Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

It was after lunch the next day when the Sheng couple saw Ayan.

Sheng Hong looked at the face in front of him that looked like Chang Feng, and he felt like the top of his head was about to shatter.

The lady was extremely excited: "They look so similar, why do you need to interrogate them?"

Ayan's face was the living evidence of Lin Qige's guilt. From then on, whenever Sheng Hong saw this face, he would think of the dirty deeds done by Sheng Changfeng.

Ayan only knew Changbai among the people in the room. She hid behind Changbai timidly and whispered, "Uncle... Ayan is afraid..."

"Who told you to call me uncle?" the lady shouted. She couldn't bear to hear that her son had anything to do with such a bastard.

Ayan had been scolded by Zhu Manniang many times before, but seeing the eldest lady like this, she felt a sense of familiarity. She hid behind Changbai and stared at the eldest lady without crying or making a fuss.

"Heh," Sheng Hong squinted at her, "you're quite courageous."

Changbai put his hands behind his back and gently touched Ayan's head, and said to her parents: "The child is innocent."

The lady ignored Changbai and stared at Ayan and asked, "What was your name?"

Ayan: "Sheng Biyan."

The lady snorted when she heard the word "Sheng": "Our family hasn't even acknowledged her yet, and you're adding her last name first? How shameless."

Sheng Hong: "Bi Yan... a flawed jade is a jade, and a skillful technique is a beauty. You are quite self-aware. How old are you this year?"

Ah Yan: “Five years old.”

"Five years old... when did that happen..." The lady frowned and thought, and suddenly remembered that a few years ago when Wei Shuyi became a nun, she went to Yuqing Temple for fortune-telling. At that time, the Taoist priest said that she was already a grandmother, and she suspected that he was deceiving her.

"The hidden jade in the stone!" the lady exclaimed, "The old Taoist actually predicted it all!"

"How can you be so startled?" Sheng Hong was startled by her, "Why are you not as calm as a child?"

The lady quickly shut up, but secretly made up her mind to go to Yuqing Temple to ask for divination again. Thinking that Wei Shi was born in Yuqing Temple, she also had hope for Wei Shi:

[My family can't really produce a half-immortal, right? ]

She decided to be extra nice to the Wei family and their three children in the future.

The lady was daydreaming, while Sheng Hong was feeling dizzy.

After a night's rest, Sheng Hong's mood had calmed down a lot just as Chang Bai had expected. When he saw the child now, his worry was greater than his anger, and he was only worried about what to do with the child.

"I heard that there was another boy who ran away with that evil woman." Changbai pulled his father out of his thoughts.

Sheng Hong gnashed his teeth and said, "How shameless! You want to threaten our Sheng family with a male offspring? You're dreaming! A child born by a prostitute using despicable means, do you think you can be included in our Sheng family tree?"

Changbai was afraid that Sheng Hong would really say that he would beat the child to death, so he quickly replied, "My son has been thinking about it all night. Since it is my third brother's child, why not return it to Linqi Pavilion and let Lin take care of it."

Sheng Hong frowned: "How can I keep it at home?"

Changbai: "If we release it, people will gossip about it."

Sheng Hong looked at Ayan's face which looked very similar to Changfeng's and nodded slightly, agreeing with what Changfeng said.

Neither the father nor the son could think of a good solution, so they both looked at the lady.

But the lady was thinking about the immortals at the time, and did not realize that it was her turn to speak.

"Hey, what do you mean?" Sheng Hong poked Wang Ruofu's shoulder.

The lady woke up as if from a dream: "Ah? What?"

Changbai: "My son said that we should put Ayan in Linqi Pavilion and let Lin raise her."

"Of course!" The lady nodded immediately. "Do I have to clean up the mess her son has caused? I don't want to raise a granddaughter for that bitch."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she immediately covered her mouth and looked at Sheng Hong with a sidelong glance.

Fortunately, Sheng Hong did not defend Lin as usual, and there was no emotion on his face today.

"Later, I will include this child's share in Linqi Pavilion's salary." Wang Ruofu tried to make up for her previous harshness.

