Chapter 312

Sudden.

Sheng Hong took a step forward, like a drowning man, trying to grasp the last straw in front of him. He held Lin Qinshuang's hand tightly and said in a sad and urgent voice:

"Shuang'er, if I was just a poor scholar with no money, would you... would you still say that?"

"Yes! Shuang'er will tell Honglang whatever he wants to hear."

At this moment, Lin Qinshuang once again showed the bright smile on her face that had been so familiar to Sheng Hong over the years.

At that time I just thought it was a romantic and cozy scene, but now it seems that it was just a joke!

Just like those people in Chuguan.

Others make money, but she cheats!

"you you!"

Sheng Hong was stunned, his body trembling slightly:
"You think of me like this, you think of me like this?"

"I have kept you in my heart for more than 20 years!"

Sheng Hong had an extremely hard childhood, and it is no exaggeration to say that he lived from hand to mouth.

Fortunately, he was raised by Old Madam Sheng, which enabled him to embark on a career in politics and achieve what he has today.

However, the shadow of his childhood was too deep, and Sheng Hong still could not forget the suffering he suffered in his childhood, so he dared not take others to heart.

therefore.

He was very busy in the officialdom, very cautious and timid, and dared not make friends with others.

At home, I just do my own duties well.

Be a good son to Old Lady Sheng, a husband to Wang Ruofu, and a father to the children in the family.

But for Lin Qinshuang, he devoted himself to her for more than 20 years.

He even disregarded the reputation of favoring his concubine over his wife, which would affect his official career.

But now, the only true love I dared to entrust to others in this life has resulted in such a result?

Sheng Hong couldn't accept it in his heart, and he didn't dare to accept it.

If my true love was all in vain, then what was the point of all these years for Lin Qinshuang to rebel against Old Lady Sheng who raised me with great difficulty, and to ignore Lady Wang Ruofu who married into a poor family?
For a lie made up by Lin Qinshuang?

it is ridiculous!

It's just ridiculous!
It was said that Molan had ruined the reputation of the family's daughter, but in Sheng Hong's view at this moment, what Lin Qinshuang said was even more of a disaster for him!

"Even with such a big event happening, Honglang still has such leisure and elegance."

Lin Qinshuang just wanted Molan's marriage to be successful, so she interrupted Sheng Hong's reminiscence and said:

"No matter whether you hate me or blame me, even if it's for the reputation of those two girls, Rulan and Minglan, you should think about how to propose marriage to the Liang family!"

Sheng Hong looked at Lin Qinshuang with an absurd expression:

"Are you blackmailing me? How dare you blackmail me!"

"Kuro, this is not a threat."

Seeing that the matter had turned to the main topic, Lin Qinshuang wiped away her tears, and then her tone softened:

"Once this marriage is decided, no one else will know what happened in Yuqing Temple. At most, they can say that the candidate is close to her. But if it doesn't work out..."

Lin Qinshuang looked straight at Sheng Hong, her tone gradually becoming colder as she spoke:
"Then Rulan and Minglan will probably not be able to get married in the future! All the women in the Sheng family will suffer because of this!"

“Even if the eldest sister marries like that, and the Yang family girl who is about to marry Changbai, will suffer for this!”

"Anyone who has anything to do with the female relatives, you Sheng family, Wang family, Yang family, and the old lady, all of you, find a way!"

Sheng Hong didn't expect that Lin Qinshuang could say such words so brazenly.

At the same time, he was even more aware that this matter was probably instigated by Lin Qinshuang behind the scenes.

I was so angry that I could no longer suppress the anger in my heart.

Snapped!
"Bitch!" A slap filled with hatred and resentment immediately made Lin Qinshuang collapse on the bed.

Lin Qinshuang received a slap in the face, but her expression did not change at all. She just slowly sat up from the couch and half recalled and half narrated:
"When Madam Kong taught us the rules at home, although I never attended the class, I remembered the most clear and appropriate sentence - in a family, if one prospers, all prosper, and if one suffers, all suffer!"

Lin Qinshuang looked at Sheng Hong and said:
"If my Mo'er's marriage doesn't work out, then no one will have a good life!"

"How shameless! How shameless!" Seeing that Lin Qinshuang was determined to drag everyone down with her and fight to the death, Sheng Hong shouted sadly.

My heart felt cold.

Sheng Hong left the room in a daze.

Beside the bed, Lin Qinshuang straightened her messy hair and clothes, tidied them up, and sat leisurely in front of the dressing mirror, looking fixedly at herself in the brass mirror.

