The next day, she woke up and saw an arm around her waist, and she shouted: "Ah~~!" ”

"Can you wake me up gently!" Woken up by her screams, Hu Qingyan's slightly tired voice.

Bai Xiaoduo turned around and saw that the person lying next to him was Hu Qingyan. "When did you climb into bed? I don't know. ”

"After you don't sleep, of course."

Bai Xiaoduo sat up angrily, picked up a pillow and smashed it on his chest, "Did I say let you go to bed?" What do you want to do when you climb into my bed? ”

"If you let grandpa know that we sleep in separate beds, they will misunderstand that you are not good, and they are more likely to suspect that there is something wrong with our relationship." Hu Qingyan hugged her pillow in his arms, and the reason for the nonsense was slippery.

"You're just making excuses to take advantage of me." Bai Xiaoduo's cheeks and pillows were snatched away, and he couldn't continue to smash him.

"You are my wife, how can I say that I take advantage of you, husband and wife should sleep together, do you say!" He raised an eyebrow, a flattering smile.

"Sleep on your head! You've slept enough on your own, huh! Bai Xiaoduo walked out of bed angrily, didn't want to talk to him anymore, and walked out of the bedroom angrily.

Bai Xiaoduo walked to the small hall on the first floor and met Huang Shufen, she kept her due politeness, smiled and greeted, "Auntie, good morning." ”

Huang Shufen shook her face, snorted angrily, and said: "Running around the house in pajamas, I don't have the temperament of a noble lady at all, and at first glance, I don't have a stinky girl with a tutor." ”

"I just woke up and forgot to change my pajamas and go downstairs," Bai Xiaoduo was very aggrieved, but she forgot to put on her pajamas and went downstairs for a while, and she needed to be scolded.

"No matter what you say now, you are barely a young lady of our family, don't do anything to disgrace our family, and disgrace us." Huang Shufen's words were full of disgust, more because she was unpleasant to the eye, and deliberately provoked a lot of thorns.

Bai Xiaoduo smiled politely, "I'll pay attention next time." ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to change eating." Huang Shufen also added a sentence and left proudly.

Bai Xiaoduo was so angry that her teeth were itchy, and she wanted to be scolded for no reason. It's not that she cares about her, it's Hu Qingyan's stepmother, I really want to give her two punches.

……

When she returned to the bedroom, Hu Qingyan had already washed up and changed into a leisurely casual dress.

Seeing his little wife's indignant face, he asked casually, "What are you doing?" More angry than just now, who is angry with you again. ”

"Your stepmother is really underwhelmed! She cares about what I wear. Speaking is even more slanderous, making people want to tear her apart. Bai Xiaoduo complained indignantly.

"You don't need to pay attention to her, she's just a superfluous person in the family, and you don't need to care what she says."

"That's easy! It's not you who scolds her. She was sulking and unhappy.

"It's okay, I'll help you get her back next time." Hu Qingyan gently touched his shoulder, and comforted him with gentle words.

"She's your stepmother, you can be scared if you say it! Aren't you afraid that your dad will be upset? Bai Xiaoduo blinked at him, feeling that their father-son relationship was very ordinary, and he could speak completely regardless of his father's feelings.

"Do you think I have to be a stepmother to her! My dad is not happy, what does it matter to me. Hu Qingyan said very ruthlessly, and he didn't care about his so-called father at all.

"It's your father, you don't care?" Bai Xiaoduo couldn't understand him, he had no feelings for his father.

"He's him, I'm me, why should I care about him." He said it very affectionately, and there was no father-son relationship at all.

Bai Xiaoduo was silent and did not continue to speak, feeling that something unpleasant must have happened between their father and son, which made him so indifferent and ruthless to his father.

***

The two of them want to accompany the old man in the old house for two more days and do a lot of filial piety. It's just that Bai Xiaoduo is bored in the house, and she doesn't want to talk to someone, and she has to look at Huang Shufen's face from time to time.

On this day, Bai Xiaoduo saw two girls in the yard, one looked like a barbaric daughter, followed by a delicate and lovely little girl, cowering and lowering her head.

