Chapter 88: A chaotic family
Liu Qingyin lowered her head and forced a smile on her face, "Yes."
Old Madam Song was quite satisfied with Liu Qingyin's docile behavior, but she was not very satisfied with Liu Qingyin's performance last night.
She frowned tightly and admonished, "We're already married, you have to take good care of your husband. How could you let him sleep in the study last night?"
"Even if he really is drunk, you should still take care of him personally. No matter how tired you are, you should at least send a maid to take care of him."
Old Madam Song knew that her son did not sleep in the study last night, but lay down in Haitangju for the first time.
She was also holding her breath.
But Song Tingchen is her son, can she say anything wrong about Song Tingchen?
Then it can only be Liu Qingyin's fault.
"Qingyin, you must remember that after you get married, Tingchen is no longer your big brother Song, but your husband. You can no longer treat him as a brother, you have to treat him as your husband, understand?"
"At least, you should strive to expand the Song family and give birth to a boy or a girl as soon as possible. Then I can breathe a sigh of relief."
"Also, Xiaoxiao is sick, and you're the last one to know. This is just the first time, don't do this again."
Old Madam Song rambled on and on with a long string of lecturing words.
The more Liu Qingyin listened, the uglier her expression became.
The Song family still needs her money to survive for a while. What qualifications does this old hag from the Song family have to act so arrogantly in front of her?!
She wanted to give birth to a boy or girl for the Song family!
But if Song Tingchen doesn't come, who will she give birth to? !
Although she had many grievances in her heart, Liu Qingyin still had a gentle smile on her face, as if she had no temper.
After saying this, Old Lady Song began to ask Liu Qingyin indirectly when she planned to put the dowry and betrothal gifts in the public palace.
Liu Qingyin's face froze, and then she laughed it off.
Old Madam Song's face turned cold, and she felt a little dissatisfied. When Su Tan married into the family, she didn't need to say much, as Su Tan would consciously put her dowry into the public treasury.
How come it’s Liu Qingyin’s turn now? Not only does the other party lack tact, but I’ve also brought it up, and yet Liu Qingyin is still pretending to be stupid?
Is she afraid that she will swallow up her dowry?
Or does Liu Qingyin want to monopolize the ten thousand taels of silver?
Old Madam Song was unhappy, but she didn't dare to bring it up.
She has always been extremely stubborn. Most of the time, she would not take the initiative to ask for something she wants. She just hopes that someone will eagerly hand over everything to her with just a glance from her.
And it has to touch her heart.
Seeing that Liu Qingyin was really not polite, Old Lady Song became a little annoyed. She waved her hand and told her to leave without even inviting her to have breakfast.
After all the breakfast was served, Old Lady Song became even more furious.
She slammed her palm on the table several times, "Where's the bird's nest?"
"Didn't I tell you to send me a bowl of bird's nest porridge every morning? Why is there none today?"
"How on earth do you guys do things?!"
The people below are suffering terribly.
She could only say aggrievedly, "Madam, there is no money in the account recently. This... the bird's nest has been stewed before, and there is not enough money to buy bird's nest."
Old Madam Song was so angry that she almost fell over. "What kind of bullshit are you talking about? How could there be no money in the account? If you don't have money, can't you ask someone for it?"
"Now that Tingchen has married a new wife, if he needs money anywhere, he can just ask his new wife for it. Do I need to tell him everything?"
After she said that, the people below didn't dare to respond carelessly. Old Madam Song became even angrier and directly sent them to ask Liu Qingyin for money.
She even instructed her subordinates that from now on, nothing could be missing from the house except her bowl of bird's nest porridge every morning.
Even so, Old Madam Song was still a little unsatisfied.
She punished these people and gave each of them ten strokes of the cane.
He also sent a scroll of Buddhist scriptures for Liu Qingyin to copy.
Firstly, it was a punishment for Liu Qingyin's negligence in not noticing the shortage of bird's nest in time, so she didn't drink the bird's nest porridge in time today.