Sheng Hong said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this. Minglan will be responsible for the housekeeping affairs from now on. Just reflect on your mistakes in Weiruixuan."

Wang Ruofu was stunned: "What?!"

The shame of being mocked as a "concubine's housekeeper" during those years in Yangzhou came back to me again.

Sheng Hong: "I have already discussed this with my mother. You lent money, collected taxes, and forcibly bought paddy fields. Don't think you can get away with it. I am taking away your stewardship so that you can have some time to reflect on yourself."

The eldest lady stood up and said, "Sheng Hong, you are such a ruthless person! I have worked diligently as your nanny for so many years, and even trained a top-ranking Jinshi. Now, oh, just for two acres of land, you are using an unmarried little girl to trample on me. You... you are really going too far!"

Sheng Hong: "You made such a big mistake, do you still expect the whole family to pretend nothing happened?"

The eldest lady: "Isn't it all for the Sheng family that I did that?"

Sheng Hong: "Can you disregard the laws of the court just for the sake of the Sheng family?"

The eldest lady said: "As long as we don't say anything and my eldest sister doesn't say anything, no one will know!"

Sheng Hong pointed at the lady and cursed, "You, you are really stupid! What kind of sister would instigate her sister to do such a calamity?"

The eldest lady looked at Changbai and said, "Bai'er, please say something for me!"

Changbai shook his head and said to the eldest lady, "Father is right. If you do something wrong, you should admit your guilt. Aunt Kang is not a good person. Mother should stay away from her in the future."

The lady was so angry that she gasped repeatedly: "If this gets out, I will become a laughing stock in the whole Bianjing!"

Changbai said calmly: "This way, mother can reflect more deeply."

Seeing that the father and son had no intention of letting her go, the eldest lady's eyes welled up with tears. She lowered her posture and voice, almost begging Changbai: "Then...then, I will go to my eldest sister to collect all the loan money...and, I will sell all the paddy fields, so that these two things will be settled!"

Changbai shook his head: "Even if the account is settled, the deed has been done. If mother is not punished, how can she convince others in the future?"

The eldest lady slammed the table angrily: "I am the legitimate daughter of the Wang family! Who in the entire Sheng family dares to disobey!"

Sheng Hong: "Is a legitimate daughter so great? Can a legitimate daughter win the support of the people?"

"I... I... my father deserves to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!!!" The lady yelled, pointing at the Sheng family father and son, "You... you guys with the surname Sheng, you just want to force me to death! All of you want to force me to death!"

After saying that, he ran out of the hall crying.

Mother Liu hurriedly bowed to Sheng Hong and Chang Bai to apologize and quickly followed.

Changbai watched his mother leave worriedly, then turned to look at his father. Sheng Hong waved his hand and said, "She's always like this, never reflecting on her mistakes. Just let her be. We can't explain it to her."

"Father, everything else is easy to deal with, but this Aunt Kang is so bold. If we don't wake up Mother as soon as possible, I'm afraid something bad will happen in the future."

"Haha, there's no need for later. Just two days ago, your aunt Kang brought her own daughter, Yuner, home and told your mother that she wanted to be your wife. She asked you if you were afraid?"

"No, no, no, no! Absolutely not!!!" Changbai was horrified. "I'm not saying that cousin Yuner is bad, but we must not marry Aunt Kang! No matter which of her daughters we marry!"

Sheng Hong laughed: "You see, we all try to avoid her, but your mother thinks her elder sister is good in every way."

Changbai was sweating profusely. "If you hesitate, you will suffer the consequences. They must not have let my uncle know about the loan, otherwise, he would have stepped in to stop it. Otherwise, I will send a letter to tell Uncle Kang about this matter and ask him to discipline my aunt."

Sheng Hong: "No. You are a junior, how can you gossip about the elders? Besides, you will soon enter the Imperial Academy, and you will inevitably need the Wang family in the future. Although this Kang Wang is not presentable, she is the lifeblood of old lady Wang. If you offend her, it will not be so easy to get help from the Wang family in the future."
