Chapter 51 Figure it out
Wang Ruofu waited in the room but didn't see Sheng Hong at all. She only heard a light voice saying "Let's talk about it at the dinner party", which made her very angry.

He paced back and forth with a handkerchief in his hand, wishing he could rush to Linqi Pavilion immediately and pull Sheng Hong out.

At this time, Mother Liu came up and whispered:

"Madam, don't be angry. I just asked the maid and learned that she didn't see the master, but that Xue Niang from Linqi Pavilion told her. Madam, you also know the attitude of Linqi Pavilion. I think they must have interfered and said something unpleasant, which is why the master was left there."

Only then did Wang Ruofu nod.

But he was still angry in his heart, and secretly hated those little bitches in Linqi Pavilion. If he ever got the chance in the future, he would sell them all out!

Before dinner.

Sheng Hong finally arrived and slowly walked into Weiruixuan.

"What? You still remember to come? Aren't you going to continue looking for Lin Qinshuang from Linqi Pavilion?" Wang Ruofu said lightly when Sheng Hong came in.

Sheng Hong had already prepared himself mentally, so he pretended not to hear and asked directly: "I have something to do this afternoon and I don't have time to come. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Something? You're leaving office so early, what could be the matter? Are you busy flirting with Lin Qinshuang?"

Wang Ruofu didn't tolerate Sheng Hong at all and said sarcastically.

Since she was angry, Wang Ruofu naturally had to vent her anger to Sheng Hong, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable.

Especially when it came to things related to Lin Qinshuang, she was unwilling to let it go.

If Sheng Hong was at Wei Shuyi's place, Wang Ruofu would not be angry even if he didn't come. She would be secretly happy that Wei Shuyi could come out to compete for favor and cause trouble for Lin Qinshuang.

Thinking of this, Wang Ruofu couldn't help feeling depressed again.

The last time Wei Shuyi was pregnant and gave birth, she almost died of dystocia. I'm afraid she had already started thinking about vying for favor, but who knew that her body was injured. She was willing but unable, and could only wait until next spring to recover a little.

Although Sheng Hong was used to Wang Ruofu's sarcasm, he was still a little annoyed. After all, which master would always be like him, being bullied by the lady?

"If you want to say it, say it. If not, I'll leave."

Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave.

"Go? Where are you going?"

Wang Ruofu said calmly, "We will have dinner at Shou'an Hall tonight. If you insist on going to Linqi Pavilion, I won't stop you."

Sheng Hong stopped right where he was.

"There's such a thing? I was at home and my mother didn't tell me."

"Mother has never liked Linqi Pavilion, so how could she send someone to Linqi Pavilion to deliver a message?"

Wang Ruofu fiddled with her earrings in front of the dressing mirror and pointed at the door without turning her head. "Go ahead. You want to go to Linqi Pavilion, right? I won't make it difficult for you. I'll go to Shou'an Hall by myself."

"Hey, ma'am, where is this from?"

Sheng Hong turned around, smiling again, and stepped forward to hold Wang Ruofu's shoulders. The two looked at each other in the mirror, "You know me. I have always been the most filial to my mother. Since my mother has already ordered me to go, how can I not go?"

"Madam, please don't say anything angry."

Wang Ruofu didn't reply, but glanced at Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong knew Wang Ruofu's temper, and he knew she could be coaxed into submission by just saying some nice words.

Seeing this look, he immediately seemed to have received some instructions and said several flattering words to Wang Ruofu, which made Wang Ruofu's temper disappear for the most part.

No wonder Sheng Hong was not worried about angering Wang Ruofu and causing unrest in the family.

Just say a few nice words and Wang Ruofu can be easily persuaded to come back.

"Tell me, Madam, what do you want to talk to me about this afternoon?" Sheng Hong put his hands on Wang Ruofu's shoulders and said with a smile. "Hua'er's matter has been roughly settled."

"really?"

Sheng Hong looked surprised. "Did you decide on this at the polo match today?"

Sheng Hong was originally planning to ask Wang Ruofu why Molan was in a bad mood when she came back, but when he heard that Hualan's matter was about to be done, he immediately threw his original idea to the winds.

"Ah."

Wang Ruofu nodded, turned to look at Sheng Hong and said, "Today, I, Madam Chen from Commander Yang's family, and Madam Wu from the Earl of Yongchang's mansion are discussing in the same tent. The matchmaker has already chosen Madam Wu. We just need to wait for Commander Yang to send someone to his hometown in the spring, and then we can discuss the marriage."

"It's good as long as it's confirmed. It's good as long as it's confirmed."

Sheng Hong was extremely excited when he heard this, and could not help pacing back and forth in the room. "Although we can't ask a matchmaker to discuss the marriage right away, it's good to set a date so that we don't have to worry all the time. After all, this marriage is really high-class for my family, so it's better to set it as soon as possible."

"I sent someone to find you this afternoon, just to inform you of this happy event, but what about you..."

Seeing that Wang Ruofu seemed to be about to have another outburst, Sheng Hong quickly said, "It's my fault. I should have come right away, but Molan was very sad at the time, and as a father, I could only comfort her."

"Molan is sad? What is Molan sad about?"

Wang Ruofu looked puzzled.

Seeing that Wang Ruofu's expression did not seem fake, Sheng Hong also felt strange.

If Wang Ruofu, the biggest suspect, didn't know anything, then why was Molan so abnormal?
Sheng Hong never thought that it might be that the little girl was just throwing a tantrum because things didn’t go her way and wanted to seek comfort from her mother, but was caught by him.

But this is indeed difficult to explain.

Sheng Hong really couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

It seems that it’s about time.

It was a good opportunity for me to go to Shou'an Hall and sit for a while, and by the way, tell Old Madam Sheng the good news.

Shou'an Hall.

After the couple told Mrs. Sheng about this, they found that Mrs. Sheng's face was calm and she didn't show any surprise at all.

Sheng Hong did not doubt Mrs. Sheng's love for Hua Lan. Instead, he secretly said in his heart: Mother is worthy of being the only daughter of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion. She is a person who has seen the world and is very shrewd!

Then he reflected secretly in his heart: It seems that I still have a lot to learn, and I have to carefully excavate the old lady's treasure.

"Hua'er has already told me this before."

Seeing the surprise of Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu, Old Madam Sheng said calmly.

"Said...said?" Wang Ruofu's eyes were full of disbelief.

Or before?

So what I got today is the latest news?
Wang Ruofu and Sheng Hong looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Since Huaer knew about this, why didn’t he tell his wife and himself first?
"This was a private discussion between the two families. The young marquis secretly told Hua'er, and Hua'er secretly told me."

Old Madam Sheng said softly, "You two should naturally ask Madam Chen to ask and discuss it with each other. Otherwise, it will be like their family giving us an ultimatum, which would be disgraceful."

Only then did Wang Ruofu nod.

But he still blamed Hualan in his heart.

This girl, why didn't she secretly inform me in advance?

Don’t you believe in your acting skills when facing Madam Chen?
