Princess Pingning held a banquet and many noble ladies from the capital attended. Qi Heng was even forced to attend the banquet. He was now obsessed with the Queen in the palace and the four children she gave birth to for him.

Princess Pingning thought that her son was still thinking about the sixth girl of the Sheng family.

Princess Pingning: "Heng'er, there are so many girls here today, don't you like any of them?"

Qi Heng shook his head, "Mother, I don't want to get married."

Princess Pingning's heart skipped a beat. If her son didn't want to get married, wouldn't that mean their Qi family would be extinct?

"Heng'er, you don't want to marry, do you want our Qi family to be extinct?"

"Our Qi family will never be extinct." The Queen gave birth to four children for him, so how could there be no descendants? It was just a secret between them, and he couldn't tell his mother for the time being.

Princess Pingning had a splitting headache and held her forehead with her hand. She really had no idea what to do with her son. She secretly complained in her heart that she couldn't handle it herself. It seemed that she could only turn to the emperor to arrange a marriage for her son.

Rulan's marriage has also been arranged. Among the girls of the Sheng family, Rulan is the only one who has not yet decided to get married. However, she was implicated by the fourth and sixth girls of the Sheng family and was arranged to marry Gu Tingye.

Now, the daughter Molan of the Sheng family has married Liang Liulang of the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion, and Ruolan has been engaged. Now only the sixth daughter Minglan has not yet found a marriage.

Sheng Minglan was raised by Old Lady Sheng. Looking at her granddaughter whom she raised, Old Lady Sheng couldn't help but feel sad about her Minglan's marriage.

Old Madam Sheng: "Rulan's marriage has been arranged, and Molan has also used dirty tricks to marry into the Liang family. Only your marriage has not been settled yet. With your intelligence and the dowry your grandmother gave you, you will not have trouble marrying into a good family.

My grandmother already had a suitable candidate, the grandson of the He family.

But things are different now. Because you are kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see your cousin being bullied by her husband's family, you interfered in her divorce and went to the building. The news spread out and became more and more outrageous, causing your reputation to be ruined. You will definitely not be able to enter the He family.

The first person that the Liang family's Sixth Brother fell in love with was you, not the Fourth Girl. Grandmother originally thought that the Liang family would be your home, but the Fourth Girl used dirty tricks to snatch Liang Sixth Brother away from you."

Ming girl, you will definitely not be able to marry into a good family.

All the families who had taken a fancy to Ming Yatou before now keep their distance from her.

Those who want to marry Minglan nowadays are either from humble families who are attracted by the Sheng family's dowry, or are divorced or are remarrying... How can those bastards be worthy of marrying Ming girl?

"Grandma, don't say anymore. I won't get married and will stay with you." Sheng Minglan's eyes were filled with tears. Only her grandmother knew how to love her and would make plans for her.

She felt a little regretful for her impulsiveness. If she had not plotted against Molan at the beginning, Molan's reputation would have been ruined and she would have been the one to marry into the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion.

Old Madam Sheng: "Ming girl, don't talk nonsense. Relax. If you can't marry up, you can marry down. Grandmother will give you more dowry."

Now that she has a dowry to fill in the box, Ming girl's in-laws have to think twice if they want to bully her.

The next day, Old Lady Sheng found Sheng Hong and brought up Minglan's marriage.

Minglan was the second after Hai, she brought discredit to the Sheng family and made the entire family a laughing stock in Beijing. Not beating her to death was already a sign of mercy from him as a father.

Even if Old Madam Sheng came forward, Sheng Hong didn't want to work on Minglan's marriage at all. Besides, Sheng Hong was currently worried about his son Changbai's marriage, so he had no time to care about Minglan.

Minglan's marriage was put on hold for the time being.

Minglan was in a bad mood, and Gu Tingye came to her house, and the two met. Gu Tingye had a good impression of Minglan, and seeing that Minglan was unhappy, he tried to comfort her in private. This scene happened to be seen by a maid in the mansion, who went to Madam Wang to complain.

Madam Wang was very angry. She entertained Gu Tingye and spoke in a sarcastic tone. Gu Tingye could hear it, so he sat for a while and then left.

Madam Wang brought her daughter to find Minglan.

"Minglan, you are so shameless, Gu Tingye is Rulan's future husband, how can you be so shameless as to hook up with your sister's husband?

Are you so jealous of your own sister that you would think of this way to ruin your sister's marriage?"

