"what?"
Sheng Hong, who originally wanted to protect Molan and her daughter, was suddenly startled and looked at Zhou Fu and Zhou Ji. As expected, he saw Zhou Ji's red nose and scratches on Zhou Fu's face.
Upon seeing this situation, Sheng Hong felt a chill down his spine. This was the eldest son of the Marquis Zhongjing Mansion. Although he was his grandson, he was indeed the future heir to the title of the Marquis Zhongjing Mansion. If you really calculated it, his status was much higher than that of the children in their family.
And Zhou Fu, she is also the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s Mansion. If she is really disfigured, how will he explain to his son-in-law Zhou Chen when he comes to ask about it?
"Who hit him? Mo'er, did you hit him?" Sheng Hong asked sternly.
Molan immediately cried out, "Dad, I didn't hit them. It was really not me. They started it first. I just pushed them lightly."
Wang Ruofu screamed, "Just a gentle push? Then where did the blood on his face and his stepbrother's nosebleed come from? You still dare to quibble, sir, what else do you want? Beat her, beat her to death. A concubine's daughter who is not presentable dares to beat the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion. Beat her to death."
Sheng Hong was originally filled with anger and fear, but when he heard Wang Ruofu's words, his expression suddenly became even uglier.
What annoys him the most is that Wang Ruofu always talks about concubine. You know that he is a concubine. Wang Ruofu always says this in front of him. How can he be happy.
"Mo'er, tell me, what's going on? Who inflicted the injuries on Stepbrother and Sister Fu? Are they the two maids beside you?"
Wang Ruofu was upset when she heard this and asked loudly, "Sir, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by the maid beating you? Are you trying to excuse this bitch mother and daughter?"
"you……"
Just as Sheng Hong was about to speak, he saw Hualan and Cuichan running in hurriedly.
"Step-brother, Sister Fu."
When Zhou Fu and Zhou Ji saw Hua Lan coming, they ran over crying.
"Mother." "Aunt."
Hualan hugged them in her arms with heartache.
"Sister Fu, stepbrother, let me see where you are hurt, where are you hurt."
When Hualan arrived, Wang Ruofu and Sheng Hong stopped talking. Only Lin Qinshuang and Molan, mother and daughter, were left in the hall, sobbing and looking pitiful.
Soon Hualan saw the wounds on the two children's bodies and became furious. Unable to bear it any longer, she stood up and rushed directly towards Molan, slapping her in the face and then kicking her.
"Snapped!"
Molan screamed and fell on Lin Qinshuang. She was kicked again and was knocked unconscious.
It was Lin Qinshuang who finally reacted. She screamed, "Young lady, please show some mercy."
But Hualan shouted, "Shut up."
Lin Qinshuang immediately changed her target and cried loudly to Sheng Hong: "Master, even if it is the government, they should interrogate before taking action. How can you beat someone without asking any questions?"
Wang Ruofu cursed loudly: "You bitch, you still have the nerve to say that she deserves to be beaten to death. Are you qualified to interrogate her?"
Sheng Hong frowned and said to Hua Lan, "Hua'er, although Mo'er was wrong, you did it without asking any questions. It was really inappropriate."
Hua Lan retorted, "Ji Ge'er and Fu Jie'er are both injured like this, what else is there to ask? I didn't beat her to death because of my father's face. If it was the Marquis' Mansion, I would have asked someone to drag her out and beat her with a stick. Why would I let her quibble here?"
Sheng Hong scolded him in dissatisfaction: "Are you here in Sheng Mansion to show off your status as the Marquis' wife?"
"Dad, do you think I'm showing off?"
Hua Lan's face was cold: "Sister Fu is the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion, and step-brother is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion. He was beaten like this in the Sheng Mansion by a concubine. If this spreads out, it will be shameful." It is the people of Sheng Mansion and the face of the father. What will others say about Sheng Mansion? When the legitimate son and daughter of the Hou Mansion come to Sheng Mansion, they can only be bullied by the concubine of Sheng Mansion. The concubine of Sheng Mansion is really good and majestic. , Sheng Mansion is so majestic."
