Chapter 361: Follow-up
"Evil beasts! How did I give birth to you! In vain, you have read the books of the sages for so many years, and you can't even remember the most basic etiquette, righteousness, and shame!
You are so bold that you dare to do such a degrading and unsightly thing!
My old face has been lost by you and your sister!
What a son of man in vain! ”
Sheng Hong jumped like thunder, jumping up and down in the hall with anger, looking at Sheng Changfeng kneeling on the ground, Sheng Hong's heart was getting more and more blocked.
Why didn't he go to the wall when he was shivering!
Gave birth to such a faceless bastard!
"Father! Father! Sheng Changfeng cried, didn't care about his knees, moved a few steps forward, hugged Sheng Hong's legs and cried: "Father, my son is just a momentary lake, and he lost his biological mother, worried about his mother, and restless, so he was confused by his sister's words and made such a heinous mistake!"
The son has now completely woken up, and he does not ask his father for forgiveness, but only asks his father not to hurt his body because of my anger. ”
Mrs. Wang pouted secretly beside her, she deserved to be the kind of fox, this mouth is powerful.
"You dare to put everything on your sister!" Sheng Hong was so angry that he wanted to raise his foot to kick Sheng Changfeng, but Sheng Changfeng hugged him very tightly, and he couldn't lift it several times.
He was so angry that he smoked, snatched the fan in the hand of the eldest lady and hit Sheng Changfeng's head, scolding while beating: "My Sheng family is a good Erlang who is iron-clad and unyielding, how come you are such a bad seed who has no responsibility!"
Your sister is shameless, she can't see that her sisters are doing well, regardless of the reputation of the Sheng family, she wants to drag the Sheng family to die together, she is at fault, but what about you! You are ashamed of being her brother, not only did you not dissuade her, but you added fuel to the fire for those obstructed things, and almost caused a catastrophe! You still have the face here to say don't make me angry! ”
Although Sheng Hong's family affairs have always been in the lake, that is also the reason why he let it go.
He has been in the officialdom for many years, and he still has this thing in his head!
Sheng Changbai escorted Mo Lan back to the house, and learned from this son that this daughter was disguised as a member of the Sheng family without permission and wanted to find Grandpa Zhang.
In addition to being furious, Sheng Hong directly sent someone to take down the closest maids and scholars around Sheng Changfeng and Mo Lan.
A stick made them confide everything they knew.
"Is the Sheng family missing the money you spent? You just threw away the reputation of our Sheng family for that little bit of farmland?! ”
Sheng Hong's saliva sprayed Sheng Changfeng's face, but Sheng Changfeng continued to send his face up, and tried to quibble: "Father, don't listen to those subordinates talk nonsense, your son is wronged!" ”
"The evidence is conclusive, you dare to quibble! How can you have the slightest repentance! Someone! Drag me down and hit me hard! Sheng Hong's body trembled with anger.
Dong Rong came up with two healthy servants, grabbed Sheng Changfeng's hands and feet, and carried him out directly.
"Father! The son knew he was wrong! I really know it's wrong! ”
Until he was pressed on the torture bench, Sheng Changfeng finally broke the defense completely, and shouted at the top of his voice.
It's a pity that he didn't wait for Sheng Hong's forgiveness and forgiveness.
Fortunately, it was Dong Rong, who had a close relationship with Lin Qige by his father's side, Sheng Changfeng rejoiced in his heart.
"Ahh
When the first board fell on his body, Sheng Changfeng's head was blank at first, and then a severe pain came like a tide, completely drowning him!
Dong Rong, Dong Rong didn't have any strength at all!
Where has Sheng Changfeng suffered like this, and he has already fainted before he has ten boards.
......
Although the Sheng Mansion was not small, Sheng Changfeng screamed so badly that some sounds were heard in several courtyards.
Wei Ruixuan's Rulan wanted to take a look, but Mother Liu, who was specially left by Mrs. Wang, blocked the door with a straight face.
Rulan could only stay obediently.
On the side of Shou'an Hall, Minglan and Mrs. Sheng were not sleepy, and the grandparents and grandchildren were sitting together and talking.
"It's a family tragedy. I said a long time ago that you can't let Mo Lan and Changfeng be raised in Lin Yushuang's yard, but your father only took my heartfelt words as wind in his ears, and now he has caused such evil consequences, which can be regarded as self-inflicted. Mrs. Sheng rarely showed an angry face.
Seeing this, Minglan hurriedly opened her mouth to comfort: "Grandmother, don't be angry with yourself about this. The little guy next to the second brother sent a message to Xiao Tao, saying that the second brother went in time, and didn't let the fourth sister and the little grandfather say a few words, and he pulled the fourth sister back all the way to find a secluded and uninhabited road, and got into the carriage and went home directly. So as long as the people in the house are restrained, the news will not spread to the outside. ”
Mrs. Sheng's face turned a little pale, if what Minglan said was true, then as long as this matter was dealt with behind closed doors, it would not cause a big disaster and ruin the reputation of a woman.