Madam Wang pointed at Minglan and started to speak. After Minglan heard what Madam Wang had said, she finally got a chance to speak. Just as she was about to open her mouth to defend herself, she was interrupted by an angry Rulan: "Don't you look at your own character? If you become someone else's second wife, your in-laws will dislike you."

Minglan felt wronged: "Rulan, mother, I didn't do that. You wronged me."

She admitted that she did have that idea, and she was the one who knew Gu Tingye first.

Mrs. Wang was disgusted by her behavior and interrupted her impatiently, "Okay, stop quibbling. We know exactly who you are."

This girl named Min Gu is smart, scheming, and cruel. Molan's reputation was ruined because of this girl. Ruolan, who is kind-hearted, is no match for this vicious girl. It would be terrible if he kept this girl and ruined Ruolan's good deeds.

Madam Wang vented her anger at Minglan again. She was worried that Minglan would ruin her daughter's marriage, so she thought of marrying Minglan off first to prevent Minglan, that troublesome thing, from always eyeing other people's things.

Minglan, that girl, dared to set her sights on her daughter. Minglan will never have an easy time.

Yang Hao in the palace naturally knew that Madam Wang had been looking for a suitable family for Minglan recently.

But judging from what Madam Wang did, she wanted Minglan to marry a worse woman. Well, good sisters should be together, and it is just right for Minglan and Molan to be sisters-in-law.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao asked people to take action.

Not long after, the wife of Liang Dalang, the eldest son of the Earl of Yongchang, died of illness.

(Those who died due to human involvement in the disease were sent to another time and space.)

Madam Kong: "Madam, are you still worried about the marriage of the sixth lady?"

Madam Wang asked in confusion: "What do you want to say?"

Madam Kong: "The old lady is not trying to find a man worthy of the Sixth Miss. The Earl of Yongchang's Mansion will always be worthy of the Sixth Miss."

"Liang Liulang has already married the fourth girl, and the daughter of the Sheng family cannot set a precedent of becoming a concubine." Madam Wang frowned and disagreed.

Madam Kong: "There is more than one Liang Liulang in the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion. Didn't the wife of Liang Dalang, the eldest son of the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion, just pass away due to illness?"

Madam Wang's eyes immediately lit up: "Are you saying that you want the Sixth Miss to be Liang Dalang's second wife?" The Sixth Miss and the Fourth Miss have always been at odds with each other. Would it be good for them to be sisters-in-law?

Madam Kong: "That is exactly what I meant."

Soon the smile on Madam Wang's face fell, "This is a good idea, but Liang Dalang is a bastard, the old lady will not agree." The old lady loved Minglan the most, and she would never be willing to let Minglan marry a bastard.

Madam Kong: "Madam, although Liang Dalang is a concubine's son, he is the eldest son of a concubine and has the qualifications to compete with the legitimate sons."

"What you said makes sense." Madam Wang thought it was worth a try.

At the suggestion of Madam Kong, Madam Wang proposed to Sheng Hong that Minglan should marry Liang Dalang, the eldest son of the Earl of Yongchang, as his second wife.

In the past, Sheng Hong would definitely not be willing, but now it is different. It is already very good that Minglan can be Liang Dalang's second wife.

The couple worked on the old lady's thoughts for several days before she agreed to marry Minglan to the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion and make her Liang Dalang's second wife.

"Grandmother, father, mother, I don't agree to marry Liang Dalang as his second wife." Minglan refused without thinking.

Why can Molan be the legal wife of the Earl of Yongchang's legitimate son, but she can only be a concubine, and a concubine's concubine at that.

Doesn't this push her into a pit of fire?

Madam Wang spoke before the old lady could speak, "You're still so picky? Minglan, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're still so picky. Aren't you also a concubine's son? Although Liang Dalang is a concubine's son of the Earl of Yongchang, he's still the eldest son of a concubine. If he doesn't despise you and is willing to accept you, you should be happy."

It’s different if you have the eldest son.

Old Madam Sheng frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Alright, your words as a mother are too harsh."

Old Madam Sheng: "Ming girl, Grandmother knows that you are unhappy, but marrying into the Earl of Yongchang's mansion and becoming Liang Dalang's second wife is the best choice."

"Grandma..." Minglan was about to open her mouth to argue, but Sheng Hong interrupted her impatiently. "Okay, it's decided. Get ready to get married."

Before long, news of Liang Dalang's marriage to Minglan spread.

Then Rulan and Gu Tingye got married.
