Chapter 65: Evil guests come to the door
Sheng Hong's sudden change of character shocked everyone in the Sheng family. The servants worked diligently and did their jobs without complaint, and no one said strange things about their master in secret anymore.

Sheng Hong was not targeting Molan alone, but directly asked Fang Mama to clean up a yard and raise all the children of the Sheng family there.

It is stipulated that academic performance will be assessed every seven days. Those who fail the assessment are not allowed to return to their mothers until they pass the assessment. After that, they can stay with their biological mothers for one day.

Not counting the baby Wei Xiaoniang is pregnant with, the Sheng family already has seven children. Hualan is now unmarried and is not suitable to live with the other sisters.

The remaining Changbai was already a grown-up child, so he understood Sheng Hong's decision very well.

The third brother, Chang Feng, had just been taught a lesson, so he didn't dare to express any opinions and could only accept his fate.

The youngest, Minglan, has always been very well-behaved and has never done anything too radical.

The ones who made the biggest noise were the sisters Rulan and Molan. Both of them were spoiled and of course were unwilling to endure the harshness of their father Sheng Hong.

"Sir, Rulan is still young!

She has always been willful.

If you suddenly start controlling her like this, she won't be able to adapt!" Madam Wang Ruofu looked at Sheng Hong in front of her and said pleadingly.

“A loving mother often spoils her child!

I was too indulgent in the past, and now you've all become so spoiled!"

"Sir, you are right!

But we have to take it step by step!

The children won’t be able to adapt to such harshness all of a sudden!”

"I know what's best for the child, so please stop bothering me!

I heard your sister Kang Wangshi is here again?"

"Huh? Yes! My sister is short on money lately and wants to borrow some money from me!"

"Humph! She's been to our Sheng family so many times. Does she really think our Sheng family is a silver shop?"

During dinner, Sheng Hong saw this Lady Kang Wang, whose face was full of cunning and viciousness. She was truly a cruel and ruthless evil woman.

"Brother-in-law, I heard from my sister that you are unwilling to lend money to my family?"

"Aunt, it's not that I don't want to.

You come here too often!
Our Sheng family does not run a money shop.

How can I bear this kind of borrowing from you?" Sheng Hong said with a forced smile.

"Brother-in-law, stop crying poor to me!

I heard some time ago that you hooked up with the Bai family, the salt merchants in Yangzhou.

Every day, money flows into your Sheng family like water!

I just borrowed a mere two thousand taels, and your brother-in-law is already distressed?" Mrs. Kang said disapprovingly.

After hearing what Lady Kang said, Sheng Hong looked at the eldest lady Wang Ruofu standing beside him, and suddenly felt a sense of disappointment.

Feeling Sheng Hong's gaze, Wang Ruofu could only lower her head helplessly and act like a quail.

"Brother-in-law, I came all the way from Tokyo to Yangzhou. You should at least give me some face, right?"

"Haha, auntie, you are so generous!

"Two thousand taels right out of the box!" Sheng Hong said with a sneer.

In the end, Wang Kang took the two thousand taels and left the Sheng family happily. Sheng Hong looked at the lady Wang Ruofu beside him and suddenly remembered a saying: There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

Sheng Hong no longer had any hope for Wang Ruofu. She even told this Queen Kang about such a secret matter of her family.

In fact, Sheng Hong is quite miserable. The lady he married after three matchmakers and six betrothals had a strong background, but she was a stupid as hell!
He took a concubine named Lin Qinshuang, who was sensitive to his feelings and could act like a spoiled child, but she was also vicious at heart.

The last concubine, Wei Xiaoniang, was well-educated and not competitive, but she had a cold personality.

There is no normal woman around here.

Looking at his confidant Dong Rong, Sheng Hong suddenly whispered, "Dong Rong, I have something for you to do. Are you willing to do it?"

"Master, please give your orders!
Dongrong will definitely do it properly!"

"This matter is very troublesome. We cannot leave any clues, otherwise..." Sheng Hong suddenly looked at Dong Rong seriously.

"Master, don't worry!

Whether it means climbing a mountain of swords or descending into a sea of fire, I, Dong Rong, will never refuse!"

"Yeah! I believe you!
He secretly followed Lady Kang, and once she got on the boat, he killed her!
"Then the two thousand taels she brought will all belong to you!" Sheng Hong whispered. "Ah?" Dong Rong widened his eyes in shock.

"What? Don't you dare anymore?"

"Master, I'll go down and prepare!
I will bring back all the money intact!"

“No need to bring it back.

You deserve it.

Be careful and don't leave any mess behind!"

"Yes! Don't worry, sir!" Dong Rong replied in a low voice.

Looking at Dong Rong's leaving back, Sheng Hong smiled with relief. This Dong Rong not only had skills, but was also very skilled and often did some "dirty things" for him.

In a feudal society, it is really difficult to get things done without a few trusted deadpools.

Based on Sheng Hong's understanding of this Queen Kang, she will never be satisfied. She will only continue to mess with the Sheng family and treat the Sheng family as her cash cow.

Since the Kang Wang family has run to his territory this time, the best solution is to completely eliminate the Kang Wang family.

Sheng Hong believed that staying in the river to feed the fish was the best destination for King Kang.

When Sheng Hong arrived at Wei Xiaoniang's place, he was pleasantly surprised to find Xiaodie back. He smiled unconsciously, "Xiaodie, have you figured it out?"

"Master, after returning home, my family members all agreed!" Xiaodie blushed and didn't dare to look at Sheng Hong.

"Do you agree with this?"

"."

Xiaodie didn't answer, but just lowered her head, her face red to her ears.

Seeing Xiaodie in front of him, Sheng Hong suddenly felt refreshed, no longer feeling the frustration of being asked for money by King Kang.

In ancient times, taking a concubine was very simple, and there was no grand ceremony at all. Xiaodie was different from his wife and two concubines, and those who understood should understand.

Linqi Pavilion.

Ringo Frost had already thrown the furnishings in the room countless times, and Xue Niang was terrified, "How abominable!
Why did Honglang suddenly become fickle?

He actually took Xiaodie as his concubine!"

"That maidservant from back then is now on equal footing with me, Ringo Shuang!"

"Little girl, it's no use getting angry here!
Let's think of a way to win back the master's favor!"

"Xue Niang, what do you want me to do?
When it comes to youth and beauty, I definitely can't compare to Xiaodie!

How can I compare with her?"

"My dear, I think the master still loves you!

For Xiaodie, it's just a temporary novelty!"

"Yes! Xueniang, what you said makes sense!

I have Changfeng and I have Molan!
They are my foundation, Honglang will definitely change his mind!"

“When Changfeng and Molan come back next time, I will definitely ask them to study hard.

You must please Honglang so that he will change his mind!"

Shou'an Hall.

"Mother Fang, look, I'm not wrong!
My son has just been normal for two days, and he suddenly took a concubine!" The old lady looked at Fang Mama beside her and said suddenly in a bad mood.

"Old lady, it's not necessarily a bad thing for a magistrate to take a concubine!

He also wants the Sheng family to have many children!
No matter how prosperous a family is, without descendants to carry on its legacy, it will be nothing but a castle in the air and will inevitably fall into decline."

"Hehe! I hope he considers the Sheng family and stops doing such evil things!
This will have a huge impact on his official reputation in the future!" The old lady was still a little worried.

"Old lady, I think you are worrying too much!
The magistrate did not like to frequent brothels, he just took a concubine.

I feel it’s better this way!”

“What you said makes sense!
Nowadays, many literati and poets think that frequenting brothels is elegant.

In fact, it is all their own indulgence!
My son, on this point, makes me feel at ease!"
