Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

After driving the Zou mother and daughter away without explanation, Shen Congxing said softly to Madam Zou, "Don't cry. I know it has not been easy for you these years. Now that my mother-in-law and my aunt have gone back, I want you to do me a favor."

Mrs. Zou's tears were still flowing, and she was already saying, "Just give me your orders, sir."

Shen Congxing: "I will write a note for the Madam, asking Minglan to come home again tomorrow. Please ask your personal servant to help deliver the letter, otherwise I, as a man, am afraid that I will be rude to my sister-in-law."

Madam Zou: "Sending the letter is no problem. But why do you need Minglan to come over? I really don't need her to accompany me every day."

Shen Congxing: "It was her reminder today that helped us figure out so much. Now that my mother-in-law and my aunt refuse to accept it, I have no other choice but to resort to violence. Why not ask Minglan to come over and see if she has any good ideas?"

Mrs. Zou suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes. Ming'er is so smart, he will definitely find a way!"

……

The next day, Minglan visited the general's mansion again.

Today, Miss Zou was not seen jumping up and down. Shen Congxing took a leave of absence and stayed at home to manage the affairs personally. In order not to make Minglan feel awkward, he also specially invited his sister to come home. This Miss Shen San was General Zheng's wife.

Seeing Minglan, Shen San's face was quite unhappy. He didn't even bother to show any courtesy and asked directly, "I heard that you had a lot of things with my brother and sister-in-law yesterday, which led to Sister Zou being kicked out?"

Minglan: "No. I just chatted with Aunt Zou for a while, and we talked about the old news of Youyang."

Shen San: "Don't quibble. Sister Zou Si came to our house and cried this morning, saying that it was after you left that my brother and sister-in-law had that idea. To be honest, this is our Shen family's family affairs. How can you, a junior, have the nerve to interfere?"

Hearing this, she still stood on the side of Miss Zou Si.

Shen Congxing interrupted her: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have made it very clear that this is the best arrangement for our Shen family and the Zou family."

Shen San said angrily, "Brother! Don't you think about what would happen if the family she marries treats her badly? Sister-in-law has done so much for our Shen family, how can we treat the Zou family badly? You don't know how sad Sister Zou was when she came to my yard this morning!"

Minglan: "I saw Aunt Zou yesterday, she was crying very sadly too."

Shen San: "She was crying because she was sick."

Minglan: "Did you go to see her in person? Or did you hear it from someone else?"

Shen San: "I... I heard it from Sister Zou Si. She takes care of my sister-in-law every day, so she knows more than me. My sister-in-law has a contagious disease, and my sister-in-law... she wouldn't let me in to see her."

Minglan: "But I went in. Do you think I was infected?"

Shen San choked.

Minglan: "Aunt Zou just doesn't want you to be involved in the affairs of the Zou and Shen families, so she won't let you in. It's not because of any infection."

Shen Congxing's eyes darkened.

Shen San: "Is this...is this true, brother?"

Shen Congxing sighed: "Your sister-in-law is the best person in the world." He did not give a direct answer, but this sentence was almost equivalent to an admission.

No matter how dumb Shen San was, she understood what was said. She asked blankly, "What...what on earth is going on?"

Minglan: "The old lady of the Zou family forced her to be separated from all of us so that the fourth lady of Zou could marry General Shen smoothly and take over from my aunt as the mistress of the general's mansion."

Shen San: "If my sister-in-law is gone, our Shen family will naturally accept fourth sister into the house. Why are you forcing my sister-in-law like this? They... aren't they a family?" Shen San is also the youngest daughter in the family, but because she grew up in a relatively wealthy family, she was spoiled and innocent, and didn't understand so many twists and turns.

Minglan decided not to beat around the bush with her and pointed out bluntly: "Aunt Zou is a kind, tolerant and yielding person. The Zou family knew her character and forced her to pave the way for her own sister while she was still alive."

Shen San was shocked: "You...you are talking nonsense! How could the Zou family be like this!"

Minglan: "If you don't believe me, why don't you ask the uncle? See if it's what I said."

