Reincarnated as the Abandoned Daughter of a Marquis's Mansion: I Take Control of My Life
Chapter 17 First Meeting with the Old Madam
"My son, you've arrived. Please have a seat." The old lady smiled and patted the side next to her, gesturing for the Duke to sit beside her.
Which mother wouldn't be happy to see her son? She wouldn't be happy unless her son was there to collect a debt.
“Mother.” The Duke had just sat down when he looked up at his wife.
His wife's eyes were red; she had clearly been crying!
I know my wife's temperament; she doesn't cry easily. Something serious must have happened.
The Duke was indeed incredibly prescient. When he saw and heard it himself later, the old man cried even more dramatically than a woman.
"Zhenmei, what's wrong that makes you sad?" she asked with a worried expression.
The Duke only addresses Zhenmei as such in front of the Old Madam.
The old lady sometimes acts like a child, rushing to answer her son's questions.
“My son, you don’t know, there’s a little girl cooking spoiled food up ahead. I’ll tell Zhenzhen about it.”
We both felt really sorry for that girl.
The old lady explained while sighing.
"If she's pitiful, give her some food. Don't let these things affect you," he said, comforting his mother and wife.
But when Qin heard this, she cried sadly again. "Lord Duke, if you knew that the girl was your niece, could you still be so calm?"
"Zhenzhen, why are you crying again?" The old lady was puzzled. Was her daughter-in-law's sympathy overflowing?
Although that girl was very pitiful, but...
A matriarch cannot have so much excessive compassion.
Without ruthlessness, one cannot establish a foothold.
"Mother, Duke, I, I..." Madam Qin hesitated, feeling a little annoyed, and wanted to say it all at once.
But not knowing where to begin, he composed himself and said, "Mother, Duke, Che'er will bring that young lady over in a moment."
Before Qin could finish speaking, the old lady immediately perked up.
There's no news more exciting than hearing that your eldest grandson has taken a girl.
He asked excitedly, "Miss, what girl? Is she Che'er's sweetheart?"
The old lady had a big smile on her face, clearly having forgotten her earlier sorrow.
Now all I can think about is that I'll be able to hold my great-grandchild soon.
But something felt off. Could it be that the girl had come all the way from afar to catch up with him?
Such a deeply affectionate girl is truly rare. The old lady kept thinking.
"Zhenmei, how could you let them be alone together? It's bad for the girl's reputation."
Hearing that her son was with another girl, she worried about the girl, after all, her son was an older man.
What if I act impulsively and end up hurting someone else's daughter?
"Mother, Duke, please calm down. That girl is someone we know. Nothing will happen."
Now they were even more confused.
"Zhenzhen, why are you trying to sell me this old woman? That's not right." The old lady pouted, pretending to be angry.
"Mother, have a cup of tea. Let's wait a moment while that girl fills her stomach."
"An acquaintance?" the old lady couldn't help but ask.
“Mother and the Duke know each other, they are old acquaintances. Mother, please wait a moment, there’s no rush.” Qin’s face softened when she mentioned Yinyin.
Seeing that Madam Qin was unwilling to reveal the answer, both the old lady and the Duke racked their brains trying to recall who it was, but couldn't figure out.
After all, they were all of similar status and acquaintances. They were so young that they could beg for that kind of food when they were down on their luck.
I rack my brains but can't find such a person.
At this moment, Granny Gu, who was guarding the carriage, spoke up, "Madam, Duke, Madam, the eldest son has arrived."
The old lady was somewhat anxious, eager to see the young woman. But she remained calm and pretended to leisurely sip her tea.
Qin called out urgently, "Quick, get in the carriage!" Her hands moved quickly as she lifted the carriage curtain.
The old lady's carriage was very large, specially tailored to her size, so that she could lie down and sleep while traveling, and there were seats next to it for her maids to sit and serve her.
There is now more than enough room for five people to sit in the carriage at the same time.
The old lady and the Duke were both taken aback by Qin's enthusiasm, staring wide-eyed at her actions.
"Lord Duke, please come and sit with me." She said, tugging at the Duke's sleeve.
"Madam, Father, Mother," Li Yanche said respectfully, standing beside the carriage.
Su Yinyin stood behind Li Yanche, her head down, making it impossible to see her face. She looked like a well-behaved wife.
At this moment, Su Yinyin felt uneasy and nervous. After all, these elders were the original owner's warmest relatives.
Seeing that Su Yinyin was still dressed so thinly, Qin said urgently, "Good child, get in the carriage quickly, it's warmer inside."
She blamed her son for not knowing how to cherish women. It was so cold, and he hadn't even prepared a cloak for her cousin.
Qin Shi really misunderstood Li Yanche. Li Yanche ordered a maid to fetch a cloak, but Su Yinyin refused, saying she wasn't cold.
Li Yanche now misunderstood Su Yinyin, feeling that she had suffered too much and lost her pride. Now, even when she saw her own family, she was so cautious.
But they had no idea that although Su Yinyin appeared to be dressed thinly, she was actually not cold.
Su Yinyin wore modern thermal underwear underneath, which was warm, lightweight, and not bulky.
Hearing his mother's words, Li Yanche understood that she wanted Yinyin to get into the car quickly.
She turned to the side and whispered, "Yinyin, hurry up and get in the car, it's warm inside."
The name "Yinyin" startled the old lady, the Duke, and Granny Gu, leaving them all stunned.
The name "Yinyin" is very familiar to them.
The old lady often dreams of Su Yinyin, especially in recent years, when she often dreams of Yinyin asking her, her maternal grandmother, for help.
She claims she has been framed and is suffering terribly, and asks me to come and rescue her.
After some time, she received another letter saying that Yinyin was safe and sound. The old lady thought that this dream was because she missed her granddaughter Yinyin so much.
Su Yinyin felt four pairs of eyes staring at her. She wanted to find out what was going on.
Su Yinyin was not intimidated. She slowly raised her head and replied, "Okay."
Although there is a glow at night, it is still quite difficult to see the other person's face clearly by the faint light.
So the old lady and the Duke in the carriage rubbed their eyes, trying to see the people below the carriage clearly.
Yinyin is the old lady's granddaughter, but whether her daughter was alive or had passed away, the old lady loved this granddaughter the most.
This love transcends that for her own son and daughter.
After her daughter passed away, she wanted to raise Yinyin herself.
Unfortunately, Su Yinyin's father was a terrible person. If he hadn't threatened Su Yinyin with her brother and sister, Su Yinyin would have been raised under the care of the Duke's wife long ago.
There were no subsequent series of vicious incidents.
