Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

The eldest lady finally found an opportunity to speak, sneering at Lin Qinshuang, "We are a clean and honest civil servant, and our family rules are so strict. The incident of Molan falling out of the front hall and being rude in front of others is still fresh in our memory, and Changfeng actually caused such a big disaster! A thing like you who came into my house with such a generous heart, but you don't even care about your own face, and now you come to harm the face of the master. In my opinion, it was a mistake to raise him in your house. You have corrupted a good child."

"Madam, I know you hate me. Changfeng got out, but you couldn't force me to death. You hate me and you beat me, but why did you force him to death?" Lin Qinshuang suddenly fell to the ground and cried, "Oh! Madam!! I swore long ago that I would not tell Honglang that you used the public treasury's money to lend at high interest to subsidize your family. Why do you have to force me like this!"

The lady suddenly looked flustered: "What...what? When did you say such a thing?"

"What usury?" Sheng Hong slammed the table.

"Nothing... nothing, nothing." The lady stood up from the couch with trembling hands and feet, and looked at Sheng Hong in horror.

Sheng Hong opened his mouth for a long time without saying anything. He understood the real meaning from the lady's panic and said with tears in his eyes, "Great, that's great! I heard Changbai talk about how you've been managing the household these days, and I thought you were reliable. Haha, I didn't expect that! You actually caught me by surprise here!"

Lin Qinshuang pressed the issue: "I also heard that my mistress bought a paddy field outside Bianjing and almost got into trouble. Fortunately, the old lady of the Wang family helped to settle the case. If it weren't for today, my mistress would have accused me of doing something improper and almost driven me to death. I... I..." She couldn't continue and could only sob.

According to her idea, these two things combined should be enough to make Sheng Hong furious with Wang Ruofu.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Hong suddenly turned his gun around, raised his chin to look at her, and asked:

"Why didn't you tell me about this before?"

Lin Qinshuang got stuck in the middle of crying.

Seeing this, Molan stepped forward and said, "Dad, the eldest lady is the master of the harem. I dare not make random comments. If I hadn't been wronged and was about to die, I would... I would have no choice but to..."

Sheng Hong snorted: "She doesn't dare to talk nonsense about the master of the harem? Then how dare she insult the old lady? Where does she get the courage to insult the grandmother at home!"

Lin Qinshuang said aggrievedly: "No, no, no... Honglang, I didn't..."

Molan: "It was my sixth sister who said she wanted to beat my mother to death, and...she even called her a little whore, so I just said that."

Sheng Hong looked at Wang Ruofu: "Is that so?"

Wang Ruofu was immediately shocked when she encountered what she had experienced: "Nonsense! Mother was sick in bed due to anger, Minglan passed on a message for her, asking me to take full control of the matter, Lin slandered mother for colluding with me, and openly cursed her, Minglan said she wanted to beat Lin to death for her grandmother's sake. You mother and daughter are really good at making up stories, and you are still making trouble at this critical moment!"

Lin Qinshuang: "Then does it mean that the eldest lady is not wrong to lend money at high interest and force others to buy their land? Just because you are the legitimate mother, everything you do is right? Just because I am a concubine, do I deserve to be wrongly killed by you?"

Sheng Hong looked at Madam Liu beside Wang Ruofu and said, "You, go and call Minglan to me."

Then he asked Wang Ruofu in an especially gloomy tone: "Tell me, what's going on with the paddy fields and the loan sharking money?"

The lady was dejected for a moment, and said in a voice so soft as a mosquito: "I... I didn't..."

Sheng Hong said coldly: "If you intend to hide it from me, I can still find out from others."

The eldest lady knew that she could no longer hide it, so she stammered, "Lending money to my sister to lend out and earn interest is also... a way to make money and supplement the family expenses. I... have never made a loss. Giving some of the interest earned to my sister can't be considered as supplementing my family..."

