The world of film and television begins from childhood

She was dissatisfied with Sheng Hong's behavior that day, but after she vented her anger, she no longer had much resentment.

But it was obvious that she had let it go, but her father Sheng Hong had not. More than a month had passed, and he still had a lot of resentment towards her. Even when he greeted her when they met, he would either ignore her or be sarcastic.

Hualan talked to the old lady for a long time.

The next day, she went to see the old lady off in person and brought her guards with her.

When the old lady saw the dozen or so guards Hualan brought with her, she was immediately shocked and refused to take them with her. However, she could not persuade Hualan, so she had to take them with her in the end.

Hualan called Minglan over again, gave her some instructions, and then sent them away on a boat.

After seeing her grandmother off and preparing to leave, she was surprised to find that a boat was following closely the boat that her grandmother and her friends had just left.

She thought he looked familiar, so she asked her men to inquire about him, and soon got the answer.

"Is the boat of Duke Qi's family the young Duke Qi? Is he here for Sixth Sister?"

Hua Lan was confused, but this was the only explanation. It just made her a little worried. Young Master Qi was indeed a good man, but her sixth sister and Qi Heng were not a good match. It was hard to say whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing if it continued like this.

Thinking of this, she was worried and couldn't help but think of herself.

In fact, she and Zhou Chen were not considered a good match at the beginning, but Zhou Chen's situation was different from Qi Heng's. Another point was that her mother-in-law was also different from that of Princess Pingning.

South of Jiangling, Zhou Chen is now leading his troops stationed here.

He has been leading his troops to suppress bandits for some time and has killed quite a few bandits, but he has not yet found the whereabouts of Emperor Zhaode Nong Zhigao.

They did capture a few rebel leaders and tortured them severely, but the answers they got were not satisfactory.

There are many answers. Basically, these people have never seen Nong Zhigao, but they have some connection with him, but there is no more information.

Zhou Chen estimated that either Nong Zhigao was hiding very well, or he had died long ago, and the current Emperor Zhaode was simply someone using Nong Zhigao's name to stir up trouble.

Both are possible, and there is no way to be sure.

To Zhou Chen's surprise, he received a letter from home, which was sent by Hualan. The letter told him that his grandmother and Minglan had gone to Youyang, and she sent a dozen guards to go with them.

When Zhou Chen learned about this, he couldn't help but think of the incident in the plot where the old lady and Minglan encountered bandits. If Gu Tingye hadn't rescued them in time, Minglan might have encountered an accident.

But now Gu Tingye is following him as the vanguard general and is not with the people from the Cao Gang. Even if Minglan is in danger, Gu Tingye will not go to rescue her.

Fortunately, Hualan was worried about the old lady's safety, so he brought a dozen guards with him. They were all elite soldiers he trained. Even if they encountered bandits, as long as they were not surrounded, they should be able to protect the old lady and Minglan.

After thinking about it, he called Gu Tingye over. It happened that Shitou, who was beside Gu Tingye, also joined the army with him, so he asked Shitou to write a letter to his brother and sister-in-law who were making a living in the Cao Gang, asking them to look after them along the way and help protect them if they encountered the Sheng family's boat.

Having done everything he could, Zhou Chen then began to concentrate on suppressing the rebellion.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. Under Zhou Chen's powerful momentum of suppressing the rebellion, the rebels in many places in the south were suppressed, but the rebel leader was still not eliminated.

The momentum of the rebels has been getting weaker and weaker. Zhou Chen specifically picked the strong rebels to fight. The rebels in many places were dispersed by Zhou Chen and turned into small groups of bandits. Although they still posed a certain threat, they were no longer enough to threaten the government.

While suppressing the rebellions, he also discovered a problem, that is, there were not only many rebels in the south, but also many bandits and robbers.

Some remote mountains, rivers, and transportation routes often gather one or more groups of bandits. Because they are familiar with the terrain and environment, it is extremely difficult to eliminate them even if a large number of officers and soldiers are sent.

