I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

When Minglan heard this, her expression changed slightly and anger surged in her heart.

She clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white and her nails almost digging into her palms.

Molan deliberately emphasized the terms "legitimate mother" and "mother", as if to remind Minglan that they were of noble status, while Minglan was just a concubine's daughter and had no right to participate in these matters.

Molan and Rulan knew clearly that Wei Xiaoniang was out of favor, but they still deliberately said these words in front of her. They were clearly mocking her for not having a good mother and were rubbing salt into her heart.

Minglan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, but still kept a smile on her face.

"Sister, that's true. I heard that the person who came today was Madam Wu from the Earl of Yongchang's mansion, and she brought her son Liu Lang with her. I'm curious and want to go and take a look."

She deliberately emphasized the words "Earl of Yongchang's Mansion" to remind Molan that this was a good marriage, and if she missed it, she might never have it again.

"So what? What does it have to do with us?"

Molan's tone was firm.

Seeing this, Minglan sneered in her heart, thinking that Molan must be saying one thing and thinking another.

Her eyes rolled, a plan came to her mind, and she pretended to be innocent.

"Sister, that's true. I heard that Liu Lang is very handsome and elegant. It would be great if I could meet him."

As she spoke, she glanced at Rulan out of the corner of her eye. Sure enough, Rulan's face showed an eager expression.

Rulan is straightforward and can't hide her thoughts. When she heard that Minglan was going to meet the handsome Liu Lang, she immediately became interested.

"I am coming too!"

She grabbed Minglan's hand and said excitedly, "I also want to see what Liu Lang looks like and whether he is really as good as you say."

Seeing this, Molan raised her eyebrows and felt secretly annoyed. She didn't expect Minglan to be so cunning and coax Rulan with just a few words.

She wanted to stop him, but couldn't bring herself to do it, so she could only snort coldly and walk away.

"Forget it, if you want to go, go ahead. I don't care about you."

She walked into the pavilion alone, sat on a stone bench, poured herself a cup of tea, and sipped it slowly.

Not long after, a maid came to report that Wang Ruofu asked several girls to go to the front hall.

When Molan heard this, she put down her teacup, stood up, straightened her clothes, and then walked slowly towards the front hall.

The front hall was bustling with laughter and joy.

Mrs. Wu was chatting and laughing with Wang Ruofu, while Liang Han sat stiffly beside them, stealing glances at the door from time to time.

When Molan, Rulan and Minglan walked into the front hall, Liang Han's eyes suddenly lit up and his gaze was fixed on Molan.

Molan dressed up specially today. The aqua-green jacket made her skin look whiter than snow. Her black hair was tied into an exquisite bun with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally, making her look even more radiant and charming.

Mrs. Wu was also a smart person. She saw Liang Han's thoughts at a glance. She smiled, took Molan's hand, and spoke affectionately.

"Oh, this girl is so pretty, like she walked out of a painting."

She turned to look at Rulan and praised, "This girl is also a beauty. She looks very pleasing."

Liang Han made no secret of his admiration for Molan. He stared at Molan intently with an obsessed smile on his face, as if Molan was the only one left in the whole world.

Seeing this, Wang Ruofu smiled and asked the girls to sit down, and told the maid to bring tea and snacks, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

Minglan observed everything around her calmly. She noticed that Molan didn't seem to care much about Liang Han's favor.

Rulan was carefree and did not hide her curiosity at all. She looked at Liang Han, then at Molan, and kept asking various questions, which made everyone laugh.

She raised her eyes and happened to meet Lin Qinshuang's gaze.

Lin Qinshuang sat in the corner with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were deep and complex, making it difficult to understand.

Minglan's heart trembled. Lin Qinshuang didn't seem to care much about such a marriage. Didn't the mother and daughter even look down on the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion?

After seeing off the noisy Madam Wu and her group, Lin Qinshuang took Molan and exchanged a few polite words with Wang Ruofu before saying goodbye and returning to the Princess's Mansion.

After returning to Qiu Shui Garden, Lin Qinshuang dismissed her attendants and left Molan alone.

"Mo'er, what do you think of Liang Han today?"

Lin Qinshuang took Molan's hand, gently stroked her delicate skin with her fingertips, her eyes burning.

"Are you a good match?"

When Molan heard this, she frowned slightly, as if she had heard something incredible. She raised her eyes, and a trace of shame and anger flashed in her eyes.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

There was a hint of helplessness and even a hint of anger in her tone.

"Why do you have to ask me the same question when you meet a young master from a noble family?"

"I have no interest in those young men."

"A bunch of good-for-nothings who have no ambition, how can they be worthy of me?"

Lin Qinshuang looked at her daughter's back, feeling both doting and helplessness. Mo'er was becoming more and more independent.

At the same time, in Chengyuan, the scene was quite different.

When Qi Heng heard that Liang Han and Molan had a great conversation at Sheng's house that day and might even get married, he was shocked and completely stunned.

He paced back and forth in the room, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit still.

From time to time, he grabbed the teacup on the table and took a gulp of cold tea, but it did not calm his anxiety at all.

The tea had already gone cold and tasted bitter, but not even one ten-thousandth as bitter as the one in his heart.

"How can this be?"

He murmured to himself, his handsome face full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"How could Molan..."

He couldn't believe that the woman he had been thinking about so much would actually be having a good conversation with another man and might even marry someone else.

He couldn't accept this fact, and he couldn't imagine what he would do if Molan really married someone else?

His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.

Qi Heng's abnormality naturally did not escape the eyes of Princess Pingning.

Seeing her son's absent-minded appearance, she felt puzzled and called Qi Heng's trusted servant Wuwei to question him in detail.

"Wuwei, what happened to your young master?"

Princess Pingning sat upright on the armchair, her tone dignified and her eyes sharp.

Wuwei was intimidated by Princess Pingning's aura. He hesitated and dared not speak directly. He just lowered his head and kept rubbing the corner of his clothes.

"Say!"

Princess Pingning shouted loudly, frightening Wuwei so much that he trembled all over and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Slave...slave..."

Wuwei hesitated and couldn't explain it for a long time.

Princess Pingning became even more angry when she saw this. She waved her hand and signaled Wuwei to leave.

"Well, if you don't tell me, I'll go find out myself."

Princess Pingning acted decisively and quickly found out the whole story.

After returning, she sat down in the chair angrily, her face ashen and her chest heaving violently.

"That's unreasonable!"

She slammed the table so hard that the teacups jumped up with a crisp sound.

"This bastard is really making me mad!"

"There's a good Anle County Lady, Molan, but the legitimate daughter, Ruolan, doesn't like her, but..."

She paused here, as if she found it difficult to speak.

"Why do you have to like that illegitimate Minglan!"

She became more and more angry as she spoke, and her voice became higher and higher.

"He's totally blind!"

She was so angry that she was shaking all over, her face flushed red, and she looked like she would faint at any moment.
