Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Chapter 165 Punishment [Thanks to the sponsor "Stand on the Moon for Punishment" for conti

Sheng Hong instinctively felt that this was impossible.

Minglan has always been as obedient as a lamb at home, how could she do such a cruel thing?

Wang Ruofu also thought it was impossible. She pointed at Molan and scolded, "Don't think you can avoid marrying to Youyang just because you are marrying your sister. The master has already made the decision, and you can't mess around."

Molan: "Madam! Go ask Yunzai and Luzhong. They were also in the mountains at the time. They heard what Gu Tingye's servant said. Go ask them if I am being unreasonable."

Wang Ruofu remembered that she had indeed asked Yun Zai Lu Zhong at that time, and saw that the two of them looked strange and were not very specific. At that time, Mother Liu said that there might be some hidden secret.

But later, the maid and the doctor sent by Madam Wu testified, and Lin Qinshuang herself called a yard of men to annoy Sheng Hong, which allowed Yun Zai Lu Zhong to escape.

Wang Ruofu was anxious and made up a story: "This...it's been a hundred or eighty years. How can they remember what happened at that time?"

Molan said firmly: "Madam, are you afraid that they will say something? Could it be that you are also involved in harming me?"

"You're full of shit!" Wang Ruofu stepped forward and was about to slap her. Seeing that Molan was trying to save Zhao from Wei again, Madam Liu stepped forward and pulled Wang Ruofu, saying, "Madam, you're tired. Have some tea first."

"What kind of tea should I drink? This little bitch just keeps slandering people's innocence. As the mistress of the house, why should I harm you? What benefit can I get from harming you?" Wang Ruofu didn't realize what the problem was.

As expected, Molan further tempted him: "Madam, you have been cruel to us at Linqi Pavilion for so many years. If you knew that Minglan and Gu Tingye wanted to harm me, wouldn't you have helped them? Now that I think about it, the carriage was moving so slowly, which delayed my chance to remove the trap. Later, my family couldn't find a good doctor to heal my injuries. I'm afraid it was all the work of Madam, right?"

Wang Ruofu swallowed hard. She had indeed not paid much attention to finding a doctor for Molan before, but she really didn't realize that she had delayed the opportunity.

Sheng Hong was stunned when he saw Wang Ruofu's expression. She had this expression every time she was exposed. He was shocked and asked, "You really want to harm Molan?"

Wang Ruofu blinked frantically: "I, I, I, I don't have it!"

"It was the doctor from the Yongchang Earl's Mansion who suggested that the carriage move slowly. He was worried that the girl would be in too much pain and was thinking about her. The doctor also testified to it!" Mother Liu said first.

Sheng Hong knew that Mrs. Liu always defended Wang Ruofu, so he used his eyes to force her to shut up and looked at Wang Ruofu: "Tell me yourself, what's going on?"

"It really wasn't me!" Wang Ruofu was in tears.

At this time, footsteps were heard and Chang Feng appeared in the hall with Yunzai Luzhong.

Chang Feng bowed and said, "Father, Mother, I brought the Yunzai Lu seeds with me. If you have any questions, please ask them."

Wang Ruofu was as if she had been granted amnesty, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! Ask them! They will definitely know what's going on!"

Sheng Hong glared at Wang Ruofu for the last time, then turned to Yun Zai Lu Zhong and said, "Tell me, what happened in the mountains on the day Molan was injured?"

Lu Zhong stood up and saluted, saying, "My Lord, that day the fourth girl was chasing Young Master Liang from the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion into the mountains, and she accidentally stepped on a trap left by someone else, and that's how she got injured."

Molan pointed at Lu Zhong and yelled, "You're talking nonsense! It was obviously Gu Tingye's servant who did it, and he even threatened me with a lot of words. You're confusing right and wrong!"

Lu Zhong: "Fourth Miss, do you think you can bribe me with a land deed to make me lie to my master? Although I sold myself to your house as a slave, I am still a man of integrity. Don't bribe me with money. Yun Zai and I remember clearly that there were only three of us in the mountains at that time. How could there be any servants?"

Chang Feng curled the corners of his mouth.

Molan was furious: "You are talking nonsense! You and third brother are in cahoots with each other and are here to harm me!" She and Lin Xiaoniang had to persuade the other party to take out the land deed that had been kept in the bottom of the box. They then went to Yunzailuzhong to bribe the other party, hoping that they would obey her again. However, she didn't expect that the two of them would say one thing in front of her and another behind her back, and dealt her a fatal blow at this critical moment.

Lu Zhong was extremely calm, without any guilt for lying, and said coldly, "Fourth Miss, I am a servant of Linqi Pavilion and even more so of the Sheng family. I said these words just to fulfill my duty and I didn't mean to harm anyone. Besides, Third Brother is the son of the Lord and the master of Linqi Pavilion after all. You are so disrespectful to him, which really makes us servants feel disappointed."

Molan cried and begged Sheng Hong, "Daddy, Daddy! Luzhong and Yunzai both climbed into Third Brother's bed. They...they climbed up to me for Third Brother. Don't take what they said seriously!"

