There were a lot of things going on in the yamen today, so Qin Huai got home half an hour later than usual. He did not go directly to the dining room to eat, but went back to his room first, took off his official robe, and put on a pair of indigo casual clothes.

He has a tall figure and handsome appearance. His indigo suit makes him look elegant, elegant and extraordinary.

In the dining room, Yun Yu was talking to Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Yun was busy comforting Qin Zhichen who was hungry and clamoring for food. Hearing the maid guarding the door shouting "Master", she looked outside in unison.

"Brother-in-law." Yun Yu stood up and saluted Qin Huaifu, staring straight at the ground as a pair of feet gradually appeared in her field of vision.

"Yes." Qin Huai knew that Yun Yu was coming as soon as he entered the house, but he was not surprised that she was here. He just responded lightly and said to Yun: "Let's set the food."

After that, he came to Mrs. Qin, helped her get up and sit in front of the dining table, and then came to sit opposite her.

Qin Zhichen did not dare to make any mistakes, so he consciously came to Qin Huai's side and stood in a proper manner. As a junior, he had to wait for the elders to sit down before he could sit down.

But only in front of Qin Huai would he be so honest.

"Mom, please sit down quickly. We are all family members, so there is no need to be formal." Seeing that Yun Yu was standing still, Mrs. Qin patted the chair on the left hand side and motioned for her to sit down.

Although she was dissatisfied with Yun's daughter-in-law, no matter how dissatisfied she was, Yun Yu was still a guest. It would not sound good to spread the word about neglecting a guest, but the old lady still understood this.

"Thank you, Madam!" Yun Yu seemed to really be unable to let go. She glanced at Qin Huai, thanked Madam Qin, and then sat down solemnly.

Yun asked the maid to set the meal and sat down next to Qin Huai. Originally, she was supposed to serve Mrs. Qin to eat, but Qin Huai didn't like people standing when eating, so Mrs. Qin didn't ask her to serve.

"How did you finish your homework today?" Before the food was served, Qin Huai asked Qin Zhichen about his studies as usual, and found a slightly ferocious bulge on his head. He couldn't help but frowned: "What's going on?"

Qin Zhichen was nervous and said hurriedly: "I accidentally fell, I didn't fight and mess around!"

Seeing that her precious grandson was like a cat to a mouse in front of her son, Mrs. Qin held back her smile and spoke for her grandson: "He fell on his own, Huai'er, please don't accuse him unjustly."

As he said that, he mentioned the story of his fall, but the focus was on Qin Xiaoxiao: "...Your wife is not exaggerating. The child does look like you. He is still young and has not grown up yet."

Yes, it will definitely look more like it in a few years!"

Qin Huai didn't know that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would call people to the house. At this time, after listening to Mrs. Qin's words, he realized that the little girl who looked like him was the girl of the Qin family whom he had met while guessing lantern riddles during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.

He carefully recalled the appearance of the little girl, but the cute little face in his memory was blurred, so he asked with interest: "Why didn't you leave the person behind?"

Mrs. Qin also regretted it in her heart. She glanced at Mr. Yun and said dissatisfiedly: "Chen'er fell and hurt his head. I was so anxious that I forgot to leave someone, otherwise I could let you see it with your own eyes."

At this point, a great idea suddenly popped into her mind: "This child looks so much like you, and her surname happens to be Qin, which means she is destined to our family. I'm thinking about recognizing her as my granddaughter, which can be regarded as a grandchild."

Got it!"

"Grandma!" Qin Zhichen, who was at the far end, stared wide-eyed. He was about to stand up and shout to express his objection, but he was afraid that Qin Huai would scold him for not knowing the rules, so he didn't dare to move. He only twisted around as if there were needles in his butt.

Yun's face also changed. She was prejudiced against Qin Xiaoxiao and suspected that Qin Xiaoxiao would restrain Qin Zhichen. She didn't expect Mrs. Qin to admit their marriage.

Worry about her parents and children broke through her respect for Mrs. Qin. She put on a smile and said to Mrs. Qin: "Mom, Chen'er doesn't like that girl. They quarreled as soon as they met. I think the Qin family knows that, and they may not be willing to do it."

."

Mrs. Qin was unhappy and glared at Mrs. Yun and said, "Now that we have recognized our Goddess, Chen'er and Xiaoxiao are brothers and sisters, and we will have someone to take care of them in the future! If you want to live up to your expectations, you can give Chen'er a younger brother and sister. I will

I wouldn’t even have such an idea!”

Yun's face turned pale, she lowered her head and did not dare to speak, but her eyes gradually turned red.

Under the dinner table, Qin Huai silently held Yun's hand and said to Mrs. Qin: "Mom, Shu Niang's concerns are reasonable. The Qin family may not agree to it, and a kiss is not a matter of kowtow and toasting a cup of tea.

I hope my mother will be careful."

Seeing that her son was actually siding with her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qin was completely unhappy. She gasped and said, "Okay, okay, you two have a deep love for each other. It's my old lady who is looking for trouble! I'll have people pack up and go back to Le'an."

Lao Zhai, I’m not here to hinder your eyes!”

After that, she got up and walked out.

Yun Yu, who was sitting next to her, seemed to have just come to her senses and stopped Mrs. Qin before Qin Huai got up: "Old madam, my brother-in-law and sister are the most filial to you. Their concerns are reasonable, so why bother making the family uneasy for an outsider?

!”

Mrs. Qin was just trying to scare them, so how could she really go to her hometown and live a lonely life?

