Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!
Chapter 14 Private School
Gu Tingye quickly bowed in return: "Oh, yes, yes, that's right, I was rude. I thought only daughters of noble families knew etiquette, but I didn't expect the Sixth Miss of the Sheng Family to have such a demeanor. I am really impressed!"
This was the first time Minglan saluted him since they met, but after this moment, he could no longer treat the little girl in front of him as an eight-year-old child. He felt that Minglan was even more mature than him, and more generous than all the daughters of wealthy families he had ever met.
The next day, Gu Tingye went to the street to buy a lot of things, packed them one by one, and took them to the hall of Master Sheng to express his gratitude for Master Sheng's care and help in the Bai family. He prepared gifts for everyone in the Sheng family, including Master Sheng's seven children.
When Minglan opened the box that belonged to her, she suddenly saw the jade hairpin from yesterday.
Mother Fang saw this and said with a smile, "It seems that Second Brother Gu still needs some experience! Why did he give Sixth Miss a jade hairpin for adults?"
Minglan held the warm jade hairpin in her hand and smiled without saying a word.
Minglan knew that Gu Tingye passed the imperial examination, but there was a high probability that he would only be eliminated in the Spring Examination.
Because he had already spoken up for Yang Wuduan in front of his elder brother Gu Tingyu when he was eight years old. Given his and his current situation, there was no way he could stop Gu Tingyu from making trouble in front of the emperor. It seemed that Gu Tingye was inevitable to be demoted from the list of Jinshi.
But this should not stop Gu Tingye from studying.
Reading enlightens people and makes them wise. Only through reading can Gu Tingye get rid of his current situation more quickly, or at least restore his reputation in the eyes of some people.
Minglan put the jade hairpin given by Gu Tingye carefully in the box, reported to her grandmother, and went to see Wei Shuyi.
When she arrived, Wei Shuyi was looking at the gift sent by Gu Tingye.
As a concubine, she naturally didn't have that. It was acceptable for a man from outside the family to give gifts to the master's family, but giving gifts to a concubine in the master's family was an act of usurpation.
But Gu Tingye also prepared a gift for Wei Shuyi's unborn child.
Minglan picked up the box and saw that it was a golden longevity lock, with fine workmanship, and it was obvious at a glance that it was brand new.
Wei Shuyi sighed, "I feel ashamed to receive a reward for nothing."
Minglan put the longevity lock back into the box and said, "My dear, my father helped Second Brother Gu regain a large portion of the family fortune. His children should not feel ashamed to be rewarded. You can keep it with confidence."
Wei Shuyi patted her head and said, "This is someone's kindness. How can you accept it so calmly? You must never accept things from others casually in the future, otherwise people will think you don't know etiquette."
Minglan: "I know, little girl. I won't be as shallow-eyed as the Lin mother and daughter, who dare to ask for anything."
Wei Shuyi patted her again: "Have you forgotten what the eldest lady said? Don't mention this matter again! Anyone who mentions it will be beaten to death."
Minglan was hit twice in a row and said with a bitter face: "I know, girl. If you hit me again, I will become a sieve!" As she said that, she made a face, which made Wei Shuyi laugh. After a while, Wei Shuyi suddenly frowned.
Minglan stood up and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, mother?"
Wei Shuyi: "I...I think I'm about to give birth..."
Minglan screamed, "Sister Xiaodie, Sister Xiaodie, someone come! The baby is about to be born!"
……
An hour later, Wei Shuyi successfully gave birth to a baby boy. Sheng Hong was overjoyed and changed his name to Sheng Changdong.
At this point, the ending of Wei Shuyi's death and two lives was completely rewritten. Minglan cried alone at night. This time she started over again, she finally made up for the first regret of her previous life. From now on, she would take her mother and brother to guard her grandmother and let them all live well.
While they were in high spirits, Lin Qinshuang's yard was in chaos.
When Lin learned from Dongrong that Wei Shuyi had given birth to a boy, she was so angry that she smashed half of the things in the room. She cried and cursed, and wanted to bang her head against the wall and even hang herself. The old woman guarding the entrance to the yard was so panicked that she ran to report to the mistress and the queen mother.
The lady was happy to see her lose her composure, and some of the jealousy in her heart was relieved. She didn't even notice that Sheng Hong was shaking his head and sighing while pinching his fingers, wondering what he was thinking.
After the two finished talking, the lady prepared to undress and wash up, but Sheng Hong said that he still had official documents to deal with, so he went to the study.
The next day, everyone knew that the master went to Lin Xiaoniang's room at night, and the two talked for half the night. Lin Xiaoniang's crying turned into babbling tears, and she didn't stop until dawn.
However, what made Hualan feel relieved was that her father had not lost his mind after all. Although he went to Lin Xiaoniang's room, he still did not lift the house arrest for everyone in the room. Before leaving, he scolded those managers in the yard and ordered them to shut up.
After listening to what Fang's mother said, the old lady shook her head and sighed, "My son is still the same as his father after all."
……
Soon, the Sheng family set out to return to Beijing. Not long after, Hualan got married, and Zhuang Xuejiu also came to the Sheng Mansion in Jiying Lane in the capital.
Lin Qinshuang and her family were finally released from house arrest after Hualan got married, but the maids and servants who were involved in the false accounts, as well as the manager, were all sold out.
Although she didn't really feel sorry for those people, she felt sorry for the money she spent on supporting them! Moreover, when she thought of the humiliation of those days, she was filled with resentment and wanted to find a way to vent her anger.
It was impossible to touch Hualan. Not to mention that she was already married, those who knew about the theft of her dowry had basically been sold. Moreover, Sheng Hong had repeatedly warned her not to do anything about it again, and she didn't want to offend Sheng Hong now.
It is not impossible to touch that stupid mistress, but now that she has just arrived in the capital, she has handled the entire relocation and daughter's marriage very well. Even Sheng Hong has praised her several times. It is difficult to find any fault with the mistress at this moment. We have to wait until tomorrow to punish her.
Then only Wei Shuyi is left.
Lin Qinshuang felt that the person who benefited the most from her humiliation this time, besides the eldest lady, was Wei Shuyi. Not only was she well taken care of and gave birth to a son safely, but her daughter also replaced her own Molan and entered the old lady's house. God was really blind! How could that Minglan compare to Moer? I don't know what kind of madness the old woman in Shou'an Hall had, to actually choose her!
Just as she was thinking, Sheng Hong came into the room. Lin Qinshuang collected her thoughts, leaned on Sheng Hong like a tender willow branch, and said coquettishly: "Hong Lang, why are you so late today?"
Sheng Hong hugged her slender waist and said with a smile, "Tonight I decided with Master Zhuang on the curriculum for the children in the private school. There are many important points that need to be discussed in detail, so I came late."
Lin Qinshuang: "Is everything settled now?"
Sheng Hong let out a long sigh: "Of course, it's all settled."
Lin Qinshuang looked at him with admiration: "My Honglang is so amazing!"
