Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 224 The Incident
Hualan wanted to go back to the Sheng family not only to tell her grandmother the good news Yuan Wenshao told her.

I also want to go back and see Mrs. Wang, because the Wang Kang family has been officially engaged years ago and will be hiring in a few days.

The invitations had been sent two days ago. Hua Lan was worried that her mother would not be able to think about it, so she wanted to go back and have a look.

Yuan Wenshao and Hualan's family of four came to Sheng's house. As soon as they got off the carriage, they were greeted by Mrs. Wang who was waiting at the door after receiving the news.

"The child is so young and the weather is still cold. Why did you take him out?"

Mrs. Wang scolded while taking Brother Xian from Hua Lan.

"Erlang, you don't know how to talk about her."

"Mother-in-law, Hua Lan hasn't been out for nearly half a year. She's always at home, and I'm afraid she'll get bored." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

"Just pamper her."

Mrs. Wang seemed to be blaming her words, but the smile on her face showed that she was very happy.

She is very satisfied with Yuan Wenshao, her son-in-law. Not only does he have a good family background, but he is also capable. He is now a hereditary marquis.

The most important thing is that Yuan Wenshao has always been very kind to Hua Lan, and the couple is very harmonious. Even though Hua Lan did not give birth to a son in the past few years, Yuan Wenshao did not change at all.

This situation is very rare. In general, even if the first child is not a son, let alone a few years, the parents will start to take concubines.

For someone like Hualan, who has been married for several years and has only one daughter, life in her husband's family would normally be very difficult.

However, in those years, Yuan Wenshao always protected Hua Lan and comforted Hua Lan when Hua Lan was anxious.

Hualan told her in private that she tried to help Yuan Wenshao take concubines several times, but Yuan Wenshao refused.

It is precisely because of various reasons that Madam Wang is very satisfied with this son-in-law. Although he is closer than his son, it is not much different.

"Okay, come in quickly, don't let my precious grandson get cold." Mrs. Wang held the child in her arms and greeted the two of them to go in.

"Mom, where is Ru Lan?" Hua Lan asked with some confusion.

Ru Lan is her biological sister. When she learned that she was coming back, she had to come to greet her.

"That girl doesn't know what's going on. Something has been wrong these days." Mrs. Wang said.

Hua Lan said worriedly: "Mom, isn't it because she felt bad because she learned that Wang Kang's family was engaged?"

"I guess so, so I didn't let anyone call her." Mrs. Wang sighed.

"It's okay, I'll go see her later." Hua Lan said.

"By the way, I heard that the Marquis Mansion, which was a reward from the government, is under renovation. When are you going to move there?" Madam Wang asked.

"I asked before. It will take a few months before the repairs are completed. There will definitely be a banquet by then. I plan to move there in March or April. The weather will be warmer then, and it will be convenient to host banquets." Hua Lan said.

Their family should have held a banquet when their son was born in the full moon and when he was granted the title of Marquis, but because the late emperor passed away at that time, the banquet could not be held, so there was no way to do it.

Moving to a new home is definitely something that needs to be done this time, so we just put it all together.

"Well, you tell me in advance when the time comes, and I will help you organize it." Mrs. Wang smiled.

While talking, I came to Shou'an Hall.

"Meet grandma."

Entering the main hall, Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan saluted the old lady.

"do it."

The old lady waved her hand, looked at Mrs. Wang and smiled: "Quickly, bring the child over and let me take a look."

"Mom, look how chubby this child is and how cute he is. He is fatter than all our brothers." Mrs. Wang smiled and held the child in front of the old lady.

The old lady carefully took the child and said with a smile: "Indeed, it is heavier than Brother Quan, and he doesn't recognize life. Look, he is still smiling at me."

"Mom, where is my nephew? I brought him a gift this time." Hua Lan asked.

Heidegger gave birth to the baby a few months earlier than her, but she was already close to giving birth at that time and did not come over.

During the Chinese New Year, because Brother Xian was still young, she was worried and didn't even return to her parents' home. Yuan Wenshao went to deliver the gift alone.

Therefore, she has not even seen Chang Bai and Hai's children yet.

"I asked someone to ask before and said he was going to sleep again. Now I'm going to ask someone to check if he's awake."

Mrs. Wang called a maid and asked her to go to Haishi's yard and ask her if the child woke up, let Haishi bring him over.

As soon as the maid left, Minglan walked in.

First he saluted a few people, then came to the old lady, smiled and pinched Brother Xian's face gently, and said: "Brother Xian, my name is Sixth Aunt."

"go with!"

The old lady smiled and patted Minglan's hand away and said, "Your hands are so cold that you are not afraid of freezing him. He is so young, how can he call someone?"

"Grandma, I was holding Tang Pozi just now, and my hands were warm." Minglan said.

