Chapter 100 Self-righteous Molan

Sheng Hong and others did not have to wait long in the Dali Temple. Gu Tingye and Shi Tou and others quickly brought the "victim's" husband back.

Seeing that their true identity was completely exposed, the "victim" and her husband did not give out the mastermind behind the scenes. Instead, they insisted that they were just trying to extort money from General Duan Chengyong.

Everyone present was a smart person, and the strength of the mastermind behind the scenes was evident. The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple looked at Sheng Hong, who was sitting next to him, with an embarrassed look on his face, and motioned Sheng Hong to help him come up with a plan.

Sheng Hong knew that it was not very realistic to completely uncover the mastermind behind the incident. He exchanged glances with his adopted son Gu Tingye and others, then turned to look at the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, "Sir Shaoqing, I think that's all!
Just deal with these two people according to the laws of the Great Zhou!"

"Yes! Your Excellency, Minister!" said the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple with a look of surprise.

Tokyo Prefecture is the economic and political center of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are too many political interest groups. Although it is easy to find out the mastermind behind it, it is troublesome to deal with it. It is better to keep it a secret like this.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, General Duan Chengyong was also very relieved. As soon as he walked out of the Dali Temple, he bowed to Sheng Hong and expressed his gratitude, "My Lord, it is thanks to you that you came here this time!
Otherwise, this time, I will be in real trouble!"

"Haha, the people in Tokyo Prefecture are not as simple and honest as those in Yuzhou, nor are they as straightforward as those in Yuzhou. There are many conspiracies and tricks that are hard to guard against!
From now on, you must learn from this lesson and be more cautious about things happening in Tokyo!"

The people in Yuzhou were all frightened by Sheng Hong's repeated reminder, and then they bowed and expressed their gratitude with deep agreement.

"Thank you, Minister, for your teachings!"

Looking at the respectful attitude of these upstarts from Yuzhou towards him, Sheng Hong was very satisfied. No matter where they went, only the strong would be respected by others.

When Sheng Hong returned to Chengyuan, he saw that Madam Shen had already gotten up and was waiting for him anxiously.

Seeing Sheng Hong coming back, Madam Shen finally felt relieved and said with joy, "My lord, you are back!
Just now I heard Xiao Cui say that Changsheng was looking for you in a hurry.

I thought something big had happened?

I was so worried!"

“Haha, silly lady!
This is how life is in Tokyo Prefecture; real swordplay is rare.

It's almost all this kind of bloodless conspiracy!" Sheng Hong kissed Madam Shen lovingly, indicating that she didn't need to worry, then sighed casually, and finally explained what happened this morning in a concise manner.

After hearing Sheng Hong's explanation, Shen Shi also agreed with it. In the past, she had witnessed many intrigues in the inner court, and she also agreed with Sheng Hong's complex views on Tokyo Prefecture.

"Sir, some conspiracies and schemes are impossible to guard against.

Our Sheng family is so prosperous, will it attract the jealousy and schemes of others?"

"Haha, that's for sure!
But being without desires makes one strong.

As long as our Sheng family works together, we have nothing to fear from the intrigues of the outside world."

"Hmm! What the lord said makes sense!

A harmonious family brings prosperity to everything!"

"Now our Sheng family has basically stabilized. We are no longer as timid and cautious as we were when we first entered Tokyo Prefecture!
In fact, I also gave face to the mastermind this time.

If they don't appreciate it, we will completely fall out.

Our Sheng family and those people from Yuzhou are not to be trifled with!"

"Yeah! That's right! My husband just left and I saw Molan and came to look for you!"

"Oh? What's going to happen to Molan?"

“Ruyue doesn’t know!
Molan saw that you were not there, and left without saying anything! "

"Xiao Cui, go call Miss Molan over and ask her what's going on!"

"Yes! Master!"

"Wait a minute! Never mind!

Let Molan go directly to Shou'an Hall!

My wife and I will be waiting for her there!"

"Yes!"

The group came to the old lady's Shou'an Hall. As soon as they greeted the old lady, Xiao Cui, the lady's personal maid, brought Molan to Shou'an Hall.

"Molan pays respects to grandmother, father, and stepmother!"

"Well! Molan, you're welcome!" the old lady responded with a smile.

Because the "evil" Lin Qishuang is no longer there, and Sheng Hong has been strict in managing the family in recent years, Molan is not as unruly as in the original drama, and the old lady has no prejudice against her.

Seeing Molan politely greet the old lady, Sheng Hong smiled and asked, "Molan, I heard from your stepmother that you have something to ask me?"

