For Sheng Hong, the first half of his life was gloomy, because he was a concubine, his mother did not favor him, and he was bullied miserably by his father's other daughter. If he had not been protected by his aunt, he might not have lived long.
big.
It was not until his father passed away that his life became easier. Although he later married Wang Ruofu, he really had no feelings for Wang Ruofu at all. The marriage between the two was more for his own future.
But when he met Lin Sushuang, he understood that this woman was his true love, the woman he loved most in his life, so he gave all his feelings to Lin Sushuang and let her live as a concubine.
He is more decent than the eldest lady, just because he loves her, so he gives her whatever she wants.
But now Lin Sushuang told him that her feelings for him were completely false and were all calculated. She even didn't care about the face of the Sheng family or his in order to achieve her own goals.
"Are you blackmailing me? Are you blackmailing me?"
"I'm not threatening you. I'm all thinking about the Sheng family. As long as the Duke's palace is willing to marry Mo'er, it doesn't matter if we get married and behave a little more intimately, then the rumors outside will naturally be broken."
"If not, I'm afraid the Sheng family will lose all their face. If the Sheng family is embarrassed, Changbai will be embarrassed, Hualan, Rulan, and Minglan will also be embarrassed. When the time comes, the Duke of Jingguo and the Duke of Qi will be in disgrace.
Heidegger is also embarrassed."
"I want you, the Sheng family, the Wang family, the Hai family, the old lady's family, the Duke of Jingguo, and the Duke of Qi to all come and find a solution for me."
Sheng Hong couldn't bear it any longer, raised his hand, and slapped Lin Sushuang in the face.
"Snapped!"
"Bitch, you bitch."
Lin Sushuang was slapped and lay on the Arhat bed, but she didn't care at all and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"Mother Kong once said that in this family, everything will be prosperous and everything will suffer. If Mo Lan's marriage cannot happen, then we will die together."
"ah……"
Sheng Hong looked up to the sky and sighed. He really regretted it. Why didn't he discover this woman's true face before?
"You are really crazy. This is the Duke's palace. Do you think they will let a concubine of a fifth-rank official become the wife of the royal family?"
Lin Sushuang's eyes widened: "Why not, even that cheap girl Minglan can be the wife of the only son of the Duke of Qi. My Mo'er is a hundred times stronger than her, why can't she be the wife of the legitimate son of the Duke of Qi?
"
"I told you to work together to find a solution. If the Sheng family, Wang family and Hai family can't do it, then go to the old lady. If the old lady can't do it, then go to your most proud eldest daughter. She is Jingguo.
The eldest wife of the Duke, Duke Jingguo is the head of the nobility and an important minister in the court. As long as he speaks, even the officials and the queen will have to give him face, making the Duke even more smiling. "
"Yes, let Duke Jingguo and the eldest lady come forward, let them come forward."
Sheng Hong's heart erupted with anger. Although he and Hualan quarreled several times, it was because he felt that he and Lin Sushuang were in true love. Even if they were quarreling, he actually knew in his heart that this eldest daughter was the leader of their Sheng family.
The biggest support is far from being comparable to Lin Sushuang.
Now that Lin Sushuang had fallen out with him, she even wanted to force her eldest daughter to propose marriage on her behalf. How could he endure it?
"Bitch."
"Snapped."
Another slap, and he wailed with pain and helplessness: "Oh my God, shameless, shameless..."
Sheng Hong left Linqi Pavilion in despair and returned to Wei Ruixuan. When he saw Hua Lan who was taking care of Wang Ruofu, his face was full of guilt.
"Father, what's wrong?" Hua Lan asked.
Sheng Hong slumped down on his chair and recounted the entire conversation he had just had with Lin Sushuang, especially Lin Sushuang's threats.
Wang Ruofu cursed angrily: "That bitch, she is so courageous. She dares to threaten us and plot against our family. She has people beat her to death. I want to beat her to death."
Hualan quickly persuaded Wang Ruofu: "Mom, even if you beat her to death now, you won't be able to solve the problem."
"Then what should we do? Is it possible that our whole family will be blackmailed by a bitch like her?"
Hualan did not answer, but looked at Sheng Hong.
"Dad, what do you think?"
Sheng Hong said in frustration: "What else can we do? She has pushed us to this point. If we don't say goodbye, our Sheng family will lose all face. How can we hold our heads high among the official families in Bianjing City in the future?"
?”
Hua Lan frowned and said, "Are you really going to go ahead with the marriage proposal according to Lin's words? You were really frightened by her. No matter how good Mo Lan is, she is just a concubine of the Sheng Mansion, so how can she represent the face of the Sheng Mansion? What's more?
