The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Seeing Xiang Lian's curious gaze, Qing Yin temporarily decided not to tell Xiang Lian about a gangster who had visited her boudoir at night, so as not to scare this honest maid. She smiled and said, "A few days ago, my eldest brother had someone give me an ointment, and I took it out to take a look."

"Oh." Xiang Lian nodded in understanding. The young master... Well, if it weren't for all the accidents, Xiang Lian would really be grateful to the young master for his love for the young lady. Now that she understood the "reason" why the young master liked her, Xiang Lian was not as happy as before.

Considering his status as a young lady, it’s no wonder that he treated her so well. It turns out that those gifts were compensation.

She pouted, but she didn't want to spoil the young lady's fun, so she held it back, but a hint of it showed on her face after all.

Qing Yin understood, and her eyes became serious: "My elder brother and I are not wrong in this matter. Now is the best ending for us, A Lian, you have to know."

Xiang Lian froze. Looking at the girl's gentle yet determined eyes, she blushed and replied, "Yeah."

Although she was the one being scolded, Xiang Lian felt that the lady in front of her was even more dazzling.

—

The Left Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital city delivered an envelope to the residence of Minister Lin.

Mrs. Lin looked at the words in the envelope and her face turned pale, then red, and then blue.

Lin Zerui looked at her expression and knew that the affairs of their Lin family had reached his father-in-law, causing his dissatisfaction.

He sighed and asked, "But father-in-law?"

Mrs. Lin had a bitter face and said, "Well, father asked us to bring Qingqing to Bai Mansion for him to see."

"Yes, Qingqing is back, and it's time for her to see her father-in-law." Lin Zerui took a deep breath. No matter what, his eldest daughter who returned could bring him more benefits.

While waiting for the news of the couple to reach Qingyin's ears, Qingyin was playing shuttlecock with two maids.

"Hahaha, young lady is really amazing. This shuttlecock made of chicken feathers is really interesting."

The girl's face was full of moving powder puffs, and Qingyin hummed.

While waiting for the servant's voice to interrupt Qingyin's play, Qingyin still felt a little unsatisfied.

"Miss, the Madam and the Master want you to come to the East Courtyard."

Qingyin raised her head, "Father and mother are looking for me?"

Looking at the strange servants, Xianglian and Baihe consciously walked to the young lady's side and protected her.

The servant, who was stunned by the beauty of the young lady, blushed and nodded in trance, not daring to stare at the beautiful young lady anymore.

"Ah."

Qingyin nodded, "Then you go back first, I'll come after I change my clothes."

"Yes, Miss." The servant left respectfully.

Looking at the servant's back after he left, Qingyin said to Xianglian, "Alian, put away the shuttlecock first, Baihe, accompany me to change clothes."

"Yes." They both answered in unison.

……

Ten minutes later, Qingyin changed into a refreshing, inconspicuous light blue corset dress and walked towards the East Courtyard.

—

In the main house of the east courtyard, Father Lin and Mother Lin sat high up in the hall, their eyes lit up as they watched the beauty walk into the room, which seemed to be brightened by the light.

Why does Qingqing look more beautiful?

Father and Mother Lin thought in a trance.

"Father, mother," Qingyin bowed to the two of them. When she finished speaking, the two of them seemed to wake up. Madam Lin looked at Qingyin lovingly and carefully, and said, "Qingqing, is there anything you need these days?"

"Thank you for your concern, mother. The things in the yard were prepared by mother and father. There is nothing missing." Qingyin answered obediently.

The expressions of Lin's father and mother became softer.

"Well, sit down quickly. You haven't recovered yet. You need to rest more."

Qingyin smiled gently, looking delicate and charming, and turned around to sit in her seat.

Looking at the girl's weak and gentle posture, the two men remembered more and more that their daughter was a widow who had just lost her husband. Thinking of how the two men had ignored her these days, Father and Mother Lin felt more or less uncomfortable, and their attitude towards Qingyin became softer and more guilty.

Speaking of marriage, and seeing his daughter's soul-stirring face, Father Lin couldn't help but probe Qingyin's future marriage and mood: "Well, Qingqing, now that you're home, have you ever thought about finding a husband in the future?"

"I," Qingyin's eyes were filled with tears, revealing a kind of intoxicating sadness, which matched her stunning face, which was simply heartbreaking.

It also makes people feel more pity for depressed beauties and those whose anger causes them to be sad.