Hearing Sheng Hong's question, Mo Lan seemed to be hesitant at first, "Father, I..."

"Haha, Molan, if you have anything to say, just speak out loudly!
The reason I called you to your grandmother's Shou'an Hall is to help you!"

Hearing Sheng Hong's comfort, Molan suddenly burst into tears with a look of grievance, "Father, my mother left me!

No one cares about Mo'er's lifelong affairs!"

"Why would Molan have such an idea?" Sheng Hong's face suddenly turned ugly, and his tone became a little stiff.

Seeing Molan's behavior, it was clear that she had learned all the methods from Lin Qinshuang. Sheng Hong had been trying to avoid this situation, but he didn't expect that Molan had picked up some of Lin Qinshuang's bad habits.

Seeing her father Sheng Hong's sudden change in expression and hearing his somewhat stiff tone, Molan remembered that her father Sheng Hong hated the crying children of the Sheng family the most, so she quickly stopped pretending.

"Don't be angry, Dad!
Moer knew he was wrong!

But Mo'er saw that the younger Minglan and Rulan already had good families.

Molan is a little worried about her marriage! "

The eldest lady Shen, who was standing by, certainly didn't know what kind of person Lin Qinshuang was. She only heard that she was Sheng Hong's favorite concubine and that she had contracted an illness and died suddenly on the ship from Yangzhou to Tokyo Prefecture.

Now, after hearing the strange conversation between Sheng Hong and Molan, and seeing Molan's expression changing at will, Madam Shen was also a little surprised. Could it be that the Molan in front of her was really a girl of sixteen or seventeen? This was really not the kind of scheming a girl should have.

"Molan, your grandmother, your father, and even your stepmother, the eldest lady, have always been worried about you!
Just yesterday, your stepmother said she would arrange for you to meet He Hongwen from the Baishitan He family!"

"Ah? The Baishitan He family? He Hongwen?" Molan looked a little surprised.

The old lady on the side also heard Sheng Hong and Madam Shen's plan for the first time. She also showed a surprised expression. Then, after careful consideration, she felt that this marriage was a good one and nodded involuntarily.

"He Hongwen from the He family is indeed more stable!
If He Hongwen and Molan can marry, it will be more suitable for both of them!"

Hearing her father Sheng Hong's plan and her grandmother's approval, Mo Lan, who already had a goal in mind, quickly refused in panic, saying, "Father, grandmother, the Baishi Tan He family is only a medical family.

Moer really doesn't want to deal with drugs all day long!"

Sheng Hong, Shen and the old lady were very disappointed with Molan's straightforward rejection. It seemed that Molan did not appreciate the good intentions of Sheng Hong and the old lady.

"Mo'er, since you don't like He Hongwen, it seems you already have an idea in mind!
"Why don't you just say it today!" Sheng Hong knew he couldn't say anything about Mo Lan's refusal. Hearing that his father Sheng Hong and grandmother would no longer pester He Hongwen of the He family, Mo Lan finally felt relieved. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then pretended to be shy and explained, "Father, Mo'er heard yesterday that Madam Wu from the Yongchang Earl's Mansion came to our Sheng family with her sixth son Liang Han!"

"What? Have you come into contact with this Liang Han before?"

Sheng Hong suddenly remembered the affair between Molan and Liang Han in the original drama, and then stood up angrily.

Although Mrs. Shen and the old lady were also surprised by Molan's idea, they became even more confused when they saw Sheng Hong's angry expression.

Seeing her father Sheng Hong's extreme reaction, Molan felt a sudden tightening in her heart, and then she quickly explained with a trembling heart, "No! Father!

I only met the Sixth Young Master of the Liang Family once before when I was playing polo!"

"Hmph! I will investigate this matter myself!
I hope your explanation is correct!

If I knew you were having an affair with a man outside your family, I would beat you to death in the ancestral hall!" Sheng Hong suddenly looked at Mo Lan with a sullen face.

"Father! Molan definitely didn't have a secret meeting with the Sixth Young Master of the Liang Family!
I just heard from the servants yesterday about the Liang family’s visit.

Only then did I suddenly realize I had found my father! "Thinking of Sheng Hong's harshness in the past, Molan was really frightened and hurriedly tried to explain.

"Humph! Naturally, your father has thoroughly investigated this matter!
As for this Liang Han, I think you must be aware of his bad behavior?
Do you really want your life to be ruined by this kind of person?"

"Father, although the Sixth Young Master of the Liang family has done many shameful things.

But most of the noble children in Tokyo Prefecture are like this!

He is not a very evil person!
Outstanding people like Qi Heng, the young master of the Duke of Qi, are extremely rare!

