He originally felt ashamed of the masked lady's instructions, thinking that the two ladies were setting him up. Now he realized that he had misunderstood them, and thought that he was doing a good deed, so he immediately sent someone to Sheng's house to deliver a letter.

Lin Qinshuang was so happy when she received the news that she danced with joy: "Wang Ruofu, Wang Ruofu, this time I will let everyone see your son's true face. I will see if you dare to show off in front of me again!"

As she said this, she picked up the handkerchief, burst into tears, and ran all the way to Sheng Hong's study.

Sheng Hong was practicing calligraphy when he saw Lin Qinshuang rushing into the room in a daze. He asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Shuang'er? Who bullied you?"

Lin Qinshuang pretended to be terrified and grabbed Sheng Hong's neck: "Honglang, Honglang..."

Sheng Hong couldn't help but feel worried when he saw her like this. He held the pen in one hand and hugged her with the other: "Don't be afraid, Shuang'er, I'm here. What happened?"

Lin Qinshuang: "Honglang, my people were shopping on the street and happened to run into Zhu Manniang from a few days ago. They said that she was chatting and laughing with a rich young man as they entered a hotel..."

Sheng Hong exhaled: "So that's what happened."

He put the pen on the pen stack with a smile and comforted her: "That lowly creature was not a good person to begin with. She was discovered by the lady when she was trying to flirt with Changbai, and now she has no other choice but to become a secret prostitute. What does it have to do with us? You don't have to worry, don't cry, ah." As he spoke, he wiped her tears carefully.

Lin Qinshuang held his hand, put her mouth close to his ear, and whispered, "People said that the one who went was the young master of the Sheng Mansion!"

She spoke in a very soft voice, but it sounded like a loud bell to Sheng Hong's ears. He stood up suddenly and pushed Lin Qinshuang to the ground.

He thought for a while, forced a smile on his face, and shook his head, saying, "I know Changbai best. He is an upright person and would never do such a thing."

Lin Qinshuang: "Then why did Zhu Manniang come to our house? And why did she only look for Changbai?"

Sheng Hong: "Zhu Manniang has signed the agreement. She came here purely for money to blackmail us."

Lin Qinshuang: "There are so many rich and noble men in Tongbianjing, why did she pick Changbai? Flies never bite cracked eggs, Honglang!"

Sheng Hong couldn't stand it any longer and yelled, "Impossible!"

Lin Qinshuang climbed onto his lap, pulled his sleeve, and said, "Honglang, keep your voice down! Although there are many cases of young men and beautiful women in Bianjing, but..."

Sheng Hong roared, "What do you mean by a gentleman and a beautiful lady? He is just a singing prostitute!"

He turned around twice, called Dongrong, and asked him to go and see if Changbai was in the room.

Dongrong came back and reported that Changbai had taken Hanniu to Daxiangguo Temple to buy ink.

Lin Qinshuang murmured quietly beside him: "There is no ink at home for him to use, so why should my second brother go to look for it himself?"

The more Sheng Hong thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his hands began to tremble slightly.

Changbai is his most valued son, who is outstanding in both literary talent and character. He places the future of the Sheng family on this eldest son.

He was still waiting for Changbai to pass the imperial examination and find him a wealthy and powerful wife, so that he could rise to prominence from then on!

If he develops a lustful habit now, which noble lady will be willing to marry him in the future?

He could not allow or accept Changbai doing such a thing.

No!

Lin Qinshuang saw his expression and added fuel to the fire: "Many people saw them hugging each other as they entered the room. I heard that when the shopkeeper went up to serve wine, he saw the two of them in dishevel..."

Sheng Hong's eyes were bloodshot and he yelled, "Shut up!" He picked up the family stick and rushed out the door. It was Dong Rong who persuaded him to get on the sedan chair.

A group of people rushed to the door of the inn. Dong Rong looked up and recognized the servant who was wandering outside the inn. He said to Sheng Hong, "Isn't this Song Wan who was beside my second brother?"

Sheng Hong thought that Song Wan was trying to inform Chang Bai, and he became even angrier. He ordered his men to arrest Song Wan, surrounded the hotel, and went upstairs with family rules in hand.

The shopkeeper was afraid that Sheng Hong might hurt other customers by mistake, so he ran in front to lead the way. He thought that Lord Sheng's family education was really upright. If it were an ordinary official family, they would never care about their son coming out to try new things.

Sheng Hong arrived at the door and heard a woman's singing coming from inside. He was so angry that his veins were bulging. He kicked the door open, but was stunned by the scene in front of him - Chang Feng was drinking on Zhu Manniang with his clothes half taken off.

He thought he would see Changbai, but unexpectedly he caught Changfeng. His anger did not diminish, and he went forward to scold and beat him up.

Zhu Manniang screamed and rolled into the quilt. Sheng Hong asked the maid who came with her to tie her up and throw her to the ground.

Chang Feng was beaten and half naked, running around the room, shouting "Daddy, daddy, daddy".

Sheng Hong was completely merciless and never stopped hitting Chang Feng with the family stick in his hand. Soon, blood appeared on Chang Feng's body. He became even more scared and tried to run towards the door, but was blocked by Dong Rong and his men.

Dong Rong had received benefits from Lin Qinshuang, and he also knew that his master valued Lin. Now seeing Chang Feng like this, he gritted his teeth and went up to stop him.

As he moved, a gap appeared at the door. A man appeared out of nowhere and rushed into the house. He hugged Zhu Manniang on the ground and shouted, "Someone, come! Someone is killing people in the Sheng Mansion! The daughter of our good family has been defiled by him, and now they want to kill her to silence her!"

Sheng Hong's eyes were red with anger. He raised his family stick and shouted at the man, "Where did you get this thing from?"

The man faced the stick and said bravely: "I am Zhu Manniang's biological brother! Your son defiled my sister, do you still want to beat me to death as a father?"

Sheng Hong was so angry that he ordered people to tie him up as well.

The brother and sister had their hands and feet tied, but they were still shouting for help, so Sheng Hong had no choice but to have someone gag them again.

But these brother and sister were worthy of having sung in a drama troupe. Their earth-shaking shouts had attracted quite a few people to watch. Although they were blocked at the door by the servants of the Sheng mansion, they could hear every word of the words "Sheng mansion", "innocence" and "murder to silence" clearly.

During non-holiday times, those who can stay in hotels during the day are either businessmen or merchants. After all, they have all been exploited by the government, and when they hear that it is the children of officials who have committed crimes, they become verbally abusive.

"It's just that the young master is greedy, why do you have to implicate the businessmen? It's not easy for ordinary people to make a living!"

"In our dynasty, only officials are not allowed to visit prostitutes. I have never heard of anyone being arrested for selling their bodies."

"Sir, please show some mercy and leave a way out for the poor."

"How can it be considered as selling her? Isn't she claiming to be innocent? This is clearly abducting a woman!"

"Even if it wasn't force, forcing a woman of good character into prostitution is a serious crime! Even if you are an official, you cannot do that."

Sheng Hong's face flushed when he heard this, and he slapped Chang Feng a few more times out of anger. He originally wanted to tie Zhu Manniang back to Sheng Mansion to deal with her, but he didn't expect that Brother Zhu would show up and make everyone know about it. He was very concerned about his reputation and knew that he couldn't do anything to the brother and sister on the spot. He gritted his teeth and had them untie the brother and sister, and tried his best to lower his voice, saying, "You guys come back with me first."