Secondly, it was to punish Liu Qingyin for not taking good care of Song Xiao. Song Xiao was sick, and Liu Qingyin, as a mother, was the last to know about it.
After doing all this, Mrs. Song felt a little better.
When Liu Qingyin received the Buddhist scripture sent by Grandma Gao, her expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
But she didn't say anything in the end, and just accepted the Buddhist scripture.
Grandma Gao coughed twice, feeling that since she was close to Old Madam Song, she could scold Liu Qingyin on her behalf. So she straightened her back and said, "Madam, the old lady said that she wants me to sit here and watch you finish copying the Buddhist scriptures."
"The old lady also said that when copying Buddhist scriptures, the most important thing is to be sincere, so you can't have charcoal around you."
"You——" Xue'er's eyes turned red with anger. What a bunch of heartless people!
Liu Qingyin pulled her sleeve.
"Xue'er, come and grind the ink for me."
She seemed to have no temper and let this cunning slave act arrogantly in front of her.
Xue'er's heart sank, but she finally swallowed her anger and stood obediently by the side to grind ink for Liu Qingyin.
While Liu Qingyin was copying Buddhist scriptures, Grandma Gao said that her handwriting was ugly and that she was in a restless mood.
In the end, she was always asked to re-copy it.
By the time she finally finished copying that volume of Buddhist scriptures, Liu Qingyin's hands were stiff from the cold and her stomach was aching from hunger.
"Miss! They are going too far. How can you just stand it like this?"
Xue'er's eyes were red as she quickly brought the hand warmer over to hold for Liu Qingyin.
Liu Qingyin's face was gloomy.
No wonder Old Madam Song said that many things are different after marriage.
In the past, she was the orphan of Song Tingchen's savior and a guest of the Song Mansion.
So even though some people in the Song family had complaints about her, they didn't dare to go too far.
But now she is Song Tingchen's wife.
Therefore, not only could Old Madam Song torture her, but even the servants around Old Madam Song dared to show her a bad face and act arrogantly in front of her.
"Miss, are you going to endure this?"
Xue'er was quite unwilling, because her daughter was not like this before.
Liu Qingyin snorted coldly, "Hold it?"
"Oh, I can't do anything to that old hag for now, because she's Song Tingchen's mother. Am I supposed to put up with a mean slave?"
"Xue'er, you tonight..."
Xue'er showed a relieved look and said, "Yes."
…
Grandma Gao is dead.
She had a stomachache at night and accidentally fell when she got up. It was late at night and no one could hear her cry for help.
By the time her body was found, it was frozen solid.
Old Madam Song fainted from crying.
"Grandma Gao! How could you die?"
Grandma Gao was someone she was used to, how could she die suddenly?
Liu Qingyin's eyes were cold, and she comforted Old Madam Song with her words. However, when she helped Old Madam Song to rest on the bed and covered her with a quilt, she deliberately exposed one of her feet.
On the second day after Grandma Gao left, Old Madam Song developed a high fever.
Liu Qingyin excused herself by saying that she was also ill, but insisted on attending to Old Madam Song.
As a result, she lost her balance several times, and the hot medicine spilled directly onto Old Madam Song.
This time, not only did Mrs. Song’s illness not get better.
It's become more serious.
Song Tingchen could only let Liu Qingyin go down and rest while he did it himself.
However, perhaps because he had been too busy recently, just as Madam Song finally recovered, he also fell ill.
At this time, Liu Qingyin recovered from her illness at the right time and began to take care of Song Tingchen meticulously.
However, when Song Tingchen recovered, she fell ill again.
This time I'm really sick.
Old Madam Song was extremely angry.
"Why didn't I realize Qingyin was so weak before? She gets sick all the time. How can we have children for the Song family in the future?"
"No, we have to find a concubine for Tingchen as soon as possible!"
