"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."
Seeing Hualan lying down and covered with the quilt, Zhou Chen left the main house and came to the room next door where Cuichan was resting.
"Master."
Cui Chan, who was about to take a rest, saw Zhou Chen suddenly come in, and immediately stood up nervously.
Zhou Chen walked over and treated Cui Chan affectionately and familiarly.
After a long time, the room became quiet. Zhou Chen hugged Cui Chan and caressed her gently.
"You went to Sanqing Temple with the lady today. Did something happen?"
Cuichan's expression tensed up, and she said hurriedly, "Ah? Nothing happened."
Zhou Chen lifted Cuichan's chin and stared at her. Cuichan couldn't resist after a while. Her eyes moved around and she didn't dare to look directly at Zhou Chen.
"You have been with the Madam for many years. You and your servant both have one thing in common, which is that you are not very good at lying, especially in front of me. I can tell at a glance whether you are lying or not."
"Why, is there something going on between you and the lady that you can't tell me?"
Cuichan said hurriedly: "No, Master, we never hide anything from you, but this matter is not good for you."
"Did the lady tell you not to tell me?"
"Not really, it's just that..."
"No need to just tell me, just tell me directly, don't worry, I won't tell the lady."
Cuichan looked hesitant and struggled for a long time. She felt that what Zhou Chen said made sense, and the girl did not ask her not to tell Zhou Chen.
"Today, when the young lady took us to Yuqing Temple with the sixth young lady, we met the fourth young lady."
"Fourth Miss, Molan?"
Zhou Chen looked surprised. It had been some time since Lin Qinshuang and Sheng Molan returned to the Sheng Mansion, but he hadn't heard any news from them, so he almost forgot about them.
Now, he suddenly heard Cuichan mention Molan, and in a famous hotel like Yuqing Temple. His first reaction was that Lin Qinshuang and her daughter were up to no good again.
Cui Chan nodded and said rather embarrassedly: "Yes, it was the Fourth Miss. She, she was having an affair with someone in the guest room behind Yuqing Temple."
"Having an affair with whom? Liang Liulang from the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion?" Zhou Chen asked.
"what?"
Cui Chan was a little confused by Zhou Chen's question and said, "It's not Liang Liulang from the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion, but the youngest son of the Duke of Lingguo's Mansion."
Zhou Chen was also shocked: "She had an affair with the youngest son of Duke Lingguo. How did she know the youngest son of Duke Lingguo?"
He really didn't expect this. He thought the plot had been revised and Molan was hooking up with Liang Han again, but it turned out to be the youngest son of Duke Lingguo. How did Molan have the chance to meet the youngest son of Duke Lingguo?
The Mansion of Duke Lingguo has declined a lot over the years. If it were not for the hereditary title of Duke, it would have been lost in the crowd long ago. As for the several sons of Duke Lingguo, they are all extravagant. Although they have the title of Duke, they are just strong on the outside but weak on the inside and have no future at all.
Of course, this is how the Duke Ling's Mansion looks like in the eyes of Zhou Chen and many high-ranking dignitaries, but for ordinary official families, the Duke Ling's Mansion is still out of reach. Even if there is no future for them, as long as they do not commit any crime of treason, they can rely on the title of Duke to keep their family business intact for generations and enjoy wealth and glory.
Even though Lin Qinshuang and her daughter mocked the absurd extravagance of the eldest son of the Duke Lingguo in the TV drama, if they had the chance to marry the eldest son of the Duke Lingguo as his wife, do you think they would agree? I'm afraid they would even beg to marry him.
"We don't know why the fourth young lady knows the youngest son of the Duke of Lingguo, but I saw them having an affair with my own eyes. If it gets out, it will definitely damage the reputation of the young ladies in the Sheng Mansion. The young lady is also worried about this matter."
Zhou Chen understood that if one prospers, all prosper, and if one suffers, all suffer.
Although he felt that with their current status, it would not have much of an impact, but it would not sound good if it got out, and people would easily criticize them behind their backs.
Hualan is actually a person who cares a lot about face, which is somewhat similar to Wang Ruofu.
