Chapter Twenty-Three: Cold Talk

Yi Ying smiled helplessly, and she was already impatient in her heart, although she was not in such a bad mood as Qin's, but she was also eager to know the truth of the year, where did she have time to talk nonsense with Xu's mother here, and her face showed a little impatience. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although Mother Xu loves to chew her tongue, she is not that blind, and she didn't stop talking when she saw her like this, but her eyes rolled, and she thought about it: "There is something I almost forgot, Zhilan, I met Tang's mother on the street today, she said that she was going to come to see your mother, you tell your mother about it." ”

Speaking of which, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, he looked Yiying up and down, covered his mouth and smiled: "In the blink of an eye, you have become a big girl." ”

Don's mother? Yiying was confused, and it took a while to think of such a person.

This Tang's mother was originally his wife's dowry maid, and after entering the Zhao Mansion, she was promised to be married to Bai Zhen, the big shopkeeper of the Zhao family's rice shop.

That Bai Zhen is very business-minded, and after accumulating a certain amount of experience as a big shopkeeper, he secretly did some small business himself, but he didn't know that the development was very good, and in the third year of Tang's marriage, he used his own money to buy a millet shop.

Bai Zhen's business is getting more and more prosperous, and when Master Zhao saw that their family should have been able to redeem themselves, he simply gave this loyal family a decent place and released their slave status. Pei's family already valued this big girl, so naturally he didn't object.

Bai Zhen has been doing business wholeheartedly since then, and now he has two small rice shops in the capital. Tang was grateful for Pei's kindness, and he would send something to Pei every New Year's holiday, and he was still as respectful to her as before.

When Pei saw her like this, he also had a good eye for her, and sometimes if there was any problem in the Bai family's rice shop, the Zhao family would help solve it, so the people up and down the house also respected her very much.

When the Tang family was still in the Zhao family, he was very good with the Qin family who was also serving in the courtyard of his wife, and the two families still lived in the same courtyard in the first two years after marriage. Later, the Zhao family moved to the capital, and Bai Zhen's business also reached the capital, and the two families never broke off contact.

Tang married and gave birth to two sons in the past few years, the eldest son is eighteen this year, married to the daughter of an embroidery house owner who is good in the Bai family, and the second son Bai Mingyuan is fifteen this year and has not yet been engaged.

It was normal to come over to see the Qin family, but Mother Xu's expression and the last words she said made her heart skip a beat. Could it be ......

"Speaking of which, your mother is really a blessing, we Shi Xiang don't know ......" Mother Xu sighed slightly, half envious and half worried.

Yiying only felt that her scalp was numb, and she entered the house after a few perfunctory words, she now has more important things to solve, and the side matters should be put aside first.

When he entered the house, he saw Qin sitting on the kang with an obscure expression.

Seeing her come in, she forced a smile: "What did Mother Xu say to you?" ”

"She said that she met Aunt Tang today, and said that she was going to come over tomorrow." The two families are good friends, and Yiying has always called Tang's aunt.

Qin Shi nodded, and didn't care, it was normal for Tang Zhi to come over. She stood up, "It's not too early, it's time to make lunch." ”

Yiying couldn't help it, and said in a low voice: "Mother, don't you want to explain?" ”

Qin lowered his eyelids, not wanting to, not at all. "Xu is the guy from the Treasure Pavilion who is wrong, but a guy, where can he have such eyesight, this is obviously just a gadget that my wife gave me, where is it so valuable?" Qin Shi tilted his head, and his tone was light.

"Mother!" Yi Ying looked at her steadily, now that the matter is over, why should she refuse to admit it again? "If you can work in the Treasure Pavilion Silver Building, where can you not even recognize the most valuable jadeite?"

She held Qin's hand and looked firm: "Tell me, what is going on?" ”

Qin closed his eyes in pain, clutched the jade pendant tightly in his hand, and exhaled a deep breath for a while: "This jade pendant is yours." ”

Yi Ying's heart was slightly relieved, she was willing to say it, it would be better, she didn't want to attract the suspicion of her mother, Princess Min Yuan, because of Qin's unexplained concealment. In case she believes that the Qin family is related to the missing case that year, she is afraid that she will not be able to save the Zhou family.

She put a shocked look on her face: "What do you mean?" What do you mean it's mine? ”

"This is what you were wearing when I picked you up."

"Picked up? You mean ......"

"That's right, you are not my own, my own daughter fell ill and died early that spring, and you are just a substitute for me to hide from my husband." Qin Shi covered his face, his tone was cold, and he said word by word.

I see, so Zhou Chi didn't know that she was not the daughter of the Zhou family at all. There was a dull pain in her heart, was this true, why did the Qin clan say such hurtful words? She froze there and didn't speak for a moment.

"When I picked you up on the street, you were wearing this piece of jade, and I don't know which lady you are, now that you know about it, you can leave or stay." She stood up and walked to the kitchen, her tone flat.

Yi Ying tugged at her sleeve and turned to her, seeing a tearful face.

"Mother......" She couldn't help choking up, "Why do you want to say such a thing, you want to kick me out?" ”

Qin Shi looked at her daughter with red eyes, and she couldn't say any more cold words when she was ready, what she had been thinking about all along was to inquire about the news slowly, and then explain the matter clearly to her daughter when she determined which one it was.

Unexpectedly, such a sudden thing happened today, which disrupted all her thoughts, and she never expected the parting to come so quickly.

Therefore, she simply said no words, so that Lan'er could leave without regrets, and she could also bury those things in the dust and never turn them out again, so that it would be good for all of them.

But as soon as she saw her daughter's teary eyes, another emotion threw at her overwhelmingly.

This is the daughter she has raised for nine years, from a little doll who can't speak clearly to a slim and beautiful girl now. Over the years, she has taken care of every hair of her, and even loves her more than her son.

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help but cry out loud. Yi Ying thought that in his previous life, the Qin family hanged himself for fear of affecting the Zhou family, and he became more and more uncomfortable. The mother and daughter cried together for a while before they stopped.

"Mother, you don't have to say those words that are not right, I keep all your kindness to me in my heart, I can't fake it, whether I am your biological daughter or not, I will always regard you as a respected mother." Yiying said. Because I had just cried, my voice was still a little unnatural, but my tone was very sincere and firm.

Qin's heart warmed slightly, and he sighed, it was not a good way to avoid the problem after all: "That's it, I'll talk to you about the events of the year first, and it's not too late for you to make a decision after listening." ”