Hua Lan originally wanted to tell her grandmother about Gu Tingye's request for marriage from the official, but when Ming Lan came, she was not comfortable speaking up.

After chatting for a while, Heide came with the child in his arms.

"Brothers and sisters, please let me hug you." Hua Lan saw Haishi and quickly stepped forward to take the child.

As soon as the child came into Hualan's hands, he puckered his lips and wanted to cry. Perhaps he smelled something similar to his mother's, so he stopped and looked straight at Hualan with a pair of dark eyes.

"Sister, it seems that this child likes you. Normally, except for me and the nanny, he would cry when he hugs him, but he made me pregnant." Haishi was a little surprised to see that her son didn't cry.

"Haha, I was the one who took care of Changbai when he was a child. Look at this child, he looks exactly like Changbai when he was a child."

Hua Lan smiled and held the child, came to sit in front of Yuan Wenshao, took out a jade pendant from her body, and hung it carefully around her neck.

"big sister."

At this moment, Ru Lan ran in furiously.

Mrs. Wang said with a face: "Look at you like this, how do you look like a girl?"

Rulan quickly bowed politely and said, "Mom, eldest sister is here, and you didn't let anyone notify me."

"You're still blaming me. In the past few days, I asked you to come and have dinner with me, but you didn't even come. I thought you were sick." Mrs. Wang said angrily.

Rulan's face turned red and she said, "It's not because the weather is cold and I don't want to move."

She was extremely happy when she learned that Mo Lan was going to marry a poor scholar.

Wen Yanjing often came to Sheng's house to borrow books and ask for advice. Once her handkerchief was blown away by the wind, and Wen Yanjing happened to see her.

After going back and forth, she found that she seemed to like Wen Yanjing. Seeing that the imperial examination was about to start in two or three months, she thought of Minglan giving her second brother a pair of kneepads when he took the imperial examination.

After the second brother came back, he praised Minglan and said that the knee pads were very useful.

Ru Lan came up with the idea of ​​making a pair of knee pads for Wen Yanjing.

Knee braces are not difficult to make, but they are very difficult for Ru Lan.

In the past, when Wang asked her to be a female celebrity, she would either deal with it or ask Minglan to do it for her.

Now that she was doing it for Wen Yanjing, she naturally couldn't ask Minglan to help, but she wasn't very satisfied with what she was doing. She had been hiding in the house learning needlework these days.

Mrs. Wang didn't think much about it, she glared at her and said, "Look how lazy you are. You will have to suffer when you get married in the future." "Mother~" Ru Lan gave a displeased voice and ran to tease her. Brother Xian has gone.

Mrs. Wang wanted to say something else, but at this time Mother Liu walked in with a panic look on her face.

She didn't even bother to salute, and hurriedly walked to Mrs. Wang's side, whispered a few words into her ear.

"what!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately took possession of her.

"Wow~"

Because Mrs. Wang's voice was too loud, the two children were frightened and started crying.

"What are you so surprised about?" the old lady said displeasedly, and then she coaxed the child in her arms.

"Mom, something big happened. Mo Lan..." Mrs. Wang was panicking. As soon as she started to speak, she thought that Yuan Wenshao was still here and there were many servants in the house, so she quickly stopped.

When the old lady saw Mrs. Wang being so panicked, she knew something big must have happened.

"Mom Fang, take everyone out and leave. No one is allowed in without my permission," the old lady said.

"Yes." Fang's mother responded.

"Grandma, mother-in-law, I'm a little tired from sitting. Let's go for a walk." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Well, go ahead. I'll ask Chang Feng to accompany you around." The old lady said.

"No need, grandma. I'm familiar with this place from time to time. Just go around by yourself." After Yuan Wenshao finished speaking, he bowed and left.

From Mrs. Wang's expression just now and the fact that she mentioned Mo Lan, Yuan Wenshao guessed whether the incident between Mo Lan and Liang Han still happened.

However, he felt that it was a little impossible. The reason why Mo Lan had an affair with Liang Han was ultimately instigated by Lin Xiaoniang.

Now Lin Xiaoniang has been sent to Zhuangzi early. Without Lin Xiaoniang's instigation and arrangements, Mo Lan, a girl who has not yet left the court, would not be so bold.

After Yuan Wenshao left, the old lady said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what happened?"

"Mother, Mo Lan is pregnant." Mrs. Wang said with an ugly face.

"what?"

Even the old lady, who had experienced strong winds and waves, was shocked when she heard the news.

If Minglan hadn't reacted quickly and reached out to help him, Brother Xian would have fallen out.

However, even Hua Lan, the mother, had no time to take care of her child. She was shocked by the news and her mind went blank.

For a married woman, pregnancy is a great joy, but for a girl who has not left the court to become pregnant, it is a great disaster.