Because there were too many of them and they were too scattered, they would scatter as soon as a fight broke out. Even if Zhou Chen wanted to wipe them out, he really didn't have the manpower and energy to do so.

These mountain bandits are like weeds. You can’t burn them all; they will grow again in the spring breeze.

The local government would often report these bandits as rebels to the imperial court. The ignorant court officials and government officials thought that there were really a lot of rebels in the south.

In order to deal with the rebels as quickly as possible, Zhou Chen divided the army into three parts. He led two armies, and let Gu Tingye lead two armies, and another commander led two armies to clear the rebels from three directions to improve efficiency.

Chapter 1139 The miserable Lin Qinshuang and her daughter, Yuyang’s rescue

Bianjing City, Sheng Mansion.

The Sheng Mansion has been in turmoil recently.

Not long ago, there was the dispute between the head of the family, Sheng Hong, and his eldest daughter, the Marquis's wife. Later, the eldest son, Sheng Changbai, married Hai. In short, the atmosphere in the Sheng Mansion was very strange.

After Old Lady Sheng and Minglan left the Sheng Mansion, the housekeeper power returned to Madam Wang. However, before the power could be fully exercised, part of it was given to Sheng Changbai's newlywed wife, Hai Chaoyun.

Before she married into the Sheng Mansion, Hai didn't know much about the situation there, but being smart, she discovered something fishy not long after she married into the Mansion.

This Sheng Mansion was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

She discovered that her father-in-law Sheng Hong did not have a very harmonious relationship with her mother-in-law. Instead, he was quite fond of his concubine Lin Xiaoniang.

But she was a bride after all. Although she noticed some clues, she did not show them. She did what she was supposed to do and ignored things that she was not supposed to do.

But recently, there has been some unrest in the Sheng Mansion. The reason comes from Linqi Pavilion. Zhou Chen's secret move has finally begun to take effect.

Recently, Lin Xiaoniang and Sheng Molan, mother and daughter of Lin Qi Pavilion, have been coughing all the time. Not long ago, they even coughed up blood, which scared the people in Lin Qi Pavilion half to death. They quickly called a doctor to take their pulses and treat them, but there has been no improvement after a long period of treatment.

After a long period of treatment, the coughing up blood became more serious. Finally, they used their connections to invite a famous doctor. The results of the diagnosis and treatment caused the Sheng family to panic.

It is very likely that Lin Xiaoniang and fourth girl Sheng Molan have contracted tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is a truly terminal illness in this era. Once you get it, there is basically no cure and death is the final result.

So when Sheng Hong learned the result, he was horrified and asked a famous doctor for treatment. However, no matter what medicine he took, it was of no use and the coughing up blood continued.

In just about a month, Lin Xiaoniang and Sheng Molan became so weak that they even had difficulty walking and needed care all day long.

Sheng Hong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but there was nothing he could do. On the contrary, because of his tuberculosis, Wang Ruofu would not let him go to Linqi Pavilion again.

Because of this, the two had a big fight, but in the end Sheng Hong still backed down. He loved Lin Qinshuang and Molan, but when it came to his own safety, he still backed down.

Because tuberculosis is contagious, after the disease was roughly confirmed, Linqi Pavilion was sealed off and even Sheng Changfeng was not allowed to enter.

But this is not the end. Just a few days ago, two of the maids and servants who were sent to take care of Lin Xiaoniang and Sheng Molan actually developed coughs and fevers to varying degrees, which scared everyone in the Sheng mansion.

At this time, Wei Ruixuan was having a fierce quarrel.

"No, absolutely not. I don't agree."

Sheng Hong's face flushed red, and he pointed at Wang Ruofu and yelled, "You are my wife, how can you be so heartless?"

Wang Ruofu pointed at herself and yelled, "I have no tolerance for others? I have tolerated that bitch for decades. Now it is different from before. The bitch and her daughter have tuberculosis. Two maids have been infected. You still want to keep them in the mansion. Do you really want the entire Sheng Mansion to be buried with them?"

