Chapter 306 Figured it out
When Qin Huiyin opened her eyes, she saw Xia Ruwan sitting next to her in her underwear, her eyes almost catching up with a national treasure.
"You won't be awake all night, will you?"
Xia Ruwan looked at her sadly: "You have no conscience. I can't sleep, but you sleep soundly."
"Have you forgotten what I'm going to prepare next?" Qin Huiyin got up, found the clothes she was going to wear today from the closet, and began to dress up.
Xia Ruwan turned sideways, looked at Qin Huiyin's neat figure, and said, "I've been thinking about what you said all night."
"What did you come up with?"
"I remember when my father and my mother were together, my mother had never smiled so happily before. That little man made my mother feel the shyness of a young woman. I remember the look in my mother's eyes when she touched her belly. It was a kind of love I had never seen before. Rather than being jealous of that child, I envy him. That child can make my mother happy, and that little man can make my mother feel like a young girl again. My mother is happy now. As her daughter who has been protected by her for so many years, I should not be the executioner who destroys her happiness."
"I'll just watch. If that man isn't a good guy, I'll chop him down with my own hands. If he could really bring happiness to my mother, why would he be such a bad guy? Yinyin, you can accept your stepfather, so why can't I? Am I narrow-minded than you?"
Qin Huiyin said with a smile while combing her hair: "You are using me to convince yourself. However, you are right. I can accept it, so why can't you accept it? As children, as long as our mother is happy, nothing else matters."
"I'm so sleepy. I want to take a nap." Xia Ruwan lay back down.
Qin Huiyin combed her hair and put on the hairpin Song Ruize gave her.
"Then go to sleep. I'm going to get busy."
As soon as she arrived at the front yard of Sister Food City, Li Taohua rushed over from the opposite side, hugged her, and called out, "My dear daughter, mother misses you so much."
"Mom, I came back last night." Qin Huiyin said, "You were not here when I came back, so I didn't wait for you."
"I just found out you're back too. If I'd known you were back last night, I definitely wouldn't have played mahjong with them." Li Taohua pulled Qin Huiyin over and over again. "You've lost weight. Did you not eat or sleep well this time when you were out? Did that Chamber of Commerce president give you any trouble?"
"No, everything went well."
Qin Huiyin and Li Taohua were talking in front of the stone table in the backyard.
Tang Dafu brought breakfast and said to the two of them, "You and your daughter haven't seen each other for several days. I'm sure you have a lot to talk about. Let's have breakfast here!"
"Sister Luwu, have you eaten yet? Uncle Tang, you haven't eaten either, right?" Qin Huiyin said.
"An important member came early this morning and specifically requested a full treatment on the fourth floor. She said there was a banquet this afternoon and she wanted to outshine everyone else. Lu Wu is currently receiving that distinguished guest. I've sent someone to bring her breakfast to the fourth floor so she can eat when she's free. I have things to do, so I'll be off first."
After Tang Dafu left, Qin Huiyin and Li Taohua told each other what happened in the provincial capital.
"This military factory... My daughter, I know you always have ideas, but you have to understand that this matter is not so easy to handle. If your work is excellent, you will definitely be rewarded by the court. However, there is another possibility, that is, it is not done well. As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. It is best for us not to get involved with people in the military."
"Mom, I've already promised to go out. I have to give it a try no matter what." Qin Huiyin said, "Many roads are made by walking. If we retreat when we see a little thorn ahead, we will never reach the end."
Li Taohua took her hand and patted the back of her hand: "Mother doesn't have any big ambitions. In my opinion, you are already doing very well now. Even if you say that you have reached the end now, that is not bad."
"Mom, is there any news from big brother?"
"It's almost time, but there's still no news."
"Where's my brother?"
"No," Li Taohua said, "but a few days ago a merchant caravan delivered a cage of pigeons. I wasn't there at the time, so I didn't hear what the merchant said. The guy who received the goods happened to be on leave, so he didn't report the message, so the chefs thought the pigeons were for cooking. Luckily, when I came back and heard about the cage of pigeons, I felt something was wrong and rushed to the kitchen to rescue them. I took a closer look and found that these were not ordinary pigeons, but carrier pigeons."
"Carrier pigeon?" Qin Huiyin was surprised. "Who sent it?"
"Your elder brother is busy studying for the imperial examinations and only brought one attendant and one servant with him. I'm sure he doesn't have the extra energy to do this."
Then there's only one person left.
"Mom, where are the pigeons?"
"I set up a small room to keep them." Li Taohua looked around and pointed in a direction.
"Mom, you eat first, I'll go take a look." Qin Huiyin stood up and was about to go see the pigeons, but was pulled back by Li Taohua.
Li Taohua poked her forehead. "Everyone says you're mature and steady, wise beyond your years, but to me, you're just a little fool. At this hour, what could be more important than filling your stomach? Stay still, or I'll take all those precious pigeons of yours and make roast squab."
"Okay!" Qin Huiyin sat back down. "Mom, Wan'er found something when she came home yesterday. It was a bit shocking. Do you know what it was?"
"Her mother's matter?"
"you know?"
"Ever since her mother wanted to adopt you as her adopted daughter and I rejected her, we've been seeing each other more often. Yunniang is quite good-looking, but to support her family and the Xia family's fortune, she has to be more masculine than any man, even dressing and looking as old-fashioned as possible. I deliberately changed her style and then took her to the fourth floor for a full range of skincare services. As expected, she looks younger and more energetic as she gets older."
"I was the first to notice the look in that little beggar's eyes when he looked at Yunniang. Yunniang only had business on her mind, not men at all. Even if there was a little man looking at her so passionately, she didn't feel anything at all. I specifically reminded her of this, but she didn't believe it, saying how could a man like her at her age. Even if a man showed her attention, it was only for her family property, not for her. I made a bet with her, saying that this guy really liked her. She didn't believe it, and couldn't resist my provocation, so she agreed to the bet."
Qin Huiyin became curious and asked, "What bet did you make?"
"I arranged for several people to assassinate Yunniang, pretending they were sent by her bastard ex-husband. He protected Yunniang until the very end, but he sent her away, leaving him alone to face the beating of twenty men. Yunniang couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to stop the next move. She apologized to the guy, saying it was a scam and there was no assassination at all. But the little man said, 'That's good, you won't get hurt.'"
