Princess Pingning saw that the eldest lady did not spit, so she knew that she had no choice but to attack Sheng Hong.

So after returning to the Duke of Qi's mansion, he asked the Duke of Qi to look for Sheng Hong.

In fact, Qi Guogong never had any opinion on who Qi Heng should marry.

When Qi Heng failed the exam for the first time, he became happy because of Minglan's comfort.

The princess was angry. Duke Qi wanted to see what Minglan looked like and whether she was pretty!

After receiving the instructions from the princess, Duke Qi paid a visit immediately without any delay.

As for Sheng Hong, he was shocked after hearing what the eldest lady said.

"Young Master Qi wants to marry Minglan?"

Sheng Hong wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, or if the eldest lady had lost her head and misheard Princess Pingning's words.

Sheng Hong asked suspiciously: "Are you sure it's Minglan, not Rulan?"

Although he felt that Rulan was uneducated and not as beautiful as Minglan.

But no matter what, Ru Lan is the legitimate daughter of the Sheng family and Mo Lan's most beloved sister.

Besides, Ru Lan can also learn elegant things, such as arranging flowers, lighting incense and tea.

Even the housekeeper learned a little from Mo Lan.

How can Minglan compare to Rulan? That’s all because of her good-looking appearance.

I didn’t expect that Young Master Qi would like this?

Sheng Hong was puzzled.

The eldest lady was not surprised.

"Minglan looks like Miss Wei."

Doesn't this sentence alone explain the problem?

If Lin Sushuang was not good-looking, could Sheng Hong pamper her like a jewel?

Sheng Hong didn't know why he was so passionate about Lin Sushuang and didn't like Wei Xiaoniang's temperament, so he had been cold and indifferent to Wei Xiaoniang for so many years.

If it were in another house, how could Wei Xiaoniang be left out?

Sheng Hong thought about it.

Mu Ai was young, and Qi Heng was also a young man.

"This……"

Sheng Hong was in trouble for a while.

He didn't have any objections to Qi Heng.

After all, he also watched Qi Heng grow up, so he knew everything about him.

But the problem is that if Minglan is married to Qi Heng, none of his daughters will marry into the Qingliu family.

Hua'er married to Earl Zhongqin's mansion, and Mo'er married King Huan.

Ru Lan... Mo'er said that he wanted to find a good family for Ru Lan. The candidate he proposed last time was the nephew of the British Duke, who was also from an honorable family.

If Minglan marries a distinguished noble again... I'm afraid it won't look good on her face.

Their Sheng family was a civil servant and a Qingliu family.

It turns out that the in-laws are all nobles, how does it look like when you tell them?

Sheng Hong hesitated.

If Mo Lan was not Princess Huan now, he would definitely not let go of Ming Lan's opportunity to marry her.

But with Mo Lan here, it is obvious that the Sheng family will be better off in the future. Sheng Hong is really not that anxious about Minglan's marriage.

To put it bluntly, I just don’t love you.

Sheng Hong didn't love Minglan, so everything was considered from the perspective of the Sheng family.

He never thought about whether Minglan's quality of life would deteriorate if she married a poor student.

After all, no matter how little Minglan was taken seriously, the wealth of the Sheng family was enough even for a concubine.

I never thought about whether the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be bad if Minglan married.

At this moment, the Duke of Qi came to visit.

The eldest lady curled her lips, turned around, and left.

Duke Guo of Qi didn't talk nonsense with Sheng Hong, and after a few words of greeting, he went straight to the topic.

As a result, after seeing Sheng Hong's ambiguous attitude, Qi Guogong understood instantly.

This is a concern!

The Duke of Qi gritted his teeth and directly used the Duke of Qi's mansion as a bargaining chip.

He told Sheng Hong in a vague way that if Qi Heng married Sheng Minglan, then the Qi family would be in the same position as the Sheng family.

In fact, it was not all about Qi Heng, he also wanted to show his loyalty to King Huan and the official family by marrying Minglan.

What could be more reassuring for officials than marriage?

no way.

Duke Guo of Qi finally understood the situation.

Although the wife grew up beside the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother may not treat their family sincerely.

When she was forced to stay by King Yong, if the Queen Mother really wanted to help, she would not be helpless.

Since the Queen Mother is hypocritical, why are they still so determined?

Now that the official family has not fully consolidated power, if they don't show their loyalty at this time, should they wait until the Queen Mother is completely defeated before they can join her?

Sheng Hong thought about it and felt that this would not only help King Huan, but also help the Sheng family.

In the end, he agreed.

By the time Minglan learned the news, Qi Guogong had already gone home to prepare gifts.

"Lord, what did you say?!"

When Wei Xiaoniang heard that Sheng Hong said that she wanted to marry Minglan to Qi Heng, she felt like she was struck by lightning.

She shook her lips and forced out a weak smile: "Master, Minglan... Minglan is just a concubine, how can she be worthy of Young Master Qi?"

Sheng Hong didn't hear the displeasure in her words and waved his hand.

"It was the Duke of Qi who came to visit them personally. They took the initiative to ask for marriage, so Minglan naturally deserves it."

When Wei Xiaoniang heard Sheng Hong's words, she felt so choked up that she could not speak.

How did that happen?

I have obviously stopped it, but it is of no use...

She closed her eyes weakly.

No one can dissuade Sheng Hong from his idea.

Her tomorrow...

After hearing the news, Minglan felt very complicated and didn't know whether she should be happy.

After all, he was going to marry the person he had always wanted to marry...

But in her heart, she was not as excited as she imagined.

Seeing Wei Xiaoniang's dejected look, Minglan suppressed the discomfort in her heart.

"Little miss, you... don't be sad. Maybe the princess will be nice to me for the sake of my fourth sister?"

Wei Xiaoniang rubbed her forehead.

His tone was full of weakness: "Maybe..."

Now, what else can she say?

And Mo Lan got the news the next day.

She was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, the pair Minglan and Qi Heng would finally get together.

But she didn't care either.

Because there is a new situation on Rulan's side.

Maybe Ru Lan saved Mao'er and left a deep impression on Zhang Wenxiu.

Or maybe Ru Lan is indeed Zhang Wenxiu's favorite.

After Zhang Wenxiu returned, he asked people to inquire among the ladies in Bianjing to see if there was anyone named Sheng.

He has been away all year round and has only returned to Bianjing in recent days. He is not very familiar with the dignitaries in Bianjing, let alone the female family members.

As a result, when the servant heard about the lady named Sheng, he immediately blurted out: "Isn't that the Sheng family?"

Zhang Wenxiu was stunned: "Is the Sheng family famous?"

"The Sheng family is a newly rich family!" the boy said hurriedly: "Princess Huan is the daughter of the Sheng family."

"Princess Huan?"

Zhang Wenxiu couldn't help but frown.

He really didn't know what Princess Huan's surname was. After all, he was a man. How could he possibly know the name of a female family member?

Could it be that...that little lady is Princess Huan's sister?

"Is there no other Sheng family in Bianjing?"

The boy was stunned by the question and said uncertainly: "Maybe... no?"

"Go check."

Zhang Wenxiu is a little confused. If this is really Princess Huan's sister... my uncle may not be able to pass this test easily.

After all, my uncle was aloof and arrogant. He ignored Yuzhou's old ministers and did not participate in the struggle between the officials and the Queen Mother.

If it were me and Sheng Rulan...

I'm afraid my uncle will be unhappy...

Zhang Wenxiu couldn't help but pace around. The newly adopted kitten rubbed against his feet and meowed.

He couldn't help but pick it up, put it in front of his eyes and asked about it.

"Stupid, what do you think we should do?"
