Chapter 115: Nanyang Prince Su Shaofeng

Chen Qingyin woke up in a daze.

Linlang's crying sounded in my ears: "Miss, you are awake!"

Chen Qingyin opened her eyes and felt the world spinning. After a long while, she looked to the side.

Linlang was lying on the bed, with a man in gorgeous clothes standing behind her.

The room she was in didn't seem to be her home, but an inn.

The vision went from blurry to clear.

She asked confusedly: "What's wrong with me?"

Linlang cried, "There was a sudden fire in the mansion. I don't know why, but many servants fell to the ground and fainted. If it weren't for the timely arrival of Prince Yang'an, we would all have died in the fire!"

"The mansion was burned down to its skeleton. His Royal Highness arranged for us to stay in an inn for the time being. Miss, are you feeling unwell?"

Prince of Yang'an...

Chen Qingyin turned her gaze to look behind Linlang.

The man standing there was dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing a jade crown on his head, and had a gentle smile on his face.

"Shao Feng?" She was a little surprised.

Prince Yang'an Su Shaofeng is the son of the eldest princess.

When Su Shaofeng was young in the capital, he studied etiquette and calligraphy with Prime Minister Chen.

Therefore, he and Chen Qingyin can be considered childhood sweethearts, and he is even more familiar with Ning Guanzhou.

Chen Qingyin wanted to sit up, and Su Shaofeng hurried forward and held her shoulders.

"Don't move. Just lie still. I asked the doctor to check your pulse. He said you are weak and need to be nourished. Sister Qingyin, you have suffered a lot over the years."

The reason why Su Shaofeng said this was because he had heard about what happened to Chen Qingyin and felt sorry for her.

Chen Qingyin leaned on the couch, her pale lips forming a smile: "It's all in the past. My life is pretty good now."

Su Shaofeng said, "But it's not easy for you to live with your child alone. I'm back in Beijing this time, so why don't I take charge and make the connection? You sit down with your father-in-law and have a good chat, okay?"

Chen Qingyin's expression suddenly changed.

She turned her head away, her voice a little cold: "Don't bother, this is my own business, don't interfere, besides, you are my brother-in-law now, if you meddle in my business, be careful that Chen Luhua will be unhappy."

Chen Luhua is the youngest daughter of her stepmother.

Originally, the eldest princess had taken a fancy to Chen Qingyin and wanted her to be her daughter-in-law.

Especially Su Shaofeng has deep feelings for her.

However, Chen Qingyin and Ning Guanzhou had already fallen in love with each other and would not marry anyone else.

After Ning Guanzhou left, Chen Qingyin felt depressed and fell into the water, where she was rescued by Hu Yunshen.

After this incident, the eldest princess changed her mind and decided to make Chen Luhua the Princess of the County.

Four years ago, not long after Chen Qingyin married into the Hu family, Chen Luhua also married Su Shaofeng and went to Yang'an with him.

Hearing Chen Luhua's name, Su Shaofeng pursed his lips.

"Qingyin, this is between you and me, she can't do anything about it."

Chen Qingyin felt a headache when she heard him say that. She pressed her brows and took the initiative to distance herself from him: "Prince, I want to have a good rest. As for the firefighting, I will definitely ask someone to send a generous gift to thank you when I have time."

"If the prince has nothing else to do, please leave first. Linlang, show the guest away."

Su Shaofeng saw that she closed her eyes, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only stand up and said, "We returned to the capital and decided to stay here."

"So I have a lot of time. I'll come to see you then. You should have a good rest first."

When he left, Chen Qingyin asked Linlang to take the silver and return it to Su Shaofeng. After all, he was the one who paid for the stay in the inn, and Chen Qingyin didn't want to owe him a penny.

After seeing Su Shaofeng off, Linlang came back and muttered in Chen Qingyin's ear.

"So the fourth young lady has also returned, and brought back young lady Yao'er. I heard that the prime minister is going to hold a big banquet at home tonight to welcome them home."

After hearing this, Chen Qingyin's face showed no expression, but how could she not feel bitter in her heart?

