to the same private school, just because what you said almost killed the whole family and what I said saved the whole family!"

Chang Feng was shocked when he saw Ming Lan's face for the first time: "You... when did you become so arrogant... dare to say such arrogant words in front of me. Do you really... really think you are the master of the Sheng family?!"

Minglan was so angry that her face turned red: "Third brother, if you came here today just to argue with me, then please leave now. I will take Lady Zhao's confession and those poisonous snakes as evidence and submit them to father after Second Brother's marriage is completed. By then, you can think about what will happen to Lady Lin!"

Chang Feng was furious, but when he heard this, he immediately backed down and said softly, "Isn't this just a casual remark... Sixth sister, that's not what I meant... Don't be anxious..."

Lin Qi Pavilion had already had several incidents, and Sheng Hong was no longer as kind to the three of them as before. He had been dragging his feet on the private property he had promised to buy for Lin Xiaoniang. Everyone in Lin Qi Pavilion was used to spending lavishly, and suddenly they were out of money, and it was like living a year in a day. If there was another incident this time...then their good days would really be over.

Minglan knew that Changfeng was afraid to turn against her, and she herself did not want to point the finger at Changfeng: "Third brother, I can tell you so much, not intentionally to embarrass you, I just hope you can wake up and restrain your little mother and sister!"

Chang Feng finally let go of his heart after hearing this, but he was asked to control Lin Xiaoniang...how could it be possible...He suddenly hugged his head in annoyance: "Just tell me how I can control her? A Niang never tells me her plans, and Fourth Sister doesn't like me, so they won't listen to anything I say!"

"If they don't listen, scold them. If they still don't listen, beat them. If beating them doesn't work, tell father and let him set things right. Do you think your indulgence is good for them? This is like letting them bang their heads against the wall! Only when they are broken and bleeding will they know which way to go. But by then, I'm afraid the whole family will be ruined. They and their mother have been raised too high by their father. Maybe even until they die, they won't be able to figure out what they should and shouldn't do. I'm afraid that the whole family will die for nothing. Third brother, don't you really understand?"

"What's the point of me understanding or not? Even you know that they are arrogant. They only listen to half of what my father says, let alone what I say..."

Minglan finally gave up: "Okay, okay! Third brother, no matter whether you are really incompetent or pretending to be helpless, I don't want to argue with you anymore! Whether you listen or not, it is Linqige's own destiny. Let's talk about another matter. Today, Ayan saved Jing'an Jushi. I want to repay you both publicly and privately. Since you said you don't know how to prepare for Ayan's future, why not listen to me."

"What do you want to say?" Chang Feng pulled A Yan behind him and looked at Ming Lan warily.

"Ayan looks quite similar to you. If she continues to stay in this mansion, she will definitely cause trouble one day. Not only will it ruin Third Brother's marriage, but it will also bring disaster to herself. If Third Brother is willing, I will personally help you send Ayan back to your hometown in Youyang in a while, and then give her to your eldest uncle's family to raise."

Chang Feng thought Minglan was going to set a trap for him, but he didn't expect her to say that. He hesitated for a long time and said, "This...will my uncle agree to this?"

"If we raise her as the master's daughter, then of course we can't do that. Then we'll have to tell her everything about Ah Yan's life story, and it will be the same as raising her in our own home. When we get to Youyang, we'll just say that this is a child we picked up on the road and it's inconvenient to bring her along, so we ask our uncle to be a maid and take good care of her."

Chang Feng immediately felt that this was a trap: "Why can I only be a maid after going to Youyang!"

"What else? Tell uncle that this is your flesh and blood? And then lie to uncle that her mother is from a good family? Wake up, third brother. No matter whether others know that her mother is a prostitute, as long as she is in a wealthy family, people will ask about her background. Once they know that she cannot be included in the family tree and is an illegitimate daughter, they will say all kinds of unpleasant things. Do you really want her to be unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life?"

"Didn't you just say that you wouldn't tell her life story to my uncle's family?"

"Those words are for everyone to hear!!! My uncle has seen you and he will know what's going on as soon as he sees her face. These words may fool others but not the elders. The reason I thought of this is that my uncle now relies on my father's connections in Beijing to do business. The interests of the two families are at stake. Even if he knows about it, he will not reveal such a scandal. He will only cover it up for you, but others may not. If you still ask my uncle to give Ah Yan an identity, then everyone's eyes will fall on her. By then, I'm afraid no matter how many lies you tell, you will not be able to hide them."

Seeing that Chang Feng was persuaded by her, Minglan said further, "We don't ask for a high status for Ayan. We just want her to grow up as a maid in the Sheng family. This way, she won't be conspicuous, and she will be taken care of by her uncle and his wife. She can have food to eat and grow up safely. In the future, when she grows up, you can choose a decent family for her, prepare a thick dowry, and let her marry as a maid in the Sheng family. It will be decent and glorious. If her children are promising in the future, fight for her to get a royal decree. Then, third brother, Ayan will live out her life completely!"

Chang Feng stared at Minglan for a while, then said without a clear reason, "Sixth sister, I just discovered today that you are actually quite scheming."

