"Your new identity has been arranged by the master. From now on, you will change your name to Qi Yin. Remember, don't show off in the future, just stay in the mansion. Although Taifu's mansion is not a relative of the emperor and a famous family, But it’s more than enough to give you a place to live and settle down.”
Yan Huiran waved her hand, and the maid beside her immediately handed over a post.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Master and Madam. I'm very grateful."
When Qi Yin took the identity card with both hands, the child in her arms suddenly woke up and started crying. She was startled and knelt down in panic.
"Madam, please forgive me. Brother Ying is still young. Madam, please spare my life."
Her voice was filled with tears. Before Yan Huiran could speak, she was already kneeling on the ground and quickly kowtow to apologize. In the blink of an eye, her forehead was already bruised.
Qi Yin's son, Su Tingye, was named Ying, but he had not yet given a given name.
Aunt An was a little displeased when she saw this scene: "Ms. Qi, my wife didn't even say anything. Why are you crying like this?"
Aunt An was a legitimate daughter of an official family. Although she was called Aunt An after a meritorious official, no one knew that she had been granted a marriage by the emperor.
Even if it is a concubine, she is a noble concubine, comparable to an ordinary wife, far beyond what Aunt Liu and Qi Yin can share.
After Yan Huiran fell ill, she took care of the house's account books and daily management.
As for Qi Yin, not only was he a sinner, but in their eyes, he would not hesitate to climb into a man's bed for the sake of glory and wealth, but he also came to the door with a secret knot.
Su Tingye certainly made mistakes, but Qi Yin made them even more contemptuous.
After all, Qi Yin is only a few years older than Su Zhen, so Su Tingye can be her father!
Therefore, the more Aunt An looked at her, the more displeased she became.
Qi Yin curled up, as if frightened, sobbing quietly.
"Auntie, I didn't do it on purpose. I was just afraid of disturbing everyone."
"Look at what you said. It seems that we are evil people both inside and outside the words. This master is not in the house, so who are you pretending to be weak and pitiful to show to whom? Do you really think that someone will help you?"
Aunt Liu also disliked her. Although Su Tingye never went to her place on weekdays and stayed in Yan Huiran's courtyard or study every day, except for her and An Rusu, she had no other concubines.
Now that Su Tingye regards this bitch as a treasure, I really wonder if his eyesight is dim.
"My aunt misunderstood, I didn't mean that. Not long after Brother Ying was born, I came to the house on foot. He may have caught a cold and kept crying."
There were tears in Qi Yin's eyes, and she patted the child's back gently to comfort her, but it still didn't get better, and the crying became even louder.
Everyone present knew that she entered the house as a concubine, and they were both disdainful and somewhat pitiful.
Aunt Liu picked up the tea cup gracefully and took a sip of tea. Although she couldn't stand Su Zhen, the three conditions Su Zhen proposed this time were really satisfying.
"Ms. Qi, it seems that you are not very satisfied with my father's arrangement?"
Su Zhen opened the bead curtain and walked in, smiling and looking at Qi Yin who was kneeling on the ground.
Qi Yin turned around and glanced at Su Zhen. After being amazed by her appearance, she seemed to be frightened. She lowered her head, curled up into a ball, and hugged the child tightly in her arms.
In a few words, she acted out a drama of eagerness to protect her son and deep love between mother and son.
When people who don't know about it see it, they will really think that they are a big family who are messing around and have no tolerance for others.
"I saw the eldest young master, and I was taken care of by the master and his wife. I am grateful in my heart and dare not complain."
"Don't you dare to complain? Do you still have resentment in your heart?"
Su Zhen squatted down, took out the fan from her waist, raised her chin, clicked her tongue twice, and said with a smile: "Although she is not a beauty, if you look closely, she is attractive, especially these eyes. How can you tell?
No wonder the spiritual energy can capture my father’s soul.”
She was so slender and had a good appearance. Qi Yin's face turned red and he hurriedly stepped back.
Without thinking, Su Zhen stretched out her hand in front of her again. Qi Yin's expression immediately changed, thinking that Su Zhen had evil intentions, and the haze in his eyes flashed away.
Everyone was also shocked. No matter how unbearable Qi Yin was, she was also from Su Tingye. Wouldn't Su Zhen fall in love with her?
Su Zhen chuckled, and cleverly snatched the still crying baby from her hand. She teased the baby with her index finger and made a face to pretend to scare her. The baby actually stopped crying and looked quite cute when she smiled.
"This is my younger brother? Does he have a name?"
Qi Yin held her breath, fearing that Su Zhen would hurt her child.
"Go back to the young master and call him Brother Ying."
Su Zhen nodded, and then shouted in surprise: "Hey! Why are you kneeling on the ground all the time? The ground is cold, kneeling is hurting your body, and my father is still going to make trouble for us! You think we are bullying you!"
Qi Yin was stunned. It was rumored that Su Zhen was cruel and ruthless. Her ruthless methods of torture and extorting confessions in Jiangdu had long been known to everyone. Now that she was so polite, she didn't know how to deal with it.
Su Zhen had a great time teasing the child in her arms. When she looked up, she saw that Qi Yin still refused to get up, so she smiled and said: "Mo Shen, why are you so weak-minded? How can I teach you this on a daily basis?"
Yours? You have to respect the old and love the young, why don't you help people up quickly?"
Qi Yin froze and secretly glanced outside, feeling a little flustered.
She fully expected Su Tingye to come back soon, but someone grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
"Thank you, young master, for your concern."
Even though I'm reluctant in my heart, I still have to do the hard work on the surface.
"By the way, Mr. Qi, I will help you investigate your father's case thoroughly."
Qi Yin's eyes suddenly became strange, and then he knelt down and thanked her again.
"Thank you very much, young master! I will come to my whole house to thank you for your great kindness!"
Su Zhen finally frowned. Apart from kneeling down and pretending to be pitiful, this woman had nothing else to do? She thought she could have some fun, but that's all she was capable of?
Boring!
"Ms. Qi, you keep kneeling down all the time. It would be terrible if the cool air on the ground passes to Brother Ying! Even though you are a few years older than me, you are still a mother after all. You don't know the importance of it!"
In my opinion, it is better to leave Brother Ying to be raised by my two aunts."
Su Zhen seemed to be speaking for the good of Qi Yin and the child, but Qi Yin turned pale with fright. This child was her biggest support in Su Mansion. Without this child, she might be kicked out of the house at any time.
.
Aunt Liu was used to being arrogant, so she laughed without mercy.
Qi Yin kowtowed a few more times and hurriedly got up from the ground.
"Thank you for your teachings, young master. I will definitely take good care of myself and Brother Ying in the future! No need to trouble the two aunts! By the way, before I entered the mansion, I kept hearing from the master that my wife was not in good health, so I went to Yunshuang specifically.
The temple prayed for my wife and brought back a Buddha statue. With the blessing of the Buddha, my wife will definitely get better soon."
As she spoke, she took out a slender three-inch wooden box from her cuffs.