Mo'er doesn't expect to have the same good fortune as her sixth sister Minglan! "

Hearing Molan's opinion, Sheng Hong felt helpless. After all, marriage is a matter of personal will. Even though Sheng Hong had a God's perspective and knew clearly about Liang Han's unbearable character, he was unable to persuade Molan.

Not to mention the feudal society of the Zhou Dynasty, even in the free and democratic society of today, parents are powerless when encountering such things.

Even if parents tell their children all their life experiences and lessons, and their children memorize them seriously, when they encounter real problems, they will still not turn back until they hit a wall.

"Since you, Molan, have your own ideas, your father will not say anything more!

As long as we investigate and confirm that you did not have a secret meeting with Liang Han in advance, your father will no longer object to this matter!

But, Molan, let me remind you!
You chose Liang Han yourself. Whether you live a bitter or sweet life in the future, it has nothing to do with the Sheng family!"

“Thank you, Dad and Grandma, for making it happen!

No matter what happens in the future, Molan will never blame the Sheng family!"

"Well! You go down first!

Your grandmother and stepmother will help you solve this matter!"

"Yes! Father! Mo'er is leaving!"

Looking at Molan's leaving back, Sheng Hong shook his head helplessly, and suddenly felt powerless.

"Master Shilang, if you could wake up sooner.

If she hadn't indulged Lin Qishuang like before, maybe Molan wouldn't be like this!" The old lady was also very melancholy.

"Mother, it's all my son's fault!"

In fact, what Sheng Hong wanted to say was that if he could have traveled through time earlier, he would have ignored Lin Qinshuang and at least given her the "safflower soup" that would prevent her from having children in advance.

After hearing the conversation between the old lady and Sheng Hong, the eldest lady Shen became even more confused, realizing that Lin Qinshuang must have done something excessive. Seeing the self-righteous Molan, Shen could guess the general idea without asking.

"Sir, how should we deal with Molan's matter?"

"Hey! Now that I think about it, our Sheng family has very strict upbringing. Molan shouldn't have done something like having a secret meeting with Liang Han!

Since Molan has chosen this herself, there is no point for us as parents to force her!
Tomorrow you and your mother will go to the Earl of Yongchang's mansion to propose marriage!"

"Master, this Liang Han is so unbearable, I am still a little worried!"

"Haha, mother, you don't need to worry too much!
Our Sheng family is no longer the small family it used to be.

My son will warn his son-in-law Liang Han in advance!" Sheng Hong explained with a nonchalant smile.

"Don't dwell on the past, cherish the present, and don't allow the future to be!"

"Well! It seems that this is the only way!" The old lady nodded in agreement helplessly.

After leaving Shou'an Hall, Sheng Hong took his wife Shen on the way back to Weiruixuan, thinking about Molan's matter as he walked.

"Sir, what kind of person is this Miss Lin?"

Hearing Shen's doubts, Sheng Hong smiled indifferently, then motioned the servants around him to leave, then took Shen's hand and said, "Madam, the matter of Miss Lin is really a long story!

In the past, my wife Wang Ruofu and I were a model couple who respected each other like guests!

It's just that the eldest lady, Wang Ruofu, is rather stupid and is always deceived by her family and her elder sister, Wang Kang.

Things like secretly supporting the Kang and Wang families are all insignificant!

The most outrageous thing is that they secretly lend money outside and make money at interest.

Do you think this is what a scholarly family should do?

"Ah? Wang Ruofu and the Wang family are so excessive?" Shen's eyes widened in shock.

“So I no longer let Madam Wang Ruofu manage the Sheng family.

Lin Qinshuang is good at disguising herself. She first took advantage of the discord between Wang Ruofu and me, and then tried her best to please me!

My lord, I was also momentarily bewildered and did something like "favoring my concubine and killing my wife" in Yangzhou!

"But later I discovered that Ling Qin Shuang was too sinister, and her methods were becoming more and more despicable!
Then she stopped indulging her, and was worried that Molan and Changfeng would learn bad things by living with her, their biological mother.

So the Sheng family's children were gathered together to study."

"Then Ringo Frost fell ill and passed away. Coupled with my usual strict discipline, Molan and Changfeng gradually returned to their normal appearance!

I really didn't expect that Molan had learned Lin Xiaoniang's self-righteous tactics! "

"Oh! I don't know if Molan's life will be smooth sailing in the future!"

"Sir, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!
Sir, there is no need to worry too much!
Just as the official said, our Sheng family is no longer what it used to be.

If the Liang family of Yongchang Earl's Mansion wants to wrong Molan, they should think carefully beforehand!"
