180 Fairy Chang’e from the Glacial Palace
After Qu Lianghua knew what was on his father’s mind, he said, “Nothing can be forced. Father, you don’t have to worry too much. Mother will think about it.”
Even if Cui Shize was unwilling to marry his daughter, Madam Qu would still choose a suitable daughter-in-law for him.
Qu Yuanxian shook his head. “You’ve never seen the demeanor of the eldest daughter of the Cui family!” After seeing her, if he could still say this, Qu Yuanxian would not have sighed.
Qu Lianghua felt that no matter how good a woman was, she could not compare to a tenth of his deceased wife. It was enough as long as she could treat Xin’er and his unborn son sincerely.
Qu Lianghua followed his father to Woqian Town, and Qu Xin’er also insisted on going.
Qu Lianghua hesitated again and again, as if he wanted to test Cui Lingyi. In the end, he agreed.
When Qu Yuanxian found out, he shook his head secretly. He had even less hope for this marriage.
Moreover, he scolded Qu Lianghua sternly. This probing was not the work of a gentleman.
Qu Lianghua said stubbornly, “If she can’t even tolerate Xin’er, how can she be a daughter-in-law of our Qu family?”
Qu Yuanxian was so angry that he almost vomited blood. “It has nothing to do with you whether she is worthy of being one. Your mother will decide your marriage for you. I won’t interfere anymore, and I won’t mention your marriage to anyone.”
Qu Lianghua understood that Qu Yuanxian was unwilling for him to marry Cui Lingyi, as if he would harm other family’s daughter. It made him feel a little disappointed.
The carriage arrived at Woqian Town on the third day. Yang Gongbing had been waiting for a long time.
They temporarily settled in Qu Yuanxian’s house. As soon as Qu Xin’er entered, she said, “Father, their house is so small.”
Qu Lianghua hurriedly stopped his daughter’s childish words. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
This was the first time he had been so harsh to Qu Xin’er. Qu Xin’er was shocked. She wiped her tears and cried, “Father, you’re a liar. You said that you’ll always treat Xin’er well. You lied to Xin’er! You don’t like Xin’er anymore because you have a younger son.”
Qu Lianghua frowned. “Xin’er, be good!”
Qu Xin’er cried even harder.
Qu Yuanxian was angry. “Disrespectful. Apologize now!”
Qu Yuanxian’s aura could even scare ordinary people to tears, let alone a four-year-old child.
Xin’er was so frightened that she hugged Qu Lianghua’s thigh. She was timid, and tears were still hanging from the corners of her eyes. She kept sobbing but did not dare to cry loudly.
She looked extremely pitiful.
Yang Gongbing smiled awkwardly. “It’s alright. It’s just that my house is too simple-looking.”
Qu Yuanxian felt even more embarrassed and used his eyes to pressure Qu Xin’er.
Qu Xin’er looked at Qu Lianghua with tears in her eyes for help. Her father, who had always fulfilled her requests, only gave her a warning look.
Qu Xin’er’s heart sank.
They were right. Her father did not like her anymore after having other children.
Qu Xin’er burst into tears again. Her heart was broken and her breath seemed to be about to stop.
Qu Yuanxian could not do anything to her. Qu Lianghua looked helpless. In the end, he could not help but hug his daughter and comfort her. “Xin’er, don’t cry. Xin’er, don’t cry…”
The pregnant Liu Shaoting was filled with motherly love. She gently reached out and handed a jar of raspberry preserves. “Miss Qu, do you like preserves?”
Qu Xin’er suddenly raised her head and stared coldly at Liu Shaoting’s stomach. “A pregnant slut is not worthy of talking to me!”
She hated Lady Yun, who had abandoned her when she was pregnant, and Liu Shaoting, who was fawning on her with a hypocritical blissful expression.
Liu Shaoting was shocked. The jar fell to the ground, and the delicious-looking preserves fell to the ground.
Yang Gongbing hurriedly held Liu Shaoting, afraid that she would suffer an emotional blow.
