Do you know: I am Qi Heng

"What do you mean?"

Mo Lan watched Qi Heng leave, then looked at Ru Lan with a grim expression.

Ask Qi Heng to help her get a post; it shouldn't be a problem.

But Rulan interfered and dragged Minglan into it. With the three of them and their accompanying maids, how many people were there?

Although Madam Wu's polo match was a grand event in Bianjing, there were too many noble families and powerful clans in Bianjing.

If the number of people is not strictly limited, too many people will go, making it not only chaotic but also extremely crowded.

The wives of noble and wealthy families would bring their children there, not only for socializing but also for leisure.

If there are too many people, it may be lively, but how can you enjoy the trip?

"Fourth sister, what you're saying is untrue. I just wanted to join in the fun."

Rulan smiled and said, "Besides, does Fourth Sister intend to go alone? Father and Mother won't allow it!"

"you…"

Mo Lan naturally understood Ru Lan's threat and immediately became furious.

Seeing Mo Lan angry, Ru Lan felt a sense of satisfaction and wanted to provoke her further. Ming Lan quickly advised, "Sisters, if you continue arguing here, it won't be good for anyone when the young master comes back and sees you. Besides, it's almost time for class."

She really didn't know what to say about Rulan. Sometimes Rulan did seize the opportunity to make Molan suffer.

Making Mo Lan suffer a setback had already achieved its purpose of venting anger. However, Ru Lan always liked to be unforgiving, and after Mo Lan suffered a setback, she continued to provoke her.

Overconfident and carried away, he blurted out whatever came to mind, giving Mo Lan a handle to use against him, which she then used to deliberately escalate the situation.

When the matter was brought before Sheng Hong, Mo Lan burst into tears, while Ru Lan acted as if she had done nothing wrong.

When Mo Lan revealed the things Ru Lan had said after getting carried away, Ru Lan ended up being the one punished and embarrassed.

If she wasn't there, she wouldn't bother to intervene even if the two of them got into a fight.

But now that she's here, if the two of them really make a big fuss, Sheng Hong will come looking for her to ask what happened.

What will she say then?

Upon hearing this, Rulan glanced triumphantly at Molan and then turned to leave.

Although she wasn't particularly cunning, she knew she couldn't cause any trouble at the school.

After all, there are two outsiders here: Zhuang Xuejiu and Qi Heng.

Even if she and Mo Lan fought in private, it would only amount to something like being forced to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment.

But if they lose face for the Sheng family in front of outsiders, they'll probably get a beating.

However, when she wanted to leave, Mo Lan refused.

"Some people just don't know their own limitations. Their handwriting is like a dog's paddle. They've been studying with Zhuang Xuejiu for a year, and they still can't understand the Analects," Mo Lan mocked.

"you…"

Rulan said, embarrassed and annoyed, "Only a concubine's daughter like you needs to learn these things. What's the point of me, a legitimate daughter, learning these things?"

"hehe."

Mo Lan sneered, "You just like to bring up the issue of legitimate and illegitimate children. What else do you have to brag about besides that? Your handwriting is worse than even the servants in your household."

"you…"

Ru Lan's face was pale, but Mo Lan's smile became even brighter.

Rulan found the smile on her face increasingly irritating, and in her anger, she stepped forward and shoved Molan.

"Ouch~"

When Mo Lan saw Ru Lan rushing over, she wanted to dodge, but then she had a thought and stopped in her tracks.

Although Rulan acted with resentment, she regained some rationality when pushing and held back some of her strength.

But Mo Lan still fell down and crashed heavily to the ground.

Although it was cold and she was dressed thickly, Mo Lan's elbow hit the blue bricks on the ground, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

When Rulan saw Molan lying on the ground, her mind went blank, and she stood there stunned.

"girl."

"Fourth Sister!"

Mo Lan's maids, Yun Cai and Ming Lan, quickly stepped forward to help her up.

"Ouch...it hurts..."

Mo Lan was helped up, her eyes blurry with tears, constantly crying out in pain, her left arm stiff and motionless.

"I didn't use any force at all..." Rulan came to her senses and said in a panic.

"What happened?"

Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng came out when they heard the commotion and asked with frowns.

Mo Lan just cried and cried out in pain. Ru Lan said in a panic, "I just gently pushed her. I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Sheng Changbai glared at Rulan and said, "Don't say anything more, Sixth Sister, help Fourth Sister to the backyard first."

Now is not the time to inquire about what happened or discuss right and wrong.

Get the person away first; the rest can be dealt with later once the door is closed.

"yes!"

Minglan looked at Molan and asked, "Fourth Sister, are you able to walk?"

"What happened?"

Just then, Qi Heng walked out from a side gate, looked at the crowd gathered around him, and asked with some confusion.

"My fourth sister tripped and fell, I'm sorry Yuanruo had to see that," Sheng Changbai said with a wry smile.

Qi Heng glanced at Mo Lan, who was clutching her arm, and then at Ru Lan, whose eyes were red and who looked flustered, and he made a guess.

"Then let the doctor take a look quickly," Qi Heng said.

"Um."

Sheng Changbai nodded and said, "Fourth sister, you go back first. I'll ask for leave for you from Zhuang Xuejiu."

"yes!"

Mo Lan bowed slightly, looking pitiful, and left with the help of Ming Lan and Yun Cai.

"Fifth sister, you should go back to class," Sheng Changbai said.

"Yes."

Rulan bowed in response and walked towards the school with her maid.

"Yuanruo, I'm sorry you had to see this."

Sheng Changbai knew that his words wouldn't fool Qi Heng.

"It's normal for siblings to argue."

Qi Heng smiled and said, "I don't have any brothers or sisters, but I'm quite envious of them."

"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?" Sheng Changbai shook his head with a wry smile.

…………

Minglan helped Molan to Linxi Pavilion, where Lin Xiaoniang came out to greet them upon hearing the news.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her daughter's disheveled clothes and red, swollen eyes, Lin Xiaoniang asked anxiously.

"My daughter was pushed by my fifth sister and fell to the ground," Mo Lan sobbed.

"Lady Lin!"

Minglan released Molan, gave a slight bow, and said, "I have to go to class, so I'll be leaving now."

"Why."

Lin Xiaoniang stepped forward to help Mo Lan up and thanked her, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Sixth Miss."

"Of course."

Minglan bowed again and left with Xiaotao.

Lin Xiaoniang helped Mo Lan into the courtyard and into the hall.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Lin Xiaoniang sent the maid away and sat down next to Mo Lan to ask.

"Daughter..." Mo Lan recounted what had happened.

Lin Xiaoniang frowned and said, "What's the point of you venting your anger like this? Besides, by doing this, you probably won't be able to go to the polo club either."

While doing this would punish Rulan, it would also make Madam Wang resent her and cause trouble for the mother and daughter.

Although she wasn't afraid of these things, she didn't want to have a pointless conflict with Madam Wang.

"If I don't want to go to the polo club, I won't go!"

Mo Lan gritted her teeth and said, "It's all because of her that Brother Yuanruo has been so indifferent to me. If I don't teach her a lesson, she'll keep causing me trouble."

"That's enough. It's already come to this. Your suffering shouldn't have been in vain," said Lin Xiaoniang.

She didn't have high hopes for Mo Lan's ability to win Qi Heng's favor.

It was actually her suggestion to go to the polo club through Qi Heng.

The goal was to attend these kinds of gatherings that only the wealthy could participate in, and see if they could meet some other rich young men.

But Mo Lan seemed to be serious, her mind completely focused on Qi Heng.

Lin Xiaoniang wanted to correct her daughter's thinking, but seeing her daughter enduring the pain, she held back.
