Chapter 2 Why Aren't You Dead?

Chen Qingyin looked at the chubby little boy and suddenly pulled her hand back.

She looked at Old Madam Hu seriously and said, "I don't want this child. Mianmian is my only daughter. Besides, does your husband know about this?"

Seeing that Chen Qingyin was not convinced, Mrs. Hu's expression changed immediately.

"How dare you ask? Yun Shen just won a battle and was promoted to a third-rank general, but he doesn't even have a son. People will laugh at him for having no successor. But you only care about your silly daughter and don't consider your husband at all!"

Chen Qingyin was immediately displeased when she heard her daughter being humiliated.

"Mother! No matter how bad Mianmian is, she is still Yunshen and I's child, and your granddaughter."

Madam Hu slammed the table and said, "What's the use of a granddaughter? You don't allow my son to take a concubine, and you don't want to adopt your son. You deliberately want us to live an uncomfortable life and want the Hu family to die out!"

Chen Qingyin was helpless: "What are you talking about? Since I got married, the mansion has been in short supply and has huge deficits. I used my dowry to subsidize it and did everything myself to support it. I only care about my husband and Mianmian. How could I not hope that the Hu Mansion would be better?"

Madam Hu: "Are you blaming us for making you suffer?"

Seeing this, the little boy quickly picked up the teacup next to him.

"Mother, don't be angry with grandmother. Rong'er will serve you tea." As he said this, he knelt down in front of Chen Qingyin.

The nanny beside him echoed: "Oh, Madam, look at how filial the young master is. He knows how to serve you tea at such a young age."

"Don't worry about adopting him. Young Master Rong is the chosen heir of the clan. Although his parents are both dead, he is very smart. The fortune teller also said that the young master is destined to be rich and prosperous!"

Rong'er looked at Chen Qingyin and said, "Mother, I will treat my sister well in the future. If anyone dares to bully her, I will beat that person."

Chen Qingyin was feeling angry, and couldn't help being touched when she heard these words.

My daughter is mentally retarded and has a birthmark on her face.

If she had a brother to accompany her while she grew up, would she still have a relative to take care of her when she died of old age?

At this moment, a soft voice came from the door——

"I don't want a brother who is not my mother's biological brother!"

Everyone turned around and saw Hu Mianmian walking in with light steps.

Old Madam Hu and the nanny widened their eyes for a moment, as if they had seen a ghost.

When Hu Mianmian passed by Rong'er, she glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, revealing a cold look.

Rong'er was stunned for a moment, then took the initiative to walk over and hold Hu Mianmian's hand.

"Sister Mianmian, I will be your brother from now on. My name is Rong'er."

Hu Mianmian shook off his hand and said, "Who is your sister? My mother hasn't agreed to recognize you yet!"

Rong'er was pushed and fell down on his butt.

Old Madam Hu hurried over and picked up Rong'er.

"Qingyin, this is the good daughter you taught, but she is so ignorant of etiquette!"

The first wife, Chen Qingyin, didn't care about that and just looked at her daughter with great surprise.

"Mianmian, you...you can speak so fluently now, and you can even call me mommy!"

When she said this, everyone realized that the young lady who was originally stupid and only knew how to laugh and cry had become so smart!

Old Madam Hu and the nanny looked at each other, both puzzled.

Hu Mianmian was in Chen Qingyin's arms, hugging her gently with her little hands.

"Yes, mother, I'm back and will make the decision for you."

Chen Qingyin cried with joy and hugged her daughter, unable to hide her excitement.

Madam Hu rolled her eyes and pretended to be kind: "Mianmian, take a look at Rong'er. Do you like him to be your brother?"

Chen Qingyin was also looking forward to her daughter's response.

Hu Mianmian is everything to her. If her daughter also wants a brother, she doesn't mind adopting Rong'er.

Hu Mianmian blinked her dark and bright eyes and looked at Rong'er.

"You want to be my brother?"

Rong'er only felt that there seemed to be dark waves in her eyes, rising and falling, which could not help but attract people to fall into them.

