Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 82 It’s done
When she met Rulan, Madam Wang could only get angry; there was no joy in her life!

So, having no other choice, Madam Wang could only devote all her energy to Lin Qinshuang in an attempt to pass the time.

However, Sheng Changquan, who was well-versed in the ways of the world, wisely discovered this and began to treat Wang Ruofu with sincerity.

Firstly, Sheng Changquan is young and cute, making him fun to look at and very likable. Most importantly, his existence poses no threat to Madam Wang.

In fact, it was precisely because of Sheng Changquan's presence that Sheng Hong visited Wei Rui Xuan more often, greatly increasing Wang Da Niangzi's chances of getting some comfort.

After all, Sheng Hong doted on his illegitimate sons the most, especially illegitimate sons like Sheng Changquan who had no birth mother!

Secondly, coincidentally, Wang Ruofu, who had become somewhat obsessed with fighting with Linxi Pavilion, discovered that with Sheng Changquan around, Sheng Hong paid less attention to that side.

To be honest, ever since Sheng Changquan was born, Sheng Hong has diverted much of his attention from Linxi Pavilion. Although what was diverted was only Sheng Hong's attention to Sheng Changfeng, a person's energy is ultimately limited. Once some of it is diverted, it will naturally affect the original attention.

For example, Sheng Hong gradually neglected Lin Qinshuang and her daughter Sheng Molan; at the very least, he no longer paid them the same attention as before.

"Brother Quan, what are you trying to do?"

Madam Wang had some suspicions in her mind, and her face began to show hostility: "What, is it so uncomfortable to live in my room?"

Sheng Changquan was still young, so most of the time he slept in the small room next to Madam Wang's. Being so close to Madam Wang made it easier for her to take care of him and prevent any oversights.

"Mother~"

Compared to Minglan's relationship with Madam Wang, Sheng Changquan's relationship with her was closer, hence his way of addressing her.

"My son just thought that he's grown up now and should have his own yard like his two older brothers so that it would be convenient for his studies and he wouldn't have to bother you every time he goes to school!"

"Mother, this is also a way for your son to show his filial piety!"

Sheng Changquan blinked, his expression somewhat mischievous. However, despite saying this, his eyes were fixed on his father, Sheng Hong, hoping to gain his support.

"you……"

Madam Wang raised her eyebrows, ready to retort, but was suddenly interrupted by Sheng Hong reaching out his hand.

"Ugh!"

"My lady, Quan'er is right!"

Madam Wang choked!
Sheng Hong smiled and said cheerfully, "How about this, there's a small courtyard in the west wing of Wei Rui Xuan. After your mother has it cleaned up tomorrow, you can move there!"

The area in the west wing isn't really a courtyard, but it's located in the northwest corner of Wei Rui Xuan and has its own entrance and exit. If it's properly renovated, it could be considered a small courtyard.

However, even though his residence was not as good as his two older brothers', Sheng Changquan was still quite content!

"Thank you, Father! I will study hard from now on to bring honor to the Sheng family!"

"Moreover, after I get married, I will definitely take good care of you, Mother, and make you happy every day, so that you will never have any worries or anger again!" After getting what he wanted, Sheng Changquan immediately offered a few loud and clear compliments, making the two heads of the household feel very comfortable!
"Ha ha……"

Sheng Hong was already pleased with himself, and hearing his son's words made him even more delighted.

Similarly, Madam Wang was also pleased by Sheng Changquan's flattery. However, being somewhat stubborn and proud, she couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Hmph! By the time you get married, that'll be more than ten years away!"

"Mother~"

Taking advantage of his young age, Sheng Changquan became increasingly childish. He ran behind Madam Wang and twisted his small body into an unsightly shape, like a piece of chewing gum, which was "a pitiful sight".

"Mother~"

"Don't be in such a hurry!"

"Take your time..."

While this family was happily enjoying their time together, the atmosphere at Linxi Pavilion on the other side was rather strange.

"Hmph! Mother!"

"Why hasn't Father come yet? Is he going to stay at Wei Rui Xuan again?"

Mo Lan clung to the door of Linxi Pavilion, looking for a long time, but still couldn't see Sheng Hong's figure coming. A trace of annoyance and resentment appeared on her face.

Inside the room, the sumptuous feast that Lin Qinshuang had arranged for her to eat and drink had long since gone cold. She was now drinking alone, seemingly trying to drown her sorrows.

"Mo'er, you shouldn't look anymore!"

"I reckon your father is going to stay at Wei Rui Xuan this time!"

Lin Qinshuang knew very well that it was already past midnight, and Sheng Hong would definitely not be returning here.

"Aniang~"

Mo Lan tore at the handkerchief in her hand, walked into the room with an angry expression, and said fiercely, "What's wrong with Father?"

"He has good news about his impending promotion, but he doesn't even come to tell us. Does he not like us anymore?"

Mo Lan was still young and didn't understand the intricacies of the matter.

"okay!"

Hearing her daughter's incessant chatter, Lin Qinshuang couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"what do you know?"

Lin Qinshuang glanced at her daughter, who had been startled by her sudden shout, lowered her voice, and said slowly, "No matter what, Wang Ruofu is still the eldest daughter-in-law!"

“If anything happens to your father, in the end, it will still be her who has to handle it. What business is it of ours?” Lin Qinshuang lamented, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"What's more, he also has a younger brother who is not only good-looking but also speaks eloquently. Your father often tells me that Quan-ge is exceptionally talented and will surely amount to something in the future!"

"Humph!"

Mo Lan was initially startled by her mother, but it took her a while to recover. At this moment, she snorted coldly and said with some disdain, "That boy is just relying on his young age and the favor he receives from Father. What extraordinary talent could he possibly have?"

Although she said that, Sheng Molan could tell from her daily life that Sheng Changquan was indeed a talented young man. Putting aside everything else, at the very least, he was exceptionally healthy. Even if he didn't succeed in his studies, joining the army would be a viable option for him.

"All right!"

Lin Qinshuang was very dissatisfied with her daughter's unrealistic attitude, and she said, "Go back to your room!"

"Anyway, you won't be seeing your father tonight!"

"Hmph! Fine, I'll go back then!"

Sheng Molan glanced at her mother, then turned and left!

Lin Qinshuang was left alone at the table, muttering to herself.

"It's strange, how come I haven't gotten pregnant again all these years, except for Feng'er and Mo'er?"

"Could it be that there really is such a thing as cause and effect, or retribution?"
