Chapter 182 Sheng Hong’s method
“Old madam.” Fang’s mother saluted and said, “I heard that the fourth girl broke the gift given to the fifth girl by His Royal Highness. The eldest lady was furious and ordered people to beat her. Girl."
The smile on Mrs. Sheng's face disappeared when she heard this, and she snorted: "Let them do whatever they want, don't worry about it."
" Yes!" Fang's mother heard this. He came to stand beside the old lady.
"Grandma, do you really not care about this matter? Dad is not at home, and with the temper of the lady, I am afraid it will end badly." Minglan said.
Old Mrs. Sheng shook her head and said: "The eldest lady has always had a grudge against me for interfering in Brother Bai's marriage. If I stop her now, she will probably be even more resentful. Besides, do you think I should take care of this matter?"< br>
Minglan thought for a while and said: "Although I don't know the specific situation yet, on the way back, the fifth sister liked the mirror very much. With the temperament of the fifth sister, it is unlikely that she would use the mirror to intoxicate the fourth sister. It's either an accident or something that was done on purpose by the fourth sister. If she did it on purpose, there would be no clue. " Old Mrs. Sheng nodded: "It's fair for the public to talk about it, and it's right for the mother-in-law to say it. It's not clear. Let your father have a headache."
With Old Mrs. Sheng's temperament, this kind of thing is impossible. She might not care about it, but she would send someone to spread the word to prevent the matter from getting bigger.
Then wait for Sheng Hong to come back and deal with it.
What she said about worrying about Mrs. Wang's resentment was actually just an excuse.
The reason why she didn't intervene was because she was worried that Mrs. Wang and Rulan would anger Minglan.
At this time, Mrs. Wang has the upper hand. If she stops him, in the hearts of Mrs. Wang and Ru Lan, she will be biased towards Mo Lan.
No matter how dissatisfied Mrs. Wang and Ru Lan were, they did not dare to do anything to her.
But Minglan is different. With her protection, Mrs. Wang and Rulan dare not do anything at home.
But what about going to the East Palace in the future?
Although Zhao Xing promised to give Minglan a status in the future, it is not realistic in the short term.
When Minglan first entered the East Palace, she was a dowry and needed to make a living under Rulan.
At that time, there were no restrictions, and it would be too easy for Rulan to make things difficult for Minglan.
It’s just that Mrs. Sheng has an arrogant temperament and is relatively reserved when expressing her feelings. She will carefully plan for Minglan but will not tell Minglan.
.........
When Mrs. Sheng got the news, Lin Xiaoniang also got the news and hurried to the yard where Rulan Molan lived.
Lin Xiaoniang heard her daughter's screams from afar, and her pace quickened a bit.
When I came to the door of Rulan's room, I saw two old ladies holding down Mo Lan, and one old lady was spanking Mo Lan's buttocks with a ruler. Mo Lan's face was bloodless, and he screamed in agony. His voice was hoarse.
Lin Xiaoniang’s heart trembled with distress, and she shouted: “Stop!”
"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Wang said coldly.
"Madam, dare I ask Mo'er what mistake she made that made you want to inflict such torture?" Lin Xiaoniang asked.
"She broke the thing that His Highness the Crown Prince gave to Ru'er. It would be easy to beat her to death!" Mrs. Wang sneered.
"Mom, it wasn't me who threw her. My daughter was wronged. Mom, please save me." Mo Lan said weakly.
“You still dare to quibble?”
Mrs. Wang glared at the old woman who stopped, and shouted: "She told you to stop and you stopped? Keep beating me!"
"Yes!"
The old woman was reprimanded and hurriedly waved her hand The ruler was drawn hard.
“Ouch~”
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoniang rushed up and pushed the old lady away.
The old woman was unprepared and was pushed to the ground and hit a pillar.
Lin Xiaoniang frantically pushed away the two old women who were holding Mo Lan down, and protected Mo Lan behind her. She glared at Mrs. Wang bitterly: "Even if the government interrogates the prisoner, it still has to give the prisoner a defense." Mrs. Wang didn’t even give Mo’er a chance to speak, so she beat her like this. Let’s wait until the master comes back to see how she will explain!” I am the matron of the house, and it is my job to discipline my brothers and sisters. What do I need to explain to you? The officials have long said that you are not allowed to interfere with their discipline. You still dare to forcefully stop it and intervene in their discipline. Come here, hold her down and beat her up!”
Madame Wang has long wanted to deal with Miss Lin, but Miss Lin is so honest during this time, she usually doesn’t even come out of Lin Qige. , she never found a chance.
Now Lin Xiaoniang came to her door by herself and gave her an excuse. If she didn't deal with Lin Xiaoniang properly, she might not be able to sleep at night.
"Wang Ruofu, how dare you!" Lin Xiaoniang said sternly.
“A concubine who calls the mistress by her first name will be punished with an extra level of crime and be beaten!” Mrs. Wang shouted.
A few rough ladies came forward, forcefully separated Lin Xiaoniang and Mo Lan, and pushed Lin Xiaoniang to the ground.
While struggling, Lin Xiaoniang cursed Mrs. Wang.
Mo Lan’s cries and Lin Xiaoniang’s curses caused chaos in the room.
"Stop!"
At this moment, Sheng Hong walked in with a livid face.
Behind Sheng Hong was also Xue Niang who had always followed Dong Rong and Lin Xiaoniang.
Lin Xiaoniang, who was lying on the ground, saw a trace of sarcasm in her eyes when Sheng Hong came in.
