The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 161 Why bother with a man

It was almost noon when Leng Qingyu arrived at Yunbian Village.

Seeing her tired face, Ye Xinran was shocked.

"How far did you come from, Madam Lu?"

Leng Qingyu did not answer. He walked into the yard with Ye Xinran and then said, "It's not far. It's just that someone was following me. I got rid of him and came here."

"Who's following you?"

Ye Xinran instantly became alert.

Leng Qingyu comforted him, "Don't worry, it's the guards around the Marquis. They said they were sent by the Marquis to protect me."

As she spoke, she took out the jewelry box and pushed it in front of Ye Xinran.

"Open it quickly and take a look. This is the jewelry that Mom bought for you. Do you like all these styles?"

Ye Xinran opened the box and was dazzled by the various and intricately crafted jewellery inside.

"Are these all for me?"

"Of course it's for you. The craftsmanship of the masters here is average. When we return to the capital, I'll ask the masters of Tianyi Pavilion to make you two more sets of headwear. That will be your dowry."

Leng Qingyu said.

Seeing how attentive she was, Ye Xinran didn't know what to say for a moment.

Is this what it feels like to be pampered?

Even if you do nothing, someone still loves you.

She said unnaturally: "These jewels are so beautiful, but I don't usually use them!"

Leng Qingyu held down her hand that was about to push the box back, and begged in a gentle voice, "It's not a valuable thing, just accept it.

If you accept some gifts, I will feel better. "

After saying that, he put the box aside without caring whether Ye Xinran agreed or not.

He then took out a medicine bottle containing "sugar pills" from his arms.

"Actually, I came here today because I wanted you to help me look at this."

Ye Xinran looked at the porcelain bottle, "What's in it?"

Leng Qingyu's eyes darkened, "It's also a kind of medicine, but I don't take it every day."

"Have you been eating it for many years?"

"Yeah!" Leng Qingyu nodded.

For some reason, when Ye Xinran saw the porcelain bottle, she intuitively found what she was looking for.

She reached out and took the porcelain bottle.

Leng Qingyu suddenly hesitated and did not let go.

She was a little flustered.

Seeing Ye Xinran's questioning look, he quickly let go of her hand.

She laughed at her sudden panic.

This is the medicine that the Marquis asked someone to make for him, how could something go wrong?

"Mrs. Lu, I asked my husband to make some tea. Please sit here for a while. I want to go into the house and check the medicine in this bottle."

"it is good!"

Leng Qingyu sat in the yard.

After a while, Xiao Huaian brought out the tea and the two looked at each other in silence.

Xiao Huaian just silently poured her tea and refilled her cup.

Leng Qingyu drank two cups in a row. Seeing that Xiao Huaian was about to pour more, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't pour anymore! I'm full."

"it is good!"

Xiao Huaian stopped.

Turn your attention to the bamboo in your hand.

Leng Qingyu looked over and saw him carving a little man.

"What you did is..."

This was the first time she took the initiative to talk to Xiao Huaian.

Xiao Huaian kept moving and said, "A little gadget for the kids to fix."

"Oh!"

Leng Qingyu nodded.

Then he looked at Xiao Huaian silently.

My son-in-law is quite good-looking.

It's a pity that it looks too deserted.

Just by sitting there, he seemed to emanate a murderous aura.

Leng Qingyu suddenly felt a little worried.

Will he be nice to Xinran?

He looks so fierce, will he attack Xinran?

Xiao Huaian noticed Leng Qingyu's gaze.

He raised his head: "What advice do you have, Madam Lu?"

"No no!"

Leng Qingyu waved his hand quickly.

I thought to myself: The tone of his voice is so harsh!

Will it scare Xinran?

It is said that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.

But Leng Qingyu felt that her son-in-law looked a little scary.

She began to worry about Ye Xinran's future life again.

The two of them sat there awkwardly for a while, and Ye Xinran finally walked out of the room.

Seeing her depressed look, Leng Qingyu's heart immediately tightened.

She supported herself on the stone table with one hand, propped herself up and stood up straight, trying hard to keep a smile on her face.

"Xinran, are the results out?"

Ye Xinran nodded.

Then he said, "I have checked all the medicines that Changqing brought me before, and there is no ingredient of forget-me-not in them. The only thing that contains forget-me-not is the thing in this porcelain bottle that Madam brought me."

Although he was mentally prepared, Leng Qingyu still couldn't hold on when he heard these words, and his body swayed twice.

"Ma'am, be careful!"

Xiao Huaian was quick to reach out and support Mrs. Lu.

Seeing her condition, Ye Xinran couldn't help but ask, "Since Madam brought the medicine to me for examination, she must have some doubts in her heart. Why did she react so strongly?"

Leng Qingyu was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, this is the medicine that the Marquis personally went to Shunyitang to ask for me seven years ago."

"Shunyitang?"

Ye Xinran was also stunned.

I didn't expect that there would be another incident involving Shunyitang.

She hadn’t understood the behavior of the shopkeeper of Shunyitang branch before. Where did such courage come from?

Now she understood a little bit.

It turns out that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beams are crooked.

The head of Shunyitang is not a good person, so it is not surprising that such scum appears under him.

Seeing Ye Xinran's expression, Leng Qingyu asked hurriedly: "Do you know Shunyitang?"

"I know a little bit." Ye Xinran said, "We've had some casual dealings with each other."

Leng Qingyu nodded: "Shunyitang is so famous, it's normal to know it, but I didn't expect that they have such harmful medicine."

"Mrs. Lu."

Ye Xinran interrupted her, "Have you ever had any conflicts with Shunyitang?"

"no!"

"Do you have any business dealings?"

"nor!"

Leng Qingyu looked puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"

"Since we have no dealings and no conflicts, Shunyitang has no reason to harm you!"

"You mean..."

Leng Qingyu's expression suddenly froze.

Ye Xinran: “Mrs. Lu knows what I mean, but she just doesn’t want to face it.

The result is already in front of us. Instead of continuing to avoid it, it is better to face it directly. What do you think, Madam?"

Leng Qingyu's lips trembled slightly. What Ye Xinran said was exactly what she was thinking.

But deep down in her heart, she was unwilling to doubt the Marquis, and even more unwilling to believe that the Marquis would have any intention of harming her.

If this is true, then all her efforts and so-called happiness over the years have become a joke.

She found it difficult to accept this fact.

"Mrs. Lu, I heard that you are good at business."

Ye Xinran said slowly: "Before getting married, I had already started to take charge of most of the Leng family's businesses."

These were all what Leng Qingxin had told her.

Seeing that Leng Qingyu didn't say anything, Ye Xinran continued, "Your ability is already better than most women in the inner courtyard.

You can obviously hold up your own sky, so why do you have to desperately worry about whether a man loves you or not? "
