Chapter 254 Little Jasmine Receives a Red Envelope for the First Time (Third Update)
After leaving the kitchen, Empress Dowager Qin could only sit on the sofa in the living room, watching the television.

The TV program on that day was "Bright Sword".

This is also the most classic scene in "Bright Sword".

The Battle of Pingangrad is hailed as a turning point in World War II.

Kong Jie: Li Yunlong is even more powerful than the division commander; he even mobilized me. Pass on my orders: the 1st Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, the regimental headquarters, the cavalry company, the special service company, the county brigade, the district squads, and the militia—all are to be deployed into battle.

Ding Wei: Alright, Li Yunlong must have made a big move in Ping'an County. In that case, blow up the bridge. We can rebuild it later when we have the chance.

Chu Yunfei: Since Brother Yunlong wants to attack Ping'an County, I, Chu Yunfei, must also lend a hand and let them know why my nickname is Chu Bangchang (Chu the Boss).

Just as the plot reached the point where Li Yunlong was about to bombard Li Xiuqin, there was a knock on the door.

Empress Dowager Qin got up, opened the door, and saw that it was a little girl.

The little girl glanced at Empress Dowager Qin and politely greeted her, "Hello, Grandma!"

A simple "Hello, Grandma" left Empress Dowager Qin somewhat bewildered.

Although becoming a grandmother is a very happy thing, the sudden appearance of a granddaughter was a bit too much for Empress Dowager Qin's heart.

At this moment, Yang Yunlan, who had put her luggage away, came out.

She came to Little Jasmine's side, squatted down, and pulled Little Jasmine's face away.

"Xixi, have you missed me?"

Xiao Moli had only met Yang Yunlan once before, but Yang Yunlan bought her lots and lots of snacks, so she liked Yang Yunlan very much.

She replied, "I've thought about it!"

Empress Dowager Qin patted Yang Yunlan on the shoulder and called out, "Come with me for a moment!"

To Yang Yunlan's surprise, she still followed Empress Dowager Qin to the guest room.

Before leaving, he told Jasmine that he had left some snacks on the table.

Inside the guest room, Empress Dowager Qin sat on the bed and sighed.

Yang Yunlan looked at Empress Dowager Qin with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

Empress Dowager Qin raised her head and asked Yang Yunlan, "Is your brother's girlfriend married before and has a child?"

Yang Yunlan was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

Yang Yunsheng, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the laughter.

He didn't quite understand what was so funny!

Yang Yunlan said to Empress Dowager Qin, "Mom, what are you thinking! How could my brother have a child? If he really had a child, it wouldn't be this big!"

The Queen Mother of Qin understood that the child looked to be five or six years old.

If your son has a child and gets a girl pregnant when he's seventeen or eighteen, wouldn't that be a beast?

The Queen Dowager Qin then said, "I know this child isn't his. I mean, is his girlfriend divorced?"

Yang Yunlan replied, "How could that be? My sister-in-law is a graduate student!"

"What about this child?"

Yang Yunlan explained, "His landlady's child, and since she often travels for work, she asked my brother to look after the child sometimes. Over time, the two of them became quite familiar with each other."

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Yunlan added, "This child is very pitiful. Her parents died in a car accident, and even her own grandmother doesn't want her anymore. She is now living with her aunt, who is also my brother's landlady."

The Empress Dowager Qin let out a soft "Oh dear," clearly overwhelmed with sympathy.

When she left the room, she looked at little Jasmine with pity.

Qin Tailai came to Xiao Moli's side and stuffed all the delicious food on the table into Xiao Moli's hands.

Little Jasmine said, both amused and exasperated, "Grandma, that's enough! I can't eat this much!"

The more the Empress Dowager looked at her, the more she liked her; her heart seemed to melt.

"Child, what's your name?"

Little Jasmine replied, "My name is Feng Xixi, and my nickname is Little Jasmine because my mother loved jasmine flowers when she was alive!" Empress Dowager Qin started stuffing snacks into Little Jasmine's arms again, and then took out two hundred yuan from her wallet and gave it to Little Jasmine.

Little Jasmine was stunned, and didn't take the two hundred yuan.

But Empress Dowager Qin insisted on giving it to her, so Xiao Moli could only look at Yang Yunlan with pleading eyes.

Yang Yunlan said, "Your grandma gave it to you, so just accept it!"

Little Jasmine hesitated for a moment, but still took it.

She sweetly said thank you, Grandma, and even gave Empress Dowager Qin a quick kiss on the cheek.

Empress Dowager Qin laughed so hard that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to disappear.

Yang Yunlan was also somewhat moved by this scene.

Little Jasmine stayed behind for dinner.

Her bowl was filled with food, which was already piled up.

For the first time, Xiao Moli also felt the burden of happiness.

At 7 p.m., Empress Dowager Qin accompanied Yang Yunlan to watch the news broadcast, while Yang Yunsheng lay on the sofa scrolling through his phone.

Empress Dowager Qin hesitated for a moment before asking, "Isn't your girlfriend coming today?"

After Yang Yunsheng sat up straight, he replied, "She will be coming with us to the Great Wall tomorrow. She has things to do today!"

The Empress Dowager Qin nodded and remained silent.

But not long after, there was another knock at the door.

Empress Dowager Qin glanced at Yang Yunsheng, Yang Yunsheng glanced at Yang Yunlan, and Yang Yunlan was watching television.

She pointed to herself: "Me?"

Yang Yunsheng nodded, and Yang Yunlan glared at him through gritted teeth before opening the door and leaving.

The moment the door opened, Yang Yunlan smiled and said, "Is this Sister Jingnan?"

As he spoke, he bent down and began to stroke Little Jasmine's face.

Empress Dowager Qin and Yang Yunsheng both stood up and looked toward the door.

Yang Yunsheng said, "Come in and sit down, don't stand at the door!"

After Feng Jingnan led Xiao Moli in, she greeted Empress Dowager Qin with a smile.

"Auntie, my name is Feng Jingnan, and I'm Xiao Moli's aunt!"

Empress Dowager Qin thought to herself, "How come this landlady is so young and beautiful? I wonder if my son will be unable to resist her!"
Empress Dowager Qin didn't understand Yang Yunsheng at all. How could he possibly lose control and refuse Feng Jingnan's advances?

Empress Dowager Qin nodded and smiled.

Feng Jingnan continued, "By the way, Auntie, thank you for the red envelope you gave Xixi. This is the first time Xixi has ever received one. To express my gratitude, I've picked out a silk scarf for you. Do you like it?"

Empress Dowager Qin was somewhat surprised and hesitated as she looked at the gift box that Feng Jingnan handed over.

Yang Yunsheng said, "Since it's Sister Feng's kind gesture, please accept it!"

To express her liking for the silk scarf, the Queen Dowager Qin took it out and tried it on right there.

Seeing this, Feng Jingnan laughed and said, "When Auntie wears it, she looks like an eighteen-year-old girl!"

The Queen Dowager Qin was so flattered by these words that she was completely disoriented.

Feng Jingnan didn't stay long, and Yang Yunsheng escorted her and Xiao Moli to the door.

Little Jasmine waved and said goodbye.

Empress Dowager Qin and Yang Yunlan both waved goodbye.

After Yang Yunsheng returned from the doorway, Empress Dowager Qin remarked, "This young Feng is quite thoughtful. This scarf looks good on me and is quite beautiful."

Yang Yunsheng smiled and said, "Doesn't it suit you perfectly? This scarf costs over three thousand yuan! It goes with anyone!"
