Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 83

When it comes to judging people, Mrs. Sheng is no worse than Sheng Hong.

Over the years, she has known Sheng Hong better than Sheng Hong himself.

Sheng Hong actually knew everything, but he deliberately pretended not to know.

Sheng Hong must have guessed that Wei Xiaoniang's death had something to do with Lin Xiaoniang. He seemed very angry when he punished his servants, but in fact he was just doing Lin Xiaoniang's aftermath.

But it was hard for her to say all this in front of Hua Lan.

"Don't worry, your mother will be fine." The old lady patted Hualan's hand.

Although Mrs. Wang and Xiaoniang Lin often make troubles, neither of them takes advantage.

Sheng Hong also knew that if he wanted to be an official, he must not have any problems with his personal ethics. Although he doted on his concubine, he did not dare to destroy his wife.

……

"Snapped!"

Sheng Hong grabbed the tea cup on the table, smashed it on the ground, and said sternly: "You still said it has nothing to do with you?"

"Honglang." Lin Xiaoniang said in a pitiful tone: "Honglang, I am the official of the people's parents. I am usually a half-hearted thief, but I still have to provide evidence and let people argue. What's more, I have served the master for so many years and raised a pair of children. Even if you let me die now, you have to die to understand, right?"

When Mrs. Wang saw Sheng Hong getting so angry, she had an excited smile on her face, and she didn't even notice that what Sheng Hong threw was her favorite blue and white jade cup.

However, when she saw Lin Xiaoniang's behavior, her angry face was ugly, and she said: "You are the housekeeper, and Wen Po is not here. When you were in charge, the officials tacitly allowed you to buy a lot of property. Don't think I don't know. You are so It’s too much money, how many people will you hire?”

Liu's mother heard this and thought to herself, "It's not good. We shouldn't mention this at this time."

Sure enough, Sheng Hong's expression was a little unkind when he heard the words.

When Lin Xiaoniang saw this scene, a hint of joy flashed deep in her eyes, and she said: "The master and the eldest lady are not in the house, how can I dare to invite outsiders into the house. How many of the servants in the family are willing to listen to me? I am also a woman, and I know that women It was not easy to give birth, and I could not count on the stable mothers prepared at home. I thought that many of the ladies who were married to the wife would know how to deliver babies, so I went to beg and beg, but no one paid any attention to me. I have done everything I can do. "

Sheng Hong looked at Mrs. Wang when she heard the words, which made Mrs. Wang go to see Mama Liu in a heartbeat.

Mother Liu shook her head slightly and told her not to say more.

After all, those women were Mrs. Wang's dowry. Even though Mrs. Wang didn't say anything special, they turned a blind eye when Wei Xiaoniang was giving birth. As the master, Mrs. Wang couldn't escape the accusation of lax discipline.

"So, you don't have any problems at all? What a sharp tongue." Mrs. Wang curled her lips.

Lin Xiaoniang knelt on the ground, walked a few steps to Sheng Hong, raised her head, her beautiful face was covered with tears, she choked up and said: "If you want to say that I am not at fault at all, it is not. I am timid and afraid of getting into trouble. I was afraid that something might go wrong when Wei Xiaoniang gave birth, and I was afraid of taking responsibility, so I didn't go over to command the maidservant when Wei Xiaoniang was giving birth. But if I say that I want to harm Wei Xiaoniang, I absolutely dare not admit it."

"After all, I have read books. How could I do such a thing? Besides, Wei Xiaoniang and I are both concubines. What's the benefit of harming her to me?"

When Sheng Hong saw Lin Xiaoniang with tears streaming down her face, she felt very distressed and her anger dissipated a lot.

Mrs. Wang became furious when she heard the words: "What do you mean? What do you mean by harming Miss Wei? Is there any benefit for me to kill Miss Wei?"

"I didn't say that." Lin Xiaoniang said.

"You didn't say it, but that's what you mean inside and outside the words!" Mrs. Wang wanted to tear her mouth open.

"Enough!" Sheng Hong shouted: "Young master is still at the mansion, and I will go to Bianjing soon, don't you think it's shameful enough, and you want me to be dismissed by the officials to be happy?"

Both Lin Xiaoniang and Mrs. Wang kept silent.

Sheng Hong said to the maid and mother-in-law: "Bring Miss Lin to Lin Qige."

After speaking, he looked at the two servant girls on the ground, and said coldly: "As for the two of them who gossip, take them down to recuperate, and give them to Ren Yazi to sell in a few days."

"If you continue to inform me, if anyone dares to talk nonsense in the future, everything will be sold."

"Yes!"

The maid woman outside the house came in and dragged Xiaoniang Lin and the two maids out.

When Lin Xiaoniang was being taken away, she gave Mrs. Wang a proud look when Sheng Hong wasn't paying attention. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she almost had a fit.

Fortunately, Liu's mother stopped her.

After Lin Xiaoniang left, Sheng Hong was silent for a while and said, "Lin Xiaoniang is just a concubine. Why do you keep arguing with her? You will lose the eldest lady's face in vain."

"Concubine, face?" Mrs. Wang heard this and sneered: "The officials went out to inquire, whose concubine has property and career, raises children by his side, and has the life and deeds of the maid and mother-in-law in his hands? Except there is no one. In terms of status, she lives a more dignified life than I, a eldest lady. As for face, since she is just a concubine butler, I have lost all my face a long time ago."

