C4 Father of the minister

The signal flare slowly rose up, and Shui Qingyan's eyes dimmed.

He definitely wouldn't be able to keep Zhang Jing's position after the Spring Festival, this was an inevitable event. The Emperor had already given the Emperor five years of face, but Zhang Jing didn't work hard and didn't solve a case.

The reason why she wanted to help Zhang Jing was because of this big sister body — — Shui Qingcheng. Shui Qingcheng, the first daughter of an official, with a noble identity, married into a poor scholar. And the ones who facilitated this was the former Shui Qingyan and the Shui family's Second Aunt.

Shui Qingyan looked at the blue sky in the distance and frowned, not saying a word.

But Zhang Jing's face darkened, he was furious at Shui Qingyan's slap.

In the depths of the bamboo forest, Liuyi told Chu Chen everything that had happened between Shui Qingyan and himself. Chu Chen laid on his bed, and looked into the distance with a calm gaze.

"Didn't you say that you could wait until today? How come you are still sleeping here?" Is your fated person here yet? " Suddenly, a lively voice came from afar.

After Liuyi heard this, he immediately went to prepare the tea set.

After a short moment, a white clothed man descended into the courtyard while stepping on the sunlight.

Shui’s Marion.

During dinner time, Shui Qingyan was sent back to the Shui’s Marion, and Zhang Jing made an excuse to leave after sending Shui Qingyan to the door.

In the living room, Shui Qingyan's father, Shui Yiyuan, was sitting in the main seat, and on the right side was the Madam Hu who was in charge of the wife’s power. Opposite of the Madam Hu was the Third Aunt who liked to raise flowers, and beside the Madam Zeng was the Fourth Aunt who was most liked by Grandma Hua.

When Shui Qingyan stepped into the living room, Madam Hu immediately went forward to hold Shui Qingyan's hand. With tears in her eyes, she asked: "My poor child, are you injured?"

Shui Qingyan faintly glanced at Madam Hu. In her memories, ever since she took control of the matter, she had never gotten the right to make the latest set of clothes, and her monthly fees were never the latest style either. This Madam Hu was the person who brought up the matter of Buddha.

Shui Qingyan pushed away Madam Hu's hands and walked forward to bow to Shui Yiyuan. "Greetings, father."

Madam Hu was slightly surprised. Although the Fourth Miss had said bad things about her behind her back, on the surface she was flattering her.

Although Madam Hu was thinking about it, she couldn't say anything. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, pretending to be sad as she returned to her seat.

Shui Yiyuan frowned as he looked at Shui Qingyan, then opened his mouth: "Why did you push your Second Aunt away, do you know how worried she is?"

Shui Qingyan raised his eyes to look at the man who was sitting upright. She was around thirty years of age, and there were some traces of time at the corner of his eyes.

This person was the father of this body, the favorite subject of the Emperor, the doctor from a great nation with State Medical Bureau. However, it had been three years since the last time the father of this important person had seen Shui Qingyan.

Shui Qingyan's face was devoid of color as she slowly spoke, "Father, you are the one who is speaking; you are my real father, and it is only right that your daughter pays respects to you first when she returns safely. Moreover, your daughter is the direct descendant, and your Madam Hu is the concubine.

When these words came out, Madam Hu, Madam Bai, and the Madam Zeng were all stunned. The Fourth Miss had never placed them, the concubines, in her eyes, even more so, she did not care if these concubines were being courteous or not. In their eyes, the Fourth Miss only cared about the appearance of her clothes, the beauty of her makeup, where was the Second Prince.

Shui Yiyuan's face darkened. If not for this fall, she really wouldn't want to see Shui Qingyan. She hadn't paid attention to Shui Qingyan for three years;

Madam Hu immediately stood up: "Greetings Fourth Young Miss, congratulations on your safe return."

Madam Bai and Madam Zeng also immediately stood up. "Congratulations, Fourth Miss."

Shui Qingyan turned a blind eye to Shui Yiyuan and said coolly, "If father is fine, your daughter will go to Second Grandmother's place first." In her memories, when her mother was still alive, her father had always been willing to help her. After her mother died, her father had always been willing to help her, but he had rarely looked at her.

Shui Yiyuan said with a dark face: "You've met the son of the Prince Chu." This was what he was most concerned about. It had been five years since the last trace of the Prince Chu and he had actually encountered Shui Qingyan who had fallen off the cliff.

