Chapter 314 Getting Married
Not long after Changbai and Yang Rujin got married.
It was Molan and Liang Han’s wedding date.
However, it was different from Changbai’s wedding which was festive and everyone was happy.
On the day of Molan's wedding, although the Sheng family had wedding characters posted inside and outside the door, there was no sign of joy.
It's more like a perfunctory process to give an explanation to the outside world.
Yang Wenyuan and Hua Lan naturally came to the Sheng family today to participate in the daughter's wedding ceremony.
Yang Minghuan was not taken with him and was left in the mansion under the care of Madam Chen.
Hualan now knows about the ugly things Molan has done.
Thinking that he had contributed a lot to the Sheng family and had never treated Molan inappropriately because of Lin Qinshuang, Molan now disregarded her own reputation and did such a shameless thing!
Because of this, Hualan got very angry in Sheng's family, and went straight to the ancestral hall to scold Molan.
After all, although she has already married, the reputation of the Sheng family's daughters is closely related to her, and as the eldest daughter and the legitimate daughter, she is the first to bear the brunt of it.
"Maybe you think you're living a good life, so..."
In short, Hualan no longer plans to treat Molan as her own sister from now on, but only as a sister in name only.
After learning from her mother Wang Ruofu that it was Madam Chen who told her the story, Hualan felt so much like killing Molan.
Ever since returning home from the Sheng family, his attitude towards Madam Chen immediately became cautious.
Mrs. Chen is so smart.
At a glance, one could tell that Hualan probably already knew about Molan's affairs.
His current attitude is so cautious, perhaps because he is worried that he will be blamed for this.
So that day, Mrs. Chen had a serious and heartfelt chat with Hualan.
Afterwards, the relationship between the uncle and niece returned to normal.
But his impression of the adulterous couple Molan and Liang Han still remains unchanged.
For this reason, on the day of Molan's wedding, Hualan did not put on a good face as an older sister, but had the same forced smile as her mother Wang Ruofu.
At the gate of Sheng Mansion.
Liang's second son dismounted from the wedding procession and later arrived at the gate of Sheng's house.
Yang Wenyuan, Changbai, Changfeng and others were already standing on the steps at the door.
According to the customary procedures of marriage, at this time Yang Wenyuan should have asked the Liang family to write a poem to welcome the bride, or to ask him difficult questions.
But it was obvious that the people on the stage were in no mood or interest.
Only Chang Feng, after all, Molan was his biological sister, so in order to avoid a dull moment, he came up with a "difficult problem" to get Liang Erlang to drink a few glasses.
After a few drinks, Liang Erlang was able to get started smoothly.
The journey was smooth.
It seemed as if the entire Sheng family couldn't wait for him to take Molan away quickly.
main hall.
Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu sat at the top.
They all sat upright with calm expressions.
Although Lin Qinshuang was a concubine and should not have appeared in such occasions, she was Molan's biological mother after all, so she was allowed to sit aside at this moment, but she could not say or do anything.
The people to be married to had already arrived, so Molan, dressed in her wedding dress, was led out from the back house by the maid and came to Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu to pay her final farewell.
"Today my daughter is getting married and bidding farewell to her parents. I wish you and your mother good health and a long life."
Wang Ruofu stared at the empty corridor outside, not even glancing at Molan's pitiful expression. She replied in a cold and calm tone:
"Now that you are married, you belong to another family. You will be filial to your parents-in-law and considerate to your husband. Everything is up to you."
After saying that, Wang Ruofu curled her lips and glanced at Mama Liu next to her reluctantly. After Mama Liu came up, Wang Ruofu took out a jade bracelet from the pocket of her long sleeves and handed it to Mama Liu to put on Molan's hand - this was the dowry she bought for Molan as the eldest lady of the Sheng family.
If there weren't rules in place, she wouldn't even want to give him the jade bracelet.
"All right."
After completing the established procedures, Wang Ruofu did not say anything more and spoke directly:
"Don't waste time, get out now!"
Molan let Mother Liu put the bracelet on her hand, and then held the wedding fan presented to her by the maid in her hand, but she did not hear any words of comfort or blessing from Sheng Hong throughout the whole process.
She looked at Sheng Hong unwillingly, but found that Sheng Hong didn't even glance at her.
She turned her head and looked at her mother Lin Qinshuang again, and was facing Lin Qinshuang's face that was crying with joy.
After looking at each other, Molan turned around and walked out.
Seeing this, Lin Qinshuang also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Liu's mother:
"Young lady, it is the mistress and the master's job to escort the girl out, so you should stay in the backyard."
