Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Wang Ruofu was also angry and said, "Back then, Lin Qinshuang forced me to drink her concubine's tea even though she was pregnant. Now Molan is following suit and using the reputation of our entire family to force us to submit. My Lord, you must not agree to this!"

Sheng Hong was also very angry, but the reason for his anger was that Kang Jin's behavior seriously offended his face and reputation. He said to Kang Jin: "Even if my nephew has any ideas, why can't he just tell me directly? Why do you have to tarnish my daughter's reputation in front of so many people? How can my daughter face people in the future?"

Kang Jin: "Just now I met my fourth cousin in front of the main hall. She was unable to move and almost fell. I stepped forward to help her, but this maid not only did not help but also made sarcastic remarks. I couldn't stand it, so I personally helped my cousin back to Linqi Pavilion. Uncle, my cousin is your daughter after all. How can you allow your servants to bully her and her daughter so unscrupulously? This is too disgraceful."

Sheng Hong was so embarrassed that he looked at the mother and daughter of the Lin family lying on the ground and asked, "Is this true?"

Molan cried and said, "It's true, Daddy. The servants in Linqi Pavilion have been bullying my mother and me. They are sarcastic and aggressive. Once, my mother caught them spitting in the soup...Father, please save Moer, save me!" As she spoke, she knelt down at Sheng Hong's feet, pulled his clothes and begged.

Sheng Hong turned around and glared at Chang Feng, asking, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to take good care of Linqi Pavilion?"

Chang Feng bowed his head and said, "Father! These are actually misunderstandings. Molan and my mother have stayed in the yard for too long, so they are bound to feel resentful and have been critical of me and everyone in Linqi Pavilion." After saying that, he lowered his head and turned to Molan, giving her a threatening look.

Molan shrank back in fear, but Lin Qinshuang was not afraid and spoke boldly, "Brother Feng has been messing around with these maids in the yard every day, so he must have listened to a lot of their whispers. But Moer and I can't just be wrongly killed like this! My nephew also saw it just now. These servants were so arrogant because they had Brother Feng's support, and they didn't take us mother and daughter seriously at all."

What was said is indeed true.

Wang Ruofu was quick to notice the problem and scolded, "How can you call me nephew?"

Wang Ruoyu also reacted and said to Sheng Hong sarcastically: "My brother-in-law's family is really strict. A mistress dares to call my son nephew like the wife. It's really ridiculous."

Sheng Hong angrily scolded Lin Qinshuang: "Shut up! Stop embarrassing me!"

Lin Qinshuang was too proud of herself just now and thought she was about to turn the tables, but after being scolded by Sheng Hong, she immediately shrank to the ground and stopped talking.

Chang Feng was worried that his unruly behavior in Linqi Pavilion would be exposed, but he didn't expect that Wang Ruofu and her sister would bring the war upon themselves in the chaos, and rescue him instead. Chang Feng was secretly delighted, and quietly retreated to a corner without saying a word.

Kang Jin: "Uncle, things have come to this point. If my cousin and I don't get engaged, there will be no end to it. Please allow this marriage."

Kang Wangshi and Wang Ruofu shouted at the same time: "No!"

Although Sheng Hong was also very reluctant, he felt that Kang Jin's words made some sense - so many people saw Kang Jin and Molan hugging each other, if he didn't say that they were engaged, what would happen to the reputation of the Sheng family? What would happen to his reputation?

Sheng Hong waved his hand and said, "Let me think about this. Nephew, please come back to the main hall with me. This is the backyard after all. It's not proper for you to stay here for a long time. Let's go to the front hall and talk about it."

……

Chang Feng was called back by Yun Zai, and Sheng Hong was called back by Lang Hao. After Lang Hao accompanied Sheng Hong home, he met Chang Feng and Yun Zai who had just entered the house. After a brief exchange of information, Lang Hao and Yun Zai returned to Qingfeng Hall and synchronized the latest news to the mother and daughter of the Hai family.

Madam Hai stood up from her chair and said, "Since Lord Sheng is back, let's go to the front hall to meet him."

The youngest daughter of the Hai family hesitated and said, "Mother, do you want to wait a little longer? Mr. Sheng must have to deal with family affairs first. If we are present, it may not be appropriate."