The brutal daughter looked vicious, pinching the little girl's arm fiercely, "Why are you walking slowly?" ”

Cheng Shuman's hands trembled, and he fell to the ground with his hands in his hands.

"Do you want to die? These gifts were given to my uncle and grandfather. If it breaks, can you afford to pay for it! Cheng Yaqing looked evil, poked her forehead with her fingers, and cursed.

"I didn't mean to, because my arm hurt so much, so I accidentally slipped my hand and fell off." Cheng Shuman squatted down in a panic and picked up the gift box.

"I pinched your arm, do you still feel wronged?" Cheng Yaqing clasped her hands on her chest and stared at her with fierce eyes.

Cheng Shumanan shook his head miserably, not daring to say anything, he had long been accustomed to this kind of beating and scolding.

"Cheap dead girl, look at you like this, you owe a beating." Cheng Yaqing looked vicious, scolding people with a small mouth.

"Scolding people needs to be so vicious!" Seeing that the little girl didn't dare to speak up when she was scolded, the barbaric daughter was arrogant, and Bai Xiaoduo didn't consciously speak out.

"Who are you? Dare to criticize me. Cheng Yaqing looked angrily at Bai Xiaoduo standing there. It's just that this stinky girl hasn't seen her in the house before.

"Servants are also people, you don't need to use your hands to beat and scold at will!" Bai Xiaoduo couldn't look at it, seeing that this little girl thought that she was a little maid, so she needed to suffer from the temper of Miss Ruan.

"It's just a servant, what if I beat and scold! You are born to be cheap. The corners of Cheng Yaqing's mouth twitched, and she spoke very harshly. It's like she's the queen, and everyone is her maidservant.

"You're born cheap." Bai Xiaoduo couldn't help it and muttered in a low voice.

Cheng Yaqing's ears were sensitive and she heard what she whispered. Cheng Yaqing stepped forward, directly pinched Bai Xiaoduo's arm, and scolded fiercely: "You lowly servant, dare to talk to me like this." ”

"What are you doing? Who is a lowly servant. Bai Xiaoduo glared angrily, and actually treated her as a domestic servant.

"You're not a servant, you still think the protagonist is." Cheng Yaqing snorted coldly, "Don't think that this is my uncle's and grandfather's home, I can't do anything to you." ”

"Do you still want to eat me?" Bai Xiaoduo gave her a white eye. No matter how she says it, she is a young lady of this family, she is just a cousin, and she is pretending to be the boss here.

Cheng Yaqing's eyes were red with anger, no one dared to contradict her, and she raised her hand to slap Bai Xiaoduo hard.

Her hand intercepted in mid-air, and Hu Qingyan's voice concealed a hint of coldness: "Cousin, why do you just beat people casually?" ”

Seeing that it was Hu Qingyan, Bai Xiaoduo was silent and saw what he would do.

Cheng Yaqing held Hu Qingyan's arm and coquettishly told the wicked to sue first: "Cousin! Your maid actually shouted at me, and was not polite at all, and forced me to teach her a lesson. ”

"She's not a domestic servant, she's my newlywed wife." Hu Qingyan put his arm around Bai Xiaoduo's shoulders and proudly introduced his wife.

"You've got a wife?" Cheng Yaqing had a stunned expression on her face, she was dressed as an ordinary girl in front of her, she was actually his newlywed wife, how could he like a mediocre girl.

"Yes! She was my new wife. Hu Qingyan looked at Cheng Yaqing with a smile, as if there was no invisible pressure on her. You should call her cousin. ”

Cheng Yaqing bit her lip, as if she was reluctant. "Cousin-in-law."

Bai Xiaoduo smiled brightly, looking like an elder. "Good, nice to meet you."

"Shiman, why don't you stand quietly and don't come forward to talk to me." Hu Qingyan looked at Cheng Shiman and saw her standing aside like a poor puppy.

Cheng Shiman took two steps forward, bowed his head cautiously, and whispered slightly: "Cousin." ”

I heard her call Hu Qingyan her cousin. Bai Xiaoduo was quite surprised, "She's also your cousin?" ”

"She's my little cousin, Shiman." Hu Qingyan's indifferent expression introduced this little cousin to Bai Xiaoduo.

