Chapter 12 Farewell to the hot potato

The next day, Shen Qinglan arrived early in the morning at Jingyao Courtyard where her mother lived.

"Auntie, why did you just get up? The flowers my daughter waited for have all withered."

Shen Qinglan's mother, Yu Yinghui, walked out of the inner room with the support of two maids and walked straight towards the dressing table.

"You damn girl, there's nothing good you can do if you come here so early in the morning. Tell me, what's the matter? Your father will be coming over for breakfast soon."

Seeing her mother's unhappy expression, Shen Qinglan said timidly: "Did father stay at Aunt Han's place again last night?"

Every time his father Shen Zhang stayed with his aunt, he would come to have dinner with his mother the next day, fearing that he would spoil his concubine and destroy his wife. This was not the case when he stayed alone.

Yu Yinghui threw away the facekerchief in her hand and said angrily: "That bitch's daughter has done such a thing! Your father is still so protective of her! Your grandmother wanted to send her to the village, but your father stopped her. Come down and be fined only half a year's worth of monthly silver!"

Yu Yinghui said, picked up the comb again, and while combing her hair, she accused Han and her daughter.

"Everyone in the world is asking, how can any concubine get together with her brother-in-law! Now it's good, you lost your husband's family, and let Shen Qingzhi get a big advantage, your father is even more heartless! My own biological daughter After suffering such great injustice, you actually let those two bitches show off their power in this house!"

The more her mother talked, the angrier she became, and Shen Qinglan couldn't interrupt, so she could only listen quietly.

"Why are you here so early in the morning?"

Shen Qinglan glanced at her mother, who then ordered her servants to leave, leaving only Mother Yao.

Mother Yao is her mother’s dowry and her confidant.

Shen Qinglan came to the dressing table and whispered: "Aniang, sister Qingzhi came to me some time ago and said that she was afraid that the dowry would not be enough and she would be wronged by the Meng family, so my daughter agreed to share her dowry with her."

"What?"

Yu Yinghui's eyes widened. She already had big eyes, and she looked a little ferocious at this moment.

"You bastard!"

With that said, he started to strangle Shen Qinglan.

"Madam! Madam, please listen to what the young lady has to say!"

Yao's mother hurriedly stopped her and smiled meaningfully at her.

"What's going on? You...what do you mean?"

Although Yu Yinghui has a bit of a bad temper, she is indeed a smart person who knows everything. These two people are obviously hiding something from her.

Shen Qinglan hurriedly explained, and Yu Yinghui instantly beamed, "Wow! I finally got out my bad breath. You are such a good daughter for my mother! But... so, Mother Yao already knew it?"

Mother Yao smiled and said, "It's not because I'm afraid that Madam won't be able to keep her temper. The more resentful and grievance you show during this period, the more relieved Han and her daughter will be."

Yu Yinghui breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "You guys underestimate me too much! Then Han can do drama, why can't I?"

Shen Qinglan smiled and hugged her mother's arm and said: "Mom, I'm coming over to my eldest aunt's Zhuangzi store. They all have a lot of debts. You can also collect them for your daughter."

"Your aunt is coming too? Will your aunt..." Yu Yinghui was a little worried.

"No, my daughter only told my aunt that she should learn to take care of these things. She didn't say anything else. And the eldest aunt knows it well and will definitely not tell anyone about it." Shen Qinglan said.

"Okay, come on, mother Yao, the master will be here soon. You can let Qinglan take those few villages and shops that I don't bother to pay attention to when they usually have activities!"

"Yeah, thank you, grandma."

-

Shen Qinglan and Shen Qingzhi made an appointment to meet in front of the government department. They thought they had left early enough, but they didn't expect Shen Qingzhi's carriage to be waiting here.

It’s really impatient!

Because Yan'er suffered a whip injury, Shen Qinglan brought another girl from his courtyard, Min'er.

When Min'er helped Shen Qinglan get out of the car, Shen Qingzhi also quickly came to her and helped her get out of the car.

"Sister, why are you here so early? My sister was in poor health some time ago. She should rest more."

Shen Qinglan held a handkerchief and pretended to cough twice, and said, "It's not good to ask my sister to wait any longer."

"Sister knows that I feel sorry for my sister, but I must also pay attention to my health. If I come out so early, I might catch the cold."

"It doesn't matter."

Shen Qingzhi held Shen Qinglan's hand and suddenly shed tears, "I know that my sister is the only one who loves me the most in the house. I don't despise my sister for being a concubine. I never treat Qingzhi as an outsider."

"Okay, okay, you are my sister. How can I not feel sorry for you? If there is anything unsatisfactory after you get married, just tell your sister and she will definitely help if she can."

After Shen Qinglan said this, Min'er on the side was unhappy.

"Second young lady, please stop crying, our young lady hasn't cried yet! It's very windy here, and our young lady is weak, so we'd better hurry up!"

Shen Qinglan coughed again. Shen Qingzhi wiped her tears and quickly helped her through the door.

-

After finishing handing over the property and shop, Shen Qinglan pinched herself hard when she came out, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Sister!" She turned back and took Shen Qingzhi's hand and said, "Sister and Mr. Meng must bring the case together so that sister can feel at ease."

It's best for you, a couple of bitches, to stay together for eternity and not to cause harm to others!

"Sister will do it."

Shen Qingzhi's eyes also turned red, but she didn't pinch herself secretly. Such superb acting skills were truly invincible!

"My sister is getting married tomorrow, so it's better to go back home early to prepare."

"Sister, also have a good rest."

Shen Qinglan let go of her hand and watched her get into the carriage.

When she got in the car, Shen Qingzhi could no longer hold back the smile on her face.

In that smile, there was five points of happiness and five points of pride.

Shen Qinglan's smile almost failed to stop her, she finally gave away so many hot potatoes.

"Miss, I really don't understand why you are so nice to the second lady! She pretends to be pitiful and begging for things from you all day long, and even robbed your fiancé!" Min'er asked.

Shen Qinglan sighed, "She is my sister after all! How could I ignore her?"

"Miss is really kind-hearted. Miss, do we want to go back home now?"

"If you're not going back, go to Shuibilou and buy some new tea and refreshments."

Shuibilou is the most famous teahouse in Luoping, and its refreshments are one of the best in the world. A box of them is often hard to find. It is definitely possible to buy it now that it is so early.

In the memory of the original owner, she and Mu Xingze both liked to eat Shuibilou's hibiscus cake when they were children. Because she was more domineering when she was a child, Mu Xingze didn't even get a few pieces, and Shen Qinglan even made her cry.

-

Shen Qinglan came to Shuibilou for the first time since time travel. Unexpectedly, the place was even more exquisite and beautiful than the original owner remembered. His shop assistants were not like ordinary waiters, but they were all somewhat popular. No wonder the business here was so booming.

.

"Girl, please wait here for a moment."

Shen Qinglan looked at the clerk. His clothes had the word "Yunyan" embroidered on them, which should be his name here.
