The little lady of the Xiucai family (rebirth)

"Mother-in-law is fine..."

Lin Qingyu got out of the carriage exhausted, her footsteps were shaky as if she had drunk too much.

She originally thought that Xu Shen took his mother-in-law away quietly under the pretext of having something to do, but in fact he wanted to harm her mother-in-law, but she did not expect that she was suspicious.

The two of them did go drinking together as Lan Qing said, and they drank so darkly that when she found someone, the room was filled with the choking smell of alcohol, and there was almost nowhere to put the empty wine bottles on the table.

Lan Qing hurriedly stepped forward to support her, the lantern in her hand almost fell off, "Did mother drag you to drink?"

Lin Qingyu had a faint smell of alcohol, although it was not strong, Lan Qing could still smell it.

Seeing Lin Qingyu nodding, Lan Qing's expression darkened, "Why don't you refuse?"

"I was the one who got impulsive today, and spoiled their drinking interest, so I should be punished."

Lin Qingyu yawned, she was very sleepy, if the ox cart wasn't jolted and afraid of falling off, she would have fallen asleep in the cart.

After paying the fare, Lin Qingyu went home and fell asleep. Lan Qing was considerate of her sleeplessness last night, and she was busy until late at night today. Although she had doubts in her heart, she suppressed and prepared to ask questions tomorrow.

On the second day, early in the morning, magpies flew up to the branches, chirping non-stop on the big locust tree outside the courtyard.

Lan Bang sat idle in the yard, took a handful of chestnut rice and sprinkled it on the ground, quite interested in feeding the birds, but the birds were vigilant and suspicious by nature, so they didn't come down to look for food for a long time.

After finishing the housework, Lan Qing took her embroidery work and planned to embroider outside the door, and waited for her mother to come back by the way.

When passing by her father, Lan Bang snorted coldly, "Proficiency lies in diligence and playfulness, success in thought and destruction in casualness. What can she get out of the exam if she neglects her studies so much?"

Lan Qing sighed slightly, "Father, she is not in good health. The night before yesterday, she was worried about her daughter. She stood outside all night. She was not feeling well and fell asleep. It's not because she is lazy."

Hearing that Lan Bang was not satisfied, he snorted again, raised his finger and pointed to the sun in the sky, "How long have you been looking for yourself?"

"Then I'll wake her up early tomorrow." Lan Qing didn't look up to see the position of the sun, and asked respectfully, "Father, is there anything else I need to explain? If not, my daughter will go to work."

Lan Bang frowned and waved his hands impatiently.

Lan Qing took two steps, but heard him complain: "Didn't she just stand there all night? Her body is not paper."

Lan Bang deliberately lowered his voice, and when he spoke, he deliberately glanced into Lin Qingyu's room, the door was half closed, and he couldn't see anything.

Just as he turned his head, he suddenly heard a violent cough coming from inside, his eyelids twitched, and he became tense for a moment.

Just as she was about to call someone, she saw that her daughter had put down the sewing basket in her hand, opened the door and entered.

"..."

……

Probably because she had been lying down for a long time, Lin Qingyu felt a little breathless in her chest, and when she sat up, she felt a lot of relief. When she raised her eyes and saw Lan Qing coming in, she was still a little confused. She cleared her throat, "Little lady, you woke up so early. ah."

Her voice was very hoarse, as if her throat had been burned. Lan Qing suspected that it was burnt by strong alcohol. The smile on her lips faded a little, and she turned and went out in silence.

After a while, he brought sugar water with honey and handed it to Lin Qingyu, "Husband, drink some water to moisten your throat."

After drinking water and suppressing her cough, Lin Qingyu felt much better, so she casually put the cup on the low table beside her and got up to get dressed.

"Little lady, is mother-in-law back?"

"Not yet," Lan Qing unconsciously frowned, her voice lowered, "Husband, what do you mean by what you said yesterday? Why is it dangerous for my mother to be with Mr. Xu?"

Her mother just had a drink with Xu Shen two days ago, so there shouldn't be any trouble, right?

Hearing this, Lin Qingyu couldn't help but pause her hands for putting on clothes, and after a while, she hooked her hands at Lan Qing mysteriously.

Lan Qing was puzzled, but she would obey her ears, and heard Lin Qingyu whisper: "Little lady, my mother-in-law eavesdropped on my conversation with Mr. Xu yesterday, and was discovered by Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu is really a dangerous person. With that hand In an instant, he pressed the handle of the knife and was ready to go, which scared me to death."

From the corner of the eye, Lan Qing's face became embarrassing, she didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said directly: "Don't worry, little lady, I stopped her, and I specially told her at the banquet yesterday..."

