The Yun family invited Qin Xiaoxiao's aunt and nephew to visit her in the name of admiring chrysanthemums. If there were no flowers to enjoy, they would inevitably arouse suspicion. So the aunt and nephew chatted with Mrs. Qin for a while, and then followed Yun family to the flower room.

As soon as they left, Mrs. Qin immediately dismissed several maids and coaxed Qin Zhichen out, leaving only Mother Liu.

She looked at her son who looked motionless, not believing that he had no doubts in his heart: "Huai'er, tell the truth to mother, did you do anything outside back then..."

Qin Huai heard the unfinished meaning in Mrs. Qin's words and shook his head: "No."

Mrs. Qin asked: "Xiaoxiao, this kid looks so much like you. Did you accidentally follow other people's rules?"

Qin Huai's eyes were filled with confusion, but he still shook his head: "Impossible."

It is indeed impossible. He had calculated based on Qin Xiaoxiao's age before. At that time, he was still a small editor in the Hanlin Academy. Even if he got the favor of Shangguan, he would not attract jealous people.

If he was really being plotted by others, it was impossible for him to have no impression at all.

Hearing the affirmative answer, Mrs. Qin didn't know whether to be disappointed or relieved: "Well, when I saw the little girl for the first time, I thought she was very kind. I want to recognize her as my granddaughter. You and Yun

The whole thing didn’t happen until everyone agreed.”

She did not suspect that the Yun family was causing trouble. In order to stabilize the position of the head wife, she replaced Qin Xiaoxiao, a girl, with a man, Qin Zhichen. In her heart, the Yun family had neither the brains nor the courage to do such a thing.

Qin Huai suddenly felt guilty and couldn't help but said: "Why don't I discuss it with the Qin family..."

"No need." Mrs. Qin waved her hand, interrupting her son's proposal: "This girl looks too much like you. If she rashly accepts a marriage, she will be suspected and her reputation will be ruined."

Speaking of this, she suddenly hit the handle of the chair and said excitedly: "Chen'er is about the same age as her. Isn't this a perfect match?"

Even though Qin Huai had an exquisite heart with seven orifices, he never expected that Mrs. Qin would come here. He rejected it without hesitation: "No!"

When Mrs. Qin heard this, her old face tightened: "Why, eight years ago you didn't let your mother recognize your granddaughter, and eight years later you still want to stop your mother from recognizing your granddaughter-in-law?"

"Mom, this is not appropriate..." Qin Huai pressed his twitching forehead, really not knowing how to explain it.

You can't just tell Mrs. Qin without any evidence that the grandson she thinks is not her grandson, but the grandson-in-law Xiao Xiang thinks is her biological granddaughter.

Although it is said that Mrs. Qin is very likely to be reluctant to let go of the grandson she has raised under her knees since she was a child, she will increasingly want to take her granddaughter back in the name of marrying her granddaughter-in-law.

But Qin Huai is not Mrs. Qin, and he can't hold the sand in his eyes. Once the speculation in his heart turns into reality, he will never allow mistakes to happen under his nose!

"Humph, if you can't tell me something today, don't blame me for going to your father's memorial tablet and crying that you are unfilial!" Mrs. Qin stared at Qin Huai, acting like a child.

Qin Huai was so helpless that he had to pull out Qin Zhichen who had already walked out and give him a blow: "Mom, you have seen this little girl's talent and intelligence just now. Do you think Chen'er is worthy of her?"

Mrs. Qin's face stiffened and she spoke for her precious grandson: "Chen'er is just playful, not really stupid. If you teach him well in the future, he will definitely be good."

This time, she did not use her background to compare. She knew very well that her grandson was white, and no one knew whether he would pass the examination or not. In terms of talent, knowledge and appearance, a little girl paired with a grandson would be like a delicate flower planted in cow dung.

Pity.

"Mom, my two children are still young. Let's put the marriage aside for now and wait until Chen'er becomes a scholar." Seeing Mrs. Qin's relaxation, Qin Huai also took a step back to stabilize her before talking.

Mrs. Qin had no choice but to warn: "Then you have to worry more. It is best to make Chen'er a scholar next year, otherwise the little girl will become someone else's granddaughter-in-law."

Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

Qin Xiaoxiao in the flower room didn't know what Mrs. Qin was thinking. She didn't like flowers very much, and she really couldn't see what was good about the few top-quality green peonies that Li Yingran and Yunshi praised.

"Xiaoxiao, Mrs. Qin and I have something to talk about. If you feel bored, go out for a walk." Li Yingran saw her niece's boredom, so she found an excuse to let her play by herself.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't get what she asked for, and saw that Mrs. Yun didn't want to see her, so she gave them a blessing: "In this case, I won't disturb Mrs. Qin and Third Aunt."

Mrs. Yun really thought she was eye-catching, so when she heard this, she immediately sent the maid next to her: "Take Miss Qin to the yard for a walk."

The maid took the order and respectfully led Qin Xiao out of the greenhouse.

Qin Xiaoxiao had something on her mind and wanted to find a quiet place to sort it out, so she said to the maid who was leading the way, "Sister, please take me to the waterside pavilion that I just passed by. I can just sit there."

The maid felt relaxed and happy, and soon took her to the waterside pavilion.

This waterside pavilion faces south, and now the sun is gradually climbing to the top of the head, casting a dazzling light around the waterside pavilion.
