The old lady sat on the upper hand, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu sat on the left, and Zhou Chen and Hualan sat on the right.
Sheng Hong hesitated to speak, but the old lady couldn't stand it anymore and said directly: "Why are you hesitating there? Saburo is his own child, there is nothing that cannot be said."
Seeing what the old lady said, what else could Sheng Hong do? He could only tell the truth about his conversation with Lin Sushuang again.
"boom!"
The old lady slapped the table angrily.
"I told you a long time ago that Mrs. Lin was spoiled by you. It was the best choice to leave her mother and daughter in Zhuangzi outside the city. It would be better for you to bring them back. Now it's better. They are fighting
Because of your favor, I did such a thing that ruined the family tradition and brought the Sheng family into disrepute."
Sheng Hong lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Mom, this is all my fault. It's all my fault for making my mother nervous."
"Don't tell me these useless things now. Think about how to solve this problem."
The old lady waved her hand impatiently. He had long been accustomed to Sheng Hong's behavior of admitting his mistakes. Every time something happened, it was like this, but he never learned the lesson and would still make the same mistakes in the future.
Sheng Hong said in a low voice: "My son's idea is that in order to prevent this matter from spreading and to protect the face of the Sheng family, why not go to the Lingguo Duke's Mansion to propose marriage?"
"Say marriage? Who is going to say it? You go?" the old lady asked coldly.
Sheng Hong was choked very much: "How can my son come forward in such a thing?"
"Then let the eldest lady go?"
"I have this idea."
The old lady snorted disdainfully: "What if Ling Guogong's mansion doesn't agree? Should we let the old woman go again? Let me tell you clearly, even if Ling Guogong is defeated, it's not something I, the old woman and the eldest lady, can do.
As for marriage, we don't have such great dignity to let their legitimate son marry a concubine."
"That……"
"Don't even think about it."
The old lady quickly interrupted what Sheng Hong wanted to say next and slapped the wooden table hard.
"I'm telling you, don't even think about it. The Lin family made a mistake and they want Sanlang and Hua'er to sacrifice their face and go to the Duke's Palace to intercede. It's not possible, absolutely impossible."
Sheng Hong was also anxious: "If Shuyuan and Hua'er don't come forward, and the Duke of Ling doesn't give us face, what will happen to Mo'er, and what will happen to our Sheng family's face? If word spreads, what will happen to the Sheng family and Changbai?"
, it has an influence on Hua'er and her husband's family; I also hate Lin's viciousness, but now we have no choice, mother."
The old lady shouted angrily: "Even if you say something outrageous, I won't agree."
Sheng Hong said loudly: "Mom, I am doing this for the Sheng family, for the sake of everyone, without any selfish motives. Grandma Kong also said that we are all a family, and everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer. At this time, we are even more
There should be unity.”
"You, you, I think you are just crazy. All these are your own faults, and now you want a whole family to solve your problems for you. Are you such a father?"
The old lady was really disappointed with Sheng Hong and said angrily: "The old lady has a way, and that is to beat that girl Mo Lan to death. In this way, there is no need to worry about her losing face to the Sheng family."
"How can this be done?"
Sheng Hong objected immediately: "Mo'er is my daughter. Even if she makes a mistake, she won't be beaten to death. No, no."
Wang Ruofu disagreed and shouted: "Official, that girl is having an affair with someone. She doesn't care about the Sheng family and just wants to get everyone involved. Isn't this enough to kill her?"
In my opinion, this shameful bitch should be beaten to death according to mother's wishes, and her bitch mother should also be beaten to death."
Sheng Hong glared at Wang Ruofu: "There are rumors everywhere now. If we kill them at this time, doesn't it prove that the rumors are true? Our family will still lose face by then. The best way now is to kill Mo Lan.
Marry into the Duke of Ling's palace."
After speaking, he faced Zhou Chen and Hua Lan.
"Shu Yuan, Hua'er, I have no choice. Now only if you come forward, the Duke of Ling will give you face. Mo'er did make a mistake, but she is your sister after all, even if it's for my sake
Come on, for the sake of the brothers and sisters in the Sheng Mansion, please help her this time."
Zhou Chen was really speechless. He didn't know how Sheng Hong had the nerve to make this request.
Hua Lan was even more angry. He didn't take anything to heart about what she just told her father.
When she was about to speak, Zhou Chen held her down and asked Sheng Hong: "Father-in-law, let's not talk about anything else. Let's put ourselves in your shoes. If it were you, would you be willing to let your legitimate son marry you?"
Would you be willing to be a concubine of a ninth-grade official, and a concubine who used fornication?"
"Of course I don't..."
Sheng Hong reflexively wanted to refute, but suddenly thought of his current situation, and he couldn't say the following words.