The little lady's expression became more and more dignified. She frowned and her eyes were deep, which made her swallow her words, "Little lady, what do you want to say? You go first..."

After a moment of hesitation, Lan Qing asked, "What did you guys talk about yesterday? But it has something to do with your background?"

Lin Qingyu nodded, and saw the little lady's frowning brows gradually relax, and a smile appeared on her lips again, "Husband, there is food left in the kitchen, you can go and eat after you wash up, take a break after eating, and drink the medicine, it's already gone." When it’s ready, keep it warm in the pot.”

Seeing that Lin Qingyu had nothing else to do, she turned around and went out, her smile was completely restrained, and she couldn't see a trace of it.

Compared with the past, her steps are a little heavy...

Mrs. Lan didn't come back in a carriage until sunset.

Xu Shen personally brought her back with someone.

Listening to the movement outside, Lan Bang rarely showed a smile, pushed open the door of the study and walked out, but when he saw Xu Shen in the yard, his face darkened instantly, he snorted angrily, turned his head and went back Go back to the house and close the door.

Lin Qingyu went to look for Mrs. Lan yesterday, and Mrs. Lan happened to be drunk and taking a nap on the table, so she thought that Xu Shen had already murdered her mother-in-law, and now she was shocked and wanted to fight Xu Shen to her death.

Xu Shen also drank too much, his hands and feet became weak and he couldn't use his strength, so he hung the paint under Lin Qingyu's hands. She didn't care about the bruises on the corners of her lips, but it fell into Lin Qingyu's eyes. Lin Qingyu was embarrassed and wanted to find a place Get in.

After saying hello to Xu Shen briefly, Lin Qingyu told Lan Qing to entertain the guests, and then went back to her room for retreat without looking back.

It was getting late, Xu Shen didn't stay for too long, and took his leave after a while.

Hearing the sound of her leaving, Lin Qingyu slowly came out of the room.

Mrs. Lan was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard. The mother and daughter were chatting. Seeing her coming out, she couldn't help laughing, "Unexpectedly, Qingyu is weak and delicate, but she also has a mighty and extraordinary side."

Lin Qingyu finally calmed down, and when she heard the words, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't do it, so she smiled sarcastically, not knowing what to say.

She felt a little sad in her heart, if she wasn't worried about her mother-in-law's safety, why would she lose her mind and lose her demeanor?

In the end, her good mother-in-law looked like she was watching a good show.

Lan Qing looked at the two of them, thought for a moment, and decided to save some face for the bitter Lin Qingyu, and stopped asking.

But Mrs. Lan didn't think so. She saw Lin Qingyu ruthlessly grabbing Xu Shen's neck with red eyes, which frightened Xu Shen so much that he didn't dare to move an inch.

Such an imposing scholar is her son-in-law, she is proud of it, and patted Lan Qing's hand with a smile, "My daughter really found a good husband-in-law, it's rare to be so unafraid of the rich and powerful."

"Your father and I were still worried that Qingyu would not be able to protect you. It seems that we were worrying too much. It is not appropriate for your father and I to follow you all the time. We will set off to find your brother in two days, and listen to what Mr. Xu said about you. Brother and your sister-in-law opened a shop in the capital, and they need help," Mrs. Lan said, raising her hand and patted her knee, "As this old bone can still move, help them more or less."

Before the exile, Lan Qing's brother wrote a letter to release his wife, and her sister-in-law was taken back by her natal family.

She didn't expect her brother and sister-in-law to be reunited, and she was happy for her brother from the bottom of her heart, "If you don't wait a little longer, my husband will go too, and we will have someone to take care of us on the way out together."

Madam Lan nodded and looked at Lin Qingyu, "Qingyu, when do you plan to leave? If you want to wait until the announcement, your father and I won't wait for you."

The release date will probably be in mid-September, and it will take about a month, which is really a long time.

Lin Qingyu had promised Lan Qing to go to the capital for medical treatment in private, but this time she showed hesitation, she still hadn't made up her mind...

Now in Yuyang City, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so I am not afraid that Xu Shen will forcibly separate the two of them, but at the feet of the emperor, it will be terrible if the empress cannot be persuaded.

She looked at Lan Qing, with worry in her eyes again, Lan Qing slightly curled her lips, "It's only a few days away, arrange the family affairs and leave."

Lan Qing planned to finish the embroidery work in hand, and then go to say goodbye to Granny Li and the doctor, and about Lin Xiu, etc...

After counting the things to be done, Lan Qing also felt that it was time to hurry up.
