How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

Grandma Sheng was filled with doubt, truly baffled as to why Minglan would deliberately provoke Molan. Her gaze, both loving and inquisitive, fell upon Minglan, and she softly asked, "Minglan, why did you do this?" Minglan lowered her eyes, preoccupied with her own considerations, and ultimately refrained from revealing the truth, only softly saying, "Grandmother, I was just momentarily angered." Grandma Sheng sighed gently, raising her hand to stroke Minglan's hair, and earnestly instructed, "Minglan, you know you're finally about to achieve your goals. You mustn't waste your time arguing with those petty people, needlessly ruining your peace of mind and future." With that, she instructed her attendant to fetch a delicate little box, handing it to Minglan, and said gently, "This is medicine specially prepared by the He family. Apply it daily as prescribed, and your face will not be scarred." Minglan accepted the box, her heart filled with gratitude, her eyes slightly reddening, and softly said, "Thank you for your concern, Grandmother."

After Minglan fell asleep, Danju returned to Old Madam Sheng's room and relayed Minglan's words, saying only, "Old Madam, the young lady said she only wanted to put Molan in her place, but she never expected Molan to be so ruthless."

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and onto Minglan's bed. Minglan woke up, touched the wound on her face, and felt it was much better. Just then, a servant came to report that He Hongwen had personally brought medicine. Minglan felt a pang of helplessness but had Danju invite him in. He Hongwen didn't enter the room; he simply stood at the door, his expression concerned yet somewhat reserved. He said loudly, "Miss Minglan, a young lady with a wound on her face is naturally ashamed to be seen, so I won't disturb you by coming in. This medicine is beneficial for the healing of the wound. Later, I'll bring a few fresh fish and personally make soup for you to nourish your body." With that, he handed the medicine to Danju and turned to leave. Minglan and Xiaotao then came out of the room. Xiaotao happily took the things He Hongwen had left behind and skipped and hopped back into the house.

Mo Lan had been kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days. The cold, hard bricks beneath her knees had left her legs numb and in excruciating pain. Sheng Hong had been claiming to be busy with official duties and forbidding anyone from disturbing him. Lin Qinshuang was frantic with worry, wanting to plead for her daughter, but she couldn't even get a glimpse of Sheng Hong. Mo Lan couldn't bear it any longer; she cried until she was hoarse, filled with grievance, and finally pretended to faint on the ground.

Upon learning of her daughter's condition, Lin Qinshuang burst into Sheng Hong's study, sobbing, "Honglang, look at Molan's pitiful state! She's been kneeling in the ancestral hall for so long. How can a delicate young lady like her endure this?" This time, Sheng Hong was resolute. His face darkened, and he said angrily, "She injured Minglan; such cruelty deserves a good lesson!" Seeing that her pleas were useless, Lin Qinshuang steeled herself, stood up, wiped away her tears, and said, "Since you won't forgive Molan, then I'll kneel in her place." She turned to leave. But halfway there, her body suddenly went limp, and she collapsed. Sheng Hong, heartbroken, rushed to help her up. Left with no other choice, he released Molan from the ancestral hall and then ordered, "Confine Molan to her quarters for three months, so that we can give the old lady an explanation."

Seeing that her daughter's situation had improved somewhat, Lin Qinshuang hurriedly brought up Mo Lan's marriage again: "Honglang, Mo Lan's marriage cannot be delayed. Now is the time to look around for suitable matches. This confinement..." Sheng Hong impatiently interrupted her, saying, "I will find a good marriage for Mo Lan myself. You don't need to say anything more."

The next day, Sheng Hong mentioned to Lin Qinshuang, "I remembered a scholar who just passed the imperial examination, named Wen Yanjing." Lin Qinshuang was initially delighted, but when she learned that Wen Yanjing's family had been farmers for generations and had little wealth, she immediately became anxious: "Honglang, how can this be? How can Molan marry into such a family?" Sheng Hong, however, greatly admired Wen Yanjing, saying firmly, "This man has outstanding literary talent and will surely have a bright future." Lin Qinshuang refused outright, and Sheng Hong angrily turned and left. Lin Qinshuang could only watch helplessly as Sheng Hong left without looking back.
