Sheng Changfeng, hearing that Lin Qinshuang had an incident, went to see Xu Yuanwai first. However, Wang Ruofu's people blocked him, and he had no other choice. The human trafficker had seen Lin Qinshuang and, fearing that Sheng Hong's return without seeing her would implicate him, refused to do the business. Wang Ruofu was not foolish either; she used her connections to pressure him, and only then did the human trafficker back down.
Unable to see Xu Yuanwai, Sheng Changfeng simply forced his way in, pulling him out of the courtyard. Lin Qinshuang, while the human trafficker was inspecting her, bit him hard. Afterwards, she demanded that Wang Ruofu bring Xu Yuanwai over for a confrontation, and even uttered threats. Sheng Changfeng happened to arrive, pulling Xu Yuanwai with him.
For his own safety, that man naturally wanted to state his innocence, but Wang Ruofu, hearing that she said it was just a business discussion without a signed agreement, refused to acknowledge it and was determined to put Lin Qinshuang to death. However, Lin Qinshuang was a ruthless person; she immediately told Sheng Changfeng to go to the yamen and beat the drum for grievances, leaving Wang Ruofu in a dilemma.
Old Madam Sheng learned that a young servant had already gone to beat the drum for grievances, and was extremely worried about their reputation being ruined. However, having just feigned illness, she had no choice but to send someone to Sheng Changbo and Gu Tingye, who were talking in the study, to intercept the servant and bring him back. The hall was in chaos. Sheng Minglan came to convey Old Madam Sheng's decision.
Wang Ruofu thought the Old Madam was there to help her, but unexpectedly, Old Madam Sheng ordered both Wang Ruofu and Lin Qinshuang to be confined to their residences, which instantly dumbfounded her. Lin Qinshuang argued that she and Xu Yuanwai were discussing business. Sheng Minglan asked her why she changed her attire, and Lin Qinshuang was instantly speechless.
After Sheng Minglan left, Wang Ruofu, following Old Madam Sheng's original words, was to punish Lin Qinshuang with twenty strokes of the large rod, but she handed the rod over to Sheng Changfeng. Sheng Changfeng, having privately brought an outside man into the inner courtyard and usually being careless in his conduct, feared these scandals being exposed to Sheng Hong, and could only ruthlessly proceed with the beating. In the night, Wang Ruofu conversed with Sheng Hualan.
Although Wang Ruofu had vented her anger, by letting Sheng Changfeng beat Lin Qinshuang, she had given Lin Qinshuang a handle, and Lin Qinshuang would surely cause trouble in the future. Sheng Hualan had specifically rushed back to her maiden home because of Sheng Hong's matter. Her father-in-law said nothing, but that wicked mother-in-law always favored Yuan Wenshao, surely causing Sheng Hualan some grievances.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ruofu burst into tears, blaming her own bad fate and feeling pity for her daughter. Sheng Hong was escorted out of the palace gate by an imperial eunuch. The Sheng family members had long been waiting outside, and he almost fainted upon stepping out. Sheng Hong went to pay his respects to Old Madam Sheng. Wang Ruofu rushed over in a panic, crying and shouting, continuously wailing and lamenting.
Sheng Minglan watched Sheng Hong and the others leave, not understanding why he had stayed overnight in the palace. But Old Madam Sheng knew very well that it was definitely not good news; most likely, he had been reprimanded. While Sheng Hong was talking with Wang Ruofu and Sheng Hualan, the Yuan family sent someone to pick up Sheng Hualan.
Sheng Hualan got up to leave, but Wang Ruofu could not swallow her anger and refused to let her daughter go back to suffer. In the end, however, she could only send Sheng Hualan off, waiting for Old Madam Sheng to vent her anger for Sheng Hualan. No sooner had Sheng Hualan left than Lin Qinshuang arrived with her children. Wang Ruofu naturally tried to drive them away, but Lin Qinshuang, repeatedly calling him 'Honglang', forcefully barged in.
Sheng Hong ignored the others and called Sheng Changfeng. The latter thought Sheng Hong had been promoted and repeatedly knelt to offer congratulations. Sheng Hong was so angry that he started beating Sheng Changfeng. It turned out that Sheng Changfeng had been discussing the matter of establishing an heir with his undesirable friends all day, and this had reached the Emperor's ears, causing Sheng Hong to suffer such grievances.
Lin Qinshuang and her two children retreated to the side, fearing Sheng Hong's wrath would be transferred to them. The Emperor kept Sheng Hong waiting for a day and a night before seeing him. Only then did Sheng Hong learn the reason for his confinement.
Sweating coldly, he answered His Majesty's questions and suddenly remembered the remarks Sheng Changbo had mentioned that Sheng Minglan had made, so he spoke them out, which then somewhat appeased His Majesty's anger, and he was released. After saying this, Sheng Hong beat and kicked Sheng Changfeng, and then had him dragged out to continue the beating; no one's plea was useful.
Wang Ruofu watched from the side with great satisfaction, and then mocked Lin Qinshuang, seizing the opportunity to produce evidence and accuse her of secretly meeting with someone outside. Lin Qinshuang's eyes darted about, and crying, she then accused Wang Ruofu of using money to subsidize her maiden family. Sheng Hong was so enraged that he bristled with anger, and after Wang Ruofu tremblingly admitted it, Sheng Hong almost fainted.
