Chapter 204 You are back
Leng Qingyu knew clearly that if she took a step back now, Xin Ran would also suffer.
She can suffer injustice, but her daughter cannot.
Besides, she had endured it in the past for the sake of the overall situation. But now, is there any overall situation for her to consider?
"Mother," Leng Qingyu said.
"I stayed in Yuntong County for treatment. My poor health over the years has caused my mother and Tin'en a lot of worry. My mother also hopes that I can get better soon."
The old lady was stunned. She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law, who had been obedient for many years, would dare to talk back.
She put the tea bowl in her hand down heavily with a "click" sound, and said coldly: "What good doctor can there be in a small Yuntong County?
Over the years, many famous doctors in the capital have been invited, and even the imperial doctors in the palace have been invited by Ting'en to see you. Now you tell me that you went all the way to that remote place in Yuntong County to see a doctor?
If others hear this, they will think that we are treating you harshly!"
Leng Qingyu remained calm and just said, "Mother, why do you think so?
Tin'en has taken great care of me over the years, and you have even put half of the mansion in my hands.
Everyone in the capital knows that the Marquis and I are in perfect harmony and treat each other with respect. No matter who it is, no one would think that way. "
The old lady snorted coldly and said nothing.
Leng Qingyu took the opportunity to say, "In addition to curing the disease, my daughter-in-law actually has another very important thing to do this time."
As she spoke, she pulled Ye Xinran in front of her.
"My Lord and I went to Yunbian Village this time and unexpectedly found our biological daughter Xinran. Xinran, this is my grandmother."
Ye Xinran felt displeased looking at the fat and mean-looking old lady.
But on the surface, she still bowed respectfully and said, "Granddaughter greets grandmother."
The old lady looked at Ye Xinran with an unnatural expression on her face.
She coughed and then said, “I heard about this from Tin En.
Since you are the blood of my Lu family, I will settle you down well.
Let Madam Sun take her to live in Xikua later."
Leng Qingyu shook his head when he heard that. "It's fine to clean up the west wing and keep it ready, but Xinran has just arrived and doesn't understand many things yet. For the time being, let her live in my yard."
"She's already so old, and she still lives with you!"
The old lady was obviously dissatisfied.
Leng Qingyu still insisted, "We have just met as mother and daughter, and we need to get to know each other better."
Old Madam Lu looked Ye Xinran up and down, with dissatisfaction in her eyes.
“It’s okay to teach him a lesson. After all, he’s a wild child raised in the countryside and doesn’t know any rules.
Let Zhiyi have less contact with her, so that Zhiyi's good child will not be affected by her."
Leng Qingyu became furious when she heard this and retorted, "Xinran is not an ordinary child. Mother, please don't look down on her."
The old lady's expression changed, "Ms. Leng, I see that you haven't made any progress in other aspects this time, but you have become much braver.
I didn't pursue the matter with you just now because of Tin'en's reputation, but you have become even more ignorant of your own limitations.
You haven't come back for a long time, what is it out there that attracts you? "
As the old lady of the Marquis's mansion, it is inevitable that people will think too much when she says such words to her daughter-in-law.
Women in the inner chamber value their chastity and reputation more than their lives.
Her light words could cost someone's life.
Ye Xinran couldn't listen any longer, so she bowed lightly and said, "Old Madam, please calm down!
My granddaughter just took a closer look and found that you have three horizontal lines under your nose. I guess you tend to get angry quickly and swear a lot.
You are already old, so you should be more careful with your words.
I think since there is a neat and tidy ancestral hall built in the yard, we should make good use of it.
After all, your health is important. If you commit too many bad words, it may reduce your Yin Fu. "
Madam Lu originally wanted to give Leng Qingyu a warning, but she never expected that the girl she brought back would be so sharp-tongued.
"You are so brave! When I teach your mother a lesson, when will it be your turn to speak?"
Ye Xinran bowed again and said, "Granddaughter is also concerned about grandma's health. I am afraid that you will not be able to enjoy the happiness of family life. If there is anything wrong with what I said, please forgive me!"
The old lady slammed the table and said, "How dare you! How dare the younger generation of my mansion be so ignorant of etiquette? Madam Sun, slap me in the face!"
"Yes!"
Nanny Sun, who was standing behind Madam Lu, rolled up her sleeves and walked towards Ye Xinran.
As she raised her fat palm, she felt a sudden sharp pain.
She turned her head and saw the girl next to Ye Xinran grabbed her wrist.
Ding Qiao exerted force on her hands and swung Nanny Sun's hand in a circle.
With a "slap" sound, a slap swung back and hit Nanny Sun's own face.
"Ah...you, you dare to hit me!"
Nanny Sun covered her beaten face with her hands, while the other half of her face turned red with anger.
Ding Qiao retreated back to where he was, with a serious look on his face.
"You hit yourself just now, not me.
But if you dare to attack my master again, I will be rude to you!"
"Reverse, reverse!"
Madam Lu slammed the table and stood up.
Half of the tea on the table was spilled out.
"Leng, you actually dared to bring someone of unknown origin into the Marquis' Mansion. What on earth are you thinking? Do you want to beat up your mother-in-law?"
Faced with Madam Lu's accusations, Leng Qingyu was not at all panicked.
She calmly explained, "Mother, Ding Qiao is Xinran's personal maid, not someone of unknown origin.
Although Nanny Sun is an old lady by your side, she is a servant after all.
It is extremely disrespectful for a servant to dare to attack his master!
Ding Qiao was not wrong to stop her! "
"Okay, okay, I think you don't take me, your mother-in-law, seriously.
Come here, take these two new girls away. I want to personally check to see if she is a child of the Lu family!"
"Mother!"
Leng Qingyu stopped the old lady and said, "The Marquis has personally verified this matter in Yuntong County. Don't you believe it?"
Madam Lu sneered, "Ting En is so kind, what if he was deceived by you? I think this is your conspiracy!"
After saying that, she yelled at the servant: "What are you all standing there for? Go and arrest him!"
Ding Qiao immediately protected Ye Xinran: "Let's see who will make the move!"
The two sides were on the verge of a life-and-death fight.
At this moment, Lord Lu walked in from outside.
"Qingyu, you're back!"
"Mom, what are you doing!"
"Stop it! Everyone, get back!"
Lord Lu ordered the servants to leave.
He came over and grabbed Leng Qingyu's hand immediately.
"Why didn't you send someone to inform me in advance when you came back so that I could pick you up at the city gate!"
He looked at Leng Qingyu with deep affection, his eyes filled with guilt, longing and surprise.
