Chapter 17 You Go Kneel in the Ancestral Hall

Chen Qingyin didn't say anything.

She is usually gentle and easy to talk to, but that doesn't mean she has no temper.

Her daughter Hu Mianmian is her bottom line.

Rong'er, who had just returned home, kept saying that he was the legitimate son in order to bully Hu Mianmian.

If Chen Qingyin forgave him easily, she would be helping others to bully her daughter.

Seeing that Chen Qingyin didn't speak, Hu Yunshen pursed his thin lips.

Madam Hu: "Qingyin, what if you help to keep it a secret? If we don't tell him, will the emperor still ask?"

Chen Qingyin held Hu Mianmian in her arms and used her hands to tidy up the little guy's hair.

"The Emperor probably won't ask, but my father will definitely ask. When the time comes, I can't let Mianmian lie, right?"

The faces of the Hu family members changed.

Hu Yunshen secretly clenched his fists, as if he had made some kind of decision.

He turned around and scolded Rong'er: "You have committed such a serious mistake. You should kneel in the ancestral hall for an hour and reflect on your mistakes!"

"What?" Both Mrs. Hu and Mr. Hu were shocked.

Liang Yunyan, who was outside the door, was even more shocked when she heard this.

Her child was so young, and his mouth was injured, and he had to kneel in the ancestral hall?

Liang Yunyan couldn't control her trembling heart and rushed in to plead for mercy.

He had only taken two steps when Nanny Gao suddenly appeared and grabbed his arm.

"Mrs. Liang, you can't go in!" Grandma Gao was strong and sturdy, and she pulled Liang Yunyan away.

Inside the hall, Hu Yunshen turned to look at Chen Qingyin.

"Qingyin, do you think this solution is good?"

Chen Qingyin frowned slightly. She was easily soft-hearted. Rong'er was still so young. Would he get sick if he knelt for an hour?

"Mother~" Hu Mianmian in her arms spoke, and the little guy leaned his head against her arms.

It looks so small, so pitiful.

In an instant, Chen Qingyin made up her mind.

When she was not at home, Rong'er dared to bully her daughter by relying on his status as a man.

If I don't teach her a severe lesson, I don't know how they will bully Mianmian in the future!

"Kneeling in the ancestral hall is a good suggestion, but Rong'er must also understand where he went wrong, otherwise kneeling for any length of time will be useless."

Madam Hu slammed the table: "Chen Qingyin, don't go too far!"

Chen Qingyin's face was cold and she remained unmoved.

Hu Yunshen winked at Old Madam Hu, who gritted her teeth and sat down again.

Hu Yunshen walked up to Rong'er and said, "Rong'er, go and apologize to the lady."

Rong'er looked at Old Madam Hu and then at Old Master Hu with tearful and timid eyes.

The two old men turned their heads away helplessly from him.

Rong'er cried sadly, thinking that his mother had lied to him, saying that everyone's things would be given to him, but he snatched them and got beaten instead, and no one cared about him!

"Madam, I'm sorry, Mianmian, I'm sorry." Rong'er walked in front of Chen Qingyin, sobbing and aggrieved.

Hu Mianmian snorted.

Chen Qingyin didn't want to embarrass the child anymore.

"Forget it, husband. I'll take Mianmian back to my room. I'll leave Rong'er's matter to you." With that, Chen Qingyin took Hu Mianmian away.

After she left, Old Madam Hu pointed at Hu Yunshen's nose and scolded him.

"Yun Shen, you are so foolish. You have all the military merits and abilities, but this daughter-in-law has taken control of you. If you don't set the rules, she will rely on her family's power to bully us!"

Old Madam Hu picked up Rong'er and left. No matter how angry she was, she could only kneel in the ancestral hall for a while to show her respect.

When Mr. Hu passed by Hu Yunshen, he also sighed.

"After Chen Qingyin learned that the Prime Minister still recognized her as his daughter, I think she will no longer take you seriously. You must use some tricks to discipline her."

