Chapter 312: Deep Love Between Aunt and Nephew

"Why are you back, Shao Jing?" Lu Lingjun greeted her with her signature polite smile.

"I heard that my uncle went to the army. My aunt and uncle were deeply in love and have been together for decades. I thought she must be worried at the moment, so I came back to accompany her." Qin Shaojing said sincerely.

Qin, who was sitting on the couch, smiled with satisfaction, "Shao Jing is thoughtful."

When Lu Lingyun saw this, he smiled with his face but not his heart.

I haven't seen her for six years since I got married, it seems like I'm married far away. We are still in the capital, so I can come back whenever I want.

Besides, the old marquis has been away on the expedition for nearly half a month, and he came back here in an affair, and I don’t think this excuse is lame.

This time when he comes back, he might have beaten the pregnant maid in the courtyard to death and hid in the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion to avoid the limelight!

Thanks to her aunt Qin's shrewdness in other matters, she became confused when she met Qin Shaojing and Cheng Yunshuo. She loved them sincerely and could not taste any mistakes.

Seeing this, Lu Lingyun was too lazy to stir up trouble for the aunt-nephew relationship, so as to avoid being scolded behind her back.

She looked at the smiling Qin Shaojing and said, "It's good to be back. Mother misses you so much. It's better to stay for a few more days after this trip."

Seeing Lu Lingyun say this, Qin Shaojing still thought she didn't know that something happened to her in Duke Liu's mansion. She smiled even more and said, "Okay, I think so too. Stay a little longer this time."

Lu Lingyun and she exchanged a few more pleasantries with Qin, making her happy. They then took Siying away, leaving the aunt and niece in the room to chat.

She led Cheng Suying back to her own courtyard. On the way, Cheng Suying asked curiously, "Mom, who is that cousin?"

"She is your grandmother's niece, who married into the Liu family."

"Oh." Cheng Suying nodded, not quite understanding. After all, she had never met Qin Shaojing before, and had no idea what she had done or who she was.

Lu Lingyun said this, she only regarded her as a relative of their family.

Just then, a beautiful figure appeared in the corridor ahead.

A little girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, stood in front.

"Aunt Huihui!" When Cheng Suying saw her, she excitedly let go of Lu Lingyun's hand and ran towards her.

"Siying." The little girl turned her head, revealing a face that was three-quarters similar to Cheng Yunshuo. She caught Cheng Siying who was running towards her, with a smile on her young and tender face.

This is exactly the young Cheng Hui at that time.

Six years passed, Cheng Hui had grown into a big girl, and in a few years she would be old enough to get married.

In the past few years, Cheng Hui has been following Lu Lingyun. After Cheng Qi went to the border, he never came back. Lu Lingyun raised her as his own sister.

In the past two years, it has become popular in the capital to send noble ladies to girls' schools. Several families have hired a few female teachers to teach their girls how to embroider, keep accounts and manage the household. They have given classes in private residences. Lu Lingyun sent Cheng Hui there as well.

Today is the day she gets to take a break and come back.

"Aunt Huihui, are you having fun at the girls' school?"

"It's fun. The teacher took us to make and release paper orioles in the suburbs a few days ago. It was really interesting."

"You also teach how to make paper irises?" Cheng Suying's eyes lit up immediately. "Is it difficult?"

"It's not that difficult. If you want to play, I'll teach you how to do it."

"Great!" Cheng Suying said excitedly.

Lu Lingyun came over at this time.

"Sister-in-law!" Cheng Hui smiled broadly when she saw Lu Lingjun. She called her sister-in-law much more sincerely than Qin Shaojing did.

"How many days will we be free this time?" Lu Lingyun looked at her tenderly.

"It's half a month off. The teacher said we can go back to class after the Spring Examination is over."

"Then take a good rest at home." Lu Lingyun led her back to her own courtyard.

The next day, Cheng Suying, who was still thinking about the paper iris, pulled Cheng Hui to the yard early to make it.

Cheng Hui used a pen to draw the paper iris one by one, while the maids beside her helped to polish the skeleton of the paper iris and remove the rough edges. Finally, with the combined efforts of the group, they glued together a very beautiful butterfly paper iris.

"It looks good, it looks good, it looks really good!" Cheng Suying was very happy looking at her new paper iris.

She was the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion, so she had no shortage of paper ibis and could buy as many as she wanted.

But the meaning is different.

Now that she had done this, Cheng Suying had forgotten her previous troubles.

"You can't move it now. Leave it here to dry. You can put it away only after it's dried."

"Okay." Cheng Suying nodded repeatedly.

She found a cool and ventilated spot and hung up her new paper ibis.

"By the way, are the lotus flowers in the backyard about to bloom?"

"Yes, there are many flower buds growing now."

"Let's go look at the flowers first and come back later."

"good."

Cheng Suying left her personal maid Cailian here to watch over the situation, and went with Cheng Hui to the nearby pond to look at the lotus flowers.

As soon as they took a step forward, several figures came over.

"Second Miss, look quickly, what is that!" A five or six-year-old girl who looked like a maid pointed at a corner of a butterfly-shaped paper ibis sticking out of the wall in front and said.

The girl walking in front of her looked up and saw the beautiful paper iris.

"Take it off for me! I want it!" Cheng Lanying pointed at the paper ibis with her eyes lighting up.

As soon as she finished speaking, Cai Lian came out from behind the archway and said, "Second Miss, that's our eldest lady's paper iris, you can't pick it!"

Cailian is Shuanghong's child, five years old this year. She has been following Cheng Suying since she was three years old and has been her personal maid.

Seeing Cheng Suying's personal maid, Cheng Lanying snorted coldly, "Who are you? How dare you stand in my way!"

"Second Miss, I don't have it. That's our eldest lady's thing." Cai Lian was still defending herself.

"If you're not blocking the way, get out of the way!" Cuiying, Cheng Lanying's personal maid, spoke fiercely to her.

Nowadays, servants' status depends on their masters.

Everyone in the Marquis's Mansion knew that their second daughter was the most favored by the Crown Prince.

What is the girl opposite? She is said to be the legitimate daughter of the mansion, but everyone knows that she is actually a concubine's daughter.

Why are you being so arrogant in front of them!

Cai Lian was not very timid. Seeing how fierce the opponent was, she took a step back and kept saying, "That's the paper iris that the young lady just made. Just don't touch it."

Not moving?

Don’t even think about it!

Cheng Lanying gave her wet nurse a look, and her wet nurse stepped forward and snatched the paper iris away.

Seeing this, Cailian became extremely anxious, "Put your things down! Don't move!"

But she had no strength to compete with a wet nurse, so the wet nurse pushed her down.

Cheng Hui and Cheng Suying had just arrived at the lotus pond when they heard Cailian's crying.

"not good!"

When Cheng Siying heard the crying, she hurried back with Cheng Hui. As soon as they ran back, they saw Cailian being pushed to the ground and crying loudly.

Next to Cailian was Cheng Lanying and her maid.

And in her hand she was holding the paper iris she had just made!

"What are you doing!" Cheng Suying shouted anxiously.
