Chapter 81: Love is easy to fade away

Sheng Hong hugged Chen Lan, and all his worries and anxieties seemed to disappear at this moment, and his heart was filled with tranquility.

Although Chen Lan is small, she is very sensitive to other people's emotions. "Although this person who calls himself daddy in front of her shows that he likes her very much, she always feels that there is something missing in this love."

"And the mother who gave birth to her, although she looks silly and easy to deceive, but every time she looks at me, I can feel warm. Just like when I was still in her belly, full of warmth and security."

Thinking of this, Chen Lan didn't intend to let herself down, and directly stretched out her hands towards Wang Ruofu, shouting "Ah, ah".

Although Sheng Hong wanted to hold this little blessing from heaven for a while longer, he could cultivate a good father-daughter relationship with her and absorb more of her spirit and blessings.

However, his daughter really didn't want to stay in his arms. After coaxing her for a long time without success, he had to reluctantly hand Fubao to his wife.

I thought the previous mistakes would soon be forgotten by everyone, but starting from the day the full moon ceremony ended, the entire Sheng Mansion was "isolated" for nearly two months.

At the beginning, although Sheng Hong and Old Lady Sheng didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts, they could still keep up a calm face. However, as time went by, their faces became more and more stiff, and they became more and more cold towards Wei Ruixuan's two sisters.

What's also very strange is that as the elder, Mrs. Sheng was the one who intentionally distanced herself from the two children at the beginning, and she didn't care much about their affairs.

But now that trouble had occurred in her mansion, she did not blame Sheng Hong, the main culprit, but instead blamed the two newborn girls.

Sheng Hong was even more hypocritical. At first, he thought Chen Lan was a lucky star sent from heaven and showed great attention to her, even ignoring his second daughter for a while.

But now, Sheng Hong himself is not only being ostracized in the officialdom, but his future career may also be affected. He subconsciously forgets the benefits that his daughters brought him when they were born, and even subconsciously begins to avoid them.

Therefore, even though he went to the main courtyard several times due to the support of Old Master Wang, he never went to see Chen Lan specifically. Even Hua Lan was implicated. She was nearly three months old and had very few opportunities to see her father.

At first, Madam Wang didn't understand what was going on, but in the past two months, Sheng Hong had been to the main courtyard less than once. Even if one was carefree, one could still feel the weird atmosphere in the mansion.

Mother Liu grew up with Wang Ruofu. In the past, the "girl" she saw was always lively and free, but now she can't stand seeing her "unhappy" look the most.

"Madam, what's wrong with you these days? I see you've lost a lot of weight. If you have something unhappy in your heart, let's talk about it. Don't keep it in your heart and make yourself sick."

Maybe it was because of the fear and worry during the confinement period, or maybe it was because she didn’t receive care from her family after giving birth, but during this period, Mrs. Wang seemed like a different person, no longer as energetic as before.

"You said, my Chen'er and Hua'er, two such blessed sisters, how come they don't like them? Oh, my father is the Grand Tutor of the dynasty, how dare they, how dare they treat my Chen'er and Hua'er like this."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Her hysterical look not only shocked the little Chen Lan, but also scared the good baby Hua Lan into tears.

Hearing her daughter's cry, Wang Ruofu froze. She ran over and stared at the two children at a loss, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Mother Liu is still reliable. In just a few months, she has mastered the essence of baby-soothing skills and quickly calmed Hualan who was crying non-stop.

Looking at these two cute and well-behaved sisters, Madam Wang's heart and eyes were filled with these two babies she gave birth to. How could she remember the resentment she felt just now?

I thought such days would continue for a long time, but unexpectedly they were broken by an imperial decree of promotion.

If this imperial decree of promotion was enough to reassure the people of the Sheng family, then the two maids that came with the imperial decree would directly make the entire Sheng Mansion boil.

Therefore, at this moment, Sheng Hong and Old Lady Sheng could no longer remember their previous disdain for the two children. If they were not still rational, they would have wanted to kiss the two children and hold them in their arms and give them kisses.

I don't think Madam Wang, who is not very smart, will be able to learn how to change her expression so quickly in her lifetime.

As for the two heads of the Sheng family, why their attitudes changed so drastically just because of the two maids, it was of course because the two maids had extraordinary origins.

One is the current emperor's chief nanny, and the other is the head nanny in the palace of the late Zhang Zhaoyuan (the biological mother of the only prince of the current Song emperor).

Just like that, because of an imperial decree, the Sheng family returned to their previous happy and harmonious days.

But no matter how stupid they are, hurt is hurt, and the couple who used to be so sweet together finally have a rift between them.