"Yes." When Shui Qingyan opened her mouth, he could feel that Shui Yiyuan had some sort of estrangement towards her.

"Why does the son of the Prince Chu have a request for you?" Shui Yiyuan asked coldly.

"He wants you to come and treat him." Shui Qingyan said.

Shui Yiyuan slapped the table and coldly shouted, "Nonsense, Prince Chu never uses a national doctor, how can you let your father treat his illness?"

"Maybe it's not wine?" Shui Qingyan said indifferently.

Shui Yiyuan raised his eyebrow, seeing Shui Qingyan's indifferent look, he frowned: "Come, let me see your injury."

Shui Qingyan walked up generously and stretched out her arm: "I hit my head, my body drew a breath."

"How did the tiger's mouth get injured?" Shui Yiyuan saw the wound on Shui Qingyan's palm with his sharp eyes.

"I was injured by Liuyi." Shui Qingyan said coldly.

Shui Yiyuan placed his hand on Shui Qingyan's pulse, and frowned: "You're still suffering from internal injuries."

"It was Liuyi who injured him." Shui Qingyan repeated herself.

"Why did I hurt you?" Shui Yiyuan retracted his hand.

Shui Qingyan retracted her hand: "My daughter fell off a cliff, managed to escape with great difficulty, then met with a thief. After entering the bamboo forest by accident, I was almost killed by Liuyi.

Shui Yiyuan slapped the table again, "Your mouth is full of nonsense. Liuyi wants to kill you, how can you be alive?"

Shui Qingyan's face turned cold: "The Prince Chu Mansion isn't too far away from us. If father doesn't believe me, he can ask around."

Shui Yiyuan's face froze. Going to the Prince Chu's Palace to ask about such a trivial matter, was his head spinning?

"Master, Fourth Miss has returned safely from falling off the cliff. It's normal for her to be in a bad mood after being frightened." Madam Hu whispered.

Shui Yiyuan glanced at Madam Hu, and slowly calmed his expression: "Apologize to your Second Aunt."

"Why?" Shui Qingyan said indifferently, and looked at Shui Yiyuan. She didn't believe that Shui Yiyuan didn't know about the conflicts between her and the Madam Hu. But not only did Shui Yiyuan not stop her, he had allowed her to develop freely.

"She first cut her arm to protect your elder sister, and then cried for you the whole night. When you came back, she didn't give you, Second Aunt, a good look, so do you think you should apologize to her?" Shui Yiyuan frowned, this daughter of his was truly becoming more and more unsensible.

"It shouldn't be." Shui Qingyan immediately followed up, "Who the hell does she think she is?

The moment he said that, the entire audience was shocked.

Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt: The Fourth Miss actually dared to curse the Madam Hu's thing in front of the Madam Hu. She is deliberately looking for trouble, what does the Fourth Miss mean by this, does she want to fall out with the Madam Hu?

Madam Hu's face instantly turned black. This Shui Qingyan, was courting death!

Shui Yiyuan's reaction was even more direct, she immediately stood up, and with a smack, Shui Qingyan turned her face aside.

But after fighting with her for so long, Shui Yiyuan himself was stunned. His daughter had been raised for fourteen years, so although he did not like his daughter anymore, he had never beaten her up before.

Madam Bai also stood up in shock. When the two of them arrived, they thought that they would be able to see their daughter crying in fear and their father consoling them. To think that things would turn out like this.

She did not expect Shui Yiyuan to make a move. Madam Hu also stood up, but pretended to be at a loss as if she did not know what to say.

Shui Qingyan slowly turned her head, and looked at Shui Yiyuan indifferently: "I'm wrong, I'm willing to receive this slap, I'm not wrong. Father, please give me justice."

This slap from Shui Yiyuan had already completely shattered Shui Qingyan's heart. She no longer expected that there would be fatherly love in this life.

Shui Yiyuan stood there and looked at the five palm marks on Shui Qingyan's face. He suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Firstly, I did not do anything wrong. Secondly, I would like to ask father if there is a direct daughter in this world who would inexplicably apologize to a lowly concubine! Don't tell me that Father also wants to learn Big Sis's pampered concubine and go down the throne!? " Shui Qingyan said word by word.

"You!" Shui Yiyuan's face flushed red. Looking at Shui Qingyan's eyes that resembled her mother's, he opened his mouth but could not say a single word. He knew that he had acted on impulse.

