Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 15 Foolish Idea

Wang Ruofu glanced disdainfully at Sheng Hong beside her and cursed inwardly.

"Look at your taste! None of these concubines you've taken are any good!"

"He's either cunning and ruthless, or just dull and simple-minded. He's nothing like my mother, who is so graceful, generous, sensible, and reasonable!"

Madam Wang secretly pitied herself, thinking, "Back then, I, Wang Ruofu, was a noble lady sought after by many families. It's just a pity that I'm now being tormented by this Sheng family!"

"If it weren't for my Hua'er, Bai'er, and Ru'er, I would have already given in to my temper and banished these wretches!"

Lost in thought, pondering random things, Madam Wang touched the wrinkles between her brows, feeling a pang of sadness.

"what?"

Upon hearing the mistress's accusation, Lin Qinshuang exclaimed in disbelief!
However, because of the loud shout, Lin Qinshuang quickly covered her mouth at the lower end of the table, trying to maintain her persona.

Gentle and courteous, graceful as a willow in the breeze, and most importantly, kind-hearted!

"This maid dares not lie!"

Lin Qinshuang argued loudly.

Lin Qinshuang knew that what she had done to Wei Xiaoniang had been discovered before she came here, so she had already taken precautions and found evidence to get rid of the poisonous woman!
Of course, even though all this "evidence" is true, her husband still needs to turn a blind eye and, to some extent, turn a deaf ear.

Therefore, while explaining, Lin Qinshuang also turned her gaze to Sheng Hong at the head of the table, wanting to show her vulnerable side to her lover and make him feel sorry for her.

"Madam!"

"Every single task within my responsibilities is documented and recorded!"

As she spoke, Lin Qinshuang did her best to play the victim, hoping to gain some sympathy, but unfortunately...

All she saw was Sheng Hong's back as he turned away!

Seeing Sheng Hong turn his back but still listen intently, Lin Qinshuang felt a surge of resentment towards Wei Xiaoniang!

"That damned Wei Shuyi, he actually complained to the master!"

"It's gotten to the point that even the master is starting to resent me!"

As someone who knows her man extremely well, Lin Qinshuang naturally knows what Sheng Hong's attitude means.

She was probably already dissatisfied with herself, and even if she managed to get away with it, it would definitely leave a bad impression on Sheng Hong.

This damaged her image in her lover's eyes!
However, no matter how much hatred Lin Qinshuang felt, she couldn't remember who was right and who was wrong in this matter!

Perhaps that's the good thing about bad people—they firmly believe they are innocent and right!
Unlike those "benevolent saints" who often engage in self-reflection and self-condemnation, this person is not like them!

"Snow Maiden!"

no way!
Without someone to cooperate with her, Lin Qinshuang cannot perfectly showcase her vulnerable side.

So she had no choice but to turn around and call over her personal maid, Zhou Xueniang, and have her produce the "evidence" that she had prepared beforehand.

"Boom!"

Zhou Xueniang stepped forward, bowed, and reported to her mistress, adding, "To prevent any oversights, Madam instructed me to personally oversee the distribution."

"And because Wei Xiaoniang is pregnant, she received two extra baskets of charcoal every month!"

Zhou Xueniang secretly raised her head, carefully observing her masters' expressions and trying to discern their thoughts.

Wang Ruofu still looked dejected, clearly dissatisfied with Lin Xiaoniang's statement and wanting to investigate further. However, Lord Sheng Hong slightly shifted his body, seemingly indicating that he was about to change his mind.

"It seems that this time, the young lady has it all figured out!"

After all, Sheng Hong was ultimately the one in charge of the Sheng family mansion.

Zhou Xueniang felt relieved, but her face still showed an anxious expression, like a loyal servant who wanted to stand up for her master who had been wronged.

"Not only that, our young lady even raised the money herself!"

"They give me two ounces of bird's nest every month!"

Zhou Xueniang turned to the side, glanced at Lin Qinshuang, and said, "Because it was private money, these public account books were never made!" "But please, Mistress and Madam, do not listen to that villain's instigation!"

"I……"

"I'll go get the accounts right away!"

Zhou Xueniang spoke without thinking, appearing to be loyal to her master, which fooled a group of people.

At the very least, Sheng Hong, the head of the Sheng family, is one of them.

"嘤嘤......"

Lin Qinshuang picked up the handkerchief, feeling extremely wronged!
"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Hong turned around, looked at the master and servant in front of him, and said, "So, this thing is complete?"

Because her master was "sad" and "wronged," and it was inconvenient for her to speak, Zhou Xueniang spoke up again to answer.

"This servant would never dare to lie; these are truly all complete!"

Seeing this, Lin Qinshuang nodded and echoed her sentiment.

"Eek...mmm, eeeeee..."

"Ok?"

Sheng Hong ultimately remained unaware of the treacherous and sinister nature of affairs within the inner quarters, simply believing that what the master and servant were saying was true.

He turned his head and looked at his wife, as if he wanted to ask her for confirmation of something.

"Ah!"

To this, Madam Wang simply shrugged, looking at Sheng Hong with a hint of mockery, without saying anything at all.

She wanted to see what her husband would do.
In fact, Wang Ruofu was certain that Lin Qinshuang was the one behind all this trouble. However, with Sheng Hong protecting her, Wang Ruofu was too lazy to bother with anything else and just wanted to get her own Hua'er's marriage settled first!
As for whether or not Wei Xiaoniang is Wei Xiaoniang, what does that have to do with Wang Ruofu?
Anyway, it's not like Wang Ruofu's house is lacking charcoal or fire!

Therefore, Madam Wang followed Lin Qinshuang's lead and said, "Don't listen to the instigation of petty people."

"So... the Wei family is framing you?"

Wang Ruofu attacked both sides, since she disliked neither Wei Shuyi nor Lin Qinshuang.

"No!"

Knowing Wei Shuyi's character, Lin Qinshuang dared not speak recklessly, and could only speak logically, saying, "The Wei family's younger sister is the kindest of all!"

Lin Qinshuang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and cautiously probed, "In between..."

"Is there some kind of mistake?"

"coming!"

Seeing that everyone was starting to deduce the problem, Zhou Xueniang finally revealed her true intentions and prepared to take this opportunity to expose her hidden wicked scheme.

"Mother!"

Zhou Xueniang spoke somewhat impatiently, "This servant has a foolish idea..."

"Ok?"

Wang Ruofu didn't give the other party a friendly look at all and retorted directly!
"You know it's stupid, so why say anything?!"

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed her as if shooing away a fly!
"Well!!"

Zhou Xueniang's polite words, intended as a gesture of retreat, were immediately choked by this sentence, leaving her speechless.

He stood there blankly, like a fool!
Seriously silly.

To reiterate, this book is not abandoned. I will simply guarantee weekly updates until my other book is finished, so that readers' investment won't be in vain!

Also, I have a silly idea... how about everyone cast more recommendation votes?
