Sheng Molan felt that even if she took all these things, it wouldn't be half of what Sheng Hualan had, so it was better to leave them for Lin Qinshuang to keep. She also instructed Lin Qinshuang to endure it, and she would take her to Liang Manor once she had a firm footing there. A few days later, Sheng Molan, dressed in her wedding gown, went to the hall to bid farewell to her parents.
Lin Qinshuang, being a concubine, could only sit by the side. Sheng Molan choked back tears as she glanced at Lin Qinshuang before leaving. Lin Qinshuang quickly tried to go out to see her off but was stopped by Liu Mama, who said that seeing the young lady off was the main madam's responsibility. Lin Qinshuang then tearfully chased after her again, but Wang Ruofu quickly had people hold her back.
Sheng Molan was still hoping Sheng Hong would say something to her, but Sheng Hong's heart had already grown cold. This was the path she had chosen herself, so even if she suffered grievances in the future, she shouldn't come back crying. Although the Sheng family was adorned with festive characters, there was no joyful atmosphere. Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu still had to entertain guests. Lin Qinshuang was confined in her room, smashing things in anger.
Then she thought that she was still Sheng Molan's mother and calmed down. Unexpectedly, Sheng Hong sent people to seize her and bring her to the ancestral hall. Lin Qinshuang, however, kept shouting about being the Countess Manor's mother-in-law. Lin Qinshuang was held down and beaten with several heavy planks. No matter how she cried and begged, Sheng Hong paid no heed, but seeing her faint, he still shed a few tears and told them to stop hitting her.
Sheng Hong hated her, yet he couldn't bear it; he hated even more why she didn't continue deceiving him. He could only stand beside Lin Qinshuang, shedding tears of regret alone. Sheng Minglan had been listening outside and only walked away after the beating was over. Sheng Hong ordered Lin Qinshuang to be sent to a manor outside the city, never to leave.
He had originally wanted to sell all the people around Lin Qinshuang, but fearing rumors, he first had the two who served Sheng Molan beaten to death, and the rest were sent to do hard labor. Sheng Minglan knelt before the painting left by her mother, considering it revenge for her mother. That night, Lin Qinshuang was to be escorted to the manor.
Xiao Tao claimed that Old Madam Sheng had told Sheng Minglan to follow behind and watch her enter the manor. Fang Mama heard someone say that Sheng Minglan claimed Old Madam Sheng wanted her to go to the manor, so she quickly returned to tell Old Madam Sheng. The Old Madam became suspicious, as she had never told Sheng Minglan to go. At this moment, Lin Qinshuang had already been escorted to the manor and was crying and wailing.
Upon seeing Sheng Minglan, she immediately called her a wretched little brat. Sheng Minglan was not angry; she merely sat beside her, staring intently. Lin Qinshuang, like a desperate dog, barked at Sheng Minglan, but Sheng Minglan stated that she had never thought of marrying into Liang Manor. Lin Qinshuang instantly understood Sheng Minglan's scheme; it was all her doing intentionally! But why would Sheng Minglan do this? Sheng Minglan remained silent. Lin Qinshuang panicked, "She knows?"
Sheng Minglan took out a painting, the one Sheng Molan had sent when Sheng Minglan was managing the household, depicting deep maternal love. She hung that painting beside her mother's painting, constantly reminding herself not to forget the revenge for her mother's death. Lin Qinshuang cursed loudly, yet still shouted that she wasn't afraid. Lin Qinshuang, dragging her bruised body, questioned Sheng Minglan about her conspiracy, but Sheng Minglan ignored her, got up, and left.
Upon returning to the Sheng household, Sheng Minglan hurried to Old Madam Sheng's place to pay respects, though it was actually to beg for forgiveness. Old Madam Sheng was angry with her, angry that Sheng Minglan had hidden things from her and even used her. Sheng Minglan quickly knelt, explaining that it was not yet time to tell. Old Madam Sheng, anxious, had her confined. For the past few days, Sheng Minglan had not stepped out of her courtyard once.
Dan Ju asked Xiao Tao but couldn't find out anything. Old Madam Sheng could only sigh, "The young lady has grown up after all." A few days later, Liu Mama hurried to congratulate Wang Ruofu, saying that Lin Qinshuang had died, the cause being complications from the beating.
Liu Mama inquired carefully and found out that the planks were wielded by Dong Rong, Sheng Hong's attendant, who was skilled with his hands; a single round of beating would flay the skin and tear the flesh. Wang Ruofu was suddenly flustered. Although she was happy that Lin Qinshuang had met such an end, she was still frightened by Sheng Hong's ruthlessness and resolve.
Old Madam Sheng's heart tightened upon learning of Lin Qinshuang's death, thinking that it was a case of the wicked receiving their due. Fang Mama's remark about a homicide case made Old Madam Sheng suddenly realize. Sheng Minglan happened to come to pay respects to Old Madam Sheng and presented the physician's confession from that time.