If Sheng Hong could take care of the mother and daughter wholeheartedly in the future, perhaps the family could restore their original happiness. However, the world is so unpredictable. From the moment Miss Lin was brought into the Sheng Mansion by Old Madam Sheng, this family was destined to have no happiness.

Someone once said that in the past, when transportation was slow and letters were far away, there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime. But I only saw the wife who worked hard to manage the household and raise the children, and the husband who spoiled his wife in front of others but actually treated her as a housekeeper.

Wang Ruofu was born into a prominent family, and her father was the prime minister of the dynasty. She thought that by marrying down from her husband's family, she would be respected by them. However, she did not expect that not only would the marriage be a mess, but it would also turn her from a pretty girl into a hysterical woman.

This story starts from the time when the Sheng family moved to Yangzhou. First, the old lady wanted to move the two sisters in the family to Shou'an Hall to be raised in the name of education.

Mrs. Wang couldn't argue with him, so she sent both children to the old lady. But she didn't expect that as soon as they arrived at Shou'an Hall, the two children started crying non-stop.

Even though she respected her mother-in-law, out of love for the child, Mrs. Wang still stubbornly moved the child back to her own room.

Unexpectedly, this move not only offended the old lady, but also brought a young lady from another family into the house.

The young lady's name was Qinshuang. She was at the age of marriage. Her father was exiled for committing a crime, so she had to live with the old lady of the Sheng family who was friends with her mother.

At the beginning, everyone got along well with each other. In fact, because of Lin Qinshuang's miserable life experience, Wang Ruofu felt very pity for her and even treated her as her own sister.

Unexpectedly, after getting used to the wealthy life of the Sheng family, and knowing that the master of the Sheng family was so easy to "cheat" and the mistress of the Sheng family was extremely naive, this Miss Lin began to have bad thoughts.

First, she rejected the poor scholars and candidates that the old lady introduced to her, and then she secretly seduced Sheng Hong under the old lady's nose.

No one noticed this at first, until Wang Ruofu became pregnant again and Sheng Hong often made excuses not to come to Weiruixuan in the later stages of pregnancy, which made Chen Lan discover something.

Chen Lan has never liked this father, always feeling that he is too fake, but that doesn't mean she is willing to share her father with other wild women.

Therefore, in terms of finding the right measure to not hurt the eldest lady and often secretly destroying the relationship between Sheng Hong and Miss Lin, Chen Lan performed so well that Lin Qinshuang gritted her teeth.

Therefore, until Changbai was born, the two were forced to keep a clean life, and even spent very little time together in private.

But who is Lin Qinshuang? Under Chen Lan's "strict defense", she finally succeeded in pulling Sheng Hong onto the couch when everyone in the family turned their attention to the newborn boy.

In this way, the two of them met secretly for a year, until Lin Qinshuang became pregnant, and then she came to provoke him with her belly that was not even visible.

After Chen Lan learned about it, she hurried to her mother's yard, ready to help Madam Wang solve the problem. Unexpectedly, she ran into Sheng Hong who was rushing in at the door.

"Daddy, you came here so quickly, do you want to see your brother?" Chen Lan held Hua Lan's hand, staring at Sheng Hong with her big grape-like eyes without blinking, and asked in a confused manner.

Being stared at by his daughter's clear and innocent eyes, Sheng Hong's sense of shame was somehow maximized.

Sheng Hong was a little embarrassed and wanted to change the subject uncomfortably: "Chen'er, Hua'er, you two should go out and play by yourselves first. I have something to tell your mother."

How could the rascal Chen, who wanted to support his mother, let his scumbag father get his wish? No matter what Sheng Hong said, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family still walked in with her original intention, and also pulled her younger sister in.

As soon as she entered the room, Chen Lan heard the aroma of tea in Lin Qinshuang's voice. She kept setting traps for her mother and her words were full of provocation.

Relying on her strong backing, Chen Lan didn't bother pretending and directly made things clear: "You mean that you and father are planning to give birth to a little brother for our Sheng family without any matchmaker or engagement?"

"Logically, this matter shouldn't be handled by a child like me, but I have been learning the rules of the palace since I was a child. How can I let people know that there are no rules in my family before I have learned them?"

"Since you are determined to be my father's concubine, it is not impossible for you to do so for the sake of the little brother in your belly."

"It's just..." Looking at Lin Qinshuang's expectant face, Chen Lan deliberately paused for a moment before speaking.

"I know that you are the descendant of a criminal who cannot even be a concubine. In order not to affect the future of our family, you should sign a contract to sell yourself to my mother and become a concubine in the Sheng family."

