Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven
Chapter 299
Sheng Molan (Feng Xi) opened her eyes and accepted the plot. She knew this world revolved around the growth, love, and marriage of Minglan, a young girl from a Northern Song Dynasty official family. It unfolded a life story, a journey from a boudoir girl to the mistress of a marquisate, depicting the rise and fall of a family and the legendary struggles of women under the ancient rites and ethical systems. Minglan, the sixth daughter of the Sheng family, was intelligent and beautiful from a young age, but faced the hardships of an unkind stepmother, difficult sisters, a neglected father, and the murder of her biological mother. Hiding her intelligence and brilliance, she endured humiliation and adversity, rising through adversity. Despite immense oppression, she remained self-reliant and strong, ultimately avenging her mother's death through hardships. Along the way, Minglan met Gu Tingye, the second son of the Ningyuan Marquisate. Gu Tingye had helped Minglan, but also treated her harshly. He had seen the sharp wit beneath her soft exterior, as well as the vulnerability and loneliness beneath her strength, and he had long been enamored with her. The court was in flux. With Gu Tingye's support, a son of a branch of the Zhao family was appointed crown prince. With the imperial edict, Gu Tingye defeated the rebels and subsequently supported the new emperor, becoming the new dynasty's most meritorious official. He then used a subtle tactic to marry Minglan. After marriage, Minglan managed the household, cleaned up the mansion, and eradicated the scoundrels. The couple overcame their misunderstandings and forged a deep bond. Ultimately, Minglan and her husband helped the wise emperor consolidate his power, and they both found a fulfilling life. Molan was shocked to discover that her own body mirrored the heroine's, and that her and her mother's fates were etched in profound sorrow by the heroine's fate. Furthermore, she discerned from subtle clues in the plot that Minglan's mother's death wasn't necessarily her own fault. Rather, while she was in charge of the household, she was manipulated by others, ultimately leading to Wei's mother's death and making her own mother the scapegoat. Thinking of this, Molan became extremely anxious and hurried to Linqi Pavilion with her maid to look for her mother.
Seeing Molan rushing over, Lin Qinshuang hurriedly asked, "Mo'er, why don't you go play with your sisters?"
Molan waved her hand, signaling the maids in the room to leave, and then said in a firm tone: "Little lady, you should return the housekeeping power to the eldest lady!"
Lin Qinshuang hugged her daughter tightly, a wry smile on her lips as she said, "Silly girl, why should we return it? If we return it, our lives will not be so good, even though your father treats us well. If the eldest lady and the housekeeper treat us badly, they will inevitably treat us badly. After all, the old lady already has a grudge against us!"
Molan let out a sigh of relief and spoke slowly, "I've stumbled upon a fact: Minglan's mother is pregnant, yet she's living in a place with no charcoal to burn. Imagine how your father would feel if he knew. Furthermore, if anything were to happen to her during her pregnancy, he'd surely pin the blame on you. I heard your official rank is about to be promoted, and he'll take us to the capital. Imagine, if something were to happen, would your father still stand firmly by your side as he did in the past? You must know, you're only a concubine after all." Hearing her daughter mention her status as a concubine, Lin Qinshuang paused, a complex expression on her face. However, she quickly recovered, thinking to herself, "There's some truth to what my daughter says." Back then, if Sheng Hong hadn't considered his own career, how could he have married Wang Ruofu? Thinking about it this way, I am just a concubine after all.
Although she knew Sheng Hong had genuine feelings for her in the past, this affection seemed so insignificant and powerless in the face of his career prospects. Lin Qinshuang sighed softly, then called over the nanny beside her and ordered, "Go and get the account book." Not long after, the nanny hurried back with the account book in hand.
After Lin Qinshuang took the account book, she took it to Weiruixuan without delay. Along the way, she felt quite heavy-hearted, constantly thinking about how to deal with Wang Ruofu later.
When Wang Ruofu saw that Lin Xiaoniang had come uninvited, her face was filled with surprise and confusion. She couldn't help but ask, "What brings you here, Lin Xiaoniang?"
Lin Qinshuang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Madam, I came here today specifically to hand you the account book and the housekeeper's key. I heard recently that the higher-ups are conducting assessments on various mansions, and I think if people knew that the master's mansion is still managed by a concubine like me, it might be detrimental to the master's career. Although you have been busy with Miss Hualan's wedding affairs recently and cannot spare much time to take care of these trivial matters. But you might as well ask the old lady to come out and help..." At this point, Lin Qinshuang lowered her head slightly, putting on an appearance of submissiveness and humility.
After listening to this, Wang Ruofu thought for a moment, and a look of agreement appeared on her face. She then said, "Well, that does make sense. In that case, I will take back the housekeeper's power! It's not easy for Miss Lin to think this way..." As she spoke, she took the account book and key and put them aside.
Lin Qinshuang, who was standing aside, bowed slightly and replied softly, "This is just what I should do..." After she finished speaking, she bowed to Wang Ruofu again, then turned around and slowly left with her maid.
Meanwhile, Molan hurriedly found her brother Sheng Changfeng. She looked anxious, and upon seeing him, she hurriedly asked, "Brother, are my mother and I the most important people to you?"
Sheng Changfeng looked at his sister's anxious expression and nodded without hesitation, "Of course, there is no doubt about that! My sister and I are both my dearest and most beloved people."
Molan breathed a sigh of relief at her brother's affirmative answer, but then lowered her voice and instructed him, "Since that's the case, I have something to ask of you, brother. When my eldest sister proposes, you must pretend to be ill and bedridden, and never go out in public."
Sheng Changfeng couldn't help but look puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Why is this? Sister, why don't you just tell me the reason?"
Molan bit her lip, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she explained softly: "Brother, you don't know that someone wants to frame you. If you make a mistake, I will definitely be punished. Think about it, brother, our mother is a concubine. Once she makes a mistake, the punishment she will bear will certainly be extremely severe. Therefore, for the sake of you and me and my mother's future stable life, brother must listen to my pretending to be sick this time and not let the bad guys take advantage. If you can pass the imperial examination and set up your own family in the future, my mother and I will not suffer any more grievances!" Sheng Changfeng thought about his mother's hardships, and the fact that he and his sister were illegitimate children. If it weren't for their father's love, it would not be easy for them to live in this family, so he said: "Okay!"
Molan said with a smile, "Brother, you're so kind! Come, try this, I had it specially stewed for you..." Changfeng took the soup, gulped it down in one gulp, and then said happily, "Brother, go read a book! I know how to make it!" After watching Changfeng drink the soup, Molan also left happily. It turned out that she added a wisdom pill to the soup, which would make Changfeng's mind more sharp and study easier.
Hey, you know what, when Chang Feng returned to his study, it was as if he had just opened his eyes. Things that he couldn't understand before, he understood immediately, and things that he couldn't remember were also remembered immediately. He was so happy, feeling so great, so he studied even harder, determined to pass the imperial examination quickly so that his sister and mother could have something to rely on.