Sheng Hong argued excitedly: "The doctor only said that the symptoms were similar to tuberculosis, but he didn't say it was definitely tuberculosis."

"It's not tuberculosis. It's been more than a month. Why hasn't it healed? Instead, it's getting worse and worse. It's even spread to the maid who brought food to take care of her?"

Wang Ruofu refused to give in and shouted angrily, "Sir, that bitch is just a concubine. I am your legal wife. Now everyone in the Sheng Mansion is afraid. If we keep them in the mansion, the Sheng family will be finished. Do you want to see everyone in the Sheng Mansion get tuberculosis and be buried with that little bitch?"

"If the old lady were still alive, she would definitely agree with my decision to drive that bitch mother and daughter to a farm outside the city."

Sheng Hong pointed at Wang Ruofu and gasped angrily, but he could not find any reason to refute.

"Impossible, Shuang'er and Mo'er definitely don't have tuberculosis. They were in good health before, how could they suddenly get tuberculosis?"

Wang Ruofu said with disdain: "Who knows, maybe they have done so many evil things that God is punishing them."

"You, you are talking nonsense. Is there anyone who would make up stories like you?"

"I made it up? This is the truth. Okay, sir, I have decided to send them away. If you insist on keeping them, then I will take Changbai Rulan and the others to live in Hua'er's mansion. Anyway, I dare not live in a place where this little bitch and her daughter are."

"You, you, you're going to move to Hua'er's place. How dare you say that? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at and talked about by others?"

Sheng Hong was furious. Several months had passed, and he was still stubborn. His relationship with Hua Lan had not been reconciled. He was already very angry, and when he heard that Wang Ruofu was going to take Changbai, Rulan and others to live in Marquis Zhongjing's Mansion, he was furious.

Wang Ruofu didn't care and said loudly, "Being laughed at is better than contracting tuberculosis and losing my life. If it doesn't work out, I'll go back to my parents' home. They won't leave anyway. I dare not stay in the Sheng Mansion. You love that little bitch so much. You are not afraid of death, but I am. Our whole family is afraid."

Sheng Hong was shaking with anger, and at this moment, Sheng Changbai and his wife walked in.

"Father, mother, please stop arguing."

When Wang Ruofu saw her son and daughter-in-law, she hurried over and said, "Bai'er, listen to your mother. If your father doesn't drive away the bitch mother and daughter, you and Chaoyun will stay at Hai's house temporarily. Let's not worry about our face. Our lives are more important."

Of course Sheng Changbai couldn't go to live at Yue's house, so he advised: "Mom, it's not that serious."

"It's not serious, it's tuberculosis, it's already spread to other people."

Wang Ruofu screamed loudly. She was really scared during this period. She was most afraid of death.

Sheng Changbai was about to speak when he saw his wife Hai pulling him. He gently patted his wife's hand to comfort her.

He knew that his wife was also worried. After all, tuberculosis was quite scary, not to mention that it seemed that the maid had also been infected.

Sheng Changbai looked at his father Sheng Hong and said, "Father, mother is doing this for the Sheng family. Although she was a little aggressive, she was telling the truth. Even if it's not tuberculosis, it's better to isolate and treat her in the current situation."

Sheng Hong's face trembled a few times. Even the eldest son said so. Even if he was reluctant, he couldn't really let his family move out of the Sheng Mansion, right?

After hesitating for a long time, he finally looked up to the sky, sighed, and gritted his teeth.

"Forget it, forget it. If it is as you wish, then send him to the farm outside the city for treatment."

In fact, what he said was not wrong. Lin Qinshuang and Sheng Molan did not have tuberculosis, but Zhou Chen used his internal force to injure their lungs. Because the damage was not too great, it took a long time for the illness to break out. In fact, as long as they take good care of themselves and take some traditional Chinese medicine to treat the lungs, they will be able to recover.

However, although it is not fatal, it will take several months to completely cure it. During these months, they are destined to suffer.

But this is not tuberculosis. Zhou Chen did not expect it to be such a coincidence that the doctor would give such an ambiguous answer after being unable to determine the condition.

