Chapter 384 Fireworks
It has not been two months since Qin Zichen passed away, how could He Mingxue come here so soon to have the so-called New Year's Eve dinner happily in front of a bunch of people who don't like her.

Lin Chuqian twitched the corners of her mouth, and replied lightly. "Maybe."

Everyone at the table could tell that Lin Chuqian had nothing to discuss about this topic, but Aunt Gu just chose to turn a blind eye.

Aunt Gu took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her mouth, she leaned on He Rencheng's shoulder softly, and said with pretended sadness: "If you say this young lady is really pitiful, she finally found a marriage. But innocent died of illness, He Lang, don't you think it's very pitiful."

"En." He Rencheng replied vaguely, like Lin Chuqian, he was not interested in this topic.

Aunt Gu still ignored it, and continued to perform on her own. She raised her eyes and glanced at Aunt Liu. "He Lang, I heard that He Mingxue's biological mother contracted typhoid fever because a servant girl robbed her of her bedding and clothes to keep out the cold. It's really too hateful. How dare you do such a thing?!"

Aside from He Rencheng, probably only a few children could not understand the meaningful words.

"There are such things?" He Rencheng was slightly surprised, took a sip from the wine glass and wanted to let it go.

Aunt Gu pretended to be indignant and said: "No, He Lang, do you think there will be other people behind this matter?"

At this moment, He Rencheng didn't realize what Aunt Gu meant, so he waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Meiniang, you are overthinking, this was an accident, and who would plan such a thing with such ulterior motives?" ?impossible!"

Aunt Gu covered her mouth and chuckled, then turned her head and looked straight at Aunt Liu.Pretending to be innocent, she asked, "Aunt Liu, what do you think?"

Aunt Liu knew from the moment Aunt Gu opened her mouth that she couldn't say anything good, and it was as it should be.

Aunt Gu couldn't see her well, and the New Year's Eve insisted on coming over to settle old accounts with her, and revealed the truth about Tan Zichen's death from illness inside and out.

If it weren't for Aunt Liu's strong determination, she would have wanted to go up and slap Aunt Gu twice to make her remember.

Now her status in He Rencheng's heart is comparable to that of Aunt Gu who is as beautiful as a flower. Facing her cynicism, she can only bear with it.

Aunt Liu forced a smile, nodded and said: "He Lang is right, no one thought that such a thing would happen, it must be an accident."

"Really? I thought it was Aunt Liu who asked that girl to treat Tan Zichen harshly on purpose. After all, everyone knows that you have wanted to be a wife for a long time." Aunt Gu covered her mouth and smiled lightly, her tone was relaxed as if she was joking.

It's a pity that no one at the scene could laugh at her joke.

At this time, no matter how unresponsive a person is, he can hear that there is something in her words.

After hearing this, He Rencheng's face was sullen, and he put his wine glass on the table vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "It's Chinese New Year, don't mention those bad things again."

"He Lang." Aunt Gu covered her mouth and whispered, as if she was frightened by him.

Facing Aunt Gu who was pretending to be innocent and ignorant, He Rencheng suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a calm tone: "Meiniang, didn't you say you wanted to watch the fireworks? After the dinner, I will accompany you to the How about enjoying the fireworks by the river?"

"Really? He Lang." Aunt Gu was overjoyed, and hugged He Rencheng affectionately, almost sticking to him.She said happily and proudly: "I knew that He Lang treated me the best."

He Rencheng smiled and put his arms around her slender waist, completely ignoring Aunt Liu's livid face, and started rubbing hands with Aunt Gu as if no one else was there.

Seeing the undercurrent of the family banquet, Lin Chuqian lowered her head and looked at her nose, silently watching her heart.

If no one greeted her by name, she would never take the initiative to speak, and put all her body and mind into serving Sheng'er and He Mingzhu.

Aunt Gu never thought of directly exposing Aunt Liu's deliberate murder of Tan Zichen. After all, she has no evidence and can only verbally disgust Aunt Liu.

After getting He Rencheng's promise to accompany her to watch the fireworks on the river, she just let it go, sticking to He Rencheng's side to pick up vegetables and pour wine, talking and laughing from time to time.

A family dinner ended in such an undercurrent.

Without saying a word, Lin Chuqian said goodbye to He Rencheng with the two children, and then left without looking back.

This kind of broken occasion really depends on who knows.

If you don't leave, I'm afraid that the delicious food you just ate will not be digested.

**
When returning to the courtyard, Hui'er had already lit many lanterns, illuminating the entire courtyard as bright as day.

She raised her eyes and found that they had returned, and asked with a busy smile, "Aunt Bai, why did you come back so soon?"

"Come back after eating."

Lin Chu entered the room with a smile, took off her bulky coat and sat beside the charcoal fire to keep warm. He Mingzhu also took off her clothes silently, and put her petite body directly into her arms.

Sheng'er was very jealous when she saw it, but she was too embarrassed to speak, so she could only watch helplessly from the side.

Seeing this, Lin Chuqian couldn't help but chuckled, pulled Sheng'er into her arms with a big hand, raised her head and said solemnly, "Oh, I never thought I would have the blessing of having both children."

"Mother is naturally blessed." Sheng'er's cheeks were reddish, and she leaned in her arms and looked much cuter than usual old-fashioned.

"That's not."

Lin Chuqian smiled lightly, hugged her cheap child, and lamented in her heart that she did nothing and had two such big babies without even giving birth.

I don't know whether to cry or laugh.

After Hui'er was busy putting away the good things, she also sat down together. Several people chatted and laughed around the charcoal fire, boiled a pot of tea, and occasionally ate a piece of pastry and snacks. The harmonious atmosphere made people feel relaxed. .

According to custom, a vigil is required tonight.

It was okay at the beginning, everyone was talking and laughing, and the time passed quickly, but later, when the biological clock arrived, people began to feel sleepy.

Lin Chuqian was fine, but Sheng'er and He Mingzhu leaned on her feet from left to right and yawned, and then their eyelids began to fight.

Huier saw that they were afraid they would catch a cold and hurried to the back room to get two quilts to cover them up. Seeing this, Lin Chuqian couldn't help chuckling, feeling that Huier was more like an old lady than herself.

"Aunt Bai, what are you laughing at?" Hui'er asked in a low voice.

Lin Chuqian grinned, and said softly, "No, I just think Huier is a considerate and considerate woman. If anyone marries you in the future, it will be a big bargain."

After hearing this, Huier couldn't help but give her a blank look, knowing that she had started to be dishonest again. "You'll be poor."

Lin Chuqian laughed and didn't speak again.

The two sat for a while, Lin Chuqian's legs were numb from the pillow, slowly moved their heads away, got up lightly, and looked at the stars that were wiped out in the lights.

There was no sigh in my heart, I only heard a bang, and a beam of sparks exploded in the sky not far away, followed by the second and third beams.

The continuous stream of fireworks illuminated the vast skyline, making people overwhelmed and hopeful for the future.

The deafening fireworks woke up Sheng'er who was sleeping. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and stood up, walked to Lin Chuqian's side to watch the bright fireworks with her.

"Mom, the fireworks are so beautiful!"
