Chapter 40 - Awakening

Seeing Third Miss's expression, the scar on her face had healed by a lot, but there were still some traces.

"Third Aunt." Qin Luofei was a legitimate daughter, so there was no need to bow to her.

If he really were to wake up, his Aunt would have to pay respects to the legitimate daughter.

Third Aunt did not reveal anything on her face. It was likely that her favors were not because of her beauty, but thinking about it, it was because of her that Eldest and Second Young Master were both born with two young misses. Naturally, it was not something an ordinary aunt could compare with.

"Good morning, Fourth Miss." The Third Aunt mocked.

When Third Miss saw Qin Luofei, he also turned his head and only cared about talking to his own sister; he did not want to look at Qin Luofei at all.

Qin Luofei didn't want to give her any face, so she said smilingly: "Third Sister's face is great, but from the looks of it, I'm afraid there will be scars left on it."

Third Miss was so angry that his face changed. That day, she tried to kill him but ended up getting killed instead.

She knew that the Mrs. Meng would make a move against Qin Luofei, but she was the one who thought of losing her face in the end.

Seeing that Fourth Miss had become more tactful, Third Aunt did not dare to offend her anymore. Yesterday, looking at the old lady's enthusiasm, she actually started to care for this unfavoured young miss.

"I'm afraid that the old granny has been waiting for too long. Let's hurry up and go over."

Qin Luofei smiled faintly: "Third Aunt is the one that makes people jealous in this courtyard. Since there's everything, even if Big Brother is a bastard child, if you follow beside the emperor and the Seventh Prince, you might have to reveal your identity sooner or later. When Third Aunt was not his current identity, even his third and fifth sister would probably become his identity. What do you think, Third Aunt? "

The Third Aunt was not stupid, it was only because she had been suppressed by the Mrs. Meng all these years that she had done many things that she shouldn't have. Now that she heard Qin Luofei's words, she realized that she couldn't be wrong.

He had two promising sons, and since he didn't fight for them, he naturally had hopes for them.

Third Aunt could not help but think highly of Qin Luofei. Since when did Fourth Miss become so intelligent?

Qin Luofei was naturally not a kind person, and would not do such a good thing. However, the Qin family wasn't her enemy, and she didn't want to make any more enemies. She had to rely on the Qin family after she entered the palace.

Of the three sons of the Qin family, two of them belonged to the Third Aunt.

After Third Aunt thought through all of this, she naturally had a smile on her face towards Qin Luofei. A pair of eyes swept over Qin Luofei as she smiled and said, "Fourth Miss's dress today was extremely beautiful. This old woman likes girls' clothes to be more luxurious, so she will definitely like it."

"Thank you, Third Aunt." Qin Luofei said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

However, that Third Miss still didn't like Qin Luofei from the bottom of his heart.

He walked down the corridor and entered the old lady's courtyard. In the old lady's courtyard, other than the previous scenery, there were also a few fresh peony flowers. As soon as she walked in, she could smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

A few maid s were standing in the courtyard, watering the flowers. Upon seeing Third Madam and the few misses, they hurriedly opened the curtains.

They had arrived too early, and only Aunt Rong and Rong Yu were accompanying the old lady to talk. The old lady looked much more spirited than yesterday. She was eating the oranges that Rong Yu had peeled, and when she looked up at Qin Luofei and the Third Aunt, she smiled and said, "Fei Er, come and do it with me."

"Mother, to like Fei Er so much, even I am getting jealous." Rong Yu pouted, his face filled with envy.

The old lady was once again amused by her appearance.

This Rong Yu and her sister really had good methods up their sleeves, to make the old lady feel so happy.

The old lady didn't like Third Aunt from the start, she had only ordered the maidservants to bring the stools for Qin Luofei to dry Third Aunt on the spot.

Third Miss was never a happy person to begin with. Furthermore, because she was too close with Mrs. Meng, she was annoyed by the Old Granny.

Third Aunt was thick-skinned enough, he instructed maid to move the chair and the three of them sat down.

Because their mother didn't like the old lady, Third Miss and Fifth Miss didn't like her at all.

After a while, Fifth Madame … Seventh Madame also came.

It was just that the Seventh Madame's face was a little scary, revealing a bit of cyan.

It turned out that after she became pregnant, the General Qin had been a precious baby for a while.

Everyone laughed and ate a few more cups of tea. Before Mrs. Meng even arrived, even Qin Luoyu was nowhere to be seen.

"Big sister, why hasn't she come yet? Could she have forgotten to pay respects to the old lady?" Third Aunt had originally been trying to please Mrs. Meng, but after hearing Qin Luofei's words, her brain suddenly opened up. In reality, she didn't even need to point at Mrs. Meng, she could still live well. When he thought about how he had been bullied in the past, he couldn't help but want to step on Mrs. Meng.

When the Third Aunt spoke of reality, Qin Luofei couldn't help but laugh to herself.

That Rong Yu pulled on Qin Luofei's hand especially intimately, and on his head was the pair of hairpins that Qin Luofei had given him.

She was already beautiful, but today, she had been tidied up meticulously and her color became even more gorgeous.

Qin Luofei was even more certain that there must be a reason why the old lady accepted her as her adopted daughter.