Lin Qinshuang naturally did not respond and even cried out loud for this. She only hoped that Sheng Hong could say a word for her so that she could follow him out the door.
However, at this juncture, Sheng Hong, whom she relied on, remained silent, not saying a word, and never even looked back at her.
Lin Qinshuang's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't have time to think about it at the moment. She could only lean against the door and watch her daughter get married.
But he was stopped by Liu's mother.
"Young lady, go back to your room." Mother Liu said with a firm look on her face.
In the courtyard, Molan heard the sound of Lin Qinshuang being brought back to the back house. She immediately turned around, but she no longer saw her mother's voice.
Then she said to Sheng Hong unwillingly:
"Father, Mo'er is about to get married, are you still unwilling to say a word to your daughter?"
Sheng Hong's eyes did not move:
"What the lady said is very right. From today on, you belong to another family. There is nothing to say."
Molan looked at Sheng Hong deeply, tears in her eyes and said:
"Father has resentment towards Mo'er, Mo'er understands it, but I hope father knows that I am always grateful for your kindness in raising me."
"It's quite unnecessary."
Sheng Hong first smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said in a calm tone:
"I worked so hard to give birth to you, but I didn't expect you to end up like this. Since you insist on taking this risk, I'll grant your wish. Whether you enjoy happiness or suffer in the future, it's all your own fate. You don't need to come back and tell others about it."
"Isn't this the path you chose? Why are you crying now?"
Seeing Sheng Hong like this, Molan knew that she would not be able to get any words of blessing from him.
That's right. After all, in order to marry Liang Han, she had already torn her relationship with the Sheng family and dragged the entire Sheng family into embarrassment by planning her marriage. Now there is nothing to regret.
Molan also strengthened her original determination in her heart - she only sought wealth and glory, not a trace of true love.
"Father is right, my daughter will never regret it!"
After Molan finished speaking, she didn't pause for a moment and went out fanning herself.
Seeing Molan leaving, Wang Ruofu turned to Sheng Hong beside her and said:
"Sir, there are many guests outside. We still have to go and entertain them."
"Thank you, madam." Sheng Hong replied.
After saying this, the couple curled their lips together, forced a smile on their faces, and then walked out.
The sun sets in the west.
The guests all left.
The noisy and bustling sounds gradually disappeared in the mansion.
It was as if he had taken off all the heavy things on his body. The whole Sheng Mansion suddenly became quiet. Linqi Pavilion.
Lin Qinshuang paced back and forth in her room.
She began to realize that something was wrong.
Since Molan got married, she had been kept under the care of servants in Linqi Pavilion. She thought that such a long period of confinement would be enough to make Sheng Hong calm down, and at most he would just scold her.
After all, when she had an affair with Sheng Hong in the past, didn’t it not cause much trouble in the end?
At this time, the sun was setting and the orange light and shadows filtered through the window paper and fell into the bedroom. The surroundings were quiet, with occasional breeze passing through the corridor, making people feel comfortable and peaceful.
But at this moment, the gradually quiet Sheng family did not make Lin Qinshuang feel as relaxed and comfortable as usual. Instead, it made her feel more and more uneasy.
She was somewhat afraid to face such silence.
She would rather someone come and have an argument with her right now so that she can feel the vitality of a living person rather than the heavy silence like stagnant water.
Yes, it's time to have a fight!
Lin Qinshuang thought to herself:
"Where is the eldest girl? Didn't she go back to the Sheng family today? Why didn't she come to my room and give me a good scolding like she did a few days ago when I got the news?"
When she thought of this, the chaotic thoughts in Lin Qinshuang's mind immediately came flooding in.
"Yes, then why didn't Hualan come?"
'Didn't she say a few days ago that she had taught her daughter badly? Now that she has given birth to a son, why doesn't she come to me to discuss this matter? "
Thinking of this, Lin Qinshuang couldn't help but look outside a few times, and pushed the door hard, but there was no sound coming out again, not even a scolding or complaint.
"It seems that he dares not come!"
After shouting outside the house for a while, Lin Qinshuang suddenly gritted her teeth and said hatefully in her heart:
'Same high-sounding shrew!
A few days ago, I dared to say to myself, how many books have you read to dare to say that the world is like this? How many people have you met to dare to say that men and women are all like this? '
joke!
The number of people I, Lin Qinshuang, have met over the years is no more than that of a young girl like Sheng Hualan!
