Chapter 417 Dealing with the End and Helplessness

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the city of Bianjing was still noisy at night.

The libertines of wealthy families are still drinking and drinking in restaurants and brothels, holding on to charming beauties, talking loudly, and living in a debauched manner.

But the Sheng family located in Jiying Lane in the west of the city was now covered with a dark cloud.

As the head of the family, Sheng Hong suppressed his thunderous rage and ran back to the ancestral hall. He looked at his most beloved daughter who was kneeling on the futon with a blank look on his face, feeling extremely complicated.

"Daddy!" Mo Lan was very surprised. Her pretty face no longer had the calmness it had before, but was full of panic.

"Mo'er, do you have anything else to say to daddy?" Sheng Hong said in a choked tone, looking into Mo Lan's eyes, which seemed to be sparkling with tears.

Mo Lan turned her head. Although she was panicked, she still kept her mouth firm: "What did daddy say? My daughter is stupid, please tell daddy clearly."

"Mo'er!" Sheng Hong raised his head and closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at Mo Lan again: "Are you sure you are hiding nothing from me?"

"What did daddy say? Why can't my daughter understand?" Looking at Mo Lan, who turned her head and gently wiped her cheek with a handkerchief, her movements and expressions were exactly the same as Lin Sushuang's. Sheng Hong suddenly felt heartbroken.

"Come here!" Sheng Hong closed his eyes and faced the ancestors of the Sheng family on the altar. The tears in his eyes finally couldn't stop flowing down!Dangjie knelt down on the futon.

I saw a few strong servant women filing into the ancestral hall quickly. Without saying a word, they walked straight to Mo Lan. Before Mo Lan could say anything, they grabbed his hands and feet, stuffed his mouth and nose, and carried him out. Main hall.

Sheng Hong, who was kneeling in front of his ancestors, had tears streaming down his face, "Forefathers and ancestors above me, Sheng Hong is unfilial and has no way of teaching his daughter, but... unexpectedly..."

Sheng Hong wanted to confess his sins in front of his ancestors, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

That's his daughter!His most beloved daughter.

After a while, Dong Rong walked into the ancestral hall with a sad expression and came behind Sheng Hong.

"Master, there is a result!" Dongrong bowed, his voice was very low, and his face was full of solemnity.

Sheng Hong stood up immediately, and three women with experience in delivering babies had been waiting outside the house for a long time.

"How's it going?" Sheng Hong asked impatiently as soon as he left the house, still holding on to the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Back to my lord, judging from my many years of experience, the fourth girl is indeed not perfect anymore. She seems to be pregnant."

Sheng Hong asked excitedly: "Are you sure you didn't read it wrong?"

"This servant can only confirm that the fourth girl is not perfect. As for whether she is pregnant, we have to ask the doctor to take her pulse to confirm!" The mother-in-law was startled by Sheng Hong's expression and tone, and the three of them immediately knelt on the ground and answered hurriedly.

"Where are you!" Sheng Hong looked at the other two.

The answers of the two people were exactly the same as No. 1, and the last glimmer of hope in Sheng Hong's heart was completely shattered.

There was only one thought left in her mind: Mo Lan was really pregnant!
"Damn it, you still haven't told the truth until now?"

Sheng Hong pointed at Mo Lan who was pushed down in front of the row of ancestors of the Sheng family and shouted. Dong Rong next to him was holding a stick made of dark brown solid wood that was dried in the shade and was as thick as a baby's arm. , raised high and looked at Sheng Hong.

As soon as Sheng Hong gave the order, the wooden stick in Dong Rong's hand would hit Mo Lan's buttocks hard.

Sheng Hong had ordered the area around the ancestral hall to be crowded with people. No one was allowed to approach without Sheng Hong's order.

"Dad! My daughter is wrong! My daughter knows she is wrong!" Just now, several nuns forcibly took off her pants for inspection. The last trace of luck in Mo Lan's heart was completely shattered. Just now, Sheng Hong was talking to those women outside. Mo Lan heard the conversation clearly and naturally knew the reason.

It must have been when King Cai took her pulse again that he diagnosed that she was no longer a virgin and was still pregnant.

After all, Mo Lan was not a hard-nosed person. She burst into tears and begged for mercy pitifully: "A daughter shouldn't lie to her father! My daughter has realized her mistake, father!"

"Tell me! Who is the adulterer!" Sheng Hong glared at Mo Lan with blazing eyes, gritting his teeth, his cheeks bulging from the bite.

Mo Lan was so frightened by Sheng Hong's ferocious expression that she could no longer hide her words, and confessed everything as if she were pouring beans: "It's... the Liulang of the Liang family!"

