Hu Yunshen was immediately furious: "What kind of maid is this? She is so ignorant and doesn't know how to be grateful. She is the widow of my savior!"
Hu Mianmian shuddered, hugged the quilt, and blinked her big eyes pitifully.
"Mother, he is so fierce."
The soft voice is full of grievance.
Although that very pretty face was affected by the birthmark, it could not conceal her pitiful temperament.
It makes people have an infinite desire to protect.
Chen Qingyin immediately protected her daughter and was also a little angry.
"Husband, Mianmian is still young and doesn't understand anything. Why are you so mean to her? She's already frightened today!"
"Mianmian doesn't understand, don't you understand either? Not to mention that he is my lifesaver, her husband is a loyal soldier serving Dayan! Shouldn't he be respected?"
Hu Mianmian said weakly, "I understand. Don't be angry. Her husband is a short-lived ghost, so you want to take her in, right?"
Hu Yunshen clenched his fists: "You kid!"
Saying that he has a short life? How unfilial!
Hu Yunshen said to Chen Qingyin sternly: "Mianmian was mentally retarded before, and had trouble speaking normally. Now she has no manners at all. I think we should send her back to the old house and ask a nanny to teach her for a few years before bringing her back, so that she won't embarrass us when she grows up."
Chen Qingyin looked at him instantly: "Send her away? Absolutely not. Mianmian is my daughter. I will teach her personally."
Hu Yunshen's handsome features revealed anger.
He looked at her as if disappointed.
In order to calm him down, Chen Qingyin gave in: "Forget it, isn't it just about bringing the widow in to take care of her? The general's mansion won't be short of food for them. If you want to do it, go ahead."
Only then did Hu Yunshen calm down a little.
He held Chen Qingyin's hand and said, "Madam, you are more sensible. With your guidance, I believe Mianmian will soon be sensible."
Hu Mianmian saw this from the side and kicked the quilt in anger.
"I won't pay any attention to you!" She turned over and fell asleep like a deflated marshmallow, leaving only her back to them.
From the back, you can see that the little girl's cheeks are puffed up with anger, and her face is round like a small hill.
Hu Mianmian was angry in her heart, her mother was just a confused beauty, so stupid!
No wonder he was bullied to death by the Hu family.
Hu Yunshen glanced at Hu Mianmian and said nothing.
Chen Qingyin smiled helplessly: "Husband, do you want to stay and rest tonight? I'll ask someone to get you some water..."
"No need," Hu Yunshen refused, "I just returned to Beijing and I still have a lot of military affairs to deal with. You should rest first."
After saying that, he walked away, and Chen Qingyin eagerly saw him off to the door.
When Hu Mianmian heard the noise, she was so angry that her fox ears almost popped out.
Confused beauty, stupid mother!
Hu Yunshen was not dealing with military affairs at all. He was clearly going to another house in the city to tell his mistress the good news.
Letting the mother and daughter into the house is like inviting a wolf into the house!
Hu Mianmian muttered to herself: "I'll let you be bullied to death, humph, anyway, I don't care, I'll find King Zhou and help him, no more stupid mother!"
The little guy was muttering to himself, and when he heard the sound of Chen Qingyin coming back, Hu Mianmian closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The bed beside her collapsed a little. Chen Qingyin sat there, gently stroking Hu Mianmian's black hair with her delicate hands.
"Mianmian, fell asleep?"
"Hmm!" Hu Mianmian said, and pretended to snore a few times.
Chen Qingyin smiled and said, "I heard that if you pull up the hands of a sleeping person, they won't fall down. Let me try to see if it's true."
She picked up Hu Mianmian's little hand, and after letting go, Hu Mianmian raised her hand in the air with her eyes still closed.
Chen Qingyin was having a hard time holding back her laughter.
Hu Mianmian listened to her laughing, with bubbles of doubt in her heart.
Could mother have seen that she was pretending to sleep?
It must be that her acting was not convincing enough!
The little guy raised his other hand on his own initiative, with his chubby little arm stretched straight out.
Now, even Linlang, who had just come in to fetch water, couldn't help laughing when she saw this.
Chen Qingyin picked up her daughter with eyes full of love: "Alright, alright, dear Mianmian, don't be angry. Your father is mean to you because he is a general and doesn't know how to speak tactfully. In the future, mother will help you discipline him, okay?"
