Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 179 Seeking Revenge
Sheng Changquan wasn't an idiot; he could see the unusual thing in the room.

Actually, he felt something was wrong as soon as he stepped into the house.

At that time, only Aunt and Minglan were in the house. Xiaotao, Danju, Cuiming, and Ziyuan were all not in the house. In fact, Xiaotao was waiting outside the door and deliberately shouted loudly when she saw him!
Sheng Changquan was quite familiar with Xiao Tao. Upon seeing her like this, he immediately understood the meaning behind it. It was most likely because of Minglan's order that Xiao Tao should remind the people in the room when someone came.

"how?"

Sheng Changquan narrowed his eyes and asked casually, "Auntie, Sister, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Is there something you're not letting me know?"

Sheng Changquan smiled, as if he were joking.

"How...how could this be?"

Aunt Wei was not familiar with Sheng Changquan, so she didn't dare to speak for a moment, fearing that it would arouse his suspicion. Therefore, she simply turned to Minglan and asked her to handle the situation.

"Brother, Aunt and I were just a little sad today because we hadn't seen each other for so long and we were thinking about things from the past!"

Minglan smiled sheepishly, and her reasoning was quite reasonable.

"Yep!"

"That's it!"

Aunt Wei nodded repeatedly and followed Minglan's words.

"Oh, I see!"

Sheng Changquan smiled, neither saying he believed nor disbelieved, but a dark glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Minglan.

"What exactly is it that you're keeping from others?"

As Sheng Changquan watched Aunt Wei's expression gradually relax, he couldn't help but ponder.

"Then...and what about you!"

Seeing that Sheng Changquan's eyes kept darting between her and her aunt, Minglan quickly changed the subject and asked, "Where did you go today?"

"Do you know how long your aunt has been waiting for you? She thought something had happened to you!"

Minglan playfully poked Sheng Changquan's forehead, trying to distract him.

"Hehe, it's nothing!"

Aunt Wei thought that Sheng Changquan had already believed Minglan's words, so when she heard Minglan's words, she immediately waved her hand.

"Brother Quan, go ahead and do what you need to do. Your aunt is fine here!"

Looking at Minglan's expression, Sheng Changquan became even more certain of his guess: his aunt's visit to Beijing this time must be for some special reason.

However, this is not the time to think about these things.

Sheng Changquan quickly turned around and sincerely apologized to Aunt Wei, "Aunt, this time it was indeed Changquan's fault. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Without waiting for his aunt to be polite, Sheng Changquan continued, "However, today's events were also a coincidence!"

"Because a friend I met when I took the preliminary examination a few days ago suddenly invited me to his home today. He said that his family has a senior's handwritten notes that record various techniques for the preliminary examination. That's why I was delayed for so long and didn't receive the news that my aunt had come to the capital."

Sheng Changquan, without changing his expression, fabricated reasons that should have been prepared long ago and began to explain himself.

"That's why Changquan was unable to pick you up immediately when you arrived in Beijing. It's my fault, Auntie, please forgive me!"

"Oh, it's okay!"

Upon hearing that it concerned the imperial examination, Aunt Wei naturally waved her hands repeatedly: "Quan-ge'er, no matter what, the provincial examination is more important!"

"Besides, Auntie hasn't suffered any hardship, she doesn't deserve this!"

"Humph!"

Minglan glared at Sheng Changquan, feigning anger, and then said, "Brother, I'll let it go this time, but tomorrow you have to accompany your aunt around the capital. You absolutely cannot neglect your aunt again!"

"Yes! Yes!" "Changquan knows he was wrong!"

Sheng Changquan stood up, bowed to Minglan and Aunt Wei, and promised with a smile, "Tomorrow, Changquan will definitely complete the task assigned by my elder sister and ensure that Aunt Wei will be familiar with the entire city of Bianliang in no time!"

"Brother Quan, what you're doing..."

Aunt Wei pointed at Sheng Changquan, and for a moment she was both amused and exasperated.
……

Rongfu.

"father!"

"My daughter thought she would never see you again!"

After being secretly brought home, Rong Feiyan hugged Master Rong tightly, crying uncontrollably as if she were about to collapse at any moment.

"My daughter!"

"You're finally back!"

Master Rong was also in tears, crying very miserably!
God knows how devastated he was when he received Peony's message that Rong Feiyan was being chased by a group of men in black!
He only had two daughters in his life. His eldest daughter entered the palace to serve the emperor, and that was probably the end of her life. She probably wouldn't have any more children, since the old emperor was getting old and probably no longer had the ability to have more children.

And right now, the only one who can inherit his bloodline is probably his youngest daughter, Rong Feiyan.

As for those "relatives" who wanted to be adopted by him and inherit his family business, in Master Rong's eyes, they were nothing more than tools.

No matter how sweet their words or how filial they are, once he passes away, they probably won't genuinely worship him. It's uncertain whether he'll even receive offerings after his death.

Only his biological daughters, Rong Zhixian and Rong Feiyan, truly care about him.

Actually, Master Rong had another ulterior motive: he planned to have Rong Feiyan adopt one of her children into the Rong family so that the child could inherit the family line and carry on the family name.

However, it was only because Rong Feiyan insisted on marrying Qi Heng that Master Rong hoped she could find a husband and stay in the family.

Unfortunately, Rong Feiyan...

"daughter!"

"Tell Dad!"

Master Rong was a shrewd and calculating man. After seeing Rong Feiyan return safely, his first thought was to find out the details.

"Who sent those men in black today?"

Because Master Rong was so concerned about his daughter, he didn't even have time to reveal the identity of Prince Yong, the mastermind, when Mudan reported to him. He rushed out to secretly bring Rong Feiyan back. Therefore, until this point, Master Rong still didn't know who the mastermind was.

"father……"

Rong Feiyan sobbed, feeling wronged, "It was...it was sent by the Prince of Yong!"

"what?"

Master Rong was startled!
"Daughter, is this really true?"

"Were those men in black really sent by the Prince of Yong?"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Rong Feiyan recalled what Sheng Changquan had told her and couldn't help but say, "Those guys were sent by the Prince of Yong's mansion!"

"Their goal is to sabotage our family's relationship with the Duke of Qi's mansion and pave the way for that Princess Jiacheng!"

"Princess Jiacheng?"

A glint of light flashed in Master Rong's eyes!
"Is it because of Qi Heng?"

I got up too late today...
