Chapter 76 Breaking into the Marquis' Mansion in the Dark

Sheng Hualan said with tears in her eyes.

"Daddy, if it's just me, then no matter what injustice I've suffered, I'll just bear it and bear it."

"But, but Sister Zhuang is still at the Yuan family."

"If she stays alone at the Yuan family, I don't know how those people will bully her."

"Dad, can you think of a way to get Sister Zhuang out of the Yuan family?"

Hearing this, Sheng Hong hesitated.

If you ask him whether he has a solution, of course he does.

Previously, because Zhang Guifen had a one-sided love for Jia Jue and suffered from lovesickness, the Duke of England had no choice but to meet with Sheng Hong in person to discuss the matter of Zhang Guifen and Sheng Minglan marrying into the Marquis' Mansion together.

In order to get Sheng Hong to agree, Duke Ying promised the Sheng family that the British government owed the Sheng family a favor.

The favor of the Duke of England is so precious. Not to mention the small Yuan family, even the princes and dukes have to give face to the Duke of England.

However, in Sheng Hong's view, this favor is one of the most important assets of the Sheng family and will not be used for trivial matters.

When Sheng Changbai was summoned by the three judicial officials before, Sheng Hong thought about observing the situation first and did not go directly to the Duke of England for help.

Although Sheng Hong dotes on his daughter Sheng Hualan, he is reluctant to use this favor for Sheng Hualan.

This is probably a necessary quality for a family leader. Family affection cannot be placed above family interests.

Of course, it can also be said that Sheng Hong is such a heartless person.

How Sheng Hong had favored Linqi Pavilion before.

However, Lin Xiaoniang would never have thought until her death that Sheng Hong would be so decisive in the face of family interests, and would simply set Lin Qige on fire. The three people in Lin Qige and seven or eight maids all died in the fire.

After a slight hesitation, Sheng Hong looked at Sheng Hualan and said.

"Hua'er, even if we have cut ties with the Yuan family, Sister Zhuang is still a daughter of the Yuan family."

"If nothing had happened to your sixth sister's family in the past, then everything would be easy to deal with."

"But right now, the Marquis' Mansion is too busy to take care of itself. Even if I were to negotiate with the Yuan family, I would only bring shame upon myself."

"There's no way the Yuan family would give Sister Zhuang to us."

"Hua'er, forget about the Yuan family's affairs."

"These days, the palace is in turmoil."

"Well, once the family is settled, Daddy will definitely find a suitable family for you, okay?"

After hearing this, Sheng Hualan felt extremely desperate. She sat on the ground helplessly, sobbing and crying uncontrollably.

Wang Ruofu, who was standing by, couldn't help but shed tears upon seeing this, but she also knew that at this moment, the family really didn't have the energy to take care of the Yuan family's affairs.

First of all, the case of Sheng Changbai being involved in the imperial examination cheating case has not yet been resolved. Although Jia Jue rescued him from the Ministry of Justice prison, this does not mean that the case is over.

It is foreseeable that there will be more turbulence in the future.

Besides, the son-in-law, Marquis Guanjun, has taken a huge risk to save people this time. If something goes wrong in the Marquis's mansion, the Sheng family will definitely not have a good life.

In desperation, Wang Ruofu had to ask the maid to help Sheng Hualan back to the bedroom.

Late at night, in the bedroom at the back hall of the Marquis of Guanjun's mansion, just when Jia Jue and his two wives were resting, there was a knock on the door from a maid.

"My Lord, my Lord, a guest is here to visit."

After hearing the maid's voice, Jia Jue and the other two woke up.

Sheng Minglan and Zhang Guifen instantly woke up from their confusion and looked at Jia Jue nervously.

"Husband, it's so late, has something happened?"

Jia Jue said after giving each of the two ladies a light kiss.

"Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I'll be there for you."

"You two go to sleep, I'll go check on you."

Sheng Minglan and Zhang Guifen nodded after hearing this, but they could not hide their worries.

After all, it is a turbulent time. If someone comes to visit so late at night, something must have happened.

However, seeing their husband Jia Jue's calm and composed look, the two women didn't say anything more.

At this time, the two women didn't understand why their husbands didn't seem nervous at all. No matter how big the problem was, they acted as if nothing had happened.

This made the two women really confused.

If Jia Jue knew the two ladies' doubts, he would definitely smile.

Are you kidding? Even if someone has tens of thousands of loyal imperial guards in the capital and 60,000 loyal cavalry corps on the border, he will not panic.

This is a typical example of being able to plan for the whole world when advancing and to establish one's own territory when retreating.

