Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 193 Reaction
These words immediately stirred up Aunt Wei's emotions, leaving her unable to contain herself!

If things can really turn out as Sheng Changquan said, with people returning to the ancestral home of the Sheng clan, opening the ancestral hall, inviting the clan elders, and having the entire clan jointly judge this wicked woman, that would be the best outcome!
but!

"Quan'er, are you... are you confident?"

Aunt Wei looked at Sheng Changquan, her voice trembling slightly.

The Wei sisters saw through Sheng Hong and knew what was most important to him.

A promising future and a promising official career are important, but the prestige of the Sheng family is of paramount importance.

Sheng Hong's lifelong wish, besides wanting to wear scarlet robes and stand closer to the emperor, was to transform the Sheng family into a family of scholars and literati for generations.

Although the Sheng family has now entered the ranks of the elite, seemingly a family of scholars and poets, everyone in the family knows in their hearts that this is just the beginning. The transformation of a family cannot be accomplished in one or two generations. At the very least, it will take five generations to successfully change its social standing and firmly establish itself.

If what Sheng Changquan said were to actually be done, it would certainly damage the reputation of the Sheng family. Not to mention anything else, Sheng Hong's image as someone who has no manners and favors his concubine over his wife would inevitably be exposed. At that time, not only would his reputation be affected, but his official position would also be impacted.

After all, the Censorate in the imperial court is specifically responsible for keeping an eye on these kinds of things.

Therefore, if Sheng Changquan has no trump card, then this matter will definitely not pass through Sheng Hong's hands.

Similarly, without Sheng Hong's approval, Sheng Changquan would not have been able to bypass him and achieve this.

Of course, there is another way, which is to ask Old Madam Sheng to step in and directly persuade Sheng Hong, so that she can personally decide on this matter.

However, all of this depends on one premise: finding evidence that Lin Qinshuang harmed someone.

If there is no evidence, how can we get the old lady to speak, and how can we hold a trial in the ancestral hall?
"Auntie, as long as I can find evidence to prove Lin Qinshuang's innocence, I'm confident!"

Sheng Changquan stood up, bowed to Aunt Wei, and pleaded, "However, Aunt, I still need to ask you for help with finding the evidence!"

"I need to have evidence in hand before I can be confident that I can make this happen!"

Sheng Changquan guessed that Aunt Wei must have a way to find evidence, which was why she said that.

Of course, Sheng Changquan had another purpose in saying this: he wanted Aunt Wei to leave the capital to lower some people's guard and avoid unnecessary trouble.

After all, he was still young and inexperienced and unable to dominate the situation. Only when he had fully developed could he sweep everything aside and bring the matter to a decisive conclusion.

After listening to Sheng Changquan's words, Aunt Wei thought for a moment and then nodded firmly.

"it is good!"

"Leave the matter of this evidence to me!"

Although she didn't understand what her nephew was thinking, Aunt Wei chose to believe him. She looked at Sheng Changquan and said, "Coincidentally, I have also discovered some clues and found the whereabouts of several people before your mother's accident!"

"Once we find them, all the problems will be solved."

"Oh? Who?"

Sheng Changquan's expression shifted, and he immediately asked, "Auntie, who are you referring to?"

"that is……"

……

Linqi Pavilion.

"Xue Niang, how is she?"

Lin Qinshuang dismissed all the servants in the room and, with a slightly flustered expression, pressed her trusted confidante Zhou Xueniang for answers, asking, "What exactly is the purpose of that person's trip to the capital this time? Has he discovered what happened back then?"

"Young lady, don't worry!"

Zhou Xueniang was much more composed than Lin Qinshuang.

"Today, that Wei family member went out with the Sixth Miss and the Seventh Brother, and they haven't returned yet!"

Zhou Xueniang looked at her mistress and reported the situation in a low voice: "I don't know exactly what they did, but I've already sent my servant to follow them quietly. If there's anything urgent, he'll naturally come back!"

Zhou Xueniang's implication was that since her husband hadn't returned, it meant nothing had happened.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Qinshuang frowned and thought for a while, but finally shook her head, feeling that something was not right: "No!"

"This matter cannot be left to drag on like this!"

"We must find a way to resolve this matter completely!"

"Otherwise, there will eventually be hidden dangers!"

It has to be said that sometimes, these ruthless people are decisive. Lin Qinshuang made her decision after pacing back and forth in the room for only a few moments!

"Xue Niang, tell your husband to keep an eye on this Wei woman. I need to find out what she's doing in the capital!"

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Qinshuang's eyes: "If the Wei family has truly sensed something, then we must strike first and have someone capture her before she makes her next move..."

Lin Qinshuang pulled her hand across her neck, making a gesture as if she were about to kill someone to silence them.

"what?"

Zhou Xueniang also exclaimed in surprise!
After a long pause, she asked somewhat fearfully, "Young lady, are you really going to do this?"

"Huh? Xue Niang, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Qinshuang was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhou Xueniang's attitude and couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a better way?"

In fact, Zhou Xueniang really didn't want to do this, especially after she learned that Sheng Changquan had passed the imperial examination smoothly and was already a sure thing to become a scholar!

Unfortunately, if it weren't for the fact that she had dealt with Wei Shuyi back then, which made them irreconcilable enemies, Zhou Xueniang would have really wanted to switch allegiance and join Sheng Changquan's faction.

Upon hearing Lin Qinshuang's question, Zhou Xueniang fell silent.

Because she genuinely realized that there was truly no other way to resolve this matter.

After all, if you want to completely eliminate this explosive, you have to deal with the wire that could ignite it.

Of course, the most crucial point is that dealing with this Wei family is very easy.

Aunt Wei's husband's family wasn't wealthy or noble, and she often went out looking for people, so she was often alone. If Lin Qinshuang found someone reliable, the chances of getting rid of her were quite high.

Zhou Xueniang thought for a moment and still tried to persuade her: "Young lady, the purpose of Wei's trip to the capital may not necessarily be to stir up this matter. After all, if we really want to dredge up old grievances, I'm afraid the master will be the first to disagree!"

"As long as we gain the lord's trust, even if the Wei family confronts us face to face, it won't matter!"

Zhou Xueniang still didn't want to continue clashing with Sheng Changquan, so she kept trying to talk things out in a positive light.