Sheng Hong slowly stood up from the couch, wanting to cry but unable to, "Ha, ha, ha, good, it's really good, our family is so poor, right? In the great Bianjing, at the foot of the emperor, at the foot of the imperial city, you are a government official's wife," Sheng Hong's finger almost poked the lady's face, "you dare to lend money at high interest, and you even dare to sue for land acquisition!"

The lady fell to her knees due to weak legs, and Rulan hurried forward and knelt beside her.

"I have figured it out," Sheng Hong put his face close to the eldest lady's eyes, "You want to see me dismissed from office, tattooed, and exiled, so that you will be happy, right?"

The lady had no idea that doing these things would bring guilt upon the Sheng family, and she kept shaking her head to deny it.

Seeing Wang Ruofu's defeat, Lin Qinshuang thought the conflict had been successfully diverted, and wanted to add fuel to the fire, so she hypocritically pleaded for the mistress: "Honglang, don't blame the mistress either."

Unexpectedly, Sheng Hong didn't fall for it this time. As soon as she spoke, Sheng Hong noticed her again and pointed at her and scolded her: "You too! You are so poor that you can't make ends meet. You have no other choice but to pawn your property, right?"

Lin Qinshuang argued, "No, no! This was a deal that was agreed upon a few months ago!"

She didn't know that Sheng Hong already knew that she had lost all her private property except two plots of land. After hearing this, Sheng Hong became even more angry: "So you were thinking of selling all the property I gave you a few months ago?"

Lin Qinshuang was speechless. Her eyes rolled back and she started to sob again.

Wang Ruofu also slammed the table and cried, "Sir! I am innocent! I am doing this for the good of the Sheng family!"

Molan also cried and begged: "Daddy, please don't wrongly accuse my mother!"

Rulan also started crying: "Father! Mother did this for the Sheng family!"

"Sir! ..."

"Hirou!..."

“Daddy!…”

"Father!……"

The wives, concubines and daughters in the room were howling so hard that the roof was almost breaking.

Sheng Hong felt like he was lying in the middle of the sea on a stormy day, the icy rain and huge waves almost suffocating him.

He suddenly yelled, "Shut up!"

The sound waves stopped abruptly.

The sudden silence made the sadness particularly dazzling. Sheng Hong looked around at his wife and daughter who were kneeling on the ground and wept, "Oh my God... When I was in the palace with my head hanging on my head, you were fighting each other at home... If I really got into trouble, would any of you follow me on the road to exile?"

Everyone on the ground just sobbed, and no one responded.

At this moment, a weak voice appeared at the door: "Father."

Sheng Hong looked up and saw that it was Minglan. He pointed at her and cursed: "Come, come, come, and you, kneel down too. I didn't know you were such a filthy person before. Why did you call Molan a little whore? Where did you learn these dirty words?"

Minglan knelt down and said, "Father, please understand. These words were clearly used by Fourth Sister to scold me and Master Jing'an. She is confusing right and wrong."

Molan turned around and said, "Sixth sister, you were very obedient before, why did you become like this now? Is it because Gu Tingye is backing you up?"

Everyone in the room pricked up their ears immediately, and Sheng Hong also opened his eyes wide.

Minglan felt cold in her heart: "Fourth sister, be careful with your words. This kind of words concerns a woman's reputation. You are my sister, how can you slander me with such words?"

Molan: "I slandered you? My subordinates saw it all. Yesterday at the entrance of Weiruixuan, you and Gu Tingye were hugging each other, and you're still trying to make excuses!"

Molan has learned the true skills from Lin Qinshuang and knows the usefulness of diverting trouble away.

Unfortunately, the opponent she met was Sheng Minglan, who was so familiar with this tactic that she could not only identify it accurately and counter it, but she could also apply it flexibly and draw inferences from it.

Minglan's eyebrows were curled into an "eight" shape: "Fourth sister, you can't frame others so recklessly just to help Lin Xiaoniang get away with the crime. I just asked the eldest lady to beat Lin Xiaoniang to death, are you so angry that you want to wrongly accuse me to death?"
