Chapter 166 Meeting Huang Fuxiang by chance
Sheng Hong saw that the old lady had made up her mind and did not argue. He just thought about arranging more people to escort the old lady.
"Mother, when you go back to your hometown, will you take Chang Zhang with you?"
"I want to take Chang Zhang with me. First, he will accompany me and relieve my boredom along the way. Second, I also want him to travel thousands of miles. Chang Zhang is good at studying and has a high level of comprehension. He understands everything in the book, but it is ultimately just talk on paper. I want to take him to see the scenery outside."
"Mother and son have the same idea. Then I will talk to Mr. Zhuang and ask for a long vacation for Chang Zhang. Mr. Zhuang has been in our house for so many years and has never had a long vacation. It's a good opportunity for Mr. Zhuang to have a rest."
After it was decided, the old lady was happy, "Okay!"
"I will also accompany grandma back to my hometown in Youyang!"
A figure walked in from the door, and the old lady and Sheng Hong were both surprised.
"Mo'er? When did you come?" Sheng Hong asked in surprise when he saw Mo Lan walk in.
"When grandma said she was going back to her hometown in Yuyang, I was outside the door. I heard grandma and father talking, so I waited outside the door and didn't come in to disturb them." Molan said with her head lowered.
"You can't go back!"
Sheng Hong's voice suddenly rose. Minglan took back her foot that was about to step inside. She stood outside the door like Molan. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Molan waiting outside the door, but she didn't go in. Just when she was about to call her fourth sister, Molan went in. Minglan followed and heard Sheng Hong's unquestionable words.
"Why can't my daughter go back to Yuyang? I just want to be with grandma and show my filial piety. Why does my father stop me?"
Molan looked at Sheng Hong with red eyes. Sheng Hong looked at Molan's stubbornness and felt a little discouraged for a moment. He didn't know how to talk to her.
"In any case, you just can't go back!" Sheng Hong said firmly.
Molan was about to cry. She wanted to ask Sheng Hong loudly whether there was really something strange about her mother's death, so he always stopped her from going to Youyang.
"Mo girl, your father is doing this for your own good. Grandmother knows that you are filial, but the journey back to Youyang is long, and you are weak. Your father and grandmother don't want you to have a bumpy journey."
Molan wanted to shout, these are all excuses, you just don't want me to go back. But Molan didn't want to disobey her elders, so she bowed to the old lady and Sheng Hong, and ran out of the house as if escaping. Minglan
stood outside the door and wanted to stop Molan, but Molan didn't even look at her.
Minglan went in to pay her respects to the old lady and Sheng Hong.
"Ming'er, your fourth sister may be unhappy, you go and comfort her later!" Sheng Hong said to Minglan.
Minglan wanted to ask why Molan was not allowed to return to Youyang, but when she heard the old lady sigh and whispered "What a sin", Minglan stopped asking and only replied to Sheng Hong, "Okay!"
Minglan arrived at Molan's Lanxin Yazhu, but Molan's door was closed, and even Yunzai was locked out.
"Sixth Miss, you are here, please persuade our girl. She locked herself in and cried all the time after returning. No matter how I persuaded her, it was useless. I asked the girl to open the door, but she ignored me." Yunzai was anxious outside the door, and seeing Minglan coming over was like seeing a savior.
Minglan went forward and knocked on the door, "Fourth sister, can you open the door? Tell me what difficulties you have and we can solve them together. Don't keep crying, be careful not to hurt your eyes."
Molan loves reading. Sometimes she is so obsessed with a book that she turns on the light at night to read. After a long time, her vision becomes a little blurry. Minglan is worried that her crying will aggravate the blurriness of her eyes.
In the room, Molan heard Minglan's voice, but Huang Fuxiang's words were like a thorn in her heart. Combined with Sheng Hong and the old lady's reactions, it was hard for Molan not to suspect that there was something wrong with Lin Qinshuang's death. And who benefited the most from Lin Qinshuang's death? Obviously Wei Xiaoniang and Minglan. Molan was conflicted and painful. She didn't want to care about anything now, she just wanted to cry her heart out.
The crying sounds from the house continued. Minglan was worried outside, but Molan refused to listen to her advice today. Minglan was helpless.
"Miss, someone from the palace has sent a message that the Queen Mother has summoned you to the palace."
Minglan wanted to persuade Molan again, but Xiaotao came to Minglan and said that the Queen Mother had summoned her. Minglan had no choice but to ask Yunzai to find Rulan to accompany Molan. Before Minglan left, she looked at Molan's door worriedly.
There was no sound outside the door. Molan gradually stopped sobbing and wiped the remaining tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief. Molan opened the door and walked out. She didn't want to face everything about the Sheng family now. She was upset and full of the urge to escape. She wanted to go out for a walk and sort out this matter.
Molan left Sheng's house and wandered aimlessly in the bustling streets. She felt mixed emotions, as if the hustle and bustle around her was isolated from her. Suddenly, a carriage blocked Molan's way, interrupting her thoughts. The curtain was opened, revealing a familiar smiling face.
"The fourth lady looks unhappy. Why don't you get in the car and tell me about your troubles? Maybe the fourth lady will suddenly feel enlightened."
Molan looked at Huang Fuxiang's smiling face hidden in the carriage, her face was unclear, and she couldn't help but feel goosebumps. However, thinking of Huang Fuxiang's words, Molan still got on the carriage.
"Did the fourth lady cry? Then the fourth lady must have noticed that your mother's death was unusual!" Huang Fuxiang stared at Molan's red eyes and spoke.
Molan looked directly at Huang Fuxiang and said in a cold voice, "Miss Huang, there is no need to test me. You might as well speak frankly about what you know. After all, Miss Huang and I don't have much friendship, so there is no need to be polite."
Huang Fuxiang chuckled, "Fourth Miss, you hurt my heart by saying that. I really want to be friends with Fourth Miss. I have never had any grudge against Fourth Miss, so why does Fourth Miss have a prejudice against me?"
She paused, as if she remembered something, and continued, "Oh, maybe Fourth Miss's grudge is because of my cousin. Regarding the lawsuit at the poetry meeting, I know very well that my cousin's behavior was biased and caused considerable trouble to Fourth Miss. But Fourth Miss went to court to file a complaint, and now, my cousin has received the punishment she deserves for this matter and has been confined to her house for a long time. This is not good for her hobby. For a lively person, it would be more painful than taking her life. I think such a punishment should be enough to dispel some of the resentment in the heart of the fourth lady, right?"
Mo Lan looked stern and unmoved. She spoke slowly, her voice cold and firm: "The punishment that Miss Han received was due to her misconduct and she brought it upon herself. It has nothing to do with me. As for the fact that she had framed me and brought me trouble, I have not let go of the hurt, so I can't forgive it. For me, it is not easy to forgive someone who has hurt me, and I don't intend to force myself. As for the idea of letting go, it is even more ridiculous. I don't have a close relationship with Miss Han, so her behavior naturally can't arouse the waves in my heart. "
