"Tell us what's going on. Why did you choose Xiao Hanyuan to go to Ying girl to make trouble?" The lady slapped her hand on the table and asked sternly.
Qu Xuexin was so frightened that her eyes turned red and she almost knelt down in grievance.
Qu Mingcheng's reaction was relatively calm. He looked at the lady and said calmly, "Grandma, you know, I grew up with my eldest cousin since I was a child. In my heart, my eldest cousin is my biological sister, and I have always believed that I only have one biological sister, and no other sisters."
"You..." The lady was trembling with anger. Qu Mingcheng meant that between Qu Xuexin and Qu Moying, he would definitely choose Qu Xuexin.
He also said that he had never felt that he had another sister before.
"Grandmother, this is not my fault. It was my father who sent my fourth sister to the village. Over the years, my fourth sister has never contacted us. In the hearts of my brothers and sisters, there has never been a fourth sister. But now a fourth sister suddenly appears. How can you let us... accept it all at once?"
Qu Mingcheng's eyes also turned red, and he looked at the lady and said.
The lady's hands were on the chair rails, she was trembling, and for a moment she couldn't utter a word.
"I was wrong about cousin Xiao. I shouldn't have said those words to him, but I'm really angry. Grandmother, please punish me if you want to. I will make amends to fourth sister when I have the chance in the future, and I will slowly treat her as my own sister. But right now, I... I still side with eldest sister more."
Qu Mingcheng fell to his knees with a plop.
Qu Xuexin couldn't stand still and knelt down immediately. It was a rare opportunity to say this, "Grandma, this is not my fault. I... I always thought that Cousin Xiao was with Fourth Sister... I was nice to Cousin Xiao before because of Fourth Sister, but now... now you suddenly say it's my fault... I was so angry that I wanted to deal with Fourth Sister."
"Grandma, it's my fault. I saw my eldest sister was angry, so I wanted to help her vent her anger. Before, when I saw my cousin Xiao, I provoked him to get angry and go to find my fourth sister." Qu Mingcheng also rushed to take the blame.
“Second brother, this is my business, you did it for me... Grandmother, I was wrong, but I really don’t want to marry cousin Xiao. I always thought he was with fourth sister..." Qu Xuexin cried, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, secretly resentful in her heart. She was talking privately with Qu Mingcheng and didn't expect that my grandmother would come over.
Not only did he come over, he also stopped the servant who came to tip off, allowing her to hear some of what was said.
If Qu Mingcheng had not been alert, she would have said something even more outrageous.
As soon as she saw the old woman leave, Qu Xuexin knew something was wrong. Fortunately, her second brother was calm and helped her analyze the situation. Otherwise, she would not know how to deal with it at this time.
I gritted my teeth secretly and was extremely angry towards my nanny.
In the inner room, Qu Moying curled up a sneer at the corner of his lips. Qu Mingcheng's reaction was really quick. At this time, he and Qu Xuexin showed a deep sister-brother relationship, which also showed that compared with the two of them, he was a stranger. But this was not their fault, because it was his fault that he did not grow up with them.
She pursed her pink lips and lowered her eyes to hide the hint of coldness.
Is there any reason to frame others? It seems that it is all others' fault and they are completely innocent.
Qu Xuexin even used this incident to express her feelings, which was a really good move.
"Who said that Xiao Hanyuan's entry into the mansion was related to your fourth sister?"
The madam was not so easily fooled. She looked at Qu Xuexin and said sternly, her eyes full of disappointment.
She used to think very highly of this granddaughter. Even though her marriage was not going well, the lady did not look down on her. She just thought that people like her would have a good life in the end.
But now, I feel deeply disappointed and even feel that my previous thoughts were wrong.
Is this granddaughter already so inappropriate now? Is it true that I am too old and have misjudged her
"This... This is what I overheard... what my mother said." Qu Xuexin's eyes wandered, and she pulled Luo out.
"How come I don't know that your mother would know about this?" The old lady sneered and didn't say much to her. She told a maid beside her, "Go and ask the eldest lady to come over."
The old woman nodded and was about to leave. Seeing this, Qu Xuexin panicked and said quickly, "Grandma... I... I didn't hear it from mother, I just... I guessed."
She had no choice but to answer this question.
"You guessed? Why did you guess like that? It's not just your fourth sister who hasn't married in the mansion, you're also one of them. Your fourth sister doesn't need a marriage, but you're the one who doesn't. You didn't guess yourself, but guessed your fourth sister. After you guessed it, you're still so close to Han Yuan, saying that it's for your fourth sister's sake. Your fourth sister herself has never been close to Han Yuan, but you're the one who's so close to Han Yuan, and you even make Han Yuan resent your fourth sister because of you? What's the logic?"
The lady asked coldly, anger flashing on her face. She stared at Qu Xuexin closely, which made Qu Xuexin feel uneasy and her face flushed.
The lady's words did not give her any face at all. She almost pointed out that she was the one who had had such thoughts, but now she blamed Qu Moying.
"Grandma..." Qu Xuexin burst into tears out of shame.