What's more, it is the Duke of Ling's Mansion. Although the Duke of Ling's Mansion has declined a lot in recent years, it is still the Duke's Mansion. How can someone like a concubine from a prosperous mansion and let her be the eldest wife?"
Sheng Hong immediately retorted with some dissatisfaction: "What about Ling Guogong's mansion? Our Sheng family is not bad now, and Mo'er's appearance and talent are also very good, why can't we marry the youngest son of Ling Guogong's mansion?
Are you a big lady?"
Although he knew in his heart that this was a bit whimsical, he was still unwilling to lower his posture in front of his eldest daughter.
He hated Lin Sushuang's calculations, but he felt that Lin Sushuang's words were not unreasonable. Minglan could marry the only son of Duke Qi, why couldn't Mo Lan marry the youngest son of Duke Ling?
Hualan laughed angrily at Sheng Hong's words.
"Dad, what are you thinking? After Mo Lan did such a thing, you actually thought about going to the Duke of Ling's Mansion to propose marriage to her. I know you love Mo Lan, but I didn't expect you to have such no bottom line, okay?
, If you want to talk about marriage, who are you going to let say it?"
"Of course it's your mother."
Sheng Hong said matter-of-factly, whether she is a legitimate daughter or a concubine, the legitimate mother must make the final decision on marriage.
But Wang Ruofu refused without hesitation: "Let me go? Are you kidding? Let me marry those bitches. It's impossible, absolutely impossible."
Sheng Hong said anxiously: "You are the aunt of the family, and you should do this kind of thing. Is it possible for me, the head of the family, to propose marriage? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? What's more, if this matter is not handled well.
, our Sheng family will lose face, and it will also bring trouble to the Wang family, the Hai family and the Duke's mansion."
Wang Ruofu's expression froze for an instant. This could be regarded as holding her fate. What she cared about most was her son and daughters, so naturally she couldn't just sit idly by.
"When will those damn bitches stop harming my children?"
Seeing that his mother wanted to compromise, Hua Lan suddenly became angry.
"Dad, Lin is threatening you, and you are threatening mother. Is this appropriate?"
"When did I threaten your mother? I did this for the sake of Sheng Mansion and you, so why did it become a threat to you?" Sheng Hong scolded dissatisfied.
Hua Lan asked back: "Isn't this called a threat? This matter was done by Lin's mother and daughter. Why should my mother suffer for them? If you agree, then you might as well go to Lingguo Gong's Mansion to propose marriage. Don't let it happen.
Mother, go and throw this guy away."
"you you."
Sheng Hong was filled with anger and shouted angrily: "I am doing this for you. If this matter gets out, it will have a great impact on your sisters. You are still talking to me here. Don't you know that we are a family?
Don’t you know the principle that when one is prosperous, both are prosperous, and when one is harmed, both are harmed?”
"It's true that both will be prosperous and suffer losses, but it depends on who you are with. If I and Lin's mother and daughter are asked to both prosper and suffer losses, I really can't do it."
It's not that Hua Lan doesn't understand this truth, she just feels angry. Why should her mother be embarrassed for the evil she did to her mother and daughter?
Sheng Hong was very angry, but he couldn't do anything to Hua Lan, so he simply spread his hands.
"Then tell me, what do you think we should do?"
Hua Lan opened her mouth, but no words came out, and finally said: "Go to Shou'an Hall and ask grandma, she will definitely have a way."
Wang Ruofu also nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, go to mother. Mother is well-informed and will definitely have a better way."
Sheng Hong's expression froze: "Shu Yuan is here too."
Wang Ruofu said angrily: "It's already now, and you still worry about these things. The Duke is our eldest brother-in-law and a real family member. What's more, in this situation, do the officials think you can still hide it?"
Sheng Hong was speechless, and finally he could only agree, and the three of them went to Shou'an Hall together.
Zhou Chen had a meal with the old lady, drank some tea after the meal, and was sitting in the hall talking.
"Is Shulan's child okay? Are her two children healthy?"
"Well, Shu'er said a few days ago that she would come to visit grandma, but the two naughty boys are still young and can't live without her, and the weather has turned cold, so I didn't let her bring the children over."
"It's the right thing to do. The child is still young, so it's right not to run around."
While the two were talking, they saw Sheng Hong, his wife and Hua Lan walking in.
"Mother." "Mother." "Grandma."
"Come on, sit down, everyone, sit down."