At once, many servants in the room, including Lin's mother, came and stared at Lin's father. He opened his mouth again and again, but could not utter the following tentative words.

Moreover, when Father Lin looked at his eldest daughter who was hanging her head weakly below, even though he was a heartless man, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and regretted saying these words directly.

Looking at Lin's father who turned his head away and didn't look at Gan Qingyin, Mrs. Lin secretly glared at him a few times. What a stupid brain! Which woman would be asked to change her husband so soon after losing him?

Qingqing must be very sad now. Madam Lin couldn't vent her anger. Looking at her grieving daughter, she comforted her softly, "Qingqing, don't be afraid. If Qingqing's husband were still alive, he would surely hope that Qingqing could be happy."

"I know, mother. If Amin were still alive, he would definitely want me to move forward. Now that I have the care of mother and father these days, I have understood." Qingyin's tone seemed normal, but when she talked about her husband who passed away young, she smiled and revealed a few crystal teeth.

But in the eyes of Lin's father and mother, Qingyin, who had just shed tears and then smiled, made them feel that their eldest daughter was deeply hurt. She was forcing herself to smile, and she felt even more guilty and self-blaming in her heart.

Oh, what a fool they are! Why do they suddenly mention Qingqing’s unlucky husband?

"Well, Qingqing, just think positively. In the future, your father and mother will find you a good man who is handsome, talented, famous and wealthy. Let us, Qingqing, choose one carefully." Father Lin said, thinking in his mind which good man with a name and a reputation is worthy of his eldest daughter.

Qingyin lowered her head, hummed melancholy, and used her sleeves to cover the slightly raised corners of her mouth. Tsk, she pretended to be so sad and melancholy in front of Lin's father and mother. Of course, she did this specifically to guide Lin's father and mother.

This would also prevent Lin's father and mother from matchmaking for her so quickly.

Seeing their eldest daughter calm down and with slightly red eyes, Father and Mother Lin told her the purpose of formally calling Qingyin here today.

"Your grandfather will come to see you after he finds out about your situation. Qingqing, come with us to the Zuo Xiangfu to meet your grandfather later."

"Okay." Qingyin agreed obediently.

Father and Mother Lin have already prepared the carriage.

Because of Qingyin, the two men specially gave the more comfortable and spacious one of the two carriages to Qingyin.

As the curtains of the carriage rolled down, covering Qingyin's face, Qingyin was no longer as sad as before.

She leaned lazily on the soft pillow with her eyes slightly closed, while Xiang Lian carefully and gently massaged Qingyin's calves.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and only a slight vibration could be felt inside the carriage.

"The lady is here." Xiang Lian called Qingyin in a low voice.

Qingyin opened her sleepy eyes, blinked, and the sleepiness disappeared immediately.

Under Xiang Lian's service, Qing Yin followed Lin's father and mother and walked forward without caring about the astonishment of the servants in Zuo Xiang's residence.

Zuo Xiangfu.

The servant who reported the incident said to the old man above in a daze, "Master, the young ladies are here."

"You're here, why are you in such a hurry?" Bai Zuoxiang glared at the dazed servant and said.

"I'm sorry, sir, then..." The servant saw that the master on top was angry, so he lowered his head and knelt.

Looking at the servant who was one of his confidants for a long time kneeling down pitifully, Prime Minister Bai Zuo did not pursue the responsibility too much. He waved his hand and signaled the servant to go away, thus interrupting the servant's unfinished words.

Father and Mother Lin walked in tremblingly, and quietly glanced around.

Fortunately, my father still gave them face and found a room to meet them alone.

Father and Mother Lin breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and respectfully saluted the old man at the top.

"The daughter/son-in-law has met the father."

Looking at the expressions of the couple below, Prime Minister Bai Zuo snorted coldly.

"Oh, do you two still have me as your father in your eyes? Nan Xu made such a big decision on his own without even consulting me. That's really good, really good!"

Bai Zuoxiang was filled with anger as he looked at the two nervous couples in front of him, especially when he thought about how his eldest grandson Lin Nanxu, whom he had personally trained and had high hopes for, was taken away by this couple.

He became more and more angry as he spoke, and he threw the teacup in his hand in front of the two of them.

The teacup fell to the ground with a sharp sound, splashing a pool of water.

The whole room suddenly became cold due to this piercing sound.

Father Lin was sweating profusely, and although he was feeling a little resentful, he didn't dare to say anything.

