Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 241 Bullying goes too far
Shou'an Hall.

"You all go down!"

When Minglan helped Old Madam Sheng into the main house, Old Madam Sheng immediately gave a wink to Fang Mama behind her, signaling her to take the maids with her and leave.

Madam Fang nodded silently, indicating to Old Madam Sheng that she understood. Then, at Madam Fang's signal, all the maids withdrew in an orderly and silent manner.

During this time, Minglan remained somewhat absent-minded and failed to notice anything amiss.

After a while, when everyone had left and Madam Fang had closed the door, Old Madam Sheng pulled Minglan down to sit.

"Tomorrow!"

If you are sad or upset, then cry it out!

"Letting all these things out will make you feel much better!"

Looking at the absent-minded Minglan, Old Madam Sheng couldn't help but feel a pang of reluctance and said...

"Ah? Grandmother?"

"What...what are you talking about?"

Minglan was startled by the old lady's words and immediately came to her senses. Her first thought was to cover up and avoid the matter.

"Grandma, your granddaughter is alright!"

"Ok?"

The old lady's eyes flashed, and she suddenly exuded a terrifying aura.

"Ming'er, are you starting to hide things from your grandmother now?"

Grandma Sheng knew Minglan's personality and knew that her granddaughter didn't want her to worry about her. However, as an elder who loved her younger generation, how could she turn a blind eye to the little fool's predicament?

"grandmother!"

Minglan lowered her head, not daring to look into Old Madam Sheng's eyes.

Grandma Sheng remained silent, simply watching Minglan in quiet contemplation, waiting for her to speak.

……

a long time.

"grandmother……"

"Granddaughter...now..."

"I can't cry right now..."

The air was heavy for a long time before Minglan finally opened her heart to her grandmother.

"Silly boy!"

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Sheng disregarded everything else!

She pulled the petite Minglan into her arms and said tenderly, "Ming'er, Grandmother knows you're worried about her!"

"But when you made this decision, your grandmother already warned you that your choice was a path full of thorns!"

Although the old lady Sheng did not approve of the relationship between Minglan and Qi Heng at that time, and of course she still does not approve now, she has changed her tune this time.

"However, since you've already chosen this path, you should continue down it!"

"Are you really willing to give up before the road is even over?"

Grandma Sheng stroked Minglan's soft hair and murmured softly, "Ming'er, Grandma can tell!"

"Qi Heng, that kid, actually really likes you!"

Grandma Sheng pushed Minglan away from her arms, looked into her eyes, and said, "No one can predict what the future holds!"

"Perhaps this feeling will remain unchanged, or it may change at some point in the future, but for now, his resolve remains firm!"

"not to mention!"

"Now that things have come to this point, are you really willing to accept this tomorrow?"

Looking at Minglan before her, the old lady couldn't help but recall her own past.

Back then, she insisted on marrying Grandpa Sheng Xu despite all opposition, which was no less than a huge gamble!
To gamble with Old Mrs. Sheng's entire life's happiness!

Unfortunately!
That time, Old Madam Sheng lost her gamble. Now, Old Madam Sheng, who never wanted Minglan to follow in her footsteps, suddenly wants her to gamble again, to bet that the ending between Minglan and Qi Heng will not be like hers.

However, there was one thing that Old Madam Sheng overlooked.

That is, the old lady is the old lady, and Minglan is Minglan. Although they are close, they are ultimately not the same person!

Old Madam Sheng has lived a life of luxury since childhood, so she has the right and the ability to take such a gamble, while Minglan is not!

For the sake of her and her brother's survival, Minglan always lived cautiously, carefully trying to please all sorts of people in the Sheng family environment!

Whether it was elders like Sheng Hong and Madam Wang, or older brothers and sisters like Sheng Changbai, Sheng Changfeng, and Rulan, or even Lin Qinshuang and Molan from Linxi Pavilion, they were all people Minglan always treated with care.

To put it bluntly, even the kind-hearted Old Madam Sheng treated her with humility.

After all, if it weren't for a series of coincidences at the beginning, Old Madam Sheng might not have looked at Minglan differently.

In the entire Sheng family, perhaps only her younger brother, Sheng Changquan, is someone Minglan can feel at ease with.

"Grandmother, there's no need!"

After Old Madam Sheng finished speaking, Minglan shook her head and refused outright.

"Grandmother, I think we should leave this matter here!"

Minglan saw it clearly and knew just how difficult it was.

"Perhaps, the feelings between me and the young master are not strong enough yet!"

Minglan touched her chest, feeling the emotions within, and murmured, "Although I feel a little uncomfortable now, I don't feel the heart-wrenching, excruciating pain described in the stories."

"In fact, I even felt a sense of relief and relief at that moment!"

"Grandmother, please tell me!"

"Could it be because I am inherently a heartless person?"

Minglan stared blankly at Old Madam Sheng, her face filled with confusion.

"Silly boy!"

Grandma Sheng pinched Minglan's cheek, saying with a mixture of anger and resentment, "What kind of heartlessness is this?"

"If you are truly a heartless person, then Grandmother can finally rest easy!"

"grandmother?"

Minglan doesn't understand!

Grandma Sheng shook her head and didn't continue the conversation, only saying, "Ming'er, are you really sure?"

"Should I completely give up on this relationship, sever all ties with Qi Heng from now on, and have no other intentions?"

"Ok!"

Perhaps because she spent so much time with Sheng Changquan, Minglan's personality became much more decisive.

"Now that I've tried, I have no regrets!"

At this moment, Minglan deliberately put on a smile, showing Old Madam Sheng her relieved side.

"Moreover, perhaps it's just that I'm destined to be apart from the young master!"

"He cannot defy his parents for my sake, and I do not wish to become someone else's concubine. So, since we cannot be together, why torment each other?"

"Perhaps, from now on, we'll be better off as strangers—no, as siblings!"

"It will be better for us, for the Sheng family, and for the Qi family!"

Minglan spoke at length, which effectively brought the matter to a conclusion!

"Ming'er, you..."

Grandma Sheng sighed softly, but said nothing more.

……

"So, Princess Pingning came to our door this time to take in an adopted daughter?"

After listening to Kikyo's report, Sheng Changquan's eyes flashed, and a rare look of anger appeared on his face!
"This is truly outrageous!"