To Zhou Chen, it was not strange at all that Molan was having an affair. What was a little strange was that the target had changed to the eldest son of Duke Lingguo.
Also, it is obvious at first glance that this matter is related to Minglan. She must have wanted revenge, so she directed this scene and specially called Hualan.
But Minglan has already married into the Duke of Qi’s Mansion, so Zhou Chen is quite curious about how she did it.
"Did the lady tell me how to do it?"
"The young lady has discussed this with the Sixth Young Lady. This matter should not be made public. We will discuss it with Lord Sheng and the Madam tomorrow when we return to the Sheng Mansion."
"Okay, I understand. Take a rest."
Zhou Chen did not ask any more questions. Since the incident had already happened, it meant that Minglan had been planning this for a long time. This time, Lin Qinshuang was probably really finished. As for Molan, it was hard to say.
He originally hated Lin Qinshuang and her daughter, so even though he knew that this was Minglan's plan, he was happy to see it happen. It would be best to kill the mother and daughter with one blow to prevent them from jumping out and annoying him in the future.
The next day, Hua Lan personally returned to Sheng Mansion, found Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu, called them together, and told them about the matter quietly.
When Wang Ruofu heard that Molan was having an affair, she jumped up in shock.
"Hua'er, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? It was really that bitch Molan who was having an affair with someone?"
Hua Lan answered with great certainty, "Of course I am not mistaken. It was Mo Lan. My sixth sister and I met her when we went to Sanqing Temple. Cui Chan followed us and saw with her own eyes that Mo Lan had an affair with the youngest son of the Duke of Lingguo. My sixth sister and I waited until they left before we went over to take a look. What a huge bed it was."
Sheng Hong's face was full of doubt, and he kept saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, Hua'er, Mo'er is your biological sister, you can't be so mean to your own sister."
"Dad, you also said that Molan is my sister. Although there may be some conflicts between us, we are a family after all. How could I frame her for such a thing? If the news of her having an affair gets out, what good will it do me?"
Hua Lan looked unhappy: "What I said is the truth. If you don't believe me, I'll ask someone to call Sixth Sister back, and you can ask Sixth Sister again."
Wang Ruofu said immediately: "Okay, I will send someone to the Duke of Qi's mansion to call..."
"Shut up, you."
Sheng Hong stamped his feet in anger: "You really plan to yell."
Wang Ruofu said confidently, "Of course you have to scream. It's because you don't believe that bitch is having an affair. I believe what Hua'er said. She is the daughter of that bitch Lin Qinshuang. Like mother, like daughter. I'm shocked that she could do such a thing, but it's not surprising. Don't forget how that bitch Lin Qinshuang climbed into your bed in the first place."
"Shut up, shut up right there. Why are you talking about these old things in front of your daughter?"
Sheng Hong's face turned red with anger. He really had no idea what to do with his wife, and all he could say came out at once.
"I still don't believe it. Mo'er is a very well-behaved child. How could she do such a thing? There must be some misunderstanding."
Hua Lan said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of misunderstanding could there be? I saw it with my own eyes. How can I really accuse her? Dad, I know you love her, but you can't have no bottom line at all."
Sheng Hong was already reassured, but he still said stubbornly: "I don't believe it. Unless I see it with my own eyes, I won't believe it."
I'm still not feeling well today, and I have some things to do at home, so I don't have much time to write, so I can only update once!!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 1162: Father and daughter quarrel, Sheng Hong catches his mistress, Sheng Mansion in chaos
Hua Lan was furious at the lack of trust in Sheng Hong's words. Even though she had lived a life of luxury for many years, the lack of trust from her closest relatives still made her unable to control her anger.
"Father, I really can't understand your thoughts. I am the eldest daughter of the Sheng family and the principal wife of the Duke of Jingguo's mansion. Do I need to make up lies to ruin the reputation of a half-sister? What good will this do me?"
"Father favored Lin Xiaoniang and Molan at the beginning, making a mess at home. Later, they fell ill, so he sent them to a farm outside the city. Our home was so peaceful and quiet, with a loving father and filial children, and we were all in harmony. But you, father, insisted on bringing them back and making this family a mess."
