C416 Continuous birth (2/2)
Yes, she was once a famous beauty in the capital. There were many young masters of various sects who admired her. She believed that as long as she became as beautiful as before, everything would change.
Qing An Courtyard.
His mother was sitting on a large rosewood chair with a martial arts belt wrapped around her head. Her eyes were slightly closed as she listened to the crowd talk while Lian Xi stood at the side, serving hot tea.
Her belly was already protruding, and her face was a lot more plump. However, her skin had turned paler, and her complexion looked much better than before she was pregnant.
Mrs. Liu was wearing a brand-new carmine red blouse with scarlet dots of scarlet and golden threads. She was wearing a long golden skirt, and the jade earrings on her ears were glittering at the corners of her cheeks, giving her an extremely rich and luxurious appearance. While happily talking to Lady Yan about her accessories, she was also smiling, and her overjoyed expression was reflected in Lian Yue's eyes, causing Lian Yue's lips to reveal a faint smile.
When Hu saw that Mrs Liu, who usually only lowered her head to please others, had not only unintentionally and ostentatiously displayed her expensive clothes and accessories, but also ignored her from the moment she entered Qing An Courtyard, her expression became somewhat unsightly, and her handkerchief was tightly clenched in her hand.
”Mother, it's been a long time since our Prime Minister's Estate has hosted such a banquet. I want to take advantage of Eldest Uncle's birthday to celebrate. This theater will definitely be chosen. It'll be very lively and entertaining to sing a few songs.”
When Hu Shi heard this, her expression became even more unsightly. Back then, her only daughter's reputation was ruined by the actor, and the one she hated the most was the actor.
”No, Mother, I do not approve of the theatre. We must not let them in.”
Mrs Liu was displeased when she heard this. ”Second sister, you should be clearer than me about the people who came to our uncle's birthday. How could there not be a theater? How could it not be a joke when it's so lonely?”
”Since the Third Young Master likes to listen to the show, why don't you have San Ye take him back to your room and sing something?” Hu Shi harrumphed coldly and unwillingly poked Mrs Liu's sore spot.
”You!” When Mrs Liu heard this, she immediately became unhappy and was about to curse with a depressed face.
”Alright, alright. Both of you, stop quarreling. It's so noisy that your mother's head is hurting.” When the first wife saw her mother frown, she quickly stopped her.
”Humph!” The two of them coldly looked at each other, then turned their faces away and no longer spoke.
She rubbed her temples, looking a little tired, and said, ”The theater is definitely going to be hired, so you don't need to take the second room seriously. That matter is already over, if Nian Bing's heart isn't well, just let her rest in the room when the time comes.”
”Is that so? Mother is right, how can we not hire a theater crew?” Mrs Liu said in a low voice, her tone was full of pride. After being glared at by her mother, she shut her mouth and did not speak.
