Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 45 Method
"Changbai!"

You've really grown up!

Looking at her younger brother, who used to follow her around, begging for candy and toys, Sheng Hualan was filled with mixed emotions.

It feels like just yesterday they were growing up!
"elder sister!"

Seeing a hint of tears in his sister Sheng Hualan's eyes, Sheng Changbai gently took her hand and comforted her, "Sister, don't be afraid!"

"Even though you're going to marry into the Yuan family, your family will always be your safety net!"

"Your father, mother, grandmother, and I will always protect you!"

"Sister, don't be afraid!"

Sheng Changbai reiterated the statement.

"Changbai!"

Seeing this, Sheng Hualan lowered her head somewhat embarrassed, picked up the handkerchief beside her and began to wipe herself, saying with a choked voice, "You...you said...why are you doing this?"

"Sister... Sister, I just can't bear to leave home!"

Seeing Sheng Hualan's "excuses," Sheng Changbai didn't take it to heart, but still firmly assured her, "Sister, I'm telling the truth!"

"if……"

"I'm telling you, if you can't get along with the Yuan family, don't suffer in silence. If anything happens, you must tell us!"

"We'll back you up and stand up for you!"

Sheng Changbai knew that his sister must be very scared right now, especially after seeing Wei Xiaoniang's difficult childbirth. She must be even more terrified as she is about to get married and have children. That's why he spoke up to comfort her.

"Humph!"

His tone was a mixture of crying and laughter, laughter tinged with tears.

Sheng Hualan wiped away her tears and smiled gently, "Changbai, don't worry about me!"

"My sister knows what she's doing!"

Sheng Hualan didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer, so she changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Changbai, do you know about what happened today at home?"

"What exactly happened with Wei Xiaoniang's difficult childbirth?"

"Yes or no……"

Sheng Hualan pointed in the direction of Linxi Pavilion, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

At this moment, Meng Yue, who had been pretending to be an innocent baby, suddenly perked up and began to squint his eyes and listen carefully.

Although she already had her own judgment, Meng Yue was willing to listen to other people's opinions.

He wanted to see how his second brother viewed the matter.

Upon hearing his sister's question, Sheng Changbai hesitated, wondering if he should bother her with these family matters again.

"Hey! Changbai, just say what you have to say!"

Upon seeing Sheng Changbai's expression, Sheng Hualan knew he must know something, and couldn't help but urge him, "Is there something you can't tell me?"

"Does that mean you don't consider me a member of the Sheng family just because I'm not married yet?"

Knowing her younger brother's temperament well, Sheng Hualan turned the tables and shut Sheng Changbai up.

"All right!"

"Sister, let me tell you about it!"

"What happened today is like this..."

After hesitating for a while, Sheng Changbai recounted everything he had seen and heard, as well as what his friend Gu Tingye had told him.

……

"So, this matter, or..."

"Really, it's related to that Lin girl?"

Sheng Hualan was also shocked upon hearing this!
She quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming.

"Ok!"

Sheng Changbai frowned and nodded, indicating that he shared the same thought.

"How...how could this happen?"

"How...how dare she?"

Sheng Hualan murmured in disbelief, her heart pounding with fear, as if boiling water had been spilled.

Suddenly, she remembered something. "That..."

"From now on, Changfeng, Molan, Minglan, Xiaoqi, and the others..."

Sheng Hualan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Ah~"

"That's exactly what I'm worried about!"

Sheng Changbai stood up and paced back and forth in the room, trying to calm himself down.

"Sister, what should we do if Xiaoqi and the others find out about this and start a fight with Changfeng and the others?"

"Are you suggesting we force them to fight amongst themselves, brothers and sisters turning on each other?"

Sheng Hualan turned her head and looked at Xiao Mengyue, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. She felt a pang of pity for him.

"Poor Xiao Qi!"

"Ah~"

The siblings inside the house fell silent.

a long time.

After pondering for a long time, Sheng Hualan finally spoke first, saying, "Changbai, there are only two options left now!"

"Two methods?"

Seeing Sheng Changbai looking over, Sheng Hualan slowly said, "Either we keep this secret hidden forever, and don't let Minglan and her brother know about it."

"Either we take care of Lin Qinshuang before they find out about this!"

"Only in this way can we ensure that the four of them will not become enemies over this matter in the future!"

At this point, Sheng Hualan no longer wanted to refer to that poisonous woman as Lin Xiaoniang, so she simply named her by name.

"The second method probably won't work!"

After pondering for a while, Sheng Changbai shook his head.

"Judging from the current situation, Father probably won't believe me, and he won't get rid of Lin Xiaoniang either!"

Even now, Sheng Changbai still refers to Lin Qinshuang as "Little Lin," which shows just how kind of person he is.

Thinking of her father's usual practice of favoring his concubine over his wife, Sheng Hualan nodded in agreement with Sheng Changbai's opinion, and said helplessly, "That's true!"

"So, does that mean we can only help them cover up this case?"

At this point, Sheng Hualan felt a little uncomfortable, as if she had let Minglan and her brother down.

However, the troubled siblings did not notice that little Meng Yue, who was right next to them, was secretly clenching his little fists, his little hands trembling with hatred!
"As expected... that's how it is!"

While silently chanting in his heart, Meng Yue continued to pretend to be asleep, showing no sign of anything unusual throughout the entire process, all to prevent himself from being exposed.

"Lin! Qin! Shuang!"

Lying in bed, Meng Yue imprinted those three words firmly in his mind, a surge of resentment rising in his chest!
"One day, I will make you regret everything you've done!"

In a hidden space within Meng Yue's body, a red light flashed and disappeared in an instant!
"Ugh!"

Beside him, Sheng Changbai sighed again and shook his head helplessly.

“There’s no other way!”

"Right now, we don't have any clear and conclusive evidence to convict that Lin Xiaoniang of a crime!"

"Picture of it~"

"What can be done!"

"Ugh……"

"Ugh……"

The siblings exchanged a glance and both sighed.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Just then, someone banged on Sheng Changbai's door from the outside.

I'll guarantee one update every day, and I'll try my best to make up for the missed recommendation votes on weekends... (﹡o﹡)
