Do You Know?: I, the Little Cabinet Elder, Regent of the World

Sheng Hong was taken aback, turned around and looked back, feeling a sudden panic in his heart.

He knows his wife too well.

Wang Ruofu is too confident this time!

"Catching someone in the act of adultery is such a despicable thing. You're asking a father to catch his own daughter cheating."

Sheng Hong's patience ran out, and he became inexplicably irritable. He quickly reached for a foot towel, wiped his feet a few times, and then abruptly stood up.

"you"

"I'll have someone call Lin Shi and Mo Lan over. You two can confront each other here." Sheng Hong hurriedly put on his shoes and walked quickly outside.

Just then, Wang Ruofu stood up and said, "If I utter even the slightest falsehood, may Rulan's marriage be ruined, Hua'er be disliked by Zhaoge'er, and never be able to hold his head high again."

Sheng Hong was stunned. He glanced at his wife a few times and shook his head with a slight tremor.

Immediately, he strode outside.

Wang Ruofu was startled and took a few steps forward, intending to observe.

As a result, Sheng Hong came back.

His face was blank, and there was unspeakable pain in his eyes.

"Oh my God!"

With a soft cry, Sheng Hong knelt down and began to sob quietly.

He knows his wife so well!

In fact, from the moment Wang Ruofu solemnly uttered the word "adultery," he believed it to be 70%.

However, a glimmer of hope made him subconsciously favor the remaining 30%, believing it might be a power struggle among his wives and concubines within the household.

However, Wang Ruofu's oath completely shattered any remaining hope he had.

There was no other reason than that Wang Ruofu swore an oath with Rulan and Hualan.

As a husband, Sheng Hong knew very well that his wife cared most about their children.

Now, the fact that they're using their children to make a poisonous oath speaks volumes.

This is absolutely true!

Mo Lan really did have an affair!

After crying quietly for a while, Sheng Hong burst into loud sobs.

On the one hand, his daughter's shameless behavior grieved him.

On the other hand, Mo Lan's affair has had a huge impact!

This involves the family's reputation; if not handled properly, the entire Sheng family will be affected.

His future.

Changbai's official career.

Hua'er's status.

A marriage as beautiful as orchids.

A few days passed.

Yuqing Temple.

Two maids entered, one with practiced ease, while the other cautiously surveyed the surroundings.

About an incense stick's time later, a young man in a brocade robe, looking expectant, pushed open the door and entered.

"Phew!" Sheng Hong, who had been quietly following behind, let out a breath, his eyes inexplicably reddening.

"My lord," Wang Ruofu reminded him.

Sheng Hong sighed and waved his hand. Several rough old women who had signed a death contract rushed forward and took control of the lookout maid.

"despair!"

The door opened, and Sheng Hong strode in.

A curtain about ten feet long covered the two of them, and one could vaguely see the young master holding the woman.

Sheng Hong rushed over and took a look.

"what!"

"Disgraceful thing!"

A gasp escaped, followed by overwhelming grief.

Jiying Lane.

A prosperous mansion and a lush pavilion.

"Oh my God!"

"What kind of crazy commotion is this?"

Sheng Hualan held a handkerchief, looking like she was watching a melon seed.

"Hua'er, why are you back?" Wang Ruofu asked in surprise.

"Mother, what's going on between Mo Lan and Liang Liulang?" Sheng Hualan asked curiously.

As the eldest sister, she naturally possessed the demeanor of one, and when it came to fine gold and silver jewelry, all three younger sisters received a share.

However, as a daughter, Sheng Hualan was very aware of the struggle between her mother and Lin Qinshuang.

It was rare to see Lin Qinshuang and Sheng Molan suffer a setback, and she felt quite eager to watch the drama unfold.

"Say something!" Wang Ruofu remained silent for a long time, which made Sheng Hualan even more curious.

"How did you find out about this?" Wang Ruofu asked incredulously. "My lord and I brought servants who had signed life-or-death contracts. We surrounded the area like an iron barrel. There was absolutely no way it could have been leaked."