"I had no choice but to stay in the Sheng family. I have managed the family for so many years and now have the current situation. I cannot let Moer follow in my footsteps!"

"The Earl's wife..."

Lin Qinshuang gently stroked her dark eyebrows and put on a smile from the heart again.

"I will be the mother-in-law of the Earl's legitimate son in the future!"

How long can you be good if you treat people with your beauty?

Didn’t you see that Sheng Hong has been much colder towards you in recent years and has been going to Mu Cang Zhai more often?

As time goes by, when the color is gone, I am afraid there will be no place for her with Sheng Hong.

Not to mention the Sheng family that will be under the control of Changbai in the future.

That would be even more difficult.

It's fine now.

Having successfully married Molan into such a powerful family and having such a status, he no longer had to worry about the Sheng family looking down on him in the future.

As for offending Sheng Hong...

Lin Qinshuang thought to herself:
'It's just going to cause more tears.'

What is so precious about tears?

Shou'an Hall.

During the time when Sheng Hong was away, Wang Ruofu had discussed with Old Madam Sheng for a while and came up with a rough plan.

So I calmed down immediately.

At this time, Sheng Hong walked in with a lost look on his face.

Seeing Sheng Hong like this, Old Lady Sheng and Wang Ruofu could tell what had just happened.

Wang Ruofu had originally decided to wait for Sheng Hong to come in and then ridicule him to vent the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for many years.

But seeing Sheng Hong's pitiful appearance, Wang Ruofu's heart, which had hardened up with great difficulty, softened immediately.

I can no longer say bad words.

However, Wang Ruofu immediately remembered that Sheng Hong was acting like this because of Lin Qinshuang, and she felt unhappy again.

She pursed her lips secretly, looked at Sheng Hong with lowered eyebrows, and felt sour in her heart. She thought unhappily:
"If it were me, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this."

Thinking of this, Wang Ruofu could only glare at Sheng Hong in frustration, giving him a look that showed she was disappointed in him.

Old Madam Sheng took in everything in the room, but was in no hurry to speak.

After a long silence, Sheng Hong said:
"Mother, son..."

"You must apologize to me."

Old Madam Sheng waved her hand and said:
"If you want to apologize, you have to talk to the eldest lady. Her family can see clearly the grievances she has suffered over the years, and this matter also involves her." Hearing this.

Wang Ruofu, who was standing by, shook her shoulders immediately, and then sat up straight, instead of leaning on the chair.

Sheng Hong had no choice but to turn to Wang Ruofu who was standing beside him. However, after opening and closing his mouth several times, he could not utter a word. Finally, he muttered:
"Madam, you have worked hard over the years!"

Wang Ruofu had been fully alert and ready to listen to Sheng Hong's talk, but Sheng Hong held it in for such a long time and just... said this?
Wang Ruofu glanced sideways slightly, raising her eyebrows.

That's it? ?
Sheng Hong also knew that what he said was of some standard, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he had to turn his gaze back to Old Lady Sheng.

"Okay, you two should go back to your room and talk about your relationship. I, an old man, can't bear to hear this."

Old Madam Sheng knew that with Sheng Hong's face, he couldn't say many things in front of her. It was rare for him to say such a sincere and genuine word at that moment, so she didn't force it and turned the topic to Molan.

"Did you go to see Miss Lin just now? Tell me what happened."

Sheng Hong's expression darkened when he heard this, but he still told the whole story.

"Okay, okay, it's her!"

She already had a plan in mind and had just reached a compromise with Old Lady Sheng. Wang Ruofu was now only filled with resentment towards Lin Qinshuang.

She was a little reluctant to let Sheng Hong go, but as for Lin Qinshuang, she wanted to drink her blood and eat her flesh!

He immediately yelled:
"How can there be mothers like this in this world!"

"Giving advice to her own daughter, letting her hook up with men, and spreading rumors everywhere! She really has no shame at all!"

Wang Ruofu gives a hearty outburst of scolding.

Although he didn't mean to make indirect accusations, Sheng Hong still felt embarrassed and pursed his lips without saying a word.

"OK OK."

Old Madam Sheng knew that it was not appropriate to go too far, so after Wang Ruofu had vented her anger for a while, she interrupted her and turned to Sheng Hong and said:
"I have already made an agreement with the lady on this matter."

Sheng Hong immediately bowed and bowed his head, saying:

"Only at the mother's command!"

"This matter has already forced my family into a corner. We have no choice but to fulfill the wishes of her mother and daughter. Otherwise, Minglan and Rulan will not have a good life in the future."