As for the other insider and person involved in this matter, Mrs. Sheng and Minglan were not worried that he would go outside and say more.
Sheng Fu asked someone to go and talk back to Mrs. Wu in the morning and agreed to the marriage.
Zhang Sheng's two families are about to become in-laws, and at such a critical moment, Grandpa Zhang is the last person who wants this matter to make a storm in Tokyo.
In fact, there are people from the Zhang family watching outside several gates of the Sheng family, and the subordinates who go out are all being monitored.
The Sheng family is a big basket full of holes, and the subordinates are not strict, so He Tian has to take extra steps to take precautions.
Whoever dares to say more than one sentence will knock out the big teeth in his mouth.
"Thanks to you, if you hadn't kept an eye on this, you wouldn't have been able to find out that this girl Mo Lan was so bold and reckless, and she actually disguised herself as the maid beside Changfeng and left the mansion. There are also a lot of cypresses at home, if I let the eldest lady go to the horse farm to bring her back, I really can't rest assured. Mrs. Sheng looked at Minglan and praised.
Minglan smiled lightly: "I think it's also blessed by God." Xiao Tao and I were walking on the road, and happened to bump into Yun Zhi and Lu Chong beside the fourth sister, the two looked panicked, and when they saw me and Xiao Tao, they hurriedly took a detour, and the granddaughter became puzzled.
I was worried that something happened to the fourth sister who missed her little mother, so she wanted to go to Lin Qi Pavilion to go around, but the people in the courtyard didn't even want to report it, only saying that the fourth sister was sick and had rested, and her granddaughter felt that something was wrong. ”
"So then you hurriedly ran back and asked me to send someone to Lin Qi Pavilion to check, and only then did I expose their lies. I thought of Changfeng and Grandpa Zhang going to the polo field together, and reminded me to send someone to find Changbai, and Changbai arrived in time to prevent Mo Lan from causing a bigger disaster. Is it? Mrs. Sheng glanced at Minglan deeply.
Minglan felt that she was stripped naked in front of Mrs. Sheng, and the careful thoughts that she carefully hid were revealed.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it from her grandmother, Minglan could only stick out her tongue and say, "Okay, I won't hide it from my grandmother." The fourth sister's thoughts were not hidden in front of me and Rulan, so I knew that she had always felt that she could marry into the British government, but now her hope has been disappointed, and the fifth sister she is most unaccustomed to has become.
The fourth sister is open-minded.... is not very lenient, so this matter is inevitably lingering and has become a demon in her heart.
In addition, Lin Xiaoniang doesn't know where she is now, and no one is persuaded to stop her by the fourth sister's side, so her granddaughter is worried that the fourth sister will be impulsive and do something that everyone doesn't want to see, so she spent some silver and found a mother-in-law who cooks meals in the small kitchen of Lin Qige.
The mother-in-law got my money, and she was quite attentive to her work, so she secretly went to find Dan Tang at noon, saying that the fourth sister did not pass the meal, I felt that it was wrong, and I took a look over there, and looked at the reaction of the people in the courtyard, and I guessed that the fourth sister was not in the house.
The fourth sister risked her father's wrath to leave the house, and I couldn't think of what she was doing except to find the little grandfather. ”
These words were still a little restrained, and the experience of being a child made Minglan always wary of the people on Lin Qige's side.
She has always been stingy and speculates on the thoughts of several masters in that courtyard with the greatest malice.
Paying close attention to Lin Qige's movements is something she is used to doing all year round, but after Mrs. Wu came to the door, this attention was instantly raised to an unprecedented height.
She knew in her heart that a proud woman like Mo Lan, who thought highly of herself, would not easily accept her fate.
However, this is about her marriage with her fifth sister.
Since she was a child, she has let Mo Lan do everything, but this time, she wants to fight for herself.
She doesn't want to, and she won't let it.
Mrs. Sheng nodded slowly, her eyes drooped, and she smiled at the steaming pear soup on the table.
This granddaughter didn't tell her the truth.
But she was so happy that the wrinkles on her face rolled into a ball.
It is not easy for a woman to be alive, and she has to fight for herself when she should fight for herself.
Her teaching in the past few years has not been in vain.
"Come, help me through."
"Yes, grandmother."
Minglan helped her grandmother to the cabinet next to the bed, watched her grandmother unlock the lock, and took out a small wooden box.
Then he helped his grandmother back to the table.
Mrs. Sheng opened the box, counted the things inside, and said: "These are the dowries I prepared for you, although the Zhang family is not the kind of mean family, and you married a concubine Teng, you can also be regarded as half a big lady, and the house will not shorten your use."
But the dowry list is thicker, and you will be more comfortable in the future.
The housekeepers and mothers-in-law in those houses are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they have to make money.
I don't know how many dowry gifts the Zhang family will send, and how many will fall into your hands, I have to think about it for you.
Come, without further ado, I'll tell you about your dowry.
This gouache shop is on the east side...."
Minglan watched her grandmother take a contract of land, shop, and Zhuangzi, and introduced it to her like a number of treasures.