Hu Mianmian ignored him, pouted her lips and snorted heavily.
Stupid mother, you are still speaking for him.
You may not know that he is not a strict person at all, and all his gentleness is reserved for his mistress.
Chen Qingyin held Hu Mianmian in her arms: "Mianmian, you must be sleepy. Let mother coax you to sleep."
Then she patted the little guy's body gently, humming a gentle tune.
"Don't cry, don't be afraid, go to sleep quickly, don't panic, you will see the sun and clouds when you wake up."
Her voice was soft and sweet, full of motherly warmth.
In Chen Qingyin's arms, Hu Mianmian gradually calmed down.
Mianmian's biological mother was the queen of the nine-tailed fox clan. Unfortunately, she was exactly 500 years old when she gave birth to her, and she died after giving birth to Mianmian.
She was raised by her tribesmen.
This is also why she must break the curse of the Nine-tailed Fox.
I have never experienced a mother's care, but at this moment, I felt the mother's love.
Hu Mianmian couldn't help but open her big, watery, black eyes and looked at Chen Qingyin obediently.
Just like a soft, chubby little fox, curled up in the most comfortable and safest arms.
Chen Qingyin lowered her head and saw that the little guy had opened his eyes.
She smiled and said, "Mianmian, you haven't slept yet? Then let me wash your face for you, okay? Only after you wash it clean can we sleep well."
Hu Mianmian didn't get angry this time, and nodded obediently: "Okay~"
Linlang handed over a warm handkerchief, and Chen Qingyin picked up Hu Mianmian and wiped her face.
The little fellow saw her face reflected in the basin of water.
She has a soft, white and delicate little face, her skin is as smooth as a baby's, and her facial features are so beautiful that it is no exaggeration to say that she is a little beauty.
Especially those round, bright eyes, because of her arrival, the corners of the eyes are slightly upturned, with the natural charm of the fox clan.
Unfortunately, most of the left side of his face is covered with a rose-red birthmark.
Hu Mianmian couldn't help but stretch out her little hand and gently touch the birthmark on her face.
She was thinking, this shouldn't be difficult to remove?
When Chen Qingyin saw her action, a trace of heartache flashed across her eyes.
She quickly asked Linlang to take the basin away.
"Mianmian, let's not look at it," Chen Qingyin grabbed her daughter's hand and changed her clothes, "This is easy to remove. Mother asked your godmother, Concubine Shu, to get you the best vanishing cream from the palace."
"By then, our Mianmian will be the most beautiful baby. Don't be sad about the birthmark now, okay?" Chen Qingyin said, letting the little one lie down and covering her with a quilt.
Hu Mianmian's voice was soft and cute: "I'm not sad, mother, I am the most beautiful."
Chen Qingyin heard her daughter's proud little tone and chuckled.
She patted the little guy's body and hummed the song again.
Hu Mianmian closed her eyes.
She just realized that there was no mirror in Chen Qingyin's room.
Maybe he was afraid that Hu Mianmian would see his birthmark and be sad.
A mother who jealously guards her daughter's innocence, unaware that her real daughter has been murdered.
Hu Mianmian listened to the gentle melody and decided that no matter what kind of confused beauty Chen Qingyin was, she would help her to the end!
Be the daughter she can rely on!
*
For several days, Hu Yunshen did not return home.
Three days later, the Hu family planned to open an ancestral hall and adopted Rong'er as Mr. Hu's son and recorded him in the family tree.
Hu Yunshen just came back.
Chen Qingyin brought Hu Mianmian to the event.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Hu Yunshen talking to the clan leader in high spirits.
Chen Qingyin saw that he was wearing a brocade robe today, one she had never seen before, and the collar was embroidered with intricate and gorgeous patterns.
"Husband." She walked over.
When Hu Yunshen saw her and Hu Mianmian, his smile suddenly faded.
"You are here." He put on that majestic attitude again and treated his wife and daughter.
Chen Qingyin couldn't help but ask: "Have you been in the army these days?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. This dress looks brand new, and the pattern on the collar is nice. Which embroidery shop made it?"
After Chen Qingyin asked, Hu Yunshen's expression froze.
