Chapter 971 Hua Lan was so angry that she fainted!

After the gifts were brought over, Hua Lan, as the eldest sister, distributed them one by one. The first one was naturally his half-brother.

"Changbai, this is yours. The weather is still a little cold now, so this fox fur shawl will be useful for studying at night!"

"Xiao Rulan, don't look around. These are the best snacks in Bianjing City. I have chosen some for you, but you can't eat them all in one go, otherwise you will get cavities~"

"Chang Feng, this is the brush chosen by my eldest brother-in-law~"

"Mo Lan, here you go~"

"Sister Minglan..."

"Thank you, big sister!" Everyone else thanked them happily, including Sheng Changfeng, who was playing with his head lowered.

When Sheng Hong saw the harmony between his children, he was smiling from ear to ear.

"Hua'er, you're interested~"

"My father-in-law, I have prepared some things for you and my mother-in-law. This is the finest Sichuan brocade, and there are also pearls from Lin'an..."

The couple had a clear division of labor. Hualan was in charge of the children's group, while Yuan Wenshao came to honor Sheng Hong and Mrs. Wang.

Now the atmosphere that was originally a little subtle became lively again. Everyone looked at the gifts happily. Only Lin Sushuang stood there awkwardly because Mr. Yuan ignored her.

Just kidding, you are just a cheap concubine. Even if you are favored again, it has nothing to do with me, Yuan Wenshao, and any more words will make you appear worthless.

"Hong Lang~" Lin Sushuang stretched out her hand and tugged on Sheng Hong's sleeve, whispering with tears in her eyes.

Lao Sheng, who was happily holding the gift, realized that his "Shuang'er" had been neglected and quickly clapped his little hands to express comfort.

Of course, there was no other way. He could treat his wife favorably at home, but he couldn't ask his son-in-law to do anything. He was a noble son and the second son of the Earl's Palace.

If he was asked to give gifts to his concubine, the husband-in-law would probably be in trouble, and might even involve his married daughter.

Lin Sushuang saw that the trick she had always used before didn't work today. She gritted her teeth and looked at Wang Ruofu, who was holding the fine silk and laughing, with envy in her eyes.

Mo Lan is not very happy here either, because she has been favored since she was a child, and due to her education, she has liked to compare herself with Ru Lan, who is her legitimate daughter.

Looking down at a mere hairpin in her hand, and then looking at so many good things from others, she felt that she and her brother were not taken seriously, so she curled her lips in contempt.

But no matter how hard he tried to hide it, he was still just a child after all, and the expression on his face couldn't hide anything.

Hua Lan could tell at a glance that she didn't finish dividing the gifts. Although she didn't want to talk to her, as the eldest sister, she still asked with a smile.

"Mo Lan, don't you like this gift too much? I'll give you another one later!"

"I quite... like it~" But even though he said so, the movements of his hands were very real.

I saw that I deliberately pretended to be careless and dropped the hairpin in my hand to the ground.

He said with a half-smile, "Sister, I'm really sorry!"

Hua Lan glanced at the hairpin on the ground and said calmly: "It's okay, be more careful in the future~"

After that, he didn't even look at her. Who could hide that little trick? He felt in his heart that he was being sentimental and shouldn't pay attention to this mother and daughter. They were just treating her like a donkey with good intentions.

Mo Lan just seemed to have forgotten the hairpin on the ground and had no intention of picking it up. She just stood beside her mother minding her own business.

Hua Lan was a little unhappy now. She didn't know why during this period, but she always felt like there was a fire in her heart. She was usually the elder in the Yuan family, so she kept enduring it.

So he said with cold eyes: "Since my sister doesn't like it, don't throw it on the ground~"

After saying that, he bent down and picked up the hairpin directly, handed it to his personal maid Caiyun, and asked her to go out and throw it outside.

Originally, it was okay to come here, but Lin Sushuang on the side insisted on acting like a monster. He probably didn't turn around, thinking that he was still in Yangzhou. He knelt on the ground with a plop, and at the same time his face was full of fear, and his eyes were filled with tears for an instant, and he was crying with his shoulders shrugged, as if he had been wronged.

She cried loudly: "Big girl, please don't behave like a child. This is because Mo Lan is ignorant. I will educate her well later~"

"Please take into account that I have taken care of the master for so many years, and I have worked hard without any credit, so please spare Mo'er this time!"

Whether it was big or small, everyone in the room was so happy just now. Most of them didn't know what was going on when they saw this unexpected incident.

Sheng Hong, who was far away, just saw the hairpin being dropped on the ground, and then the eldest daughter asked someone to throw it out, and then Lin Xiaoniang knelt on the ground.

That pitiful look really made people feel distressed, so he quickly stepped forward to help him.

At the same time, he said unhappily: "Hua'er, what are you doing? It's just a hairpin. How could it lead to this?"

Hua Lan opened her mouth with a look of astonishment on her face, looking at her father who didn't know what to say, and her hands were trembling with anger.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Wenshao came over to help his wife, with a somewhat dissatisfied look in his eyes. What kind of thing is this father-in-law's house? It's a mess. He will have to come back less often if nothing happens in the future.

"Madam, calm down, let's sit down and rest for a while!"

"Huh~" Hua Lan sat on the chair and stroked his chest. At the same time, he felt some abdominal pain in his stomach, and subconsciously covered it with his hands.

Mrs. Wang immediately exploded. She came over and yelled at Lin Sushuang: "You cheap maid, get out of here right now!"

"What kind of place is this? How dare a concubine of yours break into the house. As the eldest sister, my Hua'er prepared a gift for her, so why aren't you satisfied?"

"Madam, it's my fault that I failed to discipline the child properly. I will apologize to you and the eldest lady on her behalf~"

Lin Sushuang's current appearance is so pitiful.

"Oh, I'll go~" Now Yuan Wenshao had learned a lot, and he was even a little surprised.

Lin Xiaoniang's ability to confuse right and wrong is indeed remarkable. No wonder she is still favored by her old father-in-law even at the age of twenty-seven or eight.

Speaking of which, she was buried in this small Shengfu, otherwise she would have been able to make a living in the palace.

Chang Feng, who was already 12 years old, somewhat understood some things and stood there without saying anything.

But the 10-year-old Mo Lan ignored her and went directly to stop her in front of her mother, as if she wanted to beat or kill her.

To say that sometimes the most hurtful thing is unintentional, the words "born by a little mother" can be said to have touched a nerve in Sheng Hong, because he is also a concubine.

Seeing the current scene, it instantly reminded him of his childhood. His face became increasingly livid, but he still cared about his son-in-law being beside him.

Suppressing his anger, he said: "Okay, it's just a hairpin. As for mobilizing troops and mobilizing people like this?"

"Officer, that's not the case. Why should she throw the gift that Hua'er worked so hard to prepare on the ground?"

"And what day is it today? It's the first time that my son-in-law comes to the door. She just..."

Mrs. Wang's personality is not suitable for family fights, because she is easy to get into trouble when she disagrees with her, pointing at the mother and daughter and uttering words. Changbai can't stop her even if she wants to.

But Sheng Hong was still caring about face and didn't realize the importance of the matter.

With a livid face, he said: "Can you say a few words less? This is just..."

But before he could finish his words, Hua Lan, who was sitting on the chair here, became more and more anxious as he looked at her. Finally, he fainted with a sudden rush of anger, and subconsciously leaned his head to the right...