The intrigues in the imperial court were nothing to mention in the midst of the fierce battles in the army.

If one day these schemes touch Jia Jue's bottom line, in that instant, Jia Jue will turn the God City into a purgatory on earth and wipe out all those monsters and demons without leaving a single one behind.

But now everything is within Jia Jue's expectations, so Jia Jue is still prepared to continue to develop steadily.

After briefly comforting the two ladies, Jia Jue changed his clothes and went to the side hall.

When he saw who was coming into the side hall, Jia Jue was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Sheng Hualan with tears in her eyes with some surprise and said.

"Big sister, why, why is it you?"

Sheng Hualan hesitated for a moment and then looked at Jia Jue and said.

"My Lord, could you please dismiss your attendants? I have something I want to discuss with you."

Jia Jue nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said.

"You all go down."

"The slaves obey."

After all the maids left, Sheng Hualan hesitated for a moment, as if she had made a great decision, and then took off her clothes.

Immediately afterwards, a breathtakingly beautiful scene appeared before Jia Jue's eyes.

Although he had already witnessed the wealth of his aunt once, Jia Jue was still amazed when he relived the glory of the past.

After looking away with difficulty, Jia Jue said.

"Big sister, what are you doing?"

Sheng Hualan no longer cared about her face at this time, and rushed directly into Jia Jue's arms and said.

"My Lord, it's not that I'm disrespectful, but I'm truly desperate. I hope you can help me out. Hualan will be grateful for your kindness for the rest of her life."

After hesitating for a moment, Jia Jue held Sheng Hualan's shoulders and pushed her out a little, then picked up Sheng Hualan's clothes and put them on her and said.

"Big sister, if there is anything, let's discuss it."

"You really don't have to do this."

"Tell me first what happened."

After hearing this, Sheng Hualan's eyes turned red, and she told Jia Jue everything about the Yuan family's divorce.

Sheng Hualan said with a sob.

"My Lord, I really have no other choice."

"The only one who can help me is the Marquis."

"I know the Marquis is in trouble right now. I wouldn't have the nerve to bother you unless I had to."

"Please, Lord, save my poor Zhuang'er."

"If she stays in the Yuan family, I'm afraid she will die soon. The Yuan family will never treat her well." "If the Marquis can help me rescue Zhuang'er, Hualan is willing to be your slave and servant for the rest of her life."

As Sheng Hualan spoke, she knelt in front of Jia Jue again.

Looking at his aunt with tears in her eyes, Jia Jue couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Women are weak, but they are strong when they become mothers.

In order to rescue her daughter, Sheng Hualan had to be so determined that she came to the Marquis' Mansion late at night and offered herself to him.

Jia Jue said after helping Sheng Hualan up.

"Big sister, I know everything. Don't worry, it's just a small Yuan family. We can deal with him."

"I want to see if he dares to rebel against the heaven."

"I just got into trouble, and he did this right after. It's clearly like adding insult to injury."

After hearing Jia Jue's agreement, Sheng Hualan couldn't help but cry with joy, and was also deeply attracted by Jia Jue's courage.

At this time, Sheng Hualan looked at Jia Jue with a complicated look.

Both of them got married, but she married an irresponsible man, while her sixth sister married a peerless man like Guanjun Hou. It's really like they have different fates and the same umbrella with different handles.

Although the matter of my daughter Zhuang Jie'er has been settled, as the saying goes, there is always trouble around a widow.

Although Sheng Hualan is not a widow, after what happened in the Yuan family, Sheng Hualan's situation in the future will be even more difficult than that of a widow.

Sheng Hualan naturally also has to plan for her future.

Sheng Hualan knew in her heart that although her father Sheng Hong's words were nice, Sheng Hualan knew that a girl who is married is like water spilled.

The Sheng family may not be where I will live forever.

If I want to rely on my parents' family, it's okay for small things, but for big things like life and property, my parents' family is unreliable.

That's why Sheng Hualan came to the Marquis's mansion in the middle of the night and offered herself to him without regard for her dignity as a woman.

Sheng Hualan thought clearly that she must find a strong backer for herself and her daughter.

And my brother-in-law, Guanjun Hou, is the best choice.

Ever since her brother-in-law teased her last time, Sheng Hualan realized that her brother-in-law definitely had some feelings for her.

In this case, becoming a secret lover to my brother-in-law will naturally ensure a stable life for my mother and daughter in the future.

Sheng Hualan didn't have any unreasonable expectations. She just wanted her brother-in-law to take care of her so that she wouldn't be left alone and helpless if she encountered any problems in the future.