Sheng Hong's face turned pale after being rebuked, but he could not find any reason to refute. He was biased towards Molan because he was a bastard's son, but outsiders could not care about you.
If it is really known that the legitimate son and daughter of the Hou Mansion were beaten by the concubine in the Sheng Mansion, and her appearance was also disfigured, it is estimated that there will be officials involved in him in the future.
How would others view him if he did not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children and allowed illegitimate daughters to bully legitimate sons and daughters? I am afraid that those upright civil servants who were on good terms with him would definitely cut off their ties with him. If his bad reputation got out, it would probably be difficult for him to continue his position as an official.
In this era, there is still a big difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. Although not distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate children is not a crime, for many people, it is an unforgivable sin.
"Lord……"
"Father, I didn't, I really didn't hit them..."
Lin Qinshuang and Molan, mother and daughter, cried for help again in pain, causing Sheng Hong great torment.
Of course he wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, but looking at his eldest daughter's attitude, she would definitely not agree. Now his eldest daughter is a very important person, she is the wife of the Marquis, even if he is a father, he really can't control her.
Hua Lan said again: "Father, don't you want to know the whole story? Okay, then I'll let you know."
As she spoke, she squatted down and asked her niece, "Sister Fu, tell me, why did you and your brother fight with them?"
Fu Jieer immediately pointed at the crying Molan and said clearly: "It was her. She said bad things about my aunt behind her back, saying that my aunt was already a married daughter, but she always came back to her parents' home. She also said that my aunt was lucky to marry into the Marquis's mansion and became the eldest lady because of luck. She came back every day to show off her power as the Marquis's eldest lady, and she also called my father a short-lived ghost. Wow..."
At the end of the story, Zhou Fu couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
Hua Lan, who was already filled with anger, could not help but yell at Sheng Hong, "Father, did you hear that? That's what she said about me behind my back. She even dared to make up stories about the Marquis' Mansion. Are you still going to protect her?"
Sheng Hong looked unhappy and was speechless. He pointed at Molan and his face turned red with anger.
Molan cried out in injustice: "Dad, I didn't, I really didn't say that, I said that big sister came back too many times, but I didn't say anything else, I am wronged."
Wang Ruofu yelled, "You little bitch, you still dare to quibble, could it be that Sister Fu and Stepbrother are wrongly accusing you? How old are they, would they wrongly accuse you?"
Sheng Hong pointed at Mo Lan and shouted angrily: "Tell me, did you say that? Did you hit him?"
"Dad, it wasn't me. It really wasn't me. It really wasn't me. I didn't do that. They were the ones who threw mud at me first. I didn't hit them at all."
"You still dare to quibble. It wasn't you who did it. Where did the injuries on their bodies come from? Could it be that they inflicted them themselves?"
Sheng Hong shouted angrily. He was really disappointed with Molan. He never thought that Molan, who was usually so delicate and kind, would speak so harshly and even argue with a child and even fight with him.
But then he said to Hua Lan in a flattering manner: "Hua'er, this is indeed Mo'er's fault, but I know this child, she must have been instigated by the maid, and she definitely didn't mean it this way. You just hit her, so for Dad's sake, don't make this matter out of control. If it gets out, the family will lose face, and it will also be bad for you, don't you agree?"
Hua Lan did not give Sheng Hong face this time and said coldly, "Father, do you want me to let Mo Lan bully my step-brother and sister Fu for the sake of the Sheng family's reputation?"
"That's not what I meant, Hua'er. It's just a fight between kids. It's not a big deal. There's no need to cause unrest in the house."
Sheng Hong really didn't want to continue making such a fuss. He felt that it was not a big deal and was not worth making such a fuss.
"I'll let Mo'er apologize to Ji Ge'er and Fu Jie'er, and I'll give the two children some small toys, and we'll just let it go, okay?"
"Father, I understand that you are doing this for the Sheng family's reputation, but I am also doing this for the Marquis's reputation. I am the daughter of the Sheng family, and my stepbrother is also the grandson of the Sheng family. But Sister Fu has nothing to do with the Sheng family. She is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. Now someone scratched her face in the Sheng family. I have no way to explain this matter when I go back."