Hai Chaoyun: "No, we should go. Since the father-in-law was called back by Langhao, he must know that mother also knows about this. If we hide in Qingfeng Hall and don't go out, he will suspect that we are making fun of the Sheng family. It is better to meet him openly and talk to him face to face, so that there will be no grudges in the future."

Madam Hai nodded: "Yes, Yun'er said exactly what I was thinking. Let's go to the front hall to finish our conversation and then go home. Master Sheng can spend the rest of the time to take care of household affairs."

Not long after the mother and her two daughters arrived at the front hall, Sheng Hong arrived with a large group of people.

When he saw Madam Hai from a distance, he bowed and said, "Mother-in-law!"

Madam Hai: "Father-in-law!"

When they got closer, they bowed again. The three daughters of the Hai family also bowed to Sheng Hong according to their respective status. After that, Sheng Hong said to Mrs. Hai with a sense of guilt: "I wanted to have a good gathering with my in-laws, the children and my daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect to make you laugh."

He tried to ask indirectly whether the Hai family had heard the news.

Madam Hai said: "Every family has its own problems. Which head of a family doesn't have a lot of suffering? Lord Sheng and his wife work so hard, but they still take such good care of my daughter. I can only be grateful. Even if I smile, it is a smile of relief."

This is an admission that one already knows about the Sheng family, but it also tells the other party that with Chao Yun in the middle, the Hai family and the Sheng family are on the same front.

Sheng Hong was touched by the thoughtfulness and bowed repeatedly: "It was my mother-in-law who raised such an outstanding daughter like Chao Yun. We should be thankful to God for having such a daughter-in-law."

Madam Hai said: "We are all parents, and we only care about our children. Seeing that our daughter is well taken care of, we have nothing else to ask for. I see that Master Sheng has a lot of things to do, and we have said enough. We will not bother you any more and will leave now."

Sheng Hong: "Why are you coming back so soon? Stay and have dinner before coming back!"

Madam Hai said with a smile, "Just now, my mother-in-law treated us to a lot of delicious tea and snacks. We are already very full, and we really can't swallow a bite of dinner. Our two families will have to visit each other more often in the future, so there is no rush. Master Sheng should take care of the family affairs first, and bring your mother-in-law and son-in-law to visit my house another day."

Sheng Hong: "Of course, our two families should visit each other more often. Today... hey, today..." He wanted to remind Hai's mother and daughter not to tell anyone what happened here today, but he didn't know how to say it in a more decent way.

Madam Hai had been waiting for a long time and said, "Now our two families prosper together and suffer together. If there is any problem, we should solve it at home. But we must not make a fuss outside, so as not to hurt our common reputation."

He took the initiative to persuade those present not to tell anyone else and also made his attitude clear.

Sheng Hong was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, our two families' reputations are linked. If one family makes a fool of itself, both families will lose face. My wife and I will definitely handle our family affairs well and will never embarrass our in-laws."

Wang Ruofu felt guilty and didn't dare to say a word from beginning to end, for fear that the Hai family would reveal how they had been tricked into coming to meet the Kang family and how Kang Wang had said rude things.

Of course Madam Hai would not do such a thing. She didn't like to meddle in other people's family affairs. Besides, she knew very well that her daughter was now a daughter-in-law in the Sheng family. If she offended Wang Ruofu out of momentary anger, wouldn't Hai Chaoyun's life in the Sheng family be miserable in the future?

Madam Hai held Wang Ruofu's hand affectionately and said, "Mother-in-law, thank you for taking care of my daughter. Let's talk about the family matters in a nice and slow manner. There is always a solution. Don't worry too much. It's harmful to your health!"

Wang Ruofu laughed awkwardly and said, "Of course... of course..."

Madam Hai took her daughters to say goodbye to the Sheng family and left in a hurry. She did not even let Sheng Hong and his wife go out to see them off, and only let Hai Chaoyun go out.

When they reached the door, Madam Hai held her eldest daughter's hand and said earnestly, "This aunt from the Kang family is a domineering woman. You must not get involved with her in the future. If you really can't avoid her, just be patient and tell mother later. I will find her back for you. Don't confront her head-on."
