The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 349 Ming Lan
When Wang Gang left Shou'an Hall, he wanted to go back to Lin Sushuang's side and have breakfast together, but when he passed the kitchen, he stopped in his tracks.

A childish voice came from the kitchen.

"Please, give me some carbon!"

Wang Gang frowned, thinking of one thing.

Do you know that at the beginning, the heroine Sheng Minglan asked the envoy of the Sheng family to warm her with carbon, but was ruthlessly rejected.

Instead of giving Sheng Minglan a charcoal, the maid made fun of her.

Originally, Wang Gang didn't want to take care of this matter, but thinking that it was Lin Sushuang's order to seize the charcoal fire in Wei Xiaoniang's courtyard, and this incident caused endless troubles later, Wang Gang had no choice but to intervene.

"Sixth sister, what are you doing?" Wang Gang walked into the kitchen and said.

When Sheng Minglan saw Wang Gang, she was overjoyed at first, then surprised.

"Third brother." Sheng Minglan greeted Wang Gang.

Wang Gang walked to Sheng Minglan's side and asked the envoy, "Aren't you afraid that my mother will punish you for deducting the fees for Aunt Wei's courtyard?"

"Third son, I didn't withhold Aunt Wei's charcoal." The maid felt dizzy for a while, not knowing how to explain it to Wang Gang.

Wang Gang said coldly: "Make up what is missing for Aunt Wei, or I will tell my father that you will be punished no matter what you do or not."

The maid's face changed drastically when she heard the words, she knew in her heart that Lin Sushuang would not be able to protect her if things got to the lord Sheng Hong's side, let alone Lin Sushuang's character, she would not be able to protect her either.

What made her even more uncertain was Wang Gang's attitude.

Wang Gang touched Sheng Minglan's little head, and said, "Sixth Sister, if someone cheats you in the future, come to me directly."

Sheng Minglan was a little scared, and wanted to avoid Wang Gang's hand, but later felt inappropriate, so she could only stand there and let Wang Gang touch her head.

Wang Gang also knew that Sheng Minglan was afraid of him, or rather of his predecessor, Sheng Changfeng.

Although they are brother and sister, it's a pity that Sheng Changfeng and Sheng Minglan don't have any feelings, instead they have resentment.

Under Lin Sushuang's secret instruction, Sheng Changfeng bullied Sheng Minglan a lot.

Just because Sheng Minglan is Aunt Wei's daughter.

Naturally, Wang Gang wouldn't do such a thing, not because Sheng Minglan was the heroine, but because he couldn't do things like bullying children.

"Sixth sister, you go back to the house first, someone will deliver the charcoal later." Wang Gang tried his best to keep a kind smile and asked Sheng Minglan to go back first.

Then he said to the female envoy: "Hurry up and supply the things to Aunt Wei, I will talk to Mother."

When the maid heard this, she immediately felt relieved.

"Don't worry, third son, I'll do it right away."

Wang Gang said coldly: "Don't fool around."

The maid took the order and left.

Wang Gang also left the kitchen and returned to Lin Sushuang's room.

At this time Lin Sushuang and Sheng Molan were waiting for him to come back for dinner.

"Feng'er, today is the first day of martial arts practice, are you tired?" Lin Sushuang asked with concern.

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Not tired, just a little hungry."

Lin Sushuang hurriedly handed Wang Gang a flower roll.

While eating, Wang Gang said, "Mother, I ran into my sixth sister when I came back."

After he told Lin Sushuang about the kitchen, Lin Sushuang was really unhappy.

"What do you care about them?"

Wang Gang frowned and said, "Mother, if my father passed Mrs. Wang to let you be the housekeeper, if I let him know that you have deducted Aunt Wei's expenses, I will not be happy, and I will be convinced."

Lin Sushuang didn't care and said: "Wei Xiaoniang is like a quail all day long, and she doesn't dare to say that she suffers."

Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Wei Xiaoniang doesn't speak, it doesn't mean that father won't know, there are quite a few people over there who want to see our jokes."

Lin Sushuang's complexion changed, and she immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"I said before that father's love for you will always end one day."

Lin Sushuang said unconvinced: "But when I think of the child in Wei Xiaoniang's belly, I can't get angry."

Wang Gang frowned and said, "Mother, what are you worried about?"

Lin Sushuang said: "I'm worried that Wei Xiaoniang's birth of a son will affect your status in the Sheng family."

Wang Gang was speechless: "They're all born from concubines, what's the influence? If Mother thinks so, why don't you kill the eldest brother, so that I can have the opportunity to inherit the Sheng family business."

Lin Sushuang was shocked when she heard this.

"Feng'er, don't talk nonsense, Brother Bai is your father's eyeball, nothing can happen."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "So mother also knows that Sheng Changbai is the grandson of the eldest son of the Sheng family. No matter how many bastards the Sheng family has, there will be no difference."