"Fourth Miss, it is my fault. Master is being impulsive." Madam Hu pretended to look at Shui Qingyan in alarm, then looked at Shui Yiyuan while feeling wronged. The meaning in Madam Hu's words was: Shui Yiyuan doesn't care about you, Shui Qingyan.

Shui Qingyan directly ignored him, and stared at Shui Yiyuan as she slowly opened her mouth, "Since father can't say what's good for you, then please give me justice."

After a long while, Shui Yiyuan's pig-liver-coloured complexion slowly calmed down, and then said: "Uncle Fu, go and weave some clothes for Fourth Miss at the first grade."

The butler Uncle Fu who was waiting at the door immediately replied loudly, "Yes."

Madam Bai and Madam Zeng looked at each other. Embroidering a set of clothes for a few thousand taels of gold each, the Fourth Miss had really struck gold with this slap.

Madam Hu held the handkerchief tightly in her sleeve. If these sets of clothes of the first rank were given to her daughter to wear, how good would that be?

"A few sets of clothes is like a slap on the face, isn't father underestimating his daughter too much?" Shui Qingyan coldly said, shocking the Uncle Fu, thinking that she had heard wrongly, a first class embroidery dress would only be given the chance to be made during festivals, the master had to make some for the fourth miss, the fourth miss actually thought that it was too little!

The Madam Bai was also stunned, the Fourth Young Miss normally liked to dress up, but this time she was unmoved by the clothes of a first class embroidery.

Madam Hu took a step forward and said slowly, "Fourth Miss, a set of clothes costs a few thousand taels of silver. The old master truly loves you."

Shui Qingyan sneered in her heart, she was afraid that if she took the clothes out to the mansion, she would wear it on someone else.

Seeing Shui Qingyan's cold and serious expression, Shui Yiyuan frowned: "What do you want?"

Shui Qingyan touched her own face that had been slapped, and slowly said: "I want the Shui’s Marion's wife’s power."

When she said those words, Madam Bai opened her mouth wide and Madam Hu opened his eyes wide. Shui Yiyuan frowned.

The Madam Hu hastily replied: "Old master, the Fourth Miss is still young. Why are you so early …."

"Are you sure you want the wife’s power?" Shui Yiyuan interrupted the Madam Hu with her words.

"If father is unwilling, you can keep it." Shui Qingyan said indifferently.

Hearing this, Madam Hu heaved a long sigh of relief, but before she could even catch her breath, Shui Yiyuan's words choked him back in her chest.

Shui Yiyuan: "I can give it to you."

"Master, please do not. The backyard is not comfortable and Master is not worried." Madam Hu held back the thought in her heart and immediately spoke out.

Shui Qingyan directly ignored Madam Hu and looked at him. "What conditions do you have?"

Shui Yiyuan slowly said: "If you don't manage it well, don't bring up wife’s power ever again."

Shui Qingyan raised her eyebrows, and smiled: "Your daughter thanks father."

Exchanging a palm for a wife’s power, it wasn't too much of a loss.

When the Madam Hu heard him, she could not release half of her pent-up breath. She painstakingly obtained the wife’s power, but it was actually exchanged with a slap from the Fourth Miss.

"Elder sister." Madam Bai and Madam Zeng immediately went forward to help Madam Hu.

Shui Qingyan's return ended just like that.

The Chang Le Yard of Shui Qingyan's grandfather carried her as a wife — — Madam Hua's courtyard.

The wife’s power that Madam Hua had wanted to obtain was finally taken as a wife. However, when Shui Qingyan had obtained the status of wife, Shui Qingyan's grandfather released the power of the clan, and left the clan with her wife, Ning family, who was married into the sect with an eight carriers palanquin sedan. There were no traces of him at all, this had happened three years ago.

Because at that time, Shui Qingyan's older sister Shui Qingcheng had already gotten married, Shui Qingyan's mother had already passed away, and thus, the wife’s power s of Shui’s Marion were also taken away by Madam Hu.

At this time, Shui Qingyan stood at the entrance of the Chang Le Yard, and the corners of her mouth lifted into a light smile.

Leaving the living room, she went straight to the Chang Le Yard for a simple reason.

At that time when Madam Hua and Madam Hu were fighting for rewards, Madam Hua felt cold and missed the chance. Although Madam Hu received rewards, she was still hated by Madam Hua because the so-called enemy was a friend.

As he slowly walked in, before Shui Qingyan could even enter, he heard the sound of cups being thrown. Vaguely, Shui Qingyan could hear the sound of curses, but she was unable to hear them clearly.
