Chapter 45 You Are Not Qualified to Be a Maid

Liang Yunyan couldn't stand up. She was anxious and said in a bad tone: "Madam, what do you mean by this? Are you deliberately humiliating me?"

Chen Qingyin looked down at her and smiled slightly: "You misunderstood. Didn't the old lady just say that you kneel down to serve her every time she serves her medicine? I'll trouble you with the rest of the medicine."

Old Madam Hu was so angry that she slapped her chest and said, "Chen Qingyin, why did my son marry a vicious woman like you? You will be struck by lightning if you are not filial to your parents-in-law."

Chen Qingyin's beautiful eyes were dim: "Why did my husband marry me? Don't you understand, old lady?"

Her words seemed to have a deeper meaning. Old Madam Hu was already feeling guilty, so she was slightly stunned when she heard it and forgot to lose her temper.

Mrs. Hu was a little nervous: "What do you mean? He married you because you two loved each other."

Chen Qingyin twitched her red lips and smiled a perfunctory smile.

"Yes, people outside say that my husband is trying to get close to me in order to become my father's son-in-law, but I never believe these words."

Madam Hu panicked: "I shouldn't have believed it in the first place. Now Yun Shen is a fourth-rank general and has made military achievements, but he doesn't take a concubine and only favors you. People outside are jealous, so they say such provocative words."

Chen Qingyin nodded: "Mother is right, so I am also very kind to my husband. When my mother was sick, I asked a Taoist priest to see what was wrong. The Taoist priest said that my husband and I are one, and only when I am well can he be well, and if he is well, I will be even better."

"For my mother's longevity and the future of the general's mansion, I have to believe it. If I kneel today, my husband will have to kneel and bow to others in the officialdom in the future. How unlucky is that?"

Old Madam Hu's eyes were sinister and dark.

"You're not lying to me, are you? There's no such weird thing!"

Chen Qingyin took out a piece of paper folded into a triangle from her sleeve and waved it in front of Mrs. Hu.

"This is a talisman drawn by the Taoist priest, and he asked me to carry it with me." After Chen Qingyin said this, when Mrs. Hu reached out to take it, she put it back into her sleeve.

Chen Qingyin smiled and said, "If mother doesn't believe me, just call a Taoist priest to confront me."

Hu Mianmian sat in a chair nearby, holding her bottle, and saw clearly what was in her mother's hand.

Isn't that the paper she used to practice calligraphy and painting yesterday?

My mother actually used this to fool the old lady and the others.

The little guy covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

As soon as the idea of ​​calling a Taoist priest was mentioned, Mrs. Hu stopped talking.

Because I heard from Hu Yunshen before that it costs five hundred taels per invitation.

Seeing that Mrs. Hu said nothing more, Chen Qingyin turned to look at Liang Yunyan, only to see that Liang Yunyan's face looked very bad.

"Mrs. Liang, please give me the medicine quickly, otherwise it will be bad if it gets cold."

Liang Yunyan looked at Mrs. Hu eagerly, waiting for her to say something to make the decision for her.

Mrs. Hu said unhappily, "Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and serve me medicine."

Liang Yunyan was stunned, and a bitter feeling emerged in her heart.

How did Mrs. Hu change so quickly? She was obviously not like this before Chen Qingyin came.

It was agreed that they would give Chen Qingyin a warning, but now two people were torturing her together? After

Mrs. Hu finished drinking the medicine, Chen Qingyin patted her dress, picked up Hu Mianmian and said goodbye.

Old Madam Hu looked unwilling, but she could do nothing about it.

Even if she kept Chen Qingyin, she couldn't force her to serve her.

Chen Qingyin took Hu Mianmian out of Old Madam Hu's yard. Before they took two steps, Liang Yunyan's voice came from behind them.

"Madam, please stop!"

Chen Qingyin's eyes turned cold, and she turned around, her posture showing her dignity and the demeanor of a mistress: "What's wrong with you?"

Liang Yunyan couldn't swallow what she had just said.

She looked at Chen Qingyin and asked in a somewhat coercive tone: "Just now in front of the old lady, why did the eldest lady keep pressing my shoulders and not let me get up? Could it be that the eldest lady really regarded me as a slave?"

Without waiting for Chen Qingyin to answer, Liang Yunyan held her head high and chest out, then took two steps to the side.

"General Hu took me in, and I am very grateful to him. I was willing to take care of Madam Hu's illness. I agreed to do so in order to repay his kindness. But this does not mean that even the Madam can look down on me and treat me as your maid."

After saying this, she stared at Chen Qingyin, thinking that she was so noble that she would not let others look down on her.

"If there is a next time, I ask you not to be so excessive. I believe that you have studied for a few years and you should understand the principle that women should not embarrass women."

After hearing what she said, Hu Mianmian secretly curled her lips.

How can a mistress have the nerve to say these things?

Chen Qingyin chuckled when she heard this.

Liang Yunyan felt full of contempt, she frowned and asked: "What are you laughing at, Madam?"

"Mrs. Liang keeps saying that I treat you as a maid. I laugh and say you misunderstood. After all, being a maid in my Chen family requires an exam. Not only do you need to be literate and sensible, you also need to understand the rules. As for Mrs. Liang, I think she won't even pass the exam."

"If we weren't living under the same roof, you probably wouldn't even have the chance to talk to me."

After Chen Qingyin finished speaking, her beautiful eyes revealed a sharp look as she swept Liang Yunyan up and down, as if she could see clearly what kind of person she was.

Liang Yunyan felt deeply humiliated.

What did Chen Qingyin mean? Was she saying that she was not even as good as the servants of the Chen family?

"You..." Liang Yunyan was so angry that her eyes turned red.

Chen Qingyin turned and held Hu Mianmian's hand: "Since you only regard my husband as your savior, then I have nothing to say to you. You can listen to what I said just now if you like. If you are not happy, I can't do anything about it."

"By the way, since Madam Liang's family has been educated for three generations, you must be very strong-willed. When you have time, return all the things in your room to me. After all, those are my dowry, not Hu Yunshen's."

After saying that, Chen Qingyin took the little guy and walked away with her head held high.

Hu Mianmian jumped all the way.

Great! Mother scolded me well!

I should have scolded her like this a long time ago.

This Liang Yunyan kept saying that it was Hu Yunshen who took her into the mansion to take care of her, and she didn't appreciate her mother's efforts at all.

Chen Qingyin just left like that. Liang Yunyan was so angry that her heart ached and her face turned pale.

at night.

She returned to her own courtyard and refused to serve Madam Hu no matter what.

Originally, I thought Hu Yunshen would come over and ask her what was wrong, but as soon as Hu Yunshen came back, he went to Chen Qingyin's yard again.

He always wanted to sleep with Chen Qingyin, but was once again perfunctorily kicked out.

Liang Ruosheng ran in, and inside the room, Liang Yunyan's face was covered with tears.

She asked hurriedly, "How is it? Have you invited your father over?"

Liang Ruosheng shook his head: "Dad said he was in a bad mood and had to go back to the military camp to do some work, so he sent me back."

Liang Yunyan was stunned and lay on the table crying.

"If he loved Chen Qingyin wholeheartedly, why did he bother to provoke me in the first place! I am also a girl from an honest family..."

Even Liang Ruosheng had heard this several times, and her ears were almost callused.

Her mother is good in every way except that she likes to feel sad about the passing of time and always acts aloof.

Men may like this style at first, but after a while, they will always feel that it lacks something.

Fortunately, Liang Ruosheng had been in the palace before, and had learned a few tricks from the concubines who competed for favor.

"Mom, I'll give you an idea..."
