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

Earl's Mansion, Shou'an Hall.

Old Mrs. He smiled widely as she led her grandson He Hongwen over the threshold.

Old Madam Sheng sat upright on the couch. Although she had a smile on her face, there was a strange look in her eyes.

"Old sister, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look better and better!"

Old Mrs. He smiled as she stepped into Shou'an Hall, her voice full of intimacy.

Next to her was a tall and straight young man, who was her grandson He Hongwen.

He Hongwen had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was dignified and imposing. His every move and gesture showed the dignity of a young master from a noble family.

Old Madam Sheng sat upright on a rosewood couch, wearing a dark red jacket embroidered with gold thread floral patterns, looking elegant and luxurious.

"It's Hongwen, come here quickly and let grandma see him."

Old Madam Sheng's voice was kind, but her eyes fell on He Hongwen with a bit of scrutiny.

He Hongwen took a few steps forward and saluted respectfully.

"Grandson meets Grandma Sheng and wishes her a long and healthy life."

He has a clear voice, neither humble nor arrogant, and his demeanor reveals the demeanor of a noble person.

"Okay, okay, good boy."

Old Mrs. Sheng smiled even more deeply, took He Hongwen's hand and looked at him carefully.

"Having not seen you for a few years, Hongwen has become even more handsome. He's almost catching up with your father's handsomeness."

Old Mrs. He smiled and interjected.

"You're too kind, elder sister. This child still needs more training."

"No, no, Hongwen is a rare talent. He will definitely achieve great things in the future."

As soon as Mrs. He sat down, she took Mrs. Sheng's hand and patted it affectionately: "Old sister, I came here today to ask for something."

Old Madam Sheng calmly sipped her tea and said gently, "Sister, just speak frankly. We are sisters, why should we be polite to each other?"

Old Madam He cleared her throat, her eyes fell on He Hongwen, and she said with a smile: "Hongwen is already grown up, and his medical skills are superb. I was thinking, could I use Princess Fuxi's relationship to get him a job in the Imperial Hospital?"

When Mrs. Sheng heard this, her heart sank, but her face remained calm and she only said "Oh" lightly.

She knew very well that the He family wanted to curry favor with the Sheng family and use Princess Fuxi's influence to pave the way for He Hongwen.

But Lin Qinshuang is cunning and treacherous, how can she be used at will?

Old Madam Sheng suppressed her displeasure, picked up the teacup, and gently stirred the tea leaves, saying nonchalantly, "The affairs of the Imperial Hospital are not something I can decide. It all depends on Hongwen's own ability."

Mrs. He hit a snag, her face slightly stiffened, but she still didn't give up and continued, "Old sister, you are Princess Fuxi's benefactor. If you say something, the princess will definitely give you some face."

Old Madam Sheng sneered inwardly, but remained amiable on the outside: "Old sister, that's a harsh word. I'm just an old lady, how can I have such a big face? This matter still needs to be considered carefully."

She said a few perfunctory words and then changed the subject, not mentioning the matter anymore.

He Hongwen stood by with his hands hanging down, and heard the conversation between the two old ladies clearly.

Seeing that Old Lady Sheng had a cold attitude, he felt anxious and wanted to find another way.

Coincidentally, Minglan came out of the inner room and passed through the front hall.

He Hongwen's eyes lit up, and he immediately went up to her with a smile on his face: "Sister Minglan, it's been a long time since we last met. You look even more beautiful than before."

Minglan paused slightly, raised her eyes and glanced at him indifferently, saying in a distant tone: "Mr. He is polite."

Seeing her indifference, He Hongwen was not discouraged and continued, "Where are you going, Sister Minglan? Why don't I accompany you?"

Minglan frowned slightly, and her tone became even colder: "No need, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

After she finished speaking, she walked around He Hongwen and left Shou'an Hall directly.

He Hongwen was frustrated and touched his nose awkwardly, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

He could see that although Minglan was a concubine's daughter, she was still a concubine's daughter of the Sheng family. If he could marry her, it would definitely be of great benefit to his career.

However, Minglan didn't seem to have a good impression of him, which gave him a headache.

Old Madam Sheng saw all this and shook her head secretly.

Seeing that her grandson was humiliated, Mrs. He felt a little embarrassed. After sitting for a while, she stood up and said goodbye.

Old Madam Sheng politely saw them out the door. When she turned back to the house, the smile on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.

A few days later, Hualan returned to the Earl's Mansion.

As soon as Wang Ruofu saw her, she smiled happily, walked quickly forward, took her hand and looked her up and down.

Hualan had a rosy complexion and looked very healthy. Her eyes were clear and her gaze was bright. One could tell at a glance that she was living a good life in the Yuan family.

Wang Ruofu's heart finally settled down.

"My son, you are finally back."

Wang Ruofu's voice was trembling with a barely perceptible tremor, which was joy and heartache.

"Let me see, have you lost weight?"

Wang Ruofu looked at Hualan's face carefully and saw that there was a smile between her eyebrows and her mouth corners were slightly upturned. She was obviously in a good mood. The joy in her heart was like a bud breaking through the ground in spring, growing vigorously.

"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."

Hua Lan snuggled in Wang Ruofu's arms, rubbed her shoulders affectionately, and shook her arm coquettishly. Her voice was soft and full of the innocence of a girl.

"It's good, it's good."

Wang Ruofu patted the back of Hua Lan's hand, feeling it was smooth and delicate. Only then did she feel relieved. She asked with concern, "Has anyone in the Yuan family bullied you?"

Hua Lan smiled and shook her head, and the ruby ​​tassels on her bun swayed gently, reflecting tiny rays of light.

"No, my mother-in-law treats me very well, and my husband loves me too. I live a happy life."

She paused, her eyes rolling, and added,

“Although the Earl of Zhongqin’s Mansion may have some deficits, I have also offered to help them fill them, but my mother-in-law told me to keep my dowry. The Earl of Zhongqin’s Mansion is so big that it doesn’t need the dowry of a daughter-in-law to support the family.

And ever since Princess Fuxi was promoted to princess, she's practically treated me like a deity."

After hearing this, Wang Ruofu felt even more relieved, and a smile appeared on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

She knew that her decision was right.

If she hadn't humbled herself and made friends with Lin Qinshuang, how could the situation be like this today?

"That's fine, that's fine."

Wang Ruofu nodded repeatedly, pulled Hualan to sit on the couch, and asked her in detail about her situation in the Yuan family.

Hualan answered them one by one, her words full of happiness, and a faint blush on her cheeks, like a ripe peach, delicate and tempting.

Wang Ruofu listened with a lot of emotion in her heart.

She thought about how much effort she had put into Hualan's marriage. Now that she saw her daughter living a happy life, she felt that it was all worth it, and her eyes even became a little moist.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet the princess."

She stood up, straightened her clothes, took Hualan's hand, and walked towards Lin Qinshuang's yard.