"Shu Yuan, our family's situation is different from what you said."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "There is no difference. Father-in-law, I can tell you with certainty that it is absolutely impossible for the Duke of Ling's Palace to marry the fourth sister back as his wife. The most he can do is to take her into the palace as a concubine."
"How can that be possible? How can a girl from my Sheng Mansion be a concubine? This is absolutely impossible." Sheng Hong shouted excitedly.
Zhou Chen lamented in his heart that his father-in-law might have met so many nobles and nobles over the years that he had set his sights too high and really thought that the Duke's Mansion was so easy to get into.
He said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, let me tell you the truth. It is absolutely impossible for us to go to Lingguogong's Mansion to propose marriage. I am also a shameless person. Let me be a person who has an affair with a foreigner."
Talking about marriage, I would never do such a thing."
Sheng Hong said eagerly: "Shu Yuan, we are a family. We are both prosperous and devastated."
Zhou Chen said: "Although my father-in-law's words are reasonable, they are not absolute. Why should I have both prosperity and loss with a person who has an affair with a foreign man? My father-in-law, it is absolutely impossible to talk about marriage, even if you go to Qi Guogong
They will give the same answer as me, so I would like to advise my father-in-law not to think about marrying the fourth sister into the Duke of Lingguo's mansion."
Being rejected so decisively by Zhou Chen, Sheng Hong's face turned ugly and he wanted to get angry, but facing Zhou Chen, he couldn't express his anger.
"But I do have a suggestion that may be able to solve the current problem."
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Chen, and Sheng Hong couldn't wait to ask: "What's your suggestion?"
Zhou Chen replied: "You don't have to think about marrying into the Duke's palace. My father-in-law is reluctant to kill the fourth sister in order to maintain the family tradition. So, let's change the method and tell the public that the fourth sister is suffering from tuberculosis. I don't want to hurt the family, so I decided to become a monk."
If you become a nun, outsiders will not have any more rumors about a monk."
"Ah, a monk?"
Sheng Hong and others were stunned by Zhou Chen's suggestion.
Hua Lan reacted the fastest and immediately praised: "Dad, I think the official's suggestion is very good. Using tuberculosis as an excuse to let the fourth sister become a monk and a sister-in-law, outsiders will definitely stop talking about the family tradition of our Sheng family.
, as for the affair, only we and Duke Ling's Mansion know about it now. As long as the news about our fourth sister becoming a sister-in-law is released, Duke Ling's Mansion will definitely understand what we mean and won't make any more publicity."
"This, this, Mo'er is not even in her twenties yet, is it too cruel to ask her to be a sister-in-law?"
Sheng Hong looked embarrassed. He still loved Mo Lan after all, so how could he be willing to let Mo Lan become a nun?
Zhou Chen said: "This is just a suggestion from me. Whether you want to do this or not depends on your father-in-law's choice. But no matter what your father-in-law chooses, I think it's better to deal with Miss Lin just in case."
, she dared to threaten several of our families today, and she might do something crazy in the future."
"Yes, yes, that bitch Lin must be dealt with." Wang Ruofu was the first to agree.
If anyone in the entire Sheng Mansion wants Lin Sushuang to die the most, it must be Wang Ruofu. Now that Zhou Chen has spoken, of course she will be the first to jump in and support him.
Sheng Hong's face turned darker. Even though Lin Sushuang had fallen out with him, it was undeniable that Lin Sushuang still had a place in his heart. Now he was still reluctant to attack Lin Sushuang.
Seeing that Sheng Hong didn't say anything for a long time, Zhou Chen and Hua Lan stood up together.
"Grandma, father-in-law, mother-in-law, it's getting late, we should go back."
The old lady said: "Go back, go."
Wang Ruofu also said a few words, but Sheng Hong sat there with a dark complexion and said nothing.
After Zhou Chen and Hua Lan left, the old lady felt angry again when she saw Sheng Hong still sitting there.
"You are the head of the family. You need to make your own decision on how to deal with Lin's mother and daughter. If you still want to marry Mo Lan into the Duke of Ling's palace, then you have to figure it out yourself. The old woman doesn't have that ability.
Help you, I need to rest too, Mom Fang, help me into the house."
"Mom, walk slowly."
Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu returned to Wei Ruixuan together. Sheng Hong ate wine depressedly, while Wang Ruofu persuaded him.
"Officer, I think what my uncle said is right. It's not so easy to get into the Duke's Mansion. I think it's a good choice for Mo Lan to become a nun. It can not only save her life, but also save Sheng Sheng.
It would be best if we don't have to be at odds with Duke Ling's government to keep the reputation of the government high."
"What's good is good."