"Liang Han?" Sheng Hong confirmed with Mo Lan again.

Mo Lan nodded immediately, not daring to hide anything anymore.

Sheng Hong closed his eyes and took a deep breath, turned his back, faced the row of ancestors of the Sheng family, knelt down on the futon, and asked: "In front of the ancestors, how can you start all over again?" The explanation will be clear to the end! If you lie even a little bit, I will pretend that I never gave birth to a daughter like you!"

Sheng Hong still said harsh words. How could Mo Lan dare to lie to her? He immediately told how she and Lin Sushuang had conspired to bribe everyone in the house and the Liang family, and deliberately created a conspiracy between her and Lin Sushuang. Liang Han's chance encounter and hookup were told from beginning to end. Later, he used to go to Sanqing Temple to offer incense as an excuse to have trysts with Liang Han and secretly communicate...

The more Sheng Hong heard about it, the more frightened he became. The Sheng family was like a sieve, with leaks everywhere. His daughter had been having an affair with her husband for several months, but no one in the family heard anything about it. So many people didn't. One notices.

After Mo Lan finished explaining, the entire Sheng family was in a state of turmoil again, from the Shanyue Residence to the Linqi Pavilion, from serving the maid in the back house, to the servants in the front yard, and the concierge boy. However, Everyone who had anything to do with this matter was summoned. Sheng Hong personally questioned them one by one and revealed all his skills when he was a general judge in Yangzhou and a county magistrate in Lingzhou.

The interrogation did not come to an end until the moon was at the top of the sky.

But this time, Lin Sushuang had tried many different methods in the past, but to no avail.

In the Shou'an Hall, Ming Lan was waiting for Old Mrs. Sheng to take the decoction. No one could hide Mo Lan's matter from Old Mrs. Sheng. After hearing this, Old Mrs. Sheng threw a set of tea cups in anger and was almost killed. He was so angry that he lost his breath, but fortunately Wang Zhong was there to help him massage and regulate his energy, push the blood away, and prepare some decoction, and he finally recovered. "Grandma! This is the end of the matter. It's useless for you to be angry anymore!" Looking at the old lady who was still angry, Minglan could only comfort her softly.

"Hmph!" Old Mrs. Sheng felt angry when she thought of it. She clenched her fist and hammered the soft table top hard, and said coldly: "You can do such shameless things, with the same virtue as her little girl. !”

Thinking of Lin Sushuang, Old Mrs. Sheng was very angry. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After all, Lin Sushuang came to Sheng's house to join her. Missing Lin Sushuang's mother, the old lady had no sense of shame in the past. Even though she was an old friend in her boudoir, she felt pity for Lin Sushuang. Mrs. Sheng took Lin Sushuang in and kept her by her side.

But he didn't expect that Lin Sushuang was ambitious and looked down upon the young men from good families with clean family backgrounds and good moral character that Mrs. Sheng had chosen for him. He actually had a secret affair with Sheng Hong behind Mrs. Sheng's back. When Mrs. Sheng found out, Lin Sushuang was already pregnant with Chang Feng.

This is also one of the reasons why the relationship between Mrs. Sheng and Wang Ruofu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good. The old lady felt guilty, so she hid in the Shou'an Hall and lived her own life behind closed doors. She basically didn't interfere with the big and small things at home. , all decided by Sheng Hong and his wife.

Unexpectedly, more than twenty years later, Mo Lan would make the same mistake as Lin Sushuang. The reputation of the remaining female members of the Sheng family would be affected. If word spreads, I'm afraid Hualan will be divorced by the Yuan family, Rulan will never be able to marry, and as for Minglan, it will be difficult to raise her head outside in the future.

"Excessive anger can harm your body. Although your bones are not bad, if you are angry too much, it will inevitably damage your liver. These internal organs are integrated into one body. It's not worth it to influence the whole body with just one move!"

Wang Zhong released his hand that was taking the old lady's pulse, gave Minglan a reassuring look, and then comforted her softly.

"Grandma, the officer is right! Nothing is as important as your body!" Minglan also comforted her.

As for Changdong, he had already been sent back to find Wei Shuyi. It was better for someone of Changdong's age not to know about this kind of thing, lest he accidentally let it slip one day.

"Old lady, the master is here!" But at this moment, a female envoy hurriedly walked in to report.

"He knew how to come here!" Old Mrs. Sheng even held a grudge against Sheng Hong, but she still ordered the female envoys to invite Sheng Hong in.

After a while, a tired-looking Sheng Hong came to Mrs. Sheng and hurriedly saluted and said hello: "My son is paying homage to my mother. How is my mother?"

