Chapter 71: Mother's belongings destroyed

Chen Hanjing frowned, "What's wrong? Originally, I didn't agree with Hu Yunshen's marriage. When my sister was still in her boudoir, there were so many people pursuing her, but among so many people, I only thought that Ning Guanzhou could be our brother-in-law."

Chen Hanmo exudes a sense of oppression that comes from being in a high position of power.

He glanced at the silent Chen Qingyin, and then said, "Don't mention the past anymore. No matter who she chooses, it's her own decision."

Prime Minister Chen pursed his lips and said nothing, looking extremely majestic.

If he hadn't been holding Hu Mianmian in his arms, with his usual temper, he would have definitely scolded his two sons.

Tang Yinqiu tried to smooth things over: "No matter who Qingyin chooses, she is still the daughter of the Chen family. Qingyin, we are your solid support and backing. If you are wronged in the future, just come back to your parents' home."

Chen Qingyin raised her eyes slightly and said, "No matter who I marry, it's the path I choose myself, so don't worry about me."

Prime Minister Chen finally spoke at this time.

"Okay, don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping. Just say less."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at Hu Mianmian with a smile. The little guy was gnawing on the chicken feet attentively.

It was as if he wasn't paying attention to what they were saying.

Prime Minister Chen laughed and said, "You guys are not as sensible as Mianmian."

Hu Mianmian snorted in her heart.

It's not that she doesn't care about what they say, but she knows that what they say is nonsense!

What's the point of arguing anymore? Mother has already married Hu Yunshen, and this is a fact that cannot be changed.

Instead, Tang Yinqiu kept mentioning her mother's home, as if she was always reminding Chen Qingyin that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled.

Look, it made her mother Chen Qingyin feel a little uncomfortable. In her mind, Hu Mianmian drew a big cross for Tang Yinqiu.

After lunch.

Prime Minister Chen has important government affairs to discuss with Chen Hanmo and Chen Hanjing alone.

"Qingyin, now that you're back, you can stay here for a while. I've asked your mother to clean up your yard for you. You can take Mianmian and have a good rest."

Prime Minister Chen looked at Chen Qingyin. Although his tone was stern, his eyes were full of a father's tolerance towards his daughter.

No matter how they quarreled, Chen Qingyin was always his most beloved daughter.

Chen Qingyin nodded slightly, took Hu Mianmian and left.

Tang Yinqiu was also tired, so she did not follow them. Instead, she arranged for Chen's eldest sister-in-law to accompany Chen Qingyin back to the yard.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family smiled all the way: "After you got married, your father-in-law asked us to take good care of the yard for you. The maids went in to clean it every day. Your favorite dressing mirror was also kept for you."

As they were talking, they had already reached the outside of the yard.

Chen Qingyin stood in front of her boudoir again and couldn't help but fall into a daze.

This is her first time back after being married for three years.

She had spent fifteen years of her life here in the boudoir, experiencing the grief of losing her mother and countless days and nights of growth.

Chen Qingyin lowered her head and said to Hu Mianmian gently, "Mianmian, come, I'll take you to see where your mother lived when she was a child."

"Okay!" Hu Mianmian smiled sweetly.

Chen Qingyin's courtyard is filled with cool shade trees and flowers.

This is because Prime Minister Chen knew that his daughter loved flowers and trees, so he would hire a group of gardeners every year to take care of the plants and trees in her yard.

Chen Qingyin took Hu Mianmian inside and introduced them one by one.

"See that sycamore tree? When mom was little, she loved playing hide-and-seek with her brothers behind the tree."

"There is a short-necked tree over there. When I was a kid, I made a mistake and was punished by my father to be grounded. Your second uncle took mother and climbed the tree and climbed out of the wall."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family covered her mouth and chuckled: "My little sister was very naughty and clever at that time. I heard from my husband that he and my second brother would often chase her from behind, and my little sister would climb up the tree in the blink of an eye."

Chen Qingyin also chuckled.

She pulled Hu Mianmian and walked to the place closest to the courtyard.

Suddenly, Chen Qingyin was stunned and pointed at the half-person-high porcelain water tank placed in front of him.

"How did this thing get here? I remember there was a loquat tree planted here."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family was stunned for a moment, then remembered.

"The last time Luhua brought Yao'er back to visit her parents, Yao'er was playing with fireworks and accidentally set the loquat tree on fire. It soon burned up, and after that, my father-in-law had the loquat tree removed."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Mianmian noticed that the hand Chen Qingyin was holding hers was shaking violently.

"Mother..." Hu Mianmian looked up at her worriedly.

Chen Qingyin's lips trembled slightly with anger: "That's the tree my mother planted when she was alive! She planted it for me!"

As she spoke, she turned around and handed Hu Mianmian to Linlang. She was furious and wanted to go find Prime Minister Chen to argue.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family's face changed, and she stepped forward quickly: "Little sister, calm down. If you didn't tell me, even I would have forgotten that Yao'er definitely didn't do it on purpose. When she burned the tree, my father-in-law gave her a severe lesson."

Chen Qingyin's tone was filled with great anger: "My yard is full of trees, and she came in to play with fireworks. Why are all the other trees fine, but only the loquats that my mother planted for me were burned!"

She immediately thought of Su Yaoer's mother Chen Luhua.

Back then, when Chen Luhua was young, she wanted to pick some fruit from a loquat tree, but Chen Qingyin grabbed one and pulled it down.

The two quarreled endlessly.

Chen Qingyin told her at that time: "This is what my mother planted for me. I don't allow anyone else to touch it."

Chen Luhua was furious and threatened: "What a broken tree! Sooner or later, I will burn it down. Do you believe it?"

"you dare!"

The voices of past arguments are still ringing in my ears.

Chen Qingyin closed her eyes, her heart filled with anger.

When she was not at home, her father tolerated her stepmother's daughter to make such a mistake?

Even if he had told her to take away the burned trees, she would not be so angry!

Chen Qingyin walked towards the prime minister's yard with a menacing look.

At this moment, Prime Minister Chen came over with Chen Hanmo and Chen Hanjing.

Prime Minister Chen said with a smile: "I will miss Mianmian if I don't see her for a while. Mianmian, grandpa will pick you up. Can you go to play in grandpa's study?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked closer and saw the anger in his daughter Chen Qingyin's eyes.

The smile on Prime Minister Chen's face paused, and he glanced at the people around him with suspicion.

"Qingyin, what's wrong with you?"

"The loquat tree my mother planted for me was burned down. Why didn't anyone tell me?" Chen Qingyin asked straight to the point.

Prime Minister Chen was stunned and remembered this incident.

"You're already married, and besides, it's just a tree."

"This was planted for me the year my mother passed away!" Chen Qingyin couldn't control her tears, her hands clenched into fists, and her voice was shaking with anger.

Seeing her crying, Chen Hanjing stepped forward immediately and said, "Don't be angry, sister. Father was also very angry at that time, but Yao'er was careless."

He stretched out his hand and wanted to wipe away Chen Qingyin's tears, but Chen Qingyin waved his hand away.
