Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 170 Carrying People

Chapter 170 Carrying People
At the very least, it must be related to those two in the Sheng family's inner quarters!
Sometimes Aunt Wei wondered if the head of the Sheng family, Sheng Hong, knew something but deliberately kept quiet, and just watched helplessly as her older sister died in childbirth without any explanation!

In the years that followed, Aunt Wei became more and more convinced that it was true!
After all, as the head of the family, Sheng Hong would not have failed to investigate the matter thoroughly when such a major incident occurred, so he must have found out something afterward.

However, perhaps due to personal reasons or to make an exception for both sides, Sheng Hong's final choice was to downplay the issue and let it go.

Therefore, Aunt Wei disliked everyone in the Sheng family except her nephews and nieces.

"Aunt~"

Minglan opened her mouth, as if she wanted to offer some advice.

"okay!"

However, before Minglan could speak, Aunt Wei shook her head and interrupted her, saying, "Ming'er, don't say anymore!"

Aunt Wei, her face grim, insisted on her point of view: "Auntie knows you mean well, but this Sheng family..."

"There must be something wrong!"

Aunt Wei had already vaguely discovered something, but she chose not to tell Minglan.

Firstly, she felt that Minglan was still young and not mature enough, and might impulsively do something wrong.

What Aunt Wei was most worried about was what irrational thing Minglan would do after learning about this, which would then affect her entire life!
After all, this world is always harsh on women.

If that's the case, then it's her fault as an aunt!

As the bloodline left behind by her own elder sister, Aunt Wei still hoped that Minglan could live a good life, preferably a happy one!
As for the second reason, it is because Aunt Wei has not yet found the most crucial evidence to prove herself. Given Minglan's protection of the Sheng family, she probably wouldn't believe it without solid evidence.

Therefore, Aunt Wei decided that she would not reveal the truth until she found that key person.

The main purpose of Aunt Wei's trip to the capital was to remind Minglan and Sheng Changquan to be more careful when they were in the Sheng family, so as not to be harmed by others.

Especially Minglan, as a young lady, is most vulnerable to the underhanded tactics of those in the inner quarters!
"Minglan!"

Aunt Wei held back for a long time, but finally spoke up. Because it was a big deal, Aunt Wei called Minglan by her name.

"You must remember what your aunt is about to say!"

"aunt……"

Minglan had already guessed what her aunt might say. However, although she didn't like to hear it, she kept quiet out of consideration for her aunt's good intentions and simply nodded obediently.

"Yes, Auntie, please tell me!"

At this moment, only Aunt Wei and Minglan were in the room, so Aunt Wei simply said, "The Sheng family is really not a kind place!"

"Minglan, from now on, when you're in the Sheng family, you must be extra careful and watch out for other people's dirty tricks!"

"Whatever you do, don't go down the wrong path!"

"Aunt~"

As expected, Aunt Wei repeated what she had said before.

Minglan looked at her aunt with a headache, feeling somewhat discouraged!
"My aunt's prejudice against family members is just too deep!"

Although everyone in the Sheng family has flaws, such as Sheng Hong's favoritism, Madam Wang's irritability, and Lin Qinshuang's selfishness...

Ultimately, they are all Minglan's family. The kind-hearted Minglan always unconsciously thinks the best of them. Of course, she will still be careful when necessary, but not to the extent that Aunt Wei described, where she has to guard against them like enemies!
"Okay, Auntie!"

"I will be more careful in the future!"

Not wanting to go against Aunt Wei's good intentions, Minglan pretended to be receptive and obediently nodded in agreement.

"Ugh……"

Seeing Minglan's perfunctory attitude, how could Aunt Wei not see through it!
“Minglan, actually…”

Aunt Wei thought for a moment, and finally spoke up.

……

On the road.

As time passed, Sheng Changquan and his companions finally emerged from the lush mountain forest.

Although Sheng Changquan had gotten lost, fortunately they noticed the traces left by Ye Hu and the others when they were tracking them. Through these traces, Sheng Changquan and his group were able to deduce the correct route to leave and quickly made their way out.

However, to guard against any remaining potential men in black, Sheng Changquan and his group deliberately took a detour, emerging from another direction.

"Ouch!"

"ah!"

Just as they emerged from the mountains and arrived at another mountain path, two exclamations suddenly came from behind Sheng Changquan.

"Ah~"

Ahead, Sheng Changquan sighed wearily, then could only stop and turn around to look.

Before his eyes, he saw Rong Feiyan and Mudan lying on the roadside, looking at him pitifully.

"what happened?"

Despite having some suspicions, Sheng Changquan still asked the question.

"I...we...slipped my ankle..."

After the exchange of tokens, Rong Feiyan was no longer as afraid as before. She pressed her ankle with her hand and looked pitifully at Sheng Changquan, stammering out the reason.

"Yeah, I sprained my ankle..."

Peony added from the side.

It seems these two really have a deep bond between master and servant, even spraining their ankles together.

Actually, you can't entirely blame them. After all, mountain paths are inherently difficult to walk on, and they've never walked on such paths before. So, they were momentarily distracted and neglected their footing, which is understandable.

"Are you still able to walk?"

Sheng Changquan asked, frowning.

"This……"

Rong Feiyan and Mudan gritted their teeth and gave it a try!
"ah!"

Another cry of pain rang out.

"No, I can't move!"

Rong Feiyan, who was standing to the side, was almost crying from the pain!
"My benefactor, I can't leave either!"

Although Peony felt she could hold on, she thought to herself, if she were to leave, what would become of her young lady?

Therefore, after thinking it over, Mudan decided to ask Sheng Changquan and the others for help for the sake of her daughter.

After all, it's not easy to get favors from the Rong family!
Sheng Changquan thought for a moment and did not doubt the two girls. After all, with his medical skills, he could naturally tell that they had really sprained their ankles and were not faking it.

"Second!"

Sheng Changquan called out to Xu Changqing, who was standing silently to the side, and said, "You take them away!"

Because they were in front of Rong Feiyan and the other person, Sheng Changquan did not call Xu Changqing by his name directly.

"what?"

Xu Changqing was speechless.

"Boss, shall I carry them both?"

"I can't carry two people!"

Although Xu Changqing was tall, it would probably be quite difficult for him to carry two girls on his back.

"I didn't tell you to carry it!"

Sheng Changquan said irritably, "I told you to take them and leave!"

"what?"

"Carry?"
