Sheng Minglan did not want to bring up the marriage proposal again, but Gu Tingye earnestly advised her a few words, telling her to look forward in all things. Gu Tingye left, and Sheng Minglan felt somewhat relieved. People come into this world to live a good life. Wang Ruofu welcomed Old Madam He. Old Madam Sheng was overjoyed.
Speaking of Sheng Minglan, Old Madam Sheng said she was ill, just a slight headache and fever, and that He Hongwen could simply go and see her. Xiaotao replied to He Hongwen according to Sheng Minglan's instructions, but unexpectedly, He Hongwen had brought fish from Youyang, specifically stewed for her.
He Hongwen claimed that he saw Sheng Minglan liked fish soup when she was in Youyang, which was why he brought fresh fish from Youyang and stewed it to warm her stomach. He knew that Sheng Minglan was troubled by worries, and after another round of persuasion, Sheng Minglan couldn't help but smile. Xiaotao and Danju watched from behind, feeling very relieved. Sheng Minglan went to Aunt Wei's place to seek peace and quiet.
She first poured tea on the ground to honor her late mother, then offered two cups for Aunt Wei to drink completely, and the third cup she drank herself completely. Aunt Wei, however, was anxious about Miss Wei's matter, but Sheng Minglan had to return home. When she came out, Sheng Minglan encountered Madam Wu. Madam Wu enthusiastically invited her to play polo, but Sheng Minglan had to decline, citing that she was not feeling well.
Madam Wu still refused to give up, so Sheng Minglan had to say that she had calmed down, given up polo, and would only write a few characters indoors. Madam Wu still stopped her, saying that she would send an invitation to the Sheng residence tomorrow. When Wang Ruofu received the invitation, she thought Madam Wu had taken a liking to Sheng Rulan, but the mama beside her said that Madam Wu was closer to Sheng Minglan.
Wang Ruofu disapproved, thinking that Sheng Minglan was merely good at polo, and marriage was another matter entirely. Lin Qinshuang was meticulously dressing up Sheng Molan, but Sheng Molan disliked that the polo field was dusty and did not want to go. Lin Qinshuang was intent on climbing to a higher status, and now that Liang Han showed interest in her, it was a good opportunity.
At the polo match, Sheng Minglan played freely and spiritedly on the field, but accidentally fell from her horse. Madam Wu quickly expressed her concern and gave her fruit. Sheng Molan was naturally displeased, while Sheng Rulan was very happy. Madam Wu asked Sheng Minglan to look at Liang Han playing polo on the field. Sheng Minglan simply laughed it off. Sheng Rulan also took the opportunity to mock Sheng Molan a few times.
Sheng Molan retorted with some sarcastic remarks, and seeing Liang Han dismount, she made an excuse to leave. Liang Han went to the poetry gathering. Sheng Molan claimed she needed to change clothes, but in reality, she also wanted to go to the poetry gathering. Sheng Minglan darted out from behind, wanting to warn Sheng Molan to stop before it was too late, as there was a group of young men ahead.
Sheng Molan insisted on going, so Sheng Minglan, taking advantage of her inattention, rolled up a ball of mud and threw it at her. Sheng Molan was furious, but she could no longer go to the poetry gathering. On the way back to the residence, Madam Wu insisted on calling Liang Han into her carriage, saying that she would hold another flower viewing party in a few days so that Liang Han could meet Sheng Minglan again.
Liang Han, however, disliked that she was a concubine's daughter, like a block of wood, and was reprimanded by Madam Wu. Liang Han then claimed that perhaps the Duke of Qi's residence had already settled on Sheng Minglan as a concubine, but he was again cut off by Madam Wu. Madam Wu only wished for Liang Han to marry a virtuous main wife. Liang Han then wanted to marry Sheng Molan.
Madam Wu loudly rebuked him, saying that Sheng Molan was a seductress, and if he really married her, his future official career would be ruined. She strictly forbade him from exchanging glances with Sheng Molan again. Sheng Minglan's skirt got dirty, so she urgently needed to pick fabric to make new clothes. Lin Qinshuang, however, was thinking of guarding against Sheng Minglan. Sheng Molan disapproved, only seeing her as a clumsy girl.
Madam Zhou quickly came to report, saying that she passed by Wang Ruofu's courtyard and heard pots and basins being smashed inside. It turned out that Madam Wu had come again to extend an invitation, insisting that only Sheng Minglan attend the flower viewing party. Sheng Molan immediately became anxious, asking why she couldn't go! Wang Ruofu was even more infuriated, thinking that Liang Han was a talented man and unwilling to simply give up such a good marriage opportunity.
Sheng Rulan, however, was very calm, saying that marrying into an Earl's residence might not necessarily be good. Wang Ruofu saw that Sheng Rulan had no interest, so she dropped the matter. Last time, when Old Madam Sheng went to Youyang, she registered Sheng Minglan under her name, so this marriage was, after all, her family's concern, and the Lin family would be furious. Seeing that Madam Wu had chosen Sheng Minglan, Sheng Molan was too anxious to eat. Lin Qinshuang then began to teach her how to capture a man's heart, but these were all concubine-like behaviors, not suitable for proper society.
