Jin Shuai and the others arrived at the Sheng family courtyard, where a lively scene unfolded. Sheng Changfeng stood there tall and straight, gripping an arrow tightly in his hand, his gaze intently fixed on the gushing water not far ahead. Opposite him stood Bai Ye, the man brought by Yuan Wenchun, who also appeared serious and focused.

At this moment, the fierce pitching game had entered its most intense stage. It seemed that Sheng Changfeng was about to lose Sheng Hualan's precious betrothal gift...

Among the onlookers, Jin Shuai watched Sheng Molan with growing anxiety. She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead. Finally, unable to contain her anxiety any longer, Sheng Molan hurriedly ran off. Jin Shuai thought to himself that she must have gone to Lin Qinshuang to complain, and that the news must have reached Madam Wang by now. At this moment, Wang Ruofu, who had been overjoyed, panicked. While busy entertaining the guests, she anxiously inquired about the situation from those around her.

Jin Shuai thought that Hua Lan and Old Madam Sheng probably already knew how the plot was going.

Sheng Hualan, who was receiving instruction from Old Madam Sheng in her room, also learned of this matter and was equally anxious. She quickly turned her head and looked at Old Madam Sheng, her eyes full of pleading.

With a calm expression, Old Madam Sheng slowly said, "Hualan, you've grown up now and are about to marry into the Yuan family as the matriarch. You'll likely face many similar situations in the future, so this time you'll have to make your own decisions. Although you are still the eldest daughter of the Sheng family today, tomorrow you will be the second eldest daughter-in-law of the Yuan family. You must learn to make your own decisions and not rely on others as you did before." With that, Old Madam Sheng gently patted Sheng Hualan's hand in encouragement.

Wang Ruofu was also extremely anxious. She was convinced that Sheng Hong was still deeply infatuated with Lin Qinshuang, so she stormed off to Lin Qinshuang's courtyard.

Wang Ruofu stormed into Lin Qinshuang's courtyard, her face full of anger and determination. Without uttering a single extra word, she raised her hand and slapped Lin Qinshuang hard across the face. The slap was crisp and loud.

Lin Qinshuang, who had been beaten, instantly became teary-eyed, her face full of grievance and sorrow, looking pitiful. She tightly grasped Wang Ruofu's clothes and pleaded, "Madam, please help me!" Tears streamed down her cheeks, her voice filled with sobs and despair.

However, Wang Ruofu was not swayed by Lin Qinshuang's pleas. Instead, she looked at her coldly, her tone full of disdain and disgust: "Save him? Why should I save him?" After saying that, she turned to leave.

Just then, Wang Ruofu suddenly realized that Sheng Hong was not there, so she quickened her pace without hesitation and left the courtyard quickly, as if she did not want to stay there for even a moment longer.

After Wang Ruofu left, Lin Qinshuang, who had just appeared weak and helpless, immediately changed her demeanor. With a sharp look in her eyes, she ordered her maid to quickly convey a message to Sheng Changfeng, instructing him to go to Sheng Hong immediately to apologize and beg for forgiveness, and to show no mercy whatsoever. Not only that, Lin Qinshuang specifically instructed the maid to find out Sheng Hong's trusted confidant, Dong Rong, in order to ascertain how Sheng Changfeng would be dealt with next. Undoubtedly, it seemed that a beating was inevitable for Sheng Changfeng.
