I've watched the original novel and TV series of "Story of Minglan" several times, and some characters have left me with deep regrets.
These include the Old Madam Sheng who lost h...
The next day, Shan Ge'er was escorted to the farm by Song Gang.
After this incident, the entire Sheng family's second branch became even quieter than before. Even Hong Yi Niang, whose belly was growing larger and larger, kept her mouth shut and stayed in the courtyard, not venturing out.
When Concubine Chun returned to Daqing Manor, she was still happy when she saw Shan Ge'er who had been sent back by Song Gang. Shan Ge'er was in good health and did not seem to feel any discomfort from the long journey.
Aunt Chun thanked Song Gang with gritted teeth, closed the door, and saw the grinning Xian Ge'er. She walked over and pinched his butt. Then, Aunt Chun covered Xian Ge'er's mouth to prevent him from crying out, pinching him four times in a row. Only after her anger subsided a little did she let go of Xian Ge'er. The little Xian Ge'er's face was covered with tears, and he subconsciously hid against the wall.
After putting down Shan'er, Concubine Chun sat in front of the bronze mirror in the room, brushing her bangs a little, thinking about how to win Sheng Huairen's heart so that he could take her back to the mansion. Concubine Chun saw that things were different from before. There were more brightly colored dresses in the clothes box. Concubine Chun had only worn a pink dress once in her life, when she entered the mansion. Now she was wearing a scarlet dress.
As the night deepened, Aunt Chun lifted her bangs again and whispered with a smile as beautiful as a flower: "Daddy, who would have thought that my daughter would become your biological mother."
Xu Wen, who was sleeping soundly, inexplicably felt a slight chill on her body. She frowned and whispered, "It's cold, add another quilt." Then Qiu Ling, who was on duty, took out a thinner quilt from the cabinet and covered Xu Wen with it. Seeing that Xu Wen's face had relaxed, she lowered the bed curtains and slumped back on the couch beside the bed.
"Sister Jiao, I'm here to see you." Xu Wen heard that Lin Jiaoniang was bedridden, so she took the opportunity to buy New Year's goods to visit Yu's house.
Lin Jiaoniang, whose face was slightly haggard, had a smile in her eyes: "I'm so glad you're finally here. It's been almost a month since we last saw you. I'm so sad. It would be good if Mr. Sheng could suffer less pain."
Supporting Lin Jiaoniang half leaning against the bed, Xu Wen said with some sadness: "My father-in-law treats me very well. I feel really guilty for not being able to fulfill my filial duties often."
Lin Jiaoniang reached out and patted Xu Wen's hand, comforting her: "Don't think too much. Raise Shu'er well, and that will be the greatest filial piety."
At this moment, Lin Jiaoniang's sons, Yu Jiaxing and Yu Jiade, came in and saluted the two. The two boys were strong and handsome, and Xu Wen's sadness faded a lot. Xu Wen took out two purses and gave them to the two men. Seeing Lin Jiaoniang nod, the two men bowed and thanked her before accepting the gifts.
After the two men left, Xu Wen said with envy, "Sister, you are so lucky. The two brothers look healthy. In the future, the brothers will work together to help each other. There is nothing better than this."
Lin Jiaoniang, who had regained some spirit, said angrily, "You are younger than me. Maybe you can still give Shu Ge'er a younger brother. Don't be jealous of my boy."
Xu Wen, though shy, knew in her heart that Shu Ge'er would never have a biological brother in his lifetime. He did have a half-brother, but she didn't know whether he would be a help or a hindrance in the future.
Lin Jiaoniang had caught a cold, but it wasn't serious. Her husband, Yu Shuyuan, was worried, so she stayed in bed. Xu Wen arrived, and the two played a few rounds of chess on the couch. Only when the servants announced Yu Shuyuan's return did Lin Jiaoniang jump off the couch and get back into bed.
Xu Wen couldn't help but smile at the mischievous Lin Jiaoniang. She envied Lin Jiaoniang. They both married a poor family man, but Lin Jiaoniang met the man who would give her her all her life, while Xu Wen chose the wrong man.
