The group walked slowly downstairs and bumped into Pei Kangsheng who was walking through the crowd.
Pei Kangsheng almost subconsciously let go of the person he was holding, then raised his hands and bowed, "Mother!"
"ah--!"
Tang Fu was caught off guard and fell down, making her scream like a pig.
Realizing what was happening, she quickly pretended to have just woken up, lying on the ground, and slowly looked up at Pei Kangsheng.
"Sir?"
"Ouch." Tu Qingyu covered his mouth, "What happened?"
She moved the round fan in her hand and said lazily, "Chun Yin, go and help the girl up. It's not a good look for her to lie down in public."
"yes."
Chunyin is one of the few talented women given to her by Tu's father. She is good at using medicine and has decent martial arts skills.
It's not top-notch, but it's enough to deal with ordinary people.
Tang Fuben wanted to struggle, but found that she couldn't struggle at all.
She could only be helped up like this. She raised her head with a little frustration, and was stunned when she saw Tu Qingyu.
She thought she had gotten a great bargain by traveling here. After all, Tang Fu's original appearance could make her a star in modern times.
I didn't expect to see Tu Qingyu, who is so beautiful that it seems unreal, today.
“You, you are…”
"Want to ask who I am?" Tu Qingyu glanced at Pei Kangsheng, "Son, tell this girl who I am."
"It's mother." He bowed slightly and saluted again before looking at Tang Fu, "This is my... mother..."
"Ah?" Tang Fu was a little confused. "But, she looks younger than us."
Pei Kangsheng's expression changed. He didn't know how to explain to Tang Fu that she was his adoptive mother and he was just adopted.
Tu Qingyu had seen enough of the show, and she didn't really want to stand here and be watched by everyone.
"If I remember correctly, you should be in the school today. You are here now. Is it because the teacher is on holiday?"
"No, mother, yes, yes..."
"Okay, I won't ask any more questions about it. After all, I've only been here a short time, and you're already grown up. There are many things I can't control. You should go and explain this to your father yourself."
Pei Kangsheng was disheartened. "Yes, mother."
Tu Qingyu turned to look at his two stunned friends and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, he led them out one by one.
Tang Fu looked at her back, and it took her a long time to digest what they said.
"So, she, she is your stepmother?" In her mind, a scene instantly appeared, in which a beautiful girl was married off to an old duke in his forties or fifties for wealth and status.
She looked down on such people from the bottom of her heart.
Pei Kangsheng did not explain, but just hung his head, looking sad.
What I was actually thinking about was what kind of punishment I would receive from my father when I returned home today.
Tang Fu reached out and patted his shoulder, "Brother... No, Master, this is too difficult for you. It's okay, I can help you!"
Isn’t she just a stepmother?
She has read many novels about fighting against stepmothers.
Pei Kangsheng twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Thank you... young lady. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."
"My last name is Tang Fu." She lowered her head and said shyly, "Young Master, just call me Afu."
"Okay, Afu." He raised his hand. "As long as you don't mind being intrusive, it's fine. I wonder where Afu lives? It's getting late, I'll take you home now."
"This..." Speaking of this, her eyes immediately reddened. "I'm writing a script for the opera troupe. Originally, they agreed to provide accommodation, but now..."
"Don't cry yet, let me think about it." He rolled his eyes, "I have a separate courtyard not far away. If you don't mind, how about living there first? I'll call two maids to serve you."
"How can this be? We just met by chance, and you just saved me. How can I still accept your kindness?"
"What's the big deal? I came here today to see Mr. Nancheng. I was amazed by his talent and wanted to make friends with him. I never thought that Mr. Nancheng would actually be a girl!"
"What's wrong with the girl?" His words seemed to hit Tang Fu's sore spot. "Do you look down on the girl?"
"No, no, no." He shook his head, "I'm just more surprised."
"Well, I really don't have anywhere to go right now, but don't worry, just think of it as me renting your house, and I'll pay the rent."
"No need. I've already said that I admire your talent. How can I still charge you rent?"
As he looked at the girl in front of him, he felt that she was a pure and unpretentious person who regarded money as dirt.
"No, do you think I'm a freeloader?"
"This... Since Afu insists on doing this, I will accept it first."
…
When Tu Qingyu in the carriage saw this, he quickly turned off the live broadcast given by Dabao.
This is really unappetizing.
Zhou Baozhu: "Qingyu, please tell us quickly, why did Pei Kangsheng become so obedient in front of you?"
Yu Qi: "Yes, yes. I'm really curious, what have you done to him during these days since you got married?"
Today's unhesitating salute and mother really surprised them.
"I didn't do anything, it's just..."
She told her two good friends what had happened in the past few days. They both stared with wide eyes, their faces full of amazement and admiration.
"That's amazing! When I get married, I'll come and ask you for advice."
"No, this is a special case for me. You won't have to rely on me in the future and you can live well."
"Really? Actually, I'm still a little scared about getting married."
"What are you afraid of? Just take care of it yourself first. I'm saying that you can live well without relying on me, not that you can't rely on me. If it really doesn't work out, don't you still have me?"
"Qingyu, you are so nice."
"Hello to you too."
…
When Xu Ying came to greet me in the evening, she brought some more things with her.
This time's outfit is obviously a little better than the last one, which shows that a lot of money was spent on it.
She still glanced at it indifferently and asked someone to put it away.
This time Xu Ying was a little anxious, "Doesn't Mother like this?"
"Indeed, a little." She played with her Buddhist beads, "To be honest with you, mother, I really don't think much of these things. But since you gave them to me, I can't say it directly. Now that you asked, I will tell you.
From now on, there's no need to send things like this to my courtyard. Don't look at how simple Chunliu and the others dress at home. In fact, the things I give them as rewards are better than these."
Every word pierced Xu Ying's heart.
She wished Tu Qingyu would die, but she still forced a smile and asked, "What does mother like? As long as mother says the word, I will find a daughter-in-law for you no matter how much effort I put in."
"You still have the mind to ask me what I like?" Tu Qingyu's eyes were full of ridicule.
Xu Ying was stunned. "What?"
