Under Grandma's enthusiasm, the two children soon couldn't resist and started playing along.
Marquis Qingping was happy to see it, and he also observed Shen Qingyu from time to time.
Shen Qingyu also graciously allowed him to observe.
The mother-in-law also served Shen Qingyu tea and snacks. Shen Qingyu tasted them and they tasted very good.
This snack looks very small, just one bite.
But it tastes layer by layer, filled with bean paste filling, glutinous rice flour, and baked with thousand-layer puff pastry...
There are also translucent flower-shaped ones with sauce made of rose petals inside.
This is no ordinary dim sum from a dim sum shop.
Because this snack takes too much work, if you follow this method, you will have to sell it at a sky-high price.
Shen Qingyu secretly marveled: Qingping Houfu is quite rich?!
How can I afford such a skilled private chef!
But Qi Yunxiao said before that Qingping Houfu relied on him to make money from his mother's dowry?
Qi Yunxiao is so generous to his stepmother and father?
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but Shen Qingyu couldn't place it.
At this time, Qingpinghou also started chatting with Shen Qingyu.
Of course, as a Marquis, his aura is natural, and he is naturally condescending.
Therefore, even if you try your best to be friendly, you still feel the pressure is obvious.
"You were in the village. I heard that life was very hard in the past?"
Shen Qingyu nodded: "Yes."
"How is your place lately? I heard there was a drought before?"
Speaking of this, Shen Qingyu could still talk about it, so he talked for half an hour.
Marquis Qingping listened very carefully. When Shen Qingyu finished speaking, he asked again: "Since you have helped them find the spring water, why do you still want to help them find ways to make money?"
Shen Qingyu spread his hands: "Uncle Li Zheng said that there are still some fields that cannot be irrigated, and some people are so hungry that they have to flee. Even if it rains, the rice planting season will be missed."
"We can't watch them starve to death, right?"
"Why can't we watch them starve to death?" Qingpinghou asked seriously.
Shen Qingyu looked at him strangely: "They are all villagers who can't see each other when they look up, and they are all related to each other. If I have the ability to help, but I still watch them starve to death, I will have an uneasy conscience."
Qingpinghou was moved: This little village girl actually has such a big heart!
And you can say it so sincerely and openly!
Just when Qingpinghou wanted to praise his noble character and integrity, Shen Qingyu grinned: "Besides, I still have money to make?"
Qingpinghou: "..."
Okay, my idea is too one-sided.
When it comes to making money, Shen Qingyu said clearly: "I sell the braised pork very well. People in the village help me make it. I pay them wages. If they can survive, I can also make a lot of money."
"And those bean sprouts, all the guests in Guiyun Tower love to eat them. I heard that some of them even cured their constipation after eating them... I just need to hire someone to sprinkle water on them."
"There is also a sweet potato flour workshop. Although it doesn't make much money, it is what needs manpower the most, and the whole village benefits."
"As a result, the folks in our village will starve to death."
After Shen Qingyu finished talking about her business, she looked at Qingpinghou happily and said her final conclusion: "So I can support my children by myself, and I don't need you to be responsible."
"If you feel that my existence will threaten the Houfu's future property inheritance, I can also write a letter of guarantee to ensure that I and my children will not need every stitch or penny from the Houfu in the future."
So, I can make money, I don’t need to rely on you.
Therefore, I am not a burden.
So, can we leave safely?
Shen Qingyu's eyes were so magnanimous that it took a while for Marquis Qingping to react.
Is she showing off her ability to make money in order to protect herself?
Qingpinghou felt extremely guilty.
"I can't help you. Don't worry, I will ensure the safety of you and your children."
But Qingpinghou's promise did not make Shen Qingyu relax.
"Can I take my child back to Hengshui Town?"
Qingpinghou looked at Shen Qingyu deeply: "With your knowledge, you should know that if your child stays in the capital, he will have a very good husband."
"I don't want to." Shen Qingyu shook his head without hesitation.
"Not even if it's for the sake of the children?" Qingpinghou couldn't believe it.
Isn’t it said that all mothers in the world are dedicated to their children?
Shen Qingyu explained seriously: "I agree with what you said. There will definitely be more good academies in the capital, good teachers, and children can see more of the world..."
"But the water in this capital city is too deep. My children, I don't want them to have to face all kinds of covetousness and plotting before they are deeply involved in the world."
"I will protect them." Qingpinghou solemnly promised.
"I do not believe you."
Qingpinghou: "!!!"
Shen Qingyu was afraid that he would misunderstand: "It's not that I don't believe in your intentions, I just don't believe that you can take care of me all the time."
"The most powerful person in all dynasties is the Tian family royal family, right?"
"Are the various guards thorough enough?"
"But look at those phoenix sons and grandsons, how many of them have never suffered any assassination and can grow up safely?"
After saying this, Shen Qingyu regretted again: Why did she talk about royal affairs when she had nothing to do?
If someone with a heart listens to this, what if he is accused of treason or something...
Modern people’s thinking still hasn’t fully adjusted, which is unfortunate!
You should be more careful next time.
While reflecting on herself, Shen Qingyu laughed dryly: "I'm sorry, my metaphor is inappropriate. I am just a country woman, talking nonsense, don't mind."
Little did he know that the Qingpinghou across the street was already having thunder in his head.
Yes, you can send secret guards, nannies, and all kinds of capable people...
However, the fact is that as Shen Qingyu said, his children have also been framed, poisoned, and tricked...
Because the danger does not necessarily come from the killer, it may come from anyone around you...
People who don't seem to have any interests on the surface, people who are loyal, people who are strangers to each other, may stretch out their sharp claws when they are unprepared...
Shen Qingyu was uneasy: "What, if there is nothing else, how about I go back to the room first?"
Qingpinghou came back to his senses and looked at Mrs. Qingpinghou.
Mrs. Qingpinghou was smiling with her face and eyes as she watched the two children gesturing at the exquisitely crafted Luban lock in her hands, trying to unlock it.
"How about you go back first? I'll ask someone to take the two children to the backyard later?"
Shen Qingyu shook her head decisively: "No need, I'll just wait here."
Seeing Shen Qingyu just waiting silently, Marquis Qingping suddenly became interested in Yuqiao.
"The little lady who came here with you also has the same temperament as you?"
Shen Qingyu looked at him in surprise: "You mean Yuqiao?"
Qingpinghou nodded.
Shen Qingyu thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing to hide, after all, the whole Hengshui Town knew about the commotion.
If Qingpinghou really wanted to know, he only needed to send someone to ask casually, and he would know everything.
So Shen Qingyu told the truth: "Yuqiao is more willful than me."
"Oh?" Qingpinghou was really curious now.
More wanton than Shen Qingyu?
Shen Qingyu is already unexpectedly confident and willful. Is there anyone more confident and willful than her?
