Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

In addition to Dongrong, Changbai also returned to the study with Sheng Hong.

Just now, when Sheng Hong was interrogating Molan, Changbai and Dongrong had been hiding under the tree.

When Changbai heard Molan "accusing" Kang Jin of "crimes", he had already guessed the truth.

With Kang Jin's courage, there is no way he could do what Molan said.

If the fire was really set to silence someone, then the person who did it could only be Molan.

Changbai was also shocked by this speculation.

He could hardly believe that his sister, who grew up in his own home, could do such a cruel thing.

The father and son sat in the hall in silence, drinking tea in silence, immersed in the same shock in silence, and waiting in silence for the possibility of Chang Feng's survival.

"Bai'er," Sheng Hong spoke after a long while, but his voice was hoarse, "You should go and rest first. The Ministry of Rites has a lot of things to do. I and your mother are at home. You don't have to sit here with me all the time."

Changbai was indeed very tired.

He has not stopped for the past two days. After finishing his work at the court, he came back to comfort his mother and sister who were trying to commit suicide, and to help his father find out the truth... Fortunately, he has his wife Hai Chaoyun, who is always calm and at his side, helping him to hold back the Sheng family that is about to get out of control.

"Father, you should also go and have a rest. It will take a whole day to travel from Huaiyang to the capital without stopping, not to mention that we have to investigate and verify. We definitely can't wait today. You'd better take care of yourself. You will still be in charge of the subsequent matters."

Sheng Hong shook his head: "I can't sleep... When I think of Feng'er lying alone on the dark river... As a father... As a father, I can't sleep or eat well..."

Changbai: "If my third brother knew that father was so sad because of him, he would definitely feel bad. If father can't sleep, I will ask someone to get some soothing soup. Father, go back to the room and wash up first. I will ask Yang Hao to bring it in later. Father, drink it and then lie down."

"Good boy..." Sheng Hong suddenly choked up, "Why did Moer become like this, why did she become like this... Since I have such a good son like you, why did Moer become like that..."

He really couldn't understand why the child he gave birth to was so different?

Changbai bowed and said, "Father, I am an unfilial son. If I say something presumptuous, I will be punished by the family."

Seeing Sheng Hong covering his face and not saying anything, Changbai started to talk: "Although these brothers and sisters in the family all have our father's blood flowing in their veins, we are not raised by the same mother."

Sheng Hong listened quietly.

Changbai: "Father must have seen clearly what kind of person Miss Lin is at heart. But she kept holding on to the pain of father's childhood and always compared herself to his life experience, which made father feel extra pity for her. So no matter how big a mistake Lin Qi Pavilion made, father would always be soft-hearted and forgive them. Father was not really deceived by them, you just didn't want to discipline them with strict family rules. But it was father's indulgence time and time again that made them forget right and wrong and mistakenly believe that they were omnipotent."

Changbai looked outside the door and continued:

"Originally, the three of them, mother and son, were of one mind. But after what happened to Ayan, my third brother understood and grew up. He saw clearly his responsibilities and was unwilling to go along with the mother and daughter of the Lin family. Instead, he tried to restrain them. However, the mother and daughter of the Lin family did not recognize their own problems. Instead, they projected their hatred on my third brother, thinking that he had betrayed Lin Qi Pavilion... Father, the fire that Molan set on was not for my third brother, but for our Sheng family!"

Sheng Hong was startled: "What did you say?"

"My son said that the fire that Molan set was burning the Sheng family, the family rules that our entire Sheng family strictly abides by, and the inheritance passed down by our ancestors! If it wasn't my third brother on the boat that day, but..." He wanted to say Sheng Hong, but held back and changed to someone else, "...but it was me, Molan would still set fire to the boat without hesitation, because what she wanted was to avoid Yuyang's marriage and marry into a wealthy and prestigious family in Bianjing. What she wanted was her own glory and for their Linqi Pavilion to rise to the top and become a phoenix!"

Sheng Hong shuddered when he heard this.

Yes, if it was Changbai who was sent to marry this time, Molan would show no mercy.

If the one who got into trouble was Changbai... then Sheng Hong would probably go crazy!

Changbai: "Molan disregarded the reputation of the women in the family and committed the crime of eloping, but she wanted to push the crime onto the Kang family, so that we would have to settle with the Kang family, while she could hide behind them, avoid Youyang's marriage, and then find a better family to marry. As an elder brother, I hope to see my younger sisters marry into a high-class family. If they can marry into a noble family like the eldest sister, it will naturally be beneficial to our Sheng family. But I understand my father's considerations for her. Finding her a man of lower family and easy to control is so that she will not suffer in her husband's family in the future and will not be bullied by the man. I know that my father will definitely support that family in the future. Like my father, I am also prepared to support their family for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, Molan does not appreciate my father's painstaking efforts at all. What she wants is not stability, but face and endless wealth and glory."

He thought about how ashamed he felt when he went to ask Lord Wu from the Maritime Customs for help. He could imagine that if this matter got out, all the women in the family would never be able to hold their heads up in front of others for the rest of their lives.

"For the sake of her own face, she doesn't care about the lives of other people in the Sheng family. She doesn't care what will happen to her sisters, Changfeng's marriage, or her eldest sister in the Yuan family if this matter gets out. She just wants to be happy!"

Changbai knew that Sheng Hong had beaten Lin Qinshuang half to death, and learned from Dongrong that the two had fallen out.

What he needs to do now is to completely eradicate the cancer in his family!

"Father, what Molan wants is what Lin Xiaoniang wants. Lin Xiaoniang knew clearly about your arrangement for Molan, and she also arranged for Molan to elope, and was even ready to support her at any time. They are determined to climb up the social ladder by stepping on our Sheng family. They don't regard the Sheng family as their relatives at all, and they don't care about the lives of the Sheng family members at all. In their eyes, the Sheng family is just a stepping stone!"

The shame and anger of being toyed with spread to his head again. Sheng Hong slammed the teacup on the table and cursed in hatred: "Shameless!"

"Yes, father, they are really shameless. If they commit such a serious crime and father still condones it, then... then... then I really can't go to the ancestral hall to face the ancestors of the Sheng family again!"

He said it tactfully, but Sheng Hong understood it clearly. He was saying that if he, as the head of the family, continued to tolerate and condone such behavior, he would not be able to face his ancestors after his death.

This destroyed the good reputation accumulated by the Sheng family for generations.

Sheng Hong: "Then Bai'er, what do you think your father should do? Are you really going to ignore your brothers and sisters and bring Molan and her mother to justice?"

Changbai: "A thousand-mile dam can be breached by an ant hole. The worst thing a family can do is to tolerate evil. Molan and Lin Xiaoniang have harmed the entire Sheng family. They should be killed!"

Sheng Hong stood up anxiously: "How can we do that? Once the mother and daughter are beaten to death, if the news gets out, others will be able to guess the whole story. Then the reputation of your sisters will also be damaged. Then... then no one will dare to marry them!"

Changbai stiffened his neck and said loudly: "If the fifth and sixth sisters really can't get married, I will support them all their lives at home!"

Sheng Hong: "You are confused! This will ruin their lives!"

Changbai: "It would be foolish to keep Molan and Lin Xiaoniang alive!"

The father and son were in a stalemate and confronted each other!
