Chapter 68 Domestic Strife



Lin Qinghuan looked at the breakfast that was served, which included lean pork congee, shrimp dumplings, and xiaolongbao. Lin Qinghuan took a spoonful of congee, blew on it, and then put it in her mouth. It tasted good. The lean pork was not overcooked and had not become tough. Moreover, there was no MSG.

Qin Zhen picked up a shrimp dumpling for Lin Qinghuan and said, "The shrimp dumplings taste good, you should try them."

Lin Qinghuan picked up her chopsticks, took a shrimp dumpling, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, smiled at Qin Zhen, and said, "The shrimp dumplings are very fresh and tender, and taste great."

"Eat one more if you like it." Qin Zhen said, putting another shrimp dumpling on Lin Qinghuan's plate.

Lin Piaoxue glanced at Qin Zhen with a gloomy look in her eyes, then buried her head in her porridge. Her reputation had been ruined by Lin Qinghuan, otherwise she would be the one receiving this preferential treatment now.

Lin Qinghuan was indeed her nemesis, born to be her enemy. Her hatred for Lin Qinghuan deepened, and she was determined not to let Lin Qinghuan get away with it.

After breakfast, Wei Xiao led Lin Qinghuan and the others to the door and saw an elderly woman with gray hair being helped by a middle-aged woman as they walked towards them. She looked elegant and noble.

"Grandma, Mom," Wei Xiao called out.

"Ah Xiao is back," Grandma Wei said kindly.

"Grandma, I'm back. How have you been feeling lately?" Wei Xiao asked with concern.

"Okay, okay, Grandma is in good health," Grandma Wei said with a smile.

Mother Wei looked at Lin Qinghuan, Lin Piaoxue, and Qin Zhen, and said with a smile, "Ah Xiao, why don't you introduce your friends to me and your grandmother?"

Lin Piaoxue stepped forward, blocking Lin Qinghuan's path. Lin Qinghuan frowned and took a step back.

Lin Piaoxue looked at Grandma Wei with a smile and said, "Grandma Wei, I am Lin Piaoxue, Wang Xinyi's granddaughter."

Grandma Wei looked at Lin Piaoxue and smiled, "You must be Xinyi's granddaughter. How is your grandma?"

"Grandma Wei, my grandma passed away many years ago," Lin Piaoxue said sadly.

Grandma Wei's face showed sadness as she said, "How could you leave so soon without even seeing me once?"

A faint sadness appeared on Lin Piaoxue's face as she said, "Grandma Wei, don't be sad. My grandma passed away peacefully. If she knew you were sad for her, she wouldn't have been able to leave in peace."

Wei Xiao pulled Lin Qinghuan in front of Grandma Wei and said, "Grandma, look at her, who does she look like?"

Grandma Wei looked at Lin Qinghuan and exclaimed in surprise, "Xinyi!"

"Hello Grandma Wei, I am Lin Qinghuan, the granddaughter of Wang Xinyi. I look quite like my grandma, so Brother Wei Xiao brought me here to meet you," Lin Qinghuan said with a smile.

Grandma Wei kept staring at Lin Qinghuan, saying repeatedly, "She looks just like her, so much like her, she looks so much like Xinyi."

Lin Qinghuan gave a shy, dry laugh.

Looking into Lin Qinghuan's clear eyes, Wei's mother felt a greater liking for her.

"Mom, your leg isn't good, let's go back inside and sit down to talk," said Wei's mother.

“Okay, let’s go back inside and talk,” Grandma Wei said happily.

Seeing how well the Wei family treated Lin Qinghuan, Lin Piaoxue glared at Lin Qinghuan with jealousy.

Lin Qinghuan rolled her eyes. Lin Piaoxue was a lunatic. She hadn't provoked her, so why was she glaring at her for no reason?

Lin Qinghuan leaned close to Lin Piaoxue's ear and whispered, "Sister, don't give people attitude so easily. People who don't know better might think you're crazy."

Lin Piaoxue was angered by Lin Qinghuan again. She gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Qinghuan, wishing she could tear Lin Qinghuan to pieces.

Lin Qinghuan followed behind Wei Xiao with her hands behind her back, looking smug. Lin Qinghuan loved seeing Lin Piaoxue hate her to death but couldn't do anything about it.

Happiness is indeed built upon the suffering of the enemy.

Qin Zhen looked at Lin Piaoxue with sympathy. Why did she have to provoke Lin Qinghuan and invite trouble upon herself?

Lin Qinghuan turned to look at Lin Qinghuan and saw her bright smile and sparkling eyes, which made her unable to suppress a smile.

Mother Wei helped Grandma Wei sit down. Grandma Wei looked at Lin Qinghuan, beckoned to her, and said, "Sit next to Grandma and talk to her."

Lin Qinghuan obediently sat down next to Grandma Wei. Grandma Wei held Lin Qinghuan's hand, her face beaming with a kind smile, like the spring sunshine, warm and comforting.

Lin Qinghuan held Grandma Wei's hand in return. Grandma Wei was so kind and approachable that she couldn't help but think of her own grandmother.

Wei Xiao looked at Lin Qinghuan and Grandma Wei's clasped hands with a gentle gaze.

Lin Piaoxue lowered her eyes, feeling indignant. Why did even Grandma Wei and Mother Wei like Lin Qinghuan so much?

Lin Piaoxue felt that something had slipped out of her control.

"Girl, how is your grandma doing?" Grandma Wei asked.

“My grandma is very wise; nothing can stump her, so she lives a very good life,” Lin Qinghuan said.

Grandma Wei chuckled and said, "Your grandma is indeed very smart and knows how to make choices."

Lin Qinghuan nodded. Lin's mother had always been resentful because of Lin's grandmother, which is why she took her anger out on the original owner of the body.

Lin's mother's anger was blatant misplaced!

Lin Qinghuan despised her mother's behavior. If she was so capable, she should confront her directly. What kind of ability is it to take her anger out on a child?

"Girl, you must stay at home for a few more days and talk with Grandma Wei."

Lin Qinghuan nodded with a smile and said softly, "Then I'll stay a few more days. Grandma Wei, please don't find me annoying."

"No, Grandma loves talking to pretty young girls," Grandma Wei said.

"Oh! I didn't expect to have guests." A woman with exquisite makeup, wearing a purple dress, walked in, her seven-inch high heels making a clattering sound on the floor.

The middle-aged woman sat down opposite Grandma Wei and said with a smile, "Mom, I've been busy lately and haven't had time to come see you. I hope you understand."

Grandma Wei said, "It's alright, I have your sister-in-law with me, she takes good care of me."

The middle-aged woman covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled softly, "My sister-in-law is a free person. It's best to have her keep you company, unlike me who is so busy."

"Wow!" Lin Qinghuan felt that what this woman was saying sounded particularly awkward; she was clearly making a veiled mockery of Wei Xiao's mother.

Wei Xiao said calmly, "Second Aunt, you're already so old, yet you're still busy all the time. If you ruin your health, it won't be worth it. At your age, it's better to cultivate your mind and body."

Aunt Wei's face turned ashen. Wei Xiao, that bastard, was mocking her. How outrageous!

Mother Wei glared at Wei Xiao reproachfully and said, "Xiao, why are you speaking such blunt truths? You'll make your second aunt sick, and your second uncle will be heartbroken."

Wei's mother's words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Wei's second aunt furious and glaring at Wei's mother.

Mother Wei clutched her chest and said fearfully, "Second sister-in-law, don't look at your sister-in-law like that. She's easily frightened."

Lin Qinghuan stared with her big, watery eyes, holy crap! This is a live version of a palace drama!
