The mental state is beautiful

Gu Tingye did not find Zhu Manniang, but met Sheng Minglan, and the two told each other about their situations.

Gu Tingye had the idea of ​​marrying Sheng Minglan. In his opinion, although Sheng Minglan was a concubine's daughter, the future of other members of the Sheng family was promising, and marrying Sheng Minglan could help them.

When Sheng Minglan learned the news of Mrs. Sheng's death from Gu Tingye, she was overwhelmed with emotions. For some reason, she wanted to cry but couldn't.

Minglan knew that once the news of her disappearance for a few days spread, even if she was still innocent, she would no longer have a good reputation.

Princess Pingning is powerful and must have known about her situation. In addition, Qi Heng is already engaged, and Minglan does not want to be a concubine, so marrying Gu Tingye is indeed her best choice now.

With Gu Tingye's testimony, his reputation was preserved and he would not be abandoned by the Sheng family. This was the best outcome.

Princess Yan knew that this was the last bit of luck that attracted them to each other. Good man, it's already like this, it's really hard to break up the official match!

Rong Jie'er has long known the importance of a woman's reputation. Although her biological mother is not a good person, she does not have a good impression of Minglan either.

Moreover, Sister Rong is worried that after her father is with Minglan, he will abandon Zhu Manniang.

The last bit of luck of Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan disappeared. They were no longer a threat. Princess Yan also wanted to see how far they could go.

Will Sheng Minglan, who can hardly protect herself, plot against Molan to avenge her biological mother, Wei Xiaoniang?

It's really interesting. He wanted to take revenge on Lin Qinshuang, but he didn't dare to attack Sheng Changfeng. Instead, he wanted to destroy Molan. He was just assessing the situation and picking the weak.

Minglan knew that Sheng Hong would not get to the bottom of the matter for the sake of a daughter who had lost her reputation, but he would do so for the sake of his son, who was the future of the family.

Princess Yan was quite curious. If Minglan no longer plotted revenge, would Molan still be able to resist the temptation? And who would she marry?

Facts have proved that Minglan will never forget the death of Wei Xiaoniang.

She had just used Gu Tingye to prove her innocence, and after getting engaged to Gu Tingye, she wanted to seize the opportunity to plot against Molan.

At the same time, Minglan's sister's marriage has been decided, so Molan's marriage is naturally on the agenda. Sheng Hong still wants to marry Molan to Wen Yanjing, just like in the original plot.

Minglan was worried that Molan's marriage would be settled and her plan would fail, so she secretly handed an anonymous note to Wen Yanjing.

If he had the chance to marry the legitimate daughter Rulan, Wen Yanjing would certainly not choose Molan. After all, Rulan's elder brother Changbai was a promising man, her elder sister Hualan married into a wealthy family, and her mother Wang's family was one of the best among the civil officials.

One of Princess Yan's missions is to take revenge on Minglan, so naturally she must live with the regret of not being able to avenge her biological mother for the rest of her life!

Evidence that Minglan had induced Wen Yanjing to seduce Rulan soon appeared on the desks of Sheng Hong, Madam Wang, and Changbai.

The three of them couldn't believe it, but in order to ensure that Rulan was not tricked, they decided to observe secretly first. Sure enough, they saw Wen Yanjing sneaking around pretending to be lost and flirting with Rulan.

The lady could no longer stand it and rushed out to beat and scold the man and drive him away.

Before Rulan had even fallen in love with the man, she was told that today's encounter was all a plot by the other party, and she was very angry.

Sheng Hong was extremely disappointed with Wen Yanjing. After driving him away, he once again thought about finding a family for Molan that he could be assured of.

Minglan was caught red-handed, but she was already engaged and could not be dealt with at will, so Sheng Hong put her under house arrest.

Minglan doesn't care about it. Dealing with Rulan is just a casual move for her. If Rulan falls in love with Wen Yanjing, it is her own fault. Anyway, Minglan's goal is to delay Molan's engagement.

Minglan seemed to have forgotten that she had once fallen in love with Qi Heng. Compared to Ruolan who fell in love with Wen Yanjing, who was scheming and trying to please others, Minglan and Qi Heng were in love, but no one was plotting against her.

