Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 223 Awareness
“Grandmother, your grandson will certainly not disappoint your expectations and will not give up that boxing style.”

Sheng Changquan knew that Old Madam Sheng still cared about her maternal family. Although she had separated from the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, the fact that someone could learn the nameless boxing technique passed down by the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion was a great comfort to the old lady.

This made her feel that this was her way of giving back to her father, Lao Yongyi Hou.

After all, Sheng Changquan was the grandson of Old Madam Sheng, and could be considered a descendant of the old Marquis Yongyi.

"Okay! Good boy!"

Having grasped the meaning behind Sheng Changquan's words, Old Madam Sheng was also quite moved. She pulled Sheng Changquan close and kept exclaiming, "Good boy!"

"What a good child..."

"grandmother!"

Just as Sheng Changquan and his grandson were having a tender moment, Minglan, who had appeared out of nowhere, suddenly spoke up.

"Grandmother, your granddaughter misses you so much!"

Seeing the joyful scene before her, Minglan felt a pang of envy and stepped forward. She pushed past Sheng Changquan and nestled into the arms of Old Madam Sheng, saying sweetly, "Grandmother~"

"Ok?"

When Grandma Sheng looked down, she was both amused and exasperated.

"So it's Ming'er who's here?"

"What, are you jealous of your own younger brother?"

Grandma Sheng smiled and gently pinched Minglan's nose, her face full of doting affection.

After all, the old lady's favorite was still Minglan.

So, despite the old lady's teasing, she still ended up hugging Minglan and stroking her back like petting a cat.

"Whoo~"

Minglan nestled in the old lady's arms, made a funny face at Sheng Changquan, and then looked at him with a smug smile.

"Sister!"

Seeing Minglan's smug look, Sheng Changquan couldn't help but laugh and say, "What? Sister, now that you know Grandmother is back, you don't even dare to sleep in anymore?"

Because of her habit of sleeping in late in the morning, Minglan had been told off by Old Madam Sheng countless times, but she still refused to change her ways. Even now, when she heard Sheng Changquan's words, her heart skipped a beat.

"Ok?"

Grandma Sheng stopped petting her granddaughter and looked down at the little one in her arms, scolding her, "Ming'er, you've been lazy again?"

Because Minglan was somewhat weak before, Sheng Changquan deliberately taught her a set of health-preserving boxing techniques in front of Old Madam Sheng. That thing was actually the "Five Animal Frolics" that Sheng Changquan brought from his previous life.

However, Grandma Sheng and the others were unaware of the details. They only heard Sheng Changquan explain the benefits of this boxing style and immediately urged him to study it diligently and persevere in practicing it.

The grandmother's request to her granddaughter was for her own good, hoping that her health would improve and she would no longer be troubled by those injuries and illnesses; while the granddaughter's request for her grandmother to learn was also in the hope that the old lady could live a long and healthy life, free from illness and disaster.

So the two of them agreed to supervise and urge each other on, and that's why we have this scene today.

"Ancestor...grandmother!"

Minglan nestled in Old Madam Sheng's arms and spoke somewhat fearfully, "Grandmother, your granddaughter just... just because of the special circumstances yesterday, I... just got up late."

"It wasn't... on purpose... on purpose to be lazy!"

Minglan is still the same as always; whenever she lies, she immediately starts to stutter.

"Ok?"

Grandma Sheng scrutinized Minglan for a while, making Minglan feel incredibly guilty, before finally letting her off the hook. "Alright, Quan-ge'er, then you keep an eye on your sister and tell her to go to the back courtyard now and practice the Five Animal Frolics five times!"

Although Minglan had been let off the hook, the old lady still secretly punished her by increasing the number of times she had to do it twice a day to five.

Of course, practicing the Five Animal Frolics is not a case of the more you practice, the better. There is a limit to how much you can do it, and five repetitions is exactly Minglan's limit without causing any harm.

"Yes, Grandmother!"

Minglan glared at Sheng Changquan through gritted teeth and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, little brother!"

"hehe!"

Sheng Changquan chuckled a few times, appearing extremely righteous: "It's alright, as long as it's for my sister's health, then I, as her younger brother, will naturally do my duty without hesitation!"

"Well, thank you so much!"

"Ah~ Brother~"

Minglan clenched her back teeth until they clicked.

"please!"

Sheng Changquan didn't care about any of that; he simply smiled and invited Minglan out.

"Grandmother, we'll take our leave now!"

Sheng Changquan bowed to the old lady, and then led the somewhat aggrieved Minglan out.

"Ha ha……"

Behind them, Grandma Sheng watched the two siblings' lively and cheerful appearance with a peaceful smile on her face.

However, when Minglan and her brother had all left, the smile on Old Madam Sheng's face suddenly faded.

"old lady!"

When only the two old ladies, Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Fang, were in the room, Mrs. Sheng finally revealed her true feelings.

"Quickly, go and call Cuiwei and Danju from Minglan's room!"

Grandma Sheng deliberately sent Minglan and her brother away so that she could take this opportunity to call out the maids in Minglan's room. She had some things she wanted to ask them!
"Yes, old lady!"

Seeing Old Madam Sheng's expression, Madam Fang immediately responded and then quickly went out to call a maid to fetch Cuiwei and the other two.

After giving her instructions, Madam Fang turned back and went to Old Madam Sheng's side, comforting her, "Old Madam, don't worry, the matter of the Sixth Miss should just be a rumor."

Clearly, the rumors about Minglan outside have finally reached the ears of Old Madam Sheng.

"rumor?"

Grandma Sheng slammed her hand heavily on the table next to her!
"Of course I know it's a rumor!"

The old lady's face turned somewhat angry: "But I want to know what's going on with this rumor?"

"If someone hadn't deliberately tried to stir up trouble, how could they have involved Ming'er?"

In fact, Old Madam Sheng naturally knew whether the rumors outside were true or false, but that was not what she was concerned about, because if she really used her power, she could easily stop them.

However, what Grandma Sheng is most worried about right now is whether Minglan really has fallen for Qi Heng, as the rumors say!
The old lady had long been aware of Qi Heng's feelings for Minglan, but considering the vast difference between the two families, she never considered bringing the two together.

Even the old lady of the Sheng family once asked Minglan what she thought and whether she was willing to marry Qi Heng. But Minglan refused very decisively and directly rejected the old lady's words!
That's why Old Madam Sheng looks like this.
