"You, you..., I'll beat you to death, you rebellious girl."
Sheng Hong was so angry that he lost his mind. He rushed to Hua Lan and raised his hand to hit her. Hua Lan stared at her with amusement.
Just as Sheng Hong's slap was about to fall on Hua Lan's face, a loud shout suddenly came.
"Father-in-law."
Sheng Hong's movements froze for an instant, and his expression changed. He quickly retracted his hand and looked outside with a bad expression.
Zhou Chen, wearing a purple official robe, walked in slowly.
Looking across the hall, Zhou Chen knew Hua Lan's breath was relatively stable.
"Father-in-law."
Sheng Hong said with some embarrassment: "Shu Yuan, why are you here?"
Zhou Chen's face remained unchanged and he said calmly: "I heard that Stepbrother and Sister Fu were bullied. As a father and uncle, why don't I come over to see what's going on?"
Sheng Hong quickly said: "Shu Yuan, it's not that exaggerated. Stepbrother is my grandson. No one in the Sheng family dares to bully him. It's just a fight among children. The same goes for Hua'er. You're so busy, why do you want to bully him?"
You called me over."
He thought that Zhou Chen was called by Hualan to support him, which made him even more uncomfortable. It was enough for his daughter to come to the house to show off his power, but now his son-in-law also came to show off his power. Would he still take him as his father and father-in-law seriously?
But this is what he thinks in his heart. On the surface, he dare not show it. He can't control even his daughter. This son-in-law is more powerful than his daughter. He was killed on the battlefield. How dare he provoke him? If he really gets angry, he won't give it.
As a father-in-law, he will be even more embarrassed when the time comes.
Zhou Chen showed a puzzled look on his face: "A fight between children? Father-in-law, please excuse my doubts, are there any young masters and girls in the Sheng Mansion who are the same size as Step-Brother and Sister Fu?"
Sheng Hong was stunned for a moment. How could there be such a junior in the Sheng family? He was just making excuses, but he didn't expect Zhou Chen to be so serious.
"Shu Yuan, this is Mo'er. She is your sister. She is a few years older than Stepbrother and the others. They are all children. It is normal to fight and fight. It is not a big deal."
"Oh, so that's it."
Zhou Chen nodded in relief, then turned to Hua Lan and said, "Madam, did you hear what my father-in-law said? It's just a fight between children. It's no big deal, and you are the same. You have to make such a fuss.
Big, it would be bad to spread the word."
Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, everyone in the hall was stunned. Sheng Hong suddenly showed joy. Look, this son-in-law is so sensible and knowledgeable, much better than his daughter.
Lin Sushuang, who pretended to be pitiful and fragile, also had a visibly relaxed expression. Since Zhou Chen had said so, it must be okay.
The client, Mo Lan, was even more relieved. It was a good thing for her to not be beaten. However, she did not feel grateful to Zhou Chen at all. Instead, she kept this humiliation deeply in her heart. If there is a chance in the future,
, must be returned.
Sheng Hong said with a smile: "That's right, Shuyuan, it has to be you, what do women know?"
But he didn't notice that Hua Lan's expression never changed. Instead, when he was talking, he walked up to Mo Lan and slapped Mo Lan directly on the face who had just sat up.
"Snapped!"
This slap not only knocked Mo Lan to the ground, but also stunned everyone in the hall. The smile on Sheng Hong's face stopped abruptly.
But Hua Lan didn't stop. Instead, she asked Xing'er to pull Mo Lan up again, then changed her hand and slapped Mo Lan on the other side of the face.
"Snapped!"
Another slap and Mo Lan fell to the ground again.
Mo Lan covered her face and let out a painful cry. It could be clearly seen that her face had turned red, and blood was spilling from the corners of her mouth. It was obvious that Hua Lan had used force in these two slaps.
"Mo'er."
Lin Sushuang let out a shrill scream and struggled desperately to get over, but how could she break away from Hualan's guard's hand? She cried so hard that she had a lot of snot and tears. In the end, seeing that it was useless, she rolled her eyes and her body softened.
.
It's a pity that the guard is not Sheng Hong, and he has no sympathy for her. Even if she 'faints', he still grabs her hand and controls her.
The two slaps stunned Sheng Hong. He pointed at Hua Lan with trembling hands.
"you you you……"
"Father-in-law."
Before Sheng Hong could get angry, Zhou Chen spoke up in time, and then said with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't worry, it's just a fight between children, it's not a big deal, don't be angry."
"Fighting?" Sheng Hong's mouth trembled.
Zhou Chen asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Isn't it true? Mo Lan is a generation older than Step Brother and Fu Jie'er. They are just kids fighting each other. Hua Lan is only a few years older than Mo Lan.
The fight between them is probably what my father-in-law calls the fight between children."
Sheng Hong was trembling with anger: "You, me, you, how could you do this? We are all a family, what on earth do you want?"
Zhou Chen still maintained a smile: "Father-in-law, don't be angry. It's normal for children to fight. Madam, you do it too. There's a fight between sisters. Why did you hit him so hard? Hit him on the face with your hand.
It hurts a lot, let me blow it for you."
As he said this, he took Hua Lan's hand and breathed softly in front of everyone.
Lin Sushuang woke up in time and let out a desperate cry: "Master, Master, you have to make the decision for us. Is this the Sheng Mansion or the Hou Mansion? Sister, uncle, if you want to fight, fight
Let me, don’t hit my Mo’er.”
"My lord, if you want to beat me, beat me. I will take the punishment for Mo'er. Mo'er is still young and not married yet. If you continue to beat me like this, she will die, my lord."
Hua Lan said coldly: "You should have been beaten in the first place, but Mo Lan has become like this, and you, the little girl, have nothing to do with it."
"shut up."
Sheng Hong slapped his legs with both hands angrily, and his body jumped up.
"Come here, drag Mrs. Lin out and beat her with twenty big sticks. Take Mo Lan to the ancestral hall and make her kneel down. She is not allowed to come out without my permission."
After saying that, he shouted at Hua Lan and Zhou Chen: "That's enough. Is this enough of what I've done?"
Hua Lan felt uncomfortable and disappointed when she saw Sheng Hong's appearance. Originally, this matter was not complicated. As long as Sheng Hong took the lead and punished Mo Lan fairly and justly, she would have no reason to be angry anymore, and there would be no
What happened later.
But Sheng Hong always thinks about making big things into small things. When Lin Sushuang and Mo Lan cry, he becomes soft-hearted and thinks of giving her a small punishment instead of asking her to be kind.
But last time she was scolded by Sheng Hong because Mo Lan deliberately framed Ru Lan and Ming Lan. How could she not let it go this time?
"My lord, Hong Lang."
"Daddy."
Sheng Hong's facial muscles twitched, and he forced himself to shout: "Pull it down, pull it down, are you deaf?"
Dongrong immediately ordered the female servants and mothers to drag Lin Sushuang and Mo Lan down, completely ignoring their cries.
Sheng Hong took a few deep breaths and said to Zhou Chen and Hua Lan with a gloomy face: "I have things to deal with at home today, so I won't leave the Marquis and his wife to eat."
Hua Lan's expression remained unchanged and she said calmly: "Then my daughter will not disturb her father in handling housework."
Then she walked into the back room, and Sheng Hong ignored Zhou Chen and went straight to the chair to sit down, still breathing heavily.
Zhou Chen didn't care either, he wasn't afraid of offending Sheng Hong, because Sheng Hong, at best, was too concerned about face, at worst, he was a coward.
So it doesn't matter whether he offends Sheng Hong, as long as he can bring benefits to the Sheng family, Sheng Hong will not really fall out.
