Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Madam Wang was overjoyed. She clasped her hands and bowed in the house: "Thank God, thank the Bodhisattva, thank the immortal! That day I went to Yuqing Temple to draw lots. Someone said there was a master who could give me guidance on the hidden jade in the stone. I thought the old Taoist was lying to me, but it turns out to be true! The master is here! Thanks to my mother, we were able to invite such a master. With my mother taking care of them, the children will surely have smooth sailing in the future!" Her eyes were shining as she looked at the old lady.

The old lady saw the silly look of the eldest lady and thought that this daughter-in-law was quite interesting when she was not confused. She continued with a kind look, "Hualan suffered in her husband's family. Her mother-in-law is cunning, and she can't keep up with the knowledge of the Earl's Mansion. Burning incense, making tea, hanging paintings, and arranging flowers, these four elegant things, she has done them in an untidy manner, and her sisters-in-law often laugh at her."

When Madam Wang heard Hua Lan's shortcomings being mentioned, her face instantly fell: "Humph, so what if they are from the Earl's Mansion? They are not military generals, what do they know about elegance? They are just looking for trouble!"

The old lady shook her head: "I have to tell you about this. These things are not very useful, but it is a different story when you get married. Didn't you learn these things when you were in your boudoir? They are different when you take them out! Otherwise, I will be attracted to you at first sight?"

The old lady talked about her and praised her at the same time. Wang Ruofu felt relieved and turned to look at the old lady.

"It's not good to spread what happened today, but to be honest, it was Molan who did the wrong thing, and the sisters were just implicated in their reputations. If we want to turn the situation around, we should start from here."

The lady leaned forward: "What does mother mean?"

"When I lived in the palace, there was a little palace maid named Kong..."

"Madame Kong from the palace?"

"Yes. If you are willing to give up Rulan, I will invite her to my house and teach the two children a lesson so that they can learn the rules. If they do anything wrong, just let Madam Kong beat them with a stick. First, it will temper their tempers, and second, it will be done for people outside to see, so that others will know that our Sheng family is very strict and methodical in disciplining our daughters. As for Molan, she is in poor health and will fall down after being scolded a few times, so she doesn't need to come to such a difficult course. In this way, your husband won't have to use any family rules anymore."

The older lady became happier and happier as she listened, finally baring her teeth and saying happily: "This is a great way to get rid of the fire! Mother is truly a female Zhuge Liang! If there were an imperial examination for women in our dynasty, mother would definitely take first place!"

The old lady laughed out loud: "You have a very pleasant mouth. Come on, have some tea."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted affectionately until the evening, when the eldest lady came out of Shou'an Hall in high spirits. She returned to her room, closed the door and smiled secretly, thinking of the masters the old lady had invited for the children. She no longer cried and shouted for Sheng Hong to punish Molan.

Lin Qinshuang waited in Linqi Pavilion for a long time but the lady didn't show any outburst, and she felt very puzzled.

However, at the moment, her top priority is not Wang Ruofu, but Sheng Hong.

She must calm Sheng Hong's anger first.

Molan had already agreed with her to "pretend to faint" before they set off.

Everyone in Linqi Pavilion knew that it was against the rules of the Sheng family to go to the front hall without being summoned. But Lin Qinshuang was really worried that Wang Ruofu would deliberately hide Molan and send Ruolan to the Earl of Yongchang's mansion. Molan was also afraid that Ruolan would step on her and marry into a wealthy family before her, so even if she risked being punished by the family law, Molan had to go to the front hall to take a look.

The mother and daughter agreed that if they were accidentally discovered, Molan would pretend to faint on the spot to get away with it, while Madam Zhou would quickly rush back to Linqi Pavilion and bring in Lin Qinshuang as a reinforcement.

Unexpectedly, Molan's appearance was so "dazzling" that she couldn't pretend to faint in front of so many people, and Madam Zhou was also trapped in Weiruixuan and could not inform the public in time.

Molan waited until the guests left and Sheng Hong was about to have an attack before she used her trick and fainted.

Mr. Sheng lived up to the high expectations of the mother and daughter and fell into the trap again. Whether he did it intentionally or not, Molan escaped the punishment of being severely beaten in Weiruixuan.

To be on the safe side, Lin Qinshuang had already invited a doctor before going to Weiruixuan. She also stuffed a large purse into the doctor's pocket and asked him to exaggerate the severity of Molan's illness.

Sheng Hong was watching the doctor taking the pulse in Linqi Pavilion. He frowned more and more as he felt the pulse, and his heart started to tighten. "How is it? How is my daughter?"

Doctor: "The pulse at the Cunkou is weak and short, which is a sign of being frightened. The girl's lips are pale and her eyes are blue. This means she is too frightened and seriously scared..."

After sending the doctor away, Sheng Hong sat back down beside Molan's bed, feeling guilty: "I was just angry for a moment, how could I have scared the child like this? I really am..."

Lin Qinshuang stood aside and wiped her tears: "Molan was disrespectful in the front hall, she should be punished. This illness is the punishment from the ancestors, she should bear it."

The more harsh her words were, the more Sheng Hong felt sorry for Molan.

"You are such a cruel mother. Now that your daughter is so ill, you should stop blaming her. It will only make her more heartbroken."

"Yes, my lord, that's right."

Sheng Hong tucked the quilt for Molan and said, "Since she is so ill, she should not go to school for the time being. She should rest for a few more days and go back after she recovers. She is not going to take the imperial examinations, so there is no need to tire herself out for studying."

Lin Qinshuang nodded in agreement. But then she thought, no, if this were the case, then only Minglan and Rulan would be in the academy, hanging around the young master every day. Wouldn't that be a bargain for these two little rascals?

She walked slowly in front of Sheng Hong and said, "My Lord, I am terrified. I feel guilty when I think of the reputations of Rulan and Minglan being dragged down by Molan. If the two girls go to school every day, won't they be laughed at by the young master every day..."

Sheng Hong waved his hand: "The young master is a very kind person, he would not be like this."

Lin Qinshuang covered her face with a handkerchief: "Even if the young master wouldn't do that, what about the servants around him? They may not have the self-restraint of the young master. And Gu Er, if he knew about this, would he ridicule the two girls in person? I heard that this Gu Er is the most shameless..."

Sheng Hong's expression gradually became solemn.

Lin Qinshuang started crying again: "Oh, it's all my fault. I didn't teach Molan well, and let her get her two younger sisters into trouble... I, I really deserve to die..."

Sheng Hong sighed, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Don't cry, Shuang'er, I know you are afraid that they will be laughed at in the school. In this case, let them not go to the school for now, embroider in the house, take a rest, and go again later."

Lin Qinshuang raised her tearful eyes to look at him: "But this...will the old lady and the eldest lady agree?"

Sheng Hong gently wiped her tears and said, "This is for the sake of the two children. They will definitely agree." After that, he called Dong Rong to notify Wei Ruixuan and Shou'an Hall.