Hualan's tone was harsh. She was kind-hearted. If she had been wronged at her mother's house, she might have been able to endure it. But she definitely could not tolerate her son and niece being wronged.
Sheng Hong was very angry when he saw that his eldest daughter, who had always been kind and filial, was so stubborn and didn't give him any face at all.
"So what do you want? You have to make the Sheng family restless, right? You are the Marquis's wife now, but you are also a daughter of the Sheng family. Now your brother Changbai is getting married soon. If you make a big fuss about this, how will the Hai family view our Sheng family? Do you have to disrupt your brother's marriage?"
When Wang Ruofu heard that this might ruin her son's good marriage, her face suddenly changed and she looked hesitant.
But Hualan didn't buy it.
"Father is so unreasonable. He said I was going to mess up Changbai's marriage. Is he trying to put all the blame on me? Why did Molan dare to do this? She is a girl who was raised by my mother, but she always makes faces and has a temper worse than that of a legitimate daughter. Now she even dares to beat the legitimate son and daughter of the Marquis's mansion. If it weren't for father's indulgence, would she be so bold?"
Sheng Hong was furious: "Well, after all this talk, you are now criticizing me. Disobeying your biological father and criticizing him, is that what I taught you? Do you still have me as your father? Do you no longer take me as your father into consideration now that you are the wife of a marquis?"
"I dare not disobey father, I just want to tell you that you are harming her by indulging her like this. If she dares to hit stepbrother and sister Fu today, she will dare to do something even more rebellious in the future. Then it will be the Sheng family that will be implicated. Father, don't forget who detained you in the palace for two days and one night. Do you want to go through it again?"
Hua Lan's last words made Sheng Hong's expression freeze instantly. The embarrassment and fear he had experienced in the inner hall of the imperial palace involuntarily emerged in his mind, and his body could not help but tremble.
"Since my father can't do it, then I, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, am also qualified to teach my sister. Come here."
At Hualan's command, four big men walked in from outside. They were the guards she brought from the Marquis' Mansion. They didn't care about the rules of the Sheng Mansion and only listened to Hualan's orders.
"Drag those two maids who did this to death."
"Yes."
Two guards immediately came over and dragged Lu Zhong and Qiu Jiang, who had been beaten with a stick, out of Wei Rui Xuan. Cui Chan knew her own girls best, so she immediately pulled Zhou Ji and Zhou Fu into the inner room, hugged them tightly, and covered their ears.
Soon after, shrill screams were heard outside.
Everyone in the hall heard the screams outside and were all terrified. Even Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu's faces changed.
As for Molan, she was so frightened that she screamed and trembled all over. Lin Qinshuang was not much better. She was also frightened by Hualan's decisiveness.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 1135: Sheng Hong is frustrated because he doesn’t give face
Just as the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant, two guards walked in and stood respectfully behind Hua Lan.
"Ma'am, it's been resolved."
Hualan nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Molan, who was too scared to even cry, and scared Molan so much that she screamed.
"Sister, please forgive me. I didn't mean it. It was those two bitches who instigated it. They were the ones who beat Stepbrother and Sister Fu."
Molan cried and begged for mercy, but seeing Hualan's expressionless face, she could only ask Sheng Hong for help again.
"Daddy, save me, save Mo'er, I didn't mean it, Daddy, save Mo'er."
Lin Qinshuang also cried out, "Master, Honglang, please save Mo'er. Mo'er knows she is wrong. Miss, please forgive Mo'er. Mo'er is your own sister."
Sheng Hong's face trembled a few times, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Hua Lan say, "Father, are you going to plead for her?"
Sheng Hong suppressed his anger and whispered, "Hua'er, you can beat those two slaves to death, but Mo'er is your sister. There is really no need to make such a big fuss just because of this. It won't sound good if the news gets out."
After saying this, he also realized that he had made Hua Lan unhappy today, so he pushed Wang Ruofu beside him.
