The old lady's birthday is very successful, the officials of Qingzhou Mansion, the rich family have come to congratulate the birthday, so they received a lot of birthday gifts, the third lady in charge of the family is very busy, until noon is about to pass, everyone enters the arranged Four Seasons Garden in the smoke and rain building to watch the play, she has a while.

Qingyan looked at Li Wanru sitting next to the old lady, and always felt that there seemed to be other meanings in her indifferent complexion, especially in the depths of her eyes, which seemed to be a little impatient, and seemed to be full of shame.

When something goes wrong, it's a demon, and she thinks to herself for a moment, and then she keeps an eye on it, wondering what she's going to do.

Sure enough, as soon as the old lady ordered a scene of "Drunk and Fighting the Tiger", she left the table with a tired face under the help of Mama Li. Qingyan saw the direction she was leaving, as if she wanted to go back to the peony garden to rest, it can be seen that she was walking in a hurry but not tired, but more urgent, and her curiosity increased greatly.

"Sister, it's convenient for me to go, and I'll be back in a while!"

She got up indifferently, confessed, and pulled Yi Han to leave steadily, towards the thatched house in the bamboo forest, and then as soon as she entered the forest, she drilled into the rockery, turned left and right in it, and pulled the puzzled Yi Han towards the hundred gardens.

"Brother-in-law, where are you going?"

She was only three steps away from walking out of the rockery, but suddenly heard Qingchangmei's loud shout.

"Why is the eldest sister here? My mother only asked why the eldest sister didn't watch the show! ”

It was the voice of the third lady Li Wanru, although she tried to stay calm, there was still a little anger in her voice.

"You don't have to look to him, I just ask you, where are you going?"

"I've been busy all morning, and I want to go back to my room to rest for a while!"

"Really? So why didn't you go back directly, but you went around here? ”

"Naturally, I want to see the flowers and plants in the garden!"

"Really? I thought you were going to go to the Lotus Pavilion! ”

"Eldest sister, what do you mean?"

"Why bother with advisors? I only advise you, now that you are married to the third brother, put away that thought, I don't say it, but not to save your face, but for the sake of the family. ”

"Why did the eldest sister say this? Didn't I live with my lord? If so, how could Long'er and Brother Lei be born? ”

"You don't have to quibble so much, whether the relationship between you and your third brother is superficial love and harmony, you know in your heart that I am here to stop you at this time, not to do this war of words with you, but to let you recognize the facts! If you don't listen to the advice and insist on going your own way, I will never spare you! ”

"I-"

"Needless to say, don't think that no one knows, why don't you think about it, since I got married, whether it is the New Year's Festival or my parents' birthday, I have never returned because of the lockdown at home, and I don't want to make my parents sad, but when I return home this time, I should be able to think that the purpose of my return is for this matter. That's it, you're doing it yourself! ”

Qingchangmei turned around and left, Qingyan hid in the rockery, kept the conversation between the two in mind, guessing that it should be the third lady who had other belongings, and was informed by her aunt that she returned home this time, one is to congratulate her mother on her birthday, and the other is to warn the third lady, who wanted to come to the plum garden that night when the third lady went to the plum garden, she had been reprimanded, so she would leave with an ugly face.

I just didn't expect it, but just two days later, she forgot her aunt's reprimand, and came out to have a private meeting with the old lady on her birthday, which was really bold.

"Wanru—" Qing Changfu's deep voice was full of affection and tenderness.

"You informed her?" She reproached angrily.

"Yes! I'm sincere to you—"

"Enough, although my heart is not in you, but I also have children for you, support your parents, I have done everything I should do as a wife, why are you so greedy? To take away the only paradise in my heart? ”

"Wanru, you know that I have a deep affection for you, so you can't put your heart on me? Why cling to feelings that don't belong to you? ”

"Humph! How you married me in the first place, you know, I know! It's disgusting to say this now! ”

"Wanru, how can you say such words? I've explained it many times, and when I fell in love with you at first sight, I fell in love with my mother—"

"Needless to say! I won't believe anything you say, and I don't want to quarrel with you here, you go! ”

"Wanru—"

"Let's—"

The third lady whispered sadly, Qing Changfu sighed, and walked farther and farther, leaving her and Mama Li standing in place.

"Madame, what's the matter? The old man is not wrong, that person is just a cloud in the sky to his wife, a lotus flower on the snow-capped mountain, which can be seen, touched, and asked for. Why are you so persistent? ”

"How can I not know this, Mama? I just think about it when I was supposed to be a family affair with him, but I don't want to be kicked by someone, although I am also a green wife, but my heart-"

"Madam, marriage is predestined, I can only say that you have no fate with him!"

"I also know, but I am not reconciled, no matter what, I want to ask, has he ever had me in his heart? Even if it's just for a moment, I'm content. ”

"What if Madame knows? Whatever his answer was, it was nothing more than self-inflicted trouble—"

"Don't talk about it, let me go find him! This is my last chance, as long as it is past today, no matter what his answer is, I will bury this love in my heart, from now on I am the third lady of Qingfu, he is the fourth master of Qingfu, and Jiang Yingyue's slut - husband. ”

"Madame—how can you?"