Therefore, after Jia Jue promised to help her rescue her daughter, Sheng Hualan looked at Jia Jue shyly and said.

"My Lord, last time you asked me if I had thought about my future plans."

"Now I've thought it through."

"The Yuan family is ruthless and ungrateful. I will no longer have any connection with the Yuan family until Sister Zhuang is rescued by the Marquis."

"I don't want to marry again in this life. I just want to spend the rest of my life with my daughter."

"If, if the Marquis does not despise Hua Lan's humble appearance, I hope, I hope that the Marquis will be able to show more care for me in the future."

After listening to the words of his charming aunt, Jia Jue looked at Sheng Hualan and spoke gently.

"Big sister, I told you that even if we didn't have this relationship, I wouldn't ignore you."

Sheng Hualan said with some resentment after hearing this.

"The Marquis despises Hualan because she was once married, so he doesn't want to get close to me."

Jia Jue looked at the pitiful Sheng Hualan, and struggled for a moment between being a beast and being worse than a beast.

However, the Prime Minister's will soon prevailed. Jia Jue gently held Sheng Hualan's hand and said.

"What are you talking about, big sister? Big sister is so gentle and charming, I like her so much that I can't express it."

"Just, just..."

Sheng Hualan said immediately.

"Don't worry, my Lord. I am not someone who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, or who doesn't know the limits. These things are known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. No one else will know about them."

After hearing this, Jia Jue nodded slightly, then smiled and said.

"Big sister is so considerate. If I keep rejecting you, I will be unsatisfactory."

"It's getting late today, so please don't rush back and forth, Big Sister. I'll arrange for someone to prepare a guest room for you later."

"It's not convenient for me to show up in public during this period. Tomorrow, I will send my personal soldiers to accompany Big Sister to the Zhongqin Marquis's residence and directly take Sister Zhuang back."

"Big sister, don't worry about anything else. The Marquis' Mansion is indeed in trouble this time, but it won't cause any serious damage. Your Majesty is wise and can naturally distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and he won't punish me severely."

"Not only does Sister Zhuang need to be taken back, but the Yuan family must also return every penny of Eldest Sister's dowry."

"Besides, divorcing my wife is wishful thinking. The only option is amicable divorce."

"If they dare to have any objections, I have my own ways to deal with them."

It has to be said that Jia Jue's words really helped Sheng Hualan regain her dignity.

Originally, Sheng Hualan thought that just getting her daughter back would be enough, but she didn't expect that she could get her dowry back as well, and the divorce turned into a divorce.

In this way, Sheng Hualan's reputation will naturally improve a lot, which will also be of great benefit to her daughter Zhuang Jie'er's future marriage.

The domineering attitude displayed by Jia Jue deeply conquered Sheng Hualan.

Sheng Hualan couldn't help but look at Jia Jue affectionately, and then kissed Jia Jue involuntarily.

Then Sheng Hualan's face turned red with shame, just like a girl in the boudoir.

I have to say that at this moment Sheng Hualan really has the charm of a young girl and a young woman, she is truly the best.

After Jia Jue simply comforted Sheng Hualan with a few words, Sheng Hualan tidied up her messy clothes. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, Jia Jue arranged for the maid to settle Sheng Hualan in the guest room.

After everything was ready, Jia Jue returned to his bedroom.

At this time, Sheng Minglan and Zhang Guifen were both looking forward to waiting for Jia Jue.

When they saw Jia Jue, they asked at the same time.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Jia Jue did not hide anything and directly told the two ladies that Sheng Hualan came to ask for help.

Of course, Jia Jue concealed some of the forbidden content.

After hearing what Jia Jue said, Zhang Guifen was immediately filled with indignation.

"Bah! What kind of people are they, the Zhongqin Marquis' Mansion?"

"Something just happened in our mansion, and they dared to do this."

"Minglan, your elder sister must have suffered a lot in the Yuan family before."

Sheng Minglan nodded and said angrily.

"Who says it's not true? The Yuan family used to force my eldest sister to use her dowry to supplement the Yuan family's household expenses."

"That would be fine, but they also punished my elder sister to stand in line."

"It was only after my husband and I got engaged that the situation began to improve."

"But they shamelessly forced my elder sister to use their connections to help Uncle Zhongqin and the eldest son of the Yuan family advance to a higher level."

"My elder sister didn't want to cause trouble for the family, so they treated her badly."

"This time it's even more cruel. As soon as the incident happened in the Marquis' Mansion, they divorced my wife on the same day. This is really too much."
