Chapter 484 Experience 5
Lin Qinshuang liked to tell her daughter all about the affairs of the inner house. As for handing over the housekeeping power, she naturally had to tell Molan her considerations in detail: "Your father, although he has doted on me for more than ten years, in fact, he cares most about his face and reputation. Therefore, when A Niang heard that he was going to be promoted to the capital, she decisively handed over the housekeeping power. Firstly, she didn't want to be implicated in Wei Xiaoniang's affairs, and secondly, she didn't want to wait until she went to the capital and have Wei Ruixuan take away the housekeeping power."
"Now that A Niang has voluntarily handed over her housekeeping authority and followed me to the capital, Wang Ruofu has taken it away from her. It seems that A Niang has lost her housekeeping authority, but the meaning behind this is completely the opposite."
Molan nodded to show that she understood: "Mother, I know. Now that you have taken the initiative to hand it over, it is entirely for the sake of father's future and reputation. It shows that you are sincere to father and it also shows that you are smart."
Lin Qinshuang taught Molan all her experience in controlling Sheng Hong, but she forgot that she was only Sheng Hong's concubine and Molan would be his legal wife in the future. At this time, she had not thought about these things. She just felt that it would not be good for Molan to see too much of the filthiness of her biological father Sheng Hong. If she accidentally showed the slightest abnormality one day, it would easily affect Molan's image in Sheng Hong's mind. So after she made sure that Molan understood what she meant, she hurried to make amends for Sheng Hong.
Lin Qinshuang said to Molan carefully and solemnly: "Your father does care too much about his reputation and future, but he still loves you and your brother very much. You can't neglect your father just because of what happened between your mother and him."
Molan nodded again, indicating that she understood: "Don't worry, mother. I know that daddy loves me the most, and I respect daddy too."
As a vested interest, Molan seemed to know naturally that one should not generalize. She could see Sheng Hong's favor for Lin Qige, his harsh treatment of Wei Xiaoniang and Minglan, and his dislike and subtle disgust for his wife Wang Ruofu. She also understood Sheng Hong's inferiority complex, which was difficult to conceal when facing Wang Ruofu.
One can also see the hatred deep in Sheng Hong's heart and the indifference he showed outwardly when facing Old Lady Sheng.
Just as she could see clearly that Old Madam Sheng was willing to deliberately allow her own mother to have an affair with Sheng Hong just to make things difficult for Wang Ruofu, now she could also see clearly that Wei Xiaoniang might have reached a tacit understanding with Old Madam Sheng. Wei Xiaoniang herself did not want to live, and Old Madam Sheng had taken a fancy to Minglan, who was by Wei Xiaoniang's side, and the baby in her belly.
Even though she, a small person, had seen so much, Molan thought it was just normal, as if she was accustomed to bigger scenes. These things that were considered fatal in the eyes of others were just "seen and seen" to her.
Time quickly came to April, and Wei Xiaoniang's belly had become very big. Even Changfeng, a man who studied outside and only came home at night, heard that Wei Xiaoniang's belly was too big and it might be difficult for her to give birth in the future.
Lin Qinshuang didn't think there was anything wrong with telling her son about Wei Xiaoniang's affairs. She even taught Changfeng a lesson, "It's easy for a woman to die when she's pregnant. When you marry your first wife in the future, you can't cause trouble for her when she's pregnant. Otherwise, even if you can marry a second wife, each one will be of lower status than the last, and you'll also be easily tainted with a bad reputation for being a wife-killer."
Chang Feng was not ready to rebel yet. He just couldn't help but grin and said, "Mother, it will take me nearly ten years to get married. You are too impatient to say this now!"
Molan sighed in her heart while eating cherries. The mother and son had gone off topic again.
Originally thought that after the housekeeper's power was handed over, Lin Qige would not be blamed for Wei Xiaoniang's childbirth. Unexpectedly, as Wei Xiaoniang was about to give birth, first Wang Ruofu decided to visit her relatives to see her second uncle and second aunt from her mother's side, and then Mrs. Sheng said she wanted to go out to worship Buddha, and it seemed that she would stay in the temple for a few days. Not to mention Molan, even Lin Qinshuang felt that something was wrong, and she immediately pestered Sheng Hong.
At night, Sheng Hong rested in Linqi Pavilion as usual, and Lin Qinshuang talked about the unfortunate things happening at home: "Honglang, although a woman's pregnancy does not have to be full ten months, but seeing that the sister of the Wei family is already in the ninth month, why are the old lady and the eldest lady going on a long journey together?"
Sheng Hong originally didn't think there was anything wrong with Wang Ruofu going back to her parents' hometown, nor did he think there was anything wrong with the old lady staying in the temple for a few days. But now, after hearing Lin Qinshuang say that Wei Xiaoniang's belly was already at the point where she needed to be ready to give birth at any time, he immediately had a lot of associations. He didn't have any thoughts about his stepmother, after all, he had seen the old lady's methods, but in his mind, Wang Ruofu had always been someone who was stupid, straightforward, but kind.
Now, Sheng Hong no longer dared to think that Wang Ruofu would not kill the concubine in his family. Even if this was not Wang Ruofu's idea, he still felt that Wang Ruofu was not without cruel means. It was probably just because Lin Qinshuang was smart that Wang Ruofu did not have the opportunity to kill her. But the case of Wei Xiaoniang was different. The doctor who had been taking care of Wei Xiaoniang's pregnancy had said that there was a 70% chance that Wei Xiaoniang's baby was a boy.
Sheng Hong looked at Lin Qinshuang who looked worried, and couldn't help but sighed, "Shuang'er is really thoughtful. Even though Wei and Minglan offended you before, you still cared about them."
Lin Qinshuang nestled in Sheng Hong's arms obediently, looking up with a shy and slightly happy face, she said modestly: "I am not as kind as Honglang said. I just cherish the child of Honglang in Wei's sister's belly."
Look at what he said, Sheng Hong was really moved by Lin Qinshuang, so he went to find Wang Ruofu early the next morning and asked Wang Ruofu to change the day to go out because Wei Xiaoniang was about to give birth.
Wang Ruofu had no guilt at all. She yelled at Sheng Hong, "Hasn't this been scheduled a long time ago? Why do you have to change the date at the last minute?"
Sheng Hong carefully stared at Wang Ruofu's expression, and at the same time, he kept his eyes on Liu Kun's family behind her. He found that there was indeed nothing unusual between the master and the servant, so he spoke again firmly: "I've said that Wei was almost about to give birth at that time, and the old lady was going to stay in the temple for a while. How could you, the lady, go out?"
Wang Ruofu felt very aggrieved, but Liu Kunjia quickly pulled the back of her clothes, making her shut up in time. She didn't say what was in her heart, but she could only accept that she couldn't go out.
After Sheng Hong left, Liu Kun's wife advised Wang Ruofu with a look of fear on her face: "Madam, it's better to postpone your departure. The master has said that Madam Wei might give birth at that time. We really can't leave without caring about it."
After everyone else in the room left, Liu Kun lowered his voice and said, "It seems that Lin Qi Pavilion may have discovered something. Maybe there is something wrong with Wei Xiaoniang's pregnancy, and Lin Qi Pavilion is unwilling to take the blame, so they asked the master to keep you here."
Wang Ruofu exploded when she heard this: "That bitch!"
"I bought Wei back to share the favor of that bitch in Linqi Pavilion, but I didn't expect that Wei was useless and now she is even causing trouble for me!"
