Sheng Hong held her in his arms and rocked her back and forth, saying, "My dear Shuang'er, our meeting is a match made in heaven. How can you say this about yourself? It makes me sad."

Lin Qinshuang: "With Honglang's talent and appearance, he would be a good match for the princess of an imperial family. It was me...I was greedy for Honglang and gave birth to two children...I made Honglang swallow his anger for me and couldn't even make decisions about his own daughter..."

Sheng Hong seemed to have been hit in a sore spot: "Nonsense! Of course I can make the decision about my daughter!"

Lin Qinshuang: "Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. Mo'er is Honglang's daughter, so naturally Honglang has the final say. Although the eldest lady has a distinguished family background and is the daughter of a noble family, she is married into our Sheng family after all, so naturally she has to listen to Honglang..."

A few words revived the authority of the head of the family.

"Of course, I have the final say on what my daughter wants to learn!"

The next day, after leaving the court, Sheng Hong ran to Shou'an Hall and pretended to accompany the old lady to burn incense. He also tried to get Molan to attend Nanny Kong's class.

The old lady said: "She was frightened and fell ill. Didn't she have to stay in bed for more than a month? How can we let her go through this torture?"

Sheng Hong: "I think she has gotten better in the past few days. Besides, Madam Kong is here to teach them the rules, not to take them to the martial arts arena for training. She won't hurt her health anyway."

The old lady said, "But I heard you say before that she was very ill. Could it be that the doctor is trying to trick us for a few hundred dollars?"

Sheng Hong: "Not really, not really. I was there that day, and Mo'er was indeed seriously ill. It must be because Qinshuang took good care of her that she recovered quickly."

The old lady said, "Oh? That's a good thing. But she just recovered from a serious illness, so she shouldn't be overworked. Let her rest for a while to consolidate her health."

Sheng Hong: "How can a teenager be so weak? She is fine now, and she can attend classes."

The old lady nodded: "That's great. However, the children's training is all handled by the eldest lady, why did you come to tell me so much?"

Sheng Hong: "Mother, what are you talking about? You are our mother, and the eldest lady must follow your arrangements."

The old lady said: "We invited the person who taught us the rules to our home, and then I broke the rules myself. Isn't this a joke?"

Sheng Hong was so choked by her that he had to bite the bullet and go find the eldest lady.

The couple kept arguing, getting more and more angry. Finally, the wife said angrily, "Okay, fine! Since she's well now, let her make up for the punishment she received that day. She should be punished by being slapped on the palm and kneeling in the ancestral hall. She can go to class after she has confessed to her ancestors!"

Sheng Hong cursed with disgust: "Listen to what you are saying. You are so petty, even fussing over a child. Are you still a lady? You are just like a street vendor."

Madam: "You're talking about me as a street vendor? Why don't you talk about Lin Qinshuang's behavior in a brothel? The daughter you taught has no shame. She peeked into the front yard in broad daylight. She fell out! Didn't you see it? Or do you think Madam Wu and her son's laughter was not loud enough? I'm so embarrassed that I want to crawl into the ground, Sheng Hong!"

"How long has it been since that happened? No one outside has mentioned it, but you still talk about it every day?" Sheng Hong felt that he would not achieve his goal if he continued to argue like this, so he softened his tone and said, "Madam! I know you are doing this for the good of the children. Mo'er has reflected on herself in the room and she has realized her mistakes. You should stop harping on her mistakes."

The eldest lady said: "I am not holding her back, she is holding my Rulan back. Because of her affair, Rulan and Minglan were both tied up and locked up in the house for more than half a month. They were implicated, and letting them learn the rules now is a way to make up for it. What is Molan doing here?"

Sheng Hong realized that being soft still didn't work, so he started to scold again: "As the mistress of the family, why can't you treat everyone equally? You only let Rulan and Minglan attend the class, but you are always mean to Molan?"

The eldest lady's voice was louder than his: "Sheng Hong, listen to what you said! Am I mean to Molan? It was she who fell out of the front hall and lost face, it was she who brought shame to the whole family, and it was she who got sick from fear and had to stay in bed for more than a month. Oh, now that she sees good things, she can suddenly sit up? Is her illness completely healed? She still has the mind to complain about my faults in your ear? What a joke, even the actors can't pretend like this mother and daughter!"

Sheng Hong: "You, you, you are full of shit! Is this what a mother should say?"

The lady said: "My children would never do such shameless things as hers. My children are well-educated and well-mannered. Don't blame me for the bad behavior of that bitch!"

While the couple was arguing, Nanny Kong arrived.

"I came to discuss the girls' courses with the madam, and happened to hear the lord and the madam talking about what I learned in class, so I dared to come in." Madam Kong said politely.

Sheng Hong blushed and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself by letting Madam Kong see me. My daughter is not very worthy of me. She was rude in front of the guests a few days ago. I want her to come and listen to Madam Kong's teachings."

The lady glared at him with red eyes.

"That's a good idea! I would be honored as long as the girls are willing to listen." Madam Kong said with a smile.

"This... Madam Kong, the child has just recovered from a serious illness and is weak. I'm afraid that Madam Kong will be too tired." The lady was a little anxious.

"It's okay. What I teach you are just some simple things like tasting tea, burning incense, arranging flowers and hanging paintings. They don't require much physical effort." Madam Kong comforted.

It was too late for the lady to stop it, and her face fell.

Seeing the eldest lady being humiliated, Sheng Hong finally put on a smile and said to Madam Kong enthusiastically, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam!"

Molan successfully entered Grandma Kong's class.

……

On the first day, Madam Kong taught how to make tea, and none of the three Lans succeeded in making the tea foam stick to the cup. Molan continued to practice after returning to her room, while Rulan complained bitterly under the supervision of the eldest lady. Minglan, on the other hand, had already mastered it easily, but she didn't want to stand out, so she took the calligraphy copybook and practiced calligraphy as soon as she returned to her room.

On the second day, Madam Kong taught how to burn incense. Molan quickly mastered the trick and urged Madam Kong to teach her more. Rulan was so smoky that she almost set her sleeve on fire. Molan laughed and mocked her, and the two of them fought under the table several times. Minglan fiddled with it slowly and failed to light the incense until the end of the class.

On the third day, Madam Kong was teaching flower arrangement. Molan kept asking Madam Kong for advice. Rulan, who was standing by, couldn't get a word in. She was so angry that she smashed the flowers on the table. Seeing that the two were arguing more and more fiercely, Madam Kong simply said that she was going out to take medicine and wanted to keep the three sisters in the class.

At this time, Minglan said she had a stomachache and asked for half a day off, then she followed Nanny Kong out.
