Comprehensive film and television: Extreme reversal and inevitable death
Chapter 39: Dying Lin Xiaoniang 19
On the winter solstice of the first year of Jiayou, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen led civil and military officials to the Daqing Hall to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.
Just as Zhao Zhen had thought after meeting the god, with the presence of Lin Qinshuang, the auspicious symbol in human form, this year would be a bumper year for the Song Dynasty, with enough food for everyone.
The granaries were stockpiling unprecedented amounts of grain and seeds. Even though some places had suffered from snow disasters a few days ago, the court was able to generously provide surplus grain to help the victims.
Zhao Zhen had never been so well-off before.
After the New Year, after asking Molan about her thoughts, Lin Qinshuang asked Zhao Zhen to issue an order for her to divorce Liang Han.
The dowries brought back from the Liang Mansion seemed quite shabby at this moment. Because of this, the family style of the Sheng family was once again criticized by the people of Bianliang.
The Sheng family is not doing well now.
Sheng Hong was a man who was extremely concerned about his reputation. He could not stand being ignored and excluded by his colleagues, so he resigned from his post voluntarily after just a few days.
He had originally fantasized about reconciling with Lin Qinshuang, but unfortunately, when Old Lady Sheng tried to enter the palace several times by handing in a sign, she was stopped every time.
Lin Qinshuang's attitude now reflects the attitude of the entire palace. Therefore, when Old Lady Sheng found that she couldn't get through to Lin Qinshuang and wanted to find other connections to make things happen, it was too late.
In addition to Molan, another good news is that Lin Qinshuang has also completely gotten rid of the Sheng family.
However, she is stronger than Molan.
Lin Qinshuang didn't want a divorce, she just wrote a letter of divorce and sent someone to give it to Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong was forced to sign and put his fingerprints on it. From now on, he was the first woman in history to abandon her husband. No matter whether it was official history or unofficial history, he would be mentioned in the future. This could be regarded as another way of leaving his name in history, which was really cause for celebration.
Zhao Zhen was originally curious about why Lin Qinshuang, a goddess in mortal form, would marry an ordinary man like Sheng Hong. It was not until Sheng Hong was divorced that Lin Qinshuang stated the reason in the divorce letter.
In this divorce letter, she exaggerated her own importance and attributed Sheng Hong's several promotions to her own good fortune.
It was only because Sheng Hong had done her a favor in her previous life that she came to repay him in this life.
It was Lin Qinshuang who gave birth to his children, took care of the household chores, and brought prosperity to his family. These were all Lin Qinshuang's contributions.
(System: (????) I have to say, Master, you are really becoming more and more shameless.)
But now their grudges have been settled, and from now on, the Sheng family will have nothing to do with the lineage of the goddess Lin!
After receiving the divorce letter, Sheng Hong felt completely drained of energy and spirit, and looked as if he had aged ten years.
He became less and less willing to go out, and became silent and taciturn. Later, he simply moved to Linqi Pavilion, where he spent his days immersed in his past with Lin Qinshuang, imagining that he was still the respected Mr. Sheng.
Wang Ruofu was not defeated by such pressure. She was shallow-minded and not broad-minded. Her mind could only accommodate the small matter in the backyard. Therefore, she was open-minded about the rise of Lin Qinshuang and the decline of the Sheng family.
However, due to the damage to the family tradition of the Sheng family, she was really worried about the marriage of Rulan and Minglan.
Rulan was fine. She was sweet, innocent and easy to understand. Although she was not cut out to be the mistress of the house, it would not be a big problem for her to lower her status and marry the second son of a wealthy family who did not need to inherit the family business.
However, everyone in Bianjing City was avoiding the Sheng family now, so after much deliberation, Wang Ruofu had no choice but to reluctantly marry Rulan back to her hometown.
No matter what, at least he could protect Rulan a little so that she wouldn't be bullied by her husband's family.
Rulan was also confused, but she knew that something had happened to her family, and she became more obedient than before. For the rest of her life, she and her husband lived in harmony with each other, which was considered a good story.
Rulan’s marriage was arranged, and Minglan was the only unmarried girl left in the Sheng family.
Although she was avenging her mother, everyone who mentioned her now would say that she was too cruel and ruthless and did not even care about the reputation and lives of her own sisters. Who could guarantee that she would treat her husband's family sincerely?
Her former close friends wanted to comfort her, but they were also closely watched by the elders in the family.
For a moment, Minglan seemed to have turned back into the child who was loved and cared for by no one in her childhood. Even Old Madam Sheng, because she was concerned about the Sheng family's affairs, slightly ignored her emotions and feelings.
Minglan felt upset, but she didn't dare to say much. After all, she knew that the Sheng family's current state was closely related to her previous actions.
She just became quieter and quieter, and seemed to have less presence. Sometimes, when the family members were distracted, no one would notice her.
Minglan sometimes wondered if she ended up in this situation because she shouldn’t have taken revenge in the first place.
She felt a little regretful, but still believed that she was not wrong. At most, her methods were too harsh, but she did not completely suppress Lin Qinshuang in time.
More than once she wanted to go back to the night when she met Lin Qinshuang with the picture of the loving mother.
"If only I had killed her that day..."
Minglan seemed to have been forgotten from then on, and she stayed quietly in the corner of the Sheng family until she was twenty years old, when Wang Ruofu and Old Lady Sheng found a minor official for her to marry.
The official had lost his wife once, but fortunately he had no children, and no concubines in the backyard. He was a down-to-earth person, but he devoted himself to his work and had no hobbies.
He didn't care about Minglan's age, as long as she could take care of her own backyard.
Minglan also breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that this was the best family she could find now.
After all, Old Lady Sheng still felt sorry for Minglan. Before she got married, Old Lady Sheng took out half of her private property as a dowry for her.
On the day Minglan got married, Old Lady Sheng cried for a long time. She held Minglan's hand and wanted to give her more instructions, but in the end she just said:
"Be good to yourself in the future. He is a good man. Just live a peaceful life with him and don't go back to Bianjing..."
Minglan also shed tears, but no one knew whether she was crying for the future she had missed, or for the second half of her life that she could foresee at a glance.
Fortunately, this husband was reliable, and Minglan lived a worry-free life. Although she did not enjoy the prosperity and splendor, she lived a peaceful and happy life.
However, before she died, she looked at the bright moon by the window, and somehow her thoughts went back to the night when she confronted Lin Qinshuang.
"If only I had killed her that day..."
----
Analyzing Minglan's mental journey, I personally think that she will never feel that she has done anything wrong. After all, revenge for Wei Xiaoniang has almost become her obsession.
But she will definitely regret acting too early and using inadequate means.
In essence, she is similar to Lin Qinshuang, using all the resources around her to achieve her goals. The difference is that Minglan's high-quality education has broadened her horizons and she is not constrained by the struggles in the harem.
In fact, they are all egoists.
