When Xu Baomo was beaten by his grandparents, Mrs. Ming finally found an opportunity to confess Sheng Lanling's ambitions to Sheng Lanci and his wife in private: "This is all because I failed to teach my daughter well and raised such an evil person who can repay kindness with revenge." Come on - now that I am telling you this, it is not to plead for her. After all, this is not the first time she has sorry for you. At that time, you could still say that she was young and ignorant; now her son is old enough to discuss marriage. He is still obsessed with scheming against his own family, which shows that he is hopeless!"
"I just hope you know that even though I am not Lan Ci's biological mother, I am not so biased that I don't care about right and wrong!"
"Now that Nie Zhan and his group are all under my watch in Lian Yue Pavilion, just tell me what I want to do with them! I have absolutely no objections!"
Sheng Lanci and his wife had already known Sheng Lanling's plan from the servant's report, so after listening to Mrs. Ming's words, they were still calm. They were only slightly surprised that the stepmother did not favor her biological son this time. daughter.
At this moment, the couple looked at each other, and Sheng Lanci said kindly: "Mom said this just because she was out of touch. Although my little sister is a bit arrogant, she is still her own flesh and blood. Besides, you and dad are both here. It's our turn to deal with it." Where is the word '?"
Of course he didn't mean to do anything to Sheng Lanling, but he was just reciprocating the favor to give Mrs. Ming some face.
Old Madam Ming also knew this. She pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and said sadly: "You have always been polite and sensible. Your father and I are still here, and I think you are not willing to say this. In this case, then I will I’m here by myself: I’ll give that evildoer twenty lashes to remember in a moment, and finally let them, mother and son, get out of Nanfeng County, and they won’t be allowed to set foot in the county for the rest of their lives, what do you think?”
Sheng Lanci and his wife were quite satisfied with the result. After all, Sheng Lanling and Sheng Lanci were half-brothers. Even though Mr. Sheng had always favored Sheng Lanci and still did not allow his daughter to re-enter the door, he still She may not be happy to hear the bad news about her daughter.
Mrs. You Ming made a decisive decision and confessed now. Sheng Lanling was only thinking about Sheng Weiqiao but had not done anything yet. Now that her stepmother had already become a lowly child and handed over her daughter to her own disposal, if Sheng Lanci and his wife still wanted to If they are aggressive, they are suspected of being too aggressive - it is not that they are afraid of people's opinions, but just as Sheng Lanci told Sheng Weiqiao before, Mrs. Ming has been accompanying Mr. Sheng for decades, and there is no credit but hard work.
Therefore, even though Mr. Sheng didn't want to recognize Sheng Lanling back, he still acquiesced to the daughter's entry because his wife was heartbroken and fell ill for the daughter.
As a big fan who has always been favored by the old man, he must be merciful just for the sake of the old man, if not for anything else.
Now Mrs. Ming has decided to give Sheng Lanling twenty lashes to vent her anger on Da Fang, and will drive Sheng Lanling, mother and son out of Nanfeng County, and not allow them to come back again. It can be said to completely eliminate the possibility of them plotting against Sheng Weiqiao - even if I In the future, people will quietly help their daughter and grandson, and Sheng Lanci and his wife don't bother to worry about it.
At that moment, they said a few words of pleading meaningfully. Seeing that Mrs. Ming insisted, Sheng Lanci and his wife politely agreed.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to say goodbye. After leaving Chengchun Terrace, Mrs. Ming arrived at Lian Yue Pavilion in three steps and two steps at a time. After entering the door, she ignored Sheng Lanling who immediately rushed to beg for mercy and admitted her mistake. She ordered Mrs. Zhang He went to get the whip, held it in his hand, and said to her: "As the saying goes, to untie a bell, you must tie the bell! It was me, a foolish mother, who spoiled you rotten at your age! You are still a confused person, only knowing how to be vicious and selfish! Now, it’s up to me to wake you up and let you know the severity and consequences!”
As he said that, with a flick of his wrist, the head of the bag was whipped down!
Although the old lady was born into a country squire family, she always stayed in the boudoir when she was in her parents' family. She spent her days either doing needlework or reciting the "Girls' Precepts" and followed the rules. But after marrying Mrs. Sheng, she was no stranger to using whips.
Especially although it is already early winter now, the climate in Nanfeng County is warm, and the chill is not heavy this time. Deep in the inner courtyard of Sheng Mansion in Lian Yue Pavilion, even the northwest wind cannot blow in. Sheng Lanling is wearing purple-bottomed beads. Wearing a brocade shirt with deer patterns against flowers and trees, and a goose-yellow embroidered honeysuckle pattern skirt tied underneath. Although the clothes are gorgeous, they are as thin as cicada wings and cannot provide any protection at all.
Mrs. Ming came down with the whip without any hesitation, and immediately pulled up the brocade shirt without saying a word. She saw a flash of color reflected, and the skin under the brocade shirt was soaked with blood.
Sheng Lanling was shocked and angry, and screamed: "Mom! Do you really want to sell your daughter for glory, and use your daughter's life to flatter the big house?!"
"Selling your daughter for glory? As early as more than ten years ago, when you eloped with the son of the Sang family, you should have died!!!" Mrs. Ming's face was full of tears. She looked at her for a moment, and suddenly she was whipped again. , smiled miserably, "It was thanks to your eldest brother's mediation that you stole all these years of time, but you are not grateful at all, and you even try to repay kindness with hatred, but how can you call yourself the daughter of the Sheng family again?!"
