The Lin Xiaoniang in Zhifou is a very sinister person. The film and television series arranged a happy ending for her in accordance with what most people expected. Lin Xiaoniang killed Minglan's biological mother Wei Xiaoniang and her unborn child. Minglan was unaware of this cruel fact when she was young. Although Minglan didn't know that she was the direct murderer of her biological mother, as she was growing up, she had been searching for answers to questions and hiding her hatred in her heart. Not to mention that Lin Xiaoniang and Sheng Hong couldn't tell, even her grandmother could not tell. I don't know that she is hiding this thought. Until she grew up.
I found the doctor who delivered my mother’s baby and asked her face to face. I found out that Lin Xiaoniang deliberately supplied a large amount of delicacies and designed to support her, even though she knew that Wei Xiaoniang should not take supplements and should move around more. He opened Xiaodie, the personal maid, and assigned the maid in her house to take care of Wei Xiaoniang. The new female envoy also advised Wei Xiaoniang to move less and rest more. At that moment, Minglan knew that Lin Xiaoniang was the murderer of her mother. From then on, she tried many ways to guide Lin Xiaoniang and Mo Lan, and caught their greedy mentality of trying to marry into a high family. In the end, Lin Xiaoniang and her daughter were confused, violated Sheng Hong's taboo, and violated their moral bottom line. In the end, Lin Xiaoniang was sentenced to death. Sheng Hong was beaten to death, but Mo Lan still married into the Liang Mansion.
Life is not easy. In terms of heart, wisdom, strategy, and talent, Wei Xiaoniang is not inferior to Lin Xiaoniang. Unfortunately, her living situation in the Sheng family is not as good as that of Lin's, so she can only succumb to others. In the end, she was killed and two people died, and her ending was tragic. The successful ending of Minglan's revenge arranged by "Know or Not" can already satisfy the audience's psychological expectations, and the plot of Minglan growing up and taking revenge is also an inspirational story with great educational significance. Although Ming Lan designed to kill Lin Xiaoniang, she still showed mercy to Mo Lan. In fact, it is difficult for onlookers to judge whether Mo Lan is living well after marrying into the Liang family. Only she knows it in her heart. But she at least gained the superficial glory and wealth. In a sense, she achieved her original goal.
When Lin Xiaoniang was killed, two people died. If Minglan really tried her best to get revenge, she could actually put Mo Lan to death. After all, the old lady said at the beginning that Mo Lan would be beaten to death. At this time, if Ming Lan could act according to the opportunity and slap a fire in front of her grandmother and father, it would not be impossible for Mo Lan to be beaten to death. After all, Minglan lost not only her biological mother, Wei Xiaoniang, but also the unborn baby in her mother's belly. It's not too much to want to end Mo Lan's life. Moreover, Mo Lan's behavior had exceeded the bottom line of etiquette and morality at that time, and his words and deeds even made Hua Lan, the most gentle and dignified sister of the Sheng family, angry. After Hua Lan and her second sister-in-law visited Mo Lan, Hua Lan lost her sense of proportion and stood outside the door. He yelled: "Why didn't God strike her with lightning?" This behavior was already out of character.
Mo Lan was instigated by Lin Xiaoniang, and she was indeed taught bad things. As Hua Lan said: I thought you were raised by Mrs. Lin and were taught bad things by her. I didn't expect that you are better than others. Mo Lan, who married into the Liang Mansion, did spend some sweet time with Mr. Liang at first. When they returned home, Mo Lan cried and wanted to place her daughter's memorial tablet in Yuqing Temple, but Minglan sternly stopped her. . Mr. Liang also protected Mo Lan again and again. But as Young Master Liang began to have doubts about what Ming Lan said about Lin Sushuang killing her daughter-in-law and secretly covering up Mo Lan's meeting with Young Master Liang, which ultimately led to the marriage, he also wondered whether Ming Lan's words were true. And began to secretly investigate whether Mo Lan and her daughter really did what Ming Lan said. It wasn't until he finally figured it out and learned the rough facts.
Back to "Know or Not", the two concubines of the Sheng family actually had better backgrounds than the concubines of many other families. Although Lin Xiaoniang has a vicious heart, she was born into a family of officials or criminals, so she is also literate and has some tricks. Wei Xiaoniang came from a declining scholar's family. She was forced to sell herself as a concubine to save her family because of the disaster at home. The daughters of the Sheng family, except Mo Lan, were all raised by their aunt's mother. Hua Lan and Ru Lan were raised by their eldest wife. Minglan followed her younger mother since she was a child. Later, her younger sister passed away and was raised by Grandma Sheng's side. These three daughters behaved within the rules. Only Mo Lan, because of Sheng Hong's partiality and indulgence, was raised by his mother's side, so she developed the habit of being selfish and not distinguishing between right and wrong. As for Chang Feng, who was also born to Lin Xiaoniang, although he also behaved perversely, he was a boy after all and was not raised in an inner courtyard, so he did not learn too badly.
Also a girl from the Sheng family, the main reason why Mo Lan is different from the other three sisters is actually what Hua Lan said, because she was taught bad things by her biological mother.
Lin Xiaoniang insisted on keeping Mo Lan by her side, but she couldn't understand it at all. Old Mrs. Sheng was born in a famous family, and her horizons and knowledge were higher than hers. If Mo Lan was kept by her side, her life would be completely different. But even though Lin Xiaoniang is a bit smart, she only has "slight and despicable insights". How can she be able to raise her daughter well? In her eyes, both Mo Lan and Chang Feng are not only her support, but also tools she uses to fight for fame and fortune and make her face shine. She seems to love her daughter and son very much, but in fact, after all, On a deeper level, she uses them as tools to achieve her goals, and she can even do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. This is not real maternal love.
Compared with Wei Xiaoniang, although they are both concubines, they are also from a scholar's family, and they are slightly literate. Wei Xiaoniang is not favored, but she knows that the parents' beloved son has far-reaching plans. She would rather go against her daughter's wishes and endure the loneliness herself than send Minglan to Mrs. Sheng. Because she knew very well that even if she had to endure the loneliness of her daughter not being around, and Minglan had to endure the pain of the old lady’s strict discipline, in the long run, Minglan would be far more promising if she went to the old lady’s side than to her. For this purpose, she can endure all other sufferings and is willing to endure them. Wei Xiaoniang's knowledge is far higher than that of Lin Xiaoniang. If she hadn't died in childbirth, even if Minglan had been raised by her side, she wouldn't be much worse than the other sisters. On the other hand, Mo Lan seemed lucky to have her biological mother taking care of her, but in fact her life was ruined.
