Gong Qiu stuffed the polished dagger under the pillow as usual, and said lightly: "How can you see that the family is easy to get along with?" Even if they are blood relatives, which one is easy to get along with? ”

Standing lightly and no longer speaking, Gong Qiu said again: "Go back to sleep." ”

I wanted to leave, turned around and asked, "Don't you want to see the injured girl?" ”

"Do you need us to see it?" Gong Qiu looked at her, her eyes calm.

Qingyun understood, bowed slightly, and had to close the door.

As soon as the door was closed, Gong Qiu blew the candle in the house, pulled the quilt and fell asleep.

In the courtyard.

The four maids in the family were all there, and Mrs. Wu was also quarreled and gathered together. He Sheng went to the doctor, and the doctor came to take a look, saying that it was a skin injury, and the wound was a little deep, but it didn't hurt the bones, so he stopped the bleeding, prescribed some ointment, told him not to touch the water, etc., and then went.

The rest of the family, you look at me, I look at you, they are all shocked.

Just entered the door, and before the night passed, something like this happened, who didn't panic? If you accidentally provoke it, won't you have to break your legs and arms?

This is the first time that I have seen injuries and blood at home.

Qingtong sat on the kang, pressed the temples that jumped out, and finally spoke: "It's okay, let's go down, sister-in-law He stays." Qingyan, you stand outside the door and think about it! ”

When everyone heard this, they all quietly dispersed, and Qingyan also silently went to the door, stood up straight, and bowed his head.

When the door closed, Qingtong asked Mother He to sit on the chair that resisted, and pinched her eyebrows for a long time before she spoke: "Did my sister-in-law teach Brother Jing and Sister Qing to throw those dirty things into the house?" ”

Mother He was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically, "Master thinks I taught it?" ”

Qingtong only felt a headache, pressed her temples again, and said, "My sister-in-law said too much about the disadvantages of her stepmother in front of Brother Jing and Sister Qing, and it was mostly provocative words, so don't say it again in the future." ”

Hearing this, Mother He's heart was filled with grievances, she wrung her eyebrows, her eyes became wet after a while, and then she choked up and said, "Master thinks I deliberately hurt my brother?" ”

"I know you're doing it for his good, and I'm afraid he'll be wronged, but ......" Qing Tong looked up at her, and saw that her eyes were already wet, so she didn't know what to say. She retracted, and suddenly slowed down her voice again: "Teach them more good ways to behave in the world, instead of being prejudiced against others and causing trouble." ”

Mother He hung her head, folded her hands on her legs, and didn't speak again. Qingtong saw her stiffen again, took a deep breath and said, "Sister-in-law knows that I won't do anything to you, so you are angry with me." But sister-in-law should know that the one in the back is better to mess with less. Let others take the reason, I think it is not possible to be partial. ”

Mother He sniffed, and her nasal voice was extremely nasal: "I didn't mess with her, not today, and not in the future." People like us shouldn't and don't dare to mess with them. At most, I'll be in the front yard and won't come through the second door. ”

Qingtong couldn't do anything with her, and she couldn't say a word. She took a few more breaths and told Mother He to go back. As soon as He's mother left, she raised her voice again and called Qingyan in.

Qing Yan had long been frightened by the dagger, what if the dagger was pierced on the back of He Biqing's hand tonight? He listened to Qing Tong call himself, and moved heavily into the house. When he arrived in front of the kang, without saying a word, he knelt down in front of Qingtong and said, "Dad, I'm sorry, I was wrong." ”

Qingtong didn't tell him to get up, stared at him and said, "Who taught you?" ”

Qing Yan lowered his head and picked his fingers vigorously. only felt that his father's eyes were burning above his head, so he relieved himself and said, "It's Mother Wang in the kitchen." ”

"How was it taught?" Qing Tong asked again.

Qing Yan muttered, and said slowly: "They all said that the stepmother who was going to enter the door was not good, she had been married to two families, and she was a wicked woman." Mother He also said it, telling me to be extra careful. I don't want her to be my stepmother, it was Mother Wang who taught me to take the leper □□ and put it in her house, and disgusted her. ”

"Bang!" Qing Tong slapped the kang table suddenly.

Qing Yan was startled, shrunk back and didn't dare to move again, and didn't dare to speak. In the middle of the night, Qingtong called the two maids in the Qingyan room and asked Chef Wang to find her.

