Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 387 Don’t believe it
Actually, if she had known nothing at the beginning, things would have been better, and Minglan's heart wouldn't have undergone so many changes.

but!

Now that things have come to this, Aunt Wei suddenly says it was all a misunderstanding. How can Minglan possibly accept that?
"Auntie, have you confirmed it?"

Minglan was somewhat incredulous: "Is this really alright?"

Looking at Aunt Wei in front of her, Minglan bit her lip and, unusually earnest, said, "Back then, things happened suddenly, and I was still young, so there are some things I don't remember very clearly, but!"

"What I remember most clearly is that little girl..."

Minglan choked up for a moment, then continued, "After she insisted on giving birth to Xiao Qi... she passed away!"

“From then on, I dared not say or do much, and I didn’t even dare to think about it, all for the sake of Xiaoqi and me living well.”

"Originally, I also suspected it was man-made, until you told me you also had doubts, but..."

At this point, Minglan's eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Auntie, tell me, look me in the eyes and tell me—"

"It's all a misunderstanding!"

“There is absolutely no shady business involved here!”

“Minglan…”

Seeing Minglan so distraught, Aunt Wei couldn't help but burst into tears.

However, the more Minglan cared about this matter, the less Aunt Wei dared to tell her the truth.

Since Sheng Changquan already has a plan, why add unnecessary trouble for Minglan?
Compared to young women, it is much easier for a young man like Sheng Changquan to act, not to mention that Sheng Changquan himself is outstanding in ability and has a deep mind.

"Auntie, actually, I've been thinking back on what happened back then during this time."

Seeing that Aunt Wei was also in tears, Minglan belatedly realized that she had lost her composure. She paused, calmed herself down a little, and continued, "Aunt, but you certainly don't know!"

"Back then, many strange things happened in the courtyard. Not only did my youngest daughter suddenly have a difficult childbirth, but the two midwives who were in charge of delivering babies in our household also got drunk and were unconscious."

"Moreover, when I went to see the concubine, no one in the courtyard went to fetch any other midwives or doctors!"

Minglan seemed to see the veins from back then before her eyes, and her hands involuntarily clenched, the veins on her hands bulging out.

"In the end, I had to run around like crazy to find a doctor, thanks to the help of a benefactor!"

"But in the end, they couldn't save my little one..."

"Minglan!"

Just as Minglan was about to continue speaking, Aunt Wei abruptly interrupted her.

“Minglan, your aunt knows you’re upset, but that’s the truth.”

Aunt Wei stood up, walked to Minglan's side, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Perhaps someone delayed things back then, but your mother was already having a difficult childbirth. This was not done by someone else. We cannot misunderstand others."

Although it was meant to conceal the truth from Minglan, the words she spoke still made Aunt Wei feel nauseous.

“Minglan, those servants who delayed were also sold off by your family back then, so we can say we’ve gotten our revenge!”

"But, Auntie..."

"Minglan! Remember this: this matter ends here!"

Aunt Wei reached out and wiped away Minglan's tears, saying earnestly, "So much time has passed, it's all in the past!"

"Ugh!"

Aunt Wei sighed, suppressing her inner turmoil, and said, "Actually, it's all my fault. I was so self-righteous and insisted on dwelling on what happened back then, which is why you're so upset, Ming'er!"

"Ming'er, if you want to blame someone, blame your aunt!"

"Auntie, I don't blame you."

Minglan naturally shook her head at this.

"Ming'er, do you still remember your mother's dying wish?" Aunt Wei hugged Minglan and gently patted her back, saying softly, "Actually, what my sister hoped for most was that you and Quan'er could grow up healthy, get married, raise children, and eventually have your own children."

"Nothing else matters to my sister..."

It has to be said that people's words really do change depending on their stance. Regardless of Aunt Wei's original intentions, she changed her tune as quickly as turning the pages of a book.

Super fast!

……

That night.

When Sheng Changquan returned from the literary gathering, the first thing he saw upon entering the courtyard was a large group of people standing outside his house.

"Shiyuan, Jiegeng, what are you doing?"

Seeing Ziyuan and the others standing outside the house, craning their necks and pricking up their ears, Sheng Changquan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't you feel cold outside? Why don't you come inside?"

"Oh, young master!!"

"Master, you are back!"

"..."

When Ziyuan, Jiegeng, and the others saw Sheng Changquan, they all ran over.

"Young Master, Aunt Wei and the Sixth Miss are arguing inside!"

Before anyone else could explain, Kikyo blurted out the reason.

"Ok?"

Sheng Changquan frowned and asked, "What happened? Why did my sister and aunt get into a fight?"

"Could something have gone wrong?" Sheng Changquan wondered to himself.

“We don’t know either, but there was definitely a lot of arguing going on inside the house.”

Ziyuan approached Sheng Changquan and confirmed Kikyo's statement.

Aside from Cuiming, Ziyuan is probably the most reliable one in Zeyutang.

There was no way around it; Kikyo was lively and not steady enough, Qingfeng and Mingyue were too young, and as for Cuiming, she wasn't there at the moment.

After all, Cuiming, like Cuiwei, was sent by the old lady. So when Aunt Wei came over, she wanted to avoid the situation and went to the old lady's place to chat with her former sisters and catch up.

Sheng Changquan nodded in response, then looked at Xiao Tao standing at the door and asked her, "Sister Xiao Tao, are Aunt and my older sister still arguing?"

"It's no longer available."

"but."

Xiao Tao shook her head first, then added, "It was really loud before!"

She pursed her lips and said, "Because the young lady told us to go out, I've been staying here. As for the current situation inside the house, I'm not quite sure."

"Brother Quan, please go in and take a look!"

"Ah."

Seeing this, Sheng Changquan disregarded the smell of alcohol on his clothes, took three steps at a time, walked to the door, and pushed it open to enter.

"Auntie, older sister!"

Sheng Changquan pushed open the door and called out.

"Xiao Qi, you're back! Come here quickly!"

Upon seeing Sheng Changquan, Minglan immediately waved to him and greeted him.
