Chapter 5 Let Them Go



Qin Fengyun was stunned when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect Sheng Yunrong to hit the nail on the head so easily.

The anger in his heart gradually subsided, but he still asked with some disbelief: "Mother, are you really not forcing us anymore?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly: "I promise you, from now on, this will never happen again."

Qin Fengyun nodded with satisfaction, turned and left.

Qin Moyuan looked at Sheng Yunrong, whose face was as cold as frost, and felt guilty: "Mother, it's all my fault for making things so difficult for you."

Sheng Yunrong gently patted Qin Moyuan's shoulder: "Silly child, what have you done wrong? It's just that this family is too complicated."

Qin Moyuan remained silent, not knowing how to comfort his mother, so he had to lower his head and continue reading.

At this moment, Sheng Yunrong suddenly felt dizzy and was about to fall.

Seeing this, Qin Moyuan immediately put down the book in his hand, rushed forward in panic, held her arm, and asked anxiously: "Madam, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Sheng Yunrong tried to stand steady, closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "It's nothing, I just felt a little dizzy. Maybe it's because I stayed up late to correct your homework last night and got up early today, so I'm a little tired."

Qin Moyuan looked at Sheng Yunrong nervously, his eyes full of worry. He held Sheng Yunrong's hand tightly, shook his head gently, and said, "Madam, you are so tired, how can I be at ease? You should have a good rest, I will massage your shoulders, maybe you will feel better."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Moyuan's concerned eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She gently patted Qin Moyuan's hand and smiled, "Good boy, I know you care about me, but it's just a little dizziness, don't worry too much. I'm just worried that I can't continue to teach you today."

Qin Moyuan was relieved when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry. I can put my homework aside for now. Your health is more important. You can teach me when you recover."

Sheng Yunrong shook her head gently and said, "No, I can't delay your studies. I have already made a study plan for you, which cannot be easily changed. Let me take a break first, and I will check your results after you have learned today's lessons."

Qin Moyuan nodded in agreement and watched Sheng Yunrong slowly walk to the bed and sit down.

He carefully covered her with the quilt, then turned back to his desk and continued studying today's homework.

Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Moyuan's back, feeling relieved. This child was smart, hardworking, and caring for others. She was really lucky. She secretly told herself that she must teach Qin Moyuan well and make him the pride of the Sheng family.

After a while, Sheng Yunrong felt much better. She walked out of the room and saw Qin Moyuan concentrating on reading. She couldn't help but smile. She walked to Qin Moyuan and asked softly, "Yuan'er, have you learned your homework today?"

Qin Moyuan raised his head and looked at Sheng Yunrong with a happy smile on his face: "Madam, I have learned it. Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Sheng Yunrong patted Qin Moyuan's shoulder gently and said, "Very good, I'm glad you're working so hard. But you should also take care of your health and don't overwork yourself."

Qin Moyuan nodded in agreement, his eyes full of gratitude.

Qin Huaiyu rushed to Sheng Yunrong's residence with a sad face, but unexpectedly met his smiling brother Qin Fengyun on the way.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you so happy?" Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but ask.

Qin Fengyun smiled and patted Qin Huaiyu on the shoulder: "Sister, you don't know, mother announced something today, so we don't have to greet and learn the rules every day anymore."

Qin Huaiyu's eyes widened when he heard this: "Really? That's great! The daily greetings and rules are really exhausting for me to deal with."

Qin Fengyun nodded, smiling: "Yes, I also feel relieved a lot. However, in order to please us, mother actually skipped the rules and studies. It's really painstaking. I'm afraid it's because father is about to marry Lingmeng, and she feels crisis and worried that her position will be lost. However, what I find strange is that mother actually started to personally tutor Qin Moyuan, the brat, to review his lessons!"

Qin Huaiyu frowned, but then relaxed again: "Brother, I don't think it's a big deal. Anyway, Miss Lingmeng is about to enter the mansion and become our mother. It's none of our business whether Mother teaches Qin Moyuan to read. Let them do whatever they want!"

Qin Fengyun smiled slightly when he heard this and patted Qin Huaiyu on the head: "Sister is right, let's not ask about it. Anyway, out of sight, out of mind!"

"That's right!" Qin Huaiyu nodded happily in agreement.

Pushing open the door of the warehouse, Old Madam Qin looked greedily at the dozen large boxes of gold and silver ingots inside, and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Qin Wenyuan followed closely behind, but frowned, looking at his mother's greedy eyes in confusion, his heart full of doubts. He walked forward and asked softly: "Mother, the wealth in this storehouse is enough for several generations of our Sheng family to enjoy, why do you still value these material things so much?"

Madam Qin turned to look at Qin Wenyuan, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure. She chuckled and said, "Wenyuan, you don't understand. There is never too much wealth in this world. Although the Sheng Mansion is large, the expenses are also high. It is better to be prepared."

Qin Wenyuan shook his head slightly, still puzzled: "What do you think about Yunrong's matter, mother? She knew that the chicken soup was poisonous, but why didn't she question us, but instead gave us the key to the warehouse? I really don't understand the reason behind this."

Old Madam Qin's eyes darkened, and the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a hint of seriousness. She stared at Qin Wenyuan and said in a more serious tone: "Wenyuan, don't you understand? Sheng Yunrong is a smart woman. She knows that in this family, she can't offend us easily. She didn't dare to question because she was afraid of losing her current life and losing your protection."

Qin Wenyuan was silent for a moment. He looked at his mother's serious face and couldn't help feeling a little shaken.

But soon, he reaffirmed his thoughts: "Mother, although Sheng Yunrong has some shortcomings, she is not timid. If she was really afraid, she would not have bravely opposed my father's decision at the wedding. I believe she must have her own difficulties."

After hearing this, Madam Qin's expression eased a little, but she still insisted on her point of view: "Wenyuan, you are too easily fooled by superficial phenomena. Sheng Yunrong's bravery is just a helpless act she made to protect herself. In this family, she can only rely on you, so she has to be nice to you."

Qin Wenyuan pursed his lips, lowered his head and said nothing.