"When you give birth to children for our family, I will give you a concubine. If you are not satisfied with my proposal, then sink into the pond."

Lin Qinshuang has always disapproved of Chenlan's distinguished status in the mansion, thinking it was only because she was the eldest daughter. Therefore, she ignored her words and instead pretended to cry, looking at Sheng Hong with tears about to fall.

If someone else (Wang Ruofu) had said this, Sheng Hong would not only not refute it, but would also find an excuse to scold her. However, the person who said this was the "future empress" who was at the top of their family's food chain.

Sheng Hong very "obediently" accepted his daughter's suggestion. Facing Lin Qinshuang's incredulous eyes, he coughed twice with a guilty conscience.

In this way, Lin Xiaoniang, who was supposed to have enjoyed unlimited glory, became the concubine of Sheng Hong, the master of the Sheng family, and had to live the life of a concubine who had to visit her parents on time every morning and evening.

Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained and only routines can win people's hearts. This has become a true portrayal of the eldest lady and the concubine of the Sheng family.

Sheng Hong, the Tongpan of Yangzhou, has done a good job in the past few years. He is very good at judging people at work. However, when he returned to the mansion, he suddenly became busy and confused.

Sheng Hong didn't know whether he really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand something that anyone with a discerning eye could understand. It was the wife he married in a formal ceremony who truly loved him, but he preferred the young lady Lin who was hypocritical to him.

"Mother Liu, send someone to check. Why hasn't that little bitch come to pay her respects to me yet? She's just a concubine who was just brought up from the main room. I don't know who gave her the courage."

Chenlan and Hualan paused for a moment as they were about to step in, then walked in as if nothing had happened to pay their respects to Madam Wang. When they thought of the two people falling behind them, a cunning flashed in their eyes.

Seeing her mother's angry look, Chen Lan had to pretend to be a caring little girl, and said something that seemed to comfort her but was actually giving advice: "Mom, you are really too concerned. Dad is not one of those hypocrites who favors concubines over wives. If the concubine is disobedient, you can just sell her off. Why bother to get angry and hurt yourself here?

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard the conversation inside, "humble concubine" Lin and Sheng Hong who was almost labeled a "hypocrite".

"Honglang, listen to what the eldest lady said. After all, I am her stepmother now. She is so outspoken. It would be fine if she only talked about me, but why did she bring Honglang into this?"

Seeing Sheng Hong who was unmoved, Lin Qinshuang continued to speak: "I know that you, Honglang, have always doted on the two girls. It's not a big deal for us to suffer a little grievance at home, but if this matter gets out, will the reputation of the eldest girls be ruined..."

"Alright, don't talk nonsense about Sister Chen's affairs from now on, otherwise I won't be able to save you. You should behave yourself for a while and don't make the Madam angry. If she gets pregnant, it may be difficult for the baby in your belly to be born."

Lin Qinshuang looked at Sheng Hong in disbelief. He clearly didn't say that last night. Why did he seem like a different person when he arrived at Weiruixuan today?

Although she was very dissatisfied, she was smart enough to know when to say what and when to stop.

Seeing Sheng Hong enter the house alone, Lin Qinshuang hurriedly followed him. In order to catch up with Sheng Hong, her agile figure did not look like that of a woman who was eight months pregnant at all.

Wang Ruofu looked at Lin Qinshuang, who was bowing to her respectfully with her big belly, and her anger suddenly disappeared and she became calm.

"Okay, get up now. You must come on time for morning and evening visits from now on. Don't make me, the mistress, wait any longer."

Although what he said was harsh, his anger had completely disappeared. Seeing Lin Xiaoniang's huge belly, he softened his anger, but he still said unforgivingly: "Since you said that you can't get out of bed because of your advanced pregnancy, then wait until you give birth to the baby, and then come to pay your respects to me."

Before Lin Qinshuang could reply, Sheng Hong shamelessly praised her, "Our eldest lady is really kind and considerate. Lin, you must thank her for her kindness and never make the same mistake again."

"My lady, you are pregnant now, so you must not overwork yourself. If you are too busy with the affairs of the mansion, you can..."

Before Sheng Hong finished speaking, he heard his wife yelling at him, "I'm still alive and well, who are you trying to make room for? My father deserves to be enshrined in the imperial temple, and I gave birth to two daughters and a son for your Sheng family. Now you're pregnant with another one, how dare you try to favor a concubine over your wife?"

Chen Lan rolled her eyes at her speechless father in annoyance. Look how angry her mother was. Hua Lan also looked at Sheng Hong with disapproval.

Sheng Hong…