Shen Congxing sighed again.

Shen San looked at his expression and was even more surprised: "Brother... did you know it from the beginning?"

Shen Congxing nodded.

Shen San: "Then why did you agree?! Wouldn't this make my sister-in-law swallow a huge grievance?!"

Shen Congxing whispered, "It's my fault for being confused. It's all my fault for being confused."

Minglan: "Don't blame yourself, uncle. It was the Zou family who took advantage of Aunt Zou's kindness. You respect and love my aunt, so naturally you are very kind to her."

Although this was the truth, Shen Congxing still felt that he had been given a big ladder, and said to Minglan gratefully: "My sister-in-law is really a wise person!"

Minglan sighed in her heart: I was bullied like this in the Sheng family before, so I naturally understand my aunt's plight.

Shen San was a man who could correct his mistakes and immediately said to Minglan, "I'm sorry, it turns out I was wrong about you!"

Minglan: "Mrs. Zou Si knew that you were soft-hearted, so she said a lot of things to you to make you feel sorry for her. Aunt Zou and the uncle were afraid of getting you into trouble, so they refused to tell you the truth. So you naturally couldn't make the right judgment. It's not your fault."

Shen Congxing put himself in the shoes of the teacher, "Yes, it's really my fault. I was too concerned and confused. Sister-in-law, I listened to what the eldest lady said yesterday and I felt that your method was excellent. But my mother-in-law and aunt refused to accept it. They had a very unpleasant quarrel at home last night... Do you have any good ideas to help me get out of this predicament?"

He looked as if he was asking for advice on military strategy.

Minglan: "It is a good move for the uncle to transfer people out of the general's mansion. In this way, no one will say those things to my aunt anymore. My aunt will have peace of mind and maybe she will get better faster. If my aunt gets better, then the Zou family won't have to stuff another daughter in. This is one reason."

Shen San: "What about the second one?"

Minglan: "Ask the Queen to choose a husband for Lady Zou Si as soon as possible, and then ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage. Then, the matter will be settled."

Shen Congxing: "I'm afraid the Zou family will go to the government to make trouble."

Minglan: "What are you arguing about? You don't want to be the eldest lady of a noble family, but you want to be the concubine of the general? Even if they dare to say this, which great official in the court will speak for them? My uncle, you should have done this while my aunt is still here. Otherwise, if the situation we least want to see really happens, the position of the mistress of the general's mansion will be vacant, and it will be natural for the Zou family to ask for repayment."

Shen Congxing nodded repeatedly. Shen San frowned and said, "But what if Sister Zou doesn't like the person we choose for her? After all, this is her lifelong event!"

Minglan: "I'm going to say something I shouldn't say. Right now, Miss Zou can only see the uncle of the emperor. Even if the queen finds a fairy for her, she won't be able to see him."

Shen Congxing picked up the teacup and drank water to hide his embarrassment, but he drank too quickly and choked and coughed repeatedly.

Shen San stared at his brother for a while and said, "Actually, Sister Zou Si is not completely without fault. She knew that my brother and sister-in-law were in love, but she still wanted to marry my brother. This is too disregarding of sisterly affection."

Minglan agreed, "If she and the old lady of the Zou family really cared about my aunt, they should have been more considerate of my aunt and asked the uncle to talk to my aunt more and make her happy, instead of forcing my aunt with the so-called family interests, leaving her isolated and helpless during her illness and crying. They are clearly sucking blood from my aunt."

Shen Congxing felt even more pained after hearing this. He stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, Third Sister, I will go to the palace to ask to see the Queen. Please help me keep an eye on her at home and don't let anyone disturb my Madam's rest."

Minglan: "Wait a minute, my Lord. Can you leave a few guards with martial arts skills near my aunt's yard? It's easy for the two of us to guard the gate, but I'm afraid someone will do something in the dark. The best way is to surround my aunt's yard so that no one can get in or out."

Therefore, the guards who had quarreled with the Zou mother and daughter yesterday, along with a team of Shen Congxing's confidants, were kept and surrounded Madam Zou's yard tightly.

However, something unexpected happened.
