Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 6 Limelight
"We won! We won!"

"We win!"

Upon hearing the official's report, Minglan jumped up with joy, turned around, and grabbed her maid Xiaotao, laughing and calling out!
"Ho!"

Sheng Hong was both surprised and delighted, and could hardly believe his eyes!

"Ming'er, did you vote for this?"

Sheng Hong strode forward, quickly reaching his daughter's side, and asked again to confirm.

"Ok!"

When Minglan saw her father arrive, she finally calmed down, nodded, and replied confidently.

"boom!"

Upon seeing this, the crowd erupted in chaos!
"Wow! This little girl is really something!"

"Yes! She's much better than her second brother!"

"Wow! That's incredible!"

"..."

The guests began to discuss amongst themselves, causing Sheng Changfeng's expression to change from pale to red, as if a dye shop had just opened.

"never mind!"

Seeing the family jumping and skipping around as if they had won, the "Bai family youth" was too lazy to be the bad guy anymore!
After all, the main reason he took action this time, deliberately "snatching" the betrothal goose, was because of Yuan's eldest son's request.

His return to the Bai family's ancestral home was due to a ride on the coattails of the Earl of Loyalty in Tokyo, so he felt indebted to them and thus agreed to help, playing the villain for once.

Now that things have been going on for so long, this "young man from the Bai family" probably feels that he has lived up to expectations!

To be fair, the "young man from the Bai family" really didn't want to be the bad guy and ruin such a harmonious marriage.

"So be it!"

Ye Ge'er voluntarily put the arrows back into the quiver, indicating that he would stop there!

However, while he was willing, Minglan was not happy!
She felt that as a daughter of the Sheng family, it was necessary for her to take action and salvage this "crucial" battle!

"no!"

Little Minglan turned around, revealing her chubby body, and said in a serious tone, "A loss is a loss, and a win is a win!"

"How can we just let it go?"

Seeing the little boy's adorable appearance, the "Bai family youth" was delighted.

"What? Little sister, do you really want to compete with me?"

Seeing the signal from Yuan Jia Dalang across from him, Ye Ge'er decided to compete for a while longer. In any case, as long as he deliberately lost at the last moment, it would be fine!

"Ok!"

Little Minglan was unaware of all that the other person was thinking; she was only focused on making a great contribution so that she could regain her father's favor!
Behind the two, Sheng Hong couldn't get a word in edgewise. After all, the two parties involved had already made their decision, and as the head of the household, he naturally couldn't say anything.

"Tomorrow, are you confident?"

So, Sheng Hong could only wait until the two of them finished discussing before he leaned down and whispered in Sheng Minglan's ear, asking quietly.

"Ok!"

Meeting her father's earnest gaze, Xiao Minglan nodded heavily!

"it is good!"

Unaware of the interaction between the father and daughter, Ye Ge'er took out two more arrows, ready to strike.

Ye Ge'er glanced at the little one beside him and reminded him.

"Then let's continue!"

……

In the backyard, Wei Xiaoniang's maid, Xiaodie, went through a great deal of trouble before finally finding the head cook of the kitchen.

"You surnamed Guan, what exactly do you mean by this? Why are you cutting back on the charcoal in my mistress's yard for no reason?!" Xiaodie was furious. She grabbed the maid in charge of the charcoal in the kitchen and loudly accused her!

"Yo!"

In the backyard, the plump, round-faced Lady Guan stubbornly denied everything, simply raising her pinky finger and saying nonchalantly, "Little Butterfly, don't talk nonsense!"

“We always act with discretion; why would we deduct your share of the allowance without cause?”

"You still say no!"

Xiao Die, who lived in Wei Xiao Niang's courtyard, was so angry that her eyes turned red!

She turned the bamboo basket she was carrying on her back around, flipped it over, and turned it upside down!

"You heartless old women, how dare you act so brazenly? In this freezing weather, you even dare to embezzle our share of the grain. Are you trying to freeze our young lady to death?"

"Moreover, how dare you spout such nonsense in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid I'll go to the front yard and find the lady of the house to settle this matter?"

Lady Guan, who was as fat as a pig, was naturally afraid that Xiao Die would go and complain to her.

However, she wasn't in a hurry at the moment, because today was the day the eldest daughter was to be betrothed, and how could Madam Wang possibly pay any attention to this girl? Besides, she was "acting on orders" this time, and only because she received a hint from Lin Xiaoniang did she dare to do this so openly!
"laugh!"

Lady Guan spat out a melon seed shell, her expression one of disdain.

"Pooh!"

"It was clearly your family who took too much last month, and now you dare to ask for it back? Why would we give it to you?"

Lady Guan spoke carelessly, completely shirking responsibility, and fabricated a pretext to suppress the matter!

After all, if someone were to investigate, these servants who embezzled and sold their master's charcoal would likely not fare well!

"Fine! You wait and see if I go to the front this time and ask the old lady to judge this!"

Seeing that these bastards were determined to make things difficult for her yard, Xiaodie was furious and stormed off to the front yard!

It was obvious that she was really going to file a complaint!

"Huh? Quick!"

"Stop her quickly!"

"We absolutely must not let that wretch go to the front yard and ruin the lord's important business!"

Seeing that Xiaodie was rushing towards the front yard as if she had swallowed hot coals, the fat woman got anxious and quickly waved her hand, instructing her companion to hold her down so as not to really disrupt the banquet and attract the host's attention.

"Pooh!"

"You heartless bastards, let me go!"

A group of women in charge grabbed Xiaodie, preventing her from leaving, and kept advising her, "Miss Xiaodie, it's just a little less charcoal, why be so petty and ruin the important things ahead?"

"Yeah yeah!"

"Last month, you took more than you were entitled to, and we didn't say anything, did we?"

"..."

A group of people were pulling and tugging at Xiaodie, deliberately blocking her from complaining. Some of the more malicious old women even took the opportunity to pinch Xiaodie, making her feel pain!
"Ouch!"

At this moment, Madam Zhou, who had been secretly watching from the side, finally stepped forward and appeared.

"What are you doing?"

"Hurry up and release her, Miss Xiaodie!"

Madam Zhou, a senior maid in Linxi Pavilion, is Lin Qinshuang's capable assistant. She often plots to harm people and things in other courtyards and is a treacherous person who hides a knife behind her smile.

……

Meanwhile, the descendants of the Meng family who had traveled from afar finally awoke from their slumber.
