Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 285 Shulan is punished
Because the enemy is right across from Pinlan.

In the courtyard, besides the Pinlan sisters, there was an old woman with a bloated figure and a face full of fat standing three to five meters away from them.

This woman was not tall, just the height of an ordinary woman, very ordinary and quite plain.

However, there is one thing about her that is unusual and different from others.

That's her weight.

In this feudal society with low productivity, this person was unusually fat!
They're so fat and chubby, it's quite astonishing!

Of course, this also gives us a clue as to what kind of life this person leads.
Aside from living a life of luxury, there's absolutely no other way to develop such a physique!
"Ah!"

Who am I supposed to be?

Before Minglan could figure out what was going on, the old woman opposite Pinlan spoke up: "So that's how it is!"

"It's my niece by marriage!"

Compared to the somewhat disheveled Pinlan and Shulan, the old woman seemed quite at ease. She stood with her hands on her hips, as steady as a bucket, opposite them, with an air of arrogance.

Judging from her expression, she looks just like a victorious general on the battlefield!

However, Sheng Changquan knew that the old man was actually faking it.

Because he walked quickly, he saw Minglan's disheveled appearance when she first met Shangpinlan before she even arrived in the courtyard.

If Shulan hadn't been gentle and kind, and hadn't grabbed her sister in fear that she might have caused some serious trouble, that old man would probably be lying on the ground groaning right now!

"I wonder what brings my niece by my side to our Sun family this time?"

The old woman opposite opened her mouth wide and said with a shifty look in her eyes, "If it's not something important, I hope my niece-in-law won't interfere in the affairs of our Sun family."

"Because there are still some family rules that haven't been enforced yet!"

These words sounded ruthless, but the speaker was rather lewd.

As the old woman spoke these provocative words, her feet kept shifting, as if she was dodging Pinlan's attack, fearing that the other party would break free from Shulan and the others' interception and retaliate with a punch.

"Pooh!"

Pinlan spat in disgust, completely ignoring the old lady's words, and instead angrily questioned, "Old hag, what were you doing just now?"

Even though she was being held back by Shulan and several maids, Pinlan still stubbornly moved towards the other side, little by little.

After all, it's very difficult to "pacify" a Pinlan when she gets angry.

However, it was precisely because Pinlan kept getting closer that the old man on the other side kept dodging.

Because she was used to being wild since childhood, Pinlan is not like Shulan in terms of personality. Compared to her sister's gentleness, she is more feisty.

At this moment, she was chasing after the old woman opposite her, struggling, and yelling at her angrily: "You old hag, what were you trying to do to my sister?"

"Are you... looking for death?!"

Although she was a junior, Pinlan, blinded by anger, clearly didn't care about such things. All she wanted to do was grab the other person and beat them up to vent her anger.

"What?"

Although the old man opposite her was constantly retreating, she remained defiant, saying, "What can I do?"

"I'm your sister's mother-in-law, so naturally I'm here to properly discipline my own daughter-in-law!"

"What? Is there something wrong with this?"

"Or are you saying that you, a member of the Sheng family, want to interfere in the affairs of our Sun family?"

Indeed, this old woman with a face full of scars was none other than Shulan's mother-in-law, Sun Xiucai's mother, Sun Huangshi. "You!"

"Son of a bitch……"

Because she was being held back and couldn't rush forward, Pinlan could only keep cursing: "Family rules?"

"What kind of family rules could your Sun family, a destitute household, possibly have!"

Pinlan knew very well what the Sun family had been like before, so she had no good impression of the Sun mother and son from the bottom of her heart.

"You heartless old bastard, how dare you make my sister kneel in this blazing sun as punishment? Is this some kind of bullshit family rule of your Sun family?"

"I think you're a ruthless old man who wants to torture my sister..."

"..."

Pinlan was furious, but she couldn't stand up to the law, so she could only vent her anger by repeatedly focusing on the fact that Sun Huangshi had been ruthless.

After all, the current imperial court governs the country with filial piety, so it is only natural for a mother-in-law to set rules for her daughter-in-law.

"This……"

"How is this going?"

Minglan had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, but since Sheng Changquan was standing right next to her, she simply asked her younger brother directly, hoping to get the correct answer.

Hearing Minglan's question, Sheng Changquan did not hide anything, but turned his head and whispered, "Sister, didn't you see? When I came in just now, I saw Sister Shulan kneeling in this courtyard."

Sheng Changquan pointed to a spot that was being baked in the scorching sun.

"Look, it's right there!"

"what?"

Minglan turned her head and saw the bright sunlight shining in that place, and her expression immediately changed!
"This family... is truly wicked!"

Minglan glanced at Sun Huangshi and felt that this person was not only mean-spirited and vulgar, but also extremely vicious, as she could be so cruel to her own daughter-in-law!

You should know that in this era, girls from wealthy families were raised in luxury, which means that their health was not very good.

For these young women, kneeling as punishment was already an extremely severe punishment, let alone being exposed to the scorching sun in such a manner.

Such punishment could absolutely be called torture!
Prolonged exposure to the sun can easily cause internal injuries to young women, leaving them with long-term health problems.

"It's not just that!"

Sheng Changquan shook his head, quietly pointed to a blue-and-white porcelain bowl in the corner, and whispered, "Sister, look!"

"Ok?"

"When I first came in, Sister Shulan wasn't just kneeling there; she was holding a bowl in her hand!"

"Moreover, the bowl was filled with water at the time!"

Sheng Changquan's words immediately touched Minglan's heart even more!
"Sister Shulan..."

She looked up and immediately saw Sheng Shulan, who was pale-faced, in front of her.

At this moment, Shulan was not only pale, but also extremely disheveled, especially at the knees of her dress, which were covered with all sorts of dark marks.

It was obvious that those were the stains from when she was forced to kneel.

Many thanks to the generous donors: Laughing Cola, Juechen, and He and Her Cat! (By the way, although the writing isn't great, I probably won't abandon it. After all, I'm a follower of other people's books, and I hate those who leave comments!) — Also, I'm writing about 4000 words almost every day, which is alright~~