"My wife, please persuade Hua'er. Changbai is getting married soon. Fighting and killing is too unlucky. It will be embarrassing if the news gets out. Anyway, the anger has been vented, so why not just forget it."
"Oh ah?"
Wang Ruofu woke up as if from a dream. She didn't hear what Sheng Hong said at all. She was still immersed in her daughter's decisive and murderous aura.
Even though she usually shouts about killing this and killing that, she is actually just a talker. If she really wants to fight or kill, she doesn't have the courage to do so.
She wanted to use today's incident to punish Lin Qinshuang and her daughter, but she really didn't think of beating or killing them. At most, she would just sell them off.
But her eldest daughter was different. Not only did she confront her father, she also ordered people to beat and kill Molan's two maids. This ruthlessness really scared her.
Sheng Hong said it again angrily, emphasizing: "Please ask Hua'er for mercy."
But Wang Ruofu started to yell: "This little bitch hurt my grandson and Sister Fu, and she wanted me to plead for her. It's a nice thought, but it has nothing to do with me. I'm going to go and coax Stepbrother. You guys can do whatever you want."
Wang Ruofu, who was smart for once, walked straight into the inner room regardless of Sheng Hong's expression.
Sheng Hong was shocked. Is this still his wife? How could he ignore such a big event and a chance for revenge?
Hua Lan said, "Father, you are right. Mo Lan is my sister. If that is the case, then I will let you punish her. I believe you will satisfy me, right?"
Sheng Hong's face turned pale. He was being put in a difficult position. He had no doubt that if he treated her with care, his eldest daughter would definitely not give him face.
Being forced by his own daughter, he felt very aggrieved and wanted to get angry, but when he thought of his eldest daughter's ruthlessness just now, the anger in his heart instantly dissipated.
Anger turned into anger, irritated turned into irritation, but it really made him fall out. He really didn't have the courage.
Helplessly, he could only glare at Molan hatefully. Even though he loved Molan, he also knew what happened today. If it weren't for Molan's bad mouth, this situation wouldn't have happened.
Besides, Molan cannot escape the responsibility for the injuries suffered by Ji Ge'er and Fu Jie'er.
"Dong Rong, go get the board."
Dong Rong quickly took out the thrashing board. Sheng Hong took the board and shouted at Mo Lan on the ground, "Mo'er, if you make a mistake, you must be punished. Put your hand out."
"Daddy." Molan called pitifully.
"Stretch out."
Sheng Hong suddenly shouted loudly, and Molan was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She stretched out her hand with a sad face.
Sheng Hong raised his hand and was about to put it down, but Hua Lan suddenly interrupted him.
"Father, how can you come in person for this kind of thing? Let your daughter do it for you."
After saying that, without giving Sheng Hong a chance to refute, he ordered the guards behind him: "Xiao Wu, you go."
Xiao Wu was the youngest and most solid of the four guards. When he heard the order, he immediately stood up and walked towards Sheng Hong, ready to take the board in Sheng Hong's hand.
Sheng Hong, Lin Qinshuang and Molan were all shocked. Looking at Xiaowu's posture, if he really took action, Molan's hand would probably be broken in a few hits.
"Daddy." "Honglang."
Sheng Hong's face was filled with anger: "Hua'er, what are you doing?"
"Didn't father just say that his daughter was unfilial? Now he is being filial and cannot let his father get tired. So let Xiaowu do this kind of rough and tiring work."
Sheng Hong looked at Xiao Wu who was standing in front of him, staring at him with burning eyes. His face turned from blue to purple, looking extremely ugly.
"Hua'er, are you determined to take your sister's life? Why have you become so vicious now? As the eldest lady of the Marquis's Mansion, don't you have the slightest bit of tolerance?"
Hualan replied very calmly: "Father actually said that I was cruel. Then why didn't father say that Molan and her maidservants beat my stepbrother and sister Fu? It's because they cried, acted like a spoiled child, and pretended to be weak, and I didn't listen to father and treated them with care, so I am cruel and they are not cruel?"
"Is this what Father meant?"
