Grandma Sheng was the most important person in Minglan's heart. So when someone poisoned Grandma Sheng and put her life in danger, Minglan showed a totally different side of herself. At that time, she was already pregnant, and most family members wanted to hide the truth to save the family's face.

But Minglan refused to give in. She immediately closed all the gates of the Sheng house to stop the suspect from running away. She found reliable doctors to save Grandma Sheng, and stayed by her bed day and night. She also worked all night to collect evidence and find the real criminal. She even argued with her own father bravely, because she must get justice for her grandma.

For the person she loved most, she put aside all her usual low-key style. She was not afraid of offending anyone or ruining her reputation. Protecting her family was always her first and most important rule.

盛老太太是明兰心里最重要的人。所以当有人给盛老太太下毒、性命垂危的时候,明兰展现出了完全不一样的自己。那时候,她已经怀着身孕了,府里大多数人都想遮掩真相、保全家族的脸面。

可明兰不肯退让。她立刻关了盛府所有的门,不让凶手跑掉。她找了可靠的大夫来救盛老太太,日日夜夜守在祖母床边。她还熬了一整夜,收集证据、追查真凶。她甚至敢跟自己的父亲当面争辩,因为她一定要给祖母讨回公道。

为了最爱的人,她把平日里的低调全都抛到了脑后。她不怕得罪人,也不怕毁了自己的名声。保护家人,永远是她排在第一位的、最重要的原则。
