Chapter 343 Good stuff
"If everything was simple and anyone could do it, what do I want you to do?" Zhao Xing said lightly.
Yin Hanzhang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he quickly said: "I understand, and I will try my best to find out."
"What I want is not to try my best, but to be sure, understand?" Zhao Xing said.
He did not expect Yin Hanzhang to be able to truly find out all the people who taught the wizard.
If this cult was so easy to detect, it would have been destroyed long ago.
However, appropriate pressure still needs to be given.
"I understand!"
"Remember, don't alert the snake!"
Zhao Xing was worried that the pressure was too great and that Yin Hanzhang would be exposed during the investigation, so he gave a worried warning.
"Yes!"
"Back off!"
…………
"Ru'er!"
At the door of Sheng's house, Mrs. Wang saw Ru Lan and Ming Lan getting off the carriage, and she quickly greeted them excitedly.
"Mother!"
Ru Lan ran up to meet her, holding hands with Mrs. Wang, very excited.
"Why didn't you send someone to notify me in advance, so that your father could take a leave of absence in advance?" Mrs. Wang looked at her daughter and said with some annoyance.
"My daughter is coming back this time to accompany Minglan. It was a last-minute decision and she didn't bother to notify her in advance." Rulan said with a smile.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, the smile on her face solidified.
Minglan was originally just a dowry for Rulan, but now when she was named a beauty, Minglan didn't even have a status.
As a result, Minglan became pregnant and immediately became equal to Rulan.
Now that she is home, Ru Lan has become a companion.
This feeling reminded her of the time when Lin Xiaoniang was so favored that she, the main wife, was suppressed at home.
"Mother-in-law, let the two sisters go in first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later," Haishi reminded.
"Yes, yes." Mrs. Wang came back to her senses and said, "Let's go in and talk first."
After saying that, she pulled Ru Lan and walked inside. As for Minglan, she didn't even pay attention to her.
If Minglan hadn't been named a beauty, Sheng Hong had repeatedly told her in private that if Minglan came back in the future, she should be polite to Minglan.
With Mrs. Wang's temper, she felt unhappy just now, so she would inevitably make some sarcastic remarks.
She couldn't do it without a few sarcastic words. Her temper was already good, and she could not smile at Minglan.
"Sixth sister, let's go in."
Haishi stepped forward and took Minglan's hand, smiling and saying: "Sixth sister looks a little pregnant now."
"It's only been more than two months. I've gained weight." Minglan said with a smile.
"Mother, don't take it seriously," Haishi said.
She actually doesn't care who is favored more, Minglan or Rulan. They are both members of the Sheng family. No matter who is favored, it is the Sheng family that benefits.
Her husband is the eldest son of the Sheng family and the one who benefits the most.
"I understand Madam's temperament, it won't be a problem." Minglan said without caring.
Haishi didn't care when he saw Minglan's expression, and he thought more highly of Minglan.
Sheng Changbai had told her before that among the sisters in the family, the most powerful one was actually the youngest Minglan. However, she had not had much contact with Minglan and had no intuitive feelings.
Although Minglan had come back before, at that time Minglan was just a dowry.
Now Minglan is already a fourth-grade beauty, and has not changed due to the change of status.
This reminded her of something her father once said.
What is great about a person is not that he goes from low to high, but that no matter how his identity changes, it will not change because of the change in identity.
Such people, even if they come from a low background, can still reach high places.
Even if you fall from a high place one day, you can walk up again as long as you have the chance.
Sheng Changbai is such a determined person, so even if the Sheng family's family status is lower, he is willing to marry her to Sheng Changbai.
Hai Chaoyun felt that Minglan was also this kind of person.
"Sister-in-law, I heard from the officials that Xueshi Hai is surveying the land in the south of the Yangtze River. The progress is going very well. It won't be long before he returns to Beijing. By then, my sister-in-law and eldest brother will also be husband and wife, so we have to hurry up and give them. I'm giving birth to a little nephew." Minglan whispered into Heisi's ear.
"Yeah."
Hai Chaoyun nodded in agreement with a reddish complexion, secretly thinking that Minglan was really powerful.
She just looked at Minglan's belly, feeling a little envious, but she didn't expect Minglan to notice it.
The aunt and sister-in-law talked all the way to Shou'an Hall.
After greeting Mrs. Sheng and sitting for a while, Madam Wang took Ru Lan and left.
Haishi also said goodbye and left, leaving space for the grandfather and grandson to talk.
Although Minglan had Zhao Xing's explanation, she couldn't follow the mother and daughter as they talked about their own affairs, so she could only talk to Rulan on the way back.
"Why did you come back this time?" Old Mrs. Sheng asked.
"It's okay." Minglan said with a smile: "It's just that the granddaughter is pregnant. The officials feel pity for the granddaughter and are afraid that the granddaughter will be bored in the palace, so they let her come back to see her."
Mrs. Sheng waved her hand, and Fang's mother understood and led the maids in the room to retreat.
"I raised you, and I know you best. If you were fine, you would have been chatting with me after your elder sister-in-law left just now." Old Mrs. Sheng said.
"My granddaughter knew that she couldn't hide it from her grandmother. She read in a letter a few days ago that her grandmother said that the relationship between the eldest lady and her fourth sister seemed to have eased. She felt strange and a little uneasy," Minglan said.
She didn't tell Mrs. Sheng the real purpose because she didn't believe Mrs. Sheng.
It's because Mrs. Sheng is old and doesn't want her to worry.
"Are you worried about your little mother?" Mrs. Sheng smiled and said: "I have sent two capable people to take care of her. She will be fine. Besides, your identity is not the same as before, and your father often warns her Warning, she doesn’t dare to mess around.”
"Thank you, grandma." Minglan said gratefully.
"Why are you being polite to me?"
Old Mrs. Sheng said: "You don't have to worry at home, but you should be more careful in the palace now that you are pregnant. You must not have the intention of harming others, but you must also have the intention of guarding against others."
"Grandma, don't worry. My granddaughter knows that Cui's mother and Xiaotao take care of everything she eats and drinks. She will be fine," Minglan said with a smile.
"It's best if you know what's going on. The relationships in the palace are complicated. The only people you trust are Mama Cui and Xiao Tao. I'm really worried." Mrs. Sheng patted Minglan's hand.
"Grandma, my granddaughter has been taught by you for many years, and she hasn't made any progress at all. Don't worry." Minglan said with a smile.
Minglan chatted with Old Mrs. Sheng for a long time, then went to see her mother and brother. She had dinner with Old Mrs. Sheng at noon, and took a nap with Old Mrs. Sheng.
After waking up, he and Rulan said goodbye to Mrs. Sheng and left the Sheng family.
On the carriage, Minglan calmed down and saw that Rulan looked a little excited and asked, "Why is the fifth sister so happy?"
"Mom gave me a good thing today." Ru Lan whispered.
"What good thing? Fifth sister, don't hide it, show it to your sister." Minglan's eyes moved slightly and she said with a smile.