Fortunately, the pregnancy stabilizing medicine that Gu Zhongxun prescribed had an effect. Although Liu Shaoting was frightened, she was fine. She even comforted everyone, “Miss Xin’er is still young.”
Qu Yuanxian was shocked and angry by Qu Xin’er’s vicious words. He pointed at Qu Lianghua and said with trembling hands, “Disgraceful, disgraceful!!!”
For Qu Xin’er to say such a thing, it was obvious that she had been taught poorly by Lady Yun. At this moment, Qu Lianghua had made up his mind to get married as soon as possible and discipline Qu Xin’er.
Everyone ate awkwardly at the welcoming banquet.
Fortunately, they were leaving Woqian Town for a short stay at Youjia village the next day.
In the carriage, Qu Lianghua was still educating the unhappy Qu Xin’er, who had been slapped in the palm. “You have to be polite when you meet people, understand?”
Qu Xin’er nodded. “Got it.” But her expression was forced.
Qu Lianghua sighed in his heart. After getting out of the carriage, he instructed the maidservants to keep an eye on Miss.
Qu Yuanxian was the same as Yang Gongbing at the beginning. He thought that the environment must be very difficult for Yang Quanzi and the others to live peacefully in the Jade Spiritual Mountain.
However, when he got out of the carriage and saw Youjia Village, which was like a paradise, Qu Yuanxian was stunned.
He looked at Yang Gongbing with an expression to confirm whether he had come to the right place.
Before Yang Gongbing could speak, Cui Shize and the others appeared together. Qu Yuanxian’s eyes lit up and he opened his arms excitedly. “Brother Shize! Brother Shize!”
Cui Shize hugged him. “Brother Yuanxian!”
After the pair of close friends, whom had not met for many years, greeted warmly, Cui Lingyi shouted generously, “Uncle Qu, long time no see.”
To welcome the guests that day, Cui Lingyi greeted them in a decent light blue dress. Her exquisite eyes were like that of Fairy Chang’e who had walked out of the Glacial Palace.
Even Qu Lianghua, who had heard that Cui Lingyi was outstanding, did not expect her to be so outstanding.
Especially her temperament. It was impossible to tell that she was a married widow. Instead, she was even more attractive than an unmarried girl.
Qu Lianghua’s heart skipped a beat, but he suppressed the intense throbbing that he had never felt before.
After exchanging pleasantries at the entrance of the village, Qu Lianghua and the others moved into the Cui family’s house.
Qu Yuanxian and Qu Lianghua were brought to the cleaning paper production workshop, and Qu Xin’er was taken care of by Madam Cui.
She didn’t want to be with Madam Cui and shouted that she wanted to go back to her room, but she sneaked into the garden with the maids.
...
The gardens between the Cui family’s villas were connected and people could walk through.
Cui Lingyi’s garden was the most beautiful. The flowers were colorful, and butterflies danced as if they had entered a dreamy world.
Qu Xin’er smelled the fragrance of the rose and could not help but be attracted. She walked forward step by step.
The maids reminded her, “Miss, Second Young Master said that you can’t barge in everywhere.”
Qu Xin’er looked back at them unhappily and continued walking. Anyway, these maidservants did not dare to do anything to her.
The maidservants had no choice but to get someone to inform Qu Lianghua.
Under the grapevine tree, there were a few tempting snacks on a few plates on the stone table. Especially the flower-shaped cakes, they attracted Qu Xin’er’s attention at one glance.
Children could not escape the temptation of snacks. Qu Xin’er could not help but approach, but she was stopped by the servants waiting in the garden.
Qu Xin’er frowned. “I want to go in!” With that, she pushed the servants and slipped to the stone table.
These flowers cakes were all edible flowers that Cui Lingyi and Bai Wutong had personally picked early in the morning and made step by step. There were only a few plates in total. They were specially prepared as a congratulatory gift for Yang Quanzi’s birthday.
The servant was a little panicked and hurriedly sent someone to call Cui Lingyi and Bai Wutong, who were in the house.