She learned that Mo Lan had been beaten by Mrs. Wang. Although she was anxious, she did not lose control.
Lin Xiaoniang has been fighting with Mrs. Wang for so many years, and she knows her temper very well.
I knew I couldn’t save Mo Lan even if I came here. After calculating the time, it was time for Sheng Hong to come back, so he asked Xue Niang to wait for Sheng Hong in the outer courtyard while he came over first.
She also deliberately angered Mrs. Wang just now.
The only pity is that Sheng Hong came a little too fast. If I had waited for Sheng Hong to come back a few times, the effect would have been better.
"What's going on?" Sheng Hong glanced at Lin Xiaoniang and Mo Lan on the ground, and then looked at Mrs. Wang.
"Official, Mo Lan..." Mrs. Wang told the story again.
After hearing this, Sheng Hong frowned slightly, took the mirror and looked at it, then looked at Mo Lan and said, "What do you have to say?"
"Dad, my daughter was wronged." Mo Lan Her eyes were red and swollen, and she cried: "When the fifth sister came back, my daughter was about to go see my mother-in-law, and she happened to meet her. The daughter didn't say anything, but the fifth sister said that His Highness the Crown Prince had given her a treasure and invited her to see it. "
"My daughter was not sensible before and had a bad relationship with her fifth sister. Later, she listened to her father's teachings and regretted it very much. When she saw the fifth sister's invitation, she wanted to ease the relationship with her. At the same time, her daughter was also curious. , I want to see the treasure that the fifth sister said.”
"Who would have thought that when the fifth sister handed it to her daughter, the fifth sister let go before her daughter could catch it."
"You fart!" Ru Lan jumped angrily: "I clearly saw you He didn’t let go until he received it!”
Sheng Hong scolded: “What kind of behavior is it for a girl to say vulgar words?”
When Madam Wang saw her daughter being reprimanded, she was instantly moved. Not happy: "The official is so unreasonable. Mo Lan deliberately broke the mirror that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave to Ru'er. The official didn't blame her, but even scolded Ru'er!"
" Shut up!”
Sheng Hong glanced at Mrs. Wang, sat down on the soft couch, and said, "Everyone, step aside!"
The maids, servants and old ladies in the room quickly bowed and left after hearing this.
Only Mrs. Wang’s mother and daughter and Lin Xiaoniang’s mother and daughter were left in the house.
In addition, there are several personal maids.
Dong Rong bowed, closed the door and stood guard at the door.
"Now that they both have their own opinions, even if Mo Lan is really careless, there is no need to make such a big fuss. Bai'er's wedding is approaching, do you want the whole Bianjing to see our family's joke?" Sheng Hong's face was gloomy. road.
"What do you mean she was careless? She clearly did it on purpose." Ru Lan said angrily.
Sheng Hong glared at her fiercely when he heard this.
"Officer!"
Wang Madam blocked her daughter behind and said: "This is the mirror given by His Highness the Crown Prince. The scene reflected is very clear. This kind of treasure is not worth much. Fei. When Ru'er enters the palace in the future, she will have to take him with her. Now that it is broken, how will Ru'er explain to His Highness in the future? How can she survive?”
Mrs. Wang said this, as if she saw her daughter being neglected and depressed in the future, tears streaming down her face.
After hearing this, Sheng Hong knew the pros and cons and glared at Mo Lan on the ground.
"What the madam said makes no sense. She seems to have confirmed that Mo'er broke it intentionally."
Lin Xiaoniang knelt on the ground and looked at Sheng Hong with a miserable expression. : "Master, Mo'er is a girl. She was beaten to a bloody pulp. Even if she recovers, she may still have scars. How will she get married in the future?"
Sheng Hong looked at Lin The young lady's sad and miserable eyes softened her heart again.
"You are so ruthless before the matter is clear. Even if Mo Lan really did it, there is no need to be so ruthless." Sheng Hong looked at Mrs. Wang and said with a stern face.
"The official said it was easy, but it was a gift from His Highness the Crown Prince. Have you only considered Mo Lan, but have you considered Ru'er?" Mrs. Wang said sarcastically.
A hint of gloom flashed in Sheng Hong's eyes. What bothered him the most was Mrs. Wang.
My temper got worse and I didn’t give him any face at all.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Sheng Hong looked at Ru Lan and said, "Tell me about the time when His Highness the Crown Prince gave you something."
It would be disrespectful to damage something given by the emperor.
Zhao Xing is just the prince, and it is a gift, not a formal reward.
There is still some difference in this point.
But we have to find out how much Zhao Xing attaches importance to this thing.
If Zhao Xing doesn’t care much, it will naturally be no big deal.
But if Zhao Xing cares about it, the situation mentioned by Mrs. Wang will happen, so he is not happy with Ru Lan.
If it’s serious, he might even dislike the Sheng family.
Ru Lan told the story of how she got the mirror.
Sheng Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhao Xing only asked people to send him off and did not send him off in person.
When I heard that Minglan also got the same thing, I was completely relieved.
"Since Minglan also has it, just give the Minglan one to Rulan." Sheng Hong said.
Madam Wang opened her mouth. She didn’t know that Minglan also had it. She only heard Rulan say that it was precious. After seeing the mirror, she also felt that it was very precious.
When she heard that Minglan actually had one, she also had the idea that it was nothing more than this.
“But Mo Lan deliberately broke the things given by His Highness the Crown Prince, can we just let it go?” Mrs. Wang said unwillingly.