Once word spreads, the reputation of the Sheng family will be tarnished. Rulan and Minglan will not be able to get married, and even Sister Wen will be affected.

It took the old lady a while to regain her composure and said, "What's going on? Is it a mistake?"

"Mother Liu, tell me."

Mrs. Wang didn't know what was going on, so she asked Mother Liu who reported the news.

"The fourth girl has been feeling a little unwell these past few days. Today she invited a doctor. When the doctor took her pulse, it turned out to be a happy pulse. The fourth girl wanted to hide the matter, so she asked the maid Yun Zai beside her to give the doctor a sum of money to ask him not to mess around. Said. When Yun Zai sent the doctor away, he kept telling the doctor not to talk nonsense, but I overheard it. I knew that the news should not be leaked, so I had the doctor arrested, so I came to report to the lady. " Mother Liu said.

After hearing this, the old lady's eyes darkened and she fainted.

"grandmother!"

"Mother!"

Everyone hurriedly gathered around.

Fortunately, Minglan had taken Brother Xian from the old lady's arms before.

It took a while for the old lady to wake up. Looking at the worried people, she struggled to sit up.

"Mom, are you okay? Why don't you find someone to ask a doctor to take a look." Madam Wang asked with concern.

The old lady shook her head and said: "Mother Liu, go and tell me that no one in the family is allowed to leave the house. Anyone who violates this rule will be beaten to death. Send someone to invite the master and Changbai back."

"Yes!" Mother Liu responded and hurried away.

The old lady looked at the worried Minglan and said, "You and Ru Lan will take Sister Wen's brother Quan and brother Xian down to take care of them. If they are hungry, let Quan's wet nurse work hard and feed them."

After all, the two of them are girls who have not left the court, so it is not suitable to hear too much about this kind of thing.

"Yes!" Minglan and Rulan responded and went down with their children in their arms.

The old lady took a deep breath and said, "Hua Lan, grandma needs your help with something."

"Grandma, just give me whatever you want, no matter what you ask for," Hua Lan said quickly.

"Go and talk to Erlang and ask him to come forward and tell the doctor that this matter must not be leaked out under any circumstances," the old lady said.

Someone must know that the doctor comes to the Sheng family to treat a patient. The Sheng family cannot keep the doctor for too long, otherwise once the doctor's family comes to visit, things will become big.

However, once the doctor is released and he leaks the matter, the reputation of the women of the Sheng family will be completely ruined.

If the Sheng family threatens the doctor, he may not be afraid. Yuan Wenshao is the lord, so if he does it, the effect will be better.

"I'm going right now."

Hualan also knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly went to find Yuan Wenshao.

A stern look flashed in Mrs. Sheng's eyes, and she called Fang's mother in, asking her to bring someone to bring Mo Lan and all the maids around her.

When Mo Lan saw that Yun Zai hadn't come back from seeing the doctor for so long, and when Fang's mother came over, she already knew that the news had been leaked.

She didn't cry or struggle. She followed Fang's mother to Shou'antang with a pale face.

After the old lady asked Fang's mother and the others to step back, she looked at Mo Lan and said sadly: "I have always thought that you are good in nature, but you were taught to be pregnant by Miss Lin. Without Miss Lin, you will become better. Do you know If you do this, once word spreads, not only will the reputation of the Sheng family be ruined, but your reputation will also be ruined."

Mo Lan lowered his head and said nothing, his expression numb.

"With your temperament, you definitely can't do such a thing. Tell me, did Miss Lin instigate you? Whose child is it?" the old lady shouted.

After Mo Lan knew that the incident was leaked, she was already determined to die.

Hearing the old lady's words, there was a wave in the numb eyes. She shook her head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with my little mother. It was all done by me. I made a big mistake and ruined the family tradition of the Sheng family. I am willing to Apologize with death."

"You are still covering up for her at this time. If it weren't for her, how could you, a girl who has not yet left the cabinet, know the whereabouts of Liang Liulang? How could you be so bold?" the old lady shouted.

Although the old lady doesn't care about anything, she basically knows some things at home.

Two months ago, Mo Lan went to see Lin Xiaoniang. A few days after she came back, she went to Sheng Hong to beg her, saying that her mother had killed Wei Xiaoniang. She wanted to go to Sanqing Temple to offer incense to pray for Wei Xiaoniang on the [-]th of every month.

Sheng Hong agreed without much thought.

The old lady knew about this before and didn't think much about it. She thought that Lin Xiaoniang deliberately arranged for Mo Lan to do this just to let Sheng Hong calm down and return to the Sheng family.

After learning about Mo Lan's pregnancy, she connected these things and quickly figured it out.

She could even guess the person Mo Lan was sleeping with.