What was even more unfortunate was that during this period, the maid who was taking care of them actually developed a cough and fever. Even if it was not tuberculosis, it was confirmed to be tuberculosis.

After Sheng Hong agreed, he didn't have to worry about the rest, as Wang Ruofu took care of everything.

Linqi Pavilion.

Lin Qinshuang and Sheng Molan, mother and daughter, live in the same house and depend on each other. Compared to how glorious they were more than a month ago, they have lost a lot of weight now, their faces are pale and bloodless, their hair is disheveled, and they even have a strange smell on their bodies.

At the beginning, the mother and daughter could not accept it. They screamed and yelled all day long, wanting Sheng Hong to save them. But after so many days, they realized from the attitude of the servants that they were abandoned.

Now the mother and daughter depend on each other, and every day feels like a year.

"Mom, why have we become like this? Why doesn't Dad care about us? Find a doctor for us, we will definitely get better." Molan cried in despair.

Lin Qinshuang felt extremely sad when she looked at her frail daughter.

"Don't be afraid, Mo'er. Mother is here. Mother will protect you. We will definitely get through this. There will be good days waiting for us in the future. You will become the wife of a prince or noble. We can't fall here."

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

Before she could finish her words, she started coughing violently and it took her a long time to recover.

However, the mother and daughter have long been accustomed to this situation. Although they do not think they have tuberculosis, coughing up blood is an unchanging fact.

Molan's lifeless eyes sparkled with light: "Mom, is everything you said true? Can we really be together?"

"Of course, of course you can. Mother has not seen you get married in such a grand manner, so she will definitely not fall down here."

Lin Qinshuang's face was fierce, and with her current honor, she really looked like a devil from hell.

Her life has been like this, but she must create a good future for her son and daughter. It seems that there is not much hope for her son Changfeng now, so she places most of her hopes on her daughter.

Her daughter Molan was pretty and gentle. Even among the several daughters of the Sheng family, she felt that her daughter was the most beautiful and the most talented, so she firmly believed that her daughter would definitely marry into the mansion of a prince or noble and become the lady of the house.

Didn't Sheng Hualan become the lady of the Marquis's Mansion just because she was born from Wang Ruofu's womb and had the old lady's face?

Her daughter is more outstanding and better than Sheng Hualan in terms of appearance and talent. If Sheng Hualan can be the wife of a marquis, Molan can be the wife of a duke.

Just as the mother and daughter were imagining a beautiful life in the future, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a group of old women who were stronger than men rushed in.

They all covered their faces, leaving only their eyes exposed. After coming in, they rushed directly towards Lin Qinshuang and Molan without saying a word.

"What are you doing?"

"Ahem, what do you want to do, ahem..."

But no one paid any attention to them, and several old women forcibly dragged them out of the room.

"Let me go, you, ahem, you are so brave, let Mo'er go."

"Let go, mother, save me, daddy, daddy..."

Lin Qinshuang and Molan screamed miserably, but it did not change the result that they were dragged out of the room.

Outside the door, at a distance, Liu's mother, wrapped up in a blanket, shouted, "Quick, take it away, take it away."

Amid Lin Qinshuang and Sheng Molan's shrill screams, they were dragged out of the Sheng Mansion, their mouths were gagged, and they were put on a carriage and driven straight out of the city.

But Wang Ruofu was still worried, so she had Linqi Pavilion sealed off and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Zhou Chen had not expected that he wanted to make the mother and daughter suffer, but now the suffering was even worse than he had imagined.

But even if I knew, I wouldn't feel guilty.

He knew exactly what kind of person Lin Qinshuang was, and she deserved this result.

As for Sheng Molan, if she could be raised by Wang Ruofu or the old lady, she would definitely be raised better than Lin Qinshuang. At least she would not learn Lin Qinshuang's worldly airs and sinister and vicious calculations.

However, the most non-existent thing in the world is "if", because if we really want to count the origin, Sheng Hong is the source of all this. If he didn't favor his concubine and kill his wife, this result would not have happened.