The maid answered, but Qingtong still looked at Qingyan. The two confronted each other up and down, and Qing Tong couldn't help but speak: "If that knife is pierced in your head tonight, what do I think?!" ”

As soon as Qing Yan heard this, she was even more afraid, tears fell out, and she just said, "Dad, I know it's wrong, I won't provoke my stepmother again." ”

Qing Tong was still angry, and continued: "You are also five years old, what have you learned at home?!" How long are you going to be naughty?! I haven't learned enough lessons from the water and falling water, have I?! ”

Qingyan was afraid and aggrieved, and the rest was just crying. Qing Tong was also frightened when he saw him, very pitiful, but he was reluctant to beat him again. After crying and crying for a while, Chef Wang went to the door.

The maid passed the word, and the green pupil suppressed her feelings a little, and said, "Come in." ”

Chef Wang entered the house, smiled and asked for peace, and asked, "What is the master looking for me?" ”

Qingtong looked at her and said, "I don't wronged you today, you taught Brother Jing to take those dirty things and put them in Madame's room, right?" ”

Hearing this, Chef Wang suddenly stopped laughing, glanced at Qing Yan quickly, and hurriedly looked at Qing Tong and said, "I just said it casually, but I didn't know that my brother really did it." ”

Qingtong took a breath and froze her movements, which made Chef Wang very anxious. After a long time, she spoke: "Ming'er will go to He Sheng to settle the rest of the salary and find another way." ”

When Chef Wang heard that Qingtong was going to take her away, she knelt down in a panic, kowtowed, and said: "The old man is angry, it's just a joke, but I don't know that my brother took it seriously." The lord spared me this time, and there will be no next time. ”

Qingtong slapped the kang table a few times, and said fiercely: "Good child, you disgusting mother-in-law has been taught badly!" ”

Chef Wang wanted to beg again, but Qingtong didn't want to listen anymore, so she called the maid to come in and drag the person away. The rest of the things were handed over to He Sheng to deal with, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Qingtong's heart was hard to dissipate, but he couldn't stretch out his slap to slap Qingyan. She looked at him for a long time, and finally said, "Don't sleep tonight, kneel on the bed and think!" After that, he went, and asked the maid to be optimistic about Qingyan.

After returning to the room, I was still angry, and I ate several cups of tea before going to bed. After sleeping for a while, my heart was not steady, and I heard the rooster crowing in a half-dream, and I put on my clothes again and got up to see Qingyan. Seeing that he was still kneeling on the bed, he felt distressed again, and secretly called the maid and said, "Persuade him to sleep, I'm afraid he will kneel." ”

The maid responded to the persuasion, but she only shook her head, and she didn't sleep when she died-when she got up, she was just like Qingtong.

knelt until dawn, got up obediently and washed, and obediently went to the green pupil room to say goodbye.

Qing Tong saw that he knelt all night, and he was so well-behaved at this time, where could there be any qi. Wen Sheng educated him a few words, and then said to him: "Go to your mother's room and say hello to her." ”

Hearing that he wanted to say hello to his stepmother, the expression on Qingyan's face changed. He took two steps back, obviously unwilling, and said for a while: "I'm afraid, don't dare." ”

"It's okay, she won't eat you." Qing Tong smiled.

"But......" Qing Yan was still worried.

"Then ......" Qing Tong stood up, "Dad will take you there, you can greet her in front of Daddy, okay?" ”

Qing Yan thought about it, this would work, and nodded. A little bit, he followed behind Qingtong, walked out of Qingtong's yard, and went to Gongqiu's courtyard.

Qingtong instructed: "You want to call your wife, don't call your stepmother, you know?" ”

Qing Yan nodded: "Got it." Pacing small steps behind her.

At this time, Gong Qiu also got up early and was practicing swords in the courtyard. There are no elders, and she and Qingtong need to do some more trivial and cumbersome courtesies, which also saves trouble.

Qing Yan followed Qing Tong into Gong Qiu's courtyard, and when she saw that the sword she was holding was several times longer than the dagger last night, she was so frightened that she shrank behind Qing Tong again.

Gong Qiu also saw the two of them, stopped his movements, handed the sword to Qingyun, and came over and said, "Say hello to the master." ”

Qing Tong smiled and pulled Qing Yan behind him. Qing Yan was so frightened that she trembled, bent her waist, and said very nervously: "Hello to my wife!" ”

Gong Qiu looked at Qing Yan, then at Qing Yan, and finally reached out to help Qing Yan. Before he could meet it, Qing Yan automatically took a step back.

His fingers froze in mid-air in embarrassment, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Gong Qiu's mouth, and he withdrew his hand.

After the two salutes, Qingtong did not stand idly, and asked how things were going in Guining. Gong Qiu looked at her and said in a cold voice: "Don't bother, I don't have a mother's family." ”

Qing Tong still smiled, and if there was nothing else, he took Qing Yan and left again.

Gong Qiu looked at the departing figure of Qing Tong, and his eyes condensed into a cloud of black-this man is really strange.
