Hua Fushu secretly glanced at Ye Zelin, and Ye Zelin seemed to understand and told Madam Qidie that he was tired.
Madam Qidie didn't allow him to say anything more, and just told him to have a good rest, and took Ye Songyan and Side to the guest room.
As soon as Madam Qidie and others left Yunshuiju, Hua Fushu also sent Sanqiao away to rest.
Hua Fushu invited Ye Zelin into her bedroom and let him rest.
Ye Zelin was indeed a little tired. After all, this was Hua Fushu's boudoir, and he didn't dare sleep on her bed. He was about to ask her why her relationship with Madam Qidie was so bad, but Hua Fushu went out.
Ye Zelin lay down on the low couch.
Hua Fushu walked towards the gate. Just one step away, Hua Mingqian came towards her. Seeing that it was his daughter, he quickly stepped forward and hugged Hua Fushu, smiling broadly, "My daughter, you're back! Daddy missed you so much!"
Hua Fushu broke free from Hua Mingqian, leaving her father feeling disheartened. She said, "When you and Uncle Ye were colluding with each other to frame me, why didn't you consider that I'm your biological daughter?"
She has not forgotten this and will never forget it.
In this vast world, her parents are the only ones who would damage their own daughter's reputation in order to force her to marry.
Hua Mingqian honestly admitted his mistake, "My dear daughter, Daddy knows about this. Your mother didn't know about this at first, and Daddy told her later. Now that it has happened, your mother has no choice but to force you to agree. If you want to blame someone, blame Daddy, don't blame your mother."
Hua Fushu said to Hua Mingqian with a warning, "If I really blamed my mother, she would have been lying on her sickbed long ago. As for you, Dad, I don't miss you. Before your daughter gets angry, get out of here and get out of my sight."
Hua Mingqian pouted, his round almond eyes looking pitifully at Hua Fushu, then glanced at the servants cleaning the front yard, then at the passers-by outside the door, "My daughter, the ground is dirty, and there are people here. How can you ask your father to get out?"
Hua Fushu almost laughed out loud, but she suppressed her anger and gave her father an idea. "If you don't want to leave, just go back to your room. No one will see you leave except my mother."
Hua Mingqian wanted to cry but had no tears, his face full of disappointment, "Hua'er, you really have the heart to let Dad roll around on the ground."
Hua Fushu said, "As long as it's not you, your daughter won't have the heart to do it."
Hua Mingqian felt like he had lost both his parents.
Hua Fushu had already walked past Hua Mingqian and out the door.
When she returned to the house, Mrs. Qidie was discussing with the servants how to welcome her daughter and son-in-law in the evening.
Xiao Duwu was playing in the yard, and when she saw her father come into the house, she followed him.
Seeing Hua Mingqian approaching, Madam Qidie stopped discussing with the servants and went over alone. Seeing that his face was as lifeless as the flowers and plants, she asked him what was wrong. Hua Mingqian sighed and said, "My daughter told me to get out."
Madam Qidie chuckled, and the servants in the room couldn't help laughing. Hua Duwu, who had just arrived at the door, happened to hear this and asked, "Father, have you left yet?"
Madam Qidie glared at him, and Hua Duwu shut up in frustration.
At this time, Hua Mingqian said again: "Hua'er is really infuriating. She actually told me to go back to the house and leave by myself and ignored me. I was thinking about her every day, wondering if she was okay, whether anyone was bullying her, and whether she was getting used to the lockdown."
Duwu urged, "Father, sister, please get out. I'll watch over you for her. Please hurry up and get out."
Madam Qidie picked up a cup from the table and was about to throw it at Duwu. Duwu dodged quickly, but the cup had been blocked by Hua Mingqian.
Hua Duwu peeked at her mother, feeling proud of having avoided a disaster.
Madam Qidie was a little annoyed. "The two sisters have the same temper. They can't be happy if they don't make others angry."
Hua Mingqian said, "My daughter is lively, cheerful, and smart. Madam, you don't know that when Huaer told me to get out, she actually laughed, but she was holding it back. It seems that she was in a good mood. When she is in a good mood, she can forget some things."
Mrs. Qidie thought that made a lot of sense. Her eldest daughter was naturally optimistic, and nothing could make her sad or angry all the time. Except for when her uncle left, she was sad for a while, but in the past ten years, she had never seen her sad.
After waking up, Ye Zelin left Yunshuiju and looked at the various flowers and plants in the yard of Yunshuiju. Although they were called various, they were actually in a mess. There were unknown ones and famous ones. Most of them could be used for viewing and as medicinal materials, such as saffron, dendrobium, ophiopogon, daylily, and platycodon.
Several plants at hand caught his attention. He saw that these plants had two flowers on one stem, with the stamens sticking out. They were paired and never left each other. They looked like a male and a female accompanying each other, or like mandarin ducks dancing.
Sanqiao had come here looking for flowers, but when she saw Ye Zelin looking at the honeysuckle in the flowerbed, she asked, "Sir, do you recognize this flower?"
Ye Zelin shook his head. "I don't know. I just saw it had two flowers on one stem, so I was a little curious."
Sanqiao said, "This flower is called honeysuckle, also known as honeysuckle."
Ye Zelin whispered: "Honeysuckle?"
Sanqiao explained, "This flower is white when it first blooms, and turns yellow after a day or two. The white resembles silver, and the yellow resembles gold, hence the name honeysuckle. Two flowers grow on the stalk, forming a pair, inseparable. They resemble male and female, and also resemble mandarin ducks, hence the name mandarin duck vine."
"Yuanyang Teng is a good name." Ye Zelin asked again, "How does Miss Sanqiao know so much? Honeysuckle seems to be a medicinal herb."
Sanqiao said, "There was a servant in the mansion who knew a few medicinal herbs. My daughter asked him to plant some in the yard. Although she was useless, she was able to take good care of these flowers and plants."
Ye Zelin was quite surprised. Even if Hua Fushu was useless, Sanqiao, as his personal maid, didn't have to say that in front of him.
He thought about it, "Useless? Not really."
Sanqiao was honest, "To be honest, sir, even my wife and the head of the family think that I am useless, not to mention the people outside."
Ye Zelin smiled and said, "It's not that she's completely useless. Your daughter is quite filial."
Sanqiao said, "It seems so."
Ye Zelin asked Sanqiao why she came to Yunshuiju. Sanqiao said she came to look for him. She then led Ye Zelin to Madam Qidie's yard to meet Hua Mingqian.
Hua Mingqian was quite worried after his daughter got married, and asked about Hua Fushu's situation in Beijing. Ye Zelin only said how well-behaved and sensible Hua Fushu was in Beijing, which was naturally a fabrication.
Hua Mingqian knew her daughter's temperament very well. Ye Zelin said this just because she didn't want to make him worry.
Although there were some lies mixed in, Hua Mingqian felt comfortable listening to it. This son-in-law was a considerate person.
When Hua Fushu came back, it was already late and it was just time for dinner.
When they arrived at the dining room, everyone was already seated. Hua Duwu hurriedly called her over and asked her to sit between her and Madam Qidie.
Hua Mingqian was happy and invited his son-in-law and Ye Songyan to drink more. Ye Zelin said that he was not good at drinking, but he also drank a few more glasses than usual.
After dinner, Hua Duwu took Hua Fushu away, while Hua Mingqian chatted with Ye Zelin and Ye Songyan.