Minglan was immersed in her imagination of Ayan's future. She didn't expect Changfeng to say such a thing. She was so annoyed that she sighed and said, "All my thoughts are for your daughter. These are what you should think about as a father! If Third Brother really wants to do good for Ayan, you should say something useful."

Chang Feng thought for a long time and nodded: "You are right. Instead of letting Ayan suffer here, it is better to let her change her identity and start over. Sixth sister, if you can really do this for me, I will remember your kindness."

Minglan: "Third brother, you are too kind. I am repaying Ayan for saving Mr. Jing'an's life. After this, we owe each other nothing. I just hope that third brother will consider Ayan's sake and not tell others what I said tonight. If Lin Xiaoniang and Fourth Sister knew... you know what they would say in front of father. It would be a small matter for me to be punished, but I am afraid that Ayan will really be trapped to death in Linqi Pavilion."

Chang Feng touched A Yan's head and said to Ming Lan, "Don't worry, Sixth Sister, I won't tell anyone about this. But, if she returns to Lin Qi Pavilion during these days before she goes to You Yang, I'm afraid..."

"Stay here with me for the next few days. Go back and tell Miss Lin that you sent Ah Yan to my place. In the future, you don't have to pay for Lin Qi Pavilion's allowance. I know Miss Lin is short of money recently."

Chang Feng bowed deeply to Ming Lan: "Sixth sister is so righteous!"

He thought for a while and then said, "I think this 'cucumber snake' is very good. If my mother and sister go to complain to father, you can say that I forced you to do it."

These words stunned Minglan. She didn't expect Changfeng to do this suddenly.

Chang Feng saw her standing there in a daze, smiled and said, "It's rare to see Molan get humiliated."

Chang Feng lowered his head and pinched A Yan's face, then said to his daughter: "You have had a hard life in this life, and you have not been able to enjoy happiness with me. When you go to Youyang, you will have the support of your uncle and his family, and you will be able to change your world and live a good life!"

Ah Yan didn't know what a good day was, so she just asked, "Won't you be hungry?"

Chang Feng felt sad: "No, never again."

Ah Yan jumped up happily: "That's great! Ah Yan will never be hungry again!"

The happier she was, the sadder Chang Feng felt. He realized that Minglan had just said too little: let alone restraining his mother and sister, he couldn't even feed his daughter. A man of seven feet tall, with hands and feet, was actually so incompetent.

He looked at Changdong who was standing beside him. He was already holding a sword to protect his sisters when he was less than eight years old. What was he doing when he was eight years old?

Seeing Chang Feng looking at A Yan and then at Chang Dong, with a painful and tangled expression, Ming Lan guessed what he was thinking and said patiently, "Third brother, I know that you are different from Lin Xiaoniang and the others because I see that you are good to A Yan. I can understand the difficulties you mentioned. But you are a man, and you are Lin Xiaoniang's only support in the future. If you pass the imperial examination one day, you will be able to establish your own house. Then you will have the final say on what you want to do. All of this must be based on your warning today. If you make a mistake and commit an irreparable sin, then you will lose your independence and dowry. If you show the momentum of the future head of the family in front of Lin Xiaoniang and her daughter, and persuade them kindly when they go astray, they will definitely change over time. As the saying goes, a rope saws through wood and water drips through stone. As long as you persist in persuading and persuading every day, one day you can wake up Lin Xiaoniang and the fourth sister. Even if you can't wake them up, at least you can make them do fewer mistakes, right?"

The words "self-reliance" and "having your own say" pierced Chang Feng's heart deeply. Isn't this what he is begging for now? If his words carried weight in Linqi Pavilion, then Ayan wouldn't have to beg for food from a nun; if his words carried weight in the Sheng family, then Ayan could still call back Sheng Biyan...

Chang Feng looked at Ming Lan thoughtfully: "Did you advise Eighth Brother Yu in the same way in private?"

Minglan walked to Changdong and took his hand affectionately: "Changdong is the best brother. He is very sensible and does not need my advice."

Changdong was trying to keep the situation calm with a sullen face, but was suddenly praised. He felt a little embarrassed, his expression was still fierce, but his cheeks suddenly turned red.

Chang Feng enviously said, "It would be nice if my sister could be like this."

Minglan: "Third brother, Changdong and I are your brothers and sisters."

Changdong hadn't seen such a good look on his family members for a long time, and was a little touched. He said, "Sixth sister, it turns out that what my mother and Molan said about you is not true. In fact, you are very good!"

Minglan: "Third brother, isn't it a little late for you to know now?"

Chang Feng laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, yes, I just realized today that I was so blinded by greed that I couldn't see who was right and who was wrong in the family. Forget it! Today I'm just going to risk it all. Give me Madam Zhao and the bag of snakes, and I'll go talk to my father myself."

"Really?!" Everyone in the room exclaimed in surprise.

"Since I can't convince my mother, let my father teach her a lesson!" He lowered his head and touched Ayan's face. "As a father, I have to do something for my daughter."