"Don't feel wronged. If you hadn't taken the initiative to get involved in Mr. He's previous incident, what would have happened to you? Would Mr. He have kept nagging you? Are you blaming your fourth sister, thinking that we are biased and using you to lower your fourth sister's reputation and harm your own reputation?"
The lady's face was filled with disappointment as she looked at Qu Xuexin without a trace of a smile.
These words were hidden in the heart of the old lady and also in Qu Xuexin's heart. At this time, they were all pulled away by the old lady without any hesitation. There were no other servants in the room. Even Qu Mingcheng and Qu Xuexin's personal servants were driven out of the door. The only one serving in the room was my nanny.
"Grandma, you are too partial. It was the fourth sister that Mr. He San was planning to marry." Qu Xuexin couldn't control herself for a moment because of what the old lady said. She was filled with resentment and she talked back to the old lady while crying.
"It was discussed at the time, but it was not agreed upon. Moreover, this was the idea of me and your second uncle. Ying girl didn't know about it. What's the point of you bumping into Mr. He? You are a young lady, and you should stay in the mansion. Why do you go to see Mr. He in private?"
The lady said sternly, feeling upset when she looked at Qu Xuexin.
She had made her words so clear, but Qu Xuexin was still pretending to be confused. She even dared to contradict her and ask such questions, which really made her unhappy.
This statement is even more heartbreaking.
"Grandma, I...it was an accident..." Qu Xuexin was so embarrassed that she felt ashamed.
"If it was an accident, how could you have such a pleasant conversation? If there was really nothing wrong, why did Mr. He insist that it was you and not your fourth sister? I wasn't the one who told Mr. He to say that!" The lady said coldly, still feeling angry.
"Ancestor
Mother…" Qu Xuexin was speechless and fell to the ground crying.
For a moment, everyone else in the room fell silent, only Qu Xuexin's mournful cries could be faintly heard in the inner room.
Qu Moying who was sitting inside had a cold look in her eyes. She would not have such meaningless kindness. She would repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge. She would not humble herself to forgive someone like Qu Xuexin, let alone sympathize with her. If she fell into the trap of Qu Xuexin and Qu Mingcheng, she would just cry at this time.
"Go back and call off your marriage with Xiao Hanyuan. From now on, I'll let you stay in the mansion for a while and don't mention marriage anymore." The lady said coldly.
"Grandma!" Qu Xuexin cried out. Are they planning to lock her up for life? No, she still wants to discuss marriage and enter the Prince's Mansion. Grandma can't let this happen.
"Send the eldest lady back!" the lady ordered.
Wu Ma Ma came over, helped Qu Xue Xin up, and whispered, "Miss, come here with me."
"Get out of here, it's all your fault, you damn woman." Qu Xuexin didn't know where the anger came from. She pushed my nanny away and uttered curse words with hatred.
Nanny Wu was caught off guard and stumbled, almost falling. After she stood firm by holding onto a pillar, she looked in astonishment at this eldest lady who had always been gentle and kind.
"Someone, please take the eldest lady out and send her to the eldest brother to be under his care." The lady was furious and shouted harshly.
The two servants standing outside the door heard the noise and came in.
When Qu Xuexin saw how angry the lady was, she didn't dare to make any more noise. She covered her face with her sleeves and turned around, sobbing as she turned around and ran out the door. The two maids followed her out.
"Mingcheng, you disappoint me too." The old lady looked at her grandson in the house. This grandson was one of twin boys and girls. She had always felt that Yu was not a good person, so she asked her son to raise this only grandson in the East Palace, hoping that he would be different from his mother.
"Grandma, I was wrong. I treated my eldest cousin as my real sister, but not my fourth sister. I only thought of her as a relative's sister." Qu Mingcheng lowered his head in shame, with a look of regret and annoyance on his face.
Qu Moying sneered in his heart after hearing this. Qu Mingcheng was much taller than Qu Xuexin. What he said was absolutely flawless. People were naturally close to each other and distant from each other. He and he did not grow up together, so naturally there was no family affection between them. He could not compare to Qu Xuexin, so it was normal for him to stand on Qu Xuexin's side.
And I can't blame him for not growing up with him.
"Mingcheng, please get up. I just hope you won't let me down again in the future." The lady said slowly, her eyes dark and seemed to be filled with some inexplicable emotions.
"Don't worry, grandma. I will. I will never do this again. I feel so sorry for my fourth sister." Qu Mingcheng felt extremely ashamed, and the expression on his face showed that he was indeed extremely regretful.
There is not a single mistake in the whole person.
My Ma went over and helped him up. He stood up and thanked My Ma. He was extremely respectful to the people around the Madam. He did not resent My Ma for overhearing his conversation with Qu Xuexin and treated her with respect as always.
"Go back! Take good care of your injuries and study hard. You don't have to worry about other things."
The lady said.
"Yes, Grandmother!" Qu Mingcheng answered meekly, and turned away without saying anything. He looked calm, but only Yu Dong, who was lying on the curtain at the door of the inner room, could see clearly the resentment in the eyes of this second young master...