Sheng Hong was furious: "Are you blaming me? Yes, you are the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, you are great, but this is the Sheng family, not the Duke of Jingguo Mansion. If you want to blame me as your father, you are being disobedient and unfilial."
Hua Lan said, "Father, I knew you would say that. Every time you encounter something, you just retreat and blame others. Now something like this has happened. For the sake of our family, I told you, but you didn't believe me and even said I was lying. Why can't you reflect on yourself? If it weren't for you, father, doting on Miss Lin, there wouldn't be so many bad things in our family."
"You, you, you are so good, now you are the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, a lady of the first rank, and you have become more powerful. You have started to teach me a lesson. You, you, are disobedient and unfilial. How could I give birth to a daughter like you?"
Sheng Hong was so angry that he wanted to hit Hua Lan, but when he raised his hand, he didn't have the courage to put it down. He was so anxious that he walked around the room, muttering to vent his anger.
Hua Lan was no longer afraid of Sheng Hong's anger, and continued, "Father, this is not about whether I am disobedient or not. The most important thing now is Mo Lan's matter. If the news of her affair with the youngest son of Duke Lingguo gets out, then our Sheng family will be affected;"
"I'm not afraid, but what about my fifth and sixth sisters in their husband's family? And your and Changbai's careers, father, will be dragged down by such a reputation and will surely be ridiculed. Then the Sheng Mansion will truly fall into the abyss."
Sheng Hong paused for a moment. When Hua Lan mentioned his daughters, he didn't care much, but when she talked about his and his eldest son's career, he admitted that he became nervous.
The one who was even more nervous was Wang Ruofu. These were her husband, her daughter, and her son. She was several times more nervous than Sheng Hong.
"My lord, my lord, Hua'er is my firstborn daughter. She has always brought honor to us since she was a child. Now you don't believe her words, but insist on believing the bitch born by that bitch, and you want to gamble the reputation of the children with the Sheng family. My lord, are you really bewitched by a ghost, or have you been bewitched by that bitch?"
Sheng Hong's expression kept changing. He could ignore everything else but he had to consider his own face and the future of the Sheng family.
"Hua'er, is what you said true?"
"Father, do you still not believe me after all this? If you still don't believe me, then you can go and catch them yourself. This is definitely not the first time that Molan and the others have done this. They will definitely do it again in the future. You can keep an eye on Molan first. As long as she goes out, follow her. You will definitely catch her having an affair."
When Sheng Hong heard Hua Lan's idea, he jumped up in surprise again.
"You want me, a father, to catch my daughter committing adultery?"
"Otherwise, if Father doesn't believe me even if I tell him, then you can only go and catch it yourself."
Wang Ruofu agreed very much: "Sir, I think Hua'er's idea is good. If we want to arrest them, we should arrest them on the spot. Otherwise, who knows how the mother and daughter will pretend to be unconscious and deny it."
In fact, according to her personality, she should have gone to capture Lin Qinshuang and her daughter by now, but Hualan greeted her first when she came back, so she was mentally prepared and knew what to do correctly.
Sheng Hong's face was gloomy and uncertain. He wanted to confront Lin Qinshuang and her daughter right now, but he was not really stupid. He was just obsessed with Lin Qinshuang's gentle trap. In fact, he still had his own judgment.
After a long time, he finally spoke, saying in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I'll do as you said. Wait until Mo'er goes out next time and notify me."
This time, the family of three reached a preliminary consensus that everything would be discussed later after the perpetrators were caught.
Once the relationship between a man and a woman is revealed, it is indeed difficult to control. Moreover, Molan approached him with a purpose, so after a few days, Molan went out again and went to Sanqing Temple.
Just when Molan went to Sanqing Temple, Wang Ruofu, who had been keeping an eye on her, immediately got the news.
At this time, she was really nervous and difficult to control herself. She naturally believed her daughter Hualan, but no matter how much she believed, it was not as good as seeing it with her own eyes.