When I was in Yangzhou, I managed the Sheng family inside and outside by myself!
At that time she was still embroidering in her own room!
Lin Qinshuang vented her anger for a while, then put aside Hua Lan, the "imaginary enemy", and turned her thoughts to Sheng Hong (as for Wang Ruofu, she didn't think highly of her at all).
"Honglang is still locking himself in his room. Is he still angry?"
Lin Qinshuang pondered in her mind, her heart beating fast, and then she thought of some serious consequences, and immediately muttered in a low voice:
"No, no, Honglang cares about me the most. He will be angry for a while at most, but he will calm down after a few days and will have to stay the night at my place."
But after saying this, Lin Qinshuang felt somewhat insecure, so she immediately added in a low voice:
"Not really, not really. I am the mother-in-law of the Earl's Mansion. The Sheng family dare not humiliate me."
At this moment, a noise suddenly came from outside the house.
While it scared Lin Qinshuang, it also made her feel a little relieved - at least the surroundings were not so dead silent.
Then, she saw that the person who came in was Sheng Hong's long-time follower, Dong Rong, which made Lin Qinshuang feel at ease.
Ever since she entered the Sheng family, she has been trying to get along well with Dong Rong, and even asked Xue Niang to give him a lot of good things.
He is also grateful and has done so many things for me over the years.
He is already half one of our own.
but……
Lin Qinshuang suddenly frowned slightly.
Where has Xue Niang gone these days?
Why haven't I seen any trace of her?
Could it be that the people in his courtyard are still being guarded by Wang Ruofu and he is not allowed to see them?
Sheng family firewood room.
Xue Niang, with disheveled hair and a disheveled face, had her hands tied and her mouth covered with a cloth. She was shouting "Woo Woo~" to Lu Zhong and Yun Zai beside her. Two strong servants were guarding outside the woodshed.
"But it's not a big deal..."
The thought about Xue Niang flashed through Lin Qinshuang's mind, and then she smiled and shouted to Dong Rong who came in:
"Dongri, but did Honglang ask you to let me out?"
"I'll just say it!"
Lin Qinshuang pretended to walk out while muttering:
"This was all Wang Ruofu's behind-the-scenes instigation. Now Honglang finally sees the truth!"
"Little girl..."
As a result, before she stepped out of the door, she saw two middle-aged women suddenly walk out from behind Dong Rong, grab her hands and drag her out.
Lin Qinshuang wanted to resist, but her strength was no match for the maids who had been working there all year round, so her efforts were of no use and she was dragged out by the two maids.
"Dong Rong, what are you doing?"
"Someone, help!"
He shouted loudly all the way, but no one responded, and he was just dragged all the way to the Sheng family ancestral hall.
Everything in the ancestral hall was very unfamiliar to Lin Qinshuang.
Only the kneeling figure in front looked extremely familiar to Lin Qinshuang.
"Hiroro..."
Lin Qinshuang was pleasantly surprised, but before she could open her mouth, she heard a loud shout from the front:
"Hit me!"
"Yes!"
Sheng Hong cried silently in front with a sad face.
Lin Qinshuang begged for mercy hoarsely, which gradually turned into cursing.
Sheng Hong felt heartbroken when he heard this, but he didn't want to stop.
At this moment, Sheng Hong felt that the holes that had been eaten away in his heart over the years were like sifting chaff, with some things falling out every time the board fell.
He hates!
He had given so much for Lin Qinshuang. When she was young and not yet fully grown, he insisted on taking Lin Qinshuang home, giving her a status, and allowing her to have and raise her own children.
Regardless of his reputation of favoring his concubine over his wife, he allowed her to climb over the mistress's head and manage the household affairs.
Favor her and protect her.
Even though he knew she was wrong, he kept lowering his bottom line for her, forgiving and tolerant her, deceiving himself countless times and using all kinds of excuses to cover up the truth.
The results of it?
What was the result?
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!
He also taught Mo'er, whom he loved so much, to become what he is now!
Not only are you unworthy yourself, but you also bring trouble to your children!
Tears as big as beans rolled down Sheng Hong's slightly wrinkled face. Soon, the cries for mercy behind him gradually faded away.
Sheng Hong lowered his head, looked back in panic, and then hurriedly moved on his knees to Lin Qinshuang.
"Master, Miss Lin..."
"Send her to the farm outside." Sheng Hong cried and hugged Lin Qinshuang's body.
"Yes!"
In the setting sun, Lin Qinshuang was taken out by servants.
The orange-red color in the room became deeper.
