Chapter 69 Step-grandmother Tang Yinqiu

Tang Yinqiu quickly held the little guy in her arms before Hu Mianmian could speak.

She smiled, full of kindness.

"Mianmian, dear, I am your step-grandmother. If you like, you can call me Grandma Tang."

As he spoke, Tang Yinqiu looked up at Chen Qingyin and said, "Let's call them separately. When you take Mianmian to visit your mother in the future, you won't have to worry about the child being confused about the difference."

Chen Qingyin's eyes became hot, she sniffed and whispered, "Thank you, mother."

No matter how awkward she had been before, she and Tang Yinqiu had always gotten along well.

Hu Mianmian's tone was soft and her attitude was obedient: "Hello, Grandma Tang."

Tang Yinqiu kissed her little face happily: "Good girl, come, let's go inside and talk. It's too cold outside. Don't let us get frozen."

She walked in front, holding the little one's hand.

Hu Mianmian met with Chen Qingyin's second brother and sister-in-law respectively.

The little guy is well-behaved and polite.

"Aunt, uncle, Mianmian is here to see you. I'm sorry to bother you these few days!"

Chen's eldest sister-in-law was amused by her adult-like tone. The slightly plump beauty bent down and touched Hu Mianmian's head.

"Mianmian is so good, we are a family, you are welcome."

The little fellow looked at the two young masters behind his second uncle Chen Hanjing with bright eyes.

One of them was the third young master Chen Dingshi. When he saw Hu Mianmian coming, he was already extremely excited.

Out of courtesy, he did not immediately rush over to hug his sister in his arms.

Instead, he winked at the little guy.

Hu Mianmian looked curiously at the other young master of the Chen family who was standing next to him.

He was obviously much more mature and stable than Chen Dingshi, about fifteen or sixteen years old. He looked at Hu Mianmian, and his dark eyes did not reveal much happiness.

Instead, it seemed like a rule that required me to stand here and greet them.

Chen Dingshi took Hu Mianmian's hand and introduced her: "Mianmian, this is our eldest brother, Chen Dingming."

Hu Mianmian immediately greeted in a soft voice: "Big brother."

Chen Dingming said indifferently: "Yeah."

He is very frugal with words and refuses to say more than one word.

Chen's eldest sister-in-law hurried forward and pulled Hu Mianmian with a smile.

"Your eldest brother is quiet and shy. He just met his younger sister and is not very familiar with her. He is embarrassed to say hello. Mianmian, don't mind. Auntie will take you out to play."

Hu Mianmian didn't really take it to heart, so she nodded obediently.

Her left hand was held by her aunt, and her right hand was held by her second uncle. Chen Dingshi was like a little bee around flowers, telling jokes to Hu Mianmian non-stop.

As for the eldest brother Chen Dingming, he had no extra expression from the beginning. Now he was walking in front of them silently without communicating with them.

Behind him, Chen Qingyin was caring for Tang Yinqiu as usual.

"Is everything ok with mother? Is father okay too? My affairs are giving him a headache."

"No way, you are our daughter, your business is our business. Your father said a few days ago that no matter how the emperor sentences Hu Yunshen, our Chen family will definitely support you."

Tang Yinqiu patted the back of her hand and said, "You should just stay here peacefully this time when you come home. Look at you. You haven't come back much since you got married, and you have lost so much weight."

"It will be noon soon. Your father and your elder brother will be back from the palace. You must eat more. Our family has finally gathered together. You must not be restrained."

Chen Qingyin smiled faintly: "I know, mother, but we are not a family reunion, aren't we missing our fourth sister?"

The fourth sister, Chen Luhua, is the youngest daughter born to Prime Minister Chen after Tang Yinqiu got married. She is three years younger than Chen Qingyin.

Chen Luhua married the eldest princess's son, Prince Yang'an, and lived with the prince in his fiefdom.

It's just that the eldest princess had originally fallen in love with Chen Qingyin, and the Prince of Yang'an also had a good impression of Chen Qingyin.

Later, Chen Qingyin fell into the water and was rescued by Hu Yunshen. The princess then gave up her plan to make Chen Qingyin her daughter-in-law.

In the second year after Chen Qingyin married Hu Yunshen, Chen Luhua married into the Prince's Mansion.

Speaking of the fourth sister, Chen Qingyin has actually been at odds with her since childhood.

One is the legitimate daughter born to the original wife, and the other is the younger daughter born to the second wife. In fact, they are both equally favored.

However, whenever Chen Qingyin and Chen Luhua met, they would quarrel and mock each other.

Now that they have both married, Chen Qingyin's dislike for her fourth sister has faded a little.

Tang Yinqiu waved her hand and said with a smile: "Your sister is married far away and can't come back for the New Year. Even if she is not here, I am happy that you are by our side."

"However, Qingyin, I am still having someone clean up your yard. We can't move in until after noon. I will have the servants move all your things into the yard first. You and Mianmian can rest in my yard. After lunch, you can go back and rest."

Chen Qingyin nodded: "I'll follow my mother's arrangements."

When the adults wanted to talk, the third young master Chen Dingshi couldn't wait to grab Hu Mianmian's little hand.

He took the initiative to run to Chen Qingyin and asked, "Aunt, can I take my sister to play in my yard?"

Chen Qingyin laughed: "Of course."

Chen Dingshi was suddenly overjoyed and ran away pulling Hu Mianmian.

Tang Yinqiu warned loudly: "Shi'er, take good care of Mianmian, don't let her bump into anything!"

Chen Qingyin motioned Linlang to follow.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family looked at Chen Dingming who was sitting quietly reading a book and said, "Ming'er, as the eldest brother, you should play with your younger brothers and sisters. Go ahead. Mom is here talking to your grandmother and aunt. You go and accompany your sister."

Chen Dingming's brows frowned almost imperceptibly.

He looked like he wanted to refuse, but in the end he didn't say anything. He put the book down, bowed slightly, and went to follow Hu Mianmian and the others.

Chen Qingyin withdrew her gaze calmly.

Chen Dingming is the child of her eldest brother. She had a quarrel and broke up with her father, and also had a big fight with her eldest brother.

At that time, Chen Dingming was already eleven or twelve years old, old enough to remember things.

I'm afraid this child is just like his father and hasn't forgiven Chen Qingyin yet.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family noticed the sadness on Chen Qingyin's face and asked the maid to move a stool and sit next to her.

"The child has grown up and is becoming less talkative. He looks just like your eldest brother," said the eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family, and then changed the subject. "Third sister, the Suzhou embroidery on your body is very well made. Which embroidery in the city is it from?"

The adults were chatting animatedly, while Hu Mianmian had been dragged to Chen Dingshi's yard.

Chen Dingshi rummaged through his house as if he was presenting treasures, taking out all the good, valuable, and novel things and showing them to Hu Mianmian.

The little girl looked at them one by one and found that her third brother was like a treasure chest. She was already surprised that he could take out the Tiger Soul last time.

I didn't expect he had so many rare treasures.

"Sister, do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it all to you."

"I like it, but, Third Brother, aren't these your treasures? If you give them all to me, what will you do?"

"Oh no! I'll save some more. I originally thought that these would be for my future wife, but since I like my sister so much, it's okay to give them to you!"

Hu Mianmian was amused and giggled in a baby voice. Her fair face turned soft and pink when she laughed.

At this moment, Chen Dingming, who was standing quietly at the side, suddenly said, "Don't believe what he said. Last time, he almost gave this box of treasures to Su Yaoer."

Su Yaoer was none other than Chen Luhua's daughter, and Hu Mianmian's younger sister.