This era pays attention to the order of the elders and the younger, and there is a difference between the son and the concubine, and the inheritance of the family business by the son is written into the law.

As a concubine, Wang Gang had no chance of inheriting the property of the Sheng family unless the son of the Sheng family died.

It's a pity that Lin Sushuang was too short-sighted. As a concubine, she wanted to be the number one in everything, and even had thoughts that she shouldn't have.

It's okay to have an idea, but what's the use of you against Wei Xiaoniang, you have to deal with Mrs. Wang and Sheng Changbai!

Apart from offending people for no reason and even arousing Sheng Hong's resentment, what she did had almost no effect.

"Mother, don't target Wei Xiaoniang in the future, but win her over, especially in front of your father, showing a sisterly attitude."

Lin Sushuang said disdainfully: "That bitch of the Wei family, how can he call me a sister."

Seeing that Lin Sushuang was not enlightened, Wang Gang could only speak bluntly.

"No man likes to be restless in the backyard. The more you show a gentle sisterly attitude, the more your father will appreciate you, and you will be more unique when compared with the jealous Mrs. Wang.

The purpose of fighting for favor is to grab a man's heart. As long as the father is at ease, the mother's position in the backyard can be as stable as Mount Tai. "

Lin Sushuang became energetic when she heard this, she has been comparing herself with Mrs. Wang, as long as she can compare with her, she is willing to do anything.

"It's just that this won't make Wei Shi cheaper in vain?" Lin Sushuang was still a little unwilling.

Wang Gang sighed in his heart, knowing that Lin Sushuang's pattern was just like this.

"Wei's temperament is weak and easy to control. Winning her over will be good for mother." Wang Gang explained.

Lin Sushuang looked at her son in amazement, and asked, "How do you know the ways of competing for favor in the backyard?"

Wang Gang explained: "Mother, you really should read more history books. There are actually many records of the harem's struggle for favor in the books. The most famous one is the Benji of Empress Lu."

"Empress Lu?" Lin Sushuang asked in confusion, "Empress Lu of Han Gaozu? I'm not the emperor's concubine."

Wang Gang said: "In fact, the competition for favor in the backyard is the same as the competition for favor in the harem. They are all competing for the preference of men."

Lin Sushuang nodded half understanding.

Wang Gang thought that he would have to give Lin Sushuang more advice in the future, as her structure was too small.

On the other side, after Sheng Minglan went back, the female envoy quickly brought over the charcoal fire. Apart from the charcoal, there were also things that had been embezzled before, and all of them were sent to Wei's house.

Seeing so many things, Wei Shi didn't show any joy on his face, but worried.

"Ming'er, tell Wei Niang, did you find someone to make trouble with?" Wei scolded his daughter immediately.

"Mother, I went to ask them to send you some charcoal, and I happened to meet Brother San, who helped us."

Wei Shi was puzzled and said: "Sanlang? Isn't it Dalang?"

Sheng Minglan explained: "It's the third brother, not the eldest brother. The third brother also said that if someone bullies us again in the future, we should go to him directly."

Wei Shi was a little puzzled, she didn't know that Lin Sushuang deliberately made things difficult for her, why did Lin Sushuang's son turn around to help them?

"Ming'er, you are not allowed to look for Sanlang again, you'd better stay away from him." Wei warned his daughter.

"Why, I think Third Brother is a good person." Sheng Minglan asked puzzled.

Wei explained patiently: "You are still young, so you can't tell who is a good person and who is a bad person. In short, let's close our doors and live our own lives. Don't cause trouble."

Sheng Minglan didn't take it seriously, but on the surface she still agreed to Wei Shi.

What Wei Shi didn't expect was that Lin Sushuang suddenly ran to her yard when the evening was approaching. As soon as she came up, she asked for her health and brought a famous doctor from Yangzhou.

The kindness is hard to come by, Wei Shi can only let the doctor feel the pulse.

In the end, the doctor said that she was physically weak, and she should pay more attention to exercise. It is best to take a walk after meals every day to exercise her body, otherwise she will be prone to severe pregnancy and dystocia.

Lin Sushuang immediately said that she would come to supervise Wei Shi every day and walk with her, acting like a real sister.

With this operation, Wei Shi couldn't get rid of it directly. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Lin Sushuang's gourd?

But Wei knew in her heart that no matter what Lin Sushuang's purpose was, she couldn't stop it, she could only suffer it.

But other people in the house gradually spread Lin Sushuang's virtuous name, saying that she cared about the lord's wife, concubine and children, and that she would do everything by herself and work hard.

Even Sheng Hong stayed at Lin Sushuang's place for three nights after hearing about it.

Wei Shi was vaguely aware of Lin Sushuang's purpose, but he was helpless.