"Is Fei Er approaching adulthood? Did you mention marriage? " Aunt Rong glanced at the old lady and laughed.

Qin Luofei's heart moved, but on her face, there was a trace of bashfulness: "Aunt Rong."

Aunt Rong glanced at the old lady again.

The old lady pulled Qin Luofei's hand and said with a smile, "Don't have any ideas about my granddaughter. I was planning to keep her for a few more years."

Qin Luofei shot a look at Qiu Yu, who was standing behind her. Qiu Yu quickly handed something over to his mistress with both hands.

Qin Luofei opened the small package, smiled at the old lady and said, "I didn't have much to give since Grandmother came back, so I made a pair of shoes and a cloth forehead for Grandmother. I hope Grandmother doesn't mind if your granddaughter is careless."

The old lady was stunned for a moment. She didn't think that her granddaughter would come back and be so intimate with her. Guilt flashed across her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by other emotions.

The old lady took the shoes and forehead from Qin Luofei's hands and carefully examined them. This granddaughter of hers was a good beauty, she had done her needlepoint tidbits neatly and tidily.

The old granny knew that Qin Luofei had tried to curry favor with the empress dowager in her previous life, and had even tried to curry favor with the empress dowager. The empress dowager loved women that were good, and she had worked hard before. She hadn't used her full strength on the old lady's shoes yet, but they were already made better than most women's shoes.

"Not bad, not bad." The old lady praised him throughout her life.

Seeing that Third Aunt did not say anything, she had truly thought things through.

"Such a dexterous hand. If a family were to marry a wife like this, wouldn't they be able to?" Aunt Rong often brought up Qin Luofei's marriage today, so Qin Luofei couldn't help but suspect that the old lady had other intentions for suddenly being nice to her.

Furthermore, Aunt Rong and Rong Yu treated her like family when compared to others.

She had asked Xi Hua before that the present Aunt Rong had given Qin Luoyu was a pair of earrings less than her own.

Qin Luofei sneered in her heart, what a good plan, she was afraid she was going to miscalculate.

Qin Luofei only pretended not to understand the meaning behind Aunt Rong's words.

Although she was legitimate daughter in the eyes of these people, the young miss no longer had the chance to turn things around. She was a girl who had no one to rely on, it would be enough for her to have a good home in such a big family.

A servant girl lifted the curtain and walked in from outside, her face still not looking good. Second Miss also had a gloomy face as she followed behind.

No wonder the old woman didn't like Mrs. Meng. She had never seen Yue Yang before, even when he was young.

When Mrs. Meng looked at the charming and flirtatious Aunt Rong, she felt extremely anxious. Adding to the fact that she was the Old Granny's man, she could not handle the other aunts as easily as she could, which made her heart feel even more uncomfortable.

The old lady did not like Mrs. Meng at all. A woman that could not even give birth to a son, what face did she have to ask her husband to only guard her?

If it weren't for the fact that she saw the Meng Clan gaining and losing in the imperial court, she would have been willing to let her son divorce her and marry a good wife.

"Elder sister, please drink some tea." Aunt Rong personally brought a cup of tea in front of Mrs. Meng.

Qin Luofei sipped the tea that the madame had brought from the south. It was a pre-rain well with a strong aroma and was full of tender sprouts.

Seeing the Aunt Rong bringing water to the Mrs. Meng, Qin Luofei guessed that the Aunt Rong was indeed ambitious. He would probably rely on this old lady to do even more things in the future.

She was sure that the sneaky old lady from yesterday was from Aunt Rong.

Mrs. Meng saw that Wugong was being so arrogant, this was clearly a slap to her face, but he couldn't do anything about it in front of the old lady. She could only stare at her fiercely with hatred.

Aunt Rong was so shocked that her face turned pale and she could not help but take a few steps back.

The old lady at the side looked at him seriously and could not help but say angrily, "Rong'er, what's wrong? If you are pregnant and don't feel well, don't you have a maid? "Then serve the tea and pour the water."

Aunt Rong was such a pampered person. She was clearly doing it for the old lady to see, and yet the old lady was doing it.

Mrs. Meng held the cup of tea in her hands. She did not drink it, nor did she drink it.

Although the Third Aunt and the Fifth Madame did not like the Aunt Rong either, the Mrs. Meng was unpopular as well, and no one helped the Mrs. Meng.

"That's right, it's fine as long as Aunt Rong is sitting obediently with a big stomach. Just give my mother some tea or whatever tea you want, even if my mother has a thousand mouths to speak of, it wouldn't be clear." Sure enough, she was his biological daughter. He couldn't help but ask his mother, Qin Luoyu, who was at the side, when he saw this person helping his mother.

Aunt Rong looked at Qin Luoyu timidly, her eyes were red, and tears were about to fall from them.

Everyone saw in their eyes, and could not help but shake their heads, it was such a pity that Aunt Rong was not acting the part, this pitiful appearance, it was as though Mrs. Meng was bullying her, Mrs. Meng had met an opponent this time.

"Alright." The old lady's face darkened.

She could scold Mrs. Meng, but Qin Luoyu was still her granddaughter, and this granddaughter was very likely to become her imperial concubine. She naturally didn't have any reason to offend her, because the Rong family might need this granddaughter in the future.

Qin Luofei watched a good show with her own eyes.