Old Madam Sheng sighed, and then said:

"Tomorrow, Madam, please go to the Liang family to discuss the marriage with Madam Wu. Even if it means that you will suffer some verbal insults."

Sheng Hong felt relieved.

At least he doesn't have to lose face by going to the Liang family to propose marriage.

Immediately, he felt guilty towards Wang Ruofu, and immediately turned around and saluted Wang Ruofu:
"Thank you for your trip!"

"Humph!"

Wang Ruofu tilted her head and snorted proudly.

"It's good to know!"

Wang Ruofu: Now you know how good I am!
"As for Lin Qinshuang..."

Old Madam Sheng lowered her eyebrows and glanced at Wang Ruofu.

When they were talking just now, she and Wang Ruofu had some arguments about how to deal with Lin Qinshuang.

According to Wang Ruofu's idea, from now on, there would be no place for Lin Qinshuang in the family, so she was asked to call a pawnbroker to come to the house tomorrow and sell Lin Qinshuang out!
Selling Lin Qinshuang away was Wang Ruofu's obsession.

However, this was rejected by Old Lady Sheng.

After all, Changfeng is the son of the Sheng family, born to Lin Qinshuang, and he will have to take imperial examinations in the future.

If Changfeng's biological mother were sold now, how would Changfeng face being an official in the future when he passes the imperial examination?

So this won’t work.

Old Madam Sheng then suggested that Lin Qinshuang be handed over to Sheng Hong for punishment.

Wang Ruofu naturally disagreed.

In her opinion, if Lin Qinshuang was handed over to Sheng Hong, he would probably have to lift her up high and put her down gently, just like he did in the past.

Now that she had finally caught Lin Qinshuang's handle, how could she let her go?

However, Old Lady Sheng saw it differently.

"If the sale fails, how will you deal with Miss Lin?"

Old Madam Sheng advised:
"If the punishment is too light, I'm afraid it won't satisfy you."

"If the punishment is too severe, how can I make your husband treat you the same as before and not have different dreams from now on?"

"You must know that in the future, you still have to live with your husband, and don't keep any grudges in your heart."

"In this case, it is better to hand Miss Lin over to your husband for punishment."

"Your husband has already seen clearly what kind of person Miss Lin is. Even if he doesn't punish her severely now, he won't treat her well in the future, let alone condone her."

"As long as you can bear this time, you will be able to sail through thousands of mountains and rivers in the future, and the road ahead will be smooth and peaceful!"

Mrs. Sheng's affectionate words made Wang Ruofu suddenly enlightened and let her let go of the idea of ​​handling it on her own.

Therefore, when the topic came up about how to deal with Lin Qinshuang, Old Lady Sheng turned her head and glanced at Wang Ruofu. Seeing that she just turned her face away and said nothing, she felt a little relieved.

Then he said to Sheng Hong:
"I'll leave Miss Lin to you to deal with."

"I……?"

Sheng Hong was immediately surprised and glanced at Wang Ruofu beside him.

I thought the lady would definitely be unhappy and would make a fuss, but Wang Ruofu just remained silent, obviously agreeing with Mrs. Sheng's decision.

Sheng Hong felt mixed emotions for a moment.

From a legal perspective, since Lin Qinshuang had committed such a crime that brought disaster to the entire family, she must be punished by him, the head of the Sheng family.

But logically speaking, he had done something wrong before and trusted the wrong person...

He originally thought that Wang Ruofu would definitely disagree, but who would have thought that Wang Ruofu would be so reasonable in the face of major issues.

Compare it with the hysterical Lin Qinshuang just now...

Sheng Hong felt it even more clearly.

"Have I missed you too much over the years?"

For a moment, Sheng Hong stood there in a daze, thinking about something in his mind.

"What's the matter, lord? Do you have any concerns?" Seeing that Sheng Hong didn't speak for a while, Old Lady Sheng at the seat of honor waited for a while before asking.

"No...never..."

Sheng Hong immediately shook his head, then lowered his head in response, looked deeply at Wang Ruofu for a few times, then turned to Old Lady Sheng and replied:
"Just listen to your mother and let your son decide!"

Old Madam Sheng nodded and said:

"That's all! My wife and I both trust your decision."

The story was over. Old Madam Sheng had just woken up from her illness and was not in high spirits. She closed her eyes slightly and said:
"I'm tired too, you two should go back to the house."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu each stood up, bowed, and then walked out the door.

Looking at the two people leaving, Old Lady Sheng looked up again, and then a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