Bai Xiaoduo couldn't understand how his little cousin could be bullied like a little maid, and he didn't dare to say anything at all.

"Hmph, she wasn't born to my mother. Cousin, you don't need to recognize her as a cousin. Cheng Yaqing disdains her very much, and feels that Cheng Shiman is not worthy of being a member of their family.

"We are cousins with our cousins, not cousins with our cousins. She is my cousin's own daughter, so naturally my cousin. Hu Qingyan seemed to smile, "Did you say?" ”

He deliberately didn't give Cheng Yaqing face, and he could guess how mean Cheng Shiman was, so that Bai Xiaoduo could see it, so he would quarrel with her.

Cheng Yaqing's embarrassed but polite smile was what Hu Qingyan said, of course she didn't dare to refute it.

"Okay, you guys go in and talk to grandpa!" Hu Qingyan said indifferently.

"Cousin, let's go in first." Cheng Yaqing smiled and said to Hu Qingyan, and did not look at Bai Xiaoduo with her eyes.

The two of them walked into the house, Cheng Yaqing disliked Cheng Shiman walking in front, she hit her hard, making Cheng Shiman's foot almost fall.

Bai Xiaoduo looked at it all, "Do you need to be so ruthless!" Are they really sisters? ”

"You care about my little cousin." The corners of Hu Qingyan's lips rose slightly, looking at her uneven appearance, she had a sense of justice.

"Is she your little cousin? How do I look like a little maid who is being bullied. She was a little sarcastic, they were not as good as a maid to the little sister in the house.

"Shiman is the illegitimate daughter of my cousin and an outside woman, and Yaqing is the only daughter of my cousin, so her mother and daughter don't like Shiman very much." Hu Qingyan said casually.

"You rich people have such complicated families, there are big wives at home, and there are daughters of little wives outside." She sounds so much like a bloody relationship between a wealthy family.

"Things are complicated in their family! Shiman is even more pitiful, she has been bullied by her cousin, mother and daughter since she was a child, and she can't keep silent, no one will protect her. Hu Qingyan sighed silently, he felt very sorry for this little cousin, seeing that she was being mistreated by her aunt and sister.

"What about her mother? You can't let your cousin bully her daughter like that. Bai Xiaoduo frowned and asked curiously.

"After my cousin gave birth to Yaqing, it was not suitable to have children, and my cousin wanted a son very much, and there was a woman outside. After the woman became pregnant, she also intended to force her cousin to abdicate. But she only gave birth to a daughter. My cousin ignored their mother and daughter. In the end, the cousin gave the woman a sum of money and drove her away, leaving only Shiman behind. My cousin resented this illegitimate daughter even more, and she didn't give Shiman a good face since she was a child, and Yaqing treated her as a servant. Hu Qingyan said slowly.

"The woman received the money and ran away, she didn't even want her daughter." Bai Xiaoduo listened attentively and also asked questions.

"She didn't have this daughter very rare, her cousin didn't care about them, of course she chose to take the money and leave, Shiman is more like a burden to her." He shrugged his shoulders, a woman like this who is a junior for money doesn't have much family affection to speak of.

"There is such a ruthless mother! Your little cousin is so pitiful, she was ruthlessly abandoned by her mother, and she was meanness to your cousin mother and daughter, how could they treat the little girl like this. Bai Xiaoduo is full of sympathy, she just saw Cheng Shiman being abused by her sister like that, and they can think about it at home on weekdays.

"Uncle Cousin rarely pays attention to this little daughter, and the two aunts are quite excessive to Shiman on weekdays." Hu Qingyan sighed helplessly, after all, it was a matter of his cousin's family, and it was inconvenient for him to ask more.

"It's not excessive, it should be abuse! Your eldest cousin is very skilled in pinching people's arms, and she does a lot of things on weekdays. Bai Xiaoduo snorted contemptuously and coldly, she can poison her own sisters, and it looks like Cheng Yaqing should often practice pinching people at home.

Hu Qingyan was silent and didn't say much, there were some things that he couldn't ask more about, after all, it was a relative's family matter.