Her father, her brothers, all belonged to other people now. Chen Qingyin lay there until the evening, when she heard hurried footsteps at the door. The next second, Hu Mianmian pushed the door open and rushed in with Ning Guanzhou.

"Mother!" "Qingyin!"

The two of them rushed to the couch at the same time, and one big and one small grabbed her hands in unison.

"Are you OK?"

Chen Qingyin glanced at Ning Guanzhou, and Ning Guanzhou subconsciously withdrew his hand.

He frowned and asked, "Why did the fire suddenly start?"

Chen Qingyin lowered her eyes: "I don't know either. I don't even know why I fainted. I just saw Yoyo fighting with a mouse, and then I fainted."

"Yoyo and the mouse?" Hu Mianmian clenched her fists immediately after hearing that.

It was that rat demon! Damn it, he actually dared to come and seek revenge.

Chen Qingyin saw her daughter's gnashing teeth expression and stroked her head.

"Don't worry, Mianmian. Mother has asked Linlang to find Youyou. A tuft of its fur was burned off, but it's fine. It's resting next door."

Hu Mianmian threw herself directly into Chen Qingyin's arms, hugging her mother's waist tightly with her little hands.

"Mom, I wish I hadn't gone out. It's all my fault for running around." The little girl's watery eyes were filled with tears, and she felt wronged and blamed herself.

Chen Qingyin smiled and hugged her: "What does it have to do with you? Look, mother is fine, don't cry."

"By the way, did Mianmian gain anything from this trip? Where do you want to open a shop?"

Hu Mianmian wiped away her tears with her little hands: "Uncle Ning took me to the temple. The incense there really sells better. I want to open a shop there."

Ning Guanzhou said in a deep voice: "There just happened to be a shop for sale, and I wanted to buy it, but this little guy said he would not agree to it no matter what."

Chen Qingyin looked at him and nodded slightly.

"Mianmian is right not to accept things from others. Mother can afford it for you." As she said this, she took out a box from beside the pillow.

The fire broke out suddenly and much of her property was burned down. Only this iron box was left, which contained ten silver notes worth one hundred taels.

"Mianmian, take it, buy the shop and do what you want."

Hu Mianmian held the iron box and said softly, "Mother...didn't you say that you were going to use this money to open a music hall?"

Chen Qingyin's smile is gentle and full of maternal love.

"But your wish is more important. Mother just needs to recuperate for a while, so I'll let Mianmian run the incense shop to support me, okay?"

Hu Mianmian suddenly felt full of responsibility.

She nodded heavily: "Mom, I will support you!"

Ning Guanzhou looked at the smiling faces of the mother and daughter hugging each other, and seeing that Chen Qingyin's face was still a little pale, he knew that she was still frightened.

At this moment, if he wanted to confess what happened in the past, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate...

hold on.

Chen Qingyin looked at Ning Guanzhou and said, "By the way, if Lord Ning is free, can you help me pick a gift to thank the Prince of Yang'an?"

"Su Shaofeng?" Ning Guanzhou's voice rose slightly.

Chen Qingyin nodded: "He happened to pass by on his way back to Beijing and saved me after discovering the fire."

Ning Guanzhou's eyes darkened.

How could he pass by Chen Qingyin's house? I'm afraid he was heading straight for her!
"I understand. Leave it to me." His voice was low, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction towards Su Shaofeng.

He is already married, what else does he want to do?
Just then, the waiter knocked on the door.

"Sir, several people have come downstairs, claiming to be your relatives, and are asking for your room number. Do you want to tell me?"

"Relatives?" Chen Qingyin was puzzled. "Who is it?"

Ning Guanzhou pursed his lips: "I'll go take a look."

Not long after he left, he came back and said, "Qingyin, your mentor and your two brothers are here."

The author's mumbling: If you see the title is "Prince of Nanyang", you can ignore it. I originally set Su Shaofeng to be the Prince of Yang'an, but because my brain crashed when I was writing this chapter, I forgot and gave him another title. The main text has been modified, but I don't know why the title has been modified incorrectly. Just read the main text.
