Chapter 1163: Can’t recognize his own Sheng Hong, becomes a nun
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."
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."
Sheng Hong shouted angrily: "How old Mo'er is, she is at the best age for a girl. If she becomes a monk and becomes a sister-in-law, wouldn't her whole life be ruined?"
Wang Ruofu also said with anger: "Now, she has been destroyed, not by us, but by her own mother. We have not killed her, so we have been extra merciful."
, I also want us to go to Duke Ling’s Mansion to say goodbye. It’s a beautiful idea. Anyway, I can’t go, and the old lady won’t go either, and Hualan won’t go either. If you want to go, officer, just go by yourself.
.”
After saying that, she ignored the angry Sheng Hong, walked directly into the room, and ignored him.
"you……"
Sheng Hong was so angry that he took another sip of wine.
The Duke's Mansion of Qi.
The rumors outside naturally reached the ears of Duke Qi and Princess Ning, and they immediately called Minglan and Qi Heng over.
Minglan felt uneasy. She thought her parents-in-law called her here to reprimand her. After all, such an ugly thing happened in Sheng Mansion, and it was normal for her to be implicated.
However, she has no regrets. She did this to avenge her biological mother, but she felt a little sorry for Qi Heng, who was completely unaware.
In fact, she has been married to the Duke of Qi for so long, and has not encountered any difficulties. Although Princess Pingning is a bit strict, she is not as vicious as she imagined. She does not make her obey the rules every day, and she does not even say any bad words.
