Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

An hour later, the old housekeeper sent by the Sheng family to call Shulan back came back with his face covered, saying that he was beaten by the mother-in-law of the Sun family. When asked why he was beaten, the old housekeeper said that the mother-in-law of the Sun family did not let Shulan come back, saying that the old lady was sick but not dead. There were so many things to do in their Sun family, how could the daughter-in-law go to her parents' home every day to be lazy?

The eldest wife of the first house stamped her feet in anger, and Sheng Wei finally spoke up: "How can they say such vicious things? What do you mean by sick but not dead? They don't have any elders of their own, so they don't know the principle of respecting the elders?"

The old housekeeper said with a sad face: "Yes, that's what I said, so the mother-in-law of the Sun family slapped me... and told me to come back and said that the eldest girl has married into their family and is their member, and asked us not to call her back casually..."

The old lady in the first house sighed and said, "Look, it's a sin for Shu'er to even go home. How can you and your wife expect her to have a good life in that deep pit?"

The eldest wife and Pinlan hugged each other and cried.

Minglan couldn't bear it anymore, so she stood up and knelt down before the two old ladies and kowtowed.

Old Madam Sheng knew what she was going to say and stopped her: "Ming'er, shut up!"

Minglan raised her head and looked deeply at her grandmother, and said, "I know that you are doing this for my reputation, but I can't bear to see my cousin suffer in the fire. I can't stop talking and I don't want to stop talking."

Old Lady Sheng: "Since you know this is your cousin's business, your aunt has her own considerations. How can you, as a junior, butt in on it?" She didn't want Minglan to be seen as a nosy gossip by the people in the first house, and she didn't want Minglan to always be involved in other people's right and wrong.

The old lady of the first house took old lady Sheng's hand and said, "They are all our own flesh and blood, there is nothing we cannot say. I think Minglan is very methodical in managing the servants, and she is a capable child. Now Shu'er is trapped in the pit of fire and cannot save herself, we might as well listen to what Ming'er has to say."

The eldest lady of the first house leaned over to pull Minglan and said to Mrs. Sheng, "It's okay, auntie. I really have no idea what to do..." She turned to Minglan and said, "Child, get up quickly and tell your auntie if you can think of any good ideas?"

With these two people pleading for mercy, Old Lady Sheng couldn't say anything more and glared at Minglan.

Minglan stood up with the help of her aunt, and then she spoke: "The mother and son of the Sun family were penniless. The poor days gave Sun Zhigao the motivation to study hard, allowing him to pass the imperial examination at the age of twelve. He must have talent and worked hard. But since they married Sister Shulan and lived a rich life with her generous dowry, they forgot their roots. They thought that as long as they could grasp the weakness of their sister and let the Sheng family continuously send them money, Sun Zhigao would not have to study hard and Sun's mother-in-law would not have to look at people's faces. So, they all lost the motivation to be diligent, so Sun Xiucai could never pass the imperial examination again, and Sun's mother-in-law completely revealed her ugly face."

Her analysis was so insightful that she expressed the feelings of everyone in the Sheng family's main branch. Pinlan couldn't help but curse, "You are such a jerk who suddenly became rich!"

Minglan: "Yes, their situation is the reaction of a villain when he suddenly becomes rich. For them, mother and son, they were able to endure the hardship of washing and washing clothes and the punishment of studying hard because they were thirsty for wealth and glory in their hearts, not because of their diligence in nature, let alone their desire for the teachings of saints. Such people are not able to withstand wealth and glory from the root. Wealth and glory are poison to them, not a tonic to improve their lives. The fact that they can say such shameless words in public shows that they are shameless but unaware, because wealth and glory come too easily, and they are too drunk to see their true situation."

The eldest wife of the first house felt sympathetic and could not help asking, "If that is the case, what should we do?"

Minglan: "Since they can't stand wealth, then don't give them wealth. They beat up Sister Shulan, so we'll take back the shop we gave them before. Every time he makes a scene, we'll take it back. If he makes a scene again, we'll take it back again. There will always be a time when he brings Sister Shulan back to our house to make a scene. At that time, we'll see if Sister Shulan has any injuries. If so, we'll tell her clearly that the daughter of the Sheng family should not be abused."

Pinlan yelled, "Why are you so upset? Why don't you just find a group of people to beat up Sun Zhigao and then rescue my sister?"

Minglan: "Then it becomes Sister Shulan's fault? Sun Zhigao made a big fuss about Sister Shulan not having any children just to build momentum for himself to keep taking concubines. If we add the crime of 'making a scene at her husband's house and beating her husband' to Sister Shulan, won't her reputation be completely ruined?"

Pinlan: "It was Sun Zhigao who hit my sister first. It is wrong for him to hit someone. We are just returning the favor. How could this ruin my sister's reputation?!"

Minglan: "Why did he beat Sister Shu? Now everyone outside thinks that Sister Shu was beaten because she has no offspring, and no one thinks it is the Sun family's problem. Only when we lift the brocade cover first can others see the true face of the Sun family. The huge amount of money our family sent over is that brocade cover."

The eldest wife of the first house hesitated and said, "But if we use that money to compete with the Sun family, won't Shu'er still suffer from them?"

Minglan: "Sister Shulan will suffer as long as she stays at their house, no matter how much money she earns."

The eldest lady said, "That's right. If they really care about Shu'er, they will treat her well even if Shu'er has no money. But if they are just after money, the more money Shu'er brings, the more it will be a deadly poison to her. First, take away the wealth given to them and let them wake up. If they wake up, then there is still room for negotiation. If they don't wake up, then we can't let our children be tortured to death by them." The eldest lady took Minglan's hand and said, "Good child, my sister-in-law has really taught you well. Only with a plan like you can you be worthy of the burden of being a mistress."

……

At night, Minglan helped the old lady to go to bed, and then returned to her room with Xiaotao and Langya.

Langya explained in detail what happened during the past half month. Xiaotao's blood boiled as she listened. "So, before you left, you personally went to wipe out that gang of bandits?"

Langya said proudly: "Yeah! What else? I watched them rob so many families, this revenge must be avenged!"

Xiao Tao laughed out loud: "Heroes! You two are heroes!"

Langya shook his finger: "No, I am the hero and Shitou is the hero's follower."

Xiao Tao frowned: "But that's not right, you didn't win the bet with Shitou, you said you changed into the garrison's clothes and then slipped in."

Langya grinned: "Only you and the girl know about this. If you don't tell anyone, how can the stone know?"

Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Right, right, right! Hahaha! As long as the girl and I don't tell anyone, Shitou will lose! Hahaha! You are really amazing!"
