She stood up, glanced at the old lady in panic, and then said in a trembling voice: "It might be my mother-in-law."
Lian Jinyu said, "Then please come in."
An Qingran's eyes lit up. The old lady came at the right time. She no longer had to perform, and her coming solved the problem.
The play was not performed anymore.
Everyone came to the gate to welcome them. Several people, both men and women, were standing next to a blue woolen carriage. Among them was an old lady with a plump face that exuded a sense of majesty. She was wearing a very new style of black skirt with red flowers and a light-colored jacket, which also looked very novel. It seemed that she was an old lady who was not out of date.
Seeing this, Shen Biyun stepped forward and called softly, “Mother, why are you here?”
The old lady glanced at her sideways, but smiled at the old lady behind her: "This is my aunt-in-law, you look really young."
"You are the old lady of the Qin family. We have never met you before. You are such a rare guest." The old lady knew that the visitor had no good intentions, and the look on his face towards her niece made her secretly think something bad was wrong, but she still treated him politely.
Lian Jinyu didn't know what happened, but An Qingran walked beside her and whispered, "Mother, wait and see."
After the old lady greeted everyone, she looked at the younger generations and said, "Which one is Miss An Qingran?"
An Qingran stepped forward and smiled when she heard this: "Meet Old Madam Tan."
Madam Tan smiled and nodded at her: "I'm here. I'm so glad to see you..."
"Me too. Madam, you must have come all the way here, you must have worked hard." An Qingran knew why she had specially greeted her, but others didn't know.
The group walked inside while talking. In the letter that An Qingran wrote to the old lady, she wrote that Shen Biyun wanted to marry into the general's mansion, take her only grandson with her and remarry, and change her only grandson's surname.
That's why the old lady came in person in such a hurry.
An Qingran thought about it and was not surprised at all.
When Shen Biyun saw the old lady of the Qin family, her legs were no longer under her control. Once her mother-in-law came, all her lies would be exposed. It was obvious that she had no good intentions, so she would not agree to remarry. Even if she agreed, she would not let herself take Qin Yaozu with her. If Yaozu was not here, her heart would not be torn into pieces.
Because of the sudden arrival of Old Lady Qin, Shen Biyun's birthday party ended early. She followed behind her tremblingly. Everyone warmly welcomed Old Lady Qin to Beiyuan, and even Old Lady An followed suit. She felt uncomfortable, but this was the etiquette and she had no choice.
After Mrs. Qin sat down, she looked around and asked, "Where is my grandson? Where is my precious grandson?"
Shen Biyun was like being struck by lightning. She turned around and brought Qin Yaozu in with the maids. Qin Yaozu was naturally happy when he saw his grandmother coming. He wanted to rush over but forgot that his leg was not working well. He ran a few steps and fell to the ground. This distressed old lady Qin and she quickly got up and hugged him in her arms: "My grandson, what happened to you?"
"Grandma, don't cry, I'm fine, I just fell." Qin Yaozu saw that his grandmother was so happy that nothing mattered to him.
Besides, his mother had also told him not to tell his grandmother about what happened here.
As Mrs. Qin checked, she felt so distressed: "How could he be so careless? What if he gets disabled?"
Everyone's face looked unhappy, because everyone knew what caused her grandson to be injured, including Old Lady An. She felt that this mother-in-law came at a really bad time. With her coming, her plans would have to be changed. Besides, her crying made everyone in the An Mansion lose face.
Finally, Madam Tan hugged her grandson and sat back down. She glanced coldly at Shen Biyun, who stood there smiling apologetically: "He is a little too naughty..."
“We’ll talk about it later.” The old lady coldly stopped Shen Biyun’s explanation.
An Qingran was very happy beside her.
Finally someone came and can ask this troublesome aunt to leave!
Then everyone chatted about some other topics, nothing more than family matters, customs and social relations. The general's mansion prepared a sumptuous dinner, which was attended by Lian Jinyu, An Zhongtao, An Zhongyuan, Chu and the old lady. The others, including Shen Biyun, did not come to the table, but just stood on the ground beside waiting to be served. Lian Jinrong was the most enthusiastic one, and she made Old Lady Qin smile at her all the time and praise her constantly.
Lian Jinrong was of course happy. Seeing that An Qingran had invited the old lady, she understood very well.
While admiring An Qingran, I couldn't help but be secretly shocked. I hadn't even thought of this idea, so how could she come up with it at such a young age?
This is really a perfect plan, but the old lady must not make things worse. If she agrees to Shen Biyun's remarriage, it will be a lively scene.
At the table, the old lady always had a faint smile on her face. She understood the etiquette of being a guest in someone else's house, but she also had the dignity of a mother-in-law. Whenever she looked at Shen Biyun, she did not look happy. Shen Biyun looked at her aunt for help, but her aunt seemed not to see her and was still talking and laughing with the old lady. This made Shen Biyun feel uneasy. What did her aunt mean? She didn't even say a word for her. Besides, it was obvious that her mother-in-law was not kind to her. Couldn't her aunt see it?
The old lady smiled and said, "Yaozu has been here for so many days. I am sorry to bother you. This child is very naughty..."
"It's normal for children to be a little fussy. Mingxuan is older than Yaozu and has the same temper. His arm is also broken..."
"In the future, I will take Yaozu back home and educate him well..."
"Mom, are you going to take Yaozu away?" Shen Biyun could no longer remain calm. She rushed forward with hesitation on her face.
The old lady looked at her calmly: "Then why do you think I came here this time?"
“But Yaozu is still young, he can’t leave his mother…” Shen Biyun blurted out, revealing her true purpose.
The old lady looked at her and sneered: "My grandson of the Qin family will naturally return to live in the Qin Mansion. It will be fine after a long time."
That means he doesn’t want Shen Biyun to go back.
Lian Jinrong was stunned when she heard this. Was this old lady here to marry her son?
And An Qingran was also shocked when she heard this, it seemed that the old lady was really angry, well, no matter whether she wanted Shen Biyun to go home and take Qin Yaozu back, she would see what she would do alone.
Shen Biyun looked straight at Old Lady Tan without saying a word.
The old lady also turned around and continued drinking with everyone.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are holding back their energy, and no one knows what the consequences will be.
