Chapter 113 Face to Face Confrontation
At the same time, Grandma Kong had already come outside the house.
Take in everything inside.
She has been in the palace for decades.
During this period of time, it has become clear that although the Sheng family seems calm on the surface, there are actually undercurrents.
The mistress of the house is very simple-minded.
The charming concubine was extremely favored, and her children became domineering and unruly, causing constant disputes between the legitimate daughter Rulan and the illegitimate daughter Molan.
She had clearly seen Rulan's gesture just now, but she deliberately ignored it and left on the pretext of taking medicine, leaving enough space for Molan and Rulan.
At the same time, let them both relax their vigilance and escalate their daily conflicts to the maximum extent.
Obviously, all the long-storing anger broke out at this moment, and now was Grandma Kong's turn to perform.
Seeing the situation in the room, Madam Kong just watched calmly, allowing the girls to argue.
It is better to remove the firewood from under the pot than to try to stop the boiling water.
At this time, several girls also noticed Aunt Kong standing nearby, and they involuntarily became quiet and stood still, not daring to move.
After being caught arguing and quarreling, Rulan and Molan glared at each other and waited for punishment from Grandma Kong.
Madam Kong glanced at the four girls present without giving anyone a chance to explain. She said coldly:
"I've only been out for a while and you're already quarreling like this. What's wrong? Everyone should copy the homework for these days fifty times. If you can't finish it, you don't have to come here anymore."
Although Madam Kong's School is not a private school, it does assign some lessons on the four arts every day.
It’s not much every day, but when accumulated over time, it’s a huge project.
Seeing that Madam Kong was obviously angry, everyone on the scene did not dare to refute or express dissatisfaction in the slightest, and immediately began to copy the homework in an orderly manner.
When the sun set, Madam Kong showed no intention of letting the four girls go back for dinner.
At this time, the housekeeper of Shou'an Hall suddenly came and said that she wanted to call Hualan to discuss marriage.
Nanny Kong suddenly understood something and nodded slightly, letting Hualan leave first.
Seeing their eldest sister stand up, the three younger ones present all smiled with relief, thinking that the matter was over. However, Grandma Kong lowered her head, still calmly drinking tea and reading, with no intention of letting it go.
Seeing this, Molan secretly complained in her heart: It's because she is going to be the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, so I dare not punish her. Why is this old woman putting on airs on purpose?
Hua Lan walked lightly, glanced at the bored Ming Lan before leaving, hesitated slightly, and asked Madam Kong:
"Mammy, Minglan has done nothing wrong. Why don't you let her go?"
Seeing this, Minglan's dejected expression disappeared and she looked at Madam Kong excitedly. However, after a little thought, Madam Kong shook her head firmly.
"Sixth Miss, you must stay here. If it weren't for your upcoming wedding, I wouldn't let you go today. Go on your own."
Hualan could only nod helplessly, gave Minglan a look that told her to wish her the best, and left the room.
Some time passed.
Wei Rui Xuan and Lin Qi Pavilion both sent maids to ask, and then Madam Kong ordered:
"Go and invite your master, mistress, and the ladies of the girls over here."
As soon as these words were spoken, Rulan and Molan were immediately frightened.
I thought I just had to copy the assignments and get a few words of admonition at the end and that would be it.
But we still need to invite my father now?
Is Grandma Kong trying to make a big deal out of this?
The two looked anxious, but due to the authority of Madam Kong, they dared not show any objection at all and could only worry secretly in their hearts.
Soon.
Sheng Hong, Wang Ruofu, Lin Qinshuang and Wei Shuyi were called over together.
Four people came into the house with different expressions.
Sheng Hong, who was at the top, had a furious look on his face.
After all, being called a parent by the teacher is never a happy thing in any era, so I was quite angry.
What's more, this class was set up in my own home, which made me even more embarrassed.
At this moment, I really want to teach these unfilial daughters a lesson immediately.
Wang Ruofu, Lin Qinshuang and Wei Shuyi were all worried.
They were still unsure of what their daughter had done wrong, which led to Madam Kong calling everyone in the family over. They just hoped it wasn't a serious mistake.
I saw my parents coming.
Among the girls, Molan was the first to stand up.
She immediately put on a pitiful and weak look, hoping that Sheng Hong would feel pity for her and give her a lighter punishment.
And Rulan lowered her head.
She understood that her father Sheng Hong favored Molan more.
Therefore, she knew that she could not compete with Molan just by acting pitiful, and her father had never let her down in this regard.
So at this moment he could only sit there pitifully, looking at his mother.
Minglan was also looking at her mother Wei Shuyi.
But there was a hint of timidity in his eyes, and he quickly looked away after only a quick glance.
She knew that her mother attached the most importance to Nanny Kong's lessons, and she repeatedly reminded her to abide by the rules and not miss the opportunity.
As a result, I was inexplicably involved in the quarrel between my fourth and fifth sisters.
Although he felt innocent, he did not dare to look his mother in the eye.
Nanny Kong first explained the reason to Sheng Hong and the other three.
Then he said:
"If we confront each other face to face, no one can deny it."
As he said this, he made way and motioned Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu to take their seats.
Sheng Hong was immediately surprised.
Why do I have to sit down?
Aren’t you here just to listen to a lecture and then be taken away?
But seeing that Madam Kong's face was firm and she still bent slightly to indicate that she should sit at the top, Sheng Hong did not want to show his weakness and lose his status as the head of the family.
He coughed lightly, shook his sleeves, and walked forward with gritted teeth.
After Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu sat down.
Nanny Kong explained the reason why they were called here.
"Although it's a trivial matter in the boudoir, the girls are all grown up now, and some right and wrong need to be debated."
Madam Kong then looked at Sheng Hong:
“It is important to remember that a thousand-mile embankment can be destroyed by an ant hole. If small mistakes are not punished, they will eventually lead to great disasters.”
She said this to characterize today's events and explain their importance.
There was no room for Sheng Hong to just brush it off and get away with it.
Sheng Hong is used to observing people's words and expressions.
Seeing that Madam Kong was serious, she quickly smiled and nodded in agreement.
He immediately turned around and told his daughters to kneel down.
It can be said that he has made enough gestures.
As soon as Sheng Hong finished speaking, Madam Kong had someone put mats on the girls.
There is a cushion to protect your knees.
This principle can be explained slowly.
Madam Kong's words and actions all expressed her own thoughts. Today's matter must not be raised high and then let go lightly.
Sheng Hong also understood what Nanny Kong meant.
He first said a few profound truths.
Then he would use family rules, shouting for people to hit the child's hands, trying his best to act like a strict father.
"Although spanking them can make them realize that what they did today was wrong, it is not very effective. The most important thing is to let them know where they are wrong."