Minglan has changed beyond all recognition at this time. She has just heard the news that Qi Heng and Jiacheng County Princess are getting married. She is eager to take revenge on Molan and is ready to leave this sad place after she succeeds.

After hearing about Wen Yanjing's behavior, Lin Qinshuang was so angry that she started to curse. Just because she looked down on Wen Yanjing didn't mean that Wen Yanjing could look down on Molan. Wen Yanjing was in big trouble after offending Lin Qinshuang, a daughter slave.

Lin Qinshuang ordered people to target Wen Yanjing who left Sheng Mansion. Sheng Hong knew everything about this and even helped him secretly.

Sheng Hong loves Lin Qinshuang, not only because of the love trap she deliberately set, but also because of Lin Qinshuang's love for her children.

Whenever he saw Lin Qinshuang worrying about Molan, Sheng Hong felt as if he had returned to his childhood when he depended on his biological mother. His biological mother also planned for him in the same way.

Back then, Lin Qinshuang deliberately wanted Old Lady Sheng to support Molan. Sheng Hong knew her plan, but he was willing to help her.

Because Sheng Hong knew this feeling too well. In the past, in order to give him a good future, his own mother endured the heartache and made all kinds of plans to send him to be raised by his stepmother, Old Madam Sheng.

Lin Qinshuang's singing, reciting, acting and fighting were not actually very good, but Sheng Hong often thought of how his biological mother had fought for his future and interests in the same way. When he looked at Lin Qinshuang, it was as if his childhood self was protected by his mother again.

From the day her biological mother died, Sheng Hong always remembered that everything she had was exchanged for her biological mother's life. This was the deal between her and Old Lady Sheng.

Old lady Sheng protected Sheng Hong as he grew up, and Sheng Hong took care of Old lady Sheng in her old age.

When Sheng Hong grew stronger, the resentment towards Old Madam Sheng that he had hidden in his heart for many years could no longer be suppressed, but the kindness that Old Madam Sheng showed him was also real.

Sheng Hong was extremely conflicted. He couldn't face his true heart, and he didn't want to hide and suppress his feelings like he did before.

So Sheng Hong gave Old Madam Sheng a stable life and the highest position in the mansion, but he could not get close to Old Madam Sheng, he could only distance himself from her.

Sometimes, you can achieve the desired results without having to do anything yourself.

In the Sheng Mansion, the attitude of Sheng Hong, the current head of the family, represents the attitude of the servants in the mansion. Sheng Hong's alienation means that the eldest lady and other servants will not have much respect for Old Madam Sheng.

Old Madam Sheng figured out Sheng Hong's heart knot and knew that she would never be able to resolve it in her lifetime, so she consciously retired to Shou'an Hall and rarely asked about the affairs of the mansion.

However, as she grew older, Mrs. Sheng became afraid. She was afraid of being alone in her old age and living an endless lonely life.

Therefore, she wanted to raise a child, preferably a child without a mother, and preferably one who could be raised by her side from a young age so that she could raise the child well.

This is also the reason why Old Lady Sheng and Wei Xiaoniang reached a consensus. Not only could they get a sensible granddaughter through Wei Xiaoniang's death, but they could also use it to defeat Lin Qinshuang.

The reason why Lin Qinshuang did not receive any punishment for this was certainly not just because Sheng Hong doted on her as everyone thought, although even Lin Qinshuang herself thought so.

In fact, it was all because Sheng Hong saw through Old Madam Sheng’s methods.

Sheng Hong seemed to see the transaction between Old Lady Sheng and his biological mother. Old Lady Sheng used the same method to obtain another child, and made the child grateful to her.

Sheng Hong was exhausted. Why did Sheng Hong not prefer Minglan even though Minglan was more like his past experience?

Of course it was because seeing Minglan was like seeing myself walking on the pool of my biological mother's blood towards Old Madam Sheng, towards resources and shelter.

He felt that Minglan was really stupid for not being able to see through Old Madam Sheng's true face and for still looking at the person who actually killed her mother with such admiration.

She also felt that compared to Minglan, she knew why her biological mother died, but she was still so respectful to Madam Sheng for so many years in order to have a better development, and she despised herself, and therefore hated Minglan, which made her look even more hypocritical.

