Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 535 Such a Confused Old Father

After An Lan glanced at her own girl, she lowered her head and slowly stood up.

When she said these words just now, she felt aggrieved and wronged for the girl, so she didn't feel how reckless her actions were, but now that she calmed down, An Lan was about to shed cold sweat.

Although she is a favored girl by the girl's side, she is still a servant after all. She dares to insult the master with words despite her status. If the master is angry at this time and drags her out to beat the board, what should I do? ?
Sun Hanshuang looked at An Lan with a pale face, and knew that the girl was scared now, so she held back her smile and continued to talk to An Lan: "I remember that the small kitchen is stewing pigeon soup today, An Lan, your craftsmanship is the best. Okay, you go to the small kitchen and see if the pigeon soup is ready? If it is not, you can help. If it is, then serve it. It is getting late, and it should be At dinner time."

Of course An Lan knew if there was pigeon soup for dinner tonight. Now that she suddenly heard the girl instructing her to help in the small kitchen, she knew that the girl was helping her secretly and asked her to leave quickly; thinking of the girl's consideration for her Carefully, An Lan looked at Sun Hanshuang gratefully, and after answering yes, she quickly left.

When only Sun Hanshuang and Sun Zhong, the father and daughter, were left in the small study, Sun Hanshuang spoke up and pleaded for An Lan: "Father, An Lan didn't mean to contradict her father, please don't blame her."

Sun Zhongchang sighed, and then he had the courage to talk to the eldest daughter: "The little maid next to you is still a loyal servant. Seeing that my father wants to wrong you, I don't even care about the status and rush out. Speak for you, Shuang'er, it can be seen that you are such a generous child, otherwise, how could you have such a close servant to serve by your side? It is because the father is getting old, and now he is confused. Yes! Father understands best. Your character is indeed dull, but you still have this family in your heart. How could you just sit on the sidelines when something like this happened at the poetry reciting meeting? You must have tried your best to prevent the disaster It's just a pity that Shan'er is not as sensible as you, and because of a moment of impatience, she caused a catastrophe and offended the Gu family and the Lu family. It seems that all these years, being a father really loved that child in vain, and she actually made her character Raised so arrogantly, this is the disaster of today."

Sun Hanshuang didn't want to see her old father worrying about these things in the backyard, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "Father, don't blame yourself. In fact, Shan'er is just a little arrogant. As long as she guides her and persuades her well, she will definitely realize her weakness with her wisdom." Wrong. Father, the reason why my daughter invited you here today is actually for this purpose. The daughter knows that Shan’er is favored by her father, and even if she wants to reprimand her, she must get his father’s consent. So the daughter dared to ask her father for a Promise. Ask the father to promise to let his daughter handle this matter, including educating and punishing Shan'er."

Sun Zhong looked at Sun Hanshuang and said, "I entrust this matter to you. My father naturally thinks it is the most appropriate. You are at the scene of today's poetry reciting meeting, and you know the situation at that time best, so it is absolutely right to entrust it to you." There are no two candidates. But, to punish Shan'er, do you want to..."

Seeing that his father was still protecting Sun Yueshan, Sun Hanshuang faintly felt a bit of anger: "Father, I know you love Shan'er, and I know that you love Aunt Yun very much, but Father, do you think today's incident is a trivial matter? Strictly To put it bluntly, Shan'er is no longer young, and it is not too much to discuss relatives at her age. But today she instigated the Lin family sisters to make things difficult for Miss Lu Si and Miss Gu San in front of everyone. Do you think it is her Is it something that should be done at this age? If this matter is spread, how will people outside think of my daughter from the Sun family? Does everyone think that the daughter of my Sun family is not a scholarly family at all? A talented woman with both virtue and virtue, but villains who are good at studying tricks? More importantly, father, don’t you realize how your future will be affected by offending the Gu and Lu families?”

Hearing these words, Sun Zhong was stunned as if he had received a blow to the head.

Yes!He only cared about protecting that rebellious girl, but forgot how much impact this rebellious girl would have on the Sun House and how much trouble it would bring to his future if she did such a thing today.

Sun Hanshuang originally had some expectations for his father in his heart, but now, when he saw that he was still so confused and only knew how to protect Sun Yueshan, those expectations had disappeared, and turned into a trace of ironic smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Father, do you know what the sisters of the Lin family said about the fourth girl of the Lu family today? They said that she is the daughter of a reckless man, and she is not qualified to appear at the poetry reciting meeting of the Sun family."

Hearing this, Sun Zhong immediately slapped the table and stood up, angrily said: "Nonsense, how can those girls who speak without restraint even say such indiscriminate words? Then General Lu is the grand master in front of the palace. General, an official holds an important position, and even his father has to pay for his courtesy when he sees him. The Lin family of the Hanlin Academy is just a small third rank. In front of the Lu family, they are not even worthy of carrying shoes for others. How dare they ruin Lu like this? Mansion, what is this if it’s courting death?”

Sun Hanshuang sneered, and replied: "Yes! A Lin family who is not even worthy of carrying shoes, dare to slander the general in front of the palace as a reckless man in public? It's a big joke. It's just father, do you know? The Lu family is missing now. This account will be credited to the Lin family, and it is very likely that it will be credited to us."

Sun Zhong panicked, spread his hands and explained: "How is this possible? It is obvious that the two girls from the Lin family said such words, why should they be recorded on the head of my Sun family?"

Sun Hanshuang said: "Father, could it be that he forgot? My daughter told you just now that the two sisters of the Lin family said in public that the reason why they targeted the Lu family was because they followed Shan'er's wishes. In other words, from their mouths Shaner taught them what they said. After Lu Yingying heard it, she would naturally put this account on our heads, wouldn't she? More importantly, father, you should know that Lu Mansion and Pingnanhou The mansion is related by in-laws. Lu Yingying, the fourth daughter of the Lu Mansion, was betrothed to General Mu, the heir of the Pingnan Hou Mansion of Mengzhou since she was a child. Wan Dajun, even the imperial court did not dare to neglect Pingnanhou's mansion. Now, Shan'er publicly insulting General Lu not only made Lu's mansion feel displeased with our Sun's mansion, but in the future, even Marquis of Pingnan The government will treat our Sun family badly because of this matter."