"You still have the nerve to come here!" Mrs. Sheng was furious, and when she saw Sheng Hong, she started to accuse her.

The tears in Sheng Hong's eyes had long been wiped away, but the tiredness and helplessness in his eyes could not be hidden: "The son did not teach his daughter well, and the mother suffered the consequences. The son cannot escape the blame!"

"The eldest lady woke up from a faint. Ru Lan wanted to jump into the lake at one moment, and rushed to the ancestral hall with a knife to fight with your precious daughter. Hua Lan had to take care of the eldest lady while crying, and didn't even Dare to go back to Yuan’s house!”

Listening to Mrs. Sheng's words, Sheng Hong felt guilty.

"Every time they mother and daughter make mistakes, you always favor them. You hold them up high and put them down gently every time. You are so arrogant that they don't know how high the sky is and how high they dare to do such shameless things!"

"What the mother taught you was that it was the son's fault!" Sheng Hong's attitude in admitting his mistake was very sincere.

"Mo Lan was supposed to be a good girl, but she was taught by Lin Sushuang to become what she is now. The path she is taking now is the same path that Lin Sushuang took and succeeded..."

How could Sheng Hong feel better when the old lady brought up old things again? Although there were mixed feelings in her heart, her face still showed respect and regret.

Old Mrs. Sheng took a deep breath: "Mo Lan is a girl. If she gets married in the future, it might be better to leave Lin Sushuang. But Chang Feng is the son of the Sheng family. If Chang Feng is taught bad things, our Sheng family will still Can it be good?"

"After he failed the exam last time, he talked nonsense in a restaurant, offended the officials, and caused you to be detained in the palace. Have you forgotten it?"

Old Mrs. Sheng woke up Sheng Hong with just one word, and immediately left in a hurry without even bothering to salute!

Not long after, the news came that Lin Sushuang was dragged to the ancestral hall by the master's order. Dong Rong took it upon himself to beat her severely, and she fainted. The master sent a car overnight to be imprisoned in Zhuangzi. It was spread to Shou'an Hall.

Mo Lan was not beaten, but was confined to Shanyue Residence, but the child in her belly could not be kept. The reputation of the Sheng family could not be lost because of an undeveloped child.

When it comes to matters involving the family's future, Sheng Hong rarely hesitates. He immediately goes to Wang Zhong and asks for a prescription for abortion, and then gives it to Mo Lan that night. Lan's wailing sounded for most of the night.

Early the next morning, Wang Ruofu changed his clothes, specially washed and dressed himself up, dressed in a grand manner, went out in a carriage, and went straight to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.

Wang Ruofu mustered up his courage and sacrificed his face when he left, but when he came back, he was dejected and still had a sad look on his face.

"When I arrived at the Liang family, I had just opened my mouth when I was retorted by Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu said that although her Liulang was a bastard, he was also a direct descendant of Yongchang Houfu and would definitely not marry Mo Lan. !”

Wang Ruofu said with a look of sorrow and anger: "Mrs. Wu said that she wants Mo Lan to marry into the Liang family. When the sixth son of his family gets married and has a wife, let's send Mo Lan there at that time." Be a side house!”

"The Wu family has gone too far in bullying others!" Sheng Hong angrily slapped the case and cursed excitedly.

"Mom, is there really no room for change?" Hua Lan wiped away her tears and said with a pair of red eyes.

"Madame Wu has already talked about this, how can she turn things around?" Wang Ruofu was also helpless. Just as Madam Wu said, encountering such a thing is like swallowing a bird that just flew out of the latrine. The flies that came out couldn't be spit out or swallowed. The only one who was disgusted was myself.

The person Wang Ruofu hates most in his life is Lin Sushuang. The person he hates the most besides Lin Sushuang is Mo Lan. But now he has to lower his face and beg for help because of Mo Lan. This makes Wang Ruofu happy.

"Father!" Hua Lan couldn't help but look at Sheng Hong.

But what can Sheng Hong do? The Liang family is unwilling to marry Mo Lan. Should he be asked to impeach the Marquis of Yongchang, or make the adultery between Liang Han and Mo Lan public?
"Madam, why don't you go to Yongchang Marquis Mansion another day?" Sheng Hong could only look at Wang Ruofu again.

Wang Ruofu said with a helpless look: "Madam Wu has said all this, do you think it will make any difference if I go again? Or do you want me to kneel in front of Madam Wu and give her Kowtow and beg her to let her Liulang marry Mo Lan?"

Sheng Hong was speechless after being retorted by Wang Ruofu.
