Aunt Wei and Xiao Die also brought the physician, Physician Zhang, who treated Madam Wei back then. Physician Zhang said he couldn't remember what happened back then. Sheng Minglan mentioned the situation on that day, and Physician Zhang then recalled it. He first treated Lin Qinshuang, then treated Madam Wei, who was six months pregnant. Afterwards, he reported back to Lin Qinshuang that the pregnant woman's fetus was a bit large, and she needed to walk more and eat light.
Sheng Minglan was stunned instantly. At that time, Lin Qinshuang sent her delicacies every day, and the maids she sent also stopped Madam Wei from walking, which completely went against the doctor's orders! Seeing Sheng Minglan going out again, Lin Qinshuang felt suspicious. Madam Zhou said her husband had been waiting in Yangzhou for several days, but hadn't seen any trace of Physician Zhang. Madam Xiao Qin hosted a banquet to express gratitude, inviting many high-ranking officials and nobles.
Qi State Duke's residence and the Sheng family were among the invited. Lin Qinshuang brought up this matter and again scolded Qi Heng for being blind, still waiting for Sheng Molan to show off her skills at the appreciation banquet and marry into a wealthy family. Sheng Minglan knelt in the ancestral hall. Sheng Hong saw her and praised her for being sensible. Sheng Minglan deliberately mentioned Madam Wei, implying that someone had harmed her.
However, Sheng Hong no longer took it to heart and told her not to overthink it. Sheng Minglan brought it up again, saying that Madam Wei seemed to have been wronged. Although Sheng Hong did not blame her, he told her not to mention it again in the future. Helpless, Sheng Minglan wanted to hold a ritual to pray for Madam Wei, hoping that Sheng Hong would shed a few drops of blood to suppress those evil spirits.
Sheng Hong did not believe in ghosts and gods, so he naturally refused. He even scolded her thoroughly this time and finally left directly. Although these were made up by Sheng Minglan, seeing Sheng Hong unwilling to shed blood for his wife, her heart still grew a bit cold. Gu family hosted a banquet. Wang Ruofu brought her three daughters to attend, and people from Qi State Duke's residence also arrived.
When Gu Yankai was being buried, various families held roadside rituals, which led to this appreciation banquet. Liang Han naturally also came. Sheng Molan saw him and got up to meet him. Yu Yanhong sat beside Sheng Minglan, complaining that the Princess Consort was obsequious in front of Princess Yong and also said that she had set her sights on Princess Jiachang as her daughter-in-law, provoking Sheng Minglan everywhere.
No matter how Yu Yanhong provoked, Sheng Minglan just smiled faintly with downcast eyes, not paying her any attention at all. The Sheng family was seated at the last table. At the front tables, Madam Xiao Qin, the Princess Consort, and others began to discuss. Princess Yong held a grudge against Sheng Minglan and Qi Heng playing polo together, so she spoke sarcastically. Sheng Minglan pretended to have poor hearing and left.
Madam Wu cursed under her breath, calling her ignorant, and followed her out, inviting her to play polo in a few days. Bu Wei was pacing anxiously on the side and had to find a maid to distract Madam Wu, then arranged for Sheng Minglan to meet Qi Heng. Qi Heng had indeed lost a lot of weight. He held a mille-feuille pastry for Sheng Minglan in his hand and pulled her to sit aside.
He knew Sheng Minglan didn't like gold, silver, or jewelry; she just loved to eat, so naturally, he wanted her to try anything delicious. Qi Heng was so emaciated now; Sheng Minglan saying she didn't feel heartbroken would be a lie. Qi Heng, however, said that even if there were many rumors outside, the primary wife he wanted to marry was only Sheng Minglan. Sheng Minglan smiled.
Even if he wouldn't marry her, she would always remember Qi Heng's appearance today. Qi Heng finally felt some comfort in his heart, even thinking of risking his life to gain the Princess Consort's consent. Sheng Minglan quickly stopped him, saying she didn't want Qi Heng to go to a dead end. Qi Heng added that in a few days at the Imperial Spring Banquet, he would publicly request His Majesty to bestow Sheng Minglan upon him in marriage.
No matter how overbearing the Princess Consort was, she wouldn't dare defy a royal decree, and His Majesty favored helping people achieve their desires, so this time it would surely work. After Qi Heng left, Sheng Minglan sat by the pavilion eating pastries. Xiao Tao felt very sorry for Sheng Minglan, but the latter had already made up her mind: if he moved forward, she would move forward; if he gave up, she would give up too.
Gu Tingye suddenly appeared. He had returned this time to retrieve his spear, but unexpectedly ended up listening to a performance of "The Palace of Eternal Youth." Sheng Minglan saw him comparing her and Qi Heng to Emperor Ming and Concubine Yang, naturally she didn't believe him, and the two had a quarrel. The pageboys came to apprehend Gu Tingye, so Sheng Minglan withdrew first. The pageboys stopped Gu Tingye, refusing to let him leave.
Gu Tingyu, even dragging his sickly body, came to scold him, refusing to let him take the spear. After a quarrel, Gu Tingye left the spear, but he said that one day he would return, and then Gu Tingyu would have to open the main gate, sweep the courtyard, and present the spear with both hands! The Princess Consort called Bu Wei and asked him if he had acted as a matchmaker for Qi Heng and Sheng Minglan.
Bu Wei repeatedly denied it, but the Princess Consort had him dragged out and beaten to death. Qi Heng rushed over immediately. His kowtowing and admitting guilt were useless; in the end, he couldn't save Bu Wei's life.