... After a while, a corner door of Sheng Mansion opened, and an inconspicuous carriage with green curtains drove out. There seemed to be faint crying coming from the carriage.
But seeing the carriage speeding along, the driver was not moved at all by the sobs coming from behind. Sheng Lanling inside also gradually stopped sobbing, and only thought with hatred: "I am also the eldest brother's biological sister! What's more, the so-called family There were girls from hundreds of families asking for help, but Sheng Weiqiao was not married, and my son had no wife. I wanted my niece to be my daughter-in-law, but my eldest brother didn’t agree, so I just declined. Instead, he instigated my mother to attack me without saying a word, and even took our mother to her. The three sons were all kicked out - they were simply cruel and ruthless, and they didn't even care about the feelings of flesh and blood!!!"
I also thought about how Mrs. Ming loved me so much when I was a girl. Even though she knew that she deliberately bullied her brother Sheng Lanzi, she was always very indulgent. Now in order not to offend her elder brother, she turned against her and it was all her own fault. A wave of anger suddenly rose up, "You ruthless old guy! Just wait, you ladies will end up in a bad end sooner or later!!!"
Sheng Mansion knew that everyone who passed by after she was driven away knew her hatred and unwillingness.
However, Sheng Lanling is just a weak female, with limited talents. The only people she can rely on are the Sang family and the Sheng family. Now that the Sheng family has driven her away, the Sang family cannot tolerate her. Even if they are resentful, they will not be able to find out much. storm.
Of course, in view of what had been announced to Yu Che, Sheng Lanci sent two confidants to secretly follow her and make sure that she and her two sons were sent out of Nanfeng County and placed in a village in a neighboring county named by Mrs. Ming. rest assured.
"The Zhuangzi place is very remote, and there are a lot of familiar villagers nearby. If you send people there to keep an eye on me, you will easily be discovered by your mother, and I'm afraid your mother's face will not look good." Sheng Lanci privately told Mrs. Feng, " I plan to bribe a salesman to go around the village every two days and keep an eye on it, just in case Sheng Lanling and her son make another move!"
Feng agreed very much and reminded her husband: "Although we have known Sheng Lanling's plan for a long time, since my mother took the initiative to be frank with us and dealt with her biological daughter in this way, we should also express our reaction?"
"My mother is most worried about the second wife." Sheng Lanci smiled and said, "I was just thinking a few days ago that the second wife's children will soon have their mother's filial piety. I don't care about the others, De'er's marriage. , it’s impossible to expect the second brother to take notice, we must help and mention it to our parents first!”
The couple had always cared about Sheng Weide, and now they could take advantage of the situation to return Mrs. Ming's favor, which was killing two birds with one stone. That evening, Sheng Lanci took the opportunity to report the matter to Mrs. Sheng and said: "De'er also has He is sixteen. Although He'er is older than him and has not yet been engaged, his father also knows that He'er will rush to Chang'an soon. If he mentions his marriage, it may distract him! And De'er's biological mother is not around, The stepmother is gone again. The second brother doesn't seem to have any intention of remarrying recently, and it's not a problem that the second wife has never had a mistress to take charge of the middle class... Dad, what do you think? "
In the past two years, Mrs. Sheng has been focusing on Sheng Suihe, fully expecting that the Sheng family will produce a descendant who will win three yuan in succession and be so glorious that even his beloved granddaughter Sheng Weiqiao will be relegated to second place. Sheng Weide, the former eldest grandson, not only forgot about it, but only remembered it occasionally.
At this moment, being reminded by Sheng Lanci, Sheng Weide felt guilty when he thought that his mother had been driven away by him when he was still a baby, and his stepmother was unkind and his father did not love him. The child has always been honest and honest, but he has a biological father like Lance! We have to take a closer look at his wife! It cannot be too honest, because when the couple is wronged together, no one will come out to complain; nor can it be too fierce, Instead, bully our De’er!”
... People are like this. When I heard Mr. Xu talk about the tragic experiences of Xu Zijing, a wife slave, Mr. Sheng thought that like father, like son, Xu Baomoruo also inherited the virtues of his biological father, and he After her granddaughter Sheng Weiqiao got married, she just acted like a domineering person, and she stayed proud and proud all her life without being wronged.
But when it was his grandson Sheng Weide's turn, Mr. Sheng didn't want him to work for other people's daughters!
Of course Sheng Lanci thought the same way - the father and son discussed it for a while, and Mrs. Sheng suddenly thought of a candidate: "By the way, De'er's cousin, that girl from the Ao family... seems to have not been approved yet?"
The Ao family's contact with the Sheng family has returned to normal since Mrs. Ao personally came to visit the year before last. Therefore, Mr. Sheng has no lack of understanding of the current situation of the Ao family. "That girl is seventeen, right? She is much older than our Qiao'er." He is two years old and has not left the cabinet until now. Could it be because of De'er? After all, the Ao family is De'er's direct relatives and they have always taken care of De'er - maybe they want to get married to her? "
The old man became excited, "I've seen that girl before. Although she's not as tall as our Qiao'er, she's still a pretty child! Besides, her aunt is a good one, and I think her niece will be fine too!"
He immediately urged, "If the Ao family intends to marry this girl to De'er, we can't be too stupid. We have to send someone to propose marriage first! We can't let the woman speak, right?"
"..." Sheng Lanci hesitated for a long time, and finally reminded her tactfully, "When the girl came to our house the year before last, I heard people say that she seemed... as if she paid a lot of attention to He'er?"
