farmer's wife

Chapter 209
The next day sent Xiao Jian away, Fu Yan carried Nuo Nuo back to the Yongyi Mansion with Qingque Xueyan.

"Hey, let me hug Nuonuo, but you think of me." Qi Tong waited for them in Mingyutang, and happily took Nuonuo and hugged her in his arms.

While teasing the child, she asked Fu Yan, "Is everything all right at home?"

"Alright, don't worry, Princess."

"Is the ice that was delivered earlier run out? I can't tell Butler Wu before I can send you some more. It's very hot in this damn weather, you have to be careful, don't get heatstroke."

"It's enough, and people at home should always pay attention to avoiding the heat."

"That's good."

Fu Yan asked unintentionally: "Speaking of avoiding the summer heat, Tianling won't come back until autumn, right?"

"That's right, Mrs. Duanminghou is afraid of the heat, so she has to avoid it every summer."

Fu Yan was thoughtful, then she smiled and said, "I brought some ice cream here today, the princess should try it too."

"That's great, I was just thinking about your craftsmanship. Qing'er, go and prepare some melons and fruits to eat and bring them to Tinghe Mansion, let's go there to cool off." Qi Tong turned his head and told Zhong Qing.

"Young maidservant, let someone go over and clean it up." Zhong Qing led a few little maidservants out of the room first.

Fu Yan waited for a while, then got up and said, "I'll go and see the sorbet, and make a few glasses of juice to drink with it."

Qi Tong was hugging Nuo Nuo to tease her, and responded casually: "Well, you can go. Just come and listen to He Xia in a while."

Fu Yanliu Xueyan followed Nuonuo, and she led Qingque out.

Halfway on the way, Fu Yan stopped and told the little maid and Qingque who were leading the way: "Qingque, go to the big kitchen and make a few cups of sour plum juice. I'll go to Hesha first to see how Miss Zhong is doing. .”

Qingque glanced at Fu Yan and lowered her head.

The little servant girl who led the way asked respectfully: "Maidservant lead Biao Young Madam to listen to He Xia?"

Fu Yan smiled gently: "No, you and Qingque go to the big kitchen together. Listen to Hexia and I know how to get there."

"Yes."

Seeing the two walking away, Fu Yan went to Ting He Mansion from the garden path alone.

Listening to He Xia, Zhong Qing is instructing the little maids to tidy up.

As soon as Fu Yan walked into the yard, Zhong Qing saw her.

She greeted her with a smile: "Why did Mrs. Biao come here alone? Hurry up, sit in the room first."

"I asked Qingque to see how the pastry was prepared, so I walked over here first."

The living room in front was still being cleaned up, and Zhong Qing led Fu Yan to a small resting room near the lake.

Open the window, the lake is sparkling, and the breeze brings the fragrance of lotus.The pink and white lotus flowers are swaying in the wind, slim and graceful, and they are too beautiful to behold.

Fu Yan leaned against the window sill, her gaze fell on the lake calmly, but what she said made people inadvertently appreciate the beautiful scenery.

"Ms. Zhong, I saw something here. I think I should talk to you first."

"Young lady, if you have anything to do, just say it."

"I have a shop in West Market. I heard an interesting story from the neighbors in the shop a few days ago."

"A new family has moved into the back street. I heard that the master and the servant came to Yunjing to visit relatives. The young lady is twenty-eight years old, and that family often has a son who comes to visit quietly this month."

Zhong Qing's body stood up straight and tense.

Fu Yan turned her head to look at her, "I met that young master from a distance before, and his profile looks familiar. After asking someone to ask, I heard that his surname is Yang."

Fu Yan knew a young master surnamed Yang who was familiar with him, and even came over to tell her, who could this person be?
There is only the young lady's husband-in-law's family in their house, and the relatives in Duanming Hou's house are surnamed Yang!
Zhong Qing looked cold and solemn, thousands of thoughts rolled over his mind.

"I've made it down, my maidservant. Thank you, Mrs. Biao, for your reminder." Zhong Qing bowed her knees and saluted Fu Yan respectfully.

The voices of Princess Nuonuo and others came from the front yard.

Fu Yan said softly: "I didn't find out the truth about this matter, and I have to trouble Mrs. Zhong to send someone to find out. If it's just a nonsense, the princess will not be hurt again."

"Don't worry about it, servant girl. Butler Wu and I will investigate and report the truth to the princess after we get to the bottom of it." Zhong Qing has been serving Qi Tong for so many years, and to say something disrespectful, he has long regarded the young lady in the house as his own child.

If it is true that the eldest son of the Marquis of Duanming was confused and made a mistake, this matter must not be resolved, and the Duke of Yongyi will also seek justice for the young lady.

Fu Yan nodded and walked over: "Princess and the others are here, let's go there quickly."

In the hall, Nuonuo was playing hide-and-seek with a few little maidservants, running staggeringly.

Qi Tong sat on the side and looked at the children kindly, reminding them to slow down from time to time, so that Nuo Nuo would not fall.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Qing was stunned, as if time and space had returned to Ye Tianling's childhood, when Nuo Nuo was the same age, she was a small person, smiling and growing up surrounded by maids, while Qi Tong And she has been watching and protecting.

Time flies, and now the former children have grown into slim girls and married.

The shyness of returning home in three days is still vivid.

If this is true, where should the proud daughter of heaven who has been pampered and cared since childhood go?
When Nuonuo saw Fu Yan, she stopped chasing the maids and ran towards her mother, calling her sweetly.

Fu Yan smiled softly, and hugged her coquettish daughter.

Qi Tong smiled and asked: "Where did you two go? I haven't seen you since I came in."

Fu Yan came to Qi Tong's side and replied casually: "Ms. Zhong took me to see the lotus. The lotus in the lake is in full bloom. It's a special scene."

Qi Tong also liked the lotus in the pond, and agreed after hearing the words: "That's not true. You also like to appreciate lotus. Let's go and sit on the second floor, so we can see farther."

"it is good."

Qi Tong supported the little girl's hand to get up, and Fu Yan followed her with the child in her arms.

"Qing'er, Qing'er?" Qi Tong stood on the escalator and called suspiciously, "Why are you standing there? What are you thinking about in a daze, come here quickly."

Zhong Qing came back to her senses, walked to Qi Tong's side calmly, and said with a smile: "I just fell in love with you, our lady was so lively and cute when she was young."

Speaking of the past, Qi Tong couldn't help laughing: "Yes, the little people are wandering around my feet. At that time, when I came to admire the lotus, I had to go into the water to pick it..."

On the small couch next to the window on the second floor, everyone ate snacks and melons and fruits while admiring the flowers and talking and laughing. Seeing Nuo Nuo leaning on the window and looking at the lake seriously, Qi Tong dotingly called people into the water to pick lotus for Nuo Nuo to play with.

Fu Yan and Zhong Qing talked and laughed freely throughout the whole process, never letting Qi Tong notice the slightest difference.

In the evening, Xiao Jian and Ye Tianze also came back from school, the children ran up and down, hearing that the He Mansion was more lively.Everyone simply stayed in Tinghe Mansion for dinner before Fu Yan brought them back home.
