When Shen Biyun was persuading Qin Yaozu, she remembered why he had been so abnormal recently. It turned out that it was because he heard the rumors.
"By the way, Yaozu, what do you mean by you're not leaving?"
"If you marry my uncle, you will send me away. I don't want to leave my mother. I don't want to go..." Qin Yaozu thought of this again and started crying.
Shen Biyun was helpless. Even if she got married, she would not send him away. She didn't know what the person behind her was doing. What was the purpose of the person who said bad things behind her? Was he just teasing him?
No matter what, the child took it seriously. She coaxed him for a long time, but he didn't believe it. In the end, he fell asleep crying, still clutching her clothes. She couldn't help but feel sad and distressed. She didn't know how long this child had been holding it in before he spoke it out. It was really pitiful.
Furthermore, if I really marry An Zhongtao, will my cousin treat me differently?
Will her child have a status in the general's mansion?
Can the eldest son of the family be tolerated?
These are all problems.
When I thought of this, my heart, which had been as hot as a boiling pot just now, suddenly turned cold...
However, she thought that Qin Yaozu was just a child and she just needed to coax him.
But who was taking advantage of this child? She couldn't help but become suspicious and secretly frightened.
Everything else is easy to deal with, except Qin Yaozu, whom she cares about the most, and the person she wants to protect the most is him.
The man in the dark really did the right thing.
At the same time, the old lady found An Zhongtao.
An Zhongtao had some idea about why she was looking for him. Sure enough, after the old lady asked a few irrelevant questions, she smiled and said, "Zhongtao, what do you think of Shen Biyun?"
"Of course my cousin has nothing to say." An Zhongtao checked the tunnel.
"Well, let me tell you the truth. That girl's looks and beauty are incomparable. It's a pity that she chose the Qin family and became a widow. A woman who has been married is of lower status. Otherwise, with that girl's abilities, she would have no problem being a mistress. But fortunately, she likes you and is willing to be your concubine. What do you think that means?" The old lady said a lot.
An Zhongtao did not expect to be proposed so directly. In fact, he was somewhat willing in his heart. It was indeed a pity for a person like Shen Biyun to be just a concubine. But now, the timing was not right.
So he said, "Madam has just given birth to Mingchen, so it's not a good idea to take a concubine now."
"Why is it not good? It's because she has a newborn child that she is not as attentive to serving you. Now you want to take a concubine to take care of you. Anyone who understands will take the initiative to say this. There is no need for me to arrange it. I see, you are too indulgent to your daughter-in-law, which is not good." The old lady was unhappy.
An Zhongtao just smiled and said, "Mother, let's put this matter aside for now."
"Okay, let's put it aside for now. The New Year is coming soon. You can do whatever you want. Biyun is a worried child. She mentioned to me a few days ago that she wanted to prepare gifts for each of you during the New Year, especially for you. She worked on it needlework and her eyes were choked. If you were a thoughtful person, you would have taken her to your room long ago. You have a big family and a big business, so you wouldn't mind these poor mother and child, right?"
An Zhongtao just smiled, not sure whether it was yes or no.
This conversation was soon heard by someone, Lian Jinyu. Lian Jinyu's heart was in turmoil. An Qingran sneered in her heart. She asked Rendong to use Qin Yaozu and tell him that his mother was getting married and was going to send him away, but there was no effect?
How should I deal with the old lady?
An Qingran was really troubled by Shen Biyun and her grandmother.
If this doesn't work, she will be angry.
No matter what, she would not allow such a scheming woman who was in cahoots with her grandmother to enter the general's mansion.
An Qingran's plan was not without effect. Qin Yaozu's crying kept Shen Biyun quiet for several days. She didn't coax her son and had no intention of meeting An Zhongtao. Although Qin Yaozu agreed on the surface, he kept looking at his mother. As long as she made any movement, he would contact his cousin. Therefore, he didn't cry for many days, but just made trouble.
An Qingran felt relieved temporarily after knowing this.
Lian Jinyu was touched because she had a child and he had been by her side for a month. She also knew that the general was not alone and it was normal for him to have concubines. Although she was very wary of Shen Biyun, she had no choice. She thought that if the general liked her, she could take her in. After all, she had a legitimate son, and the position of the mistress of the general's mansion was unshakable.
In fact, she was only saying this to enlighten herself. Otherwise, what else could she do except to be open-minded and adapt to everything.
She was angry but there was nothing she could do. Fortunately, An Qingran was there to counsel her, telling her to relax and figure out a solution herself.
Lian Jinyu looked at her daughter. She didn't want her to worry about so many things for her at such a young age, so she said forget it.
An Qingran just smiled and said, "Some things can't be counted, because some people don't know how to be grateful, but instead take advantage of it."
She was talking about her grandmother. She really had nothing to say about her grandmother. She obviously favored her uncle's family. Now there was Shen Biyun. Did her father do something wrong?
Otherwise, why would she be like this? An Qingran felt helpless and had no way out.
An Zhongtao was also very conflicted and hesitant. It was impossible for him not to be touched by his cousin's favor, but as for his wife, he could imagine that she must be unhappy, and he had no way of telling her about it.
In short, there is a subtle movement in the general's mansion, but it has not yet been revealed.
******
winter solstice.
An Qingran’s birthday.
After your birthday, you are one year older.
An Qingran is already thirteen years old.
Her mother said that her birthday should be celebrated in a big way, because after she turned thirteen she would be coming of age, and after that she would get married. She calculated that she would have celebrated at most two birthdays at her parents' home, so it naturally should be a big deal.
It was a rare sunny day. Although it was still cold, we saw the sun which had not been seen for a long time. Inside and outside the palace, although it was not as lively as the day of the full moon banquet, there were still a lot of carriages and horses, and the water was blocked.
The neighbors were naturally extremely envious, and also envied General An's good popularity.
In fact, part of her popularity is due to her own merits.
Lou Wanyue arrived first. She took the gift and personally handed it to An Qingran. An Qingran was very curious about what she gave her. When she opened it, she found it was a phoenix hairpin.
This surprised An Qingran very much. Why would she give her a phoenix hairpin?