Every time this happened, Sheng Hong would turn around and look at Molan, who was being cared for by Lin Qinshuang and himself, and looked like a peacock, before he could smile.

This was the childhood he wanted, with the love and care of his father and biological mother, and the capital to be brighter and prouder than a legitimate daughter.

These days, Molan has become much more stable.

The experiences of Grandmother Sheng when she was young and the circumstances of her biological mother Lin Qinshuang when she was young made Molan think a lot about what kind of life she should choose and what kind of wife she should be.

Yes, Molan had never thought of becoming a concubine. Lin Qinshuang always felt guilty because Changfeng and Molan were born inferior because of her. She was also proud that her choice allowed her children to be born without worries about food and clothing. Lin Qinshuang had no choice. Among the few options, she chose material security.

Such a contradictory and helpless choice had a great impact on Molan. She once believed that material things were everything, but her biological mother had material things and her husband's true love but did not have a decent status, while Grandmother Sheng had material things and a status but still lived a miserable life.

Only the eldest wife, who has material wealth, promising children and a capable family, although she cannot get her husband's true love, has his respect and the ability to manage the household.

Molan thought for a long time and decided to put her hopes on herself from now on, just like the eldest lady. Although the eldest lady was angry because her father favored the youngest lady, she would vent her anger and it never really affected her life.

Moreover, the wife never regards her husband as the most important person. She and her children are as important as her husband. This is what people often say, "Great wisdom appears foolish" and "Fools have good fortunes"!

Now that your children are all successful, you will surely be able to enjoy a carefree and relaxed old age.

Molan thought that as long as she listened to her father, given his love for her, the family she married into would not be too bad, and her father would also give her a portion of the dowry.

Even if she is not loved by her husband at that time, at least she has the dowry and can manage it well, so her life will not be too bad.

After getting married, you should naturally put your own feelings first, but you don't have to fall out with your husband unless it's absolutely necessary.

Now that she has her own child, she will teach him carefully to avoid being like her grandmother who had no children to support her in her old age. She also doesn't want to be like her mother who allowed her brother Changfeng to do whatever he wants. Now she has even less respect and love for her.

Molan thought about it for a long time, but her shallow life in the first ten years could not give her more experience.

After thinking about it, she, a young girl who was about to come of age, could not think of any profound reasoning.

From now on, we can only take one step at a time. Minglan's disappearance and the attitude and tension of everyone in the family also made Molan realize the importance of a girl's reputation. She will not give it all up like her mother did before.

Last time, Molan heard with her own ears that her father and the eldest lady were discussing that if Minglan really lost her reputation, she should commit suicide in order to preserve the reputation of the entire Sheng family.

At that time, Molan was so scared that her legs went weak. It was the first time she knew that her father could be so cruel. The lady, who was always soft-hearted, did not have any objection but agreed very much.

That’s right, grandma is dead, the only person who could have protected Minglan is dead.

Molan thought to herself, if such a day really came, the only one who would protect her would probably be her mother!

Molan made up her mind that she would not let herself fall into such a situation, and she must let her mother enjoy her old age.

To the family, these girls are just pawns that can be discarded at any time.

Even with her father's love, Molan is still a pawn in a marriage alliance. Molan decides to be an obedient daughter first, and then strive for the right to speak step by step after getting married.

As long as nothing happens to me, my mother will be able to stay stable, and as long as she doesn't lose her father's favoritism, nothing will happen to their Linqi Pavilion.

Lin Qinshuang was also frightened by Sheng Hong's previous plan to deal with Sheng Minglan's possible loss of chastity. Fortunately, she had not yet instigated Molan to cause a big disaster.

Lin Qinshuang decided to behave herself from now on and wait and see how Sheng Hong arranged Molan's marriage before making any plans.

Now Sheng Hong has given up the idea of ​​finding a husband for Molan from among his disciples. He is very worried. Molan is a concubine's daughter, and no matter how much he dotes on her, she will still be a head shorter when it comes to marriage.

On the other hand, Sheng Minglan, who was under house arrest, still did not give up. She did not know about the change of mind of Lin Qinshuang and her daughter. She believed that as long as there was enough temptation, Lin Qinshuang would definitely let Molan take the risk.
