I'm the Villain's Mother in Time Time

Chapter 374

After Lin Chuqian ate a few mouthfuls, she ate more than half of the sweet potatoes that she set aside. After satisfying her hunger, she had time to see her cheap son and cheap daughter.

"Aren't you going to eat?" She asked straightforwardly.

The corner of Sheng'er's mouth twitched, and she pointed at the charcoal fire.He said innocently, "We can't tell which ones are sweet potatoes."

It was only then that Lin Chuqian realized how stepmother she was for spending the time alone just now. After a few awkward laughs, she quickly stepped forward to help each of them pick out a sweet potato.

"It's very hot, be careful not to burn it."

The two of them stared at the sweet potato as black as charcoal in front of them, and they didn't know what to do.

He Mingzhu was rather greedy, and couldn't care less about the sweet potato's dark appearance, so she just followed Lin Chuqian's example and started eating after breaking open.

Sheng'er didn't hesitate anymore when she saw this, and started to eat after imitating the example.

Huier, who brought a pot of tea from outside, came back and saw the three of them sitting around the charcoal fire, eating sweet potatoes in silence.

When I walked in, I saw that all three of them had turned into little faces.

Huier immediately fell to the ground laughing. "How do you eat like this?"

Lin Chuqian raised her head when she heard this, and found that the faces of He Mingzhu and Sheng'er were covered with black sweet potatoes, she couldn't help but also laughed.

Sheng'er raised her head when she heard the laughter, and couldn't help laughing when she saw Lin Chuqian's painted face.

He Mingzhu was even simpler. Seeing that everyone was laughing, she grinned and followed suit.

Suddenly, laughter echoed in this secluded yard.

Huier brought hot water for them to wash their hands and wipe their faces. Lin Chuqian asked her to carry He Mingzhu, who had started to doze off after eating sweet potatoes, back to the room, while she herself took Sheng'er and told him the truth The words that had been accumulated in her heart since Tan Zi's death.

"Sheng'er, there is something I've always wanted to tell you."

Sheng'er was surprised by her overly serious expression. "Mom, what do you want to say?"

"You are still young, there are some things that I shouldn't have told you, but I feel very disturbed if I don't tell you." Lin Chuqian often felt uneasy thinking about what happened in the mansion recently.

She raised her hand to touch Sheng'er's cheek, and said softly: "The mansion is not peaceful now, and the situation is also very strange, you must be more careful."

Sheng'er was slightly startled, and opened his mouth to ask her if she had noticed something, but seeing the melancholy in her eyes, he still didn't ask anything after all, but nodded, and replied seriously: "Mom, I know gone."

"It's good that you know, it's getting late, go to rest early!"

Lin Chu smiled and pinched his cheeks that were still a little fat, and heaved a sigh of relief, got up and walked back to her room.

The storm is coming, and the undercurrent is surging.

It was snowing heavily outside the house, and Lin Chuqian didn't do anything other than stay inside the house and burn charcoal for warmth every day.

Every day, Butler Liu still came to report to her and ask for instructions on the affairs of the mansion. Lin Chuqian yawned and felt like she could hibernate at any time.

"Aunt Bai, it's getting colder and colder these days. Aunt Gu often sends people over these days, saying that there is not enough charcoal in the house, and she asks to send an extra catty to her house every day."

Lin Chuqian really wanted to roll her eyes after hearing this.

I thought that Aunt Gu would eat charcoal in the house all day long!

Originally, each yard prepared two catties of charcoal fire per day, and this amount was enough even for a whole day of uninterrupted burning. Why is it not enough when it comes to Aunt Gu's place?

"Did Aunt Nian say something was missing in her room?" Lin Chuqian did not answer Aunt Gu's question directly, but asked Aunt Nian.

Butler Liu had already figured out her temperament very clearly, and he didn't struggle with it. Instead, he cupped his hands respectfully and replied: "Aunt Nian has never mentioned any dissatisfaction, nor has she ever offered to ask for anything."

Lin Chuqian nodded thoughtfully. "Send more people to look at my aunt's house last year. Her belly should be four or five months old. Let the people in her house take good care of her."

"Yes." Butler Liu agreed with a nod.Speaking of Aunt Nian's pregnancy, he couldn't help thinking of Aunt Gu who was also pregnant in the mansion, so he changed the subject again. "It's strange to say that Aunt Gu is more than two months pregnant now, but she doesn't look any different from before."

"Maybe it's because the winter clothes are thick, so you can't tell."

Lin Chuqian didn't care, she turned around and drank a cup of hot tea leisurely, looking very comfortable.She squinted her eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said to Butler Liu who had been waiting for her reply, "Forget it, the charcoal fire in Aunt Gu's room is not enough, so just give her an extra half a catty a day, if she still thinks it's not enough, Let her tell the master herself."

"Yes, this old slave knows what to do." Butler Liu replied respectfully.

After dealing with today's affairs, Steward Liu didn't stay any longer, and left after saying goodbye.

Lin Chuqian sat in the room making tea in a daze, looking at the snowflakes all over the sky, from surprise at the beginning to indifference now.

After watching too much, I think that's the same thing when it snows.

This is the best time to eat hot pot.

She couldn't help getting greedy again, but it was freezing cold, and she didn't want to move at all.

In the afternoon, after the sun came out, it illuminated the snowflakes that had accumulated on the branches in the yard.

He Mingzhu was full of childlike innocence, giggling and playing with snowflakes alone in the yard, occasionally made a small snowball, and brought it to the house with great interest to show Lin Chuqian.

Often, as soon as it is held in front of her, the heat in the room will melt within a few seconds.

He Mingzhu was very surprised, she stared at her palm with wide eyes, and couldn't find her freshly squeezed snowball.

So she couldn't be reconciled and went to pinch a small snowball again, and just as she held it in front of Lin Chuqian, it melted again.

After repeating this for a few days, He Mingzhu finally got impatient, and angrily went to the yard to pick up a big snowball, then ran up to Lin Chuqian with her calves, and handed her the gradually melting snowball like a treasure .

"Mom, here it is for you."

Lin Chuqian couldn't help laughing, and said solemnly after receiving the snowball: "Thank you, I will keep it well."

Although the big snowball turned into a small snowball in the end, He Mingzhu's goal was achieved, so she happily ran to the yard to scrape the snow on the ground.

It is not surprising that I have loved scraping mud since I was a child, and now I like scraping snow.

Lin Chuqian didn't stop her, she let herself play however she liked.

Just as she was drinking hot tea and drowsy in her cloak, the yard door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Aunt Bai."

Lin Chuqian was taken aback, looked up and found that it was Hui'er who came back, she said angrily, "Hui'er is fine, don't be so surprised."

Hui'er's face was anxious, she couldn't care about her complaints, she quickly walked into the room, walked up to her and said in a low voice: "Something happened in the house, Aunt Bai."

"What happened?" Lin Chuqian lost all sleepiness.

"Aunt Gu fell in the garden today, and now she is crying and yelling in the house, saying that Aunt Liu will pay for her life!" Huier panicked when she heard the news, and what she said would be incoherent. I don't understand.

Lin Chuqian listened with only a half-knowledge. "She fell down, why would Aunt Liu pay for her life?"
