After being divorced for three years, the bad husband brought his son to ask for forgiveness

Chapter 11 Is she someone who likes to be tortured?

Madam Qin is eleven years older than Yan Chaonian and became famous earlier. Over the years, many people have come to her for advice, and she usually gives them some advice for the sake of courtesy.

In last year's brocade competition, a piece of plum blossom brocade from Chaojinfang won first place. She had seen it before. The weaving pattern was complex and rigorous, and the colors were rich. The whole piece of brocade was derived in rhythm and spread within the rules. It was well deserved.

"From that piece of brocade, we can see that the weaver is skilled and the weaving is meticulous and the warp and weft are appropriate. She must be the best among the thousands of weavers in Chengdu, but..."

Madam Qin was a little confused. She had never heard of such a person.

Yan Chaonian smiled and said, "It's my mother. Unfortunately, she is old and her eyesight is not very good. It is a bit difficult for her to do such delicate work."

"I haven't touched the loom since the brocade came out last year."

Madam Qin understood, but also felt regretful. "If I have the chance, I will definitely go to visit your mother. Even if her eyesight is not good, her experience and skills are very rare."

"From that piece of brocade, I can tell your mother's brocade weaving skills are not inferior to mine. Why don't you just ask her for advice?"

Yan Chaonian laughed, "My mother has a bad temper. She always thinks I'm stupid. If I still can't learn after two attempts, she'll get angry. As time goes by, I don't want to learn, and she doesn't want to teach me."

Madam Qin laughed as well. "Just by listening to her, I can tell that your mother has a cheerful personality. She has such skills but no one in the city has ever heard of her name. I guess you come from a well-off family."

I looked up and realized it was already evening. "It's rare that we can get along so well. It's already evening without me noticing."

Yan Chaonian stood up and said, "I am sorry to have disturbed Madam Qin for a day. I benefited a lot from talking with her for a day. I wonder if I can come again in the future?"

"You can come anytime."

Although she had better skills, that was because she was older. She also gained a lot from talking with Yan Chaonian for a day, not to mention that she had become more interested in Yan's mother.

Madam Qin sent Yan Chaonian to the gate and watched her get on the carriage. The carriage was no different from ordinary carriages and had no markings. Madam Qin knew that Yan Chaonian was not willing to reveal her identity. Even though she was wearing ordinary clothes today, she could not hide her noble appearance. She was probably of extraordinary status and not just a weaver in the brocade workshop.

I couldn't help but think of the mysterious female owner of Chaojinfang, whose figure is somewhat similar.

"looking at what?"

Master Xu, who had just returned from teaching, looked at his wife curiously. He followed her line of sight and saw only a carriage in the distance. "The person who came to visit you today is leaving now?"

"Well, she's a very skilled and interesting woman."

The joy in Qin Niangzi's eyes was not concealed. Seeing her joy, Master Xu was also happy. He put the purse in Qin Niangzi's hand and said, "If you like, you can come more often. This is the rent I just received. Don't touch the loom all the time. It's bad for your eyes."

"Understood."

I don’t know what the skilled mother Yan is thinking. She can’t rest and has a new idea today that she wants to try.

"As long as I have a good grandson, everything is fine."

At this moment, Yan's mother was playing a game of chase with her grandson in the yard. The little kid's giggles made Li Xia, who was originally standing and talking, join in. After running for a while, he said, "That dog-skin plaster is endless. He has been squatting at the back door of Jinfang for half a day."

"Which dog-skin plaster?"

Yan Chaonian came back, and her little Xuner ran towards her with a smile, staining her clean clothes with dust, "You bad boy, look at my clothes."

“Ahahahaha~~~”

Xiao Xun'er ran away with a smile again, then stopped after two steps and turned around to signal Yan Chaonian to chase him. Yan Chaonian stroked his forehead and pretended to chase him for a long time, panting with exhaustion. Xiao Xun'er seemed to have endless energy, and Yan Chaonian had no choice but to let the maid accompany him to run.

"What did you just say? Why do I feel like you are hiding something from me?"

Li Xia avoided the topic and just as he changed the subject, Yan Chaonian said, "You must be hiding something from me."

The two were talking peacefully, but they shut up when they saw her coming. When she was chasing Xiao Xun'er, they even exchanged glances secretly. Her eyes were the best, and no one could fool her. "Is that Jiang family member causing trouble again?"

Li Xia winked at Yan's mother, who was as steady as a rock. Li Xia could only touch her nose and tell her about the robbery of Jiang Wencheng and his son. "I heard that everything was stolen, except for the underwear they were wearing, which was a pair of pants. They also sent someone to the back door of the brocade workshop to inquire about you."

Yan Chaonian blinked, "Why are you still asking about me when everything has been stolen?"

As soon as this question was asked, an answer instantly emerged in my mind. Could it be that I wanted her to show her courtesy?
She handed over clothes and money, and the father and son first mocked her with disgust, then accepted them as if they were doing a favor, and finally stepped on her a few more times. Is this what she meant?

"Nothing was left after stealing?"

"That's not the case either."

Li Xia said, "The followers didn't steal anything. They still have three carriages. If we sell the carriages and replace them with mule carriages and save some money, it will be enough for the trip back."

Yan Chaonian suddenly realized, "You did it."

"not me."

Li Xia denied it, "My second uncle is not that kind of person. People in the government office said he was a thief."

He patted his belly and said, "Second uncle can fly like this?"

Yan Chaonian crossed his arms and smiled, "It's you, it must be you who did it, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Tell him in advance? Are you still going to go easy on him?"

Li Xia was so disappointed with her niece. She knew her niece was not very smart. "He treated you like that, and you are still soft-hearted?"

Yan Chaonian was speechless. When did she become soft-hearted? Did she look so unreliable?
What kind of person is she who likes to be abused?
"I admit that I was a bit of a coward in the Bo's Mansion. I didn't kill Jiang Wencheng with a knife, and I didn't poison old lady Jiang with rat poison. But I was severely damaged both physically and mentally in the end. I have come to my senses."

"My second uncle, can you always look at me like a fool?"

It made her lose confidence.

Li Xia still didn't believe it. She might be able to do something to Jiang Wencheng, but with that wolf cub from the Jiang family around, he didn't dare to believe it.

"Anyway, don't worry about it. Just pretend you don't know."

"How can I pretend I don't know? You can teach him a lesson, but you have to be sensible."

"Look, look."

Before Yan Chaoniang could finish her words, Li Xia refused, "It's just that I can't bear to let her go."

Yan's mother couldn't bear it anymore and asked Yan Chaonian to go wash up.

After sending the people away, Yan's mother glared at Li Xia, "Don't keep dwelling on the past. How difficult it was for her then. Her father and brother were both officials. She had to think more before she spoke or did anything. The circle of nobles is not so comfortable. If she says something wrong, it will not work. She has many relatives in her mother's family, but few of them can support her. Do you think life is so easy?"

"Don't talk about her anymore. Your brother-in-law can't stand hearing these words."

Mother Yan felt a headache when she thought of the quarrel between Father Yan and Mr. Li.

Li Xia was not convinced, "Why can't we support him?"

Mother Yan felt tired. This annoying thing was that just because Yuan Shen was easy to talk to, she thought all officials were easy to talk to?

Have you forgotten the days when you were a grandson?
