Those old things have been in the past for a long time. Master Mei couldn't help but say: "I didn't really mean to say anything to you. After all, Qingya was seriously injured in that situation..."
"What about now?" Fourth Miss Mei was not excited, her emotions were still calm: "Now you know Qingya's true colors, you know that she deliberately got mad at me since she was a child to make me angry, and pretended to be pitiful to gain sympathy, causing me to be separated from my parents since I was a child. When I grew up and came back, she still didn't let me go, instigated me to go out to burn incense early, and then almost made me fall. After I was rescued, she bribed the villagers on the road to frame me. Why are you still reluctant to punish her?"
Lord Mei was speechless. He always felt that the quarrel between children was not a serious matter. Besides, he only scolded his daughter a few words. Which father in the world has not taught his children a lesson
Besides, he didn't know Qingya was such a child at that time...
"We have developed feelings for each other now. We have raised her for more than ten years. Even cats and dogs should have feelings for her, not to mention a living person who is being raised as a daughter, right?" Fourth Miss Mei raised a mocking smile, somewhat helpless and somewhat sad: "My legitimate daughter has been raised outside for so many years, like an outsider. Doesn't father feel that..."
What do you feel
Master Mei lowered his head with a gloomy expression: "I'm sorry for you."
That’s not the case. Fourth Miss Mei felt a little sad.
The Mei family attaches great importance to rules, and she has never been self-indulgent and willful since she was a child. When Qiuya came, she was very obedient and would give her whatever the wet nurse asked her to give.
But there was one thing, a pearl hairpin that her father brought back from Shanxi. She had just lost her hair at that time and could not wear it, so she kept it in a box. But Qiuya took a fancy to it and she refused to give it to her...
When Qiuya got to her father, she cried out loudly: "My sister said that I was picked up and not a proper girl... I am not worthy of wearing these..."
Her father did not believe her argument. He looked at her with disappointment and took her things away without hesitation and gave them to Qiuya.
Since then, it was common for Qiuya to ask her for things, no matter what it was, sometimes a plate of cakes, sometimes fresh fabrics, sometimes just a nice decoration in the house...
She couldn't keep anything.
Because all of that was used by her parents as favors.
She didn't remember when she started to rebel, but the consequences of resistance were even worse. For some reason, in the eyes of her parents, she gradually became a disobedient, rebellious and selfish child.
She clearly didn't do anything and was clearly giving in, but she couldn't even get a single nice word from anyone.
Before Lin Sanshao appeared, she always felt that her life was dark and gloomy. She thought she would live like this for the rest of her life. Although she was only four years old, she was very keen to realize that her parents were unreliable...
It was Young Master Lin who stood up to help her and told her the truth. It was also Young Master Lin who made her understand that her parents valued other people's opinions more than she did.
It’s not that they don’t love their daughter, nor are they the kind of people who are stupid enough to value outsiders more than their own daughter. It’s just that compared with reputation, this importance seems less important.
After all, Mei Hanlin is well-known and a rare good person.
How can a good person speak harshly to the child of an old friend, and scold the orphan entrusted to him by a deceased person for the sake of his own daughter
She was forced to retreat again and again by Qingya, and finally felt that she had no way out. She had her parents by her side, but it was the same as if she didn't have them.
Even the maids and servant girls who served her closely would stand up for her and confront Qingya, but her parents never asked the reason. Whenever there was a dispute, they would just force her to be patient and sensible.
She is just a little girl of four years old. How sensible can she be
Sometimes she got so upset that she cried and complained to her mother. She will always remember her mother's impatient look and the slaps she gave her.
Later, when she grew up and was raised by her grandmother, she could understand her mother's difficulties to some extent. She had the daughter of a benefactor and old friend at her knees, and she could not treat her with any importance or neglect. If she was not satisfied, she would be criticized.
But she and Mei Hanlin were both good people who had lived a clean life and had never been gossiped about by anyone. Therefore, when faced with a daughter who was troublesome and always causing trouble for others, they could not maintain their patience for too long.
Miss Mei Si hadn't slept well for a long time since then. She knew that her parents were unreliable and Qingya often made trouble for her. She endured it as much as she could, and when she really couldn't bear it anymore and occasionally showed her temper, she would be scolded by her parents again. It was a vicious cycle that seemed to never stop.
Fortunately, her grandmother came to the capital at this time, saw her situation, persuaded her parents, and took her away.
Over the years, in addition to being grateful to her grandmother, she also missed Young Master Lin very much.
So after the riots by the farmers in Zhuangzi and the incident at Baoguo Temple, when she learned that the person who came to help was her childhood benefactor, she made the decision without hesitation.
This is a reliable person. He has been able to stand up for a little girl he didn't even know since he was a child. This is very rare. At least even her parents couldn't treat her fairly, but he did it.
She knew that Master Mei still didn't understand what she meant, so she simply raised her head and looked at her father: "Father, you still don't understand what I mean. I heard what mother said, and I can guess what you are thinking. You don't let me marry the Third Young Master Lin. From your point of view, you naturally love your daughter and it's for my good, but I want to get married myself."
She was not embarrassed at all when she talked about this topic, as if she was just talking about whether the weather was good today. Seeing that Master Mei's eyes widened and seemed a little angry, she raised her voice and said, "I know your concerns, and I also know that marrying him may cause a lot of trouble, but I am not afraid."
It's simply like being possessed by an evil spirit!
Master Mei couldn't help but get angry: "As your parents, how could we possibly harm you?! We didn't let you marry him, of course we had our reasons, you brought up all this nonsense, what on earth do you want to say?! Yes, we did let you down before, but are we not as reliable as an outsider in your eyes?!" (To be continued)