Hearing the words, Sheng Hong persuaded in a soft voice: "I know that you have suffered some grievances over the years. Don't worry, from now on, I will not indulge Miss Lin anymore. You are the elder and she is the younger. You are my matchmaker. The eldest lady hired by San Shu Liuli, the person who will share the incense of the ancestral hall with me a hundred years later, Miss Lin, even if she turns the world upside down, she will never be able to surpass you. From tomorrow on, let her come over to say hello to you every day. Water serves.”

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed and asked, "Are you really willing to give up?"

Sheng Hong said: "There is nothing to be reluctant to part with. The Sheng family is the most important thing in everything. No matter how serious Miss Lin is, can it be more important than the dignity of the Sheng family and the whole family?"

This sentence can be regarded as Sheng Hong's heartfelt words. In Yangzhou, he prefers concubines a little bit, but it doesn't hurt.Once he arrived in Bianjing, he really didn't dare to mess around with those officials staring at him.

"However, you have to be upright, otherwise how can you make people obey?" Sheng Hong was worried that Mrs. Wang would make things difficult for Lin Xiaoniang, so in the end he reluctantly gave a few words.

"Officials don't worry, as long as she behaves, I will naturally not bully her. I am a straight lady, and I will not be jealous of a concubine's room." said Mrs. Wang.

……

The events of the day seemed to be calmed down easily by Sheng Hong. Mrs. Wang smiled and directed her subordinates to pack things every day.

Sheng Hong went to the government office every day to hand over affairs and attended various banquets.

It didn't seem to be affected in the slightest by the events of that day.

However, the impact was still there. Before, Sheng Hong would go back to visit Minglan and Changlin every day.

But after the rumors that day, he would visit Minglan every day when he went to pay his respects to the old lady, and never saw Changlin again.

However, after Hua Lan's persuasion, Minglan started to eat and stayed in Chang Lin's room every day.

On this day, Wei Xiaoniang's younger sister rushed to Sheng's house, first went to Wei Xiaoniang's mourning hall and cried for a long time, then was led to meet Ming Lan and Chang Lin.

On the third day after Aunt Wei arrived at the Sheng family, Miss Wei was buried.

After burying her sister, Aunt Wei made a big fuss at Sheng's house and insisted on bringing Minglan and Chang Lin back to Wei's house.

Sheng Hong and Wang personally came forward to persuade them, but Aunt Wei scolded them all back.

He also said that if they did not agree, they would sue the Sheng family for disregarding human life.

Sheng Hong is now on the occasion of being promoted, if Aunt Wei makes such a fuss, he will be in big trouble.

But there was no way Sheng Hong would agree to let her take Minglan and Changlin away. After all, they were the blood of the Sheng family, so how could they escape.

However, Aunt Wei didn't trust the Sheng family at all, so she killed Ming Lan and Chang Lin, so she went to sue the officials.

Sheng Hong had no choice but to ask Yuan Wenshao to help persuade him.

Although Yuan Wenshao is the son-in-law of the Sheng family, he is not from the Sheng family after all. In addition, Aunt Wei knew that Hua Lan had come back to persuade Ming Lan, and she often asked Ming Lan how to take good care of her.

Therefore, Hualan is the only Sheng family member that Aunt Wei has a good impression of.

It would have been most appropriate for Hua Lan to persuade him.

But Hua Lan is pregnant, if there is an accident, it will be troublesome.

"If my uncle comes to persuade me, don't waste your words. How can there be such a father in the world? His back house is not clean, my sister is giving birth, and all the wives are not silent, and there are people who prevent me from hiring a doctor, or... My niece, a six-year-old child, ran away through a dog hole and hired a doctor. Afterwards, he believed the rumors and felt that the child my sister had given birth to was so cruel that she didn’t even want to see him. In this case, why should we tell the truth? Lan and Changlin stay in the Sheng family?"

In a side hall of the Sheng family, Aunt Wei looked at Yuan Wenshao and said sadly.

Aunt Wei actually didn't know much about Wei Xiaoniang's death. She only knew something about it from Minglan's mouth. She felt something was wrong, but there was no evidence.

The reason why she made a fuss was because of Sheng Hong's attitude towards Chang Lin.

His sister tried her best to help the Sheng family grow, but Sheng Hong not only failed to reflect on the problems he had in running the family, but also believed in rumors, thinking that the child's fate would overwhelm the mother and father, and he read so many sage books in vain.

What made Aunt Wei the most angry was that she proposed to take Minglan and Changlin back to Wei's house. Sheng Hong didn't agree, just forget it, and even said that Changlin could be sent to Youyang's hometown to be raised by the big house.

In this way, Aunt Wei's idea of ​​taking Ming Lan and Chang Lin away was further strengthened.

Yuan Wenshao had a headache when he heard this. To be honest, what his father-in-law did was indeed a bit unfair.

"Aunt Wei, have you thought about the burden of bringing Minglan and Changlin back and having two more children?" Yuan Wenshao said.

"Although our Wei family is not as good as the Sheng family, we still have a shop and some land at home. They will definitely not starve their siblings. It is better than staying in the Sheng family and being unpopular." Aunt Wei said.

She and Wei Xiaoniang were the only two sisters in the Wei family, and the two sisters were struggling to survive, so Wei Xiaoniang was sold to the Sheng family as concubines.

She gave all the money to Aunt Wei and bought a shop and some properties in her hometown.

Aunt Wei later recruited a door-to-door husband-in-law. It was precisely because she felt that she owed her sister that she couldn't bear the eyes of her sister's two children in the Sheng family.

"Aunt Wei, although you can support me, what about the future? Minglan will marry when she grows up, right? Changlin will have to study in the future. You must always consider their future, right?" Yuan Wenshao said.
