Chapter 41: Mention Minglan
"I have also met Princess Pingning. She thinks very highly of herself and values her family background. She absolutely looks down on your status. He only wants to help Qi Heng. It is absolutely impossible for you and Qi Heng to get her approval.
!”
"Even if she becomes Qi Heng's concubine, Princess Pingning will never agree to it!"
Li Zhan's words were like a sharp sword piercing into Sheng Minglan's heart. Minglan's face turned pale, and the only trace of luck in her heart was completely shattered by Li Zhan.
Li Zhan ignored the change in Sheng Minglan's expression and continued.
"Qi Heng is a young man who grew up in a honey pot. He is not a determined person. He will inevitably fail his parents in the end. So if you place all your hopes on his persistence, you may be disappointed. His shoulders are still too immature.
I can’t bear the burden at all!”
There was no trace of color on Sheng Minglan's face at this time, and her eyes no longer had the calmness of the past. In a daze, her feet softened and she was about to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Xiao Tao behind him quickly supported Sheng Minglan, looked at Sheng Minglan with a worried look, and asked with concern.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Sheng Minglan glanced at Xiao Tao blankly, then turned to look at Li Zhan, who was unmoved.
Li Zhan looked at Sheng Minglan calmly, without any fluctuations, and his indifference was scary.
Li Zhan sighed. He originally didn't want to get involved in the relationship between Minglan and Qi Heng, but he just thought of Old Mrs. Sheng. In order to prevent Old Mrs. Sheng from worrying about Sheng Minglan in the future, he had to be the villain.
Li Zhan looked at Sheng Minglan who was gradually standing firm and said again.
"You may or may not listen to what I say, but I have to say it. For the sake of my grandmother and for your own sake, I hope you can think about it carefully. Qi Heng is a good match!"
At this time, Sheng Minglan completely forgot to refute that there was no involvement between herself and Qi Heng. The reason was very simple. Li Zhan was a discerning and steady person. He would not have reminded her if he was not fully sure, so she also
There is no need to deny it.
Minglan broke away from Xiaotao's support, bowed to Li Zhan, and said respectfully.
"Minglan, thank you, brother-in-law, for reminding me. I will consider it carefully and will not embarrass my grandmother!"
Sheng Minglan knew that she had no contact with Li Zhan at all. Li Zhan kindly reminded her that there was only one reason, and that was for the sake of Mrs. Sheng, because she was also raised by her grandmother.
Li Zhan looked at Sheng Minglan's unflinching eyes, and a trace of determination and gratitude flashed in his eyes. He understood that the other party really remembered his words in his heart, and he was grateful.
Just by looking at Sheng Minglan's performance at this time, we can see the difference between Sheng Minglan and Mo Lan. Mo Lan was resentful of Li Zhan despite Li Zhan's well-intentioned advice, while Sheng Minglan knew what was good and was grateful.
It's just that Minglan's temperament has become colder after all, and she lives too transparently and sees things too clearly.
Li Zhan nodded, turned around and continued walking towards Shou'antang, as if nothing happened. He chatted with Mrs. Sheng as usual, stayed at Shouantang for a meal, and then left Sheng's house.
It didn't take long for Old Mrs. Sheng to hire a nun from the palace to teach the girls at home. She was Old Mrs. Sheng's playmate when she was a child. She was an old man in the palace who taught the concubines the rules. It can be seen from the last time.
The incident had a huge impact on the Sheng family, and I was very ruthless about the rules of the girls in the family.
"Old sister, the girl in front of me is stupid. There is no need to focus on her. I invite you here mainly to teach the two girls at home!"
Grandma Kong's expression changed, she stood up, and was about to leave angrily, but the anxious Old Mrs. Sheng quickly stood up and stopped her.
Mother Kong was well-informed in the palace and had a pair of discerning eyes. She could tell at a glance that among the three girls of the Sheng family, only Sheng Minglan, who was in front of Old Mrs. Sheng, was the smartest.
Very dissatisfied with the statement.
After Mrs. Sheng persuaded Grandma Kong to sit down, she explained helplessly.
"The girl in front of me is helpless. Although she is smart, she can only hide her clumsiness and dare not show her edge. Otherwise, she will be jealous of her two sisters. Even though I am supporting her now, she still has to endure a lot.
Well, if I, the old lady, pass away one day, this girl Minglan will be completely helpless and pitiful!"
After saying this, there was a trace of tears in Mrs. Sheng's eyes, obviously she was really moved.
When Grandma Kong saw this, her anger had long since dissipated, and she quickly comforted Mrs. Sheng.
Sheng Minglan also had a sad look on her face. She dropped a few golden beans with Mrs. Sheng. Apparently, she was saddened by Mrs. Sheng's words.
As soon as Li Zhan came in, he saw Mrs. Sheng wiping away tears. A cold light flashed in his eyes, but he showed a bright smile and said hello to Mrs. Sheng.
"Grandma, what's going on? Aren't you happy that your grandson is here?"
Li Zhan's jokes made Old Mrs. Sheng laugh. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then introduced to Aunt Kong with a smile.
"This is my grandson-in-law, who is also my grandnephew. In his early years, he was raised by me just like Miss Ming!"
Mrs. Sheng then introduced Grandma Kong's identity to Li Zhan.
Li Zhan quickly greeted him.
"I've seen Aunt Kong. My wives and sisters want you to worry more!"
Grandma Kong looked at Li Zhan and saw that he looked talented, gentle and elegant, with wisdom and sharpness in his eyes. She immediately praised Mrs. Sheng.
"Your grandson-in-law is not an easy man. He will definitely have a bright future in the future. You will have many blessings in the future!"
Mrs. Sheng smiled softly when she heard this, and showed off to Grandma Kong in a rare way.
"This child is a promising man. He suffered a lot when he was young. Now he has finally come to an end. He is already a third-grade censor Zhongcheng!"
Grandma Kong opened her mouth in surprise and looked at Li Zhan in disbelief. Seeing that he was only twenty-two or three years old, but he was already a member of the imperial court, she looked at Old Mrs. Sheng with envy.
"It seems that my old age has made me misunderstood. I didn't expect that your grandson-in-law has already reached a high position at such a young age. In the future, he will surely become a very powerful minister and rule the world!"
Mrs. Sheng laughed loudly when she heard this, with a happy face, and said politely to Grandma Kong.
"Then I accept your good advice. If I can see that day, I really won't have any regrets!"
When Li Zhan heard this, he complained somewhat unhappily.
"Grandma has a long life. Naturally, she can live a hundred years. She will see her grandson become a great minister one day!"
Li Zhan didn't need Mrs. Sheng to tell him, he sat down directly and looked at the copybook placed in front of Mrs. Sheng. The fonts on it were twisted here and there. He frowned and looked at Sheng Minglan who had no time to stop her.
joked.
