Chapter 72 Old White Lotus

Seeing this, Chen Hanmo frowned and said, "Little sister, stop making trouble. It's not necessary for a tree."

"Make trouble? Not really?" Chen Qingyin sneered.

She looked at Prime Minister Chen: "Father, my brothers don't know, but you won't forget, right? You were there when mother planted this tree for me."

"My mother once said that she would not live long, but she asked me not to be sad because she would become the loquat tree in front of my yard and accompany me as I grow older."

"This tree has been with me for twelve years, until I got married. I watered it with my own hands, weeded it, and when I felt wronged, I loved to climb up its trunk to look at the scenery in the distance."

"Father, have you forgotten? In my eyes, this tree is not just a tree, but also a thought left to me by my mother. I can't take it with me because I got married. But I didn't expect that its end would be burned!?"

Prime Minister Chen looked gloomy.

His face was tense, and after a long while, he said, "It's my fault for not being able to take good care of it. How about this, I'll ask the gardener to plant a whole yard of loquat trees for you, okay?"

"What's the use of having more trees? My mother will never come back, and the trees she planted with her own hands will never come back!" Chen Qingyin cried sadly.

Tang Yinqiu rushed over after hearing the news, looking anxious.

"How could you and your daughter quarrel like this? There is no such thing as an overnight grudge between biological father and daughter. The loquat tree was burned down. It was Yao'er's fault. As her grandmother, I am here to personally apologize to you."

As she was about to lift her skirt and kneel down, she said, "Qingyin, calm down. Don't be angry with your father anymore. His health has been getting worse recently."

Seeing that Tang Yinqiu was about to kneel, Chen Hanmo and Chen Hanjing hurried forward to support her.

Seeing them defending her, Chen Qingyin let out a bitter smile.

"Father, I understand. You have indeed forgotten how important this loquat tree is to me. Otherwise, you would not have remarried one year after my mother passed away."

"This house has long had no room for my mother's things, and I, the only one who remembers her, have become redundant."

As soon as these words came out, her eldest brother and second brother reminded at the same time: "Little sister!"

Prime Minister Chen's dark eyes were filled with suppressed anger.

He looked at Chen Qingyin: "You..."

Chen Qingyin didn't look at him, but turned to look at Chen Hanmo and Chen Hanjing.

"Big brother, second brother, father can find a new love, but what about you? Is mother so insignificant in your hearts?"

"If this is my home, why can't I feel the atmosphere of home everywhere after I came back? The screen wall that my mother liked has been replaced, and the flower vines in the corridor that she picked with her own hands have also been picked."

"I don't mind these things, but I kept everything in my yard," she said with a self-deprecating smile, "I kept the unimportant things, but the precious memories my mother left me are gone. Do you also think it doesn't matter at all?"

"Are you my brother or Chen Luhua's brother?" Chen Qingyin's question made Chen Hanmo and Chen Hanjing shudder.

Tang Yinqiu wiped her tears: "Qingyin, don't be angry, it's all my fault. I was the one who asked to remove those things, but I definitely didn't mean to offend Madam Yuan. I, I will ask someone to find and buy the same ones to compensate you, okay?"

Chen Qingyin looked at her with tears in her eyes: "What's the use of having the same things? My mother can't come back. These things she hasn't touched are just dead objects."

Prime Minister Chen could no longer bear it: "Chen Qingyin! Are you done yet? You don't agree with this, and you're not satisfied with that. What do you want me to do to be a qualified father in your eyes?"

"To be honest, I'm very happy that you're back this time. I don't want to see you being wronged outside, but you can't be so ignorant. Are you going to turn the house upside down just for a tree?"

Hu Mianmian simply shook off Linlang's hand, opened her arms, and protected her mother.

"You are not allowed to talk about mother!" She glared at Prime Minister Chen angrily.

Everyone present was stunned.

Prime Minister Chen looked at Hu Mianmian and seemed quite sad.

A sneer flashed across Tang Yinqiu's eyes.

Hu Mianmian glared at her. What a bad girl! She did it on purpose.

Just when the little girl was about to use magic to make her speak her mind, she was suddenly picked up by Chen Qingyin.

Eh? Mother? Eh hey hey? Why are you leaving?

"I'm not staying here anymore. Thank you for hosting us. Linlang, go pack our things."

After saying that, Chen Qingyin hugged Hu Mianmian and left quickly.

Hu Mianmian's baby voice revealed her unwillingness: "Mom, go back!"

Let her teach that Tang Yinqiu a lesson!

Chen Qingyin did not answer, but suddenly a few hot tears fell on Hu Mianmian's forehead.

The little guy was startled and looked up.

Although my mother tried to hold back her tears, she continued to shed tears of grievance.

In an instant, the anger in Hu Mianmian's heart disappeared, and was replaced by silent heartache.

My mother is so miserable...

Her father married a new wife, and her two brothers did not support her.

In addition, she did not marry a good man, so it can be said that she got neither family affection nor love.

Chen Qingyin carried Hu Mianmian into the carriage.

Linlang quickly chased after him.

She looked embarrassed and said, "Madam, the master seems to be angry too. He said that if the things cannot be taken, then there is no need to take them. When you need them another day, he will send someone to deliver them to the Hu Mansion. I took the young lady's and your spare clothes."

Chen Qingyin wiped the tears from her face and tried to keep her voice steady.

"That's fine. I can't go back to the Hu family now, and it's troublesome to carry those things with me. Get in the car, and let's go."

Linlang responded, and just as she was about to get in the car, she suddenly said, "Greetings, sir."

The next second, a powerful hand lifted the curtain, and the cold and calm face of Chen Qingyin's elder brother Chen Hanmo was revealed.

Hu Mianmian was furious. It was him who just now did not stand on his mother's side.

The little guy raised his little feet, which had just taken off his shoes, and was about to step on his face.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qingyin hugged her, preventing Hu Mianmian from succeeding.

"Little sister, come down and let's talk."

"There's nothing more to say. Don't worry, brother. I won't disturb you guys again during your peaceful days."

Chen Hanmo's face darkened: "Come down."

"I won't." Chen Qingyin was extremely stubborn.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hanmo bent down and entered the carriage, grabbed Chen Qingyin's arm with his powerful hand, and pulled her down directly.

Chen Qingyin exclaimed twice and handed Hu Mianmian to Linlang to hold.

Hu Mianmian quickly used her head to push open the car curtain, and her rolling black eyes stared at Chen Hanmo and Chen Qingyin.

If Chen Hanmo dared to bully her mother, Hu Mianmian would grab a bolt of lightning and strike him away.

Chen Hanmo held Chen Qingyin's arm tightly, and she couldn't get rid of it.

"Brother, what do you want to say? If you want to scold me, then you don't have to speak."

"I don't want to scold you. I just want to tell you that when Mother's tree was destroyed, my second brother and I were not at home. My second brother was fighting outside, and I was in the palace. By the time we knew about it, it was too late..."
