章 61: Placing the bet
Qing Li was not an idiot, but she was spoiled ever since she was a baby and did not think too deeply about things like her now-in-trial mother. She begged her father to take action and just let the furious Qing Bo cut off family relationship with them, she also begged the old lady of the house, the left prime minister's mother.
The Left Prime Minister's mother loved Qing Li so much so she tried to have a talk with her son.
Qing Peng was a smart man. If the twins had taken any action with him when they are still his son, he could have accused them of being unfilial, or ground them, and punish them saying it was the family rules or something. But if they are out of the family tree, they could attack him anytime they wanted.
He was in a difficult position. After the pressure from all direction, the court even started to constantly remind him to take care of his backyard.
In the end he was left with no choice. The twins finally moved out of the left prime minister's residence. Qing Bo bought a residence of his own, which was located not far away from General Hu's residence. Their new residence was not as big as the previous residence, but it was more beautiful.
There were lotus and koi ponds. The sunshine here was a lot better than the gloomy and depressing left prime minister's house.
Qing Guang was very pleased with the house, she got a special courtyard with a two storied building. She could sleep in the second floor and have tea with her brother or guests on the first floor.
Seeing his sister so happy, Qing Bo couldn't feel anything but grateful. If not because of Hu Ye's plan, he wouldn't be able to see his sister like this.
Except for Hu Ye and Qing Bo, no one knew about the deal. Early in the morning, the Hu sisters visited their new neighbor, bringing home warmer gifts.
"Your cooking is delicious, Hu Cheng Se." Qing Guang ate every meat filled steamed bun that Hu Cheng Se gave her. "I wish I can cook for myself."
Hu Cheng Se chuckled, she offered another portion to Qing Guang. "Here, eat more, you must be tired after moving out, right?"
"Aunt…" A dainty white hand tugged Hu Cheng Se's orange sleeve. She looked back and saw a small child by her side. "Yao'er? Didn't you go with First Sister to see the pool?"
"Yao'er, where did that girl go?" Hu Bai frowned.
"Here, First Sister." Hu Zi waved her hand. "Yao'er is here."
"Third Sister, you sense it using the wind, right? Why didn't you stop Shao Yao from going alone to the building?" Hu Bai pouted. Hu Zi's eyes were closed, she could sense that Shao Yao went by herself and go back to the building when Hu Bai was trying to get the toy she accidently slipped to the pool back.
"She is old enough to walk by herself, don't you remember how we were back then? Hu Ye could even stop a thief, the pond and the building are close, she should be fine."
"Still, you don't know just how a mother would feel."
"Mother…" Shao Yao raised her hand, asking for a hug. "Xiao Yao is sorry, please don't be angry with Aunt."
Hu Bai blinked, she sighed before taking Shao Yao to her arm. "Your mother isn't angry with your aunt…" Hu Bai smiled. Seeing her mother gave such a warm smile, Zhi Shao Yao also smiled. Yet, right after, Hu Bai's face turned dark. "Your mother is angry with you, you naughty child!"
Shao Yao's eyes widened in an instant. "Mother, stop, don't bully Xiao Yao, ah!"
"How many times your mother needs to tell you to not wander on your own? Do you want your mother to get old faster because of worry?" Hu Bai said while tickling Zhi Shao Yao's stomach. "Take this punishment!"
"They are at it again." Hu Cheng Se broke a sweat. "I wonder why they acted like that every time Brother Zhi Yu isn't around."
"Such an interesting pair of mother and daughter." Qing Guang sighed.
A month after the twins finished moving, Hu Ye told his family he wanted to marry someone soon. The family fully supported him and helped him prepared the marriage gift.
Hu Bai, upon marriage, did not want to rely so much on her monthly allowance and opened an accessory shop.
With her exquisite products and Zhi Yu's money management, the shop became famous in these past six years and had many fans who fought over her designs. The boutique shops across the street was very pleased because her customers will come to their shop to buy a dress fit for their new accessories.
Because of that, Hu Bai and the boutique shop owner became business partner. She asked the boutique shop owner, and they happily lowered their prices for Hu Ye.
In a sunny day, he traveled to the Twin residence with the gifts. But, when he was about to ask for an audience in front of the gate door. Qing Guang suddenly came out and said...
