Chapter 25: Like the Music of Heaven

Chen Qingyin felt very uncomfortable.

Liang Yunyan plucked the strings of the zither, and the beautiful melody was crisp and melodious, like a clear spring in the mountains, gurgling, or like the singing of birds in the forest, gentle and pleasant to the ear.

The guests couldn't help but whisper to each other and nod in praise.

Chen Qingyin looked at Hu Yunshen who was sitting at the men's table.

Although his expression was normal, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was looking at Liang Yunyan intently.

Chen Qingyin felt as if something was stabbing her heart.

Even if she didn't want to think too much, she couldn't help but feel that her husband was too good to Mrs. Liang.

Chen Qingyin could understand that he gave all the good things to Liang Yunyan and stood up for her.

But what she couldn't understand was how Hu Yunshen could give the Guzheng, which symbolized their loving and happy relationship, to someone else?

At this time, Hu Yunshen took the initiative to walk to Chen Qingyin, bent down and whispered to her.

"When Madam Liang finishes playing this song, you lead the applause and give her some face."

Hu Mianmian heard it in Chen Qingyin's arms and kicked her feet unhappily.

What a scumbag dad, he even wants his mother to praise his mistress in public to build momentum for her?

Chen Qingyin frowned calmly: "Husband, I want to ask you, why did you give her the guzheng I gave you? Have you forgotten what this guzheng represents?"

Hu Yunshen was stunned.

How could he remember so much?

He just picked out the best guzheng from the warehouse for Liang Yunyan.

When Chen Qingyin asked, he remembered that this guzheng seemed to represent the love and loyalty between husband and wife!

Hu Yunshen's eyes flashed with guilt for a moment.

He quickly responded: "Of course I remember, but it's just a zither, Qingyin, you are not a stingy person, you have heard Madam Liang's zither skills, I gave her a good zither, are you reluctant to give it up?"

"You gave it to her?" Chen Qingyin's beautiful face was a little surprised. "That zither belonged to the king and his wife of Shu during the Warring States Period. I finally asked my second brother to spend a lot of money to buy it back. It has a special meaning. How could you give it to her!"

There were guests all around, and there were also many female guests sitting at Chen Qingyin's table.

One of them is the most distinguished guest today—the wife of Marquis Jinyang.

She had no friendship with Hu Lan. She came to Hu's house because she had a good relationship with Chen Qingyin, and she came to visit her friend under the pretext of attending the banquet.

Hu Yunshen cared most about his reputation and was afraid that others would hear their quarrel.

He kept smiling faintly, but his voice came out from between his teeth: "Stop making trouble here, okay?"

Hu Mianmian was very angry.

You stinky scum dad, you don't explain yourself, but you have the nerve to say that mom is making trouble?

She continued to tap her feet, and the wife of the Marquis of Jinyang, who had been paying attention to the couple, took the initiative to ask.

"Qingyin, is Mianmian hungry? Do you want me to hold you for a while?"

Before Chen Qingyin could speak, Hu Yunshen quickly turned around, stood in front of Chen Qingyin, and bowed slightly to the wife of Marquis Jinyang.

"Madam Hou is too polite. Mianmian just ate and is not hungry."

The wife of Marquis Jinyang looked indifferent: "Is she full? The banquet hasn't even started yet, what can she eat?"

Hu Yunshen paused, and actually forgot about it, just thinking of finding excuses to cover it up.

At this moment, the guests applauded. It turned out that Liang Yunyan had finished her song.

Hu Lan took the lead in standing up and applauding: "It is indeed the palace music "Spring Courtyard Fragrance", the melody is beautiful and elegant, it is simply heavenly music!"

The guests were pleasantly surprised.

"What? It's actually palace music? No wonder, it's like listening to heavenly music and my ears are suddenly clear!"

"I have never even been to the palace, but I can hear the music there. I really benefit from Miss Hu Er's help."

