Chapter 132

~7 min read 1,277 words

Chief Sheng Hong was terrified and apprehensive!

Fortunately, he had taken the initiative to ask for the other party's understanding.

"No, I must send a generous gift later; otherwise, if I provoke this disaster star, it's hard to guarantee that I won't be ruined!"

"Father."

"You look listless, and your complexion is so bad."

At dinner time, the whole family gathered to eat.

The Sheng family had four daughters and two sons, and the family was thriving.

Sheng Minglan, the sixth young lady of the Sheng Prefecture, had a cute doll face.

However, she was the least favored daughter in the family. Because she was a daughter of a concubine, she had not been valued by her father since childhood and had encountered the predicament of a strong legal mother and difficult sisters. Not only was survival difficult, but there were also unexpected crises hidden everywhere in the deep house.

Yet, she was a person who was clever, witty, seemingly clumsy but actually smart, transparent, indifferent, and cautious.

At this moment, she was the first to notice Chief Sheng Hong's abnormality.

She asked with concern.

Her words immediately attracted the attention of the Sheng grandmother, Madam Xu, Chief Sheng Hong's wife Wang Ruofu, Lin Qinshuang, and her biological mother, Concubine Wei.

As well as her half-sisters Sheng Hualan, Sheng Molan, Sheng Rulan, and her half-brothers Sheng Changbai, Sheng Changfeng, and the rest of the family.

In the Sheng family.

Chief Sheng Hong was the heaven of the Sheng family.

So everyone became concerned.

"Father, are you okay? I'll go call a physician immediately."

Minglan's fourth sister, Sheng Molan, the daughter of Chief Sheng Hong and Lin Qinshuang, who appeared weak, immediately snatched the words from Sheng Minglan's mouth anxiously.

She hurriedly called someone: "Why aren't you going to call a physician yet."

Lin Qinshuang, Chief Sheng Hong's concubine, who appeared weak and beautiful but was full of schemes, immediately washed her face with tears like pear blossoms in the rain: "Master, you are the head of our Sheng family; you must not have any trouble. If you do, how can we, the mother and her two children, live!"

She cried as soon as she spoke!

Chief Sheng Hong did not appreciate Sheng Minglan, who was the first to care about him.

Seeing Lin Qinshuang and Sheng Molan, mother and daughter, like this.

He was greatly moved.

"I am fine."

"It's just some matters in the court; I can handle them."

Chief Sheng Hong hurriedly comforted them.

"Father, I don't know what the matter is that makes you so troubled?"

Minglan's eldest brother, the eldest son of Chief Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu.

Sheng Changbai, the eldest young master of the Sheng family, spoke with concentration at this time.

Official matters concerned their entire family.. 0

And he was someone who was knowledgeable but not ostentatious.

He loved his brothers and sisters but always had a serious face. He could sacrifice himself for the prosperity of the family and was a brother who was like a father and a brother, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens.

Therefore, he could not help but be concerned.

Chief Sheng Hong was silent for a moment, sighed, and said: "It's that Jia Hui."

"Jia Hui?!"

Sheng Rulan, wearing yellow clothes, said in surprise.

She was Minglan's fifth sister, the second daughter of Chief Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu, with a straightforward personality and no schemes.

"Father, is it that Jia Hui, the Viscount Jia, who has been the most prominent recently and has overshadowed everyone else?"

"The Great Gan God of War?"

She asked with excitement and curiosity.

Perhaps she had heard too many legends about Jia Hui, and her personality was one that appreciated people like Jia Hui who killed Tatars and brought glory to the country.

Regarding love.

She didn't care about the other party's background and bravely pursued what she loved.

Chief Sheng Hong nodded: "It's him!"

"Did this brute anger you, Father?"

Compared to her fifth sister Rulan.

Molan, who appeared weak on the outside but was ruthless on the inside, looked down on Jia Hui.

Molan sneered: "I heard that this brute stupidly offended the Rongguo and Ningguo Prefectures, and even the old grandmother was disliked by him. He must have caused trouble again."

Chief Sheng Hong frowned.

Although he thought so too.

But the other party was still doing very well now.

It was truly a strange thing.

Chief Sheng Hong sighed: "Now he has been promoted to the Regional Commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division."

"Ah? Is that true?"

Everyone was shocked.

"Since it's what your father said, then it must be true."

At this time.

The Sheng grandmother, with silver hair and a face that was somewhat square due to her flesh, spoke.

She was once the eldest daughter of the Yongyi Marquis Prefecture, upright and incorruptible, and clear about right and wrong.

Ignoring the suspicious crowd, Chief Sheng Hong said to his legal wife Wang Ruofu: "Prepare yourself; in the next few days, I will invite Jia Hui to be a guest at the mansion. Also, prepare a wedding gift for the other party's marriage!"

Wang Ruofu wore green clothes, her maiden family was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and she had considerable power. Her father was the late Grand Master Wang, who was enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and she was a typical aristocratic lady.

Wang Ruofu's marriage into the Sheng family was considered marrying down. At that time, the Sheng grandmother only dared to go to the Wang family to propose marriage after Chief Sheng Hong had achieved official success.

They had two daughters and one son: the eldest daughter Sheng Hualan, the second son Sheng Changbai, and the third daughter Sheng Rulan.

She appeared very tough.

But in reality, she was kind-hearted.

Hearing Chief Sheng Hong's words, she was surprised: "Why does the Master invite him? He is a military general and you are a civil official; you shouldn't have much contact." ===== CHAPTER 133 =====

【95】 Let Minglan marry Jia Hui as a concubine! Lin Qinshuang's poisonous scheme (8)

"The Story of Minglan"!

The Sheng family!

The dining room!

Wang Ruofu was always bringing up things that shouldn't be mentioned.

Could Chief Sheng Hong say that he was the one who led the impeachment of Jia Hui today?

Could he also say that he was afraid now and was admitting defeat to apologize to someone?

So he kept a straight face: "If you are told to go, just go. Why do you, a woman, ask so much about matters of the imperial court?"

"Yes, I am a woman and don't understand these things, but why did you ask me to find my father and them when there were matters before?"

Wang Ruofu was unhappy after being retorted by him like this.

She had a sharp personality and retorted to whoever she encountered.

Even when facing her husband, Master Sheng, her words were laced with barbs.

Chief Sheng Hong's face sank, but Lin Qinshuang was secretly delighted and immediately chose to stand on Chief Sheng Hong's side to speak.

Making Chief Sheng Hong reveal a smile.

Wang Ruofu especially looked down on this Lin Qinshuang and could not stand her affected and pretentious manner.

However, Wang Ruofu had a hot temper and a simple mind.

She was not like Lin Qinshuang, who knew how to feign pity and be calculating.

Therefore, she was at a disadvantage in the struggle against Lin Qinshuang in the Sheng family's inner residence.

At this moment, she was clearly less pleasing than Lin Qinshuang to Chief Sheng Hong.
