Chapter 90 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills
Chen Qingyin looked up at him, her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

"I couldn't sleep, so I just did some embroidery so I could sell it for money."

Hu Yunshen approached her, his eyes like a venomous snake, and looked around, but he did not see Hu Mianmian.

"Where's Mianmian?"

"She insisted on playing Go with Linlang and fell asleep at her place. I thought it was cold, so I didn't bring her back."

Hu Yunshen listened and nodded slightly.

I thought to myself, this is fine, at worst I can just kill Chen Qingyin and then go and kill that evil bastard, it's the same thing.

Hu Yunshen sat next to Chen Qingyin and held her hand, but Chen Qingyin pulled her hand away.

Hu Yunshen's eyes darkened, flashing with coldness.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep resisting me?"

"I didn't." Chen Qingyin lowered her head.

The vague anger in Hu Yunshen's heart was rising steadily.

Whenever he thought about his current situation of having nothing, all because of the woman in front of him, he wanted to kill her.

"Look at me, why are you..." Hu Yunshen suddenly lifted Chen Qingyin's chin, but his words stopped abruptly.

It turned out that Chen Qingyin was already in tears.

He opened his eyes wide in confusion: "Why are you crying, ma'am?"

Chen Qingyin sobbed and threw herself into his arms.

"Husband, I did something wrong. Little sister, I might have killed her."

Hu Yunshen was shocked. He didn't expect Chen Qingyin to admit it. He held her shoulders and said, "What did you say? Why did you do this?"

Chen Qingyin wiped her tears and said, "I went to the prison today to negotiate peace, but you know, the Zhang family said that my second sister kicked Zhang Quan's genitals and he can no longer have children, so they asked us to pay compensation."

"Five thousand taels of silver! They want five thousand taels of silver. Where can we pay so much silver as compensation?" Chen Qingyin cried heartbreakingly.

She pounded her chest hard, as if she was heartbroken.

"Moreover, the young lady of the Zhang family threatened that if we didn't give them the money, they would not give up. My husband, I was so hot-headed that I did something foolish."

"I thought, if I hurt my second sister and let the Zhang family see with their own eyes that I have punished her, maybe they will calm down, right?"

"In short, we must not let you get involved. These five thousand taels, let alone costing our lives, will also affect your career. How can our family afford a second blow?"

As Chen Qingyin spoke, she leaned into his arms, sobbing loudly, her fingers tightly grasping his sleeves.

"Husband, I'm really scared. I'm afraid that our lives will be like this forever. I feel so sorry for my second sister, and I feel so sorry for my parents!"

Hu Yunshen was furious when he came, but after hearing these words, he gradually calmed down.

If Chen Qingyin did this for the Hu family and for him, then Hu Lan's death was understandable.

"Do you really think so, Qingyin?"

"Yes," Chen Qingyin stood up and showed him her embroidery. "Look, I know our family doesn't have much money right now, but I know a little bit about Suzhou embroidery. I plan to make more embroidery and sell it. You won't be short of money when you try to make a living in your official career."

She stretched out her hand and found small wounds on her fingertips, probably caused by a needle.

Hu Yunshen immediately believed it without a doubt.

He held Chen Qingyin in his arms: "Qingyin, don't blame yourself. The gecko cut off its tail just to survive. It is reasonable for my second sister to die."

"After she dies, the Zhang family will naturally no longer pursue the matter of the 5,000 taels of compensation, and will no longer embarrass me in the court. Otherwise, even if they insist on it, it will be unacceptable in both heaven and morality!"

"You did a great job. You really took great pains for me." Chen Qingyin wiped her tears and choked up: "As long as my husband can get better, I can endure any hardship. It's just... you know the situation at home now. My father and mother are both sick, and we have to spend money on medicine everywhere."

"Rong'er is still young. After the incident in the mansion, we sent him to the clan's school to be raised. But it's not a good idea to keep him outside all the time. We have to bring him back sooner or later. If there is no money in the mansion by then, he will only be laughed at by others."

As she spoke, Hu Yunshen nodded.

"Madam, do you have any good solution? For example, you can ask your father-in-law, or if you have a good relationship with the Prime Minister, I can accompany you to ask for mercy?"

Chen Qingyin shook her head: "After I came back today, I sent Linlang back to deliver a letter to my father, but... Linlang said that my father tore up the letter and told me not to cause him trouble at this time."

Hu Yunshen didn't say anything, but there was still a trace of doubt in his heart.

It was true that Prime Minister Chen and Chen Qingyin often quarreled, but Prime Minister Chen could never let go of his daughter.

Chen Qingyin added, "As for the Prime Minister, I have to think of a way. I remember that he likes to listen to music very much. Isn't Madam Liang a good player? The annual banquet is coming soon. I would like to ask my husband to bring Madam Liang to the palace."

"When the time comes, I will plan to have her perform a song for Prime Minister Ning, and we will give him a gift in private and say a few good words. Your career should not be too difficult, my husband."

Hu Yunshen's eyes gradually lit up: "Madam's idea is very good, but, wouldn't it be inappropriate to bring Madam Liang to the banquet? After all, she has no status at all!"

The reason for saying this is that Hu Yunshen was afraid that Liang Yunyan's identity as a fake widow would be exposed.

Chen Qingyin shook her head: "It is definitely not appropriate to bring her in openly, so let's bring her in secretly. When the time comes, ask Madam Liang to pretend to be my maid, then it will be easier."

Hu Yunshen was very pleased: "Madam! You are really kind-hearted and smart. It is my blessing to have you by my side."

As he said this, he was about to kiss her.

Chen Qingyin immediately held his mouth and said, "My dear, I won't keep you here tonight. This Su embroidery is almost finished. When the time comes, I can exchange it for some silver so that I can buy some decent clothes and accessories to attend the annual banquet in the palace."

"Go to the side hospital and have a rest. Your body has just recovered in recent days. You must not overwork yourself."

Hu Yunshen nodded immediately and left without hesitation.

Because he also had to coax Liang Yunyan and convince her to attend with him.

After he left, Feng Wu came down from the beam, holding a sword that shone coldly in his hand.

Chen Qingyin let out a long sigh, and the cold sweat on her back had soaked her clothes.

From the moment Hu Yunshen walked in, she guessed that this heartless guy would never let her have an easy time.

So, she put on a show.

As selfish as Hu Yunshen is, he cares about his sister's death, but he cares more about his own future.

When he heard that it might affect him, Hu Lan's death suddenly became insignificant.

Really ridiculous.

Feng Wu said: "If he had taken action just now, I would have killed him immediately, and done it cleanly. Madam Chen should provoke him. If Hu Yunshen dies, it will be good for you."

The most important thing is that the adults in his family can’t wait any longer.

I wish I could ask about Chen Qingyin's whereabouts eight hundred times every day. Now that Hu Yunshen is dead, Feng Wu can finally have peace.

Chen Qingyin said coldly: "It would be too easy for him to die easily. I must make sure that he and Liang Yunyan are ruined! Guard Feng, thank you very much this time. I have nothing to do now, you can go and rest too."

Feng Wu bowed and left the room.

Hu Mianmian lay in front of the window in Linlang's room and saw that the light in her mother's room was off.

The little guy then lay down with peace of mind and covered himself with the quilt.

"Just sleep peacefully!" She almost killed her scumbag father with thunder, luckily her mother was fine.
