Chapter 539: Why call me Madam? From now on, I will call you Aunt
"Yan Xi, you shouldn't have taken on such a task just for your mother."
Yan Qing couldn't help but tear up as she spoke, "That Lian Niang is full of schemes and is very petty. The daughter she raised must not be any better.
If you take her to the Princess's residence, if she causes trouble, it might implicate you."
Song Yanxi chuckled, took her hand and asked, "Mom, whose daughter is Song Baozhu?"
Yan Qing was puzzled, but still followed her words and said, "Of course, she was born by Lian Niang."
Song Yanxi asked again: "What about Lian Niang?"
"She is your father... She is Song Huai'en's concubine."
"Yes, a concubine's daughter has no status and is not recognized by the Yongchuan Marquis's Mansion."
Song Yanxi arched her brows and asked, "Mother, what do you think will happen if a person like this offends the nobles of the Princess's Mansion?"
Without waiting for Yan Qing to speak, she asked again: "Mother, are you going to be soft-hearted towards them?"
Yan Qing shook her head slightly, eyes full of heartache as she said, "Yan Xi, Mother knows that the mother and daughter from Lian Yuan had secretly looked for you back then."
Although she didn't know what happened that day, she knew that they must have said a lot of vicious words to her Yan Xi.
As soon as the mother and daughter left, Yan Xi burned the calligraphy works hidden in the study, which she had originally planned to keep until the New Year's Eve to show to Song Huai'en.
He just casually said he liked it, but she took it to heart and asked her uncle to keep an eye out for it when he was doing business, intending to give it to her father as a gift.
Just to get a compliment from him.
Her Yan Xi was so good, it was Song Huai'en who was blind and mistook Yu Mu for a pearl.
He also gave the child the vulgar name Baozhu, fearing that people in the world would not know that this child was the treasure in his and Lian Niang's hearts and the pearl in their hands.
Song Yanxi's smile froze slightly. She reached out to hug Yan Qing, gently nuzzled her shoulder and said, "Mom, it's all over."
Knowing that she didn't want to talk about what happened that day, Yan Qing didn't ask, but just gently stroked her head.
Just like when he coaxed her to sleep as a child, his movements were indescribably gentle.
Song Yanxi's nose felt slightly sore, and she asked in a muffled voice, "Would mother think that I'm too cruel?"
Yan Qing frowned, "Why do you say that?"
She thought of something and sighed softly, "You've already asked today. She chose this path herself. Whether the consequences are good or bad, she should bear them herself."
Song Yanxi nodded, "My daughter thinks so too."
Hearing this, Yan Qing felt even more sad for a moment.
She gently reminded him, "Yan Xi, that child is not a good person. If he really causes trouble in the Princess's Mansion, you must not be soft-hearted."
Song Yanxi raised her head from her arms and said with some surprise, "I thought that mother would let me help you because we are sisters."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qing frowned so much that he could almost pinch a fly to death.
She originally didn't want to say anything, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Who the hell is she? How dare she call you her sister?"
"Puff!" Song Yanxi was amused by her words and asked with a smile, "Other families say that fathers don't praise their sons, but why is it completely different when it comes to mother?"
Yan Qing glared at her and said, "My daughter is so good, what's wrong with praising her?
Even if I go out and someone asks me about it in the future, I will still brag about it."
Having said that, she still explained: "But when it comes to being humble, I won't brag and make people laugh.
But there's no need to be polite with people like them.
You are polite today, but he will be arrogant tomorrow."
As he was speaking, Zhuzhi came in from outside with an irrepressible smile on his face.
She stepped forward quickly and said, "Madam, Miss, I have already sent the person back to the Lotus Garden."
Yan Qing smiled and nodded, saying, "Good boy, thank you for your hard work."
Zhuzhi said hurriedly: "It's not hard."
Seeing that she was having a hard time holding back her laughter, Song Yanxi nodded, signaling her that it was okay to talk.
After getting permission, Zhuzhi vividly recounted the interesting things that happened on the way she sent Song Huai'en back.
First, in a busy area, he "accidentally" ran into another carriage, and someone lifted the curtain, allowing people to see Song Huai'en's face clearly.
When she turned into the alley leading to Lianyuan, she accidentally bumped into a few beggars. When she got out of the car and gave them some money to send them away, she inadvertently let them know that it was the Princess's Mansion's car.
Before Zhuzhi could even say anything, a little beggar asked, "Are you bringing back that marquis?"
Song Huai'en sat in the car motionless. Not only did he not dare to yell at people to get out, he didn't even dare to fart.
Zhuzhi said, "Madam and Miss, you don't know how awful the Marquis looked when I got on the carriage."
Speaking of this, she sighed and said, "There is one more thing, I don't know if I should tell you."
Yan Qing said, "Why are you still keeping me in suspense, kid? Come on, tell me."
Zhuzhi glanced at her own daughter before continuing, "Although this is the first time I've met the girl from Lianyuan, I can tell at a glance that she's not as devoted to him as the Marquis claims."
Song Yanxi nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, now I can even tell whether there is affection or not."
Being teased like this, Zhuzhi blushed slightly and said a little embarrassedly, "How could this servant tell? I just felt that when the Marquis was injured, he didn't look anxious at all."
Feeling that this might not explain anything, she frowned and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she said, "When the young lady was in Prince Ning's mansion and heard that the prince was in the Dali Temple, she was extremely anxious."
Song Yanxi coughed lightly, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Seeing his daughter's shyness clearly, Yan Qing chuckled and said, "This girl is about the same age as you, and it's time for her to talk about marriage."
Zhuzhi became anxious when she heard this and said hurriedly, "Madam, I will not marry."
Yan Qing frowned and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? How can a girl not get married?"
She originally wanted to persuade him, but when the words came to her lips, she stopped.
Her daughter and she had divorced each other before, so it would be a bit self-deception for her to say that getting married was a good thing at this time.
She smiled and shook her head, saying, "Forget it, you are all grown up and can make your own decisions.
Even if you really don't get married in the future, our Yan family can still support you."
Zhuzhi's eyes were hot, and she cried, "Madam..."
Yan Qing's face turned serious. Under her nervous gaze, he said, "Why call me Madam? Call me Auntie from now on."
Although Si Genzhu's indenture was in Song Yanxi's hands, she was actually a member of the Yan family and should follow the servants of the Yan family and call her "Auntie".
From now on, she is just a daughter of the Yan family, and no longer the so-called wife of the Marquis of Yongchuan.
Zhuzhi burst into laughter immediately and called her "Auntie" three times in a row, which made Yan Qing smile from ear to ear.
She handed a handkerchief to Zhuzhi and said meaningfully, "Good boy, you will follow Yan Xi and marry into the Jin Palace to be the eldest maid. In the future, you may have to take care of the servants of the entire palace.
These tears, however, cannot fall any more."
Zhuzhi nodded quickly and said with a bright smile: "Don't worry, ma'am. I won't cry anymore and will smile every day for you."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard Song Xubai's teasing voice at the door, "Mom, sister, which of you has offended Sister Zhuzhi again?"
