Chapter 500: Stepmother

After lunch, Chu Hanyan took a brief nap. Following the nap, Chen Afu had her woken and dressed up. Upon hearing that Zhang Ziqi admired the disc buttons on Chu Hanyan's clothes, Chen Afu prepared five pairs of them, packed them in a wallet, and gave them to Chu Hanyan to give one pair to each of the girls.

Meanwhile, Chen Afu also dollied up Qi Qi and Hui Hui. Not only did she get them beautiful anklets, but also tied bow-knots around their necks. Given Qi Qi's vibrant feathers, its bow-knot was white; Hui Hui's being of a rather dull hue was decorated with a floral one.

She sternly cautioned the unruly Qi Qi not to use foul language or insult people. If it behaved well, Jin Yanzi would take them along with Zhui Feng's family for a trip to Fragrant Hill on the outskirts of the capital. If not, not only would the trip be cancelled, they would also fasten it with an iron chain and let it starve.