"Of course I want to be your brother. Nanny said that your mother is very rich and is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. You are a fool. As long as I am adopted, all your mother's money will be mine. The Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion will only recognize me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly covered his mouth and widened his eyes.

What's going on? He actually said what he really felt!

Old Madam Hu and the others all looked discolored.

Chen Qingyin's expression was extremely ugly: "What? Nanny taught you this?!"

The nanny was flustered and immediately tried to smooth things over: "Master Rong'er didn't mean that. He is young and has a bad tongue. He meant that he would take good care of Miss Mianmian like the eldest lady did in the future."

Hu Mianmian tilted her head, stared at Rong'er, and said in a soft and cute voice: "Is that so?"

The black light in the eyes lingered, and Rong'er was stunned again.

He couldn't help but say: "Of course not, not only will I not take care of you, I will also take away everything you have. Once the mistress dies, the general's mansion will be mine, and I will kick you out of the house."

"How outrageous!" Chen Qingyin couldn't bear to hear it any longer. "You are so young, but you have such vicious and sinister thoughts!"

Rong'er covered her mouth and was about to cry.

Why can't I help but speak out my true feelings?

He saw Hu Mianmian in Chen Qingyin's arms, smiling coldly at him.

Rong'er was so scared that he burst into tears and ran straight into Madam Hu's arms.

"Grandma, this person knows we are pretending, she knows everything! I want my mother, I... wuwu!"

Mrs. Hu was so frightened that she immediately covered Rong'er's mouth.

Chen Qingyin's doubtful eyes had already swept over, and the nanny quickly explained: "Master Rong'er must be too nervous. I will take him downstairs right away."

"Stop, no one is allowed to leave until everything is explained clearly." Chen Qingyin said.

She was in charge of the general's mansion's household affairs, and as the mistress of the household, she was extremely powerful.

"Just now the child said that these words were taught by the nanny," she looked at the nanny beside the old lady, "Mother, the nanny has been serving you for more than 20 years. Why would she have such thoughts?"

"She, she..." Old Madam Hu couldn't explain.

Could it be said that it was her instruction?

Old Madam Hu could only choose to protect herself.

"Madam Gao, you are going too far. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

Chen Qingyin: "This cunning servant actually wanted to seize his master's land. He must be handed over to the government."

The nanny turned pale and knelt down suddenly: "Madam! It's all my fault for being confused for a moment. I know I was wrong and I won't dare to do it again. Please have mercy on me, have mercy on me!"

She kowtowed heavily, but Chen Qingyin was extremely indifferent. She just covered Hu Mianmian's eyes to prevent her daughter from seeing it and not scaring her.

Hu Mianmian pouted.

How could she persuade these people to tell the truth if she blocked their eyes?

Chen Qingyin said sternly: "This child must have a shady background. Someone, take Madam and him to the government and investigate thoroughly!"

Old Madam Hu was completely panicked.

"How dare you!" This is her grandson!

Chen Qingyin gave her a strange look.

"Mother, this cunning servant has taught the child to be so scheming, do you still want to show mercy?"

"Well, you don't have to send it to the government, Qingyin, don't be so unreasonable and narrow-minded. How can my son like it?" Old Madam Hu turned the tables.

But Chen Qingyin didn't buy it.

"My husband is a general, and he should understand that the army has its own laws and the family has its own rules. If he knew about this, he would only support my decision."

At this moment.

A panicked female voice came from the door -

"Oh no, mother, sister-in-law, Mianmian has disappeared deep into the mountains!"

A gorgeously dressed woman ran in. She was none other than Mrs. Hu's youngest daughter, Hu Lan, and also Hu Mianmian's sister-in-law.

Hu Lan came in and was about to tell Chen Qingyin the situation in tears as they had agreed.

But he didn't expect to see the little girl sitting in Chen Qingyin's arms at first glance.

He was blinking his big dark eyes and staring at her with interest.

Hu Lanru was struck by lightning.

"You, why are you here?" She was not dead!
