Chen Qiu felt really distressed when he saw Mingyue, who usually smiled so brightly, now looking so dejected, so he thought of asking Ye Chen. After all, Mu Qing grew up with him, and he should know Mu Qing best.
Thinking of this, he said something to Lan Yu and took Xing'er to the study. On the way, Shen Qiu asked Xing'er: "Xing'er, Mingyue is like this, how can we help her?"
Xing'er has always been steady and intelligent. After Chen Qiu became pregnant, she accepted Ye Chen's advice and left all the household affairs to Xing'er. Chen Qiu only needed to make a decision, and the old Duke and Madam Xiao would be responsible for major matters.
Xing'er is usually busy, and it is Jin'er who always follows Shen Qiu. In fact, it is Ye Chen who follows Shen Qiu the most.
However, the autumn examination is coming soon, and Ye Chen has been staying in the study these days.
Xing'er shook her head and said, "Mingyue is simple-minded. She seems to care about nothing, but in her heart she values friendship the most. She likes Mu Qing, we can all see that, but Mu Qing keeps telling Mingyue off again and again."
"I think this outburst is also related to Mu Qing and Jin Er calling each other brother and sister."
Chen Qiu sighed and said, "I'll go find my husband and ask him what's going on with Mu Qing first."
As soon as the two of them walked to the door of Ye Chen's study, they heard: "Master, what you said is useless. I provoked Mingyue. At first, I thought it was right, but today Mingyue and I have drawn a clear line."
"I don't know what to do!"
Chen Qiu and Xing'er glanced at each other, and then they heard Ye Chen say, "I asked you to stimulate Mingyue, but I didn't ask you to stimulate her every day. Aren't you just looking for stimulation for yourself?"
"It's okay to provoke a girl once, and it's okay to provoke her twice, but if you provoke her every day, she'll definitely get angry if she's not stupid!"
Mu Qing exclaimed, "Ah," "Then why didn't you explain it to me clearly at the beginning?"
Ye Chen continued, "Do I need to explain this to you? Mu Qing, Mu Qing, you usually handle things very well, but why can't you handle the girl you like so well?"
Only then did Chen Qiu realize that Mu Qing's abnormal behavior was caused by Ye Chen.
In their previous life, because of Ye Chen and Shen Qiu's affair, Ming Yue and Mu Qing loved each other, but ultimately missed each other. Mu Qing had always followed Ye Chen, so where did Ming Yue end up? Ye Chen hadn't seen her since Shen Qiu's death.
In this life, Ye Chen hopes that those who were good to Shen Qiu in the previous life will have a good ending.
Just as Chen Qiu was about to knock on the door, she heard Ye Chen say, "Since you hurt her, you must apologize properly. If one time doesn't work, try twice. This time, it won't work in one or two times. You have to be patient."
Chen Qiu and Xing'er took a quick look and felt that there was no need to go in. Since Ye Chen was teaching Mu Qing, Mu Qing should be able to find the original Mingyue, right?
As soon as Shen Qiu and Xing'er returned to Qiuchen Courtyard, Jin'er said, "Madam, your grandmother, the old lady of the Shen family, is here!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiu hurried into the room. Old Madam Shen was sitting on a chair and talking to Lan Yu.
When he saw Chen Qiu coming in, a hint of blame flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting.
Chen Qiu stepped forward and said, "Grandma, when did you come?" Chen Qiu knew why Old Madam Shen came, so she only asked the time of her arrival.
Lan Yu continued, "As soon as you left the courtyard, a maid reported it to me, and I acted on my own initiative."
Chen Qiu thanked Lan Yu, and Lan Yu went to the medicine garden on the pretext of preparing medicine for the old Duke. Xing'er took Huang Ying, the maidservant of Shen's grandmother, to the yard, leaving only Chen Qiu and Old Madam Shen in the room.
Old Madam Shen snorted without looking at Chen Qiu. Chen Qiu knew that he was a little wrong, so he pulled Old Madam Shen's arm and said, "Grandma, please don't be angry."
"My pregnancy isn't stable yet, so I'm afraid I'll be celebrating for nothing. I originally thought it would be almost four months, so I'd go back to the Shen family and announce the good news, but who knew the Emperor would tell them in advance?"
Old Madam Shen said hurriedly, "Pfft, pfft, what are you talking about? Children talk without restraint. What's the point of being so happy?"
"Quick, sprinkle some water, don't be surprised!" He picked up the tea on the table, dipped his hands in water and sprinkled it in four directions.
Then he looked at Chen Qiu with a look of reproach and said, "I'm not really angry. I'm so happy that you're pregnant. We understand if you don't tell us now."
"The Shen family doesn't have many people, but they never have a peaceful day. It's right for the son-in-law not to agree to let you return to the Shen family."
Chen Qiu asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Did something happen again?"
Old Madam Shen said: "Rouyun has become even more stupid. Now she is not stupid, but more like crazy. Yesterday she beat up a servant and ran away. She has made the whole mansion a mess."
"He used to be just stupid and foolish, but now he hits people at the slightest provocation. He also says some incomprehensible things."
Chen Qiu frowned and asked, "How could this happen? Did the servants bully her? What did she say?"
Madam Shen said: "No servant dared to bully her. I visited her every day and helped her bathe. I never saw any scars on her body."
"When I was bathing her, I heard her mumbling things like, 'Chen Qiu cheated on me, Chen Qiu drugged me!' I guess someone must have taught her that."
Chen Qiu didn't say anything. After thinking for a while, she said, "Grandma, I can't make up my mind about this matter. I want to discuss it with my husband."
"This matter is obviously directed at me. Who would benefit from hurting me?"
Chen Qiu didn't say anything more about it, and then changed the subject, saying: "Grandma, let's have lunch at the mansion. I'll take you to Rongwei Hall. Grandma missed you!"
Old Madam Shen did not refuse. As soon as the two of them went out, they met Ye Chen who had returned, and Mu Qing was guarding in front of Mingyue Gate.
Shen Qiu looked at Mu Qing, then accompanied Madam Shen to Rongwei Hall with Ye Chen.
After lunch, Madam Shen rested in Rongwei Hall, while Chen Qiu and Ye Chen returned to Qiuchen Courtyard.
On the way, Chen Qiu told Ye Chen about Shen Rouyun's affairs. Ye Chen frowned. These people were restless and even wanted to hurt his Qiu'er.
After returning to Qiuchen Courtyard, Ye Chen settled Chen Qiu and went to the study. Before leaving, he called Mu Qing and Mingyue.
Ye Chen's study.
Ye Chen told her about Shen Rouyun. Ming Yueya bit her teeth and said, "How can these people be so shameless? Madam has never hurt them, but they come again and again."
Ye Chen said: "I need you two to go to the Shen Mansion and investigate this matter. Mingyue is in the light and Muqing is in the dark. You cooperate to find this person for me. I want the result before I enter."
"Mingyue, when Madam Shen returns to the Shen Mansion, you will follow her. Mu Qing will be assisting you in secret. Do you understand?"
Mingyue and Muqing answered in unison: "Understood!"
Coming out of Ye Chen's study, Mu Qing wanted to talk to Mingyue, but Mingyue ignored him and walked away. Mu Qing smiled and said to himself, "It's okay. This is just the beginning. I have a lifetime with you. I have plenty of patience."
