Chen Qingyin heard that Liang Yunyan went to take care of Old Madam Hu, staying by her bedside day and night, and was very dedicated.
Old Madam Hu liked her very much, and since Liang Yunyan was gentle and decent, even Hu Lan became friends with her.
Knowing all this, Chen Qingyin could only sneer.
If it were in the past, she would definitely be sad about this, but now, she felt nothing in her heart.
Taking advantage of the fine weather and cool autumn air, Chen Qingyin asked Linlang to move out all the things in her private storage and dry them in the sun.
This made Hu Mianmian very happy.
The little one picked up the tourmaline and pink jade bracelet to try it on, but her wrist was too thin and it accidentally slipped to her elbow.
Then she jumped into a box full of gorgeous silks, rummaged through them, picked out her favorite color, and tried it on her body.
Seeing her like this, Chen Qingyin smiled even more and told Linlang: "Take out all the cloth that Mianmian likes. It's time to make new clothes for her. As for the jewelry, give them to her when she grows up."
"Yes." Linlang responded.
Hu Mianmian lay in the box, her eyes round and black. She shook her little head and said in a baby voice, "Mom, I picked it for you!"
Chen Qingyin was startled, then smiled: "Did you pick it for me?"
Hu Mianmian rummaged through the box and asked Linlang to bring all the ones she had just selected to Chen Qingyin to try out.
Chen Qingyin usually dresses too plainly, mainly because after she got married, her mother-in-law and husband didn't like her to wear too bright clothes and always asked her to be dignified and low-key.
So she basically locked all those dazzling jade jewelry and silks into the box.
Being singled out by Hu Mianmian at this moment, Chen Qingyin stroked the emerald jade bracelet, feeling a little hesitant.
She is already twenty years old, is it still suitable for these pearls and jade?
Hu Mianmian raised her little face, hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, you can wear them in the future. Wear these rich and beautiful clothes!"
Chen Qingyin smiled and said, "Since Mianmian said so, then mother will put them on."
As she said that, she asked Linlang to move all the jewels and jade into the house.
Her makeup box usually contained pearls, white jade and the like, but now it was filled with many colorful gemstones, jade and agate, making it look even more luxurious.
That day, Hu Yunshen came back from the mansion in a hurry. He was originally going to the main courtyard to visit Old Madam Hu.
But who would have thought that when he passed by the four-corner pavilion in the garden, he suddenly saw a beautiful woman in orange and red clothes inside.
The other person was playing the piano with her back to him. Her flowing black hair was tied into a fairy bun with a pearl inserted diagonally. From behind, one could only see her full hair and her slender, white neck.
What a beautiful lady.
Hu Yunshen couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Chen Qingyin invited friends to visit?
He couldn't help but stepped forward: "Who are you?"
The beauty turned around, revealing a gorgeous face, black eyebrows, feathery eyelashes, slender eyes, and plump red lips.
For a moment, Hu Yunshen was stunned.
This turned out to be his wife, Chen Qingyin!
But he didn't expect that after Chen Qingyin saw him, a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes.
Even his gentle expression became much colder.
Hu Yunshen couldn't help but come back to his senses and frowned: "Madam? Why are you playing the piano here dressed like this?"
One could tell from the sparkling jewels on her head and the pair of jade pendants on her ears that they were very expensive.
This was her favorite outfit before she got married. Since she got married, she has never been so ostentatious again.
Chen Qingyin said in a cold tone: "What am I wearing? Aren't they just ordinary clothes? Mianmian wants to listen to me play the piano, so she and Linlang went back to change their clothes, so I will wait for them here."
As he was speaking, he heard the soft sounds of a little fellow in the distance.
"Mother, mother, I found the pipa, I want to listen to the pipa!"
Hu Yunshen turned around and saw Hu Mianmian and Linlang coming towards him. Linlang was indeed holding a pipa in her arms.
Hu Mianmian saw Hu Yunshen from afar, her feet paused, and she immediately turned her back, took out the veil made by her mother from her pocket, and put it on!
Your stinky dad doesn't deserve to see her little round face now, huh!
When he got closer, the little guy raised his head and said to Hu Yunshen in a somewhat impolite tone: "Why are you here?"
It made her mother look unhappy!
Hu Yunshen paused and said, "Mianmian, I am your father. This is the Hu Mansion. Why is it not good for your father to come and see you and your mother?"
Hu Mianmian pouted.
Just telling lies!
Chen Qingyin pulled Hu Mianmian and looked coldly at Hu Yunshen.
"My husband must be busy with official duties. I will play some music for Mianmian and then go back. My husband can do his own things."
Hu Yunshen looked at Chen Qingyin's delicate and cold appearance, and he suddenly didn't want to leave.
So he found a seat in the pavilion and sat down.
"I haven't heard Madam play the pipa for a long time. I happen to be free today, so I want to listen to it too."
Hu Mianmian is so angry, why is she still refusing to leave?
She was just about to use magic to drive away her annoying father, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Liang Ruosheng peeking out of the garden gate, as if observing this side.
The little girl's eyes turned, and she immediately changed her mind and ran to hug Chen Qingyin's arm.
"Mother, then play a song for Father."
Even if Chen Qingyin was unwilling to pay attention to Hu Yunshen, she would still give her daughter some face.
Besides, she didn't want to quarrel with Hu Yunshen in front of the little guy.
So Chen Qingyin nodded, sat down with the pipa in her arms, and plucked the strings with her slender fingertips, and immediately a beautiful melody flowed out from under her fingers.
Hu Yunshen stared in amazement.
Chen Qingyin now seemed to have regained the delicate and cool demeanor she had in the boudoir.
Her beauty is high above, like a cold moonlight that cannot be desecrated.
He was attracted by her family background and her beauty, and thought that marrying such a woman would not only give him offspring, but also help him rise in the officialdom.
Chen Qingyin was the best candidate to be his wife, so he deliberately designed Chen Qingyin to fall into the water, and then he took advantage of the situation and acted as a hero to save the beauty.
As expected, Chen Qingyin married him.
Liang Ruosheng saw this scene at the gate of the garden and returned to the main courtyard somewhat depressed.
Because Liang Yunyan is now taking care of Madam Hu day and night to help her recover from her illness, Madam Hu showed mercy and allowed her to live in the side room of the main courtyard so that it would be more convenient to take care of her.
But she had already served for five or six days, and not only was she exhausted, she was also unable to be intimate with Hu Yunshen.
Today, Hu Yunshen had promised her that he would come and have lunch with the mother and daughter at noon.
It was just right that he closed the door and hid in the side room. This was Old Madam Hu's yard, so Chen Qingyin wouldn't notice anything.
But she waited and waited, the food was cold and Hu Yunshen had not come yet. Liang Yunyan asked Liang Ruosheng to wait for him on the road that Hu Yunshen would take on his way home, but Liang Ruosheng came back unexpectedly with a lonely look on her face.
"Ruosheng, where's your father? Hasn't he come back yet? Go and wait for him!"
"Mom, what am I waiting for? Dad has already returned, but Chen Qingyin was playing the piano in the garden, so he... stayed."