Now everything is developing as Hualan said. She is excited and nervous. She can't wait to catch it, but she is also worried that she can't achieve her goal.
But no matter what, she took people out of the house immediately, notified Sheng Hong, and then took all the servants who had signed the death contract with her.
Today, the Sheng family is a very famous family in the city of Bianjing. The three daughters who have married out have all married well. Two of them married into the Duke's Mansion, one is the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, one is the future eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, and the other is also a very promising wife of a Jinshi.
In addition, there are two people serving as officials in the court, and the eldest son has a bright future.
If the news of the daughter of the Sheng family having an affair were to get out, it would definitely have a huge impact. Not only would people laugh their heads off, but she would also not be able to face any gatherings with the lady of Beppu in the future.
The weather today was clear and sunny, but no one in the Sheng Mansion was in the mood to appreciate it. They all rushed to the Sanqing Temple with solemn expressions.
Sheng Hong came in a hurry and looked extremely unhappy, but Wang Ruofu didn't care whether he looked good or not.
"Sir, they have already gone in. Do you want to go over now or later?"
Sheng Hong looked embarrassed and glared at Wang Ruofu with dissatisfaction, then rushed towards Yuqing Temple with his men.
He had already accumulated countless resentments and anger, so how could he wait patiently? He brought his people to the guest rooms in the backyard of Yuqing Temple. The maid who had been keeping watch outside was controlled by the people of the Sheng family without making any sound.
Led by the servants, he rushed into the yard and came to the door.
Sheng Hong was just about to push the door open with all his might when suddenly, he heard an obscene sound that was intolerable to his ears from inside the house. His body instantly stiffened and he could no longer exert any strength to push the door.
His body seemed to collapse instantly and he slowly withdrew his hand. It was already embarrassing enough. If he pushed the door open at this moment and saw an even more embarrassing scene, he really didn't know how to end it.
So he could only put down his hand dejectedly, turned around and left. After waiting for a long time, he felt that it was about time, then he pushed the door open with force and rushed into the house.
When he rushed into the room and saw the big bed, two disheveled men and women, and clothes scattered all over the floor, he felt his blood rushing to his head.
"what!"
He let out a shrill scream, then turned his head away suddenly, unable to bear to look at this disgusting scene any longer.
Molan and the youngest son of Duke Ling were both scared to death. They hurriedly pulled up their clothes to cover their bodies. Molan even screamed in panic.
"You are such a disgrace. You have brought shame upon the Sheng family. Put on your clothes. Put on your clothes."
After giving Molan some time, Sheng Hong yelled again: "Come in, everyone, tie up this whore, tie her up."
A group of servants who had been waiting outside rushed in immediately.
Sheng Hong wailed in pain: "Hurry up and tie her up for me, tie her up!"
The male servants didn't dare to get close, but the strong maids rushed in and tied Molan up with ropes.
The youngest son of Duke Lingguo stood aside and did not dare to stop it. It was his fault in the first place, and the fact that people did not tie him up was already giving him face.
Seeing Molan tied up and gagged, Sheng Hong outside shouted again: "Take her back, don't let anyone see her."
"Yes, my lord."
Wang Ruofu, who had been waiting, was relieved when she saw that they were caught red-handed. She wanted to see how this bitch mother and daughter would get away this time.
Sheng Hong brought a group of people back to the Sheng Mansion. He questioned Molan first, called several maids in Molan's room over, and beat them up severely. After learning about the whole situation, he became even more furious.
After a long time, Lin Qinshuang finally arrived, and then she pretended to be faint and begged for mercy, trying to get away with it.
But this time's incident is different from the previous ones, so Sheng Hong naturally can't let it go easily.
At the Jingguo Mansion, Hualan had already learned that her parents were going to Yuqing Temple today to catch Molan having an affair, so she had been waiting for news.
But what she didn't expect was that before the news from the Sheng Mansion could be received, the people in the mansion heard another piece of news first.
"What, what you said is true, and it has really spread throughout the city of Bianjing?" Hualan asked Cuichan in shock.