Mother Lin knelt beside him, trembling, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly cold.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you think my words, as an old man, don't carry any weight?" Bai Zuoxiang looked coldly at the couple below and said sarcastically.

How could Father Lin remain silent after hearing what his father-in-law said? Even a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his eyes, and he dared not blink when his eyes were stung, and said, "Father-in-law, the son-in-law dare not."

"Don't dare? I think you dare very much."

……

Qing Yin, who was blocked behind the two men, listened to the conversation beside her and secretly felt lucky that she was blocked by Lin's father and mother. This experienced and cunning Prime Minister Bai was really not easy to deal with.

They talked for a while. Qingyin watched Lin's father and mother constantly apologize and her grandfather's impatience and a few words that were full of curse words before she heard her grandfather mention her.

"By the way, where's Qingqing?"

Father and Mother Lin's expressions froze, and then they remembered that their eldest daughter had followed them.

Thinking back to when the two men thought the matter was troublesome and deliberately asked their daughter to follow them…the couple’s faces turned bad as their eldest daughter saw the whole process of them being scolded.

Bai Zuoxiang looked at their expressions and felt a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, after the couple he scolded, Qiqi Aiai knelt down with a red face and moved her body away, revealing a small white face with a hint of timidity and extremely outstanding appearance.

Father Bai's face froze, and he immediately understood why the servant who had followed him was so panicked.

Qing Yin, who was staring at her grandfather, smiled gently: "Grandfather."

Damn, this couple is socially dead, and they want him to be socially dead too.

What should I do if I become socially awkward in front of my granddaughter the first time I meet her?

This issue is very topical for Bai Zuoxiang.

Bai Zuoxiang smiled gently at Qingyin with a stiff face: "You are Qingqing, right? My dear granddaughter, please go out first. Grandfather and your parents still have something to say. They will come to see you later."

Five minutes later, Qingyin, who had left the inner room, was placed by the servants with great attentiveness in a quiet and comfortable side yard to rest.

The servants in the mansion were extremely attentive. They not only brought snacks along the way, but also exchanged fresh fruits and hot tea with great diligence.

After waiting for half an hour, Qingyin finished a pot of hot tea and two plates of cut fruit before she saw her biological grandfather walking towards her with a kind face.

Compared with the grandfather's previous extremely serious expression, it was really shocking.

Qingyin thought to herself, bowed her head and saluted respectfully to this meritorious and famous grandfather.

"Qingqing has met grandfather."

"Well, the child is fine. You have suffered a lot." Bai Zuoxiang quickly helped up his extraordinarily beautiful granddaughter, his eyes full of amazement.

His quick glance earlier turned out to be correct; the appearance of his granddaughter was... truly stunning.

Prime Minister Bai Zuo looked at his granddaughter in front of him with sparkling eyes. He didn't know whether his granddaughter's appearance was a blessing or a curse.

The well-informed Prime Minister Bai Zuo sighed in his heart. Father Bai, who had lived a long life and seen a lot, had even seen the favorite concubine of the late emperor who was known to be a disaster. But if that concubine was compared with the granddaughter in front of him, there was a world of difference between them.

Such beauty would definitely be a disaster if she married into an ordinary family. So, it seemed that the future husband of this granddaughter would have to be of a higher rank. Father Bai thought carefully in his mind which young and talented man would be worthy of his granddaughter.

As for those who are too old and ugly, Prime Minister Bai Zuo never considered them at all. Haha, he is the prime minister, and those ugly ones are not worthy of his granddaughter.

Qingyin, who was quietly looking at the old man in front of her with a sharp gaze and seemed to be in a daze in front of her, felt helpless, but still waited quietly by the side.

While waiting for Bai Zuoxiang to wake up, he looked at the quiet and elegant girl beside him, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Qingqing has a good personality and is not arrogant or impatient. In this case, her husband should be taller.

Yes, some women are proud of their beauty, and what they fear most is men who are arrogant or think they are smart. If such women are allowed to marry, it will either be a happy event or an enmity.

Father Bai thought for a long time, but still couldn't decide which good man was worthy of his Qingqing.

In the end, he had to let the matter go and chatted with Qingyin for a while before letting Qingyin go to meet her grandfather, Mrs. Bai.

Mrs. Bai's personality is obviously much better than Lin's mother's.

The first time she saw Qingyin, she couldn't help but hold Qingyin's hand, smiling and praising her for a long time. When she left, she also gave Qingyin several of her treasured accessories.