"What are you afraid of, there's no one else here anyway, let's go ——。"

Qingyan and Yihan were in the rockery, and their faces suddenly changed greatly, and they never thought that the person she was obsessed with was actually her father, which shocked her and made her angry.

How deep is the father's love for his mother, she knows better than anyone else after three lives, how can she be tempted by this woman who does not abide by women's morals?

Thinking of Qing Changfu's deep affection for her, it is not difficult to think of why the third room is always for the fourth room, and why does he insist on killing his family in that life, and what man in this world would allow his wife to pretend to be another man in his heart?

Thinking that the disaster of her family was caused by this woman's self-inflicted affection, she was furious, took Yi Han's hand and walked out of the rockery, and went straight to the Lianyuan Pavilion from the other direction, she knew that her father Qing Changgui was now there to greet guests.

"Fourth Master—"

However, before she arrived, she heard the soft drizzle of the third lady's charming voice from the weeping willow forest by the lotus pond, which was different from the fierce words in the face of Qing Changfu, but more affectionate and gentle.

"Third sister-in-law? How could it be you? Didn't you say that the third brother was looking for me? ”

"Nope! It was I who borrowed the name of the third master to call you out, you don't call me the third sister-in-law, you just treat me as Li Wanru back then, we met that year, you praised me for knowing people, gentle and virtuous, and then Qingfu came to the door to propose marriage, it is also a matter of you and me, who would have thought that in the end I would marry the third master, now I just want to know, have you ever had me in your heart? Even for a moment? ”

"Why did the third sister-in-law say this, when you first said that you were married, it was your relationship with the third brother, although I don't know where you heard these nonsense, but as long as you think about it, the third brother has not yet married a wife, where will it be my turn?"

"Nope! It's not like that—"

"Third sister-in-law, don't think nonsense, you are my third sister-in-law, this life is my third sister-in-law, and I only have Yingyue in my heart, I don't want to have a next time! Leave! ”

"Changgui—"

"The third sister-in-law, please be cautious, there are a lot of guests in the house, if it spreads, do you want the reputation of the third sister-in-law? Do you want the reputation of Qingfu? ”

"But how can you like the merchant's daughter?"

"Shut up! I respect you as the third sister-in-law, and I don't take your shamelessness at this time to heart, but it doesn't mean that you can insult Yingyue, what merchants are not merchants, in my heart she is the best woman in the world, and please pay attention to your words and deeds in the future! ”

Qing Changgui left angrily, Li Wanru came from the heart, looking at his resolute back, she only felt that her heart was like ashes, she never thought that he would not like herself, and she never thought that his feelings for Jiang Yingyue were so deep, she was unwilling, unwilling to lose to the daughter of a merchant, unwilling to live this life with Qing Changfu, who was a businessman.

Merchants are the most humble and cheapest people in the world, she never thought before she got married, she would marry a merchant, even on the day of the wedding, she thought she was marrying Qing Changgui, until the candles in the cave room, she suddenly understood that she was already the wife of a merchant.

"Madame, go back with Mama! I'm afraid the old lady is looking for you! ”

Mama Li sighed, helping her sluggish to walk towards the Four Seasons Garden, all the way, she was crying silently, and the jealousy and unwillingness in her eyes were deeply imprinted in the eyes of Qingyan who was hiding behind the weeping willows.

"Miss—"

"Yi Han, keep an eye on her for me, as long as she is wrong, even if it is insignificant, I will tell her, I don't believe that she can still gain a foothold in this Qingfu with such a disobedience to women's morals? Also, send someone as soon as possible to find out what she embezzled from the treasury? ”

"Yes!"

Yi Han immediately replied, she knew that the sixth lady was really angry this time, and the third lady was afraid that she was going to be planted this time.

Qingyan turned to take Yi Han to the Lotus Yuan Pavilion, since she came here, she wanted to take a look at her father, although she witnessed everything, but she was still a little uneasy in her heart.

Standing a hundred meters away from the Lianyuan Pavilion, seeing her father, who can be easily used by a rich person, an official, or a romantic and talented man, her heart finally landed: thinking that although her father was rigorous and tactful, he was a person who acted uprightly, and if he was disturbed by other things, he would not be so casual and natural at this time.

Back to Yanyu Building, the old lady's favorite "Drunk Tiger" is nearing the end of life, she quietly glanced at the third lady, saw her smiling and beautiful, and danced with long sleeves in the crowd, if it wasn't for the previous things she saw with her own eyes, she would not have thought that she would make a move to seduce a married man with a married woman.

"It's really not good to be the person in charge of the family, and his acting skills and scheming are all excellent!"

Yi Han lowered her head and whispered, Qingyan listened to it, and it was rare to cover her lips and smile, this was the first time she had heard her mock others in such a serious tone.

"Sixth Miss, you let the slave maid be easy to find, Chen Dong hurriedly came to find the slave maid's father, saying that he wanted to meet you!" Jasmine Liu panted and ran to her, whispering in her ear.

"Where is he now?"

"The plum house in the backstreet of Liufangzhai!"

"You go to Yixuan and ask her to arrange it, I'm going to leave the house tonight!"

"Yes!"

Qingyan watched the play silently, she had an intuition that the news brought by Chen Dong this time must be the key to all her actions.
