"Don't report to the official!"
Xiao Qintang shouted and rushed into the guest hall.
She protected Mrs. Zhao in front of her and said anxiously to Mrs. Xi: "Mom, what are you doing to report to the official? I gave those things to Brother Lu myself. He didn't want it, but I insisted on giving it..."
"Shut up!"
Seeing that her daughter actually came to cause trouble, Mrs. Xi was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She pointed at Xiao Qintang and cursed angrily, "How can you interrupt what the adults are saying? Who taught you the rules?!"
"Oh... that's not what you said."
When Mrs. Zhao saw her helper coming, she immediately beamed.
While caressing Xiao Qintang's back, she said earnestly: "After all, this is a major event in Qintang's life. Why can't she speak? Mrs. Xi, you are too harsh on the child..."
"You don't have to worry about what I do to my daughter!"
Mrs. Xi was angry.
She saw her daughter protecting someone else's mother and glaring at her, and boundless anger and powerlessness arose in her heart.
"roll."
She took a deep breath and waved her hands expressionlessly, "Get out of here."
"mother……"
Seeing her like this, Xiao Qintang felt panicked.
She quickly asked Baoyue to see Mrs. Zhao off, and then carefully walked to Mrs. Xi with her hands in her hands.
"Mother~"
She tugged on her mother's sleeve and was about to act coquettishly, but Mrs. Xi pushed her away coldly and said coldly: "I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?"
"I……"
Xiao Qintang's breath was suffocated.
She was stunned for a while, and when she saw her mother getting up to leave, she panicked inexplicably.
"mother!"
She threw herself at Mrs. Xi's feet, pulled the hem of her clothes and knelt down to apologize quickly, "Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong, this is my last time, I promise I will never dare to do it again! I thought about it directly I took away the second brother’s betrothal gift, but didn’t I do that? I just... My dowry was too big to take, so I borrowed his things to make up the amount. I’ve already paid them all back. ?"
"Third Miss, do you think this is just a matter of betrothal gift?" In the silence, Yin Xiaorou suddenly spoke.
"Then what else?"
Xiao Qintang was puzzled.
"You underestimate a mother too much." Yin Xiaorou sighed, "Actually, the old lady has been rich all her life, how can she care about a little betrothal gift?
She just hopes that you will marry well, that your husband's family will value you, that you will be able to have servants and have enough food and clothing in the future.
But you teamed up with the Lu family to secretly use the dowry as a betrothal gift, but you clearly looked down on the old lady. Your behavior will make the Lu family look down on our Xiao family.
You just protected someone else's mother. Have you ever thought about how your own mother feels? "
"I……"
Xiao Qintang opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.
She looked at her mother's cold face and suddenly felt a wave of heartfelt fear and suffocation.
She quickly grabbed Mrs. Xi's clothes harder and said in a panic: "Mom, I didn't mean it. I didn't think about it that much. I really didn't think about that much..."
"So you didn't even have to think about it, and you stood on the same side as outsiders?" Mrs. Xi lowered her head and looked at her daughter with disappointment, "I really raised you in vain."
"mother……"
"Don't call me mother."
Madam Xi said calmly, "Don't you like that person named Zhao? From now on, just be her daughter."
As she spoke, she glanced at Yin Xiaorou.
Yin Xiaorou immediately pulled Xiao Qintang away with a look, held Mrs. Xi's hand and said respectfully: "Old madam, Xiaorou will help you go back to rest right now."
"Um."
Mrs. Xi nodded and was about to leave.
At this time, Xiao Qintang suddenly wiped her tears and asked, "Mom, you said you raised me in vain? I would like to ask, when did you raise me?"
"Miss!"
Grandma Fan was anxious. "The old lady is very angry right now. Why are you talking about this?"
"I didn't raise you?!"
Mrs. Xi turned around and looked at her daughter, her eyes instantly turned red, "It's true that I didn't raise you personally, but that's because I had a difficult delivery! I almost lost my life trying to give birth to you!"
"Are you doing it to give birth to me, or to give birth to my second brother!"
Xiao Qintang's vision was hazy and her voice was trembling, but she still said stubbornly: "Actually, you don't care about me at all, right?"
"Why don't I care about you?"
"Where did you say?"
Xiao Qintang suddenly became emotional, "I have written so many letters to you over the years. Every time I was bullied, I wrote to you to beg you to come back. Did you come back once? Did you come back for me once? You Every time it’s because of Xiao Qinyu, every time!”
She wiped her tears, took a deep breath and looked at her mother, "You know, when I was bullied by my eldest and second brothers because of Shuchen Cream, I actually thought about writing to you. But then I thought again, You will definitely not come back for me. At most, you can just write a letter and blame me. It is useless not to say anything, and it will make me always regarded as a accuser by the eldest and second brothers..."
As she said this, she suddenly smiled and looked at her mother with some regret, "Mom, do you know why my second brother is willing to give up his position as the Prime Minister of Dali Temple?"
"Why?"
"Look! When it comes to Xiao Qinyu, you are concerned!"
Xiao Qintang wiped his tears in grievance and said angrily: "Because he owes me!"
"What does he owe you?"
"When you first returned home, didn't you want to fulfill the wish of Yin Xiaorou and my eldest brother? In fact, at that time, my second brother was nervous. I told him that I had a way to make him a hero to save the beauty. I will tell you After talking about me being imprisoned in the Buddhist Hall, I know you will drive Yin Xiaorou away for me...but I also know that as long as my second brother says a word, you will let her go."
"really."
Xiao Qintang swallowed her throat with a smile, and tears fell silently...
She looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, her voice choked, "Mom, how I wish I was wrong..."
"Qintang..."
Xiao Chongjing walked in from the door with a complicated expression, "You are thinking too much, mother doesn't mean that... In mother's heart, you and Qin Yu are the same."
"Don't talk!"
Xiao Qintang closed her eyes tightly and said in disgust. "What qualifications do you have to educate me!"
"I am your brother……"
"elder brother?"
Xiao Qintang laughed.
She took a deep breath and wiped her tears, then looked at Xiao Chongjing coldly, "Maybe it was before, but it's no longer the case since you locked me up in the Buddhist hall for Yin Xiaorou."
"Qintang..."
"Don't call me!"
Xiao Qintang screamed like crazy.
After venting her anger, she looked at Xiao Chongjing with rapid breathing, as if looking at an enemy, "Do you know how scared I was when I was locked up alone in the Buddhist hall! How much I hated it!
Do you know how scary the Bodhisattva is at night? "
