The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 20 Seizing Power
After a long while, Aunt Lin slumped down on the ground, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and murmured: "The cost of golden nanmu is 4 taels of silver, which is [-] less..." Her eyes were red with anxiety, and she looked at the man squatting in front of her. Qi Shaoan hugged him and cried bitterly: "My child, my aunt is useless, I can't send you to school."

Qi Shaoan took out the object from Gong Qinglan in his arms and handed it to Aunt Lin: "Auntie, here it is."

Aunt Lin took the two exquisite cleats and smiled bitterly. Even if they were pawned, they were far from each other.The next moment, the movements in her hands stopped, and Aunt Lin hurriedly opened the sachet, and took out a stack of bank notes, with a face value of 1000 taels, exactly ten pieces—1 taels!

Aunt Lin clenched her lips, cried and laughed excitedly holding the bank note, and said incoherently: "An'er, from now on your sister-in-law will be your mother... No, no, from now on you must treat your sister-in-law as your mother respect."

To avoid having long nights and dreams, Aunt Lin asked someone to deliver the letter that night.

On Gong Qinglan's side, she was anxiously restless.Looking at the heavy rain that was getting bigger and bigger, he paced back and forth with his brows furrowed: "Hongyu, go get an umbrella."

Gong Qinglan took the umbrella and went out, Hongyu hurriedly followed behind in a coir raincoat.

"Go back and make ginger soup." Gong Qinglan's clear voice was broken by the sound of the rain.Came to the Chuihua Gate, waiting for Qi Jingfeng.

"Young Mistress, servant girl is waiting. It's raining heavily, so you go back first." Hongyu's eyes were filled with anxiety, seeing Gong Qinglan's wet skirt, looking forward to the return of the Young Master soon.

Gong Qinglan looked cold, pursed her lips and remained silent.

Hongyu couldn't hold back Gong Qinglan, stomped her feet, turned around and ran towards the kitchen.

After waiting for half an hour, my legs and feet became stiff.The cold wind made Gong Qinglan shiver, she hugged the cloak tightly in her arms, stood in a place slightly sheltered from the wind, and saw the shivering red sleeves huddled in a corner.

Suddenly, Hongxiu got up suddenly, ran out with the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, stopped beside an approaching carriage, and immediately opened the umbrella and opened the curtain.

Qi Jingfeng's face was so pale that it turned blue, and he frowned displeasedly, raised his eyes through the opened car curtain, and looked at the person standing under the palace lantern, with a hint of warmth flowing from his eyes that were as cold as moonlight.

Holding the umbrella that Changfu opened, avoiding the red sleeves, she walked straight towards Gong Qinglan, and said softly, "I've been waiting for a long time."

Gong Qinglan smiled lightly: "I just came here." She stuffed the umbrella in her hand into his cold hands, shook off the cloak and put it on for him. "I ordered the kitchen to heat up the food. After such a long journey, I'm afraid I'm hungry."

Qi Jingfeng smiled warmly, and before he could speak, a voice as thin as a nightingale sounded behind him: "Young Master, you should drink the medicine first, so as not to attack the disease."

Gong Qinglan heard the reputation and looked around, and when she saw the woman's face clearly, she was fixed in place like a acupuncture point.

Mu Shuiyan?
is her!The only woman who gave birth to an heir for Qi Jingfeng in her previous life!
The next day, in Fangfei Garden, there was the sound of smashing porcelain tiles.

"Pa——" The crisp crackling sound made all the maids and servants on duty in the yard shrug their shoulders, not daring to breathe.

Seeing that the second lady had finished venting, Qin Nanny carefully avoided the fragments, held the tea, and handed it over: "Madam, calm down. The golden nanmu has been bought, let's pay more money, just buy it back." The old lady's favor cannot be lost, no amount of money can buy it back.

As soon as this incident was mentioned, the second lady became angry, and her face was gloomy: "Huh! You can pay 4 taels, why do you care about an extra [-] or [-] taels?" The hateful thing is that the wood was bought by that bitch of the Lin family!
Mother Qin's heart trembled, could it be...

"Last evening, Aunt Lin went to the eldest room to meet the young lady." Xianghui told all the news she had inquired about.

The second lady fell back in anger, and spat: "I underestimated that little bitch, tried twice, and actually joined forces with the Lin family to deal with me!" Mention Gong Qinglan's gnashing of teeth, ungrateful things!If it wasn't for her, with the status of the Gong family, how could she marry into the Qi family in an smooth manner?
At this moment, Mrs. Xu was so angry that she forgot what her original purpose was to let Gong Qinglan marry into the Qi residence.

Seeing that the second lady's face was cloudy, Mother Qin was a little cautious: "Ma'am, did you buy the wood for the young lady?" The old lady and the young lady have been at loggerheads. Could it be that they want to use the wood to please the old lady?
His face was a bit ugly, if the young mistress bought it, the wood would not be able to get back.The old madam talked about it many times in front of the second madam, and the madam kept thinking that if the eldest and young mistress donated it, the old madam might be prejudiced against the madam.

The second madam's eyes flashed viciously, Gong Qinglan would not be so angry if she respected the old madam.But what made her feel angry was helping the shameless concubine deal with her!
"Slut Lin is nothing more than wanting the little scoundrel to go to school. The old lady should show some filial piety to the antiques." The second lady's face was gloomy. She didn't expect that she would be put on by Gong Qinglan, and she suffered a dark loss! "Let Yan'er go with me."

After putting it away, the second lady took the antiques, followed by Mu Shuiyan, and headed towards the old lady's Longevity Residence.

Opening the curtain with a smile, he happened to see the old lady greeting Qi Shao'an cordially, and Aunt Lin and Qi Song were sitting on the chairs on the left.This harmonious scene made the second lady unable to hold back the smile on her face.

"You're here." The old lady looked at the second lady who came in, with a calm face, and said with a straight face: "I happen to have something to see you." As she said, she pointed to the chair on the right and motioned her to sit down.

The second lady's heart 'thumped', it seems that Mrs. Lin has already given the wood to the old lady!

Slowly sat down on the chair, with a stiff smile on his face.Pointing to Mu Shuiyan, she said: "Mother, this is my natal niece, Mu Shuiyan. Yan'er, quickly greet the old lady." The last half sentence said to Mu Shuiyan.

The old lady glanced lightly and snorted coldly.

Mu Shuiyan smiled softly, and saluted respectfully: "Old Madam, all blessings." Taking the antique from Xianghui's hand, he handed it to Lu Yi beside the old lady: "Old Madam, this is a small gift from my father, please You accept it."

The old lady loves money the most, and among them, she likes antique porcelain the most.Seeing Mu Shuiyan being so courteous, her face turned pale: "My in-laws are very polite, are you used to living in the mansion?" Looking up at Mu Shuiyan, she has round eyes, plump lips, exquisite figure, and is an extremely rare beauty. Son.Looking pleasing to the eye, the old lady had a smile on her face.

"I'm used to it." Mu Shuiyan received the wink from the second lady, her cheeks flushed slightly, she stirred her handkerchief and said, "Why don't you see my eldest cousin?" She looked around with misty eyes, a trace of doubt flashed across her eyes.

The old lady coughed in embarrassment, faintly displeased.

The second lady said with a smile: "Mother, Yan'er is a very lucky girl. She came from the south of the Yangtze River by water and got on the land, but she didn't have a carriage. It happened that she had a relationship with the young master in Jiangnan once, so she took it with her. Let’s go. I’m looking for her big cousin at this moment, I want to thank you.” The lonely man and the widow are alone, how can it affect the woman’s reputation. "My natal sister-in-law sent her here to find a good marriage for her..."
