Chapter 3: Don't raise someone else's son

Chen Qingyin became puzzled: "Second sister, didn't Mianmian come back with you?"

Hu Lan and Old Madam Hu looked at each other.

He quickly explained: "Sister-in-law, this is what happened. After I brought Mianmian into the mountains, she suddenly ran around and was soon lost."

"I searched everywhere but to no avail, so I hurried home to report the news, but I didn't expect that the little guy would come back on his own."

Hu Lan walked forward and, trying to pretend nothing had happened, pinched Mianmian's face.

"Mianmian, why did you come back secretly without telling your aunt? Do you want to make your aunt worry to death?"

Being close, Mianmian saw the arrogance surging in Hu Lan's eyes.

It is so justifiable to lie without even thinking about it.

I just thought Hu Mianmian was still the same little fool as before!

Humph, let her tell the truth herself.

Mianmian's round eyes were dark as she looked into Hu Lan's eyes.

The flowing magic power is like an abyss, which is about to devour people's minds.

Chen Qingyin had already begun to doubt.

"Second sister, you said Mianmian came back by herself? How is that possible!"

Hu Lan's eyes were blank, and she opened her lips and said dully, "Actually, I asked two servants to..."

Before she finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth.

A pair of eyes flickered with panic.

How did she almost reveal her plan to kill Hu Mianmian?

Mianmian didn't expect that her bewitching power was not powerful enough.

She lowered her head and looked at her small palm.

The guess is that this body is too small now, so she cannot release all of her magical powers.

Therefore, she could only manipulate young children like Rong'er and trick them into telling the truth.

Older people tend to have stronger defenses than children and are not so easily misled.

In this case, Mianmian decided to rely on herself.

With a "pa" sound, she waved away Hu Lan's hand that was pinching her face.

Everyone present was stunned.

Hu Mianmian raised her eyes and looked at Chen Qingyin pitifully.

"Mother, I'm afraid of my aunt. Please don't let my aunt get close to me, okay?"

Tears began to well up in the little guy's eyes.

Hu Lan said anxiously: "Mianmian, you are making aunt sad by saying this. Weren't you very happy when we went up the mountain to pick flowers together today?"

Madam Hu: "The child must have been frightened when he came back from the mountain. Qingyin, let the maid take Mianmian down to rest first."

The right thing to do is to adopt her grandson!

But Chen Qingyin disagreed.

Seeing the tears in Mianmian's eyes, she was very concerned.

My daughter was wronged, which was the most important thing in the world!

"Mianmian, why don't you like your aunt anymore? Tell your mother."

"My aunt threw Mianmian deep in the mountains and told her not to follow her, or she would sell me and make her never see her mother again."

Chen Qingyin was shocked.

It was hard to believe that these words came from her sister-in-law's mouth.

Ever since she got married, she has treated Hu Lan like a real sister.

Hu Lan shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Mianmian's little body shrank and she quickly hid in Chen Qingyin's arms.

The little guy choked up and said, "The servant that my aunt brought also broke Mianmian's head. Mother, Mianmian is in so much pain."

She pointed at the head, and Chen Qingyin quickly pulled aside the child's soft black hair.

I saw that the wound hidden in the hair was still bright red, but it was no longer bleeding.

For a mother, this is a bolt from the blue.

Chen Qingyin protected Mianmian, asked the maid to call a doctor, and then glared at Hu Lan.

"Second sister, you told me that you would take Mianmian out for an outing, but you let her go home alone with injuries. What on earth is going on?"

Hu Lan hurriedly explained: "She obviously ran away in the mountains by herself. What does it have to do with me?"

Even if there is a relationship, you can't admit it.

A hint of coldness flashed across his tearful eyes.

In the original owner's remaining memories, it was clear that it was Hu Lan who coerced and bribed little Hu Mianmian to follow the two servants away.

But the servant is dead now and there is no evidence to prove anything.

Old Madam Hu stared at Mianmian.

"Mianmian was originally very stupid and couldn't even speak a complete sentence, but now she can answer questions fluently and even make up such a lie. There must be something wrong with her."

Rong Er pointed at Mian Mian and said, "She is a monster, a monster!"

Chen Qingyin gave him a cold look, and Rong'er quickly shrank his neck and hid behind Madam Hu.

After a while, the doctor came.

Hu Mianmian obediently stretched out her hand for him to feel her pulse.

The whole hall waited with bated breath. Finally, the doctor said, "It must be a head injury, so the remaining blood clots need to be drained away before the mind can be opened. From now on, you will be no different from an ordinary person."

Chen Qingyin was extremely happy and gave the doctor a few gold leaves as a reward.

And asked him to prescribe good medicine for Hu Mianmian.

After the doctor left, Madam Hu spoke in a grim tone:

"Could it be that someone deliberately taught her to slander Lanlan?"

Chen Qingyin was extremely angry.

"Mother, in the entire mansion, Mianmian is the only one who is closest to me. Are you saying that I taught Mianmian to frame my second sister?"

Old Madam Hu showed an indifferent look.

"That's not what I meant. I just suddenly thought that your family has always looked down on us. Mianmian suddenly got lost and fell down, and she became smart. It's impossible for her to go home from the mountains by herself. So if you say that what you said just now was not instigated by someone, it doesn't make sense."

Chen Qingyin pursed her lips and said, "Although I have severed ties with my parents, they are upright people and would never instigate Mianmian to do this."

Mr. Hu, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"Well, no matter what happened, Qingyin, you have worked hard to take care of the family over the years. After a while, you can bring the children back to your parents' home. Your parents will definitely be happy."

Chen Qingyin frowned slightly.

The next second, Mr. Hu said, "The most important thing now is to give my son an adopted son. Mianmian is your biological daughter, but she is still a girl. Send her back to her room first and assign Rong'er's name certificate to the mansion."

Unexpectedly, Chen Qingyin got angry.

He slammed the table in protest against Mr. Hu.

"Father, you don't have to say it. There is no possibility of adoption. Not to mention that I didn't have that intention when Mianmian hadn't recovered. Now that Mianmian is well, I will only take care of her wholeheartedly and will not raise someone else's son."

When Mrs. Hu heard the five words "someone else's son", she was extremely angry.

Rong'er is her son's child!

"What do you mean? You can't give birth yourself, do you want my Hu family to be extinct?"

Chen Qingyin lowered her head and looked at Hu Mianmian blinking her big eyes.

She suddenly had an impulse.

"I will help my husband to take a concubine."

"What?" The Hu family and others were shocked.

Chen Qingyin raised her head, looked straight ahead, and spoke in a steady tone.

"I am willing to help my husband take a concubine and have children for him, but the legitimate child can only be Mianmian."

Suddenly a voice came from the door -

"I don't take concubines."
