In her previous life, the scumbag faked his death at the border. Deceived by others, she believed her feelings for him were profound. She committed suicide at his grave, following him to the afterl...
Chapter 780 Guessed it?
Shen Qingyun rolled his eyes at her and said bluntly, "That's probably because of your uncle. The Changfeng and Changbai brothers are not so cowardly."
When Lu Peilan heard this, she immediately became unhappy.
She coughed lightly, put her hands on her waist and straightened her belly, saying, "Sister-in-law, you must not let Qinghe's father hear this, otherwise, he will be so angry that he won't be able to eat tonight."
After all, the one at home is really useless.
Now it seems that he can make a name for himself outside, and everyone who sees him politely calls him "Manager Yan".
But as soon as he returns to this home, he is still the young boy who would follow his sister-in-law around and ask questions.
A few years ago, his sister-in-law just made a casual joke to him at the dinner table, but he remembered it.
It would have been fine if he didn't sleep himself, but he woke her up and asked her if his sister-in-law really disliked her.
He would not go back to sleep until he got a satisfactory answer from her.
If he heard this, he would probably be so angry that he couldn't sleep all night because his sister-in-law laughed at him in front of Xier and called him the most cowardly of the three brothers.
Shen Qingyun raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: “Why, are you planning to call San’er back to complain?”
She and Yan Changfeng were childhood sweethearts, and their two families had always lived together, so she could be said to have watched her two younger brothers grow up.
Especially Yan Changkun, who has been following her since he was a child, like a little follower that she can't get rid of.
Lu Peilan smiled and said, "Look at what my sister-in-law said. How dare I gossip in his ear?
If you piss someone off, you'll have to pack up and go find Qinghe tomorrow, and I won't be able to complain."
“He dares!” Shen Qingyun snorted lightly, as if she had just seen Song Yanxi, and raised her eyebrows and said, “Oh, isn’t this the busy Princess Yong’an?
Why, when the sun is rising from the west, would you bother to come?"
Song Yanxi stepped forward quickly and pretended to kowtow to her.
Shen Qingyun's movements were even faster, and when her knees were about to touch the ground, he picked her up.
Her face was filled with anger, "You kid, who taught you to kneel down when you disagree with something?
Get out of here, and don't tell me you're a child of the Yan family. I can't afford to lose face like that."
Lu Peilan also said: "Xi'er, your aunt is just annoyed that you didn't go home after returning to Beijing, she is not really angry with you.
Come on, come and sit down so we can take a good look at you."
Women are prone to sadness during pregnancy, and this was especially true for Lu Peilan during her pregnancy.
As soon as she took Song Yanxi's hand, her eyes were red. "Xi'er, you've become darker and thinner. You must have not eaten or slept well during this journey."
As she spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Song Yanxi quickly took up a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and explained in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, little aunt, I ate and slept all the way in the carriage, and I gained a lot of weight when we arrived."
Lu Peilan sniffed, glared at her and said, "Do you think your aunt is a fool? Whether she has lost weight or gained weight, I can still tell with my eyes."
She turned to look at Yan Qing and said with resentment, "Sister, you are such a jerk. You always report good news but never bad news.
The child suffered so much outside, but you didn't say a word. It was so painful for me to hide it from you."
Seeing that she was about to cry again, Yan Qing hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. You can beat me or scold me as you like.
Just one thing, don't cry anymore, you are pregnant now."
Lu Peilan was stunned and too scared to cry.
It’s not that she felt like she was pregnant, but she was frightened by what Yan Qing had just said.
That’s their elder sister, the aunt of the Yan family.
Not to mention beating or scolding, she didn't even dare to say a harsh word.
Even though she has been married to the Yan family for more than ten years and has given birth to children for Yan Changkun, she is still treated well by her parents-in-law and sister-in-law on a daily basis.
But her heart was as clear as a mirror.
If the sister-in-law is the real head of the family, the parents-in-law are the second or third in command and should not be offended easily.
That sister is the one they all hold in their hearts, and no one can be disrespectful to her in the slightest.
If she dared to be ungrateful and despise her elder sister, even if Yan Changkun would not divorce her for the sake of the child in her belly, he would definitely send her back to her parents' home.
From now on, there will be no place for her in the Yan family.
Seeing that Lu Peilan looked unhappy, Yan Qing asked with concern: "Why do you look so unhappy? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Peilan hurriedly shook her head and forced a smile, saying, "Eldest sister, I'm just so happy to see Xier back."
She quickly ordered the servant beside her, "Go to the shop and call the shopkeeper, and tell him that our eldest daughter is back."
Yan Qing glanced at the sky and was about to say something when he heard Shen Qingyun say, “Things in the shop can be done sooner or later.
Xier rarely comes home, and if her third uncle doesn't see her, he'll make a scene when he comes back."
Thinking of her brother's childish behavior in front of them, Yan Qing's smile became more helpless.
Lu Peilan nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law really understands Chang Kun. He came back from the shop yesterday and was still talking about it. He said that after he was done with his work for the past two days, he wanted to go to the Princess's Mansion to see Xier.
Look, Xier came back just after I finished speaking."
She glanced at Shen Qingyun, whose face was stern but the corners of her lips were clearly curved, and teased: "Xier rarely comes back, but sister-in-law has a cold face. But she doesn't want to see her?"
Song Yanxi lowered her eyes and continued, "Xi'er knows she's wrong. If Auntie really doesn't want to see..."
"Hold the rest of your words back." Shen Qingyun interrupted her unbearably, wanting to beat her up.
She glared at Lu Peilan, "You've actually learned to chew your tongue. Wait until the baby in your belly falls to the ground, and see how I'll deal with you."
Lu Peilan smiled and hid behind Yan Qing, "Sister, help me, my sister-in-law wants to punish me."
Yan Qing quickly supported her from behind.
In her current state, she couldn't afford to be careless at all.
Sitting surrounded by several people, Song Yanxi felt inexplicably at ease, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Shen Qingyun glared at her and said unhappily, "Girl, you've almost tanned yourself as dark as that kid Qinghe, and you still have the nerve to laugh."
She took Song Yanxi's hand and touched it, frowning and asking, "Your hands are rough too. Didn't you prepare some hand ointment before you left?"
Song Yanxi said obediently: "I brought it, but sometimes when I get busy, I forget it."
Shen Qingyun turned around and ordered: "Go, take the snow muscle cream from my dressing box. Look at your rough hands. If you don't know, you might think you went to the border town to dig soil."
Looking at the scar on Song Yanxi's palm, her brows knitted even tighter. "Didn't they say we rode in a carriage all the way?"
Yan Qing took a look and immediately recognized that those were marks made by reins.
Ke Xier never lies, let alone in front of them.
She was about to ask when she heard Song Yanxi say, "I got it while riding a horse in the border town. It was too cold at the time so I didn't feel the pain. When I found it, the skin was already broken."
Shen Qingyun said with a sullen face, “Girl, this scar is not just a broken skin.”
Song Yanxi smiled brightly and said, "I had some medicine powder with me at the time, so I didn't feel any pain.
Please stop talking, or you might scare your aunt later."
Lu Peilan sat aside and said, "Just keep talking, don't bother with me."
Hearing that Song Yanxi was hiding something, Shen Qingyun stared at her gravely, but didn't continue asking.
She turned to look at Yan Qing and sighed, "The children have grown up."
When Song Yanxi heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
What did my aunt mean by this? Could it be that she guessed something?
