She held out her hand and showed it to her mother. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Min Yuan was stunned, took a closer look at his daughter's green hands, and didn't find anything unusual, and his face was puzzled.

"Mother, look at my hand, do you have a little callus and scratches?" Yi Ying looked at her mother with a smile.

Min Yuan suddenly, yes, she was used to seeing the hands of the ladies of the family, and she just saw her daughter's white and tender hands, and she didn't feel any difference. But she forgot that Yuan Yuan was not a girl who was raised in the boudoir all these years, but a slave of a family, but these hands did not match her previous identity.

It's just that she still doesn't quite understand what this has to do with what she just asked.

Yiying saw that she understood, so she continued: "The adoptive mother's family has raised her daughter for so many years, and the daughter should also talk to her mother about the situation at home, and the mother said yes, didn't the mother?"

Min Yuan secretly said that this was to change the topic, but he didn't care too much about the daughter who had just been lost, and nodded with a smile, what kind of family raised her Yuan Yuan to this age, she was also curious.

"The adoptive mother's surname is Qin, a single name is a Qing character, and the north is directly affiliated with the Baoding Mansion. When he was young, he was sold by his father to the Pei family in Baoding Mansion as a maid and signed a death deed. She was shrewd and capable, and it didn't take long for her to be promoted, and she was assigned to a young lady of the Pei family as a second-class maid. A few years later, Miss Pei got married, and she went with her to Pei's in-law's house, Lin'an Zhao's family. At the age of eighteen, he was assigned by Pei to a young steward named Zhou Chi in the outer courtyard of the Zhao family, and after three years of marriage, he had both children and daughters, his son was named Zhou Lang, and his daughter was named Zhou Zhilan. Later, when the daughter suffered a great calamity, she picked me up again.

Since bringing me back to the Zhou family, the Qin family has treated me as their own, and at the age of six, he wanted to ask a lady in the neighborhood who is good at the piano to teach me to play the piano, and gave me a lot of gifts to teach the ladies of the Zhao family to learn calligraphy...... The Zhou family is not very wealthy, but over the years, the effort and money spent on me have been much more than that of my brother......"

Min Yuan nodded imperceptibly. She cherishes her daughter because in her heart, her son and daughter are the flesh of her heart, and she now has the strength to spoil her children, but in ordinary people's homes, it is a little unimaginable.

There is often a saying among the people: the daughter is a money-loser, no matter how good she is, she will go to someone else's house with the money in the future, and she can't afford the son's inheritance of the surname, inherit the incense, and meet the court that values filial piety or the son with a conscience, and will definitely give you a good pension to the end.

It is because the market family attaches more importance to men, and it is good for daughters to eat, not to mention the upbringing of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Let's listen to Yuan Yuan say that the Zhou family is just a child, and there is no need for women to be literate at all, as long as they can work, is it better than anything else?

Thinking of this, she felt a little more curious and grateful to the Qin family she had never met. If she raises Yuan Yuan to be blind, she is afraid that it will take several more years of effort in her upbringing to keep her from falling behind and not being ridiculed, which is really a headache.

However, if you think about it carefully, Qin's behavior is really strange, as if he is preparing to send Yuan Yuan back. Could it be that the Qin family had a relationship with the human traffickers back then, and knew Yuan Yuan's true identity? Or was she one of those human traffickers who met the culprit of the murder and extermination, so she fled with this hostage in a hurry?

Her complexion changed slightly, if so, she didn't know what to do with the Qin family. Speaking of which, she does have the grace of nurturing Yuan Yuan, but if the motive is impure or the guilt comes first, it is really a question of who is right and wrong. What she was afraid of was the obvious admiration shown in Yuan Yuan's words......

She patted Yiying's shoulder: "I see." Don't worry, your mother will thank the Zhou family well, you worked hard when you came, have a good rest tonight, if you have anything to say, our mother and daughter will talk about it tomorrow. You're back anyway, so there's no rush at this time. Min Yuan had already recovered his demeanor, hid the scruples in his eyes, and smiled kindly, but that smile couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes after all.

Yi Ying hurriedly tugged at her mother's sleeve. Mother is like this, she must want to find out, in this case, it is better to let her tell her mother in person through the mouth of others, so as to save the villain from secretly making trouble, so that there is no room for this matter to turn around.

Min Yuan looked at his daughter, his heart moved slightly, seeing Yuan Yuan like this, he wanted to know the inside story?

"What's the matter, Yuan Yuan?" she sat down on the edge of the bed again, her eyes solemn.

Yiying adjusted her sitting posture, took a deep breath, and looked at her mother: "Mother, I won't tell you that one of the traffickers back then was my adoptive mother's own sister. ”

Min Yuan's gaze suddenly turned cold, and sure enough.

She was about to speak, but Yi Ying held her hand, and her palm-sized little face was full of serious looks, and Min Yuan couldn't help but feel soft in her heart.

Over the years, because of the loss of her young daughter, she has taken Brother Cheng and Sister Chen very seriously, and she can't tolerate the slightest rude behavior from others towards her children. As soon as she heard that the Qin family had the possibility of being in cahoots with her sister, she couldn't calm down, and subconsciously wanted to punish the Zhou family as a high-ranking person.

Think about it back then, when she was under the hands of the concubine, she didn't know how much she could bear it, but now as a mother, her life is getting better and better, and her temperament has completely changed. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile and shook her head, warning herself not to be greedy and become the soul of the sword of power.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for her own identity, even if the Qin family really participated in the events of that year, with her nine years of dedicated nurturing to Yuan Yuan, it would be enough to offset the grievances. Thinking that Ma Zhaoyi rescued her from the well, she repaid this kindness with her mother for nearly 20 years, but now she doesn't know how to repay the grace of dripping water.

Yiying saw that she was silent for a while, her face was not so ugly, and she guessed that her mother was probably calmer, and then she spoke: "Mother, although my adoptive mother's sister participated in the events of the year, it really has nothing to do with my adoptive mother......

After she said that, she stared at Min Won with a worried expression, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the fabric of the quilt.

Min Yuan made a decision in his heart after hearing this, and when he caught a glimpse of his daughter's nervous appearance, he secretly laughed, but his face was frowning and displeased.

She said in a deep voice: "This Qin clan is really too hateful......

Yiying's heart jumped, and she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's not like this, mother, you listen to me......"

Min Won smiled, laughing heartily.

Yi Ying was stunned for a moment, confused, and cautiously asked, "Mother, what are you laughing at?"

Min Yuan hugged her, patted her head, and said with a smile: "You stupid child......" Yi Ying was stunned, and suddenly understood that her mother was teasing her. She grinned too, her eyes fixed on her mother, full of anticipation.

"I'm talking about the little Qin family, a good girl's family, not with those bad guys, doing evil for the wrong time, doing evil by themselves, and almost dragging down the kind-hearted sister, let me almost misunderstand, is this hateful?"

Yiying nodded.

Min Yuan sighed again: "It's just that one is also a poor person, he was sold into the fire pit when he was a child, and at a young age, he lost his life doing things for others, but he really fulfilled the sentence that poor people must have something to hate." ”

"Mother," her eyes lit up, "so you don't pursue the fault of the Zhou family?"

"How can you pursue the fault?" Min Yuan saw that his daughter was happy, and his mood became happy: "I have to thank them for raising my Yuan Yuan into such a beautiful girl." ”

Yi Ying's face flushed, the mother and daughter talked for a while, and Min Yuan went back to the room to rest.
