Chapter 77 Sheng Hong’s Goddaughter
Sheng Hong's punishment method completely angered the dignitaries in Tokyo City.

Although the punishment was not severe, and could not even be considered a punishment, it made the dignitaries feel humiliated.

And face is what they value most, it can be said that they regard it as their life, so they all put all their efforts into fighting back against Sheng Hong.

But they didn't know that the more fierce their counterattack was, the more the emperor would value Sheng Hong, which would lead to the opposite effect.

When they saw that Sheng Hong was directly promoted by the emperor to the position of Dali Temple Minister, directly promoting Sheng Hong from a fourth-rank official to a fourth-rank official, the emperor proved his support for Sheng Hong with his actions, which shocked the dignitaries in Tokyo Prefecture.

By the time they realized what was happening, they all suddenly and unanimously rushed into the Sheng family to give gifts, turning the Sheng family, which was initially deserted, into a place filled with guests.

Seeing the gifts sent by others, Madam Wang Ruofu became very excited. She suddenly felt that her frustrating life in Tokyo had become more fulfilling. But then she became inexplicably afraid and worried.

"Sir, with so many people coming to our Sheng family to give gifts, how should we deal with them?"

"Haha, what are you afraid of, ma'am!
You can accept any gifts you receive without worry, but be sure to keep a clear account of them."

"Ah? Sir, isn't it too ostentatious for our Sheng family to accept gifts so openly?

I'm worried that it will affect your career!" Madam Wang Ruofu looked at Sheng Hong in confusion.

"Haha, you're worrying too much, ma'am!

Sir, I will hand over the accounts to Your Majesty!

A gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried and worried!" Sheng Hong said disapprovingly.

"Sir, this is a good idea!

But, will it offend those officials who sent the gifts?"

"Will not!

There are no fools in this world!
The reason why others give us gifts is entirely because of your Majesty's trust in us.

Our honor and disgrace today and in the future all rest in the hands of the Great Zhou Emperor, so of course we must act with integrity!"

"Yes, sir! Ruofu knows!
There are also many noble families who suddenly want their children to study in our Sheng family private school!"

"Haha, this is how people in the world flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. It's nothing surprising!

I will talk to Zhuang Xuejiu about this matter and see what he thinks first!"

With Sheng Hong's promotion, the Sheng family has been very lively recently. More and more children of officials have been coming to the Sheng family's private school, and it is no longer just the young master Qi Heng.

Molan looked at the high-spirited young master Qi Heng and felt indescribable fondness in her heart. She always arranged the maids around her to secretly pay attention to Qi Heng's activities, and then she would pretend to meet Qi Heng by coincidence.

"Brother Yuanruo, Molan wrote a new poem today and would like to ask Brother Yuanruo for his comments!"

"Huh? You are the fourth daughter of the Sheng family, Molan, right?"

"That's right!" Molan looked at Qi Heng shyly.

"Miss Molan, it's really unfortunate today!
Something happened at home, Yuan Ruo needs to go back immediately!

As for discussing poetry, let’s do that another day!”

Qi Heng casually dealt with Molan in front of him, but his eyes were following Minglan, another girl from the Sheng family.

Seeing that Minglan's back was almost out of sight, Qi Heng casually said something to Molan and left with his servant.

Seeing the young master Qi Heng leave like this, Molan couldn't accept it, and could only leave angrily with her maid. Although Sheng Hong made Lin Qishuang, the "time bomb", disappear completely, he did not relax his vigilance against Molan.

Because she has lived with Ringo Frost for many years, she may have developed a character that will do anything to achieve her goals.

Because he was very worried about Molan and Changfeng's character, Sheng Hong was very strict with them.

He also secretly arranged a few smart servants to keep an eye on Molan and Changfeng's every move.

Therefore, the servants immediately told Sheng Hong about Molan's secret meeting with Qi Heng today.

After sending the servant away, Sheng Hong suddenly felt helpless. If a son is not well educated, it is the father's fault. However, no matter how strict he was as a father, Molan could not avoid being influenced by Lin Qinshuang.

"Molan, I heard that you had a long conversation with Qi Heng, the young master of the Duke of Qi's mansion, today?"

Hearing Sheng Hong's question, Molan's face turned pale, and then she looked at the maid beside her viciously, and then she cried and said, "Daddy, Molan has lost her mother!

Dad, you don’t have time to accompany Molan.

Molan just wanted to talk to Brother Yuanruo about her worries!

What's all the fuss about? "

Looking at Molan in front of him, Sheng Hong suddenly felt that she was a replica of Lin Qinshuang, even better than her.

"Molan, is this the etiquette you usually learn?
Don’t tell your brothers and sisters about your worries.

Why did you go to meet a stranger?" Sheng Hong lectured her angrily.

"Dad, why do you say such harsh and unpleasant things?
Is it because Molan lost her biological mother that she can be treated like this?" Molan retorted to Sheng Hong disapprovingly.

Seeing Molan being so self-righteous, Sheng Hong really felt helpless. At this moment, he wanted to kill Ling Qinshuang hundreds of times. What kind of impact did this have on Molan!
"Huh! Molan, you don't really think there's a chance between you and Qi Heng!

He is the only son of the Duke of Qi, and his mother, Princess Pingning, has a domineering personality.

Even Duke Qi himself is not allowed to take a concubine, do you think Princess Pingning will accept you as her daughter-in-law?"

Seeing Molan's expression gradually becoming grim as he analyzed the situation, Sheng Hong suddenly sighed, "Molan, how could your father not know what's on your mind?
Since you want to marry into a wealthy family, Daddy and the Madam will try their best to arrange it!

But you have to know that marrying into a so-called wealthy family is not an easy thing.

It doesn’t mean you can rest easy in the future!”

"The reason why Daddy arranged for you to learn knowledge and various etiquettes is not for your future, right?

Why are you so anxious to belittle yourself? "

"As a father, I shouldn't have to say this to you.

You really disappointed your father today!"

"This is the first time I'm telling you this, and it will be the last time!
If you continue to act as you please and do things that bring disgrace upon our family, your father will not compromise!
When the time comes, your father will arrange for you to become a nun and sever all ties between the Sheng family and you!"

"Oh, father!" Molan was suddenly frightened and stood there in a daze.

Sheng Hong no longer wanted to pay attention to Mo Lan. He stood up and left. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Also, this personal maidservant beside you is no longer suitable to follow you!

Your father will arrange a new maid for you!"
