The Legend of Concubine's Daughter Minglan

Chapter 142

Thanks to Sheng Hong, Minglan was lucky to witness the act of the angelic bitch for over ten years. Concubine Lin was able to irritate Wang shi very easily with all kinds of excuses. Minglan was certain that there had been a few times Concubine Lin wanted to receive the punishments such as standing or kneeling for a long time. Getting a few bruises would fit in with Concubine Lin's wish even more. After that, when Sheng Hong came back, he would definitely have a serious quarrel with Wang shi.

Mama Fang said secretly that Concubine Lin's treatment was far worse than before. At that time(before Yao Yiyi transmigrated to the ancient times), Concubine Lin didn't need to do anything except for shedding tears in the presence of others(to imply how much grievance she had suffered) or staying sentimental(expressing how sad her life had been) or even putting on a sad look on her face. Then Sheng Hong would definitely get emotional and went to defend her against the injustice by reproaching Wang shi or presenting lots of gifts or money to Concubine Lin.

Minglan concluded: All the angelic bitches needed one or a few men who were willing to protect them firmly. Those men were always easily moved by the concessions those angelic bitches had made or the considerate words they had said and then continued to fight the forces of evil.

Actually, Minglan felt that Concubine Lin was not capable enough since the latter had only managed to instigate Sheng Hong to fight for her. The concubine in the top level was even able to draw the children of the madam to her side and let those kids speak out against injustice for the woman who had jeopardized their family. That really was impressive.

In a word, the fighting style of the angelic bitches required them to hide behind others the whole time and ask for help from the 'righteous persons'. Once they went to the battlefield by themselves and made threatening gestures, they would be called not angelic bitches but cannibals.

Therefore, Minglan felt excited somehow right now. She knew that she would run into lots of trouble in the next few days, but she was still expecting those things to happen in high spirits. She was really curious about what Old Madam Qin who was known as a wise and generous woman would do when there was no one she could use as her pawns.

A few days after the funeral, Gu Tingye, with the paper which recorded how the family property would be divided in his hand, said straightly in front of everyone in the room, "I want to know when Fourth and Fifth Uncle will move? If you need help, just tell me. I'll definitely lend my hand."

Fifth Old Master who had had a hard time lately got furious at once when hearing that, "Boy, are you trying to drive us away now?"

Gu Tingye did not even bother to utter a word. He shook his sleeves in anger and took the hand of Minglan who was pretending to be a tame girl. Then, they both left.

As the saying goes, "Great waves are able to sweep away sand". Only at a critical moment like this would everyone expose their true colors.

After Gu Tingye had acted arrogantly, Fifth Old Master who still had the conceit of a scholar showed his backbone right away by insisting on moving away in a loud voice. He even said decisively, "Even if you want me to be here, I won't stay anymore." Hearing that, Fifth Old Madam felt quite anxious. After failing to persuade her husband, she could only stall the time with the excuse: the mansion which was distributed to us has been empty for too long, it should be at least furnished or repaired for a while.

Gu Tingyang who had been threatened in the Imperial Prison had been hiding in his room drinking and having fun with his beautiful concubines and maids all day long. He never came out. Madam Yang didn't say anything as always. Since the members of the Fifth family couldn't reach an agreement, Gu Tingdi and his wife could only prepare for moving at a very slow speed.
