It's so confusing that all these years of raising him in Shou'antang have been in vain.

Sheng Hong sighed, "Has this matter... spread throughout the house?"

"Master, the fifth girl has always been one to keep her mouth shut, and the magpies around her followed the fifth girl's temper, passing it around. Many servants in the backyard were talking privately about the matter of Young Master Qi and the fifth girl. Those The servants didn’t dare to say anything outside, it probably didn’t spread beyond the backyard.”

The scientific examination is about to take place, and something like this has happened. If Qi Heng is not on the list, and Princess Pingning finds out any more clues, she will be in big trouble. Sheng Hong stroked his forehead and sighed a few more times. .

Inside Shou'an Hall.

As soon as Sheng Hong entered the room, he presented the two collected pens in front of Mrs. Sheng.

Old Mrs. Sheng looked at it for a long time, wondering why. She slowly raised her head and looked at Sheng Hong, "What do you mean?"

He looked at Old Mrs. Sheng and became timid again. He knew clearly that he had the right, but why did he become submissive as soon as he was in front of the old lady? It took a long time before Dongrong explained the reason for the matter.

"Mother, Minglan grew up under your lap. I really don't know how to handle this. What do you think I should do?"

The two looked at each other with extremely complicated expressions. Mrs. Sheng did not expect that Minglan, who was usually the most cautious, would do such a thing.

Then I thought about it, Minglan was raised by herself, how could I not understand her temperament?

Besides, who is the lintel of the Qi family? How could Young Master Qi fall in love with a girl like Minglan?

There must be some misunderstanding, and her intuition told her that someone was causing trouble.

The Sheng family wanted to use this matter to make the family restless.

"Did you really see this? Or did you ask someone to find out the evidence? I know Ming girl's temperament best. She can't do such a thing! This behavior is like that of Lin Qige. Please check Come back and tell me when it's true, don't slander Girl Ming."

No one spoke in the room again. Sheng Hong really didn't ask anyone to investigate thoroughly. The news of this incident was enough to embarrass him. After asking Dongrong to inquire about it, he went straight to Shou'antang.

But when she heard Old Mrs. Sheng mention Lin Qige again, her heart throbbed. Just because she had made a mistake with him once, she blamed Lin Qige for all the bad things.

Even if his mother said he was partial to Lin Qige in the past, he saw that his mother's heart was completely biased towards Minglan.

Sheng Hong, who originally only wanted a solution, turned his mind to Lin Qige again, following the old lady's footsteps.

"You know Rulan's temperament, mother. She is pure and unconcerned. She saw it with her own eyes and cannot fake it."

Mrs. Sheng slapped her palm on the table and said coldly, "Then you mean to say that I'm covering up Girl Ming?"

Sheng Hong took a sip of tea and thought.

"My son doesn't dare. If mother doesn't believe it, she might as well ask Ru Lan to come to Shou'an Hall and tell the whole story."

When Sheng Rulan arrived, mother and son were already sitting stiffly in their seats. Neither of them spoke, only looking at each other in the eyes.

Previously, the magpie was taken away by Dongrong for no apparent reason, and Rulan was terrified.

Unexpectedly, after Magpie took her away, her mother-in-law, who had always relied on her, lost her temper. She picked up the paddle and cried with tears, saying that she was willful and unreasonable. He slapped her several times and hugged her while crying. Only then did she realize that others knew about the Minglan pen given by her young master.

At that time, she just wanted to show off to Mo Lan and suppress Lin Qige's arrogance. She knew that Lin Xiaoniang wanted Mo Lan to climb high and often asked people to ask about Young Master Qi's affairs.

She asked Magpie to give the pen to Mo Lan because she also wanted to tell the people in Linqige that even if the young master likes Minglan, he will not like Mo Lan. Who knew that such a big thing would happen.

Just when she was regretting it, Dong Rong, who was next to her father, asked her to go to Shou'antang again. She was afraid that she would not be able to speak out, and it took a long time before she could finish her words.

The old lady believed it after hearing this. She sighed deeply and held the rosary tightly in her hands.

"Did you witness this with your own eyes?"

Ru Lan was really scared now. Not only was she afraid of the anxious atmosphere between the two of them, but she was also afraid that her grandmother wanted to protect Ming Lan and use her to eavesdrop on disrespectful things, causing her father to severely punish her.

"Grandma... of course I saw it with my own eyes. If you don't believe it, the magpie next to me and the little peach next to the sixth sister know about it."

Sheng Hong rarely took the initiative and looked at Dongrong.

"Dongrong, go and follow Fang's mother to bring Minglan."

Minglan already knew the cause of the incident on the way here, and she was so frightened that she knew what was going on and knelt down on the ground.

Although Mrs. Sheng believed Ru Lan's words, she still felt that there must be some misunderstanding.

"Girl Ming, if you are wronged, just tell me and grandma will make the decision for you."

Cold sweat broke out on Minglan's back. She knew that men and women should avoid suspicion, and this was what her grandmother hated the most.

But at that time, when she thought that the young master was interested in her, she accepted the things by a strange combination of circumstances. The moment she accepted it, she regretted it, but the young master was far away.

"Grandma, father, and young father-in-law just took pity on my bad handwriting. I was punished by Zhuang Xuexuan to copy "Salt and Iron Theory" once a few days ago, so they gave me the pen evenly, saying that the pen is better for handwriting. It’s better, I didn’t expect it to cause such a big trouble.”

Sheng Hong was choked by the old lady a few times before, but now she spoke with a hint of anger.

"So why don't you put this matter in the open and give it to you in a hidden place? As for the water chestnut, is it possible that you are afraid that the Sheng family will make things difficult for you and that you won't be full? So I sent you some. Water chestnut coming?”

Minglan knew that her relationship with Sheng Hong was not close, but she didn't expect that he would be so ruthless and humiliate her. She turned pale for a moment and looked at Old Mrs. Sheng repeatedly.

"Grandma, Minglan is just temporarily obsessed with things."