In the candlelight, her beautiful eyes shone with some sparkles.
.......
Living under the same roof, the joys and sorrows of people are not connected.
In the ancestral hall with bright candles, Mo Lan faced the tablets of the ancestors of the Sheng family, and under the light of the fire, it was an expressionless face.
There is no sadness or joy in his eyes, but there is a dead silence and despair.
Sheng Changfeng's screams can also be vaguely heard here, Mo Lan does not have a trace of heart and unbearable, but it is pleasant to listen to.
It's a pity that the good news didn't last long, and after a while, there was no sound.
"Mud, if you really can't support the wall." Mo Lan said in his heart.
Chirping.
The door of the ancestral hall was open, and Sheng Hong walked in with an angry face, and Mrs. Wang also wanted to follow, but Sheng Hong suddenly turned to look at her.
Mrs. Wang was startled, and the right foot that was about to step out was retracted.
forcibly squeezed out a smile, but before she could say a word, Sheng Hong directly closed the door and stopped her outside the ancestral hall.
Mrs. Wang: ... It's so angry!
But she didn't dare to be angry, the fire above Sheng Hong's head was about to burn half of the sky now, where did she dare to provoke it.
I could only hold my sulking breath and turn around and walk out, which was really annoying!
These two bastards joined forces to think about the bad marriage of her daughter, and they didn't even give a chance to go in and scold a few words to vent.
On the side of the door, Sheng Hong didn't care about the thoughts of Mrs. Wang.
He looked at Mo Lan, who had always had his back to him, and his eyes were full of anger and grief, both puzzled and lost.
He asked himself that his love for Mo Lan was not low, for example, Lan and Minglan had more girls, and they were one point less than Hua Lan.
But Hua Lan is his first child, the flesh of his heart and liver, Mo Lan can be similar to Hua Lan in his heart, which already shows how much he loves her.
But it was this daughter who did such a dirty thing, so that he and the entire Sheng family were disgraced.
If it weren't for Bai Ge'er's time, the girls of the Sheng family would have to go to the river!
Taking a deep breath, Sheng Hong said with an angry voice: "I've been in for so long, don't you have a word you want to say to your father?" ”
Mo Lan still turned her back to Sheng Hong, and said calmly: "What does the father want to hear from his daughter?" Want to hear her daughter repent, cry and cry to her father to admit her mistakes and beg for mercy, and beg her father for mercy? If so, the daughter can only disappoint the father. ”
"You've made such a big mistake that you don't have any repentance?" Sheng Hong couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Mo Lan in shock: "Mo'er, when did you become such a selfish and heartless person, so strange that it makes your father feel terrible!" ”
"Selfish, unsentimental?" Mo Lan repeated mockingly, and then continued: "The matter has come to this, and my daughter also knows that she has completely broken off her fate with the British government, so there is no need to pretend to be well-behaved in front of her father." ”
When she was forcibly escorted back by Sheng Changbai, she heard from him that Sheng Hong had already asked people to reply and agreed to the marriage.
After getting the reply from the Sheng family, it is not far from His Majesty's will to give marriage.
Even if the Zhang family changes their minds temporarily, the Sheng family can no longer agree to marry her.
Sheng Hong is willing, but Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Sheng can't pass the two levels.
She is looking forward to A-Niang being by her side at this time, with A-Niang planning for her, she can still have some hope, but where is A-Niang now?
Nobody knows.
In this family, she has no help left.
As for the last fight, it was even more ridiculous, after kneeling in the ancestral hall for so long, she hadn't figured out what went wrong.
She held back her stomach for a while, and then she got up, and it all turned into nothing in her stomach.
Thinking of this, Mo Lan finally turned around, looked up at Sheng Hong, and mocked: "If there is a father, there must be a daughter." The daughter's selfishness and lack of affection are all learned from her father. ”
Sheng Hong's fingers trembled and pointed to his nose, and he said in disbelief: "Me? ”
"Isn't it? Isn't it for his own selfish desires that my father only cares about his own happiness, pampers my aunt, and promotes her, so that the eldest lady suffers from the jokes and eyes of those who don't know how many officials?
It's been almost ten years since my aunt was sold unjustly, and my father said that he would find my aunt back no matter what, but his mind was on marrying the Zhang family.
Father has ever thought that when my father was so happy to climb the high branches that he couldn't sleep, my aunt was living a life under the fence, how many hardships she had suffered, how many tears she shed, and hoped that her husband could save her from the sea of suffering as soon as possible.
When it comes to injustice, daughters are really inferior to fathers. ”
Sheng Hong's face turned from yellow to pale, and his eyes were about to fall out.
He was just about to open his mouth to denounce, but the anger in his chest surged up, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The blood landed accurately on Mo Lan's face, wetting her eyes.
Mo Lan looked at the scene in front of him that seemed to be covered with a layer of blood, and Sheng Hong, who was slowly falling backwards, and suddenly smiled.
The sound of Sheng Hong's landing alarmed the people outside.
Hurried footsteps sounded, and the door of the ancestral hall opened.
"Official!"
