The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 18: Big girl is such a idiot!

Soon after, He Songning walked out of Xue Qingyin's yard.

The young man hurriedly came up to him and asked, "Master, are you going to Qingfengyuan now?"

Qingfengyuan is Xue Qinghe's residence.

He Songning paused and said, "Go and say hello to mother."

The boy was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he hurriedly followed He Songning to the yard where Mrs. Xue lived.

The mother-in-law who was guarding the door suddenly woke up from her drowsiness when she saw He Songning, and said hurriedly: "Madam has already fallen asleep. If anything happens to the young master, why don't you come back tomorrow."

In the past, He Songning would have gone back to rest after hearing this, and would only send someone to deliver something to Mrs. Xue tomorrow.

After all, there is no mother-son relationship, he is just playing the role of a qualified and polite "son".

But today, when He Songning heard these words, he suddenly understood more meaning.

...Mrs. Xue didn't really fall asleep.

She just still had resentment in her heart, but she didn't know how to face her son, so she sent him away.

He Songning's eyes flickered and he said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, I'll just kowtow at the door."

When the mother-in-law heard this, she was stunned.

Then she realized what she was doing and led He Songning inside with a smile on her face: "The eldest young master really has a pure and filial heart!"

In the past, when He Songning heard such compliments, he felt nothing in his heart.

It was only today that he felt a little uncomfortable.

Because he knows that he has never had any "filial piety".

What He Songning was thinking in his heart didn't show on his face.

Following the woman all the way to the door, she lifted up her clothes and knelt down on the ground.

The servants were all startled and asked quickly: "What are you doing, Master?"

He Songning had never knelt before Mrs. Xue in the past.

After all, Mrs. Xue is very easy to coax, and he has many tricks.

Once Mrs. Xue gets angry, she can be calmed down within two days.

He Songning felt that he was from a different background, so how could he kneel to Mrs. Xue?

But when he knelt down today, he didn't feel so uncomfortable for a moment.

He has never seen his biological mother.

Just like kneeling down to your biological mother...

Mrs. Xue inside heard the noise and hurriedly came over and opened the door.

She lowered her face and said, "What are you doing?" She was dressed neatly, and she was indeed not sleeping.

"I made a mistake. I had something to deal with during the day, so I didn't bother to confess to my mother." He Songning said solemnly.

Mrs. Xue bent down and wanted to help him, but she resisted. She asked, "Do you really know that you are wrong?"

There was a hint of choking in his tone.

He Songning was in a daze for a moment before continuing: "I know. I always felt that Qingyin had a naughty temper before. I lost the patience to be an elder brother and ignored her everywhere. So much so that I almost made a big mistake and cost her her life. How is my mother today? Protect her, and I will protect her in the future..."

Tears burst into Mrs. Xue's eyes immediately.

She couldn't help it anymore, and quickly grabbed He Songning's arm and pulled him up: "Okay, okay, just know it in your heart, don't kneel down. If you kneel for a long time, when it rains, your knees will... It hurts."

He Songning suddenly remembered what Xue Qingyin said, "Every time it rains, my mother's bones will hurt."

Mrs. Xue greeted him into the house and ordered someone to bring sweet soup.

"Wait... let's find something else. Your sister only likes sweet soup, you don't like this." Mrs. Xue said.

Mrs. Xue left He Songning talking in the room and let him go after finishing the soup.

It was so late that it was naturally difficult to visit Xue Qinghe again.

He Songning returned to his residence just like this.

In Qingfeng Courtyard.

The maid Qiuxin waited for who knows how long, and finally returned to Xue Qinghe dejectedly.

"I'm afraid the eldest son will not come today..."

A look of disappointment flashed across Xue Qinghe's face.

Qiu Xin said bitterly: "My wife must not allow him to come again!"

Xue Qinghe wanted Qiu Xin to stop talking nonsense, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips. Because she thought, besides this reason, what else could it be?

She lay down on her back and said, "Turn out the lights."

Qiu Xin had no choice but to respond.

The room soon fell into darkness.

The expressions of the master and the servant were shrouded in darkness and they could not be distinguished clearly.

Xue Qingyin had a dream that night. She dreamed that He Songning smiled at him, and then suddenly grinned, revealing his sharp and ferocious teeth.

Then she was so frightened that she threw herself into King Xuan's arms.

King Xuan stared at her with pity, "Good guy, he is scarier than He Songning!"

This sleep was not very comfortable for her.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xue was in a good mood today. During breakfast, she hurriedly called her over, touched her ears, and said: "If you have free time today, I will take you to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, as well as to the inside of the city." Walk around a few shops..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the dinner table was shocked.

Mrs. Xue turned around and asked, "Are An Ning free today?" "If you are free, I will accompany your sister. I can also introduce all the people under you to her."

He Songning's eyelids twitched: "What mother means is..."

Mrs. Xue smiled and said: "Your sister is still considerate. Isn't she thinking that you are too busy studying, so she asked me if I should think of some ways to reduce your burden. Unfortunately, my nephews are not very good at it. Keep up the good work... So I thought, I might as well ask your sister to take over. She is not young anymore, she can no longer just eat and sleep like she used to do!"

Mrs. Xue said this very appropriately, without mentioning that it was Xue Qingyin who took the initiative to ask for it, in order to avoid conflicts between the brother and sister.

But Xue Qingyin still felt a chill on her body.

He Songning was looking at her.

He stared at her deeply for a moment, then gently moved away.

He Songning responded: "I'm afraid I can't spare the time today, I'll ask Jin Xiang to follow. If there is anything in the shop on weekdays, report it to him first, and then send it to me."

Mrs. Xue smiled: "Okay, Jin Xiang has been a big shopkeeper, and he has always been smart. With him following, it will be much easier for your sister to get started."

Until the meal was over, Xue Chengdong didn't say anything.

He said that all the affairs of the family were handed over to Mrs. Xue, and he would definitely not interfere again.

He Songning sent someone to call the man named Jin Xiang.

Mrs. Xue went back to her room to get the account books and other things.

Xue Qingyin stood under the eaves and waited obediently.

"Qingyin is a little confusing." He Songning's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

His voice was low and playful.

Are you holding a grudge?

Xue Qingyin turned her head and looked at him, her eyes full of innocence.

She said, "Brother is so smart, what can't you understand?"

He Songning raised his hand and stroked her head, but didn't say anything else.

When did the change start? He thought.

Xue Qingyin in the past was like a beautiful bowl, and what was in the bowl was clearly laid out.

Xue Qingyin now is more like a thin-necked porcelain white jade. At first glance, it seems that the things inside can be seen clearly, but if you look closely, it is lingering with fog.

Interesting.

He Songning didn't know that at this time Xue Qinghe fell behind and watched him "gently" stroke Xue Qingyin's head.

Qiu Xin, the maid next to him, almost crushed her palm.

Mrs. Xue actually gave so many properties to a fool like the eldest daughter to manage!

The master actually didn't care about it!

Isn't he afraid that the Xue family's property will be ruined by her?

Now even the eldest son has reconciled with her...

They are in love with each other again...

What about our daughter?

Are we going to live the same life again?

Qiu Xin is really hateful!