Hu Yunshen frowned: "What does father mean?"

"In the past, in the village, if a woman didn't obey, she would be beaten! Once she marries you, she is yours. You have to let her know that you are her heaven and she can't live without you!"

After saying this, Mr. Hu left with his crutches.

Hu Yunshen fell into a long silence.

On the other side, Nanny Gao pulled Liang Yunyan back to her yard.

Liang Yunyan was so angry that she pushed Grandma Gao away.

"Why are you stopping me?"

"Madam Liang, you can't be so confused. The old lady and the general have finally brought the young master back to the mansion. If you go in and make a scene like this, the eldest lady will know everything."

Liang Yunyan said in tears, angrily: "Chen Qingyin is too cruel, Rong'er is so young, she is willing to hurt him!"

Grandma Gao stamped her feet and said, "It's all Grandma An's fault. If I were there today, this would never have happened."

It would have been better if she didn't say anything. As soon as she said it, Liang Yunyan's resentful eyes immediately enveloped her.

"Madam Gao, the old lady asked you to take care of Rong'er personally, but you let him get hurt so badly. You are also guilty!"

Grandma Gao's eyes widened. "Today, I followed the old lady's order to go buy something for the young master. How can you say that, Madam Liang?"

Liang Yunyan wiped her tears with her sleeves and said, "If you don't serve me well, I will report it to the general and ask him to replace you!"

Grandma Gao was completely annoyed. She waved her hand and said, "Mrs. Liang is so arrogant. Go ahead and tell the general!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

In my heart, I cursed Liang Yunyan for being ungrateful.

Originally, Nanny An was severely punished for this matter, and Nanny Gao wanted to show goodwill.

Unexpectedly, Liang Yunyan looked down on her so much and treated her like a servant.

at night.

Linlang came in to report.

"Madam, I heard that Madam An was beaten with thirty boards by the general and was transferred away from Master Rong'er."

"Besides, Young Master Rong'er didn't even kneel for an hour before the old lady took him away. She was very distressed."

Chen Qingyin was playing with a cloth tiger with Hu Mianmian. Upon hearing this, she hummed lightly.

"I can guess that since the old lady is protecting this child like that, she will definitely not let him kneel all the time."

She picked up the little guy and said, "Mianmian, are you scared today? From now on, mother will never leave your side, okay?"

Hu Mianmian raised her big round black eyes and said, "Mom, I'm not afraid at all. He deserves it!"

Chen Qingyin didn't expect her daughter to be so open-minded and couldn't help but smile.

Hu Mianmian muttered, "What a pity for my milk bottle!"

What should I use to drink milk tomorrow? Hu Hu was worried!

Chen Qingyin smiled and said, "It will be your godmother, Concubine Shu's birthday banquet soon. Your mother will take you to the palace. She has many treasures in her palace, not just one glass bottle. When the time comes, ask her to give it to you, okay?"

Hu Mianmian nodded immediately and agreed obediently: "Okay!"

When talking about Concubine Shu, Chen Qingyin recalled that she had asked someone to bring a letter to the palace and asked Concubine Shu for some vanishing cream.

Why hasn't it been delivered yet?

This is not like Concubine Shu's style. She hasn't communicated with Chen Qingyin for almost two months.

Chen Qingyin looked at the birthmark on her daughter's face. Although it was ugly in the eyes of others, she thought it was what made her daughter special.

"Okay, it's getting late, Mommy, please put Mianmian to sleep."

"Okay! It's time to sleep!" The little guy crawled into the quilt by himself.

Linlang turned off the lights and Chen Qingyin gently patted her daughter's body.

The room is quiet, the moonlight is floating, and there are myriad lights and shadows.

After Chen Qingyin fell asleep, Hu Mianmian sat up. Her big black eyes were very bright in the night.

She tiptoed down from the couch, put on her clothes, and walked over Linlang who was sleeping outside the screen.

Went out quietly.