Seeing that Yun Yu was handed the ladder and came down smoothly, she complained to her: "That girl is really a good girl. She looks like your brother-in-law. It's not a big deal to become a godmother, but they don't even do this.

promise!"

Qin Huai said helplessly: "Mother, it's not that I don't want you to accept my marriage, it's true that the Qin family is unlikely to agree to this."

Mrs. Qin thought that he and the Yun family were on the same page, and said loudly: "You are a dignified fourth-grade official, and I am also a fourth-grade imperial wife. It is only good for that girl to have a marriage. How can the Qin family not be happy?"

Qin Huai said seriously: "That's why we need to be more cautious when it comes to getting married, so as to avoid the reputation of using power to overwhelm others."

Yun couldn't say anything, so she nodded in agreement, hoping that Mrs. Qin would change her mind.

Old Mrs. Qin listened to her son's words the most, and after what he said, she gradually gave up the idea of ​​acknowledging the marriage. However, in front of Mrs. Yun, she did not compromise immediately: "Humph, you know how to make up such a big truth to deceive my old lady!"

Seeing that she was relaxed, Yun Yu simply added to the anger: "Old madam, it's not easy for my brother-in-law in the officialdom. Maybe someone is waiting behind my back to catch my brother-in-law. It's just that the godmother can be recognized smoothly. If not,

I'm afraid Shun will be detrimental to my brother-in-law."

Qin Zhichen became bolder and rushed to Mrs. Qin and begged: "Grandma, Chen'er doesn't like that wild girl, and he doesn't like her as his sister. Can you please don't recognize her as your granddaughter?"

Mrs. Qin knew that Yun Yu was exaggerating, but it was related to the future of her parents and children, and she could not take any risks, and her precious grandson was not happy either. She finally waved her hands feebly: "That's all, no matter how good that girl is, after all she has nothing to do with me.

The bond between ancestors and grandchildren.”

Mrs. Yun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yun Yu with eyes full of gratitude. If Yun Yu failed to convince Mrs. Qin, she would definitely say that Qin Xiaoxiao had a bad fate and would hinder Qin Zhichen.

Yun Yu shook her head, her eyes fell vaguely on Qin Huai's face, and she lowered her eyes before Qin Huai noticed it.

After dinner, Qin Huai took Qin Zhichen to the study room to check his homework for the day; Mrs. Qin also returned to her yard, complaining to Mother Liu all the way; Mrs. Yun wanted to have a confidant with Yun Yu, so she accompanied Yun

Yu came to the guest room.

"Fortunately, you are here, otherwise my mother-in-law would not be so easy to convince." Yunshi said thankfully, and was extremely grateful to Yun Yu, her younger sister: "Dad always praised you for your intelligence when he was alive, and asked me to learn more from you."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yun Yu's mouth, which seemed to be sarcastic: "What's the use of being smart? If I can be as lucky as my sister, I can be a fool."

"You're talking nonsense again!" Mrs. Yun thought she was joking and slapped her angrily: "We are the only two sisters in our family. If you are a fool, you won't know who to hand over to the family business that my father has built throughout his life."

Yun Yu was irritated and didn't want to hear this at all. She changed the subject directly and asked the question she wanted to ask when they were in the dining room: "Sister, that girl really looks like my brother-in-law?"

Mrs. Yun nodded: "Like, especially the eyebrows and eyes are carved out of the same mold, otherwise I wouldn't have recruited her to the house to show her to my mother-in-law and your brother-in-law."

Yun Yu's heart skipped a beat and she continued to ask: "She is the niece of the Number One Scholar, does she look like the Number One Scholar?"

Mrs. Yun had met Qin He many times and knew that he had no resemblance to Qin Xiaoxiao, so she shook her head: "It doesn't look like that. Speaking of which, I have also met that girl's mother, and there is no similarity between mother and daughter."

Yun Yu's eyes were deep and she said calmly: "Isn't it strange that there is no similarity between parents and children? This girl looks like her brother-in-law. Hasn't my sister ever suspected it?"

Yun Shi smiled bitterly: "How can I not have any doubts? I invited her to the house today just to see your brother-in-law's reaction. Now she is very likely to be restrained by Chen'er, but I don't dare to ask her to come to the house again."

"My sister is confused. Regardless of whether she is related to my brother-in-law or not, you should not bring her to him and the old lady!"

Yun Yu looked at Yunshi as if she were a fool, and said with an expression of hatred: "It's best that she has nothing to do with her brother-in-law. If she is related, you bring her to her brother-in-law, and he will definitely recognize her. At that time, you

How to deal with it?"

Yun was startled and said angrily: "I was too stupid to think of this."

The disdain in Yun Yu's eyes flashed away, and her tone softened: "You can't blame my sister. It's because my sister cares too much about her brother-in-law that she can't get rid of the sand in her eyes."

Yun Shi grabbed her hand, confused: "Now that your brother-in-law knows about her, what if one day he gets the urge to see it with his own eyes? She, she looks so much like your brother-in-law, what should I do?

"

After all, no matter how much she likes Qin Huai, she still can't completely trust him. Maybe she trusted him before. As Qin Huai's official position grew bigger and bigger, Mrs. Qin became more and more difficult to serve. This trust was hidden even if she didn't know it.

Already shaken.

Yun Yu consoled her: "No, that girl's family is in Le'an, so she can't live in the capital forever. My brother-in-law is busy with official duties, so there is no time to go to Le'an to see her. If you are worried, you can find her when I return to Le'an."
