Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1306: Chapter 1307: Sending the Guests Away

Back home, it was afternoon, and the courtyard was quiet. Perhaps everyone was taking a nap.

Cheng Su glanced at the two sisters who seemed lost, especially Qi Fengping, who looked so pitiful. She thought to herself whether this matter could be suppressed was still unknown. If Auntie and the others noticed something, they were family after all and wouldn’t spread it all over the place.

But the most troublesome part was yet to come. The person in charge had already left Huangtian Village. How should this matter be resolved?

Cheng Su sighed lightly, only feeling her head ache more and more. This storm had already formed, and just how much damage it would cause upon eruption was up to fate!

There was no one in the main room either. It seems everyone was taking an afternoon nap. Qi Fenglian gave Qi Fengping a push: "Hurry and get into the room!"

Qi Fengping felt very wronged and didn’t speak, turning around and going back to her room.

Seeing her like this, Qi Fenglian was furious, then turned to Cheng Su, saying, "Look at what a mess this is, what should we do?"

"How would I know?" Cheng Su sighed and looked past her. In the guest room, Deng Weiqiu opened the door, stood there looking at them, then closed the door again when she saw Cheng Su looking at her.

Cheng Su shook her head, lowered her voice, and said, "Let’s talk about this after Auntie and the others leave!" Otherwise, given her self-righteous mindset, who knows if she’d insist on dunking Qi Fengping in a pig cage.

Qi Fenglian had no choice but to nod.

Cheng Su went back to her room for a nap and got up when she heard activity in the courtyard. It was Mother Qi preparing meals for the festival, killing chickens and ducks. Cheng Su quickly rolled up her sleeves to help, but with something on her mind, she kept getting distracted, and Mother Qi scolded her a few times.

Being scolded by her mother-in-law, Cheng Su didn’t retort, just forced a smile, which made Mother Qi feel very strange.

Qi Fenglian was also absent-minded and made several mistakes.

Deng Weiqiu noticed how the two were acting and whispered to her own mother, "I don’t know what they went out to do, being all secretive, and now they’re whispering to avoid people."

Auntie frowned and said, "Mind your own business, we are guests here."

Deng Weiqiu awkwardly complied.

But Auntie also kept an eye on the two and mentioned to Mother Qi to be wary of any scheming behind the scenes.

Upon hearing this, Mother Qi’s gaze at Cheng Su became a bit unfriendly. But considering the festival, she didn’t say anything.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family just got together for a reunion dinner and then enjoyed moon gazing.

Originally, Cheng Su and Qi Fenglian were good talkers, but now with something on their minds, they had no interest in joking. The dining table was uncharacteristically silent, and Father Qi vaguely sensed something was off.

Auntie, as a guest, felt all the more uncomfortable.

During the moon gazing, Qi Fenglian smiled and asked Auntie when she was leaving, making her face heat up as she thought she was being asked to leave, and replied, "I’m leaving tomorrow."

"Stay a few more days," Mother Qi quickly interjected, glaring at her eldest daughter. "How can you say that, are you driving our guest away?"

Qi Fenglian forced a smile, knowing that both she and her sister were misunderstood, but she didn’t explain, because she really was trying to send the guests away.

Qi Fengping’s matter was urgent, this ugly task had to be done. Otherwise, she’d stay until the end of time and by then, Qi Fengping’s child would already be born.

"What kind of partner is Weiqiu looking for? What are the requirements?" Cheng Su asked Deng Weiqiu, peeling a chestnut, to change the subject.

Sure enough, it immediately shifted everyone’s attention, and Deng Weiqiu, bashfully, listed a few criteria. Cheng Su’s mouth twitched; it was like she was looking for a prince.