Wang Ruofu felt inexplicably uneasy.

If news of Mo Lan's affair gets out, what will happen to her children?

"What kind of iron bucket?"

Sheng Hualan was puzzled: "The wives and noblewomen of officials are spreading rumors that Liang Liulang and Mo Lan were hugging and embracing each other, which is improper. They are saying it in great detail."

As she spoke, Sheng Hualan looked like she was seeking an answer.

As the wife of a second-rank official from Nanyang County, she enjoyed considerable prestige among the wives and daughters of officials and noblewomen.

She made a special trip, partly out of curiosity and a desire to hear the gossip, and partly hoping her mother would provide some inside information so she could refute the rumors.

怎料

"What? It's not that they're having an affair?"

Wang Ruofu breathed a long sigh of relief.

As long as it's not adultery!

Admittedly, hugging and cuddling isn't good news either, but compared to having an affair, it's undoubtedly a whole level better.

"what?!"

"adultery?"

Sheng Hualan was startled, her mouth slightly agape, and she froze for a moment.

This isn't the kind of gossip she wanted to hear!

"Oh my God!"

"Oh my God!"

Sheng Hualan clutched her heart, her clear eyes slightly red.

"What if the official finds out the truth?"

"Mother, how am I supposed to live?"

Such extreme joy and sorrow could not be more profound.

Originally, Sheng Hualan just wanted to watch the drama unfold.

Turns out, this is a huge bombshell!

Not hugging or cuddling!

Yes, adultery?!

Tears fell silently, and a low sob rose in her ears.

If this gets out, she'll probably be divorced!

Wang Ruofu was taken aback.

Right!

What will Hua'er do if the affair really becomes known throughout the capital?

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruofu became anxious and enraged, and suddenly fainted.

"Mother?"

"Madam!"

Chapter 148 Sheng Hong is broken in love!

The candlelight flickered softly as night gently enveloped the scene.

Linqi Pavilion.

In the main seat, Sheng Hong sighed silently, his heart filled with grief.

"Honglang, please spare Mo'er!"

Lin Qinshuang looked on with eager anticipation.

"Spare her, and then what?" Sheng Hong asked indifferently.

"Then?"

Lin Qinshuang quickly replied, "Then, naturally we'll find Liang Liulang, have him propose marriage, set a date, and make it a happy union!"

With the young Grand Secretary's sister-in-law having an affair, it's impossible for Liang Liulang to escape unscathed.

With the backing of the young Grand Secretary, Liang Liulang wouldn't dare to deny his identity.

"what?"

Sheng Hong looked incredulous: "Heavens! Mo'er had an affair and caused such a scandal, and you actually want me to go find Liang Liulang?"

"But the scandal involving Mo'er and Liang Han has already spread like wildfire. If we don't take this opportunity to bring the two together, people will inevitably start to speculate and criticize the Sheng family's reputation!"

"Honglang," Lin Qinshuang said urgently, "Mo'er has overstepped her bounds, but Liang Han isn't exactly a saint either. Mo'er and Liang Han are just like you and me back then."

"What do you mean, 'you' and 'me'?"

Before he could finish speaking, Sheng Hong snorted, feeling extremely annoyed.

adultery!

Such behavior is extremely immoral, and if not handled carefully, it could destroy decades of the Sheng family's wealth.

Reputation, social standing, and power—without exception, all will suffer a major blow.

"Hong Lang," Lin Qinshuang called out, about to say something, but Sheng Hong's face suddenly darkened.

"you?"

Sheng Hong realized something and questioned, "How did you know that Mo'er's scandal had spread?"

"When they caught them in the act, the maids and servants surrounded them like an iron barrel. Logically, it shouldn't have gotten out. Even I only found out that the news had already spread after Hua'er came back."

“Since the incident with Mo’er, you have been ordered to be confined to Linxi Pavilion.”

"How did you know?" Sheng Hong stared intently at his favorite concubine.