"Isn't it? I actually heard the same piece of music as the emperor. I can brag about it for the rest of my life when I go back!"

Hu Lan was complacent and felt even more proud.

Liang Yunyan felt that no one mentioned her, but instead everyone was paying attention to Hu Lan.

She frowned slightly and looked at Chen Qingyin.

"Speaking of which, no matter how good a piece of music is, it is useless without a good zither to go with it. I would like to thank the Madam for agreeing to let the general lend me 'Gong Bai Tou'. It is indeed a famous zither, and it sounds different when played."

Chen Qingyin's eyes turned cold in an instant.

Since Liang Yunyan knew the significance of this zither, how could she still accept it?

Hu Mianmian clenched her little fists.

This Liang Yunyan, actually dared to protest in public?

Hu Yunshen obviously did not expect Liang Yunyan to say it in public, he immediately said: "Okay, everyone should be hungry, housekeeper, ask the kitchen to serve the meal."

The wife of Marquis Jinyang was somewhat unhappy.

"Wait." She stopped him and looked at Liang Yunyan with a scrutinizing gaze. "Speaking of playing the zither, who doesn't know that before Madam Hu got married, she was known as 'the first zither master in the capital'?"

The wife of the Marquis of Jinyang said in an inexplicable tone: "The zither should be played by its owner to produce truly beautiful music. If you lend it to others, it will only become a decadent sound."

Liang Yunyan's expression suddenly became a little stiff.

She didn't expect that the wife of Marquis Jinyang would speak so harshly.

Saying that she played the music of the decadent type, wouldn't that be mocking her in public for being weak and decadent, not as good as Chen Qingyin? It

was really ridiculous. She had been with Hu Yunshen for so many years, and she heard that Chen Qingyin had long lost her ability to do anything, and devoted all her energy to raising that ugly child.

Liang Yunyan pursed her lips and said, "Really? I have never had the honor of listening to the music of the First Madam. Why not, during the Second Miss's birthday party, ask the First Madam to play a song for me?"

Chen Qingyin has never been the type to seek the limelight.

But Hu Mianmian tugged at her sleeve with her little hand: "Mom, go play the guitar."

Let Liang Yunyan and her scumbag father know what true heavenly music is.

Since her daughter wanted to listen, Chen Qingyin stopped being shy.

"Okay, then mother will play a song for Mianmian."

She handed the little one to the wife of Marquis Jinyang to hold, and sat down on the piano platform herself.

Liang Ruosheng was watching anxiously from the side.

Because Liang Yunyan didn't know Chen Qingyin's strength, but she did know it!

In her previous life, she had heard Chen Qingyin teach Concubine Shu to play the piano in person in the palace. Chen Qingyin's piano skills were superb, and Liang Yunyan's level was simply incomparable.

If Chen Qingyin really plays it, Liang Yunyan will only be slapping herself in the face!

Liang Ruosheng turned her eyes, she was closest to the guzheng.

So, she made up her mind and pretended to step down from the piano platform, but she accidentally fell and hit the guzheng hard.

"Ah——!" She screamed and Guzheng fell to the ground.

The guzheng "Gong Bai Tou" has a history of three hundred years. It will definitely break if it falls!

Hu Mianmian acted in time, and two invisible golden lights flew over and directly landed under the guzheng.

Liang Yunyan hurried over and helped Liang Ruosheng up.

"Ruosheng, are you okay?"

Liang Ruosheng shook his head and pretended to be pitiful: "I'm fine, I just knocked the guzheng down, it won't be broken, right?"

Linlang immediately stepped forward and helped Chen Qingyin pick up the guzheng.

The snicker that Liang Ruosheng had been suppressing in his eyes disappeared without a trace after he saw the intact guzheng.

She was dumbfounded.

This zither fell off the shelf, but nothing happened?

Hu Mianmian hummed in a baby voice.

You want to fight me? Eat your ass!