Chang Feng asked sadly, "Fourth sister, I am your biological brother, why would I hurt you?"

Molan: "You want to seize the power of Linqi Pavilion! You want to avenge your illegitimate daughter!"

Sheng Hong shouted angrily: "Shut up!" He had already said that the family was not allowed to mention Chang Feng's illegitimate daughter anymore. However, Molan was so angry that she lost her mind and violated the family taboo, which wiped out the last bit of protectiveness that Sheng Hong had left.

Chang Feng sighed, "Sister, I know you are infatuated with Liang Liulang from the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, so you were anxious to chase him when you saw him going into the mountains with a few courtesans on the day of the polo match. But on the day of Second Brother's wedding, he had already made it very clear that he had no interest in you and did not want to marry you! I locked you up at home and did not let you go out, also to make you sober, so that you would not be blinded by lust and do something that would bring shame to the family. You...you don't understand my painstaking efforts, but why do you still hate me? And you even brought these dirty words to Dad to disturb him? You really...you really disappoint me!"

He said the cruelest words in the most caring tone.

As soon as he said this, Sheng Hong immediately understood why Molan had the audacity to trick Liang Han into going to Linqi Pavilion on the day of Changbai's wedding. He stepped forward and slapped Molan in the face: "You shameless thing! Are you going to disgrace the whole family!!!"

"Dad! That's not the case, Dad! My brother is confusing right and wrong! Dad, Dad..." Molan wanted to argue, but Sheng Hong wouldn't listen any longer. He waved his hand and asked someone to take the crying mother and daughter of the Lin family back to Linqi Pavilion. The hall finally quieted down.

The room was full of people and no one dared to breathe.

Sheng Hong drank the tea exhaustedly, sip after sip.

Wang Ruofu wanted to add more tea for him, but she was afraid and sweated profusely.

Sheng Hong finally finished the tea in the cup, looked around the room, and asked, "Where is Changbai's wife?"

Dong Rong: "My lord, the Second Young Master's wife just went to the door to see Madam Hai off and then went back to Qingfeng Hall." Hai Chaoyun didn't want to go back to the main hall to listen to gossip. She just wanted to go back to her room to rest and take care of her baby in peace.

Sheng Hong: "Go call her over."

Everyone looked at Sheng Hong in surprise and doubt.

After a while, Hai Chaoyun was brought in, and Sheng Hong said directly: "From today on, you will temporarily take over the power of housekeeper."

Hai Chaoyun looked at Wang Ruofu blankly, and Wang Ruofu blurted out: "What!"

Sheng Hong didn't look at her and continued to say to Hai Chaoyun: "Just go ahead and do it. Don't be afraid of not doing it well. As long as you don't lend money out or do business that will cause lawsuits, you can do whatever you want."

These words pointed at Wang Ruofu's faults. She yelled, "That happened hundreds of years ago, and everyone who deserved punishment has already been punished. Why are you using this to punish me now?"

Sheng Hong closed his eyes in anger and said, "Think about it, why am I punishing you now?"

Wang Ruofu: "If it was for Molan, then everyone heard what she said just now. It was Molan who got hurt because she was shameless enough to chase Liang Han. What does it have to do with me?"

Sheng Hong opened his eyes and looked at her intently: "Are you deliberately delaying Mo'er's illness?"

Wang Ruofu choked.

Sheng Hong sneered: "Good, really good. As the daughter of the Wang family and the mistress of the Sheng family, you actually delayed the injury of the concubine's daughter for personal grudges. You are really virtuous!"

Wang Ruofu yelled, "I didn't mean to do that! It was the doctor who asked the carriage to go slower, and later... later it wasn't me who delayed Molan's illness, it was you, my lord, who were unwilling to hire famous doctors for her..." Before she could finish her words, Sheng Hong slapped her in the face.

This is the secret guilt in Sheng Hong's heart, and he will not allow anyone to expose it in public.

"You...you dare to hit me! Sheng Hong, you are really crazy, you dare to hit me!" Wang Ruofu covered her face and cried, "My father never hit me, you...you actually hit me in front of so many people!"

After giving the slap, Sheng Hong realized that he had gone too far, but with so many juniors in front of him, it was impossible for him to give in.

"I hit you not only because of Molan, but also because you tried to matchmake the Hai family behind my back!" Sheng Hong quickly found a point of support for his behavior. "You kept saying that this tea party was for the reunion of the in-laws and daughters-in-law. I believed you and even specially avoided it with Feng'er, wanting you and your mother to have a good time. But it turns out that you didn't have that intention at all. You went through so much trouble just to do something for your sister. Madam, madam, is this how you repay my trust?"

Wang Ruofu knew that her entire army would be defeated if one of her weaknesses was pointed out. Now she was speechless and sobbed with her hands covering her face.

Sheng Hong waved his hand and said to Madam Liu, "Take your wife downstairs. Don't embarrass yourself here. Don't step out of the room again until she understands her mistakes."
